Rocks she sent three hens which sold for $1.OO each. This is a record price for hens and Mrs. Henard has others like these which she will market later. Every farmer could be marketing just such hens as these and we predict that the time is not far off when people will be breeding and raising this kind instead of the 50 cent variety.
 Mrs. John Taylor of near Bull vile marketed a nice coop of poultry and case of fresh eggs Saturday. Ask this lady how well pleased she was with the McCrory market.
 Esq. F. B. Winfree of Tip con- tributed three large hogs to the McCrory market last week and received $132.7O for them. This was just $2.70 more than MT. Winfree asked for the hogs and he is one farmer who is glad to see a real good live hog market at McCrory.
 Mrs. w. M. Conner of north of town closed out her entire flock of Leghorn chickens Satur- day on the high market here and while in town purchased pure bred Rhode Island Red cockrell. Mrs. Conner has been partial to the Leghorns for years but has learned that the Reds" are equally as good layers and bring a great deal more on the market, and are far more valuable on the table. She is the first to get en- tirely rid of the Leghorns and we will be glad to see others profit by her good example.

WHY LIVE STOCK
 SHOULD BE RAISED
Some Advice by Love Banks, Successful Cross County
 Farmer.

There are two important req sous why the Arkansas farmer should raise live stock, in the opinion of Love Banks, who owns a large farm at Smithdale, Cross county. and who has made 9 success of raising live stock.
 The first reason is that there is more profit and less risk in raising live stock than there is in cotton.
 The second is that there has never been in any country per- manent successful system of agri- culture with live stock left out.
 The Profitable Farming Bureau wrote to MT. Banks, asking him to give his views on live stock raising for the benefit of other Arkansas farmers. He was ask ed to write on "Why the Farmer Should Grow Into the Live Stock Business.
 T think the word grow was used wisely" wrote Mr.. Banks in reply. For I think growing into the live stock industry would be profitable where going into it might not"
 CAMPAIGN BRINGS RESULTS.
 In concluding his letter, MT. Banks wrote:
 Il am glad to say that the profitable farming campaign put on by you gentlemen is bringing far better results than 1 had ever hoped for.
 There are several reasons why live stock should and can be grown by our Arkansas far mer, " wrote MT. Banks.
 The first reason is because there is more money to be made Tn growing live stock and there IS less risk than there is in grow ing cotton. This is the main req son for anybody embarking into any business. 1 have just return ca from trip through Missouri and Illinois, and have been visit Ing some of the best live stock growers in those states. Those people have land worth $25O an acre that will not produce any more corn than ours, and they nave more money in the bank, nave educated their children in colleges, have good houses and good barns and their lands are improving in fertility each year. IL IS generally supposed that the farmers of Arkansas are not in- tellgent enough to grow live stock ana grow them profitably. This 's not a fact, but mankind are ', .letures of habit, habits of thought as we'll as others, are our

1 ueSC ones TOT the human family to change. The farmers of that county think in terms of cattle and hogs, while we think in terms of cotton.
 LIVE STOCK NECESSARY
 "The second reason why we should grow live stock in Arkan- Nsas is that there never has been in any country, in Europe, Asia or America, a permanent system of agriculture where live stock have been left out of the farm ing operations.
 T would not advise man who had been growing cotton all of his life to embark on an extreme scale, for like the successful growing of corn or cotton. it re- quires knowledge based upon experience in growing to make live stock growing a success.
 If the average tenant would keep but from one to four cows or heifers, and one or two sows and breed his cows to a good 
 registered bull, and save each heifer calf and keep all of the calves in a healthy condition, he would soon be independent. For a little study, a piece of pa per and a pencil will demonstrate that one COW kept and bred for 10 years, and if every other calf were a heifer calf, and they were kept bred and no heifer calves were sold, in period of 10 years offsprings from the one COW would amount to 62 head. Now the amount of profit de- rived from this would depend on the kind of bull used. The ten- ant, in 10 years has not only ac- quired the 62 head of cattle, but has acquired the knowledge of value of good breeding in cat tie and how to care for them.
 AS TO REGISTERED CATTLE. r T hear a good deal of talk of people going into the registered cattle business. Now this feature of the cattle business should be approached very care fully. Only a few men are fitted by nature and education to grow pedigreed live stock successfully. There are the questions of the superiority of one strain over another, of the popularity of one strain over another, and the question of nicking one family with another besides the ques- tion of keeping records fitting in- telligently, advertising and fitting for the show rings.
 If 1 were a young man start ing into the pure bred cattle bus mess I would buy as good a

McCrory a Good Market.

Mrs. w. o. Scales of near De- View was the first to bring chick ems to market in an automobile. Last Saturday she brought ten nice hens in her new Overland car for which she received $500. Mrs. Scales was we'll pleased with the proceeds from the sale of her poultry and promises to be a freqnent patron of the local market. This is only the begin ming of an era when farmers and their wives will be marketing their produce in autos, and we are pleased to see Mrs. Scales taking the initiative along this as we'll as other lines of progressive farming and marketing of farm products.
 Mrs. T. J. Henard topped the poultry market Saturday by send- ing 21 hens and five cockrells to market, receiving a total of $15. = % for the pen. They were extra nice and she received one cent per pound above the regular quotations. In her pen of Barred to grow many, but what l did grow 1 would want to make ex- ceptionally good.
 The difference between a $500 bull and a $10O bull is only a question of breeding and hand ling. One is no more trouble to raise than the other" :"
