MAINTAING A BEEF HERD.

Equipment in the way of shelter and
fences is necessary to raise beet Cattle
successfully. Shelter is necessary espe-
cially for pregnant cows and for those
cows which have young calves at foot
However, the buildings need not be so
elaborate as for dairy herd because
beef cattle can endure greater cold and
more exposure The farmer should have
a barn for the COWS during late pregnan-
cy and calving, and there should be d
tight shelter in the pen or lot where the
steers are on feed. This shed should be
enclosed on three sides and open to the
south. Fences are, of course, a necessity,
and should be good. A poor fence, with
loose hanging gates is an abomination.
Other features, such as feed lot fences,
feed troughs, ETC., will suggest them
selves. The Importance and economy of
shelter and fencing is being exemphfed
by the constantly increasing use of these
aides on the range. Very little range IS
now unfenced and no up-to-date ranchman
would think of facing the winter without
good shelters in his pastures and an am
pie supply of hay on hand.

in the feeds are the urotein compounds
largely nitrogenous. The body components
which are most necessary to consider
and the fat. Phosphates, ashh and water
are usually supplied without difficulty.
Protein compounds in the body are prin-
cipally found in the muscles, bone and
blood, whereas fats are found as the
name indicates. These components must
be supplied in the feed if the feeding is
to be successful. The proteids are derived
from the protein substances in the feed
and the fat is produced from the fat in
the feed but mainly from the carbohy-
drates. group of chemical compounds in
GLIDING starches, sugars, celluloids, etc A
feed which has large amount of protein
(Which is rich in nitrogen) is called nj
trogenous feed. This class includes cot
ton seed, cotton seed meal, linseed meal,
wheat bran, the seeds of leguminous
plants, such as peas beans, peanuts, etc.
Hay from leguminous plants-alfalfa, clio
yer, vetches, COW jeas, soy bens, etc, is

ration which has large amount Of
heterogeneous matter or protein and a small
amount of carbohydrates is therefore,
called a heterogeneous or narrow alton, and
a ration with a large amount of carbohy-
drates and a small amount of protein is
carbonaceous or wide ration. OF the two,
the narrow ration is generally the more
expensive, but the manure made is much
more valuable Generally, also, farmers
have to add a heterogeneous feed stuff to
their rations to balance them This is
true in the corn belt. In the South,
however, your most available feeds are
very highly heterogeneous. cotton seed
meal and hull ration is about twice as
narrow as the average corn and hay "a
tionof the central states. Therefore the
problem for the Southern feeder is to
obtain an economical feed which will
supply the lacking carbohydrates IN the
ration.
The desirable feature of adding such a
feed to the ration is the increased eff
fectiveness OF the feeding. Either wide
or narrow ration is of necessity a monot-
onous one, and a steer will grow tired OF
! it and lose appetite. Given, however, va
rlety of feed and appetite keeps on edge
and larger gains result.
Considerable work has been done in the
feeding of steers by experiment stations
and rightfully had for its object the study
OF the proper use of the cotton products,
seed, meal and hulls.

SOUTHERN RATIONs.

Southern feeders are most interested in
the study of the proper use of cotton
seed meal and cotton seed hulls in the
beef ration. In some localities cattle are
fattened exclusively on these feeds and
good results are accomplished. Perhaps
it is not saying too much to state that
these products will always form large
part of the Southern beef producing rat
ton. However, cotton seed meal and
hulls alone form what is known as very
narrow ration. Not only is such a ration
apt to become monotonous, but it is COM
posed of feeding nutriments that are

MIXED RATIONS.

every good results have beer obtained
by using a mixed ration in which hulls
were fed ad libitum and cotton seed meal
formed the basis of the grain ration. In
experiments in which the use Of corn WAS
investigated, the Texas Station found that
where cotton seed meal and hulls were
fed for sixty days followed by forty days
OH the same ration to which a small
amount of corn chops had been added,
cheaper but smaller gains were obtained
than where a small amount of corn chops
was fed during the entire 100 days.
''The Tennessee Station found the best
ration used during a series of three years
experience to be one of corn meal, cottca
seed meal, corn silage and COW pea hay
The steers were fed 120 days. At the
start tn grain was fed in the proportion
or two pounds cotton seed meal to one
fern meal, changing to two pounds OF
corn meal to one of cotton seed meal at
the close Hay and silage was given at
the rate of Is at the start and LIZ at
the close. On this ration the steers made
an average daily gain of 81 pounds, con-
Stunning SO pounds of dry matter OF feed
for each pound of gain. The money cost
per pound of gain was 7.3 cents, figuring
high rates for feed and 6.1 cents, at low
rates. This was the best ration fed, but
at low rates for feed, a ration Of corn
meal, COW pea hay and corn stover made
slightly cheaper grains.
IF the present cotton lands in the old
states are TO be made fertile again the
solution of the problem must be through
animal husbandry and crop rotation. We
must make more lint cotton per acre. We
cannot plant an increased acreage and
cultivate it successfully because of our
labor troubles"

COTTON SEED MEAL AND HULLs.

THE use of a ration of meal and hulls
alone has been found advisable only where
no other feeds are at hand. Such a ra-
ton is open to the same objection as the
corn and hay ration. 1t Is monotonoGs,
very apt to dull the appetite and expen-
sve, on account of the relatively small
gains obtained Yet these rations often
give good results. They can, however, be
improved by the addition of some corn
meal, hay or silage. Near the rice mills
rice meal is a very economical and valua-
BILE feed It's use with hulls and meal
should be given in the ratio of one pound
OF meal to about five of bulls. The Texas
Experiment Station advises considerable
fiexibiity in this ratio, depending on the
relative price of meal and bulls. If meal
is with FIVE tines as much per ton as
hulls tn proportion should be Is; II meal
costs only three times as much as hulls,
the ration should be 13. The minimum
amount of hulls which could be fed sue
cessfully was found by the same author
ity to be " pounds of hulls to che pound
o. meal Other stations have fed still
smaller proportions of hulls. The North
Carolina Station found that hulls alone
were not sufficient for maintenance.

ESTABLISHING A HERD.

To establish herd of good paying beef
cattle in Georgia, no better plan can be
suggested than the prchase of native
cows which show as much beef type rs
possible, and bull of one of the beef
breeds. This bull should be pure bred,
and if really good work is to be done,
bulls of the same breed should be used
year after year. To cross breeds, chang
ing from one to the other, destroys the
effect of all good work previously ac-
complished.

Radium Not a Cure for Cancer.

From the New York Herald.
The abandonment of the ra1ium cure for
cancer by the London Hospital will be a
veritable surprise to many medical men
who have been enthusiastic advocates of
the old story of eXtravagant expectations
and the theoretical prediction of wonderful
results. At best its trial was nothing more
than an experiment with new produ 1T
having remarkable properties. 1t was quite
natural that disease that has defied cure
save by the knife should have been Sc
lected as a test of the new qualities of a
hitherto untried substance, AS has been
frequently limited in the Herald the prom
ises made by different observers We're al
together too positive for possible reaIiza-
ton. The theories were captivating in
disappointing in their application to prac-
tice.
So far no absolute cures have been eff
fected in the deeper cancerous growths,
while the superficial ones have responded
no more satisfactorily to radio-activity
than to the X ray or the ordinary caustic
salyes. 1t is a great pity that the record
out this should not discourage the hopeful
scientist in his future endeavors to fight
the most relentless of all maladies with
still newer methods. 1t is a melancholy
comfort however, to know that there is
no use In wasting more time in wrong d.
recttons of effort. The recognition of fall
ure is always useful lesson of experience.

The Development of the South.
From the New York Sun.


With 100000 bale cotton crops at good
prices, a 25,OCJ, coo ton coal output, $780,
900 ton pig iron production, to say nothing
of lumber, tobacco, fruit and other crops
and products the southern states are Great
ing conditions unknown in their previous
history. While the measure of prosperity
has varied in the different lines, all have
contributed to an unprecedented activity
and a substantial increase in general
wealth. Manufacturing enterprises have
taken the place of the old-time plantations
and have established new channels of en-
ployment for the people. The south has
prospered, and its prosperity continues.
The results of all this are manifest not
alone in the cities. but in almost every
town, village and hamlet. New buildings
appear everywhere. Sewer systems, water
worns, electric plants for lighting and for
trolley lines are fast becoming as much
of necessity as they are in the north and
the west, and the south has the money to
pay for them. Municipal bond issues have
reached huge aggregate, and have in gen.
eral found ready sale at good prices often
in the immediate local market. Southern
ports have done an enormously increased
business and southern railways have been
hard pressed to handle their traffic
