1t is a great mistake to neglect the
growing of root crops for stock feed
ing purposes. says the Western Rural
Sugar beets, rutabagas, turnips, car
rots. parsnips and potatoes are all i'm
portant and valuable root crops to be
grown and used as feed for the farm
animals.
THE shrinking of the stock when
taken off the pastures in the fall sea-
son can measurably be saved by the
use of roots in connection with the
dry feeds hay, straw, folders. etc. The
change from grass to cured feeds is
the cause of many animals entering
into a condition of decline, that can
not be arrested only by substituting
some succulent food such as root
crops. 1t is also well known by those
who have had experience in feeding
root crops that all kinds of stock are
benefited by their use. Animals given
an occasional feed of roots are seldom
out of fix or off their feed.
The growing of root crops for stock
need not be confined to any special
kind or condition of animals. Every
horse. COW. sheep. hog and fowl should
be privileged to an occasional feed OF
roots. All root crops are generally
grown IN this part of the country The
sugar beet is one of the most profitable
in matter Of feed value and in way OF
crop yield. II is also an easy crop
handled and is readily preserved for
feed purposes when stored in the root
cellar. Turnips and rutabagas are also
prolific yielders and are grown with
practically no expense OF labor.

JUSTICE OF MAN TO MAN
Rev. Bascom Anthony's Talk About Crime and
Gamblers.

In his sermon last night at Trinity
Methodist Church on justice of man
to man, Rev. Bascom Anthony discuss
ed local topics and commented on the
number of recent homicides.
The church was crowded, and quite
a number of those who heard the min
lister went because they expected to
hear him refer to the shooting ARRAY
on Broughton street last week. Rev.
Mr.. Anthony made reference to this
happening and had something to say
also about the gamblers.
For three years I've been wanting
to say something about the exceeding
cheapness of human life" said the
minister. 81 held off because 1 didn't
want to prejudice a case against any
man who was in Jail at the time. If I
kept on waiting, though, would never
talk about it. There is hardly a week
that goes along without some bloody
and serious murder, some heartless, re-
morseless, pitiless and cruel killing. I
am not blood thirsty, but 1 believe in
the oldtime gallows and the old-time
hangings.
This thing of changing sentence
don't do. After a little along comes a
petition and everybody signs it and
the pardon board gives a pardon This
makes human life very cheap. Signing
petitions is a weakness of man. l can
take around a petition to hang you
and get 500 signatures in no time, and
you be careful that you don't sign it
yourself. This antipathy towards hang
ing is bound to be followed by a flood
tide of crime. If you jurors would

Only the rich can afford to keep poor
cows, and they don't, and the poorer
a man is the better his few cows should
be If he is to make a living. To see
a poor man keeping poor cows is a
sight to make one sigh at the short
sightedness of man. A poor man can
not afford to waste his money on poor
cows. Usually we hear ii said that the
poor man cannot afford to own good
cows. This is contrary to all expert
ence. If he can afford to own any he
can afford to own the best.
The poor man who refuses to spend
the money necessary to purchase a good
COW, and finds enough to get hold or
a second grade one must work double
time to get any profit and wait years
before he can breed up to a higher
standard. 1t is better to realize at
the beginning that the poor man had
better put all his money in half a dozen
good cows than in a dozen or two in
ferior ones. In the end he will make
more money. The profits of dairyins
depend entirely upon the cows and the
system of raising feed and giving it to
the animals. There is nothing else to
decide the matter one way or the other.
At the Pan-American model dairy there
were good but not fancy bred
cows which made $40 profit per
the cost of feed had been
deducted, which, by the way, was
bought in the market and not raised
on the home farm. If one good COW will
make that profit, a herd of ten or
twenty should net one a pretty fair in
come. This can be done in almost any
region where the grass is good and
where good methods Of farming and
dairying are observed.
More can be accomplished, but this
is enough to show what some dairies
can and are doing.
1t matters not so much what kind
of breed you have, so long as the ami
mails are adapted to dairying. and they
are good representatives of their race.
Each animal must be judged in it's in
dividual merits, and If not up to the
standard 1t should be discarded. Price
does not always measure the value OF
a serviceable COW. Sometimes high
prices are tackled on for certain struc-
tural forms and breed characteristics
which would not be of any use to the
ordinary dairyman. Northwestern

Rye For Winter Pasture in Gulf
STATES

I notice some articles lately upon
the raising of rye for winter pasture,

of work to be done in preparing the
ground, planting, etc. 1t is also sug-

of other crops. This may be necessary
in some ATTITUDES. but for anyone liv-
ing in the Gulf states is a waste of la

observed that they were not set on the
level, nor in burrows exactly. After
blowing the land he lays it off, at
three feet, and lists on this furrow
with large turn pillow. On the north
side of this high list and somewhat on
the sides of it the plants are set This
elevates them little out of the fur
row, so that heavy rains will not wash
over or cover them in the winter. 1t
has the effect also of protecting the
plants considerably from the early
morning sun, While they are frozen.
As the soil crumbles, as the result of
thawing, it settles down below the
plants and gradually fills the furrow
about the plants.
Plants set in this manner were much
less likely to be injured by cold than
when set on the level or even in fur
rows. 1t will not do at all TO set on
high beds with the mistaken idea that
warmth was the desideratum This is
the very thing not desired during the
period of severest weather. Alternate
freezing and thawing out is what
does the damage, and, of course, thav-
ing out was to be prevented as much
as possible. Our cabbage growers,
amateurs, especially, may find this hint
useful.
