SOUTH AFRICAN HORSES.
Nine-Tenths Of the Animals That
Are Now Sold Are Raised
~ by Ka@rs. US

South Africa is foreseen as achiev-
ing It's destiny by becoming one Of the
great horse producing countries OF the
world. At the present time the man
who would dabble In horse flesh needs
both experience and courage. The
Kahirs provide nine-tenths Of the
horses sold. When . dealer arrives
in q native territory he sends round
word that he has come to purchase
horses and the natives roll up with
all sorts and descriptions Of the equi-
nine tribe, which for the most part
are Of no earthly use. The man picks
out an animal and the owner names
an exorbitant price, which he never
hopes to receive, the dealer Offering
a sum which no sane man could ac-
1cept. But eventually price is agreed
on and the owner receives written
order for the amount, which he re-
deems in the evening by coming to
the Dealers hotel and receiving cash.
BY easy stages descent is made on
the next purchasing site and by de-
grees decent sized troupe Is got to-
gether. When these arrive ut their
final destination their original owners
would not recognize them. They have
been clipped on the way down, had 4
few condition powders and had gem
eral cleaning.

THE SNOW LUILABY..

Wien all was dull and dark and sero
In country and in town
A song SO soft that none could hear
Was. gently waited down
A song that foated to the hill
Il And sighed across the plain
And soothed each fretfing, brawling rill
With its serene refrain.
It crept about the lonely tree
Which held an empty nest,
And murmured low the lullaby
That Gained the tree to rest;
1t beat across the meadows wide
k Where grasses incurred for June =
And all their rustling whispers died
Beneath its peaceful Groom.
1t sought the bare sweep Of the field,
The borders Of the wood
The shrubs that IN the breezes reelod
Now firm and sturdy stood:
It bade the sullen, leafess boughs
That their harsh tones must cease.
And over all. from fields to sloughs
1t scattered silent peace.
This was the song that had no sign
OF music nor Of word
Yet grass and shrub and oak and pine
And hill and valley heard.
Then came q wind that smoothed the snov
With drowsy pat and sweep
And whispered. In the moonlight's glow:
THE world has gone to Sleep"

Farmer Poor.

It has beer raining steadily all day,
and while l am housed up l am read
ing some, writing little, posting my
books and planning for the campaign
that is to follow all this bad weather.
Yes, the weather is bad, but stock are
all comfortably housed, and tools and
machinery under sheds. l could not
feel comfortable myself II any Of the
dumb brutes were exposed to this cold
rain. All farm operations are at a
stanGstill, as far as active work Is con-
cerned, but the wise farmer is plan
ming ahead for the coming season. 1t
is said that no other business could
stand the drawbacks that come to the
farmer and succeed. Well, maybe not,
but these bleak, wintry days are help
to many of us. We rest and recuperate,
both man and beast; we lay our plans,
read our agricultural papers, study the
bulletins, and in many ways fortify
ourselves for the busy season later on.
Are your tools and machinery un-
der shelter, good friend? i passed
good farm the other day and saw all
the tools scattered about the barn,
nothing under shelter except the wagon.
know of a reaper that has never
been sheltered since 1t was first set up.
Now, good friends, this is one draw
back that men farming can not stand.
Why will man buy costly machinery
ani leave 1t exposed to all kinds OF
weather? / can not answer that ques-
tfoa. and will leave 1t for my readers
to ponder over. Another thing can
not explain is why a man will leave his
cattle out all winter exposed to, the
weather. Some time since passed a
farm ard saw a few poor cows stand
.ag shivering In the cold, trying to eat
whaa. straw. Not a shelter, nor the
sign Of other feed, and the men expect
ed these cows to give milk. | once
knew a man who did not have stable
for his morse. He kept him tied to
tree ir the yard.
Mr.. Editor, do !. expect to start
any great reform movement by writ
ing about these things? Hardly,
because the people who do these things
do not read your paper, nor any other
farm paper. They are the folks who
know more about farming. stock-rais-
ing and all kindred questions than all
the farm papers combined. They are
elso the folks who give chattel mort
cages for supplies. Good friend, il you
should see this by courtesy Of the ed
i:or In sending you a sample copy, let
me make one or two suggestion. First,
subscribe for the paper and read It ev--
cry week same as you do your Bible,
or maybe little "samer." and as soon
as you subscribe for the paper get out
and make shelter for those poor cows,
then gather up the tools and put them
under shelter, and don't forget piggy
and leave him out In the rain and
snow. Then proceed to get wrathy at
ne for telling you about it.-E. s. Mif-

Growing Small Fruits.


The small fruit grower who likes
Strawberries should get enough plants
to start growing them for himself.
When the plants for field setting are
grown at home there Is not so much
danger Of their doing poorly. The
homegrown sets can be taken up
with plenty of earth about the roots,
and Immediately set in the field, which
prevents them from drying out so
easily. Plants shipped from a distance
are very delicate, but sufficient num-
Der can be coaxed to thrive SO that in
season enough new sets to plant q
large patch will form. When putting
out plants see that they are not set too
deep nor too shallow; and after set,
ting, draw the earth up around them
loosely with hoe to form sort Of
mulch that will hold the moisture.
Keep down weeds and grass and culti-
vate well. Before planting see that
the earth is well pulverized and in good
condition Rich, black land, well
drained, is good for Strawberries

wouldn't Do Nowadays.


Mr.. John Gillett, one Of the most
extensive of the early-day cattle feed
ers Of Illinois, said: Give cattle plenty
Of corn, plenty Of water and plenty Of
grass, II you want to make top CATTLE .
But he lived in the day Of 2O-cent
corn, cheap, rich grazing land. and
three and four-year-old cattle. Were
he alive to-day he would hardly want
to do business after that fashion to-
day, with farms in that section at $50
per acre. and corn bringing so cents.
The shoveling out of 6O-cent corn ON
the pastures of the south won't do.
We must use the best rough feeds, such
as ensilage, early cut clover, and pea
vine hay and corn-fodder as largely al
possible in our feeding operations. Then
supplement these with home grown
grains reduced to the most palatable
form-giving preference, when possible,
to feeds rich in protein and thus add
plant food value to our manure piles.

The south is In the throeS OF a Won
derful and bewildering prosperity. II
comes from the combination Of favor
ing seasons and high-priced cotton. II
i has been estimated that the cotton crop
! Of this year will bring to the south.
ern farmers $3.50, ,0Oo, 900. It is an In
conceivable amount. Its evidence ID
seen on all sides in new houses, new
stores, whole streets Of new stores, in
cotton fields stretched wide, in cotton
fields up clear to the stores of the vii
lages, in Gotten patches in vacant town
lots. It is an era of cotton planting.
It may be news to northern folk that
the south is now producing several
times as much cotton as it did at the
beginning of the civil war, that it Is
producing many times as much wealth
as in other commodities Probably ten
times as much wealth Is now being
produced in the south as couple OF
decades ago. AS q whole, 1t Is not an
old and worn-out land; 1t is land
beaming with hope, awakening to its
realization of powers heretofore un-
known and unsuspected.
And yet there is whispering OF fear
among the most thoughtful southern
men. Is this high-priced cotton surely
good thing? Will it end in terrible
depletion of soil and greater impover-
ishment Of the people? 1t all depends.
no doubt upon the wisdom Of the in-
dividual. II he unwisely strains every
nerve to plant all his land in cotton
and only cotton, II he spends his in
come lavishly, he may awaken to six
cent cotton, no money in the bank and
wasted fields. That IS the serious dam
ger of the situation.
But there are great many mtelli-
gent and thoughtful men in the south
who are reaching out for better things,
who are seeking to build well and from
the foundation. They are seeking to
grow legumes between cotton crops, to
diversity, to build silos, to husband
resources They are advantages OF
great note. The cowpea is Cod

the agricultural. experiment stations
throughout the country.
Most extensive work along this line
In connection with hogs has just been
concluded by the department Of ami
NAL husbandry, Of the Texas agricul-
tural experiment station. A summary
OF the results from these experiments
shows:
!. A comparison Of the results OF
this experiment with those Of other
stations at which cotton-seed meal was
fed in the ordinary way indicates that
cotton-seed meal may be used in
larger quantities and for. longer peri
DDS when fermented and fed in slop.
2. The reports Of feeders who have
used cotton-seed meal for hogs indi-
cate that q light feed of cotton-seed
meal may be continued indefinitely.
and that the consumption of green feed
lessons the danger of death from feed
ing 1t.
3. In this trial the hogs were yard
fed during the hot summer season,
consequently SACy WSlS uuUSE COuOla
tions making the trial as severe as pos
sible. Under such conditions fer
menting cotton-seed meal does not en-
tirely remove its injurious effects when
fed to hogs.
4. The results of this experiment
show that for the first forty three days
Of the feeding the mixture containing
cotton-seed meal and corn gave larger
and cheaper gains than the straight
corn ration, while during the second
period Of forty days the results were
reversed. This leads to the suggestion
that to improve corn ration it would
be advisable to add cotton-seed meal
to it for about forty days, preferably
for other reasons also. during the last
forty days of feeding.
5. The hogs that received cotton
seed meal as q part of their ration in
this trial showed less fat and more
lean meat in the carcass.
6. The carcasses Of the hogs that ro-
5ceived cotton-seed meal, contrary to
the previously expressed opinion of the
packers, were firmer and therefore
more acceptable to them than those Of
the corn-fed hogs. Southern Agricul-
