The Coughing Cow

BY d. 5 Burch
bought COW at auction sale,
A likely critter too.
She cost me little more
Than she was worth for glue.
But when | got her in the yard
And took her halter off.
That bargain COW bumped up her back
And started in 10 cough.
Sne coughed so hard il shook the barn
And broke window pane,
And all the other cattle came
A-tearing down the lane
To see what was the matter.
And say those cows were smart,
For soon each one was coughing, and
They learned the trick by heart.
And after that my family
All got the habit, too.
The children coughed and coughed until
thought they'd break in two.
Well, that was five years ago.
thought twas funny then,
But when the COWS fell over
began to think again.
My wife grew pale and sickly
And coughed her self to death,
And I'm weak cousump,ive
With germs all through my breath.
Now this is uot a sermon,
But its a wrong that allows
Us fools to gn to auction sales
And bring home coughing cows.

How many Morgan county
farmers are going to try alfalfa
this summer? Better get in the
van and be one of the pioneers
in alfalfa culture in the county.
Don't let someone dicourage you
with the story that it is difficult
to get started. It's true alfalfa
is harder to get started than sas-
safras or briers, but then one
acre of alfalfa is worth two acres

Value Of a Pure Bred Boil.

"There is, perhaps, no other
important factor connected with
beef production that is as often
disregarded as that of the selec-
ton of bulls to head the herds OF
grade cows from which are pro-
duced the feeding cattle OF the
country. 1t is still true that the
"bull is half the herd" and he
may be more than half the herd
if he is a choice individual back
ed up by good ancestry. A brief
discussion of the importance of
using great discretion in the sse-
lection of a sire should tend to a
more active demand for the bet
ter grades of registered beef
bulls, In the first place, the
writer wishes to go on record as
saying that the breeder of feed
ing cattle, whether he fattens
them himself or sells them to
cattle feeders, cannot afford to
use a common bull of indiscrimi-
nate breeding. There can be no
doubt about that. Feeding cat
tie that are well bred and possess
quality enough to weigh one
thousand pounds or better at two
years old are worth all the way
from $40 to $50 per head, depend
ing upon their individual quality
and condition. Such feeding
cattle can be produced from
grade beef cows mated with
choice beef bulls. Common and
inferior feeding cattle that are
produced from common cows and
grade or scrub bulls frequently
attain an age of three or more
years before they reach one
thousand pounds in weight Such
feeders at such an age and weight
are wU9th from $27 to $50 each.
The lesson should be plain that
il, does not pay to use an inferior
bull that sires the steer that pays
the owner but nine dollars per
, year for his keep as against one
that pays twenty-five dollars to
twenty-five dollars per year. 1t
may be claimed that the fault is
not altogether with the bull. We
grant that. But suppose the
cows are the same in either case,
the well bred bull will produce
! feeding cattle which will grade
: at least two grades higher than
the feeding cattle produced by
9 the mediocre bull.

TAMWORTH HOGS.
One Of the Oldest and Best Of
Swine Breeds.
UNSURPASSED FOR BACON.
Meat has Greater Proportion Of Lean toFat Than
Any Other Kind Eight Hundred to one Ihous-
and Pounds Not an Uncommon Weight

and Pounds Not an Uncommon Weight.
The Tamworth is one OF the ,,
oldest breeds of swine in exist
ence, if not the oldest. In 1917
it was introduced into England
by Robert Peel, who was so pleas
ed with the quality Of bacon these
hogs produced that he sent sew
eral head to his Tamworth estate
in Staffordshire, England, from
which locality they derive their
name. They were first imported
into America in 1882.
AS a bacon hog the Tamworth
has no equal in any country.
There is a greater proportion of
lean meat to fat than in any 9TH
er breed. A point worthy of
special mention is that they retain
the grazing habit. This feature,
togeteer with their great length
and depth and the quality of their
meat and strength of constitution,
is the chief point in their favor.
No breed of hogs is better adap-
ted to obtain a living foraging
thanathe Tamworths, yet they
bear confinement as we'll as any
hog. They should be particular
ly valuable for rough pastures,
unsuitable for other agricultural
purpose and will thrive where
some Of the lazier breeds would
perish. The sows are especially
good mixers, making them ex-
cellent dams, and usually raise
large, hardy litters that can grub
for themselves at a very early
age.
They are remarkable for hard.
mess of constitutions and are
very prolific.
The entire history of the Tam.
worth is one of development by
selection, improvement, care and
feeding, and it is in the truest
sense of the word a pure, breed.
On this account the individuals
are quite uniform, and their pow
er to transmit their characterist
les to their offspring is very
great.
For crossbreeding they are
considered by many breeders tt
have no eqeal. All sorts of cross
breeding have been made use o1
to determine the best and mos
economic results, but they have
now settled on a Tamworth cross
ed on a Duroc-Jersey or Berkshire
or some of the lard breeds.
Eight hundred to 1000 pound:
is not uncommon for mature ami
mails, and single specimens have
gone much above the latter
weight. 1t is reported that il
recent years a Tamworth boal
killed in England weighed 1,60'
pounds alive and 1880 pound:
dressed. They are ripe" to xii
at any time AT six to sever
months of age they should weigl
about 200 pounds, which is tn,
best size for slaughtering.
The skin is flesh colored, an,
their shiny coats of hair vary il
color from golden red to cherry
Occasionally there appears
small black spot on the ski
which may be covered with blac
hairs. 1t is the tendency o
breeders to breed Tamworth
with the pure red color, but tn,
policy of breeding good individ
uals should come first, as the ul
innate end of all swine is tn

Indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 5.-Horace
S. F3gel has been mentioned in con-

league, which is scheduled to take

day looking over the ground, is anxious
to get back in the harness. He is out
to gain another foothold in baseball,
and, whether or not he is taken into

pected that he will enlist his services
in the Federal cause. Fogel came

for an eight-club circuit next year.
HIS proposition includes the addition

with favor and a committee was
ramed to accompany Fogel east and
