REsENTs LIQUOR DOMINATION.

The Milk Wagon Drivers union of Chicago is dry, and refused to permit one of it's banners to be carried in the so-called personal liberty" demonstra- tion of November 7 None of our men were in that parade" said the secre- tary of the union. and I don't believe there would have been very many union men there at all, outside of the beer keg drivers and other lines of the liquor business, if they hadn't been driven to march I saw a letter myself sent to Q member of the Ice Drivers union threatening the loss of his job if he didn't appear in the pa rade. That's nice brand of personal liberty!"
 Within the ranks of union labor there is growing up fighting senti- ment against the domination of the liquor interests, and incidents like this, and others which might be cited, are giving impetus to the movement.

LOGICAL STEPS.

1S9tSHG .
 Edith Smith Dairs, worlds and na- tional w. c. T. U. superintendent of scientific temperance instruction in public schools and colleges, says: The truth concerning temperance has been in a deep we'll for generations and there have been many logical steps that we have been forced to take in order to reach the water of truth. The first step is the scien- titic investigation which has shown second step demonstrates the effect of the poison upon various organs of the body. The third step makes clear the fact that alcohol has special af- tinity for the brain and therefore af- fects the moral character of man. The fourth step has proven that a drug that affects the organs of the body and injures moral character must render less efficient the user of it, and, therefore, it's use becomes an economic problem. The fifth step places this experimental truth with all It's resultant conclusions i'll a form whereby the largest number of people may be instructed, that is, in text books containing scientific facts con- corning alcohol. The sixth step is the placing of the facts in the school cur riculum and making the text books and the scientific charts a part of public temperance education. The public school is the most democratic institution in the world and is more than that; it is, as pr. Newell D. Hills says, the machine which takes in all kinds of material and grinds it out made over into good American citi- zens' In this fact we see the pos sibility of our reaching the final step to our goal

it takes them half the following sum- which can never be regained. The ration fed should be conducive to growth rather than to fattening. Here again the succulence of silage is very desirable as well as the legumes to supply protein and mineral matter. Instead of cottonseed meal, oats is ex- cellent when not too expensive. The requirement of grain should be gauged by the results desired Cotton seed meal Is not safe for feeding calves and should not be used. 4 small amount of corn if legumes are used for roughage could be used. l. crowded too much during the first winter the gains on pasture the fol ly disappointing.
 The fattening of beef cattle in AT. kansas has thus far been successful only to a limited extent Our class of cattle and feed available have made the short periods of fattening, say ninety days, more profitable than the long periods of say one hundred and eighty days. The grain rations necee sary for the long periods has proved too expensive although the Arkansas feeder has very cheap and efficIent concentrate in cotton seed meal How ever, it cannot be fed in large quan- titles for only the short period and the corn-fed finish cannot be attained with cotton seed meal alone As the growing of corn becomes more gen eral. the time will come when the finishing of cattle can be done as well and as proftably in Arkansas as it IS now being done in the corn belt states and perhaps even more SO
 The greatest needs of Arkansas Tor the profitable growing and fattening of beef cattle are the eradication of the fever tick so that cattle can make a normal growth, the introduction of better blood through good sires, which will quickly follow tick eradication. and a better understanding of stock growing so that the favorable condf- tions which prevail can be taken ad- vantage of to the fullest extent.

GROWING ANIMALS ON THE
 FARM.
No. 4. Growing Beef Cattle.
By H. E. Dvorachek, Professor of Ami. mai Husbandry, University of
 Arkansas

by H. l.. DVorachek, Professor of Ami
 nal Husbandry, University of
 Arkansas.
 The growing of beef cattle has al. ways been at it's best where pasture Is plentiful, so that cattle can feed themselves a good share of the time. Besides pastures, the growing of for. age crops is essential to cheap produc- ton. Of the forage crops the legumes are especially desirable The long pasture season on nutritious. native grasses and the adaptibility of Ar. kansas conditions to the growing of legumes should make the production of beef cattle profitable.
 The proper wintering of the beef COW is an important matter The prac- tice of allowing the COW to rough it through the winter without any pro- vision of feed by the owner is utterly wrong. An unthrifty condition Is bound to result and the COW comes out of the winter too thin. in many cases, to give birth to a strong calf.
 
 of milk which is so necessary 10 start the calf off right, and keep it growing until it is old enough to util. ize pasture. The ration for breeding cows need not be expensive. In fact. 1T sflage can be provided, and there is no reason why it cannot. on large majority of Arkansas farms. and some dried roughage, preferably one of the legumes, can be given, no grain will be necessary to bring COWS out in the spring in splendid condition. If the dried roughage must be such crops as the sorghums, Sudan grass, or na- tive grasses, a few pounds of cotton seed meal will supply the protein re, quirement very cheaply.
 If the calf is given plenty of milk by the COW on pasture, and pastures are abundant, it should come in in the fall at weaning time in excellent condition, and from early spring calv- ing, should weigh between four and five hundred pounds. The first win. ter is the critical time in the life of beef calf. At weaning time it should be eating sufficiently well so that the loss of milk will work little hardship Instead of the common practice of let ting such weanlings go through the winter trying to make an existence on some poor unpalatable dried roughage it will be found economical to feed quite liberally on a more wholesome ration. Where calves are roughed through, they generally lose as much as a hundred pounds Tn weight. which

FOR THE GOOD OF THE GAME.

A license was granted for the sale of liquor on Chicago's new automo- bile speedway, but the management decided to keep it dry. A member of the committee thus explains the ac- tion: For the good of the automo- bile racing game and for the uplift- ing of the sport here and everywhere we have decided to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors on the grounds. Baseball would never be what 1t is today if 1t had not been for the pro- hibiting of intoxicants on the grounds, and we want to make a clean and pleasing start at our new speedway. Beer should not be allowed on the grounds, leave alone sold inside the park. and this rule which prohibits the sale will stand as the speedway races continue-and that will be for years and years.'
