HOE NOT HARMFUL TO TEXAS
"Jlm" caIIan, Well Known Cattle

Jim" Callan, now ex-president of

life. does not believe that the man
with the hoe is hurting Texas, says
the Texas Stockman and Farmer.

MORE HORSE POWER NEEDED
More Economical Feeding Of Work
Stock on Southern Farms OF
Primary Importance.
By 8. A. knapp

To use more horse power and less
man power per acre or to quit farm
ing is a necessity confronting the
south.
There should be more mares ON the
farm. In the future few small farm.
ers will find 1t profitable to keep
mules; the colts must pay for the ex.
pense Of using more horse power. In
this connection, the more economical
feeding of work stock on the farm ID

horse or mule on pulled corn fodder

date that II Is surprising to ind any.
one doing II. Farmers have fully
proved that pasture for summer and
well-cured hay for winter should be
the main reliance. BY a pasture ia
not meant a brush patch or a field Of
weeds. but a tract of land we'll set IN
nutritious grasses and well located 30
as to be able to be disable at all times.
The best results are obtained by
providing two pastures, In order to al
ternate In their use, and especially to
allow one to have quite q growth Of
grass for late fall feeding. Some
farmers use one pasture for late fall
and spring. and the other during the
summer and early fall months; others
believe that the best results are OBJ
tanned by alternating the use Of these
pastures every month. It is Just as
injurious to the rapid growth OF grass
to keep 1t closely grazed az It would
be to bush to cut It on every morn
ing. 1t is estimated that three or four
times as many animals can be kept
on a given number Of acres by divid-
ing the land into two pastures and
using them alternately for grazing. 1t
is certain that the stock does better
under such conditions.

Practical Farmers.

Many men boast OF being practical"

horse plows, buy ready-mixed fertfl-

men are the men who make the most
successful practicable men who OBJ

farms at the least expense and at the
same time increase the fertility Of
their soil.

Belgian Horse Breeding.

"The whole world appears to be de-
pendent for heavy horses for breeding
upon Belgium, where the business is
exceedingly profitable" states re.
cent report on the Belgian equine mar
ket, which further says that 1861
horses and colts were exported in one
year to Germany, 1884 to Luxem-
burg. 2.412 to France, 1910 to Holland,
1870 to the United States. 1919 to
Switzerland. 672 TO England, and 32s
to other countries. From Germany
many Of these animals were sold to
Austria, Russia. Denmark and Sweden
for breeding purposes, and 1t is very
probable that many Of those sold to
French and English BREEDERS found
their way to the United States and
Canada.

Taft Accept Offer of Steam Yacht Belonging 10
 Mining Man
(Iron Ore.)


 We read that President Taft has accepted a berth on the fine steam yacht -Alvina. the property of Mir. T. F. Cole of Duluth. Minn.. who very kindly offered it with his compliments for the use of the copper country committee. and the people of that section who are to entertain the pres ident next August, and for which oc- casion great preparations are now un- der way. The board of supervisors of Houghton county. with their usual lib- erality. has voted a round sum to be used to assist in preparing for the event, and 1t Is certain that Mir. Taft will long remember his visit to the copper country of the state of Michi- gan with feelings of the most pleas urable kind.
 It is eminently fitting that a prod uet of the copper country, and one of prominent figures in the copper world should provide the ship that is to car ry the president through the waters of the Great Lakes to the harbor in Houghton. Mr. Cole is the kind of man whom our president admires, he being one of the best examples Of American energy and a converter Of ores and metals from their original resting places to forms that make the world richer and gives place to thous- snds of men possessed of muscle and skill. in the task of transformations. MT. Cole was born in the copper coun- try the president of the United States is soon to visit. From 8 most humble beginning he has achieved a splendid success in the mining field. and with all his accomplishments and the praises that have been extended him he is still the same rugged boy. with the same kind heart that began in a most arduous manner. his life's work in the great field of industry with which he has so long been prominent ly associated. IL will be gratifying to MT. Cole and his many friends that the president of our wonderful coun- try vii accept the use of his ship. IL Is a good ship. with a good owner, and it will carry one of the best presi- dents the United States Of America ever knew. The boat IS a stauncn one. has duplicate engines in case Of accident, Mir.

The boat will make good time. will be well captainee, and it will have excellent a accommodations for the first gentle man of our land
 All are wishing the president a pleasant voyage, and those who know the boat and its owner will be sure he will enjoy this experience.
 There will be a great reception to Mir. Tan when he reaches Houghton. People are going from all portions or the upper peninsula 10 assure him of their friendship, political and other wise, and to shake him by the hands Nr.
