RISK REDUCED TO MINIMUM
With More and Better Live Stock
farming Will Be More Profitable
In the Southwest.

The growth and Importance of agrf-
culture in the Southwest largely will
depend upon the live stock industry In
this part Of the country. There will
be years when crops are large and
markets satisfactory: there will be
other seasons when for various rea-
sons farms will not be as remunera-
tive as the managers have reason to
expect. This has been the history Of
cropping everywhere so far as we
know. The same will be true Of other
business more or less dependent upon
farming.
But with more and better live stock
farming will be more profitable and
all business prosperous as a result of
greater production on farms. BY rails
ing animals Of the right type and of
the proper kind risk will be reduced to
a minimum. The manager that invests
in breeding animals and equipment
will need more capital than where
crops only are grown, but these in
vestments. If properly made and care
fully managed. will bring I'm better
profits and place the business of farm
ing upon a safer basis.-Farm and

ORIGIN OF sHoRTHoRN BREED OF CATTLE

Shorthorn cattle, like their Anglo
Saxon owners and improvers, are of
composite origin. Authentic history
Of the breed began about the middle
of the eighteenth century, though ira
dition represents these cattle as ex-
listing in the northern counties of Eng
land as a much earlier time. For sew
eral centuries preceding the formative
period of the breed in the counties of
Durham, Lincoln, York and Northum-
berland early known as North UNI
brfa-the kingdom had been success
sively conquered, ruled and plundered
by the Roman, Saxons, Scandinavians,
and finally by the Normans, led by
William the Conqueror.
The strongest and best elements Of
these conflicting, warning nationalities
were blended and refined In the cru
chile Of succeeding centuries into a
race of people that has led the civili-
zation of the world. SO were the best
elements OF bovine development in
North Umbria selected by intelligent
husbandmen and refined by long
process of intelligent breeding and
careful development into the modern
breed of shorthorn cattle. This brief
outline does not presume to be his
tory of shOrthorns, and so cannot

give the details Of this early. period.
Among the pioneer breeders who i'm

toriety and popularity were Charles
and Robert Colfing, Thomas Bates,
Thomas Booth and his sons, Richard
and John. They accomplished this
result by judicious breeding, careful
feeding and extensive advertising by
exhibiting their cattle throughout Eng
land.
The earliest importation of short
horns into the United States was
made about 1870, but the first to be
taken west Of the Allegheny noun
tains were imported from England by
Col. Lewis Sanders Of Kentucky In
1917, and were known as 1.-THE Seven
teens" They were excellent cattle.
though much controversy afterwards
sprang up over their breeding. At the
time of their importation no pedigree
had been secured, as many breeders at
that time had not learned the import
ance of careful records, this being sew
eral years prior to the establishment
Of the English herdbook. From 1920
to 1850 many importations were made
both by individual breeders and COM
panies, and so shorthorns soon spread
over most of the state.

Famous Tales and Legends Told in Brief Form
The Accused Bell of Vera Cruz

out, and that It be banished to Mexlco'
The manned bell was carried to the
coast amid the insults and curses u
the people, and when the great SILVER
flota sailed to the Spanish Main tnat
year, one of the galleons took the Deli
and carried it to Vera Cruz, Wnere IL
lay for many years, properly feared
and loathed by all.
Again years passed, and again men
forgot the tale. After a century,
new viceroy asked why so beautiful
bell was not used, and directed that II
be set In the clock tower of the palace.
AS 1t had no tongue, the wOrkmen,
luckily for the peace Of Vera Cruz,
put 1t solidly into place and adjusted
hammer that struck the bell from
the outside. This hammer, being
made from perfectly honest Mexican
metal, had no curse ON it and as nat
ural consequence the bell remained per-
fectly sedate and never alarmed Vera
Cruz by striking anything but the
hours.
1t would, no doubt, be there yet, had
the French soldiers not arrived. They
took it down and melted it, intending
to cast 1t into cannon.
Then the curse made itself manifest
again, for the last time so far as any
body knows. The iron refused to run.
1t turned sour" as is testified by
veracious chroniclers who saw 1t. And
it chilled suddenly into a monstrous
shape that was so assuredly not of this
earth that even the fearless soldados
of Napoleon were frightened. Hurried
ly they took the gruesome thing away
and cast it out, beyond the city.
There it lies to this day and every
good man must pray that 1t never shall
be found again.

MORE AMERICANS GO TO SEA
The Number Has Increased Two and
one-HaIf Times Since Start
Of War.

That the United States will be well
supplied with native sailors In the
event of war with any other country Is
the statement made by DIR. George s.
Webster, secretary to the American
Seamen's Friend society of New York,
an exchange says. Doctor Webster
says that the European war is respon-
sible for many thousand Americans be-
coming sailors. He states that his
society within the last half year has
aided more than 100000 American
sailors.
Doctor Webster says that there are
approximately two and a half times as
many American sailors now shipping
for foreign ports as at any time previ-
Gus to the war. He attributes this in
crease partly to the increased wage be-
ing given seamen and partly to the
improved conditions under which they
are working.
In announcing the six months report
of the society, Doctor Webster says:
1.-THE past three years have marked
an almost unbelievable increase in the
number of Americans who are SHINING
as sailors from our own ports. At orr
sailors home on the North river water
front the men we have previously
cared for were almost entirely British
Swedish and German. If an American.
born sailor should have mingled IN
with this company, he would have haan
more or less conspicuous.
To-day we frequently lodge Amer,.
can sailors, and they are practically
all men who have not seen service in
the merchant marine prior to the ont.
break OF the war. 1t is a very fair
estimate to say that fully two and q
half times as many Americans are now
seafaring men as prior to the war
we can no longer say that the Auar,.
can Is a 1andlubber.'

BEST FERTILIZERS FOR CORN
Acid Phosphate, 200 Pounds to Acre,
Is Recommended by Expert Of
Tennessee Station.

By CHARLES A. MoOERs, Chemist and
Agronomfst, Tennessee Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station.)
Corn is a very important crop, but
one that Is low-priced, so that the
question as to the most profitable fer
tilizer is not always easy to answer.
Fertilizer experiments covering every
condition have not been possible, but
considerable evidence has been obtain
ed. With regard to phosphate, acid
phosphate In moderate quantity, say
200 pounds to the acre, is recommend
ed, and may be used by itself with as
good chance for profit as any other
material or combination Of materials
of equal money value; 1t may even
give greater profit, especially in the
case Of freshly cleared land. If light
dressing Of manure can be made, then
the plain acid phosphate is highly adj
visable as supplement to the manure,
which, as demonstrated in the potato
experiments, Is strengthened in it's
weakest point for soils like these. In
a similar manner acid phosphate Is
recommended for a green manure or
pasture crop which Is to be followed
by corn, the one application in that
case answering fairly well for the two
crops.
The experimental results do not war
rant anything more than very light
application of potash salt, say, 10
pounds per acre of muriate of potash
mixed with the acid phosphate.

PEANUTS AND COTTON
Goober Proving Valuable Crop
Where Boil WeeviI Abounds.
Nuts Being Bought for Manufacture Of
Oil Which Is Now Bringing High
Prices-Remarkable Develop
ment of Industry.

(By c, A. WHITTLE, Georgia College
Of Agriculture.)
The peanut is proving very val
liable substitute for cotton where the
boil weevil is very severe. r. L. Col
son Of Georgia put in So acres of pea
nuts. From these SO acres he sold
1000 bushels of peanuts at $1.25 per
bushel, which made nearly $1,000. But
that is not all. Some of the nuts that
were grown on the So acres help to
fatten 100 head of hogs, and the vines
were gathered for hay, and very good
hay 1t Is. He figures the $1,000 as
nearly q net profit. He claims that he
has made more from this tract than
he could possibly make from it even
when grown to long staple cotton and
without the boil weevil infestation.
The price paid for peanuts, of
course, is unusually high. The nuts
were bought By an Oil mill for the
manufacture of oil which Is now bring
ing very high prices along with cotton
seed Oil, because Of the war.
That the peanut can be looked to as
good substitute for cotton Is, how
ever, being quite generally believed
i'm the territory where the boil weevil
has induced crop Investigation. In
Texas where the boil weevil first APP
peared and where readjustments
have been longest in progress. there
has been q remarkable development of
the peanut industry. officials of the
Texas Industrial congress estimated
the land planted to peanuts In 1916
in Texas as 100000 acres. In 1910
there were only 10000 acres in pea
nuts.
Similar developments of the peanut
are taking place In Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Georgia. Peanut
meal is coming to be quite common on
the market as a cattle feed. 1t is
figured by farmers that when the price
of peanuts goes down, they will let
the hogs harvest them and make q sue
cess selling them IN the form Of pork.
