TIE ARKANSAS VALLEY.
VIM. F. BECK.

Today Wednesday, August 15. l am kins township, the one secured from Saline county last spring. Woodson town is eighteen miles from Little Rock on the Pine Bluff pike. There is no pike on either side of Woodsol however, but about the toughest road you ever saw This township was acquired for the sole purpose of com pleting the gap in the pike, and it is time it was completed From Sweet Home to Perkins township all except land is rolling and the timber is in- terspersed with pine. The finest bot tom land l came to was an almost black chocolate. Later l saw a great deal of regular bottom sandy land. I passed through the Greenfield planta- ton managed by T. N. Enforce and worked with colored labor to the Mag nus place, where large percentage of the tenants are white. This place is directly on the river and consists of 5000 acres about 1000 in cultiva. tion.
 J. P. Magnus owns a two-thirds in terest and MT. S. A. Moore, of Bates vile, owns the remainder Mir Mag. nus with his family lives on the place. very pretty white cottage with at tic is nearing completion and MT. Moore will move into it about the last of this month.
 Ben Thompson, of the tenants, is cutting stave timber out of cotton. wood which is hauled to Woodson A boat whistled for the other side Of the river last night and took off t load from there. l saw a beautiful maple tree over three feet through and an elm over four I was told that thirty-five years ago boats tied up 10 the elm. It is now a half mile from the river and between 1t and the river is a fine field of cotton. The finest of Bermuda grass covers the 1evees and all white tenants are fur nished fine Bermuda grass pasture. There is no white school on the place though there is said to be sixty or sev- enty white childrtn MT. Magnus is doing his best to secure white school which the place is entitled to- Mr Magnus owns some red poll bulls, the use of which he allows his tenants free. Cotton and corn prospects are splendid this year.
 All the cotton gins are being pre-. pared for a big run this fall.
 Crossing the river below the gin I found the steamboat, Bettie Sue, Capt. J. D. Cozark, with barge load of cottonwood stave timber nearly ready to leave for Little Rock. I went over to the headquarters of the plan tation and found it belonged to Jno. H. Laster and consisted of 1000 acres, 5000 in cultivation. It is in Eagle township in the southeast corner of the county, adjoining Lonoke and Jef- ferson counties.

Township, the extreme southeast cor ner of Pulaski county.

I soon came to a trail leading into swamp and concluded to investigate. I came to tremendous long cypress log which was used as foot log. I followed it and came to another by the time reached the end of it 1 was far enough into swamp to expect to see hip popotamus or a crocodile, or the cen ter of Africa; after crossing one tree after another until I had concluded it would be impossible to return reach ed the bank Climbing on top found myself at the backside of the Ven able plantation At the residence found J. L. Venable, the venerable owner at the home of one of his sons. Here I found an old-fashioned South ern family friendly and as hospitable as they used to be ''before the war" Another son lived in a nearby house.
 Crossing the Arkansas river into Perkins, the new township recently acquired from Saline county, I was promptly warned to beware of mad dogs. They had just killed one and MT. Magnus, the owner, was notifying the people to kill every strange dog they saw, as there were three more mad ones at large on the place.
 I had passed through a few days before and was requested to attend a protracted meeting at the home of MT Kumpe on the place. That night one of the mad dogs was there and bit every dog he found. Had have been there he might have bit me.

KEROSENE IN A CARBURET0R
Practical Device Offered by Leading
Manufaeturer-Tried Out In
Foreign Market.

Motorists have realized for some
time that a shortage of gasoline was
inevitable ut some future time and
while the increasing price Of gasoline
has not been a serious drawback to
the use Of pleasure cars, has been
an item Of moment In the operating
expense of commercial vehicles Of
various kinds. A practical kerosene
carburetor has been recently offered
by a leading manufacturer that has
been In process of development for
several years and which was thor
oughly tried out in the foreign mar
ket before 1t was introduced for do
nestle consumption, according to Sci
entific American. The carburetOr will
handle kerosene, benzol, distillate or
any hydrocarbon with a final boiling
point below 600 degrees. 1t can be
utilized on either commercial carr or
pleasure autos because 1t permits of
flexible engine operation by throttle
control.

cending flames lighted up the gayIy-
dressed company, seen in contrast to
the blackened timbers of the lofty oak
en- roof.
To find the origin of our own deeply
recessed fireplaces we must 90 back
to the time when the NOrmans-in
whose stronghOlds of two or more sto-
ries the central position was imprac-
ticable-placed the fire in a shallow
recess under an arch in the side wall
Of the chamber. This means of escape
for the smoke does not appear to have
been very successful, as we find a lit
tie later a flue carried up in the wall
and finished with a tall cylindrical
chimney.
The Normans provided no recess un.
der the flue, but a hood was construct
ed over the hearth to collect the
smoke. As fireplaces increased in
number the trend was toward a deep
er hearth recess, when the hoods be-
came unnecessary and ceased to be
used.

UNGUARDED DITCH A MENACE
Causes Many Automobile Accidents,
Says American Highway Assoeia-
ton in Recent Report

The unguarded ditch at the side OF
the road is a growing menace to motor
travel, according to the American
Highway association. Formerly, says
q recent report, when roads were used
only by horse-drawn vehicles, the deep
side ditch and the high, narrow en-
bankment were not particularly dam
gerous. Between the driver and the
horse there was enough combined in
~telligence to avoid accidents at such
places.
But with the advent of the automo-
bile the conditions have changed. II a
car is forced off the hard road way on
to soft shoulders v the most skillful
driver will sometimes lose control of 1t.
In such cases there is a real danger to
the occupants of the car.
A record compiled by state authori-
ties in Iowa showed hat 1853 cars
turned turtle in a period of three
months.

COUNTRY BUTTER IS
IMPROPERLY WORKED
Most Common Faults Are Dirty
Milking and Handling Of Milk
Utensils Not Clean.

Country butter can and ought to be
better than creamery butter. in the
opinion Of A. s. Neale, dairy specialist,
division of extension, Kansas State
Agricultural college. The farmer Is
able to control the production of the
cream while the creamery cannot do
this.
1.-THE most common faults in making
country butter" said Mr.. Neale, "are
dirty milking and handling Of milk,
improper sterilization Of separators
and other milk utensils, mixing of
fresh warm cream with cold, partly
ripened cream, storing cream in a
warm place. allowing the cream to
stand too long before ripening. i'm
proper ripening, churning at too high
q temperature, and inadequate wash
ing and working of the butter after
churning.
."While saving cream in order to
get enough for a churning, store 1t at
a temperature at least as low as that
Of cold well water. New q when
added should always be cooled and
thoroughly mixed to insure evenness
OF ripening.

CHRISTMAS.TIME LOG FIRES
Ancient Practice Dates Back to Saxon
Times and Through the Medi.
evaI Period.

The n apartment which stands out
most prominently in the history of do
nestle habitatiOns from Saxon times
and throughout the medieval period
to the prosaic present is the great
hall, or fire hall, wherein the family
and the guests were wont to assemble.
The method of heating this apartment
was in the beginning merely q log
fire built upon a stone hearth in the
center of the room. The smoke from
this fire endeavored to find its way out
of a hole in the roof of the hall. but
was often driven back by a gust of
wind, to the discomfort of the occu-
pants. From this rude beginning the
fireplace which we know today was
evolved.
In the old manor houses the most
notable fireplace ceremony of the year
was the dragging in and placing of the
great log at Christmas time. The an
Gent Yuletide revels must have pre-
sented a striking picture when the -

Hog cholera killed enough animals
last year to have fed 100000 soldiers
q meat ration for 81 months. This
loss is unnecessary, for hog cholera
can be prevented to a large extent,
as has been demonstrated by county
agents working through the United
States department Of agriculture and
state agricultural colleges, in the
northern and western states.
Hog cholera prevention and control
are possible through vaccination, dis
infection and the quarantine Of infect
ed herds. The local conditions largely
determine the methods Of procedure
by the agents. They work with groups
Of farmers, teaching them how to
vaccinate their hogs, conlne and quar-
antine their herds, and disinfect their
premises. The most effective cam
paigns, perhaps, have followed the
uniting Of the farmers into Organiza'
lions by the county agents. Frequent
~ these are farm bureaus with COM
mitteemen under each community
This is pronounced an ideal organiza'
ton to promote educational work rela'
tive to cholera. Cholera control clubs
are very effective when first organ.
ICED and at work, but when cholera
disappears from the county the or
ganization tends to d~isintegrate. On
the other hand, the farm bureau Is
constantly engaged on other lines and
is ever ready to handle cholera when
1t appears.
Lend instruments to Farmers.
The work of the county agents Is
often supplemented by the services OF
specialists from agricultural colleges
and the United States department OF
agriculture. In a number Of states
farm bureaus and cholera control
clubs have purchased instruments to
lend to the farmers and have stored
supplies Of serum to have 1t immedi'
ately available when needed n to
lessen the cost Of vaccination.
Reports to the department of agri'
culture show approximately 2,959,322
hogs killed by cholera for the year
ending March 81, 1917. These hogs
would have made approximately $780,
$4,000 pounds of pork which would
have furnished a meat ration for an
army of q million men for 169 days
Reports of the agents also show that
in counties and communities where
campaigns were undertaken and the
suggested program followed, the loss
from hog cholera was very materially
reduced. County agents In nine OF
the northern and western states report
a saving Of $92,547 in 1915, brought
about by the vaccination of 1887
hogs. From reports of 146 agents
showing a vaccination of 21O,337 hogs
it is estimated that there was a saving
