Cattle.

Cdbtle.
We can patronize our home breed
of cattle and still get the best; an
animal is not necessarily better be-
cause it is imported. Many of our
best strains have been further devel-
oped after coming to America, and
many of the best individuals of all
breeds are now found here.
There will be less and less of the
pasturing of cattle; it will not pay
to pasture them on small farms,
where the utmost must be made
from each acre. 1t will be using
four or five acres for purpose for
which one will suffice, and we lose
the product of the rest. The soiling
system will eventually change the
present methods, and the preserva-
ton of green foods in the silo is the
first step in that direction.
The hand of improvement has not
touched the old musical COW bell,
and it has the same peculiar clank-
ing sound it had one hundred years
ago. Whether made of iron or from
some composition, it is not cast, but
bent into shape and rivited. They
are made by but four firms, but are
sold everywhere, even to South
America and Australia. In the
South and West, where there is less
restraint by fences, BIZ far the larger
number are now used. No boy or
girl ought to die happy until they
have once heard the monotonous
tinkle of the COW bell.
Cattle will often seem half crazy
over a large bone found in the pas
tnre, and cow will gnaw at one for
hours. They crave bone meal as
they do salt, and little might prof
itably be supplied, at least with the
stock feed we buy. Many dairymen
and hOrsemen have learned Its val
ne, and use it in their condition
powders.
For the dairy, for work, for breed
ing, and even for fattening, the
quiet, docile animal is always worth
more than the fractions one. 1t is
expensive to keep the latter within
bounds, for they are disturbing
element in the herd.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 18??-1935, 1899-03-31

The larger the acreage under Gull
tivation the less attention can be
given to details, and, consequently,
the smaller average profit an acre
can be procured.
The fodder only will pay for the
tillage of the corn fields. The revo-
luton in fodder feeding is on, and it
Is folly not to make more of it in our
calculations. Rightly treated, it
surpasses timothy hay in the degree
of waste, in digestibility and in the
amount harvested from an acre.
Ought there be any such thing as
worn out farm? Free fertilization
and thorough cultivation have made
the old farms of New England pro-
ductive, and they again yield as
bountifully as ever they did.
Nothing will return a larger net
profit of all the things one may elect
to do on the farm than field of po-
tatoes on good soil, planted with
care and with seed carefully select
ed, thoroughly cultivated and pro-
tected from insects.
The tiller must know Just how it is
done himself; only then will the re-
ports from the experiment stations
be of value. One must verify their
suggestions, must know the adapta-
bility of his own land; he can there
after venture confidently.
1t were better to hire the wheat or
the meadows cut than to neglect
some other farm work which may
mean loss of many dollars. There
is just right time when any special
stroke should be taken with any
crop. After the shower the potato
field will demand the stirring which,
If put off until week later, will
cause it to yield fifty or a hundred
dollars less than your neighbours, on
no better soil.
There must be a rotation of crops,
but that is not all. The land yields
up to every crop certain properties,
leaving the farm ana the farmers
just that much poorer. These must
be resupplied, and there is no other
way to do. .
Early sown wheat which had its
roots deep in the soil continued to
grow during the cold weather of Oc-
tober and November, while that
which was later sown was at a
standstill. The one is now showing
its advantage in its early spring
start over the other.
The successful man in the future
will find he can not afford to under
take any more than he can do well.
Many try too much. 1t is better to
drop one or two or three things in
which there is no profit when half
done, and put all the time on other
crops and make then pay grandly.
What robbers weeds are. They
eat up so much plant food and drink
so much water from the fields in a
dry time; and yet they can be kept
down cheaply with mower and har-
row, if we but use our brains to good
advantage in the way of manage
ment.
Vegetable matter of any sor which
has produced seeds must be buried
deep 70 prevent termination. We
know that wheat and oats, when cut
in the dough stage, make good grain
and that green peas plowed under
will often terminate sufficiently to
cover the ground with new crop of
vegetation. All this tends to prove
that weed Feeds will ripen and open
after being cut.
Fit your land to produce an excep-
tional crop of wheat; there is moth
ing palmer than that you can not
afford to cultivate it for an average
yield.

Swine.

There should not be the usual
losses with the early spring pigs.
Give proper attention at farrowing
time, and see that they have warm,
dry quarters. The question of feed
ing and proper exercise should be
well studied, and the mother should
be cared for just right.
No other stock pays like the pig.
1t is marketable from the time it is
farrowed until full grown and fat.
A sow with her litter will always
sell at top prices, and the farmer is
not Obliged to feed them until ma
turity To get hIs money out of them.
They can be fattened to sell in the
spring or the fall, when it is possible
TO get the best gain at lowest cost.
Since they consume so much which
would otherwise be waste, they can
be kept anywhere with profit.
Bone meal and fresh, sound meat
are a. good for hogs as for poultry.

quire it. The bone grinder will pay
and the pigs will improve in growth
and vigor. The time will come when
the packing houses will meet just
this demand, with good meat cooked
to destroy all disease germs.
However rich and concentrated
the food given to fattening hogs, to
the younger pigs we should give
cooling, laxative rations. Soaked
oats is an excellent beginning, and
better than too much thin slops,
which so soon make them unshapely.
The successful rounding up at the
end of their existence depends much
upon the good form we procure to
them at the beginning. The most
profitable pork comes from a good
breed, and Berkshires and Poland
Chinas are among the best. No
where does the market stand higher
than where Poland Ch,nas stand al

FOUR LIVES LOST
by the burning o. n Boarding House In
Menu his.

Menu his.
MEMPHIS, Marcn 2I.-In a fire
this morning Mt Mrs Il b. NOlen's
boarding house at l04 Court street
there was property loss of not more
than so 800, but four lives were lost
and six people were more or less
seriously injured.
The dead are: Mrs. Lilly Chaplin,
30 years old; Roy Chaplin. 10; Ches-
ter Chapin, 4; Thomas Bull, so.
At the time Of the fire there were
tweDty.one people in the house.
The fire originated in the front room
on the first floor. A fire from the
CRATE ignited the hanging curtains
in the early part of the night, and a
prompt response by the fire depart
ment succeeded in eXtinguishing the
flames without damage. The guests
retired at the usual hour. At an
early hour this morning flames were
seen Issuing from the house, and the
inmates wildly rushing about in a
frantic effort to escape. The de-
partment again responded promptly,
and after the fire was under control
the search revealed the charred
bodies of the dead.
In one of the front rooms on the
second floor the bodies of Mrs. Chap
in and her two little sons were found
These unfOrtunates died by suffoca-
ton. They were only slightly
burned.
In the rear room on the same floor
was found the body of Bull. The
aged man had died in an heroic
attempt to save the life of Mrs.
Chaplin and her little children. He
was burned to death, and his body
presented horrible spectacle. His
eyes were burned out, and one look
ing at his charred remains could not
tell whether he had been a white
man or negro.
Miss Katie Loyd's burns are seri-
Gus, but the remainder of the in
jured guests are doing well and will
recover.
Miss Lloyd is Mayor Williams
official stenographer. She was
sleeping in rear room of the build
ing. The young womans bed was
afire when she awoke, and she leaped
through a window and fell to the
ground twenty feet below. She Law
on the ground for fifteen minutes be-
fore her presence was discovered.
The fire was remarkably rapid
one and had made considerable
Roadway by the time the firemen
arrived on the scene. The injured
were taken to st. Joseph Hospital.
