SOUTHERN FEEDS FOR CATTLE
A Iouisianian's Experience in Feed
ing Cattle and Fattenfng
Calves.

Prof. W. C.. Stubs, of Louisa
makes the following statement of he
he fed and fattened calves:
These cattle were purchased IS
calves in central Illinois, transportel
to the station, immunized from Texas
fever and developed and fattened ex-
clusively upon southern products.
They have been allowed the run of
our pastures, consisting mainly of Ber-
muda. lespedeza, paspalums, and in
some instances upon red and crimson
clover. and have been fed in addition
upon molasses, rice bran and cotton
seed meal They will now average
between 1900 and 1,400 pounds, and
are a little over two years old. At
least six to eight weeks were spent in
complete immunization. During this
time they gained little or nothing.
They are now in fine condition. and
will be gradually improved and made
ready for the international show at
Chicago the coming winter, where we
expect to have them exhibited and
sold. The experiment was made for
the purpose of demonstrating to the
people at home and to the western
men seeking our country that good
beef cattle can here be grown and
fattened for the market upon our
southern products easier and cheaper
than in the west. These experiments
have clearly demonstrated this. Mo
lasses is now worth with US from three
to five cents a gallon of IL pounds,
rice bran from SO to sl3 per ton, and
cottonseed meal from $50 to SIS per
ton. BY combination of these feeds
well-balanced ration can be obtained,
and this experiment has demonstrated
its utility in feeding and fattening live
stock. "-Farm and Ranch

POOR WHITES NEW HELP.
Bishop Nelson Purposes Going TO
Their Aid in Georgia, Where
81 Per Cent. Are Illiterate.

The movement to educate the poor
whites of the south, which has been
under way for some time in Tennessee
and western North Carolina, has never
made much Roadway in Georgia. An
effort is now being made in that state,
however, to put Georgia abreast OF 9TH
er southern states in this important
field of educational work.
OF the PIT counties in the Union
where ignorance among the population
is densest and most widely pervading.
Georgia has ~, and In them the pro-
portion of white illiterates of voting
age is 80 pei cent.
With all the money that has been
expended for education of the negroes
in the south, only a comparatively
small sum has been contributed for the
education of these unfortunte whites,
known as white trash, whose lgno-
rance and helplessness is one OF the
most melancholy spectacles seen by the
traveller in the southern states. Blsh-
CD Nelson, of the Protestant Episcopal
church. is now trying to raise enough
money to establish schools throughout
the state for the children of these poor
whites. to give them an opportunity
to make something better out OF their
lives than the automotic, shiftless ex-
istence of their fathers.
There are in Georgia $4,000 children
of school age. and of these only 3l3 ,ooo
are provided with school facilities,
leaving more than half million to
grow up in ignorance. unless something
is done to change the present state of
affairs.
This is precisely what Bishop Nelson
Is trying to 90. 1t is his aim to nave
all the children of the poor whites pro-
yided with schools which will not only
teach them to read, write and cipher,
hut which will teach them something
of the rudiments Of domestic science
as well--sewing, cooking and the fun
damentals of a well-orders.. cleanly
home life. The poor whites OF the
south know little more about these
things than do the RED Indians.

Horses should be raised for quality

BEST BREED FOR THE SOUTH.
A Problem Worth Consideration by
the Live stock Raisers of
TIE South.

With the increasing interest in the
southern states relative to the live
stock business, there is demand for
improved live stock. While largely
concerning cattle, probably, still there
is marked interest being taken in hogs.
and even sheep. The problem is wheth-
er or not there are any breeds that
will meet the demands of the south bet
ter than others.
In a late communication to the pa
per Rush C. Watkins, vice-president
and traffic manager of the Central I'm
ion stock yards at Louisville, KY,
asks: What is the best breed OF cat
tie hogs and sheep to raise in Ken
lucky and the southern states? Why?'
Following this query, Mr.. Watkins
adds that this subject should be dis
cussed without any attempt to adver-
tise any particular breed, but to give
the particulars regarding to qualities
of each breed In other words, deal
only with the features of each that are
recognized generally as distinctly
theirs as fitting them for southern con-
ditions. There are certain qualities
possessed by leading breeds that make
all-valuable, but still not to cause them
to be differentiated from other equally
good breeds.
Shorthorn cattle have long been a
feature of Kentucky. Later the Here
fort have been pushed in, and at pres
emit are making efforts to be the lead
ing breed of the gulf states. Berk-
shire hogs in the choicest quality have
been introduced successfully into
North Carolina. Possibly other sorts
of live stock have done equally we'll.

of the south will answer this question

tribute matter of much value to farm

The Korea did not have quite as ex-

went to Japan as on the previous trip,
although she passed through the war
zone. A few miles out from Yokoha-
ma a japanese war vessel hove in
sight and escorted the liner to Yoko-
hama, her first port of call, an officer
boarding the vessel and plotting her in
and out of the harbor, preceded by a
torpedo boat. This service is render
ed by the japanese to all neutral ship
ping as a protection against the mines
which have been moored at the en-
trance to the principal harbors The
Korea did not have the same expert
ence as on her last voyage to Japan
when, failing to respond to the signal
of Japanese gunboat to heaye to, she
was fired at first with blank and then
with Tive shell. Captain Seabury
will probably in later years tell the
story of how the Korea showed her
heels to the Jap cruisers on that occa-
sion.
