 DAWSON, Y r. Oct. 22. With the freezing up of the Klondike and the closing down of the dredges for the winter, the cream of the placer ground of that famous stream is practically cleaned out The big dredges of the Yukon Cold company finished the seasons work by dredg- ing the entire creek from enl 10 end and also completed dredgin5 Edo rado to 2 above discovery lasj week.
 These operations take about all of the best of the ground. The once rtch dirt is exhausted, or practically so. There is still some pay dirt to be handled, but the biggest part of the job is completed. and part of the dredges will be taken to other sections.
 Crews are now engaged in knock ing down two of the largest dredges and they will be hauled in during the winter so they can be loaded and shipped to the Outside on one of the first boats next spring While it is not known where they will be sent, it is thought likely that they may be taken to Murray, Idaho where one of the company's dredges from here was shipped last June and which has just been installed and is now working.

Lespedeza, or Japas ese clover, Is a

paCture, and, in some places, for its
hay 1t makes its growth during the
summer time and dies with the first
frost coming again the next year, not
from the root but from seed which
drop in the fall. Although it is ordi-
narily found growing wild along the
roadsides and in waste places, yet
seed can be obtained and it can be
planted as any other farm crop and
thus get crop when it is desired

But when the neighbors' boys are bad
He makes his views we'll known.
He talks of discipline severe

And tells folks that their children dea,

VNHE mothers look at him and smile

They listen to him teach.

He leads his life alone.

In Some States Each Cow Produces

With less than three milk cows TO
every farm and the average product
per COW worth only s15.47 for a year,
Arkansas is far behind other states in
the production OF dairy products, The
natural advantages for making pas.
lures, hay and grain are tremendous,
and the Arkansas farmer can we'll
afford to pay more attention to the
milk COW, Is the opinion OF II. Il.
Dvorachek, Professor of Animal Hus-
bandry with the University OF Arkan.
sas. who says that good dairy COW
in many states Is expected to bring In
gross income OF at least $500 to
$4,000 year.
Must Eradicate the Tick.
Arkansas can never become a great
dairy state until the tick is eradieated.
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 It
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 Necesssry-Brlnes
Returns.
II 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 a 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 go dry by fall and 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 greater return than any
other farm animal in spite Of the low
production. Give the Arkansas farm
milk COW a chance and she will work
day and night, winter and summer,
and produce generously the best food
