must probably consume o grass
to do so, but this grass, as stated,
is the cheapest feed; hence these
cattle usually prove more profitable.
This does not, however, prove that
cattle under a year old will give the
best returns from such treatment;
nor does it mean that this winter
starving, carried so far as to result
in the death of the animals from
lack of feed, is likely to prove profit
able. Government statistics, we be-
lieve, still continue to show that
more cattle die from Exposure" in
some Of the Southern states than in
Minnesota or the Dakotas. This, of
course, is an ancient Government
joke, for no cattle die from expos
ure in Louisiana or Mississippi, for
instance. What is termed expos
ure," through charity or ignorance
of actual conditions. probably the
latter, is plainly, but accurately
speaking. starvation"
We recently called attention to
experiments in Pennsylvania which
showed that silaee and cottonseed
meal were the cheapest feeds for
finishing beef cattle. This is in COM
plete agreement with practically all
Southern experiments. but we wish
especially to call attention to an
other equally important fact in beef
production in the South. The silo
and cottonsed meal furnish the
cheapest feeds for w~intering the
young cattle and the breeding herd.
If pasturage furnishes the cheapest
feed for beef cattle, the "silo is the
only reliable winter pasture"

keting his feeds to as great disaATln-
tage as the man who would sell his
cotton for eight cents when he might
without greater cost of production,
except for better seed, sell it for
IL cents.
Under present Southern condi-
tons the price we are to receive for
our feeds marketed through beef cat
tie is almost eneirely dependent on
the sire of the cattle fed. We have
neither the capital, cheap interest
rates, nor the knowledge to justify
the purchase of high-grade females,
and therefore. until every beef ami
NAL in the South has a pure bred
beef bull for a sire, we should put
our investments in this business into
pure-bred bulls. To purchase 25
good grade COWS will cost from ST.
200 to $500; while a good bull that
will have as much or greater in1u-
ence on the calves produced, may be
purchased for from 5000 to $500.
1t is. therefore, apparent, that with
limited capital and great need for
Improvement in the quality of our
beef cattle. through which to better
market our feeds, good business
sense demands that we invest in
pure-hred bulls first.
Pastures on cheap lands furnish
our cheapest feeds for beef cattle.
Mature cattle, wintered so they will
merely come through the winter in
strong condition, even though they
may have lost some flesh, will make
more rapid gains when put on pas
ture than those fed literally through
the winter. 1t is true that they

Suggestions to Beef Cattle Raisers

Three essentials to success in

(2) More cheap feed.
(3) Still more cheap feed.

Good breeding is important in beef

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Mayor Hector Makes Last Effort to
Keep in office by Issuing
Proclamation
CARL BEAL BENEFIT SUCCESSFUL

With South Omaha taxes away above
Omaha rates, with the consolidation bill
upheld by Judge w A. Redlck. with the
taxpayers and laboring men Of the city
strong for annexation, Mayor Thomas
Hector came out Yesterday In letter 20
the voters asking that thsy cast their
votes against consolidation on next Tues
day
His honor and his associates sent out
approximately $500 letters OF this sort.
The letter has statements which do not
re in with the provisions made I'm the
consolidation law.
In fact, the mayors great plea seems
TO be that South Omaha will have no
representation in the Greater Omaha
council for three years. incidentally. the
mayor will he out OF office for one OF
the few interims in the last twenty-five
years. The letter bears the union stamp
but Il says nothing about the number OF
foreign Iaborers working on the public
improvements who neither belong TO
unions nor spend their money in South
Omaha for the most part.
While the mayor Is making his pa
triotic plea to be kept In office there Is
no reference made in the letter TO the
organization which, according 20 best
accounts. extends to number OF Sa-
looms. More than this, It Is said that a
number OF the police and a few OF the
flremen have been lined UP 10 work
against the law which viii give them

TaxpRyers Are Wise.
However, there In much deep disgust
among the offIceholders and their allies
now that the people Of the city seem set
upon annexation. Threats OF more in
junction suits have been made, but the
decision rendered yesterday by Judge
Redlcl has settled the minds OF tho men
who feared the law would not go into
effect. The court passing on the consti-
tutionality OF the law has done much to
put the officeholders out OF the running
