BREED MARES TO GOOD SlREs
Market Demands Should Be Carefully
Considered When Mares Are Sent
to Stallion.

There should never be a time when
the sires to which mares are to be bred
should be more carefully considered
than the present year. The last five
years have seen gradually increas-
ing difference between the price of
good and of inferior horses. During
the last year those horses and mules
which are good enough to do some job
we'll have found ready sale. while 9th
ers have been drug on the market,
and have lost money for the men who
produce them.
A good useful draft horse, or use
full mule, meets n ready demand, but
the culls and inferior horses and mules
do not. Therefore. to realize the
greatest profit, says f. A. Trowbridgc
of the University of Missouri College
Of Agriculture. prejudice and wrong
conceptions can well be laid aside, and
the market demands can be carefully
considered when mares are sent to the
stallion or jack.

VARIETY or FEEDS FAVORED
All Farm Stock viii Need Something
More Than Corn Next Winter
Leeumes Essential.

The pigs, calves, colts, cows giving
milk and hens that lay eggs Will need
something more than corn and corn
fodder next winter. No, cotton
seed meal will not entirely sup
ply the deficiency, although it will
help. Corn. corn fodder, sorghum or
other grass hay and cottonseed meal
Will enable the animal to live and
some of them to do fairly well, but
TO complete the feeds, balance the
rations and supply the bone and mus
cle-making materials liberal allow
ance of legumes Is essential. We
need a rich protein feed to take the
place Of cottonseed meal where 1t
cannot be safely used to supply the
full needs Of the animal. Soy beans
supply good rich protein concen-
trate and there are numerous legumes
FOR furnishing a rich protein rough
age. We will be prepared to grow
live stock when we plant half the land
now planted to corn to soy beans and
other legumes and make the other
half Weld 30 bushels of corn or more
per acre. Until then, most profit IN
live stock in the South will come from
the grazing of cattle on our cheap
lands.-The Progressive Farmer.

Moving Suggestions.
Farmers who have bees 10 move will
find the following suggestions helpful /:
In moving bees, close the entrance with
screen wire before day, when all bees
will be inside Take Il strip OF screen
wire three inches wide and two inches
longer than the bee entrance, bend
over the ends SO that II is exactly the
length of the entrance, then bend the
strip IengthWiSe into q ' shape. and
push II tightly into the entrance. This
closes the entrance and serves for ven
tilation. Be sure that there are no
other openings left. Run baled-hay
wire lengthwise around the hive. draw
Ing and twisting 1t up gently. Run an
other crosswise in the same way. Have
wagon close at hand with plenty OF
hay. straw or small brush to relieve
the Jar. Set the hives crossways, far
enough apart to crowd a partly filled
sack Of straw, leaves or brush between
them and the sides Of the wagon bed.

"Dressmakina Not an Art"

That dressmaking is not an art, but
labor, was held by a jury in the United
States district court recently, in the
case of Albert de Vroye, husband Of
Marie de Vroye. fashionable dress
maker, says the ST. Louis Star. He
was fined $1,000 for violation Of fed
eral statute forbidding the importation
Of contract labor into the United
States.
The statute leaves several excep-
tions, including actors and artists.
Shepard Barclay. attorney for De
Vroye, cOntended a skilled dreSsmaker
Is an artist.
The prosecuting witness was n Bel
gian woman. She testified that in 1911
she answered an advertisement insert
ed by De Vroye in Brussels news
paper for a premier dressmaker, cap
able of designing and executing dress
patterns. She testified she was hired
by De Vroye in Brussels at $40 francs
(about S72) month and brought to
the United States.

Every beekeeper should bend every
energy this year to increasing the pro-
duction of honey. He will not only find
It profitable. since prices will doubt
less be good, but he will be aiding the
country by providing q product OF high
food value when other sugars are
scarce.
Honey Is better than sugar. 1t Is
more easily digested. 1t can be used
In place OF sugar or sirup. Enough
honey goes to waste each season on
every farm to relieve the high price
Of sugar in the home. Let the bees
save this waste. In most recipes,
honey can be substituted for sugar
with an Improvement Of the finished
product. Conditions incident 20 the
war point 70 sugar shortage. so It
IS important that beekeepers increase
the yield Of honey. This can be ac-
complished by enabling the bees 70
more thoroughly pasture every acre or
cultivated or waste land.
Help Fruit Production.
A few good stands of bees on every
farm will help increase the yield OF
fruits and other crops by the distrihu-
ton OF pollen from blossom to blossom,
besides storing surplus honey. Where
there Is q continuous supply of honey
producing plants, such as fruit, berries,
linden, white and sweet cIOvers. with
the numerous wild flowers throughout
the season, above fifty pounds or more

GROW PLENTY OF R0UGHAGE
Cut Down on Cotton Acreage and
Plant Enough In Peas and Sor-
ghum or Stock Feed.

The all-cotton farmer must pull fod-
der or buy roughage, both very ex-
pensive. Fodder pulling has very
strong hold on the small farmer and
the .all-cotton farmer. There is not
any better way to break away from
this habit than to plant cowpeas and
sorghum for hay. AS long as the farm
er makes no effort to grow hay he SIM
ply must pull fodder or buy hay. To
produce hay is cheaper than either.
Cut down on some OF the cotton acre
age and plant enough in peas and sor-
ghum to furnish sufficient roughage
without the fodder. Learn to grow
more hay. and soon fodder pulling will
lose its charm. Certainly 1t IS a very
unpleasant undertaking during the hot
days Of August and September.

he FOUND WAY TO WAKE HER
Minister. Annoyed by Woman Who
Persisted In Sleeping During
Service, Had a Bright Idea.

The minister OF L Is one of
those quietly humorous characters of
whom there are many in the church.
He has deal 10 contend with IN
his preaching, and the chief matter he
has to combat Is sleep.
Many OF his hearers begin to doze
the minute he starts preaching. The
minister arranged with the yerger that
in future he should endeavor to wax
en- sleepers from the pulpit.
He managed this successfully for
some time. but one Sunday he failed
to rouse an old woman. Well-known
innkeeper IN the parish. At length.
just as he wss about to yield, Il bright
plea struck him.
I'm waken her this time" he ex-
claimed.
Striking the side OF the pulpit firm
ly with his clenched fist, he called out
"Anither pint here, Janet" whereupon
the good old innkeeper started up and
replied, Coming, sir: coming"

When all is carefully done, hitch the
team to the wagon and drive to where
the bees are to be placed. tnhitch
before doing anything else. Then set
all the hives in permanent place as
nearly a rod apart as convenient. Take
off the baled-hay wires. Place a wiSp
of loose hay, straw, -rnSs or fine brush
close up in front Of the entrance, and
open the entrance about two inches 81
first. The trash in front of the en-
trance causes every bee to take notice
and mark the new location. If the en-
trance were thrown wide open, the
bees would come out too fast, and soon
find themselves lost In midair; and II
not too far removed from the original
place, would go back and find them
selves homeless Move bees in the cool
