Baby beeves and silos are now go
ing hand in hand, arousing the
stock producers of Texas to the
splendid possibilities of profit when
latter-day scientific methods are
adopted. Baby beeves and silos
will play q most prominent part in
the National Feeders and Breeders
Show, which will be held at Fort

Baby beef as a source of wealth

there were only twelve entries. To
day, however, there are more than
fifty Boys and Girls Baby Beefs
Clubs, with total membership of
more than 1900 youngsters between
the ages Of eight and eighteen. in
Texas, and one county alone-Cole-
man-will send sixty entries to the
show this year. Other counties will
contribute in proportion and the en-
tries in this class alone are expected
to number far more than one hun
dred. Through the children, the De
partment of Agriculture is achieving
considerable success in arousing the
elders. inasmuch as a number Of
prominent ranchmen are taking up
with the movement.

Fosters Negro Melodies.

Collins Foster was SO far ahead of all

In the Cold, Cold Ground have sunk
deeper and more permanently into the
American heart than any other songs
ever written in America. For better

remember that his melodies had moth

Non WANTED AS CO-LABORER
Church Mas Minister'S Appointment
and He Needed No Help From
Canine Friend.

A wide-awake minister visited a
neighborhood for the first time. When
aroused his explosive tones we're
rather startling. A good brother who
always occupied a side seat near the
pulpit was accompanied by his dog,
and the dog lay regularly just in front
of the pulpit. All went well till an
explosive sentence from the minister
led the dog to raise his head and howl,
much to the amusement Of the people.
This occurred several times, and
each time his dogship arose to the oc-
casion and let or a chorus of bowls.
The audience was convulsed with
laughter. The preacher, however.
easily won the day when he turned to
the dogs owner and said;
Brother, it may be your dog has a
call to preach; 1 do not know about
that. But this is my appointment"
