At a Logansport moving picture

showed A group of young ladies pre-
pairing TO disrObe and go in bathing
in sheltered lake in the background.
Just as they started to undress a long
freight train came along the track be-
tween the camera and the bathers.
BY the time II had passed the young
ladies were in their bathing suits and
in the lake.
At the. close of the performance a
man who had just seen the show step
ped up to the ticket window and asked
for a seat for the next night.
I'VE show the same pictures tomor-
row, you know" said the ticket man.

business did not net a profit. In fact
the books showed a loss right from

business WAS the fact that they drank
up more than five times as much soda

BILE percentage of Jersey blood. They
are small in size and inferior In quail
ity, but they have stamina and the
cows produce good calves when bred
to beef bull Some of these cows
weighing not over 600 pounds, have
given birch to half breed calves which
have developed into 500 to 600 pound
animals at IL to l3 months Of age.
They usually weigh about 500 to
SO pounds at two years of age when
raised under average southern farm
conditions. The half breed calves do
not fatten out as well as calves Of
higher grade but If permitted to grow
until two or three years of age they
finish cut as very good beef animals.
The half breed heifers when bred to
beef bulls usually 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 econori-

There are great areas Of "cutover

from 50 to $40 per acre, which could
be used for beef production. The SOIL
of such lands Is usually sandy or post

grazing as the prairie or delta lands
but which would furnish good grazing

abundant grazing on the sandy lands
while the bermuda does better on the
soils which are little stiff. The

dalton OF all pastures on sandy or
sandy loan lands should be carpet

variety Of forage crops which may be
raised on this type of soils Is large,
and It is an easy matter to grow all

Whv Country Road Unit.

A stretch of road Of the utmost I'm.
portance to locality may be of little
conc ern to a particular township In
volved (the people using another
road), and hence there Is no oppor'
tunity to have the entire stretch OF
the road improved as 1t should be.
And we conclude that no system OF
roads that will answer present needs
can be built under township units, be-
cause they are too small to carry on
the work. Moreover, the cost would
fall wholly on the township. whereas
the center toward which the road goes
is as much benefited, but may be In

the main roads would be better; the
law could let each county vote tor or

The geographical location and the
climatic conditions Of the South are
such az to make 1t 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
post-oak. AS a rule the sitter the soil
and the greater the content OF lime
in the soils, the more nutritious the
grasses are. and the greater Is the
variety OF clovers which will grow.
The Piedmont section Of Virginia,
West Virginia, western North Caro-
lima, Tennessee, and northern Ala
bama 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 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 grazing sea
son and raise excellent calves Most
Of this region is free from ticks and
the losses from death are relatively
small
The black prairie section Of Ala
bama. 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

Anyone who has had experience In

treat them when sick has noticed how
extremely diff cult It Is. 1t is not SO
difficult as long as the swine will eat.
Medicine may be put into the food, but
swine that are very Ill will not eat.
Take, for instance, pneumonia; for
treatment, when In severe cases heart
failure Is feared, it Is recommended
that digitalis shall be administered
In occasional doses, but how is Il to
be administered to hog so sick that
he Is in danger Of heart failure? The
better plan by far Is to try to keep
