half-breed calves do not fatten out as
well as calves of a higher grade, but
if permitted to grow until two or
three years OF age, they finish out as
very good beef animals. The half breed
hcifers when bred to beef bulls usual
ly produce excellent calves.
No section Of the country can raise
cattle as cheaply as the south, and
the variety and prices of feeds are
such that the animals can be econom-
ically finished for the market. The
forage plants, especially sorghum and
corn, make such a luXuriant growth in
the southern ATTITUDES that large
yields of silage can be produced per
acre. The silage is an excellent feed
for wintering the breeding nerd, or
for finishing the animals for the mar
ket. The use of silage in a fattening
ration almost invariably increases the
size of the daily gains, cheapens the
gains, lengthens the period during
which the cattle can be fed cottonseed
meal economically and without danger,
and results in better finish fatter cat
tie, and greater profits per head. The
leeuminous hays as alfalfa, COW pea,
lespedeza, red clover, and yetch, and
the corn stOver and Oat straw are
good rough feeds to use in connection
with Stage
The Shorthorn, Aberdeen-Angus, the
Hereford, Red Polled and Devon
breeds of cattle all do well in the
south. The Shorthorn does well on all
lands where the pastures are good and
feed is plentiful The COWS usually
prove to be very good mixers, giving
milk enough for the calf and to supply
the home as well The result of the
good milking qualities of the COWS is
usually good growthy calf. The Here
rords and Angus are good graZers and
will do Wen under range conditions, as
well as on the small farm. The Here
ford stands ahead of all breeds as a
range animal, but the Angus have the
advantage over all breeds in the feed
lot. as they finish out very smoothly,
are high in quality and kill out hlgh
percentages of marketable meat. The
Devon is slower of growth than the
other breeds. but are great hustlers
and fatten on pastures which are so
thin. that some of the beef breeds
could hardly subsist. The Red Polled
is a dual purpose breed, which ranks
next to the milking strain of Short
horns in the production of milk and
beef. They are not as well known,
nor as popular as the Shorthorn, but
have done well wherever tried in the
south Any of the breeds cross well
with the native cattle and can be used
advantageously in breeding up the
scrub herds.
BY the eradication of the cattle tick,
the use of good purebred beef bulls,
the improvement of the pasture lands,
and closer study of the cattle busl-
ness. the south will develop into .
great cattle raising section, and it
should contribute largely to the sup
DIV of meat in the next two decades.
In no case should high-priced, high
bred stock be brought from tick-free
territory. until the farm upon which
they are to be kept has been rid Of
ticks

Washington, March 1.-THE "Hol-
ly Plan for teaching domestic SCI
ence: The Woman's Civic club cf
Holly, Colo, desiring to help the
girls of that community to become
more efficient in the common duties
of housekeeping, co-operates with
the school in the teaching of house
hold art. The plan is as follows:
The girls of the high school are dl-
vidided into four classes, as indicated
by the year of the work they are
taking in the high school. AS many
divisions are made of each class
as are necessary to secure the best
results. These divisions meet once
or twice a week at the various
homes in the city. and the glr's
cook, sew and do other household
work, such as washing, sweeping
and dusting, under the direct super
vision of the teacher and the MS
tress of the house. A definite out
line of the work to he done in tie
home is given TO the class and also
to the lady Of the house, so thai
she may have the material ana
utensils necessary ready for the use
of the girls, who DO all the Work
and leave the house in the same
condition as they found it, washing
and drying all dishes ana putting
them into their proper places.
In the latter part of the course,
six or seven of the girls prepare
and serve light luncheon to SIX
or seven other girls, the outlay Of
money being limited. The prepare
ton and serving Of the luncheon, al
so the conversation and manners 81
the guests, are carefully criticised
by both teacher and pupils.
Occasionally the various divisions
visit the grocery store to learn nov
to order groceries, the meat market
to learn to distinguish the different
cuts of meat, the furniture store TO
plan for the purchase of kitchen
utensils. During the summer months
the work is carried along by the
mothers in the homes, who follow
the outline the teacher leaves with
the leader of the civic club
The advantages claimed for the
plan are:
1. There is no need of expensive
school apparatus,
3. The girls learn to cook and
dc housework in the home and VITA
the equipment found there and not
in a domestic science kitchen with
utensils much better than those
found in the average home of the
community. The fact that they
visit several homes during the course
of instruction gives the added ad-
vantage of utilizing a variety of ma
terial under varying conditions
;. In every community there are
housewives who are efficient in some
one or other of the domestic arts
such as the making of cake, tbs
| baking Of bread, the serving ci
luncheons and dinners. Under th@
cooperative plan the school giri'
have the advantage of the varlJ"'
recipes and methods; also OF the
varied instruction the advocates o.
/ these recipes are able to give. un-
der the ordinary plan the domes'l'
science teacher would be compelled
to give all this varied knowledge
in the classroom under article
conditions.
4. 1t is practical method o
bringing the school nearer the peo-
pie and of keeping the mothers
close to the girls in their schoo
work.

sands of good beef cattle are found
there. The ShOrthorn is more popu-
lar than any other breed in this re
gion. and they do exceedingly well.
The grazing plants are chiefly blue
grass. white clover, red clover, red
top and orchard grass. The cattle
fatten very rapidly during the graz
ing season and raise excellent calves.
Most of this region is free of ticks and
the losses from death are relatively
small.
The black prairie section of Alaba-
ma, Mississippi and Texas, and the
Delta lands of Mississippi and Louisi-
ana, are extremely favorable sections
for raising and finishing beef cattle.
Experiments conducted by the bureau
of animal industry. and the Alabama
eXperiment station show that cattle
when kept free of the cattle tick, can
be raised at a cost of to 4 cents a
pound. This cost includes the keep
of the cows for one year. charges Tor
pasture and all feeds consumed at
market prices. depreciation in the val
ne of the herd, and 6 per cent inter
est on the money invested. The prin-
cipal native grasses which are indl-
geneous to these soils are bermuda

us: hut red clover, alsile clover, bur
clover and white clover grow readily
when planted in the pastures, and the
grazing season can be extended great

COW peas, corn. sorghum and other for
age crops do well on these lands and
produce an abundance of roughage
and hays for wintering and fattening
the cattle. The red clay soils produce
crops very similar to those mentioned
for the prairie soils
There are great areas of 'cutoVer
lands in the south that range in price
from s. to $40 per acre, which could
be used for beer production. The soil
of such lands is usually sandy or post
oak. neither of which are as good FOR
grazing as the prairie or delta lands.

intimate friend and partner in bust
ness enterprises, Senator Robert H.

lows:
Senator Owen, more than any other
man, has given TO America the finan-
cial premiership of the world; a man
who from his youth has been an
achiever. When as a counselor at law,
he won the suits that rightfully gave
TO his Indian clients 20 millions Of
money and property. and earned for
himself over half million dollars, it
was an unprecedented legal achieve

way home and that frequently by
building a highway around a hill or
grade but little appreciate distance
is added, and this is more than Offset
by the reduced strain of hauling.
The chief drawback from the farm
owners point Of view is that the lay
ing out of roads on this principle of
avoiding grades necessitates In some
cases running the road through good
farm lands or orchards Or pastures
instead Of going around the farm line
and building the road through old.
wOrnout fields and " rocky knobs.
This of course must raise a question
in the mind Of the individual land
owner as to whether the cutting up of
his property by u road yields him In
dividual advantages and so benefits
his community as to Offset the use
of such land for a road or to over
come the Inconvenience of having his
land divided. +
In this connection the Office of roads
points out that the running of a road
and the resulting traffic through a
good farm. where there are good
sheep. cattle. horses, grain. fruit or
vegetables. have a certain advertising
value and in many instances make
the land more valuable. In other
cases the Importance Of such a level
road to the community is so great
that it might we'll repay those using
the road to give the farmer the equiva-
lent in land equally good in place of
what he has sacrificed to the common
welfare.
At any rate. the Office of roads is
now taking special pains to make clear
the economic advantage of avoiding
steep grades in the roads. even at
some sacrifice of better land. Investi-
CATION shows that the laying of such
roads over hills has resulted more
from attention to the preservation Of
farm lines than from scientific at
tention to the problem Of road build
ing.
According to the testimony Of farm
ers consulted. where a horse might
be able to pull 1000 pounds on a level
road It would have difficulty in pull
ing 5000 pounds up a steep hill. The
size Of the load. therefore. tends to be
measured by the grade of the largest
hill on the road to market. In q num-
Der Of cases actual experiment shows
that the relocating of roads around
hills has been accomplished either
with no addition in road length, in
some instances and with. the adding
Of onlyoa few feet to the highway in
others. The office knows of no case
where a properly relocated road which
has cut out grades has led to any
question az to its material reduction ct
hauling costs.
