A Carload of Cattle q Year

1t would not be advisable to raise less
than carload of animals for the mar
ket each year as it costs but little more
to market twenty-five head than it
does to market ten head. Then in order
to insure twenty head for the mar
ket each year it would be necessary to
keep from thirty to thirty-five head of
COWS throughout the year.
Getting Animals Ready for Market
The calf dropped in the spring should
suck until six or eight months old
and should weigh 600 pounds when a
year old. Spring pasture may be pro-
vided by fall soWn rye or wheat plant
ed on summer fallow After the alfalfa
is cut late in June The stubble may be
pastured until the grain stubble is avail
able the latter part of August. The calf
receives hay, silage, straw and a little
grain during the first winter. During
the following summer it should receive
a little alfalfa hay if the pasture is
short. About the later part of August
the sixteen mOnths-old calves should be
separated from the OIL COWS and young
calves and begin receiving little grain.
A half pound per animal per day is So
ficient at first This should be in
creased slowly and in five or six weeks
time each animal should receive from
eight to ten pounds of grain daily.
Four months feeding should produce
prime beef.
During this time each animal will
consume about 800 pounds of silage, 800
pounds of grain and 500 pounds of al
falfa hay. Figuring the price of the
feed as: silage, 81 per ton; grain, $25
per ton, and hay, SIS per ton, the cost of

Cropping Each Year

This system of pasturing the summer
fallow is not to be recommended, but
is a better one than is practiced at the
present time. A much better system is
to harvest a crop each year instead OF
every other year. 1t is the common De-
lief by farmers in this section that there
is insufficient rainfall to produce a crop
every year This undoubtedly is
mistaken idea as is shown by an expert
ment conducted at this station. Twenty
wears ago a twelye-acre field on the col.
lege farm, having several clay points
and having a south slope, was chosen
for the experiment. A light coating of
manure was added occasionally to the
cIav points. This field has produced a
crop each year and at the present time
the yield per acre is much greater than
if was when the experiment began. The
rotation of crops grown during this
time has been wheat, corn, clover and
meas The soil was thoroughly cult
waited and the weeds were destroyed
each year that corn was grown and
nitrogen was supplied to the soil by the

ried on in this country. Records show
that there was more than a million
acres of summer falloW land in the
three counties-Lincoln, Adams and
Whitman-last year. Let us suppose it
requires twenty acres of this land to
supply feed for each cow, calf or steer.
In other words, the summer fallow land
could pasture $4,000 head of cattle.
Suppose one-fourth of this number
were marketed annually, or 1880
head At present prices each animal
would bring at least $50, making total
of $75O,OOO or $250,000 per county.
These figures are extremely low. Some
of the better sections can do forty or
fifty per cent better than is shown
here

The Choice of the Breed

AS to the breed of cattle to raise,
there is but little choice between the
Shorthorn, Hereford or Aberdeen An
gus. This is a matter to be decided
largely by the farmer, for it should be
the breed he especially likes However,
the two former breeds mentioned are
the most popular III the Northwest at
the present time. But regardless Of the
breed raised, there is one vital point
to bear in mind and that is to head the
herd with good sire and by careful
selection Of cows a good beef strain can
be had in a few years time Another
essential is that the man who goes into
beef raising should have fairly good
understanding of the business so that
he can feed properly and handle his fat
tening cattle in a way that they will
net him the maximum return from the
feed consumed

which it contains are just as effective,
pound for pound, as those in the best
fertilizing chemicals. Plant food is also
restored to the soil when a system of
crop rotation is carried on which would
necessarily occur on portion of the
farm, in order to supply hay and silage
for the stock during the winter months
and fattening period. Alfalfa is the
best forage crop to grow in this section
as 1t is drought resistant and is one of
the best nitrogen producers we have. 1t
can be used for hay, pasturage, and
silage, and once it gets a good start it
seldom fails to produce a good crop.

K'f&
@N the system of farming that
.x&kS is now being pursued in the
Palouse country There is
M other section of the Northwest where
grain growing is the principal occupa-
ton. that can lend Itself to beef pro
duction to any better advantage than
can the Palouse country. Because of
the low market price of beef it has not
been until recently that such business
as this could be made a profitable one
in grain growing section. But within
the last couple of years the price has
gradually advanced to the point where
a good profit can be made in the beef
business on the grain farm as we'll as
on the range.
If the feed that is wasted each year
on the average farm in this country
could be used for the production of
beef it would insure the farmer a much
greater annual income than he receives
at the present time. On the average
farm there is sufficient feed left in the
grain fields after harvest each fall TO
furnish grazing for a herd of forty
head head of cattle until the first of
November or until cold winter weather
begins. Under present conditions there
is always some short grain that is never
cut and some is broken down by the
horses and machinery at harvest time
and remains on the ground and is vast
ed Likewise there is always a certain
amount of grain spilled on the ground
around strawstacks and is left there to
rot A certain per cent passes through
the threshing machine and is blown into
the straw stack. This is usually all

Beef Raising Is Profitable

The beef business in this country can
be made profitable one, because the
price of beef is high and because it will
continue to be high Never before has
there been such an opportunity for the
stock raiser to make a success as at the
present time. Beef was raised on
ranches other than stock ranches IN
past years, when the price of finished
beef was only five or six cents per
pound. This year at marketing time
November or December) the price
ranged from seven and one-half to eight
cents per pound. All indications show
that the price of beef will continue to
De high IN the future. The range Is be-
ing gradually taken up and the country
Is becoming more thickly populated.
The demand for beef is going to IN
crease and as the supply can not be
furnished from the range it is evident
that it will be supplied from the farm.
There is no reason 70 believe that the
demand or the price of beef will de-
crease in the future. Then why can not
the farmer be sure of making a profit
IN this business todayf
Beef production would fit in well
with the system of farming that is car

maintaining the Soil Fertility
Ahother factor of just as much i'm
portance as the loss Of roughage on the
farm is the matter of the loss of plant
food from the soil Under present con-
dltlonS OF farming the land is steadily
losing nourishment and plant food

and there is nothing returned TO if ex-
cept little stubble which does not in
crease the fertility of the soil to any
appreclable amount, but simply in
creases the physical texture of the soil
to limited extent 1t is quite evident
that this system of Swimming the
land can not continue indefinitely as
is shown by the decrease in the wheat
production within the last ten years in
the PalOuse country The most simple
method of remedying this loss of nour-
lShment in the soil is to keep more live
stock on the farm. They will consume
a large amount of feed that would
otherwise go to waste and will furnish
means by which the fertility of the
soil and the production of crops can be
increased, If the manure is handled
properly the elements of plant food

Municipal Bond Amendment
 Will Benefit Farmers.

Two farmers of Illinois last week drove over Mississippi county. They left on Saturday to return to their homes where they will sell off seeral hundred acres of black land that will net them over S200 per acre. Every cent of this will be invested in Mississippi county land, which they claim is superior to that of Illinois, and will in time be more valuable. They will buy land well back in the county, which is not completely drained, and has not been cleared of all the tim Der. Ths land will cost them S30 per acre, but they consider it cheap at that price.
 Since coming to Arkansas we
 have heard considerable discus sion of a Municipal Bond Amendment" said one of the farmers while waiting for a train at Blytheville, land when we return we will do our utmost
 to assist this measure to be adopted. We did not suppose there was state in the United
 States without such provisions for the issuance of bonds by cit ties and towns. In Illinois we farmers consider this right on the part of the cities to be the most benefit to us we received from them. It built the cities, and after they had paved the streets they began to look after the roads, and in time we had much better facilities forgetting our produce to market. We could haul twice as large a load and get to town twice as rapidly. ''We buy our land in Arkan- sas cheap because there are no roads leading to it, or roads that can be travelled at all seasons with a load. This bond amend ment will soon have the cities of this section so prosperous that the roads will follow and every rural property owner will find that he has more than dou- bled the price of his farm through the evolution in country roads. Whenever a city im- proves, the farmer living in that
 section can count his benefits
 two fold that of the city cousin" ,"

The Martyrdom of Dominguez of
 Mexico.

United Press Dispatch.
 Mexico City, August 18.- At last Bellisario Dominguez's speech has been published Where the speaker has gone, only Victoriano Huerta knows, but Dominguez's speech will last as long as Mexicans worship their heroes, or indeed, as men of any nation continue to pay tribute to a brave man. They were terrible days-days of horror-in which Dominguez spoke. Huerta had been presi- dent only q few months. States men who opposed him had been led away in the dead of night, at his orders. None were ever seen again. Huerta's life was an orgy of cognac, women and murder.
 Dominguez was senator. The horror of the times seized upon him, and he resolved for one, not to bend before the terror, as other senators were doing, but to face it-and die.
 He took out a life insurance policy for his son; he wrote a speech; he rose on the floor of the senate and delivered that speech. Only since Huerta, with

his boarded gold, fled, have the people of Mexico known what Bellisario Domnguez sad that evening in August to the Mexi- can senate. It is only now that newspapers have dared to print his burning, patriotic words.
 It was an adroit manner by which Dominguez secured the floor for his speech that even- ing. Sanchez Gayito, senator, had asked for leave of absence, an ordinary request. Dominguez rose to explain why he would vote No" T must vote a gainst it, said Dominguez, "be- cause Mexico needs such men as Gavito in the senate during these grave times. And then Bellisario, in the beautiful sen- ate chamber, under the sparkle of the great cut glass chandel- iers, standing under the arches on which are carved the names of Mexico's greatest men, smil- ing, raising his head against the Terror in the Mexican palace, began his suicide.
 
 Do you not see, he said, "senor senators, how dark is the present situation of Mexico? Do you not see the weakness of a government which has as it's head an old soldier who lacks the konwledge and the culture indispensable to the government of a people, and who tries to make himself appear strong by acts that receive the reproduction of all civilization and morality?

 q did not do it." he told me. Other members of Huerta's cabinet who were jealous of me told the story about me. It is a lie. Dominguez is dead. That is all I know
 The facts about D0mlnguez s deeds have come to light just recently. They mark Victori- ano Huerta as an unspeakable and merciless, demented murder CT, drunk and as bloody as Nero himself.
 These same facts also place on the pages of Mexican history one of it's brightest names. They give to the world a new instance of the heights which human self-sacrifice may some times attain.
