large cotton factories which are run
by water power furnished by a tur-

The water was shut on, the sluice

FattenIna CattIe In fhe South.

| attSUi19 AdIIiC WI AUG OOutUs
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 a 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 be easily and cheaply raised.
This is the view taken Of the matter
by some of the leading agriculturists
Of the South. AS a demonstration Of
the ability Of the southern states to
fatten and market cattle of high quail
ity the Louisiana station undertook
the growing of 16 Angus calves which
they purchased in November, 1901, In
Illinois and immunized against the
Texas fever. The calves we're Their
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
beeYes 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 1t 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 1t was supposed that no live stock
industry could thrive below certain
badly defined line. II the South goes
into stock raising, new day will
have dawned there, and agriculture
in the South will receive new i'm.

TeRta with Oats.

The Farm Crops Department Of the
Iowa Agricultural College is making
a test on the College farm Of 20 Of
the leading varieties Of oats. In add.
ton to the test, Prof. w. H. Olin Of
this Department, has arranged with
Mr.. A. e. Cook Of the Brookmont
Farm, odebolt, Iowa, for co-opera.
tive test on large scale Of three OF
the varieties OF oats best adapted to
Iowa conditions. Six hundred acres
have been seeded to oats on the
Brookmont Farm for this experiment.
One variety has been selected as the
best oats for feeding horses and as
a heavy yielder. A second variety
has been selected to meet the de-
mands for a choice milling oats and
samples Of the crop will be submitted
to the great cat meal combination to
be tested for milling. A third variety
was sNsscted for good feeding quail
ties and high yields, 1t having shown
a yield Of 1O2 bushels per acre on
large fields. Prof. Olin will make 4
careful study of the habits Of growth
Of these varieties, their yield and
adaptation to Iowa soils; and win re-
port through press bulletins.

Pure.nred Cattle In Argentina.

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 a 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 1t raises the price Of Amer
ican 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-
traordinary efforts to improve the
quality of their cattle, as is evidenced
by the high prices they are paying
for good bulls. Frank w. Bicknell, a
special agent of the Department of
Agriculture of the United States. says
that the demand for Shorthorn bulls
is increasing at a great rate. There
is a better demand for young bulls OF
this breed than ever before. Every
ranchman is endeavoring to raise up
the standard of his herd. The aim is
to produce steers for export of such
fine 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.
fish quarantine against Argentine cat
tie has rather helped than hindered
the business, as 1t has determined the
Argentine farmers 70 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 were
sold, one for 1890 and the other for
$1,000. It is evident that our stock.
breeders have strong competitors to
face In the stockmen Of Argentina.

Jones tried them on to find they were
a bit too long.
He was sorry, he said to the sales
man. to cause so much trouble, but
those trousers were certainly too long
now.
The salesman was obliging and
promised to attend to the matter
Jones left.
Now 1t so happened, through an
error, that the trousers had not been
altered in the first place, but were the
same length as when Jones pro-
nounced them too short. This the
salesman knew, and he smiled slightly
as he wrote an order to shorten the
trousers and pinned 1t TO them.
But he did not send the garment to
the repair room. He merely kept the
pantaloons another day. and returned
them without alteration.
Jones found the order, tried them
on for the third time and pronounced
them absolutely correct.

Good Breeding Stock.


Very few men can make money out
OF hogs II they have poor breeding
stock. 1t may be that here and there
man can raise scrubs and make
money out of them, but 1t 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 .ieh price.
This high-priced feed must be put into
an animal that can make the most
possible out of 1t in short time, and
this is the reason why good breeding
stock only is safe for the farmer on
higli-priced land. Then the farmer
must have good breeding swine be-
cause he wants animals that will give
him numerous progeny. 1t is safe to
buy sows from men that make bust.
ness Of breeding and who consequent.
ly feed their animals in 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 poor
ones, but, for the foundation of herd,
the expensive ones are likely to prove
the cheapest In the long run.

Spraying a preventlve, Not a cure.

The man that believes in spraying
should spray whether there seems the
least call for 1t or not. Spraying does
not make up for losses already sus-
tanned from the attacks Of fungi or
insects. 1t will not cause new leaves
to grow where the old ones have
been eaten of, and 1t will not cause
the fruit to improve after 1t has been
shrunken by reason of being deprived
of food that the leaves failed to elab-
crate, they having been destroyed by
either insects or fungi. Some Of our
most enterprising horticulturists have
accomplished wonders by simply
spraying, on the principle that they
would thus insure themselves against
the presence of their enemies in the
fruit orchard. Their trees have re-
sponded remarkably-so well indeed
that they have been led to believe hat
previously their trees were assailed
far more seriously by insects and fun
gous pests than had been supposed.
There is no other way to spray sue.
cessfully The man that does not
spray till the leaves Of his trees are
eaten up by insects, or till they have
turned brown from the attacks Of
fungi, will pronounce spraying to be
a failure.
