2. 1t means utilizing a by-product
which is largely wasted to-day-a
first-class Bermuda and blue grass
pasture.
He can let his calves run in the
pastures with short time feeding in
winter. They can live on this grass
for six months and be finished on
corn and corn stover for sixty days.
By saving every pound of manure in
that first winter and fall he can in
crease until he can turn off twenty
head of cattle each Christmas and as
many hogs-saving most of the lat
ter for his own meat
I am more clearly and forcibly
reminded of the truth of the above
proposition by looking over the Chi
cago market reports of last week.
When We see range cattle selling for
from 81 to 1888 per hundred pounds
and hogs at the same price. Now
add 40 to SO per cent to these prices
paid for stock on foot and you will
at once see what the Chicago meat
trust, so-called by few daily papers,
is obliged to sell its meat products
for to 1--WE" people of the South, plus
cost Of refrigerating, railroad freight
and cost of handling. No first-class
meat can be sold in the South at
less than 10 to Is cents per pound.
Now add 40 or so per cent to this
for the retailer and then see where
you are. See how soon, with your
own meat, you will save $500 per
year.
But grapes do not grow on this
ties or pigs on the thorn, to para
phrase. You must have good stock
to do anything. Tou must first knock
in the head every scrub bull In the
South, this is the very first thing
to do. Don't wait until you can
afford" fine animal, but do this.
Save your section from degenerate
posterity, and then you will be sur
prised with many male in the sec
ton, how SO and SOS fine Shorthorn
bull will make his appearance. Even
IL half dozen neighbors have TO
chip in $40 or $25 each to buy one,
one will care for the ordinary neigh
borhood. A scrubs posterity is loss
of time.
/ say Shorthorn-because, while
believe the Hereford the better
grassers, and will fit in our section
often best, yet for making time we
want COW that will give us a beef
steer, or heifer to furnish future
mixers. No breed will fit so we'll as
a great improvement over our scrub
cows as Shorthorn. The Polled An
gus are fine with good pastures and
plenty OF grains to finish Even the
Red Poll is better than the scrub, but
an can be improved by the Short
horn, and all OF this can be done
to-day north of the quarantine limo.
Some ten years ago | personally
talked with Secretary Wilson, and
proved to him the value of, and re-
ceived his promise to assist in re.
moving, the quarantine line. Last
week two car loads OF cattle were
shipped from our neighboring States,
one north of the quarantine line,
and one south. The first sold for Ia
cents per pound more, or about SIS
per head. So much for the first
step-let the next one follows nv

DOUBLE MISSoURrS WEALTH.

Missouri is evidently only about hall
as rich as she should be. Farming is
! the greatest occupation of the state
and according to Dean F. T.. MumforG
of the College of Agriculture. the Weld
from the farms of the state is little
more than half what it should be, or
what it could be made.
II there is lack of scientific farm
ing over the state, and if the farms
where such methods have been tried
have increased their yield, then it is
the farmers own fault that their land
is not so productive as it should be
The experiments carried on in differ
ent parts of the state according to the
methods of the College of Agriculture
have proved that scientific farming is
the right sort for Missouri.
The farmers are coming to this real
iZation more and more each wear
Those who use the methods are still
in the minority, but they will not be
much longer, from all indications.
Missouri soil is as productive as that
OF any other state 1t can be made
more so by the use of modern farm
ing methods. Why should farmer be
satisfied with the yield of his land af
ter it has been proved that the weld
can be increased from 30 to leo per
cent?

Fraternities Costly and Exclusive.

Fraternity and sorority rule of the
social life at Northwestern Universit,
is to be curhed through Joint action
OF the university faculty and the fra
ternity alumni board of the institr

complaints for some time that the ey.
Penses of belonging to fraternitfes or
sororities is too high for the averag,
student. and that unless pledged |,
one organization of the kind the st,,-
dent Is left out of the social life %

The faculty and members of tha
alumni board propose that instead of
formal parties being given by each Of
the nine chapters OF national fraterni.
ties, three local fraternities and four-
teen chapters of national sororities. all
shall combine and be divided into
groups and that each group give a
formal party. in which students who
do not belong to Greek letter societies
shall be recognized upon an equal
basis with members.

view. Some persons make a close
study OF the situations around which

know only that there are candidates
in the field, and that the contest be-
tween them will prove interesting be-
cause it is an election.
In the third place, Americans watch
the situation because it concerns Eng
lish people. The election is going on
in the home of our forefa1hers. We
speak their language. and get from
them most our institutions. Naturally.
We are interested in anything which

KNOW WHAT YOU WILL TAKE

II is time to begin planning your
work for the second semester. You
have worked your way through Cne
half OF the year Are you satisfied
with the schedule You have carried !?
Is there not some other study you
would rather have taken than one OF
those yCu soon will be examined ino
Many students make the mistake CT
planning their work after their study
cards are in their hands. As a result.
they wish afterward that they had
taken different course. Few per
sons get the advantage OF two col
iege courses 1t is too late to do
things differently after they are out
OF school. Each person should keep
in mind the studies that will be of
use TO him in the work he expects
TO undertake. The selection of his
Work, even for one semester, is not
matter than can be decided best in
the few hours one has in which to
fill out and return his card. He
should know before he begins what
he wants. There should be no study
in his course that he is taking simply |
TO have the required number OF hours. |
Unless he is interested in his work !
and can expect it to be of advantage !
to him later, he is wasting his time
by taking it. In a university, with
all its branches of study, there is
enough work that will appeal 10 a
student without his having to pursue
subjects merely for credit toward a
degree.

THE moMoToNY OF DAILY LIFE

Because men often find the duties
OF one day similar to the duties of
preceding days they speak of life as
monotonous. For them the days con-
tinue to come with dull uniformity. an
irksOme sameness without variety.
But from the very nature OF things.
taking into consideration the various
and multifold combinations which
duties connected with any phase of
work may assume, one day is not like
another. Just as the careful observer
of nature fails to find in the whole
plant kingdom any two blades OF
grass or any two leaves on the trees
exactly alike, so the careful observer
at his work finds that no two days are
alike.
The man who is in love with his
work will not complain of monotony.
He does not look forward to the DAYS
and the weeks before him to see how
much like the present they will be
He takes care of the present knowing
the future will take care of itselc.
Every day furnishes him some oppor-
tunity for the accomplishment of
purpose in his work. The grasping of |
such opportunity and the turning OF |!
it to good occount give him a hold
upon life and cause him to enjoy that
