Agriculture)
There are some sections of the coun-
try that have become noted for the
quality of the live stock they pro-
duce. In most instances this is found
to be the result of concentrated eff
fort. The state of Wisconsin offers a
splendid illustration of what can be
accomplished through community
breeding associations. Here are to be
found 1876 organizations devoted to the
breeding of high-class live stock. OF
this number, 10S are promoting cattle
of the different dairy breeds; 2, beef
cattle; 10, horses; 2, swine; and II,
general live stock. These associations
have met with marked success and
prove conclusively that community
livestock breeding is not an expert
ment when thoroughly organized and
properly conducted. Livingston coun-
ty, Michigan, and considerable sec
ton of New York, particularly the re-
gion adjacent to Syracuse, are famous
for their dairy cattle. In Iowa promi-
nence has been gained in swine rails
ing. The bluegrass region of Ken
lucky, noted as the center of American
saddle-horse breeding, affords a fur
ther example of the success resulting
from unity of effort and purpose.
There are still other sections where
attention is being given to the pro-
ductlon of the different classes of live
stock. Each is noted as a breeding
center, and buyers who pay the high
est prices are attracted from other
states and even foreign countries.
Leader Is Necessary.
The organization of community or
cooperative live stock breeders asso-
citation requires the services of lead
er, as do all movements that have for
their object the Improvement of un-
satisfactory conditions. The leader
in an enterprise of this kind should
be one of the successful breeders of
the community-aggressi as well as
progressive. With such a man at the
head of the movement, little trouble
should be experienced in interesting
others and securing their cooperation.
A preliminary organization should be
effected, committee appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws, and a
definite breed selected which the asso-
citation is to promote.
The selection of breed is of great
Importance. If the best results are
to be gained, individual taste should
be disregarded and Il breed selected
which has proved profitable in the
g community. The action taken in this
respect should be unanimous, and
every effort should then be made in
Improving the type of stock to which
the organization is committed When

TAGGING OF SHEEP
is IMPORTANT WORK
Operation Is Simple and Consists
of Placing Animal on Side
and Removing Wool.

CBy r. Fl: WILLIAMS. Professor of AMI
mai Husbandry. University of Arizona)
All good shepherds ia Europe tag
their ewes. The operation is simple
and consists of placing the sheep on
its side and by means of hand shears
cutting away the soiled wool and ma
nure which may have accumulated
around the rear END. Anyone can per-
form this work and it is an especially
good method of keeping the sheep
clean and sanitary, and also one will
have less trouble at lambing time for
the lambs will more easily find their
way to the nipple If the tag ends have
been clipped from around the udder.
Very often young lambs will get lock
of wool in their mouths instead of the
teat, and they often suck In dangerous
amounts of wool which accumulate In
the stomach, and often cause death.
1t is probable that quite large per-
centage of the mortality in very young
lambs comes from this source.
1t will pay best 70 tag the ewes, but
many shepherds also tag the wethers,
rams and lambs. One will find that
the work of shearing is so much clean
er, and can be performed more rapidly
so that there is not much additional
work. When it comes to selling the
wool, one will easily secure more mon
ey for a clip that has been taken from
a well-tagged sheep. and in the future,
when wool Is bought on its merits,
this is bound to be an economic adj
vantage.

TEXAS TROOPERS FIRE ON
|, MEXICAN CATTLE MEN

Mission, Texas, July 19.-ln a bat
tie between members Of the Fourth
Tex. national guard at Ojo de Agna
this afternoon and Mexican bandits,
three of the latter were killed. None
Of the American soldiers was injured
The Mexicans fred across the river
and the Texans returned their fire.
The American river guard was rein
forced by, fifteen soldiers after the
first volley. The Mexican bandits, who
have had quarters close to Matamoras

across the border for weeks and the
Texas troops have maintained small
river guard.
Reinforcement from the Fourth
Texas national guard numbering
about 200 men have been rushed to
the seat Of the trouble.
The bandits who attacked the Texas
soldiers are made up of the worst
band of cut-throats in the state of Ia
maulipas. In addition to maintain
ing headquarters at Matamoras they
also have band camped near Camar-
gi.
Reports as to who fired the first
shot in the fry this afternoon are
conflicting. It is said, however, that
the river guard attempted to turn
back band Of bandits who were bent
on cattle stealing.
The Mexicans fired at the four OF
five members of the river guard; the
latter returned the fire and took to
cover. In the meantime reinforce
ments of fifteen men came to the aid
of the Texas troops and they went af-
ter the Mexicans, driving them back
across the river. Three Mexicans
were seen to fall. The Texas troops
nearly 800 strong, tonight are en-
camped in the vicinity of the battle
but will not attempt to cross to the

MAKING A LIFE.
Farm and Ranch.

We should remember that our neigh.
bors know US. They may not always
he sair in their estimate Of our activi.
ties, but they know our character and
are seldom deceived in our motives.
In addition to making a living on
the farm we should strive to make a
life. We should do the things that
help make the community, leave an
influence that is elevating among
young people, and thus develop into
ripe old age refined and benevolent
citizens.
Not all of our energies should be Ia
ken in making living. Some of the
thought ordinarily given to less impor-
tant things should be given to making
life.
Let the making of a life be para
mount among young people. If this
be done there will always be living
commensurate with the life-a living
that typifes and exacts the life that is
worth living.
This kind of character will be worth
more than the wealth that could be
accumulated and the end of such a
life will be the beginning. Such a
living makes life brighter and better.
Such living is worth making.-Farm

Oh, you young men of America
So young, so Vigorous, so brave
Who know the blessings of liberty
And the power of Him to save;
Whose land is the home of the chris
tan,
Where God delights to dwell
Not land ruled by kaiser
With the tyrant hand Of hell.
You have heard your country calling
And the people far, over the sea
Are suff FIRING and moaning snd dying
And calling with pitiful plea
For help to, dethrone the tyrant
And stay his murd'rous hand,
That monarchies and kingdoms may
vanish
And the world be a christian land.
You are going to the front with valor;
You fear not the soldiers grave;
And your sword and helmet clatter
AS you hurry, the world to save;
For the life of the nation is threatened
By thirsty Hohenzollern greed
For worldwide dominion
And one-man slavish creed.
You are going to the bloody battle,
But YOU go not all alone;
For the spirits Of dead heroes
Go with you and condone-
Your deeds for universal peace
And liberty of the world,
With suffrage bound in release
Under flag of democracy unfurled.
And when you've fought the battles
In air, en- sea, on land;
And you bave won the victory
Der savage Teuton band,
Then will the crown of power
Fall from the kaiser's head
And all the German Empire
Be numbered with the dead.
No longer shall a crown of gold
On bruitish, savage head
Legalize tyrant king
To dye the land bloody red;
Bu tall the world shall dwell in peace
Under democratic rule,
Like lot of worthy students
In wisely governed school.
) All honor to the soldiers brave,
Who dare to gain this good;
And honor to the Red Cross, too,
And the man who raises food;
For one is need to help the other
It takes them all to win
And each should do his part to help
The valient, fighting men.
On history's pages, through the ages,
In marble, book and story
Shall live the daring, noble deeds
That crown the men with glory.
Women, too, shall wear this crown,
For deeds that they have done;

DANGER SIGNAL FOR FARMERS

Here is warning we wish every
farmer in America could hear and
heed. Especially should such warn

vice as Col. E. Fl. R. Green is giving
Texas farmers telling them to plant
the whole earth in cotton next year
and the fence corners around it, and
risk buying their foodstuffs from
other sections.
If there ever was a time when the
farmer should make safety first" his
motto in business, that time is now.
The world can get along better with
out clothes for a while than it can
without foodstuffs and feedstuffs, and
SO, whenever the crash comes, cotton
prices are likely to drop more quickly
and to suffer longer than the prices
of foods and feeds.
Woe unto the farmer next fall if he
is forced to pay for everything out
Of his cotton crop when an over-pro-
duction of that crop and disturbed
financial conditions work together to
force down the pricel Surely we have
not so soon forgotten the lessons of
1914!

motto of business men generally, it
should ten times more emphatieally
be the motto of the southern cotton
