Evening Shade, Ark., May 18.—(F) —Time was when the presence of a flock of houn' dogs around the cabin of an Arkansas countryman was re garded as a sure sign of shiftlessness and that the farmer was “triflin'." Today, however, this has riianged. For the 'houn' dog made famous in song and story has become the means of a surer prosperity for its -raiser than corn or cotton. The hogs may run wild without care, bat the dog gets the best. If you travel through the Oxark hills and hear the booming voices of a group of hounds you mffy conclude that some dog owner is plying his trade of training hounds for the mar ket. A good hound today is worth up to SSO in the eastern market. And a good pair of hounds will pay theit keep Within a few days through the fur they will capture.
