Blackberry PIantatto Il.

A blackberry plantation if properly
cared for, cultivated and fortified
will produce profitable crops for 70 or
is years without resetting. One
great advantage of the blackberry is
that this fruit is one that does not
have to- come, in competition with a
southern grown supply as is the case
with strawberries and some other
kinds. The markets. are often flood
ed for weeks or months with south
ern grown fruit before the home
grown has had time to mature. This
is condition that the blackberry does
not have to meet.

MENACE K OF CRASHED BEEF
Very Fine Herds, Of Cattle Are Pro
duced In Argentina Without Mouth
IS full of Grain.

Professor Herbert w. Mumford, who
spent six months of last, year investi.
eating cattle conditions in Argentina,
S. IA, says that very fine herds of cat
tie are produced in Argentina without
mouthful of grain. These cattlesa
fed simply grass and alfalfa and were
never in stable. *
He saw breeding cattle in extra fine
flesh on alfalfa pasture, one COW in
particular showing actual rolls of fat
on her rump, and yet she had never
tasted anything else but, alfalfa from
her birth.
Grass-fed mutton has gone from Ar.
gentina to London market too fat to
sell. On one ranch of 100000 acres
there are 1850 cattle, 10000 sheep
and 1000 horses-all market fat with:
out pound of grain. Most of the cat
tie country is fiat and level and the
climate is ideal for growing, as biz
Yards and severe weather are un.
known.
Argentina is real competitor of
the United States and has during the
past three years shipped considerable
more beef to Great Britain than has
our own country. The beef cant be de-
livcred in London from Argentina as
cheaply as it can from Chicago.
Our beef growers have not awak-
ened to the dangerous competition Of
the South American country, but the
facts are indisputable. Our great
ranges have practically disappeared
and new methods of beef raising are
coming into practice. But still better
methods must be adopted, else 1t will
be impossible for our farmers to raise
cattle probably on our high-priced
lands in competition with our south.

Thrifty Farmers Try to Keep Their

Plants are like animals in that they
must have food and drink or they soon
sicken and die. Animals can nose
about from place to place and secure
their food, but plants must get their
food and water by sending their roots
out through the soil.
The tiny roots which spread out
through the soil are busy all of the
time taking up water from the soil
for the use of the stalk and leaves
above. This water as it goes into the
plant through the roots carries with
