Tariff Must Come First.

The Railway Business association

NO SPECIAL SESSION
Of THE LAWMAKERS
PRESENT CONDITIONS DO NOT
WARRANT SUCH ACTION.
Gov. Brewer Takes a Firm Stand
Against Levee Board Proposition,
Saying Funds Can Be Had
in Other Ways.

~Jackson.-Gov. Brewer will not call a
special session of the legislature to an.
thorize a milliondollar bond issue by
the Mississippi board of levee commits
sioners. His mind is fully made up on
the subject, and no argument likely to
be advanced by the levee board members
will cause him to change his opinion.
The governor made this plain when
informed that a meeting of the levee
board was being held in Greenville for
the purpose OF framing a memorial ask.
ing him to call a special session, to be
convened as quickly as possible.

but the necessary finances can be Sc.

payers of tie state"
The governors decision, in advance OF
the formal memorial from the levee
board, is not surprising, in view of the
fact that he has always opposed special
sessions. Gov. Brewer was invited to
personally attend the meeting at
Greenville, but, owing to important bust
ness here, could not arrange to do so.
The levee board proposal is to get au.
thority for a bono issue in the sum of
81 ,00o, 900, bearing 5 per cent interest,
and also a new statute authorizing the
board to levy an ad valorem tax OF 20
mills on all property in the district.
Concerning this plan, the Greenville
Democrat, which apparently favors the
extra session, says:
"The condition of the %levees, whether
a crevasse occurs this year or not, De.
mands prompt attention. To anticipate
the revenues of the district, year after

TO SPEAK.
Commissioner of Agriculture Has Many
Engagements.

Observation-Disclosures OF Agriculture
ii. +. Blakeslee will make a number of
important addresses during the coming
month, and at several points he will dis
cuss two of his pet schemes, one IA prop
osition TO have the legislature borrow
about $4,000, 900 to be loaned to the
farmers at low interest rates for agri-
cultural development, and the other TO
have the legislature pass a bill provid-
ing for the establishment OF lime rock
crushers to be operated by convicts, and
the lime to be sold at cost to farmers.
The commissioner is hopeful that he
can induce the legislators to see the wis
dom of assisting the farmers in this
way. His idea is for the state to borS
row the money, and in turn lend it to
farmers On long term payments, details
OF security, etc, to be worked out later.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS
INSURANCE MEN
ARRESTED IN JACKSON
CHARGES ARE PREFERRED BY COM
MISSIONER HENRY.
Birmingham Men Placed Under Arrest
and Will Be Required to Answer
Charges on Wednesday
No License Alleged.

Jackson Upon afidavits charging
that they were selling stock to Missis-
sippi people in the Securities Company
of America without complying with the
provisions of certain statutes in this
state regulating insurance matters, G.
W. Beach and II. G. McClaus of Birming-
ham, Ala, were arrested here and ave
bond in the sum of $1,000 each to ap-
pear for a hearing before Insurance Com
missioner T. NJ. Henry.
The affidavits were sworn out by the
insurance commissioner, who heard that
Beach and McClaus were leaving Green
wood for Jackson.
1t is the contention of the insurance
commissioner that the two men are stock
statesmen, and sold stock in the Securi-
ties Company of America without com
plying with chapter 172 of the acts Of
1912, which places all stock selling in
insurance company, and agents, under the
supervision of the insurance commits
sioner. The law provides that charters
of the companies shall be filed in the of
flee of the commissioner, together with
4 detailed statement regarding the plans
for doing business, and approved by him,
before the stock can lawfully be sold.
Commissioner Henry contends that
Beach and McClaus failed to comply
with that part of the law and that their
company has never written him of its
intention t sell stock in this state.
The penalty for violation OF the stat
ute is fines from 500 to $500, or thirty
days in Jail, or both, and it applies to
agents as well as company officers.

Corn stoyer has a value so per cent.

Prairie hay at its usual market price
is not profitable for f|attening cattle.
In comparing a ration consisting Of

a light feed of silage, with a ration
consisting Of a medium quantity Of

feed OF silage, yearling steers being
fattened for market made cheaper
and more profitable gains on the
larger feed Of corn and smalled feed
OF corn silage.
In growing calves to be fattened
later for market, the cheapest gains
were made on a liberal ration of corn
silage and alfalfa without grain, the
cost Of gains increasing in proportion
to the amount OF cornmeal fed.
These experiments show that there
is a great variation In the capacity
OF individual steer to make gains
under like conditions. The data do
not show that the individuals OF one
breed make larger gains than those
OF another breed. The variation In
gain seems to be fully as great within
a breed as between representatives

4 bulletin entitled Economical
Beef Production by II. r. Smith,
has lust been issued by the Nebraska
experiment station. This report
gives the results of four experiments
in which comparisons are made of diff
ferent rations suitable for producing
beef In Nebraska and OF different
types and breeds of cattle fed under
like conditions. The general conclu-
sions are as follows:
In comparing bran, linseed-meal.
and cold pressed cotton seed cake
each as a source of protein supple
menting cornmeal and silage, the
cold pressed cake proved to be worth
so per cent. more per ton than wheat
bran. and linseed meal is per cent
more per ton than cold pressed cot
ton seed cake.
In the use of each of these supple
mentary protein feeds with cornmeal
and prairie hay. the cold pressed cot
ton seed cake showed a value per ton
% per cent. greater than wheat bran.
and the linseed meal 2s per cent. more
than the cotton seed sake.
Where alfalfa was used in connec-
ton with cornmeal and silage. or
cornmeal and prairie hay, large gains
were made without the use Of a con-
cea'rated protein food. The gains in
both experiments where alfalfa was
fed were larger. less costly and much
more profitable. These experiments,
SUI p.ementing what had previously
been found, show that beef ian be
produced in Nebraska at a lower cost
and with greater profit on a combina-
tion Of the corn plant and alfalfa
hay than on any other combination Of
foods available in the state.

1t does not require a lot Of capital
to become a breeder OF p%ure-bred cat
tie. provided a person can be salts
fed to grow in the business rather
than go into 1t. The first thing to
decide is what breed meets a persons

point is settled. says the Southwestern
Stockman. then q bull Of good breed
ing should be selected and bred to the
herd. and calves raised from best
cows. The raising Of grade calves will
give the owner a wider experience
and help him to understand some OF
the finer points concerning the rear
ing Of special bred dairy cattle.
The knowledge gained by raising
and developing grades will be very
helpful when a %pure-bred heifer or
two is purchased as foundation stock
Of a %pure-bred herd. The informa-
ton gained by the are OF grades will
not only be useful, but the selection
OF a bull will give an experience, at
least It should. that cannot be gained
in any other way. This step OF select
ing a bull places the dairy farmer in
touch with the breeds of dairy cattle
and he is awakened to the fact that

A pure-bred bull is a greater educator
for he is the means of leading men
to think and study.
With one or two good heifers 1t re-
quires but a few years to build up a
good herd OF %pure-bred cattle. In the
selection OF pure-bred heifers pains
should be taken to select good ami
mails, but greater care should be ex-
ercised in the selection of the bull.
for it is through the bull the herd is
improved. In other words, the bull
has IN influence on every calf born
in the herd, while the COW influence
but one calf a year.
1t therefore becomes the greatest
Importance for a dairy farmer to Sc
lect a well-bred and good breeding
bull. Very often aged bulls that are
good breeders are offered at prices
little above their value for beef. They
are harder and more dangerous to
handle than a yearling, but this
should not prevent a person from
purchasing the aged bull, especially
II he has proven himself a getter OF
good stock. The bull must prove his
worth as a breeder OF good stock
just as the COW must prove hers at
the pail.
To summarize briefly, the steps to
be taken by a dairy farmer who de-
sires to become a breeder Of pure
bred cattle: First. select the breed
that is preferred and meets condi-
tons best. Second. select a we'll bred
bull, and when possible one that has
proven himself a getter of good
stock. Third, when finances and ex-
%perience will permit. buy a pure-bred
heifer or two. and from these ami.
mails grow into ~pure-breds.
