Need to Raise
More Cattle

HA7 e quite agree with the statement
Wy by a Chicago man who has kept
In touch with the cattle owners OF
the country for the past 20 years that
decreasing beef cattle supplies on the
farms east of the Missouri river is
the mos vital problem facing the
livestock industry today, and one
which must be remedied by greater
effort toward replenishment if the
prosperity of the land owners is to be
continued and, too, IL the beer eating
public is to secure it's regular quota at
prices below prohibitive levels.
The nation has in recent years
drawn too heavily upon the source OF
fat beef output, without due regard to
the future of the supply. Farmers
OF the corn belt have been prone to
look to the west and southwest for
their supplies of feeding cattle, not
realizing that the increasing popula-
ton is constantly calling for greater
home production of fat beeves.
Time has arrived when the west, a
few years back the breeding ground
for the corn belt feeders, Is no longer
able to supply feeding cattle to the
farmers of Missouri, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio except at almost rat
steer prices The situation is growing
more acute each year. Within the
past two years the effect of home pro-
duction of beef steers in the states OF
the middle west has been relatively
shorter supply of beef than consump-
tive capacity required. and the results
have been higher average prices Tor
fat steers than realized in 80 years
past. But instead of general prosper
ity it has been prosperity for the rev.
because cattle raising and feeding has
declined.

Splendid Work In Testing.

A most hopeful sign, indicative of
results largely attributable to the per-
sistent efforts heretofore made by the
United States department of agricul-
ture in the line of seed testing, Is
manifest from an inspection of the
catalogues of more than SO of the
principal seed dealers of the country.
All of the firms referred to make
definite statements that they test their
seeds for termination. Nine firms
advise purchasers to send samples
either to the seed testing laboratory
of the United States department of
agriculture or to a state experiment
station to be tested. Seven firms state
that they themselves follow this course
in regard to the seeds they offer and
that the seeds are thereby officially
guaranteed to be of the high grade
represented. Six firms allow stated
time for making a test. advise pur-
chasers to make such a test on receipt
of seeds, and request the return of
seeds which do not satisfactorily meet
the test.
Five firms state that the seeds they
are selling comply with state laws,
and a number of firms give the per-
centage of purity and termination in
compliance with state laws.
These statements indicate that COM
petition between seed dealers Is be-
coming more and more a competition
based on quality a healthful ten
dency from the standpoint of both
customers and honest dealers

Do Not Quarrel
Over Fences

II N the current issue of Farm and
II Fireside a contributor writes In
part. as follows, about the quarrels
that grow out of the differences of
opion between neighbors over line
opinion between neighbors over line
Hardly one owner knows the real
beginning or location of his rightful
boundary, and yet will get into
swearing rage and nurse hatred and
bitterness for years if his neighbor's
fence juts over a foot on his land; or
IL the hungry cattle break over the
flimsy barrier to the green fields OF
Jordan.
How much better to combine and
say, Here, I'll furnish half the wire
and posts, and help make the fence,
If you will furnish the other half. The
ground isn't worth blue bean, and
SO we'll strike a line as near as we
can get, and let it go at that. If part
is too much on me, never mind; IL too
far on you, call it square rather than
quarrel about it.
"I wouldn't be annoyed by other
peoples cattle for the cost of the
fence, nor let mine disturb anyone
else; and I've got about two miles OF
it to make, around and across and be-
tween.
ANY compromise is better than to
let a line fence case go to law, for
such a case is lawyers joy. Better
pay for the land the fence is built on
than have any i'll feeling about it.

Marketing Honey
by Mail

TI7 Il. HAWKINS, writing an article
nAu entitled Selling High-Class
Honey" in the current issue of Farm
and Firesde, says in part:
at know one farmers wife IN
Illinois who makes one trip TO Joiiet
every week of her life with butter ana
eggs Her husband has nine swarms
of bees, and this very year the product
of the bees has been over 1,OO0 sec
lions of marketable honey. Nearly
every private customer, and they nave
MANY. in Joliet, has ordered a case
of honey from the sample she showed
along with the butter and eggs.
Nearly every customer had neighpor
or two who bought some of the prod
uct when they saw 1t and were tolu
about it by their friend.
"The new rate would allow the
sending of 20 pounds for ID cents
within $50 miles from the farmers
postoffice. Every farmer has many
relatives and friends he can drop a
line to and sell great deal of honey
this way. In fact, know OF an Iowa
farmer who has already shipped some
500 pounds this way, solely on orders
gotten from letters written to friends
who knew by experience the value OF
his products.
1.-THE whole thing Is marketing 1t
yourself, saving the middleman's and
several other betwixt mems profits on
your own goods. Get small rubber
stamp, and stamp your name and ad-
dress on each section. You will be
surprised at the number of orders it
will bring. Be sure your honey is
clean and that the surface of the sec
lions is cleaned. Appearance forms an
important price in grading, and grad
ing, and grading makes the price.
Don't cell combs which are broken
and leaky. Poor honey on the market
lowers the price OF all other honey
there. Most people will buy anything
because 1t is cheaper. Poor honey Is
always put out at lower price.

Fall Flowing for Insect Pest

Fall blowing is one of the most ef-
fective remedies known for insect
pests. 1t is, however. more of pre-
ventive than cure, for the insects
destroyed by this method are for the
most part in a dormant or resting
stage, doing little or no damage. but
getting ready for the next seasons
depredations. This remedy alone is
not to be relied upon for the complete
eradication of any insect. but as a
supplementary method of combat il
is of considerable value and against
some insects it is the remedy OF first
importance.
The following insects, recognized as
more or less injurious to crops. can
be controlled TO a certain extent by
fall blowing. Corn ear worm, cut
worms. grasshoppers. strawberry
crown miner and strawberry root
borer, tomato worms. white grubs and
wire worms.

Prevent Spread
of Cholera

TnfOG cholera has existed in the
Ill United States for rs years, and 1t
Is safe to say that in each of the last
% years the farmers of this country
have lost millions OF hogs from this
disease 1t is estimated that last year
approximately $60.000,000 worth OF
hogs died of hog cholera.
The United States department OF
agriculture believes that success in
any attempt to eradicate hog cholera
will depend upon the establishment of
efficient organizations by the state
and federal governments. which Will
work together. They must, however,
have the full cooperation and support
of the farmers. With the organiza-
lions perfected the idea is that when
hog cholera breaks out on the farm IL
will be the duty of the organizations
then and there to restrict the disease
to the one farm where 1t already ex-
lists by instituting suitable measures or
quarantine and also by the admini-
stration of the protective serum to the
droves on adjoining farms. AS is al
ready known, the department is now
testing out in a few sections this
method of combating hog cholera. In
the meantime, while the necessary in
formation preliminary to a general
campaign against hog cholera is being
secured, farmers may do much to
protect themselves and help to re-
strict the disease by careful obser-
vance of few simple rules, such as
the following:
"a Do not locate hog lots near
public highway, railroad, or a
stream. The germ of hog cholera may
be carried along any one OF these
avenues
(2) Do not allow strangers or
neighbors to enter your hog lots and
do not so into your neighbor's lots
The germ of hog cholera may be
readily carried in small amount OF
dirt on your shoes.
go Do not put new stock, either
hogs or cattle, in lots with the herd
already on the farm. Newly pur-
chosed hogs should be put in separate
Enclosures well separated from the
herd on the farm, and kept under OBJ
servation for three weeks, because
practically all stock cars, unloading
chutes, and pens are infected with
hog cholera and hogs shipped by rail
rail are therefore apt to contract hog
cholera.
(4) Hogs sent to fairs should be
uuarantined for at least three weeks
after they return to the farm.
II after the observance of all pos
sible precautions hog cholera appears
on your farm, notify the state veterin"
arian, or state agricultural college,
and secure serum for the treatment OF
those not affected. The early appli-
cation OF the serum is essential.

Wise Farm Gossip for
Farmer and Man

To destroy slugs and earthworms,
water the ground and base of plants
with a solution of ammonia, one ounce
to the gallon. The pests come to the
surface and perish. The ammonia
promotes the growth of the plants.
Fewer worms will infest hogs that
have access to salt and ashes. This is
a safe, sure and economical vermi-
fuge.
The use of farm manure in proper
amounts and properly applied is to be
strongly recommended in alfalfa grow
ing.
Where poultry and small fruits are
grown on the same land the droppings
are often valued at SO cents per hen
per year. Probably the value of hens
for destroying insects is almost as
great as the manure value.
Wood ashes that come from the
cook stove, fireplaces or furnace are
the best kind OF fertilizer for the orch
ard, lawn or garden.
1t is a sad mistake to imagine that
increasing the bulk OF feed for hogs
by adding water will do them any
good.

Animals Given Cancer.

Five thousand animals have been
inoculated with cancer at Columbia

with radium as a cure for the disease.

search bureaus. in declaring how the
use of radium as a cancer cure is

not distribute this hog-cholera serum
direct to farmers. The department
produces only such serum as Is re-
quired for its own experimental work.
Farmers, therefore, should appeal to
their own state officials.

Progress Of the Utica Institute Under
Professor w. q. HoltzelaW.
Utica, Miss.-The Utica institute, 10
Gated four miles south of here, is rec
ognized as one Of the leading institu-
lions In the south for the education and
advancement Of Afro-American boys
and girls. Under the wise management
Of the president, Professor William q.
HoltZclaw, the school Is meeting the
needs Of its large student body in a
most satisfactory way.
Seeing the great need Of industrial
education In the south, Mr.. Holtzelaw
struggled strenuously under difficulties
to plant a school to give the young peo-
pie, especially Of Mississippi, a chance
to acquire such an education as would
1T them for making their way through
life.
During its eleven years Of existence
the school has done q wonderful and
commendable work. Graduates Of the
school since its establishment are hll-
ing nearly every position In the walk
Of life with honor to themselves and
credit TO their alma mater.
The enrolment this year was over
500, coming from Alabama. Louisiana.
Arkansas, Tennessee, Cuba and Mis-
sissippi The high class work done by
the institution places it in the front
rank. Perhaps nowhere in this country
can be found an institution that is
more alive to the needs and best inter
ests Of its students.
The character Of its work was clear
Iy shown in the fact that at the state
fair held In Jackson. Miss. in October,
1913, the school won first prizes for
nearly every department exhibit, not
withstanding every school in the state
was represented, and the Utica Normal
and Industrial institute was the young.
er Of them all.
The faculty of the school consists Of
thirty-two well trained young men and
women. some Of whom are graduates
Of some Of the leading institutions of
learning in this country.
Professor HoItzclaw was born Of
humble parentage on a farm IN Ran
dOlph county. Ala. Starting with such
education as was offered him In bis
home county he made his way TO
Tuskegee institute, where he worked
during the day and went to school at
night for four years, when he gradu-
ated from that institution with honors-
