farmers in grading up their scrui
cattle.
Many Reasons For
Preference In Cattle.
Our reasons for preferring the
Short-Horns are: First, they are
the most docile Of all breeds OF
cattle; second, they are the larg-
est of all breeds: third, they are
the heaviest mixers Of the beef
breeds; fourth, their advantage
in color, bein. solid white or a
dark red, or rich roam. This
advantage is of no value, how
ever, except in individuals hav-
ing all Of the other qualities that
go to make up a "Show-Ring'
prospect. It makes no difference
with the judge whether the Short
Horns are red, white or roam, just
SO they carry the true type Of the
breed.
Before / forget it let me re-
peat the tribute to the Short
Horns" by Alvine H. Sanders,
editor of the Breeders Gazette
and author of the standard His
tory Of hort-Horns:
Wherever, all this world
around there has been pioneering
to be done in establishing a profit
able cattle stock, there has gone
out the call for Shorthorn help.
Wherever general farming Of the
highest type has been most firm
ly fixed, though other breeds may
prove their several special

the building of magnificent herds
of cattle of all the breeds. Make
no mistake about it the interest
and enthusiasm is here, and the
knowledge with which to success
fully manage these new problems
is being rapidly acquired. All
of the breeds Of both dairy and
beef cattle will be represented.
and already, most all OF the
breeds of swine have supporters
here and there.
The first lot Of pure-bred beef

taken by our most prominent
farmers as start toward the new
order of things. and as result
of enthusiasm over the possibil.-
ties Of improving our stock, tae
organization Of the Fberia-St.

the natural sequence. These

purpose hog than any Of the 9th
err breeds, for it will give a fair
quantity of lard, and a fair quail
itv of bacon. The claim has beel
openly made that the Hampshire
is the greatest grass hog on earth,
in that they will forage and live
on grass alone if no other feed
is available, and we can vouch for
their grazing qualities.
Hampshire Good
For South's Farms.
1T would seem that any hog
that will convert our abundance
of natural grass into pork. and
do it better and quicke than the
other, would be the one best
adapted for the South where our
grasses remain green very nearly
the year round. There is ample
evidence that the Hampshire
ranks very highly as the ideal
packers type. In 1912 and 1913
the carload Of fat barrows en-
tered at the International Live
Stock Show at Chicago failed to
win the prize, yet when they were
sold they brought soc per hun
dredweight over the prize win
ners. Surely the packer buying
them must have felt that they
would cut up more profitably,
else he would not have paid the
increased price. Please do not
understand me to say that the
Tamworth and Hampshire are the
best breeds of hogs. There are
no chest breeds, only in the
sense that they are best suited
under certain conditions of man
agement and environment.
In order to raise hogs profit
ably it is absolutely necessary to
provide them with cheap graz
ing during the winter, and for
this purpose we have a field each |
of oats, rape, and bur clover. The
oats and rape were planted in a

It Really Does Relieve Rheuma

Everybody who is afflicted with
Rheumatism in any form should
by all means keep a bottle Of
Sloan's Liniment on hand. The
minute you feel pain or soreness
in a joint or muscle, battle it with
Sloan's Liniment. Do not rub
it. Sloan's penetrates almost inn
mediately right to the seat Of
pain, relieving the hot, tender,
swollen feeling and making tho
part easy and comfortable. Get
q bottle of Sloan's Liniment for

work is done, if he has been righ-
ly chosen and fairly treated, dies
not in debt. Such is the Short
horn / have known.
It is my opinion that hog rails
ing presents the most profitable
phase of the live stock industry
here, and this opinion is being
put to the test right on our own
farm. We have started with the
Tamworths and Hampworth two
breeds which are little known in
this section, though they are well
established in the corn belt, and
have been bred upto. high state
of efficiency.
Tamworth Is Good
and Oldest Breed.
The Tamworth is the oldest
breed of hogs in existence having
been bred pure for upwards Of
three hundred years, being
known in it's early period as the
Irish Grazier. Their color is q
rich cherry red or light golden,
and in shape they present some
what long and narrow appear
ance, representing the extreme
bacon type. They are the largest
breed Of hogs extant, and for this
as well as the superb quality Of
hams and bacon produced, they
ought to be more extensively
bred here.
Let us not forget that the Tam
worth is used for making the
delicious Smithfeld ham the de-
light Of the epicure. What COM
mended the Tamworth to our no.
tice more than anything else is
their ability to farrow a large
number of pigs and raise them.
The mothers are gentle and kind,
yet woe to the intruder that at
tempts to rob her of her young.
The Tamworths have done well
on our farm and when selected,
bred and fed in accordance with
the type to which they belong
extreme quality bacon-they will
be delight to the owner and a
profitable adjunct to the farm.
That peculiarly marked breel
that is jet black with white band
or belt running over the shoulder
and including both front legs is
the Hampshire.
It should be stated that all |
swine are divided into two clas-
ses, the lard type and bacon type.
We have dual purpose cattle,
dual purpose sheep, and dual pur-
pose poultry, and / am going to
say right here that the Hamp-
shire comes nearer being the dual

is necessary is for Us to get busy

We can see no reason why valu-

low-value stuff now on our farms

determination to bring about Thu

the subtle processes with which
they have been by Nature so rare

DR.. Goodwin Writes For Daily
States About Model Farm;
GIVES Tips and Advice.

The Belle Place stock farm
owned and operated by John f.
Schwing and DR.. j. A. Goodwin,
organizer and secretary Vete-
marian of the Iberia and St. Mary
Live Stock Association, is exact
ly what it's name implies.
Success with them is an as
sured fact. Of course, DR.. Good
win in the practice of his profess
sion has been a close student and
this eminently fits him for the ac-
tive management Of the farm.
Therefore, the farm got off to "A
flying start, and, though actual
experiments with breeds have
been carried on under his close
personal sueprvision not many
months, the success so far attained
is due largely to DR.. Goodwin.
Belle Place Like
Pharr's Orange Grove.
At my request, DR.. Goodwin
has written at length Of his ex-
periences. He tells YOU the best
feed stuffs for hogs and cattle,
how and when to plant, but he
does not say that he does it on
the Schwinig and Goodwin Belle
Place stock farm.
Like Henry N. Pharr of Cor
ange Grove" Belle Place farm
does not purchase hay or grain.
Tankage and wheat shorts are
bought, but all forage corn, sweet
potatoes. sorghum, ETC., necessary
for the ideal cattle or hog ration
are raised on the farm. The
farmers profit, ordinarily lost by
the brokers' and wholesalers
commissions and freight charges,
are saved. And this is big item
to stock farm of any size.
Other noticeable things on the
farm are the numbers of salt
boxes and sanitary water trouehS.
The troughs for the hogs are so
constructed that although the
hog has easy access to it, there
is not sufficient room for him to
crafty his inclination to wal
low.

The barns and silos are models;
in fact, everything on the farm
is kept in high state Of perfec-
ton cleanliness, including the
stock, each head of which is eur
ried, brushed and cared for like
thoroughbreds.
Here is DR.. Goodwin's own
story:

Tells Benefits of
Stock Association.

The Iberia-St. Mary Live Stock
Association was organized by a
handful of men from the two
parishes, because it was thought
that no real systematic live stock
development could take place
without the influence of live,
potent organization. It is now
known that the time of orgamza-
ton was opportune since the as
ISOLATION was a potent factor in
securing the location Of the Gov
eminent Live Stock Demonstra-
ton Farm in iberia Parish. and if
nothing further is ever done, this.
in itself, would justify it's birth.
|. The object and purposes of this
Association are to promote the
breeding and Improvement of
high-grade and pune-bred live
stock in this section, and to aid
its members in buying, selling and
breeding improved animals. It
will oppose the admixture of the
blood of several breeds and the
use of cross-breed, grade, or
scrub" sires. In this way it is
hoped to preserve the purity of
the different breeds which has
taken many generations to bring
up to their high state of perfec-
ton.
We hope to demonstrate that
there is no better place in the

amount of protein which they
must have.
The other crops which may be
planted and either harvested or
"hogged off" are: Corn, sweet
potatoes, stock beets, ruta- bagas,
sorghum, pumpkins, ground arti-
choke, and peanuts. They should
be planted SO they all do not be-

lmnortant Alaskan Product.

The potato is Alaska's most import
ant crop, and, according to a com.
merce report, it is a most profitable
one. Potatoes have been grown in
commercial quantities at the Fair
banks station for several years. The
object of growing them there was to
demonstrate that good potatoes could
be grown in the interior, and the re-
port says that the farmers in the
vicinity have taken the hint. Nearly
all of them now devote considerable
acreage to this vegetable. One farmer
estimated his crop as high as fifty
tons, which at cents pound or $50
a ton, the lowest price at which pota-
toes have been sold in Alaska up to
the present time, would bring him
$4,000. Hog raising has also been
started at Fairbanks, the hogs being
fed on the understandable potatoes.

BY the currency bill the Democratic
party created a democracy of credit
such as has never existed in this
country before. For a generation or
more we have known and admitted
that we had the worst banking and

more than enough at certain seasons
to meet the demands Of commerce and
credit, and at other times far too lit.

it when we needed more. Everybody
talked about the absurd system and
it, quite necessary embarrassments,
sure to produce periodic panics; and
everybody said that 1t ought to be
changed and changed very radically;
but nobody took effective steps to
change It until the present congress
addressed itself to the task with genu.
inc resolution and an intelligence
which expressed itself in definite &C.
