Why SOUTH SHOULD Be
LIVE STOCK COUNTRY,

The South ought to be livestock
country, because:
~ A crop Of cowpeas, soy beans,
peanuts, or lespedeZa (all legumes)
may be grown the sane season after
an cat crop is harvested. There is no
better feed than oats, and cowpeas and
lespedeza are the equal Of red clover as
hay producers; while peanuts and soy
beans will produce as mpch feed con.
centrates) as any crop grown here or
elsewhere.
~ A soil made rich by the growing
of legumeS and livestock farming will
make as much corn or silage per acre
as in the Corn Belt, and the same sea.
son produce crop OF crimson clover
equal in feeding value to a crop of red
clover.
81 Our climatic conditions make us a
cotton.producing country. One Of the
by products of the cotton crop is cotton
ssed meal, the cheapest protein feed
known. The South produces 450, 100000
bushels Of cottonseed annually, which
pound for pound is superior to corn in
feeding value. If the south could not
have produced cotton she would have
grown livestock just as other sections
have turned to livestock, where one.
crop systems depleted their soils and
forced them to do so.
The South must grow livestock, be.
cause while it is possible to build up
soil fertility without feeding livestock,
it is not generally done, and cannot be
done as economically as by feeding the
legumes, which must be grown to
build up the fertility, to good livestock.
The need of the South is for men who
will study livestock raising as part of
their general farming system. for there
is no reason why the South cannot or
does not grow livestock more profltably
than any other section, except that we
have not the men with either the in.
ciination or information to do so.-The
Progressive Farmer.

Cora BeIle's Team.

Cora Belle's team would bring a smile to the soberest face alive. Sheba is tall lanky old mare. Once she was bay in color but the years have added gray hair until now she is roan Being so long legged she strides along at an amazing pace which her mate, Balaam, little donkey finds it hard to keep up with. Balaam, like Sheba, is full Of years. Once his glossy brown coat was the pride of some MeXican's heart, but time has added to his color also, and now he is blue. His eyes are sunkcn and dim his ears nc longer stand up in true donkey style. but droop deiectedly He has to trot his best to keep up with Sheba's slowest stride. About every three miles he ball,s. but little Cora Belle doesn't call it baking she says Balaam has stopped to rest and they sit and wait till he is ready tC rot along again. That is the kind of lay out which drew up before our dool that evening The Atlantic.

Eliuht of Flies.

That the fly is peripatetic and what the politicians call good mixer is we'll known. The linear extent ot his peregrinations is, however still a matter of dispute And as he certainly carries with him and distributes inlcc. tiol whenever there is amy to be had. the more or less exact determination of his maximum range is ot great prac tieal importance, At one time he Was thought to be very much of home body never wandering more than a few hundred or thousand feet from his birthplace. Then observations made in England and elsewhere threw doubt upon this conclusion and 1t was finally proved that he may travel al le@st mile from home.

 That Honor.

The first bank in America, located on State street, Boston, loaned money on real estate. personal property and tmperishable merchandise, though it had not the privilege of issuing money, then a prerogatiye of the Bay State colony. After a few years Bos. tons first branch discontinued busi- ness and was started in 1714 ten years after the first newspaper was printed in Boston The new bank car ricd on bus. mess and issued $I00, ,000 in scrip ou tue basis now sought by cer- tain financial promoters and leaders. It as scrip aud nothing but scrip and consequently tfa bank was short-ired.
 In 1742 a land bank was founded by several hundred subscribers who gath cred in Boston as the bankers are meeting today and who attempted to relieve the scarcity of specie by is. suing scrip based on real estate hold ings. 4 specie bank was also founded about the same time, hut both insti tutions found 1t as impossible to com pete with the bills Of credit" issued by nearly every colony as it would be today to rival the government in mint ing money. All this paper money rap idly Appreciated in value owing to the constant and heavy expenditure for military movements of offense and de fense against the Canadian French and their Indian allies
 In 17S2. during the revolution, the Bank of North America of Philadel- phia received a charter from congress, and its operations in the Bay State in- spired the establishment of the Bank Of Massachusetts i'll March, 1784, an institution which is still in operation as the First National bank of Boston.
