NEARER HEAVEN

"A little nearer heaven
When within our hearts the
dove
OF the peace of simple living
Sings the litany of love,
When the anger and the hatred
Have been purged and put
away
And we walk a path of sunshine
Through a summer holiday.
| little nearer heaven
Near its beauty and its light,
When our souls are full OF kind
And we feel and act Alright;
When the passions that degrade
Burn to ashes and we live
In the laughter of forgetting,
And, forgetting, we forgive.
A little nearer heaven
When we've done some tender
thing,
Helped another heart to blossom
And another soul to sing;
When we've turned our strength
to duty
And in duty's love been born
To the gladness of the sunshine
And the sweetness of the morn
A little nearer heaven
When we turn from doubt to
TO the gates of life's affection
And the lilied dreams of home
When the calm o'ertakes the tenn
pest
And the sunshine once again,
Cleans the canker from our ma
And turns creatures into men.
A little nearer heaven
When we make this earth a place
Where the blossoms of affection
Glow in a11 their tender grace
When we strive with all our be-
ing
TO make all around us seem
Like the gardens of that heaven
Where the eyes of beauty dream.

demonstrate the great advantage
OF the South for the production
of beef cattle.
The figures compiled by Mr..
Ward do not cover profits, but it
IS obvious that the profits are
substantially larger in the South,
and, as pointed out by President
Harrison, even if the animals
should be sold at cost of produc-
ton on the basis OF Mr.. Ward
figures, the farmer would have
returned to him every possible
expenditure OF money, pay for his
labor, and six per cent interest on
his investment, and his lands
would be improved by the ma
rure obtained from his herd.

ST OF BEEF CATTLE
NORTH AND SOUTH

Washington, July 23.-Presi-
dent Harrison, of the Southern
Railway Company, has directed
attention to a statement prepared
by Mr.. w. F. Ward, senior ami
NAL husbandman in the United
States Agricultural Department
summarizing the results of inves-
legations made by the department.
into the cost of growing beef cat
tie in different localities in the
United States.
The Investigations were carried
on in the so-called corn belt states
of Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota
Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota
Nebraska and Kansas, in Penn
sylvania, in North Alabama, and
in West Alabama. In each case
every possible charge was made
against the cattle, including not
only all feed but also labor, equip
ment, taxes, risk, depreciation
veterinary fees and interest at E
per cent on the investment, and
against each calf was charged not
only the net cost of keeping the
cow but also the cost Of the bull
per calf. The final results are all
IN favor of the South.
The average cost per hundred
pounds Of raising a calf to wean-
ing time was 1910 in the corn
belt and $7.22 in Pennsylvania, as
compared with 1888 in North
Alabama and 1857 in West Ala
bama.
The average cost per hundred
pounds of raising a calf to twelve
to fifteen months old was $11.70
in the corn belt and 1924 in Penn
sylvania, compared with SAL in
North Alabama and 500 in
West Alabama. The figures for
the corn belt, Pennsylvania and
North Alabama are based on rails
ing sail to the age of twelve
months and those for West Ala
bama to the age of fifteen.
While the investigations of the
department in the South were
carried on only in localities in
North Alabama and West Ala
bama, conditions in other parts
OF the South, including the states
OF Georgia, Mississippi, the whole
OF Q Alabama, Northern Florida,
south Carolina, and parts of Ten
nesse and North Carolina are so
Similar that the results that were
obtained IN the Alabama expert
