Before leaving for st. Louis last
week, Gov. Vardaman issued a
proclamation offering a reward of
$3.50 for the arrest and conviction
of c negro named Will Edison, who
is wanted in Montgomery county on
the charge of committing a criminal
assault. Edison has been at large
for two weeks and no tangible clew
to his whereabouts has been secured

Some interesting Comparisons.

President J. C. Hardy, of the Ag-
r%icultural and Mechanical College,
has furnished some very interesting
data in regard to a comparison be-
tween white and negro labor in Mis-
sissippi. In comparing a white
county with a black county, the
white M produces twice as much
cotton, although the black one was
the more fertile. In Kinds county,
where the negroes outnumber the
whites by three to one, it requires
two and one-half acres to make a
bale, while Perry county, with two
whites to one negro, less than two
acre make a bale. Kinds county
farm lands are worth three times as
much as those in Perry. Many other
such comparisons bring out the fact
that white labor is far better in this
State.

Breeding and
FatteninG Cattle

The practice of dehorning animals
ti,at are to be put into feed yards has
come largely into vogue during the
last ten or fifteen years. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that, all things consid-
cred, it Is much more humane to de-
horn than IL is to allow horned animals
10 run in the yards together, says Iowa
Homestead. While the practice is COM
mendable, 1t is the opinion of n num-
Der of feeders with whom we have dis
cussed the matter recently that it has
been carried II little too far.
When all animals that are put into
feed yards are dehorned the tendency
is for them to bunch together too
much during fly time. In this way ami
mails become too warm and conSe-
qucntly Will not make the gains that
they otherwise would il they could be
kept scattered. Their object, of course,
in punching together is to lessen the
agony caused by flies. Another disad-
vantage OF close punching Is that 1t
frequently results in tramping out the
grass and destroying the sod.
Those who have tried it find that by
leaving horns on n few OF their feed
ers animals will thrive much better.
Some prefer one animal in every half
dozen horned while Others claim that
one in a dozen or fifteen is plenty to
keep them from punching. There Is no
question but that there Is something
in this theory, and we offer it as u sug
gestion at this time sc that those who
are raising animals extensively for
block may be benefited thereby.

Dried blood For Calves.
The Kansas experiment station i'll
reporting upon feeding dried blood as
n preventive of scours says:
Dried blood is not only good for Il
weak calf, but is an excellent remedy
for any calf subject to scours With
the seventy head of young calves I'M
der experiment at the Kansas station
during the past year there has not
been a single case Of scours that dried
blood has failed to check.
"In feeding dried blood n teaspoon
full at q feed is n great plenty. This
should be continued until the scours
disappear. In case of a weak calf the
allowance may be gradually increased
to q tablespoonful at n feed"
To prevent the dried blood from set
Ting to he bottom of the pail, where
the calf will be unable to get 1t, it may
be stirred in the milk while the calf Is
drinking, or the milk and blood may be
fed immediately after being thorough
ly mixed.
"Since dried blood is such a cheap
and effective remedy, it will pay any
one who raises young calves by hand
to have q little available whenever q
calf shows signs Of disorders in its di-
gestive tract"
Baby Beef Production.
When feeding for baby beef, the
feeder can use mixed bred calves that
have been raised on creamery skim milk
and whole milk. 1t is q saving to vac.
cinate the calves early so as to prevent
blackleg.
Feed the calves twice daily, morning
and evening. Feed In lots 4. the same
order each time and exactly at the
same time each day. The hours Of
feeding should be arranged 30 that the
calves will do all the work Of eating in
daylight. Feed them what grain and
roughage they will eat up clean within
three hours after feeding. Mix the
grain with the roughage and feed
whole. Keep salt in boxes under the
sheds where the calves can have free
access at all times. The calves can be
sheltered with q common board shed,
closed on the north and open on the
south side.
Water should be supplied in tanks
regulated by float valves so that the
tanks are kept full and the calves can
drink at will. If the weather is cold,
1T Is best to keep Il tank heater going
In each a n so as to keep the water
at q temperature of about 40 Degrees

TubercuIin Test.
A foreign paper presents statistics to
show that out OF 4I,GSS animals i'm
ported from Denmark into Germany
9,OG8 which passed the tuberculin test
were found to be diseased when slaugh-
tered. This means that the tuberculin
test was totally unreliable, for in over
20 per cent of the cases 1t failed to de-
.tect the disease. Such figures are open
to grave doubt, says Stockman and
Farmer. In competent hands the test
has not shown any such percentage of
error Ii this country. In fact, it has
failed in few cases. The chief failure
of the test Is that 1t makes no distinc-
t'on between encysted and harmless
bodies of tubercular matter and active
and dangerous ones.
