bulletin HeIpfuI

''The monthly bulletin of the city, which
made it's first appearance last week, is
going to be worked up into valuable
periodical said Commissioner John R.
Hornady. 1.-THE publication will be some
what in the form of a review of the
activities of the commission for each
month. The primary object of the book
let is to educate the people on health
questions.
81 hope to see the time when it will
be necessary for us to print 5,000 copies
each month. This could be done to good
advantage. The distribution of the book
let's would be made through the school
children, who would be instructed to de-
liver the paper to their parents. In
the spring of the year typhoid fever
commences to be prevalent. BY taking
steps through the city publication to
avoid all things that tend to cause the
disease a great deal of good can be done.
The same rule applies to the scores OF
other diseases that can only be COM
batted through active and persistent
publicity as to the cause and necessity
of certain steps for prevention

There is no Bully VandeGraaff

The Aero Club of America, at it's re-
cent annual meeting in New York,
adopted resolutions urging Congress to
provide appropriations to carry into eff
feet the authorization contained in the
naval appropriation bill to provide air
planes for the coast guard for the extern

along the coasts of the United States and
at sea contiguous thereto and to assist
in the national defense" the resolution
declared. But the necessary appro-
priations were not made available for
carrying this plan into effect. 1t is

A GOOD PASTURE

A farmer near Forrest City has a 12-acre permanent pas ture on which he pastured from
 April 1, 1915 to October 15,
 1915, 50 cows, 5 horses and 12 sows and their pigs. This is one of the greatest pasture reports ever sent to the Extension Of flee of the University of Ark ansas. This statement was veri. fled by many ne1ghbors. The pasture has Bermuda grass for its base with bur clover, white clover, hop clover and Lesped- eza, thus giving pasture for practically the whole year. Stock had been kept on this particular pasture every day for seven years. The farmer stated in public meeting re- gently that these 12 acres had produced more money for him than any 30 acres on his farm.

PICK COTTON EARLY

Thousands of dollars of gooo
 cotton money are sacrificed in
 Arkansas each year because
 of failure to get the cotton pick
 ed promptly and before it has opportunity to fall to the ground where it not only be- comes trashy and full of sand but where it is damaged by ex- posture to weather. Cotton left Tn the fields for long period of time fades until it becomes more or less transparent when It IS recognized as blue cotton and the price is reduced by about a cent per pound. Much of the cotton falling to the ground begins to decay and is damaged thereby. Oftentimes when v. cotton is left open in the IleId during a wet season the seed begins to sprout and the subsequent decay leads to stained and inferior cotton. Save the cotton in best possible condition by getting it picked early.

SELECTING SEED

One hundred farmers in ev-
 cry county in Arkansas are
 wanted who will agree to select
 seed corn from their fields in
 September, selecting good ears
 from good stalks, ears not ov-
 CT four feet from the ground and ears hanging down rather than standing out; from stalks
 of medium height, neither too
 tall nor too short; stalks with
 plenty of blades and with a
 good root system. If every far mer will select three times as many bushels of seed as he will probably need for planting, hang up these ears in a shed and then after a month or two remove the husks and sort again and put away for the guarding against the weevil, there will be ample seed supply for next spring. Then Tn February those ears should be sorted again, the tips and butts removed, the ears shelled and the corn graded. | If 100 farmers in each county 1 can be found who will under take this campaign for better seed corn, We car increase our yield in 1917 over 30 per cent | from the same acreage. Rem ember that September is the month for selecting seed corn and remember that seed corn should always be selected from | the standing stalks in Septem- Der and not from the crib in March.

the Experiment Stations have proved the merits of the prac- tice of "hogging down" corn. Let the hogs gather the crop :; fence off a few acres at a time and if no peas in corn the pigs should be fed some bran, or tankago, or peas from another field should be cut and thrown to them. Small fields may be harvested more economically by the pigs than in any other way and the field is being fe- tllized all the time. Every far
 mer should always plan a small field of corn and peas to
 be "hogged down."

RAPE FOR PIGS

Every farmer who expects to carry over a few pigs for the winter should plant within the next two weeks a patch of rape for winter pasture. Rape planted before the middle of September will furnish pasture for at least three months and farmers will be surprised at the number of pigs that can be pastured on an acre. Do not buy feed when it can be grown" should be the motto of every farmer. Arkansas buys too much pork when we can grow pork cheaper here than can the farmers of any of the northern states.

NOTE: You've all undoubtedly heard ot the famous Dr. Pierce and his we'll known medicines. Well, this prescrip- ton IS one that has been successfully used for many years by the physicians and specialists of Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. r., for kidney complaints, and dis eases arising from disorders of the Kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con- gestion of the kidneys, inflammation of the bladder, scalding urine, and urinary troubles.
 Up to this time, vAnuric" has not been on sale to the public, but by the persuasion of many patients and the increased demand for this wonderful healing Tablet, Dr. Pierce has finally decided to put it into the drug stores of this country within immediate reach of all sufferers.
 l know of one or two leading drug gists in town who have managed to procure supply of vAnuric" for their anxious customers in and around this locality. If not obtainable send one dime by mail to Dr. Pierce for trial package or 50 cents for full treatment.

COMES FROM SPAIN
 TO HOT SPRINGS
J. Larsen of Bibloo, Spain, En- joys Course of Ba ths at Our Famous Health Resort

According to reports from Hot Springs, among those who hold a long distance record for coming to that wonderfully fa- nous health and pleasure re- sort, for a course of baths is J. Larsen, of Bibloo, Spain. He said that he enjoyed his trip to the Springs, and before he had been indulging in the baths a week, declared that he had noted the benefit of this fa- nous hot water.
 MT. Larsen has been con- nected with some very promi- nent lumber interests in Nor way which transacted big business not only in Spain but also in other European coun- tries. The present war has, in great measure, made the lumber business in Europe any thing but encouraging. It is un- derstood that Mf. Larsen has been requested, since it became known he was coming to Hot Springs, to investigate the lum- Der regions of this country and immediately after his course of
The Newark journal., 1916-08-31

baths he purposes to make a tour through the great North west and Canada.
 MT. Larsen is not very talk ative but while in Hot Springs made some very agreeable ac- quaintances, among others he met C. J. Alberts, a we'll known and wealthy contractor who is at present located in Colon, on the Panama Canal. This is also MT. Alberts' initial visit to Hot Springs, although during the past fifteen months he has been in the United States on several business trips.
 T have heard many in the Canal zone speak of Hot Springs, said Mr.Alberts, and l am pleased to state that the reports l received have not been in the least exaggerated. Several of the prominent en- gineers on the Canal, I under stand, will be here during the remaining summer months when they take their vacation. Hot Springs is pretty we'll known on the Isthmus."
