Arkansas valley Lands in Demand

The demand for farm lands all
over the valley is said to be great.
In fact enough cannot be found by
the dealers in real estate to supply
the calls made upon them by in
vestOrs. This speaks well for this
section of the valley At this time,
more than any other, the farmer
undoubtedly has period of good
prices before him. Many renters are
taking this view and are paying
fabulous prices for leases on farms
in this section of the valley. A.

acre farm last week for term OF

The local epidemic of the flu

hold again last week, is reported to
be under control at this time with
no new cases appearing within the

quarantine and this together with
the precautions that have been
taken, has shown that this insidi.

Superior Court at San Francisco, io-
sued an order temporarily restraining

PRAYER ROCK WIDELY KNOWN
Idea of Vermont Citizen Has Been
Productive of Far Reaching and
Splendid Results.

On cliff at the foot of brakes hill,
In Bristol, VT, Is the so-called Prayer
rock, which has become widely known
during the past Is years with the in
creased use of motor cars. 1t was in
1891 that DR.. Joseph G. Greene, for
mer citizen of Lincoln, VT, bethought
himself how he might do something to
stop the. excessive use of hard lam
guage INDUCED in by exasperated farm
erS seeking to urge their horses and
oxen up the steep rise in the main
road between Lincoln and Starksboro.
He decided that some ethical or re-
ligious reminder should be established
at the foot of brakes hill, and finally
gave an order to a stonecutter to en-
grave the Lords Prayer upon the face
of the cliff AS the nature of the rock
did not bring out the lettering clearly.
Doctor Greene had the text painted
white. Every spring the town author
tiles now repaint the letters. For
many years Doctor Greene lived in
Buffalo. and there received hundreds
of letters from tourists, expressing APP
prevail of his prayer rock idea. The
carving had the effect desired, for few
drivers could but be patient with their
beasts of burden in the face Of the
scripturai quotation on that great tab
let.

Statesmen Robbed Russia.

The congress of Berlin, consisting Of
Germany, Austria, France, England,
Italy, Russia and Turkey, lasted only
one month-from June 13 to July Is.
1878. Russia did not have "a look-in,"
but was treated in the most arbitrary
manner by Bismarck and Beaconsfield.
The peace of San Stefano. although
formally concluded between the yicto-
rious Russians and the conquered
Turks, was torn up and Russia was
practically robbed of all her success
given only Bessarabia. taken from
Roumania, and the rocky citadel of
Kars In Asia Minor. Nations that had
not participated in the humbling of
Turkey were literally treated. Bull
garia, north Of the Balkans; Serbia,
Montenegro, Roumania were declared
independent. Not single reform"
promised by the sublime porte was
carried into effect.
The congress of Berlin was nothing
but personal triumph for Beacons-
field and Bismarck and has been the
direct cause of at least five subse-
Quent wars.

DATES TO BREED BEEF COWS
To Secure Uniform Herd Of Calves
Definite Time Of Year Should
Be Decided Upon.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
In order to have uniform herd of
calves, cows should be bred at def
mite time of year with this point In
view. For fall and early winter calves
(November and December), cows
should be bred during February and
March. For spring calves February
and March,, which in most cases is a
more desirable date to have the calves
dropped, the cows should be bred dur
Ing May and June. Where milk for
family use during winter months is
not an important consideration cows
may be more cheaply wintered, and
calves escape flies and hot weather
when dropped at that time. In all
breeding operations pure-bred sires
only should be used.
Breeders of pure-bred cattle, who
desire to grow calves for exhibition,
saould breed their cows from the LIST
to the 18th of December to produce
calves of senior classification, and
from the LIST to the 18th of April for
calves of junior rating.
