Persons having land for sale or com munities wishing to invite the settler to their midst may write direct to those whose names are here given.
 c. E. Oliver writes from Panta Gorda, Florida: "Send me any infor- nation you have on Northern Arkan- sas. l will leave here by the middle of July and want to learn what | can about farming conditions there"
 S. A. Warren, 15S Panama Avenue, San Antonio, Texas, writes, q am thinking of buying a small farm in Northwest Arkansas and would like to get all the information l can or that country. Would like to locate near Fayetteville"
 C. U. Smith, Hermetz Building, Evansville, Indiana, is interested in Arkansas and expects to obtain a large tract of land suitable for rais- ing cotton and corn, hogs and cattle.
 George E. Arceneaux of Evange- line, La, writes for information about farm lands in Arkansas.

BETTER CATTLE MOVEMENT.

This movement for pure bred cat tie in Arkansas is growing fast and faster. Already pure bred bulls have been brought into the following coun- ties: Cross, Poinsett, Woodruff, Craighead, Greene. Clay, Randolph, Jackson, Carroll, Benton and Wash ington in the north and in Logan, Miller, Ouachita, Drew. Arkansas, Lafayette, Ashley and probably many others. In all counties where one or more cars of pure bred stuff have been brought in the bankers have as sisted or have financed the whole pur- chase. It means that Arkansas bank CTS are big men and see into the fu- ture. In all cases the money is loaned to farmers where desired at low rate of interest. The county agricul- tural agents have in almost every case been the guilty instigators" or the willing conspirators" of the bankers. The Extension Service of the University of Arkansas and U. s. Department of Agriculture has three field men in this work, helping to or ganize the farmers, going with com mittees to select stock and in every possible way assisting in the move ment. Farmers and others interested should take the matter up with the county agricultural agent, or if no agent in the county, should write the Director Extension Service, Old State House, Little Rock, for dates with the specialists or for information as to where to secure the stock.

NEW METHOD MAKING ANTI
 HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Specialists Find Way to Produce a Clear, Sterilized Product Free
 Foot and Mouth Virus.

Washington, D. C., June 72.-A new method of preparing anti-hog cholera serum, which permits the economical production of a clear ster- ilized product, has just been described in the Journal of Agricultural Re- search of the U S. Department of Agriculture. The advantage claimed for the new method is that it makes possible the production of an anti-hog cholera serum which can be quickly sterilized by heat to a point that will absolutely kill any germs of foot and mouth disease and so yield a serum that is absolutely safe even if taken from a hog which might harbor foot and mouth disease and yet give no in- dication of being infected.
 The method, as described by it's discoverers, Dr. Marion Dorset and R. R. Henley, of the Biochemic Divi- sion, Bureau of Animal Industry, con- sists in adding a slight amount of an extract from ordinary white navy beans to the defbrinated hog cholera immune blood which has been the form of the serum used in the past
 The addition of this bean extract causes the red cells of the blood to agglutinate and when the mixture is whirled on a centrifuge the red cells pack together and form a rather stiff jelly-like mass. It is then possible to pour off clear serum, leaving be- hind the red cells which play no part in preventing hog cholera and which in fact simply tend to dilute the serum and render it's sterilization by heat impracticable. To increase the yield of clear serum the discoverers
 added small amount of ordinary salt and found that they obtained
 from 70 to "A per cent of clear serum. | The clear serum thus obtained it was 1 found could be heated for 30 minutes at temperature of 60 degrees Centi- grade without changing it's consist ency or lessening in any way its eff fectiveness in preventing hog cholera. The heating to this point for this time | is more than sufficient to kill any germs of foot and mouth disease which might accidentally be present. Practical tests with hogs show that probably all of the antibodies useful in combating hog cholera were re- tained in the serum and the red cells extracted contained so few, if any, of these valuable bodies as to make ie residue of red cells useless in prevent ing the disease.
 Before the clear serum was devel- oped, many attempts were made to sterilize by heat in practicable way the ordinary defbrinated blood. It was found, however, that heating the old product up to 60 degrees Centi- grade resulted in more or less com plete coagulation of the defibrinated blood and in the destruction of the serum so far as it's commercial worth !! is concerned. It was found that the highest temperature that could be used was 50 degrees Centigrade and it was necessary to keep the old serum at this temperature for 12 hours to make certain that the virus of foot and mouth disease was killed.

REMEDIES FOR "CHIGGERS.'

If bath in hot water, or in water containing salt or strong soap, is taken within a few hours after expos ure in shrubbery and weeds infested with "chiggers," or "red bugs" no i'll effects will be experienced After a long exposure, however, bath has practically no effect, and direct reme- dies are necessary.
 After irritation has set in. and red spots appear, the application of g moderately strong solution of ann monia to the affected parts is recom- mended by the Department of Agri- cultures entomologists. A super saturated solution of bicarbonate of soda, or common cooking sbda or saleratus, will afford relief. Liberal applications should be made until the irritation subsidies. If the suffering is severe, dilute tincture of iodine or collodion should be lightly applied.
