FINISH BEEF IN THE SOUTH
Can Be ProfitabIy Done If Proper
Grade Of Cattle Is Produced
Proper Feeds to Use.

There are those who still assume
that the South cannot afford to finish
beef cattle. This attitude, which is as
old as we have any recollection, is still
maintained by some of our northern
friends, Notwithstanding their own ex.
pertinent stations have proved that
cottonseed meal and corn silage are
the cheapest feeds, even in the North.
The South can we'll afford to finish
her own beef cattle II she produces
cattle of a grade that anyone can fin
ish profitably, and finishes them intel
ligently on the feeds which have been
demonstrated as the ones which pro-
duce economical results-corn silage,
cottonseed meal and cheap, coarse, un.
salable roughage produced on the
farm, such as corn slower, straws, cot
tonseed hulls and legume hays Of a
quality not suitable for marketing

minated down into a tray of water;
but in case Of the majority Of seeds
the termination test can successfully
be made at home.
The sample should be mixed thor
oughly, then 100 seeds counted out
Just as they come, no selection being
made. These should then be placed,
not touching, on moist cotton flannel
cloth or blotting paper between two
dinner plates. The simple germina.
tor thus made is shown in the illus
tration. The seeds should be kept at
room temperature or at about 20 de-
grees Fahrenheit. Seeds which sprout
quickly are more vigorous than those
which take longer time, and 1t is,
therefore, advisable to make at least
two counts of the sprouted seeds, as
by doing this the per cent Of vigorous
seeds can be determined as well as
the total per cent that will grow.
The cotton-hannel cloth used as q
seeded is torn into strips about the
width of dinner plate and four times
as long. 1t is then doubled once and
the seeds placed on half and the other
half doubled over them. BY fold
ing it this way 1t gives double thick.
ness and retains the moisture better.
The cloths should be sterilized by boil.
ing and allowed to cool before using.
Blotting paper folded in like manner
is also satisfactory, especially for the
smaller seeds. Care should be taken
that the seeds are kept moist, but not
wet, as too much moisture is more in.
furious than not enough.

BREEDING HENS FOR LAYING
Select Only Best Females From En-,
tire Flock and Mate Them With
Good, Vigorous Cocks.

To be uniformly successful in egg
production one should consistently try
to build up his flock. This can be
done by selecting only the best fe-
males from the entire flock, by mat
ing them to good, vigorous males.
and by using this special mating as
a breeding pen from which all eggs
for Matching should be saved. In this
way one will get a continuous Inn.
provement that could not be assured
If the entire flock were used to prop
agate the future layers. In other
words, the time has come for the
poultryman to pay more attention to
individual birds, ana less to the flock
as a whole, especially when breeding
for future producers. The practice Of
making special breeding pens in this
way is bound to result, in time. in
larger, more vigorous birds. better lay
ers and hence more profit.

Cholera a Germ Disease.

Hog cholera is germ disease and
cannot come as a direct result Of the
hogs feeding on new OF soft corn. Soft
corn, however. may so improperly
nourish the hog that its resistance to
cholera germs is lessened and may
therefore easily contract the disease.
In soft-corn years the use Of good
conditioner Is doubly important.

GREAT IMPORTANCE OF TESTING SEEDS
Simple eermlnatOr for Home Testing.

(By o. L. TILLMAN. Botanist. North
Carolina Department OF Agriculture.)
Not less important than avoiding
impure seeds Is the avoidance OF
seeds having low or no vitality, which
fact can be determined only by the
termination test.
Two tests we're recently made with
cowpeas at the same time and given
identically the same conditions; in
fact, the tests we're placed side by side
In the terminating chamber. In case OF
one sample there was no termination,
while the other terminated 100 per
cent Between these two extremes
there are all grades of seeds having
high or low termination, and this Is
true of all the different kinds AS 1t is
possible to obtain good high-grade
seed, no farmer should be willing to
take the risk of purchasing seed
whose terminating quality he did not
know nor be satisfied with only fair
grade seed. Partial or total failure Of
crops is often due to no other reason
than that the seed planted will not
grow.
At the laboratory the termination
tests can be made somewhat more &C
curately, as with the terminating
chambers the seeds can be given the
temperatures most favorable for their
growth. Kentucky bluegrass and a
few other grasses are given special
conditions; they are grown under
small glass bell jars and the seedbed
is kept saturated by means Of wick
extending from a piece of cotton fan
mel cloth placed under the blotting pa

HIGH TYPE OF AGRICULTURE
Thorough Understanding OF Fertiliz-
ere, Their Nature and Appllca-
tion, Is First Principle.

Dairy farming is the highest type
of agriculture. A farmer of this class
must look for success in the maxi
mum productivness of a few acres.
The successful operation of such a
farmer presupposes concentration Of
effort and acreage.
A thorough understanding of fertiliz-
ers, their nature and application, may
be regarded as the first principle Of
dairy husbandry.
While the commercial fertilizers are
beneficial. the farmer should strive
TO husband and make more effective
the fertilizers OF home production.

At orneys for Dr. Bledsoe had the papers all pr pared, and they immediately went into Circuit Court with a writ O. certiorara, which was granted by Judge Guy Fulk. The papers were served on the m mbers of the board of control as soon as Chancellor Martineau had fol- lowed the write of certionari with restraining order. and the clerk of the Circuit Court had issued the papers demanding that all the records in the case be brought before Judge Fulk for review.
