Look South for Relief

The possibilities of the south, par ticularly the state of Alabama, to re- lieve the serious situation caused by the high price of beef Is discussed in a paper issued by the department of agriculture today. The paper is the work of MT. Ward of the bureau of animal industry and Professor Gray of the Alabama agricultural experiment station.
 The work is the result of several years of cooperative experiments be- tween this bureau and the Alabama ex- pertinent station, the main object of which was to test the possibilities of that section, and of the south general ly, in regard to beef production from native stock
 The outcome of the summer feeding experiments indicate that beef animals can be very profitably prepared for market in the south The natural ad- vantages for cattle raising which the southern states undoubtedly possess, especially in the tick-free portions, seem to present a powerful argument both for the eradication of the tick and for the rapid extension of the beef cattle industry by southern farmers. These considerations acquire additional force at the present time because of the long continued scarcity and high prices of beef.
 Important Problem
 ITO work out the economy of beef raising in this territory Is one of the most pressing animal husbandry prob lems of the day. says the report. The south," 1t is added, furnishes the solu ton. There is an absolute necessity for the country to increase its beef sup ply. No more striking fact is shown by the statistics of the industry dur ing recent years than the decrease in the supply of beef In the United States. Beef cattle appear to be decreasing in actual numbers and much of the land formerly devoted to beef raising and fattening Is being used for other pur- poses. As a consequence beef Is high and is going higher, the amount of beef exported is falling off and unless some relief appears beef will eventually become luxury"
 With only 40 per cent, for instance, of the land of Alabama occupied, the paper shows that the land Is there to be used. With the tick extermination work progressing so satisfactorily the only serious obstacle to the industry in the south, Is being removed
 Senator Johnston of Alabama gives prompt denial to the report that he will vote against Canadian reciprocity. The senator considers the agreement enough of a democratic step forward to command his support and If the op- portunity affords itself he will so vote-

How Swifts Spend tho Nicht.

A recent observer has noticed that at
Gibraltar the swifts may be seen flying
up to 1890 at night and reappearing
at daylight. Where do they spend the
short interval? 1t is suggested that
they spend the night in the air Many
them say that some time during the
evening they ascend into the upper air
until they are lost to view. 1t is be-
lieved that they spend the night in
the higher regions Of the atmosphere
and descend again in the morning.
Long ago Gilbert White observed that
the swifts performed almost every &C.
ton of life on the wing. Do they even
sleep in the air?-London Globe,
