be tested for milling. A third variety
was selected for good feeding quail.

Rev. Samuel P. Montgomery of

gentleman has some mining stock
which he tried to unload on members
OF his flock. Elder Edward P. Heath
thought this was unclerical in the ex-

muscular Christian, promptly
knocked the elder down. Mr.. Heath
jumped up and the two clinched for
moment, but the preacher landed once

OUT as they say at goddess prize

arrest of the pastor, who gave bail.

Fattenins Cattle in the South.

EdAtSUIO9 SdIItS III the SoUtn.
Any man that travels through the
South, especially if he is acquainted
with the great stock raising districts
of the West and Northwest, will be
struck by the fewness of the beef
cattle he sees on southern meadows.
Here and there family cow is to be
seen, but, for the most part, the beef
animal is wanting. Yet the South
needs live stock, and, on account of
the mildness of the climate, live stock
should DE easily and cheaply raised.
This is the view taken of the matter
by some of the leading agriculturists
OF the South. AS demonstration of
the ability of the southern states to
tatten and market cattle of high quail
lty the Louisiana station undertook
the growing of Is Angus calves which
they purchased in November, 1901, in
Illinois and immunizeG against the
Texas fever. The calves were thep
taken to Louisiana and fed largely on
by-products from the three great sta
pies OF that state, cotton seed oil, rice
bran and molasses. This last winter
the 16 steers were sold in the Chi
cago market at the top price for the
week. The journey to Chicago re-
quired six days from Baton Rouge,
and some severe weather was encoun-
tered during the trip. AS the animals
took the highest price for the week,
the natural inference is that as good
beeves can be made on the by-prod-
ucts OF Louisiana crops as on the
corn of the corn belt; and the by
products of Louisiana are cheap in
price, and labor is also cheap there.
At Baton Rouge the beeves were
grazed on the pastures during the
spring and fall, but received all the
time an extra feed of the materials
we have mentioned. This test was
! of calves born above the quarantine
line. The station is now about to
enter on another test of feeding calves
born below the quarantine line, to
demonstrate that it pays to raise
beeves in Louisiana as we'll as to feed
them there.
A few tests of this kind will doubt
less start the southern farmers to the
growing and feeding of cattle. The
great bugbear has been Texas fever,
and it was supposed that no live stock
industry could thrive below a certain
badly defined line. If the South goes
into stock raising, a new day will
have dawned there, and agriculture
in the South will receive a new i'm.
petus. There are northern stockmen
who have been for ten years predict
ing that the farms of the Gulf States
would yet carry great herds of we'll
bred cattle.

Pure-Bred Cattle in Aruen,ina,

Americans are interested in the
cattle conditions in Argentina for two
reasons. One is that Argentina is a
competitor of the American stockman
in the English market, and the other
is that the Argentine farmer is becom-
ing large buyer of blooded bulls.
Whether these bulls are to come from
England or the United States, the
American stockman is interested. In
either case it raises the price of Amer
lean bulls, by drawing on the Ameri-
can supply or diverting the export
able English supply from the United
States to Argentina. Just now the
Argentine stockmen are making ex-
traordlnary efforts to improve the
quality OF their cattle, as is evidenced
by the high prices they are paying
for good bulls. Frank w. Bic,Anell a
special agent of the Department of
Agriculture of the United States, says
that the demand for Shorthorn bulls
is increasing at great rate. There
is a better demand for young bulls of
this breed than ever before. Every
'~SAAIAAAAs~A 40 CuuSdVOI1uS W raise up
the standard of his herd. The aim is
to produce steers for export of such
tine finish that they will be able to
compete successfully with the cattle
being shipped from the United States.
This demand for bulls has been slim
ulated by the planting of alfalfa on
the great stock farms, for this has
enormously increased the animal-car-
rying power Of the ranches. In some
cases three times as many animals
can be kept as when the ranges were
left to the native grasses. The Eng
llsh quarantine against Argentine cat
tle has rather helped than hindered
the business, as it has determined the
Argentine farmers to send out chilled
meat, which costs only one-fourth as
much to transport as did the live
cattle, and sells for as much in the
English market. Last November the
highest price ever paid for a bull in
Argentina was paid for an imported
Shorthorn, the price being 1920. At
the same time two other bulls we're
sold, one for $1,000 and the other for
$1,000. It is evident that our stock
breeders have strong competitors to

There is very popular belief that
the small ant cannot stand much
cold" said a man who lives uptown,
but the idea is entirely wrong. There
may have been a time when the ant
could not endure low temperatures,
but that time has passed, if it ever
existed.
The fact is that the ant seems to
rather like the cold, if l may Judge
from experience at my own home.
They have for some time been in the
habit of making the icebox their head
cuaters. They simply live there. 1t
IL the one favorite spot with them.
Nor are they the least bit inclined to
shun the ice. Up to very recently
had thought that the ant was in the
habit of burrowing deep into the
ground in order to escape the rigors of
the winter. But there is nothing in
this old idea. 1t may be due to the ex-
igencies Of the struggle for existence,
one of the things necessary in the
ceaseless fight for life. But, whatever
the cause of it, you can put the ant
down as being able to stand more
cold than the average human being. -

Good BREEDING Stock.

Very few men can make money out
OF hogs II they have poor breeding
stock. It may be that here and there
man can raise scrubs and make
money out of them, but it has to be
under conditions where the feed costs
practically nothing. That is not the
circumstances under which most OF
our readers are raising swine. With
them the competition with other
breeders is strong, and feed has to be
purchased often at very high price,
This high-priced feed must be put into
an animal that, can make the most
possible out of it in a short time, and
this is the reason why good breeding
STOCK only is safe for the farmer on
high-priced land. Then the farmer
must have good breeding swine be
cause he wants animals that will give
him numerous progeny. It IS safe tc
buy sows from men that make a bust
ness of breeding and who consequent
ly feed their animals in a way to give
them both strong bone and muscle
Such animals have vitality and tend
to produce a large number OF pigs
rather than the small filters that
some are in the habit of bringing
forth every year. 1t is no easy mat
ter to secure the kind of stock a man
needs: A good many herds will need
to be looked over before the purchas
es are made. The good animals will
cost considerably more than the poo1
ones, but, for the foundation of herd
the expensive ones are likely to prove
the cheapest in the long run.
