Live Stock Improvement.
Arkansas is not up to the
I standard, or even the average,
in good stock. It might be urg
ed that it is not good advertis
ing to make such an admission,
If the statement were made for
advertising purposes, it would
inot be good; but it is not. By all
means we shouldn’t fool our
I selves.
I
The first step to stock im
provement is to realize the neec
of it. We have some good stocl
in different parts of the state
some that is real classy in fact
but we haven’t enough. Arkan
! sas has some fine horses, rea
; good ones. It would be a revela
tion to lots of folks to see ;T
1 fine, blooded horses in Arkansas
in a show ring. If we had oik
good blooded stallion in eacl
neighborhood, it would mear
! a vast improvement in horses ii
five years. But we must tak<
! some steps to get rid of th<
“scrub” and “grade” stallions
The half and quarter breeds an
not fit for breeding purposes am
I should be eliminated.
There is equally as much roon
for improvement in cattle. \\ i
have but few dairy cows witl
notable records as milk or butte
producers. Other states hav<
' plenty of cows that product
; more than 30 pounds of butte:
1 i per week. We haven’t them ii
Arkansas. The beef type cattk
i are not up to the average either

Don’t make the mistake of buying a cheap range—a great many ranges are built to sell—not to use. Don’t malt
mistake of buying the range you expect to last a lifetime “unsight unseen”—you’ll be sure to be disappointed. I
let any smooth-tongued salesman talk you into buying a n unknown range—get a Majestic and you're sure to be i
tied. Come to our store during the demonstration week—see the Great Majestic—find out why the Majestic is
j per cent stronger than other ranges, where others are weakest. And remember we can show you hundreds of sati
| Majestic owners in and around Newport—people who are just as enthusiastic about the Great Majestic asnate.
THIS IS A SPECIAL INVITATION TO YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS.

though we have some fine indi
vidual specimens.
In hogs Arkansas is not so far
behind, notwithstanding the re
puted “razorback”. Arkansas
has some real classy, high bred
hogs, in most all breeds. You see
it don’t take so long to breed up
the hogs. We have lots of the
scrub variety, but they can be
bred out of existence in a year
or two, while it is not so with
horses and cattle.
I want to see Arkansas move
up in the stock line. We need
stock improvement; we must
have it. Let’s all push and pull
together to get it, and begin
right now. A good way to begin
is to start a crusade against the
impure bred males. We need a
registration for males. All
males for breeding purposes
should be registered with the
Agricultural Department or
some other place, and a license 1
be paid before service could be
rendered, and the scrubs should
not be allowed to be registered
or licensed to render service at
all.
In the case of horses and cat
tle a veterinary’s certificate
should be required’, to show that
the animals are free from hered-!
itary disease or physical defi
ciencies of importance. By the
registration and license system.
i
the half breeds and grades would
soon be eliminated, and we would
have in a few years mostly pure u
bred stock. Then stock raising ju
would take a boom that would nj
bring Arkansas to the front in ^
quick time. The higher the val- a
ue of a product, no matter what |
it is, the greater will be the in- ty
terest taken in it. It certainly y
is true of live stock. eLt’s im- =
prove it the next year. j a
