LIVE STOCK AND
SOIL FERTILITY.

Almost without exception we find the
highest type of agriculture in localities
where live stock husbandry is being prac-
ticed; however, it is not correct to say
that fertility cannot be maintained with
out live stock.
1t is not fertility alone that live stock
feeding brings to the farm, but organic
matter which their presence brings to
the soil. In addition to the humus and
plant food. contained in stable manure
there are present certain bacteria that
assist in the work of making the plant
food contained in the manure available
to the plants. After completing the work
Of making the plant food in the manure
available to the plants they sieze ,pon
the organic nitrogen of the soil and CON
tinue their work of nitriication as long
as the conditions are favorable.
This explains why small application
of manure to certain soils will produce
results far beyond the actual fertilizing
value of the manure that is used. An
other point in favor of live stock grow
ing and feeding is the fact that all ra-
tional plans for maintaining the fertility
of the soil depend upon growing crops
in the rotation that are adapted for ami
NAL feeding.
There are many live Stock growers and
feeders who are not keeping up the pro-
ductive qualities of their soils even with
all of the manure they are making By
proper cultivation and care a small
amount of manure goes a long ways to-
ward maintaining soil fertility.

THOUGHTS FOR BEGINNERS.

[ am writing this article because [
have come across many so-called breed
ers Of pure-bred stock who have no we'll
defined idea as to what constitutes a
frst-class animal, and how are such men
to make any progress when they have no
mark to which they are aiming? Besides,
such breeders can not do justice to
their customers who order stock by mail,
as when a top animal is ordered they
do not know whether they are shipping
such an animal or not The study of
blood lines, mating and caring for ami
mails is lifetime business and, I be-
lieve, should not be undertaken by those
who are not willing to put time and
thought into their work. Haphazard
work along this line means retrogression
of breed, financial loss and disappoint-
ment to the breeder and dissatisfaction
of customers.
To the young farmer who would de-
vote his life to this fascinating line of
work I would say: Study the breed you
consider best fitted to your taste; go
to the leading stock shows of the country
and study animal form there; go to
some breeder who has been student of
pedigree for years and give heed to what
he has to say concerning blood lines; !;
look carefully to the matter of feeding
and care; then put the money you ex-
pect to spend on three or four animals
into one animal that some good breeder

TONIC FOR SHEEP.

A mixture of copperas, sulphur and
salt makes a good tonic for sheep, one
which many no doubt will need at this
season of the year. 1t tends to purify
the blood and to help the animal in it's
fight against worms and other trouble
some parasites. About six parts of salt
to one each of copperas or sulphur
makes the right proportion If this is
kept constantly before the sheep, inside
the barn, where moisture cannot reach
it, they will eat freely of it, and will
undoubtedly be greatly benefited by it.
1t seems to tone hp their condition
generally.

product Of agriculture. The hog has
been hailed for the past few years as
the mortgage LITTER but his activity
and success in that great role soon lost
him employment of that nature That
job soon ceased to exist AS we journey
across Our broad land to Our vision come
many storied buildings, great manufac-
turing plants, modern homes, big red
barns, costly edifces of worship, great
seats of learning, fertile acres mapped
out like gardens. Man is in full en-
joyment Of these things. Then there
are pleasure trips, summer vacations,
financial, political, social and literary
endeavorS, satisfaction and comfort in
life. It extends even to the preachers
salary. But a large proportion of this
prosperity is supported by high-class
hogs, roofing and eating back deep in
fields of alfalfa and clover
The hog has not only helped bring
about the present era of prosperity, with
freedom from debt, but he is mostly re-
sponsible for the recent greatly increas-
ed value of tillab1e lands and he will
continue to be a factor in supporting
their values. Corn was, for long time,
proclaimed as king, and alfalfa as queen
in their worlds, but after all measures
have been taken of their relative i'm
portance and dependence on others, they
become but servants to his majesty, the
hog.
Wherever mans footsteps may have
led him and whatever his occupation,
somewhere in his needs and uses is
some product of the hog. The con-
quering armies of the past and present
nations of commerce and diplomacy are
ever strongly developed and fortified by
the products of agriculture. These give
the height and power to the minds and
arms that conquer all obstacles. To the
hog, through his many products we
must give much credit for all that which
we have been have done and are doing,
and we must concede, that he will be
leading factor in our future progress"

STOCK NOTES.

Do not crowd your young stock un-
naturally.
Put the broody sows in a pen by them
selves.
It is best to test the milk for butter
fat once in each month.
Don't mix the morning and night milk
unless both are quite cool.
There is no liquid that will absorb
odors more quickly than warm milk.
The animal that pays the best is bound
to be in evidence as dairymen become
better informed.

recommends as the prospect for a great
breeding animal; build up your herd or
flock from this foundation, and if you
continue to study, all your life, culling
out the mishts as they appear-as they
always do,-you will be quite likely to
leave to your boys business that will
afford them both profit and satisfaction.

CATTLE PAY IN FLORIDA.

Ira J. Sanborn, of the extensive naval
stores firm of Sanborn Brothers, in COM

d1d not know of any business that prom

than cattle raising.
lh1s is not the opinion of an inexper-
fenced enthusiast, but the real truth
from man who is extensively in the
business and who depends upon it as
one OF his biggest sources of revenue.
How many cattle do you keep" we
asked.

DO you believe that the beef breeds
of the west could be grown pro6tably? ?"

with us it is comparatively mex

us nothing. During about three months

thus brought to fine condition for beef

DO you have any trouble in the dis
position Of your catt1e?"
"None whatever. There is local de-

WHERE THE PROFIT IS.

Most of the profit in hogs, excepting
from breeding sows is made by fatten-
ing them when they are six or seven
months old. If kept growing without
check until this time they ought to weigh
225 pounds or more. It pays better than
to feed an extra year, even though the
weight is doubled in that time. The
pork pig sells quickest and highest.
Breeding sows may be kept so long as
they produce two good litters a year,
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-06-01

For many years hogs were regarded
as a by-product of the farm, but today
they are one of the main income pro-
ducers in many sections Yet too often
they are cared for as though they were
still by-product of little account.
