The question of whether or not
there are too few distinctively Ameri.

weeks distant from the universal hol.

while Christmas is separated by bare

body can say too much in honor Of
Lincoln; but Lincoln was born on the
18th of February, a month pre-empted
for the father Of his country, so far
as holidays are concerned. Lincoln

duce a really good pasture. In fact
such a one requires as good soil, as
much work in its preparation and as
careful handling as any field on the
farm. After the ground has been
plowed or disked and the seed sown
no grazing should be allowed until the
young plants become SO firmly rooted
that they will not be pulled out by
the grazing animals. When seeding
is done in the fall the field should not
be grazed until the growth is well
started, and no permanent pasture
should ever be grazed so heavily as
to injure the stand.
After the pasture has been made,
there are two weeds which sometimes
make trouble, the bitterweed and the
garlic or wild onion. The presence of
bitterweed Is an indication that the
pasture has been grazed too closely
or has been trampled so heavily that
the surface soil is too hard and COM
pact for grasses and clovers to grow.
The weed is seldom troublesome on a
rich soil in good condition and rarely
SO on poor soil which is not too
closely grazed. The use of fertilizers
or decreasing the number of grazing
animals will aid in eradicating it.
The destruction of the wild onion is
a more difficult matter. 1t can be
killed by deep blowing of the ground
In September or October, followed by
very shallow blowing in the spring
and then planting the field with some
cultivated crop. However, this meth
cd cannot be followed in an ordinary
pasture where there are many trees or
In any pasture without destroying the
grass and so making the field useless
as a pasture for about eighteen
months. When a pasture is not infest-
ed 1t should be watched closely and
any wild onions which make their ap-
pearance removed at once.
The permanent pasture should be
supplemented by temporary ones, for
which many crops are suitable. For
winter use the small grains and
vetches will do for horses and cattle.
artichokes, chufas, sweet potatoes and
cassava for hogs. From December to
April oats or wheat and vetch make
the best grazing for dairy cows. Horses
and mules do not care so much for the
vetch but they VIII eat the grain until
the permanent pasture is ready for
them. One bushel of turf oats or wheat
and one peck Of vetch seed are suffi-
cient for an acre. If the rustproof oat
Is used. the amount should be in
creased about one-half. Oats, however,

The defense of Chapultepec, during
the war between the United States
and Mexico in 1S47, was almost as
gallant as was the attack. In this
attack forty-eight Mexican cadets
among others, lost their lives. The
story is stirring one.

surrounding groves of cypress, where,
during nearly three centuries lived
the successive viceroys of Spain, and
where Macmillan made his imperial

Wheat BRAN IS EXPENSIVE
Farmers Can Increase Profits
10y Growing Every Possible Pound
Of Feed for Stock.

There is no doubt that wheat bran
Is one Of the best feeds that can be
used to produce a large flow Of milk,
yet, 1t is about the most expensive
feed the dairyman can use. One pound
or cottonseed meal has feeding value
equal to one and one-half of wheat
bran, but of course it will not do. to
replace the meal with bran.
Cowpea hay has value almost equal
to that Of bran, the exact ratio being
1880 pounds Of bran to 1000 pounds
of hay.
Many feeders believe that alfalfa is
fully equal to that of bran, pound for
pound, and If the bran has to be
bought In the open market the value
OF alfalfa is certainly greater, because
the growing Of alfalfa or any other
good crop always improves the land,
while feed brought in from the outside
only adds its manurial value to the
soil.
Farmers in the South can hardly af.
ford to buy bran; being SO far from
the big markets the price is generally
high-from twenty-five to thirty dol
lars per ton. In any other country
where the soil is poor and commercial
feed high, effort should be made to
grow every pound Of feed possible up
on the land itself.
southern farmers are beginning to
appreciate the value Of this practice,
and more stock feed is being grown in
that country than ever before.
While 1t is gratifying fact, also,
that more livestock is being raised in
the South, there is no doubt that the
amount of stock food per head grown
on southern farms is steadily increas-
ing.
Cottonseed meal is a favorite feed
for the cows in the South and a good
many farmers feed too much of It. II
they would grow more cowpeas, hairy
vetch, clover and alfalfa, and buy less
prepared feeds, their profits would be
larger and their soil greatly improved.

(Prepared by the United States Depart.
ment Of Agriculture)
The southern farmer who appre
ciates the advantages of raising him
self much of what his family needs, is
certain to be confronted at the outset
by the problem of pastures. 1t is al.
most impossible to realize a profit
upon any kind of stock without good
pastures and even if the stock is raised
primarily for home consumption rath-
er than for market, the first thing to
De done is to establish one.
Hitherto the South has been sadly
deficient in this reset because all the
attention has been given almost en-
tirely to cotton. The southern farm
er. however, can, if he will, have as
good a pasture as was ever seen in
Kentucky or Missouri; and have it
available more months in the year
than Is possible in those states. For
a permanent pasture a combination Of
bur clover and lespedeza and Bermuda
grass will afford good grazing for at
least ten months out Of the twelve,
Tor the Bermuda and lespedeza can be
grazed throughout the summer and the
bur clover from January until the Ber-
muda comes on again. On light, sandy
soils near the gulf coast carpet grass
may do better than Bermuda. In any
case, however, every permanent pas
ture should have good proportion of
some legume-either one of those al
ready named or melilotus. vetch,
white clover or alsike clover.

lected it takes time and work to pro-
