the services.
The Franciscan sisters urged the

New RuIs. for Raising Beet.

Jefferson City.-Through the United
State department Of agriculture the
following rules are set forth in q
bulletin under the title Of Beef Pre-
duction in the South" and are given
in full:
Eradicate the tick on the farm.
Good pastures are essential for pro-
ftable beef production. wv
Plant pasture grasses over the
taste lands. no
Use purebred beef bulls for grad
ing up the native beef stock.
Always select the best heifers for
breeding purposes,
Use the coarse fodder, straws and
the stalk fields for wintering
breeding herd.
Wean the calves when pastures get
short. Put them In the cornfield and
pea fields while weaving and teach
them to eat cottonseed cake or cot
tonseed meal.
Raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm when possible.
A mixture of c~ottonseed 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 are is necessary in feeding
calves than in feeding grown cattle.
At the present prices corn silage
is cheaper and better feed for fatten-
ing beef cattle than cottonseed hulls.
Hulls and cottonseed meal make
an excellent feed for a short feeding
period, but do not produce good gains
on cattle after the third month.
1t is not entirely satisfactory to use
corn stover as the sole roughage.
When Johnson-grass hay costs $40
and hulls 81 per ton it is more profit
able to feed the bulls alone.
Summer feeding on the pasture is
usually more profitable than winter
feeding.
Finishing cattle early in the sum
mer is usually more profitable than
finishing them later in the season.
Fattening steers on grass and cot
tonseed cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them will out
feed.
Thin steers make larger and cheap
er daily gains than fieshy ones when
put on pasture.

over all physical evidence presented
at the trial of Leo M. Frank, under

clared that Frank, in his opinion, was
perfectly normal. Asked whether the
statement, however, meant that his
report would show the condemned fac
tory superintendent to be innocent,
the detective declined to commit him
self.
