Must Eradicate the Tick.

Arkansas can never become great dairy state until the tick is eradicated. Ticks not only suck the blood from our animals and stunt them as we'll as make it impossible to produce milk most economically, but they make 1t expensive and impractical to import better sires In great numbers in an effort to grade up the cattle we have and eliminate the scrub.
 Better Care Necessary-Brinos
 Returns.
 It Is true that the cattle tick is large ly responsible for the number and quality of our native COWS; however, the indifferent care which the cows have received is. perhaps. responsible even to larger extent. Dairying has been too much on the summer pasture basis too long in Arkansas. Most Of our cows are freshened in the spring and turned on to the pasture during the summer to make living and give what little milk they can produce un der these conditions. Many of these CoWS sO uIy Dy Iail ana are then roughed through the winter on little or no feed The best COW In the world cannot produce milk with such care.
 There Is no other animal on the farm that is so hard and so willing a worker as the dairy COW, provided she is supplied the raw material to work with. Considering what the Arkan- sas farmer puts into his COWS in the way of feed and care. they are return ing to him a greater return than any other farm animal in spite of the low production. Give the Arkansas farm milk COW chance and she will work day and night. winter and summer and produce generously the best food for your family.

We had lots of fun on the trip.

Little Tales of The Camp
By Burt l.. Berry, Co. B. Second Idaho

am writing from the prettiesl
town in Idaho. AS | look out of the
tent door, | can see the tail and ma
jestic mountains, snow covered and
bedecked with hugh pines, towering
high into the shielding depths OF
woody white clouds that are hang.
ing in space OF spring blue sky.
The town Lies back of our tents, and
10 built In a most unique manner.
Front street, where the wharves are,
runs for ten blocks directly on the
river bank. From there the town
spreads to the south up a mountain
side. Each block Is terraced with a
concrete wall, which from the river
gives the city the appearance of a
hugh fort. There are great pine
trees all over town with here and
there lonely specimen of some
other variety of tree. laundering Is
the leading industry and from one
point on the wharf l counted II
mills.
Last Thursday afternoon we were
sitting quietly in the tent when we
heard a hurrah and commotion and
everyone starred ON the run for the
line-where all formations are made.
We thought it necessary for Noun
tain Home to be represented In any
stampede, SO we made formation in
squad and broke for the line. Then
We heard the joyful news, we were
TO be mustered into the Federal SER
vice, which meant that we were to
leave Boise. At 2:15 we became real
honest to God soldiers and not a
piece OF this tin stuff left on us.
Then came our first experience of
breaking camp, and that sure is some
job. There were II sod tents to
strike, then all of our personal equip
ment to gather. Equipment as We
now are-war strength-consists a
one overcoat, gun, bayonet, cart
ridge belt, knap-sack, mess-kit, first
aid packet, half shelter tent, poncho,
blankets and a small intnenching
shovel or intrenching tool, according
to ones position in the squad. The
total weight when in actual service is
between 30 and 70 pounds, and by
the time soldier has packed that
all day, and linked 20 miles as We
soon will do, they can appreciate
one of the "Hip-Hale" army cots.
At Boise and Nampa, and so far as
that goes, all along the line, they
gave US a jolly farewell. At Nampa,
where most of Co. B lived the boys
