outstanding feature of the European
war. Latest adyices, received by way
of London in official dispatches, say
uiege still holds out against the at
tacks Of the German Army Of the
Meuse.
On the .authority Of the Belgian
War Ministry the German casulties
n the battle around Liege number
$4,000, according to their own .ad-
mission: An official statement issued
from Berlin described the attempt
on the Liege fortress as unsuccessful
and the assault of the Germans as
"a unique act Of heroism" and added
that It will not have the slightest
influence on the larger operations
OF the German Army.
German diplomats have been using
their utmost efforts to win Italy to
the German side, by negotiations and
a direct appeal to King Victor En-:
manuel, but without success. The
Italian Ambassador at London, thank
ing a great assembly, including sever
al peers and members Of Parliament,
which gathered in front Of the EN-
bassy, said Italy had declared her
neutrality and would adhere to It.
Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord
Of the Admiralty, denied there had
been an engagement between German
and British fleets in the North Sea.

After discussing in some details the
available pasture lands and grasses
the Bulletin summarizes conditions az
follows:
Eradicate the tick on the farm.
Good pastures are essential for prof.
liable beef production.
Plant pasture grasses over the whste
lands.
Use purebred beef bulls for grading
up the native stock.
Always select the best heifers for
breeding purposes.
Use the coarse fodder, straws, and
the stalk fields for wintering the
breeding herd.
Wean the calves when pastures get
short. Put them in the cornfeld and
! pea fields while weaving. and teach
them to eat cottonseed cake or cotton.
seed meal.
Raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm when possible.
A mixture Of cottonseed meal, cot
'tonseed hulls, and alfalfa hay Is
good ration for fattening calves.
Silage is the best roughage for fat.
tening any class Of cattle.
More care is necessary in feeding
calves than in feeding grown cattle.
At the present prices corn silage
is a cheaper and better feed for fat.
'tening beef cattle than cottonseed
'hulls.
Hulls and cottonseed meal make an
excellent fed for short feeding pc.
Rod, but do not produce good gains
on cattle after the third month.
It is not entirely satisfactory to use
corn stover as the sole roughage.
When Johnson grass hay costs SO
and hulls 81 per ton it is more prof
table to feed the hulls alone.
summer IeeOlng on the pasture is |
usually more profitable than winter
feeding.
Finishing cattle early in the sum-
mer is usually more profitable than
them later in the season.
Fattening steers on grass and cot
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
feed.
Thin steers make larger and cheap.
er daily gains than feshy ones when
put on pasture.
Pound for pound coId-pressed cot
cake is not equal to the COM
non cottonseed cake
The use Of a small amount of corn
n addition to cottonseed cake has
proven profitable for feeding steers on
