BREEDING OF YOUNG
STOCK IS HARMFUL
Practice, If Carried on for Sue
cessive Generations, Is Sure
to Result Fatally.
tBy R. G. wEATHERsToNE.)


II there is any one thing more than
another that will cause the flock on a
farm to run out" it is the practice Of
breeding from immature stock.
l am aware that the temptation is
strong to allow big, strong eve lamb
to become a mother at one year old
and doubtless many are so bred that
DO attain their normal strength and
development in time, but this practice,
II carried on for successive genera
tons, is sure to result fatally.
The great feature that helps to sell
lamb is its quality of flesh spiced,
as it were, by generous supply of
baby fat. The offspring of a eve
lamb. poorly nourished as it must nee
essarily be, has not the same rich,
juicy meat that is found in the lamb
from the big, strong, well-developed,
nourished eve. Such a lamb cannot
bring over one-half or two-thirds what
another lamb from a good mother will
sell for.
The profit from such lamb is more
than Offset by the loss in size and USE
fulness of the ewes.
An animal comes into the world
with a series of fixed characteristics,
and It's size is one of them. The exact
size depends upon the matured size
OF each and every ancestor.
The massive Shire is the product of
the rich pastures and heavy nutritious
feeds of England. The little Shetland,
of the cold and barren slopes of the
north.
They have the same common an
cestry, yet by an abundance of feed
the medium sized aboriginal horse is
supplanted by the magnificent stall
lion.
By scarcity of feed we have the
little midget of Shetland. Genera
tons of breeding have fixed these
characteristics, yet it is possible under
a system of scanty feed continued for
endless generations to reduce the size
of the Shire. Certainly it is possible
by heavy feeding for centuries to
cause the midget Shetlands to become
considerably greater in size.
One generation will work no ap-
preciable change. but it is the eternal,
everlasting sticking to the same sys-
tenn that brings about the results.
So with the breeding of the eve
lambs, one generation may do little.
The eve may take little longer to
mature but her size will be only lit
tie less! There is the rub.
A small, stunted, scaraway flock,
old even at birth, discouraged with
the conditions. Disguised with life and
with only one redeeming character
istic. They breed young, often and
politically.
But to what end? The farmer does
not want them. The butcher discrim-
mates against them and they are
drug on the market.
Truly a pit:able spectacle, yet one
that is sure to follow if the practice of
early breeding is followed to it's ulti-
mate result.
Contrast this flock with that of the
careful, thinking man whose animals
are allowed to mature before being
bred There we find flock of big,
strong, happy ewes, mothers of lambs
that are regular butter balls at birth
and whose great abundance and
beautiful condition are alike a delight
TO the heart of the owner and bless
ing to his purse.

Pull of Old Fruit.

While looking for cankers on the
trees make it point to pull off all
of the old fruits that are hanging on
the trees, and put them in a pile
where they can be burned with other
rubbish from the orchard. They are
more or less filled with spores of bit
ter rot brown and scab.

FARMERS UNION
 ASKS AID OF U. s.
TO FINANCE COTTON CROP STATE CONVENTINON TO AP- PEAL TO ARKANSAS MEM
 BERS OF CONGRESS.

Little Rock, Aug. 5.-Members of congress from Arkansas will be ap- pealed to by the Arkansas Farmers Union, now in session in Little Rock, to finance the coming cotton crop and save to the planters of the south mil lions of dollars they will lose if they sell at prices which will otherwise prevail, should war between European powers actually occur
 George w. Rogers, president of the Arkansas Bankers Association, and cashier of the Bank of Commerce of Little Rock, appeared before the con vention Tuesday afternoon and ex- plained the financial end of the situa- tion. He called attention to the fact that the war scare has caused cotton to drop about 8 cents, when it should be selling at twice that figure. He stated this condition would continue through the cotton season if war actually took place, for 60 per cent of the cotton markets would be closed Mr. Rogers advocated some action on the part of theI government by which it would advance money to the farm CTS on the cotton, and thus prevent actual suffering in the south. He suggested that the convention appoint a committee to meet today with the Little Rock Clearing House Associa- tion, which is composed of local bankers, in order that the matter be gone into more efully.
 President H. s. Mobley appointed this committee late in the afternoon and it will send messages to the mem bers of8congress, requesting national aid in marketing the cotton crop. The Little Rock bankers have pledged as sistance as far as possible in caring for the Arkansas cotton crop.
 Other interesting speakers of the afternoon were Mayor c. E. Taylor of Little Rock, c. w. Watson, state gov ernment demonstration agent, and others. Mr. Watson spoke on the work being done over the state by the farm demonstration agents, and stat
  until Arkansas would be a featured state by the government, and special agents would be supplied to go into all parts of the state and teach various agricultural subjects wherever class of 25 could be secured. He also stat ed that the agents were accomplishing much in the way of checking disease epidemics among animals.
 Mayor Taylor spoke briefly upon the municipal bond amendment and the association will adopt resolution pledging it's support to this measure, deeming it to the best interests of the farmer to assist the city in it's devel- opment.
 The convention will today elect off, cers, and it is a foregone conclusion that H. S. Mobley will be reelected president.

Upon the ka;ser's summary rejec- tion of the English ultimatum that Belgium neutrality be respected Great Britain at o'clock last night formally declared war upon Germany thus bringing total of seven nations into what promises to be the most atupendona war since the days oi Napoleon. Allied with Germany is only Austria Hungary, whose declara- tion of war upon Servia precipitated the tremendous struggle, while oppos.
 ing this alliance are Russia, France England and Servia. Belgium is also expected to be drawn into the war while the other Balkan states will doubtless rally to the support of Ser via, and Japan has announced that if English interests in the orient are at tackled she will rally to the support of England Italy, the third party of the triple alliance, has declared that it will remain neutral.
 With this battle array it would seem that the>defeat of Germany and Austria is only matter of a short time. The Germaf>Austrian armies and navies are outnumbered more than two to one by the combined forces at war with them. Sentiment throughout the world is apparently strong against Germany, whose war like attitude brought about the inten- tional complications in the fight of Austria upon Servia. It is realized however, that Germany has the most efficient fighting machinery in the world and has the greatest war fund of any of the nations, the reichstag yesterday appropriating one and one quarter billion dollars for war pur- poses.
 On behalf of the United States President Wilson yesterday issued a proclamation of neutrality, enjoinine all citizens of the country to refrain from giving any support to the bel. ligerent nations.
