How to Get Good Stock.

You would like to have
better stock, wouldn't you?
Well, this is the best time
you will ever have to begin
the work of improvement,
and there are two things of
prime Importance which you
can do, whatever else you
may be unable to accomplish.
You can grow feed crops
for your stock this year, and
you can refrain from breed
ing any animal of yours to a
scrub sire. Even if it does
cost a dollar or two more and
require a little extra effort,
don't fail to breed to the
very best sires within your
reach. If there are no good
ones within reach, go in with
your neighbors and get what
you need. You can do it and
it will pay. How is the live
stock of the South to be i'm
proved if you keep on aiding
scrubs of all sorts to perpet~
uate their kind? Don't do it
any longer.-Progressive

I'D Fifth Avenue.

New York, May 4. with
banners flying and bands
playing, the great army Of
sufragettes marched up Fifth
avenue this afternoon in the
biggest public demonstration
of women ever seen in this
country. 1t was estimated
that there we're nearly 1000
marchers in line. From
Washington Square -, up to
Fifth avenue to Fifty Eighth
street, up Fifty Eighth and
thence to Carnegie hall, en-.
thusiastic crowds lined the
way. So great were the
crowds at Washington Square
that police reserves were
called out to clear the streets.
At 5 o'clock Miss Josephine
/ Viederhase, grand marshall
OF the day, sounded the
bugle call and the head OF
! the parade moved out on its
march. Ten mounted police,
men and ten motor specia'

Or. KINGS NEW
Will Surely Stop That Couall
Why Coin Yields are so Small.

The Editor gives five met
hods of how not to grow corn,
and it is sadly true that
thousands of men in the
South who call themselves
farmers are practicing met>
mods Of making poor corn
crops, Travelling through
the country in the South l
have often been astonished
to note field after field plant~
ed in corn on which the man
who planted it knew that the
land could not make a pay
ing crop. Yet year after year
we see them doing the same
thing when the land is not in
any condition of fertility to
make corn, has been simply
scratched over, often with
only a bull-tongue, and has
been butchered in the cults
walton, and the crop on an
acre would hardly feed the
mule that worked it a month.
And then the farmer COM
plains that his land is poor,
and wants to know how much
fertilizer and what formula
to use to make a prize crop on
a piece Of land that made 10
bushels last year. And he
cannot do it with fertilizers.

Why We ale Poor Stockmen.


AT present, she greatest obsts-
Gle to stock raising in the South
is tbelgenersl dislike for the close
aud constant attention 1t requires.
1t is true, that if we knew more
about it, 80 that it would prov,
more profitable, We would like it
better, but we cannot learn it
without practi }ing it and the
progress ip, tt r fore, necessarily
slow.
Those who would learn the
business mus accept and adopt a
few base facts:
1. That livestock re only prof.
table when we'll fed ard cared
for.
2. That feed is net grown for
livestock, bnt livestock afe keTt
to nsu me and market feeds and
leave on the farm the plant foods
taken from the soil in their
growth.
8. That the feeding and care of
livestock is q constant end exact
ing business.
4. That to learn how to feed
livestock the most probably it is
necessary to add to tn alt own ex-
p%erience, what others have learned
in the past.
5. That the learning of the
business will require much study,
as we'll as hard, practical, work.
