MULE MAN ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
FARMING nv NORTH WEST
MISSOURI.
IA NJ R, / COGOBIzG On LABOR
Magnificent Equipment Of the Farms
and the Up-to.Date Tools impress
Maury Countian-Nas Been Buying
Cavalry Horses for U. S.

John Fraser, the we'll known mule
and horse buyer, has returned from q
four months stay in Missouri where
he has been buying cavalry horses
for the United States government.
Mr.. Fraser talks most interestingly OF
his four months in the Northwest seq
ton of the Show Me- State.
Talk about having to show the
the people OF Missouri, why they
can show US when it comes to farm
ing and to economizing on the labor
problem" said Mr. Fraser
Il have never in my life ridden
over such magnificent agricultural
country as l saw in the Northern and
Northw estern section of Missouri.
And the people know how to farm.
The farmers save in labor. Their
places are all properly equipped and
they have the very latest machinery.
All of the blowing, the narrowing
the cultivating and the reapinS is
done with the farmer and laborers
riding, All of the machinery there is
ridden and labor saved
The farms are all splendidly equip
ped All have splendid barns and
water systems and every possible
convenience to save work and trouble.
And such crops | have never seen. Al
though they had a drouth that viii
cut the yield some the farmers are
now predicting yields of from sixty
to eighty bushel sof corn to the
acre."
Mr.. Fraser has been buying horses
for Uncle Sans soldier boys to tide.
He found plenty of them and during
the four months purchased more than
200. He bought horses from fifteen
to fifteen three of medium to heavy
weight They are all slow trotters.
None but bay, sorrell and black
horses were bought and the govern,
ment does not take any horses hav.
ing white above the eyes. The
horses were from three to seven years
old. He paid for horses of this type
from ninety to $3.50 each.
Another thing that impressed Mr..
Fraser was the fact that nearly all
of the farmers of that section used
mares to do their work The heavy
draft brood mare does nearly all OF
the work on the farm and is also
driven. Mr.. Fraser stated that when
the farmers drove TO town they hitch.
ed the colt to the side of its mother,
and when they went to the field they
took the colt with them and hitched
it near where the mother was work.
ing. 1t is froln these mares that the
far famed Missouri mule which is
brought to this county at an early
age and developed, is produced.
Enthusiastic as Mr.. Fraser was
over what he saw in the great West
ern State he said he was glad 10 get
back to Tennessee where he could
get biscuit and corn DODGERS.

In looking for a reason for the I'M

County Fair one need go no further
than the inside pages of the cata-
logue, and then add to thi sthe spec
ial numbers that will be put on at the
show.
In the first place the management
has steered clear of the rock that
has wrecked the interest of many
county fairs-cheap and disreputable
side shows. N this it is to be com
Imended. To have a successful fair,
one that will be of advantage, and
advance the proper spirit and ideas,
agricultural and stock raising, and
not cheap shows, must be supported.
/ OF coulse there must be d diversified
program, and who says we do not
have that? But the principal things
must be the substantials of the coun,
try.
Maury county is the very huh Of

RANCH At AMERICUS is
OBJECT OF INTEREST
Hundreds Of Cattle FattGnGd
There

Just beyond Muckalee Hill on the
splendid -Smithville highway
and within rifle shot of the city
of Americas is a model farm where
browse hundreds of fat cattle, huge
steers and COWS, that have been con-
verified from lean and hungry kline
to animals of present ample proper
tions.
The cattle, about 200 head are there
now, are fattened for market and very
.profitably 1t is really a cattle ranch,
and the spectacle as viewed from the
fine road running by this farm is one
of unusual interest.
The cattle are shipped to Americas
from points in South Georgia and
Florida, where they are bought up ut
nominal prices. In the pastures here
they are put upon feed Of cotton seed
meal and hulls, abundantly supplied
from a nearby cotton oil mill.
The COWS are fed abundantly, and
take on quick and rapid growth. With
In three weeks they are seal fat, and
eady for market. The beeves are
shipped principally to Jacksonville and
other Florida points, where a fine
price is paid for them.
AS carloads of the fattened cattle
are shipped from Americas other car
leads of lean ones accumulated down
on the Florida line are shipped in here
to take their places.
In this manner the pastures of the
Riley fatm are always filed with herds
of cattle, forming an interesting scene.
~he owners not only derive a good
revenue from the fattening process,
but the land is being made immensely
rich By having hundreds of cattle pas
tured upon it for months.
Probably 500 or 800 fine beeves
have been thus fattened in Americas
quite recently and shipped away to dis
tunt markets, and the infant industry
is a profitable one, indeed

WEATHER STILL SHY
AS REGARDS MOISTURE
Though Recent Rains Helped
Very Much

The rains that came Sunday a week
ago served to break what was almost
an unprecedented drouth at this time
of year locally The good effects
these rains are passing away however,
and the ground is becoming dry.
The rain referred to in the forego-
ing paragraph was the principal one
during the month of March. 1t was
not as heavy as it seemed, however,
as only 10 inches of rainfall was
recorded. The total rainfall for the
month was LA inches, which added
to the 81 inches. previously recorded,
makes a total of $40 inches since Jan
uary 1.
This still leaves a heavy deficit in
the moisture column for the present
year. Last years large deficit in
rainfall, taken with the decided
drouth that has been experienced dur
ing the first quarter of this year,
marks weather that has been very
"prohibitiye," meterologically speak
ing.
The maximum temperature for the
month was So degrees, while the min
imum was 81. A temperature Of
freezing was recorded on another date.

minimum temperatures for each day
in the month, as furnished by OBJ
