Can Be Raised Cheaply

No section of the country can raise cattle as cheaply as the south, is the unqualified statement of the agricul- tural department and the variety and
 prices of the feedstuff are such that the animals can be economically fin ished for the market Sorghum and corn make such luxuriant growth in the southern attitudes that large yields or silage can be produced per acre. The silage is an excellent feed for winter ing the breeding herd or for finishing the animals for market The use of silage in fattening ration almost in- var'ably increases the size of the daily gains, cheapens the gains, lengthens the period during which the cattle may be fed cotton seed meal economically and without danger and results In bet
 ter finish fatter cattle, and greater profits per head.
 | The Shorthorn. Aberdeen Angus 1 Hereford, Red Poland and Devon breeds of cattle all do well in the south The Shorthorn does well on lands where the pastures are good and feed is plen- tful. The cows usually prove to be
 very good milSers. giving milk enough for the calves and to supply the home as well. The Hereford and the Angus are good grazers and will do we'll un- der range conditions. as well as on the small farm. The Hereford stands at the head of all breeds sas a range an- lmal, but the Angus has the advantage of all breeds in the feed lot, as they finish out very smoothly, are high in quality and kill out a high percentage of marketable meat. The Devon is slower in growth than the other breeds but his advantage lies in the fact that he Is a great rust1er and fattens on pastures where other animals would starve to death. The Red Polaled is a duel purpose breed which rangs next nf in the production of milk and beef They are not as we'll known nor as popular in the south as the Shorthorn, but have done we'll wherever tried in that sec tion Any of these breeds cross well with the native cattle.
 By the eradication of the cattle tick. the use of good pure-bred beef bulls, the imnrovement of the pasture lands. and tho closer study of the cattle busi- ness, the south will develop into a great cattle rasing district is the opinion of the department.

iS luiHeu toward the south
 as the future salvation of the cattle
 producers and an ultimate and final
 check In the ever increasing cost of living, Is the belief of the agricultural
 department.
 Big cattle ranges in the west are
 passing away, and so Is the meat sup
 ply Of the country That the situation
 Is not without hope and that a per-
 manent remedy Is at hand in the
 southern states, has been proven by
 the department; the only thing lack
 ing is the ability to convert the small
 farmers of the southern states and con-
 vince them that they can raise cattle profitably and with less trouble than Some other lines of industry in which they are at present engaged
 The geographical location and the climatic conditions of the south are such as to make 1t a good section for cattle raising. The soils are so varied that what may be said in a general way will not hold true for all places or sections of this large area They vary from light sand to heavy clay. or to the black prairie soils, or the stiff postoak As a rule the stiffer the soil and the greater the content of lime in the soils. the more nutritious the grasses are and the greater is the va- riety of clovers which will grow.
 Fine Grazing Country
 The agricultural department declares that the Piedmont section of Virginia, West Virginia, western North Carolina, tennessee and northern Alabama is a fine grazing country and thousands of good beef cattle are found there. The Shorthorn is more popular than any other breed in this region and they do well. The cattle fatten very rapidly during the grazing season and raise excellent calves. Most of this region is free from ticks and the losses from death are relatively small.
 Further. the department states. that the black prairie lands of Alabama, Mississippi and Texas and the delta lands of Mississippi and Louisiana are extremely favorable sections for rais- Ing and finishing beef cattle. Experi- ments conducted by the bureau of an- imal industry and the Alabama exper- mental station show that cattle when kept free of ticks can be raised at a cost of 8 to cents a pound. This cost Includes the keep of the cows for one year, charges for pasture and all feeds consumed at market prices, deprecia- tfon in the value of the herd and per cent fnteerst on the money invested.
 One of the greatest drawbacks, says the department, to the cattle industry of the south has been the presence of the cattle tick that transmits Texas lever, which kills many of the cattle md stunts others in growth. The tick s rapidly being eradicated and it is only a question of time until the south s freed from this pest. The native cat lie of the south are cold -blooded scrubs a variable percentage of the Jersey blood. They are small in size and inferior in quality, but they have stamina and th6 cows produce good calves when bred to beef bull Some of these cows not weighing over GOO pounds have gwen birth to half-breed calves which have developed into 800 to 600-pound animals at 12 to 13 months of age.

BLAMES RUSSIA FOR
PRESENT OUTBREAK
Says England Grasps OppOrtu-
nifty to Destroy German
Commerce.

London, Aug. 17.-Mareonis press
has issued TO the London papers the
following German war news, official
ly circulated through the German
wireless stations and received by
the MarcOni company:
In an interview at Berlin the Ger.
man imperial chancellor states:
The war is a life and death strug
gle between Germany and the Musco-
vite races of Russia and was due to
the recent royal murder at Sarajevo
I'VE warned Russia against kindli9g
this world war She demanded the
humiliation of Austria and, while the
German emperor continued his work
in the cause of peace and the czar
was telegraphing words of friendship
to him, Russia was preparing for war
against Germany.
Highly civilized France, bound by
her unnatural alliance with Russia.
was compelled TO prepare by strength
of arms for an attack on it's flank
on the Franco-Belgian frontier In case
we proceeded against the French
frontier works.
England, bound to France by obli-
cations disowned long ago. stood in
the way of German attack on the
northern coast of France.
invasion of Belgium Necessary.
Necessity, therefore, forced us to
violate the neutrality of Belgium, but
we had promised emphatically to
compensate that country for all dam
age inflicted.
Nov England avails herself of the
long awaited opportunity to COM
mence war for the destruction of
commercially prosperous Germany.
We enter into that war with our trust
in God. Our eternal race has risen in
the fight for liberty as it did in
1912.
1T is with a heavy heart that we
see England ranged among our op-
ponents.
Notwithstanding the blood relation
ship and close relationship in spirit
ual and cultural work between the
two countries, England has placed
herself on the side of Russia, whose
instability and whose barbaric in.
science has helped this warfare.
I'VE expect that the sense of JUS
tice of the American people will en-
able them to comprehend our situa-
tion. We invite their opinion as to
the one sided English representations
and ask them to examine our point
of view in an unprejudiced way.

tion will then lie with German cul-
ture"
