Enlisted Men Leave

There was much disappointment,
not unmixed with indignation, last
Friday afternoon, when the train
bearing Company d, which includes
a large number of volunteers from
Bon Homme county, passed through
here without stopping. When it was
learned that the train would pass
through Scotland some of our citi-
e n got in communication with the
regimental officers and secured their
consent to a short stop at this place.
Assurances were also received from
the train dispatcher at Sioux City
that the stop would be made, and
with these assurance preparations had
been made to present the boys with
numerous %delicacies. Those having
relatives in the company had prepared
individual baskets for them; the la
dies Of the civic league had prepared
chicken lunches, candies and other
delicacies, and the citizens had ex-
pended about $75 in the purchase of
fruits, tobacco, chocolate. and other
things to present to the entire com.
pany. Citizens of Tyndall had also
provided large quantities of similar
things which they brought here to pre-
sent to the company, about forty au-
toes coming from Tyndall bringing
friends to meet the boys. The rail
road yards were packed with people.

the train rushed through without q

Yankton in time to present the gifts

Comparatively few farms are adapt
ed to strictly special purposes and
fewer farmers are inclined to special
lied vocations. The income on the
farm is usually of larger value when
derived from several sources. The
maintenance of live stock is a neces-
sity in order to maintain fertility. The
production of live stock necessitates
grasses for pastures and meadows
which conserve and build up the soil
fertility. Crop rotation naturally fol-
lows.
The question arises as to what breed
Of live stock is best adapted to the
conditions and will insure the largest
returns Long experience has proved
the combination of beef and milk pro-
duction the most profitable and best
adapted to tile varying conditions in
all parts of the country. Here and
there a man devotes his entire atten-
ton and resources to beef making eX-
elusive dairying is engaged in by a
limited number; but the great mass
of farmers are neither inclined to nor
situated so that they can engage to the
best advantage in these individual or
specialized lines.
The breed of cattle that meets the
needs of this large aggregation of av-
erage farmers, that suits their condi-
tons, that may be relied upon to yield
a profitable return, is the breed that
experience has shown combine prof
liable yield of both beef and milk.
There are several breeds that combine
to a greater or less degree these char
acteristics. The Shorthorn is the
most widely disseminated and has
been bred in greater numbers for
many generations. The distinctive
characteristics of the breed are adapt
ed to the conditions described. When
not in milk the cows readily take on
flesh, and if occasionally one does n0t
WELD a liberal flow, she quickly coz
vertS the feed consumed into beef and
is thus working toward the profit marx
through one channel or the other all
of the time. The calves, If the owner
desires to dispose Of them, are eagerly
sought for feeders and butchers at
advanced prices. If they are devel-
oped on the farm they make liberal
gains and attain larger weights at a
given age than most other breeds. The
quality Of flesh has always made. the
Shorthorn popular at the packing cen
tiers. Combined with these advantages,
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1917-03-30

/ the Shorthorn has docile tempera-
ment that has long been factor in its
popularity. Shorthorn blood has a
very decided potency and improves all
cIasses of stock upon which it may
lbe used.
The Live Stock Journal, London,
England, July 20 issue, states edito-
rally as fellows:
In the matter of the adaptability
of breeds let it never be forgotten that
the great source of improved beef
blood the world over has been the
Shorthorn. The milk stock Of New
England and the Longhorn of Texas
both received their first improvement
through the heritage from Bates and
Booth and the Ceilings. In the blue
grass region the sons and daughters
of Durham found their best environ
ment, and the Shorthorn became then,
as it still remains, the backbone Of
the corn belt and the stay of the gen
eral farmer. In the West and South
west the first warming up given the
scrub and Mexican cattle was at the
hands of this breed; the rise in the
beef industry in the Argentine is al
most inseparable from the expansion
Of the Shorthorn Interests, While from
20 to so per cent Of the Australasian
chilled beef is evolved from grass be-
meath red, white and roam pelts. In
such a manner this British breed of
generalized achievement encircles
the world. Its adaptability grants it
the pioneering quality; its all-around
Usefulness DEGREES its pernanence."
The Polled Durham is the hornless
Shorthorn, and a fayorite with many
on account of it's hornless feature. The
red P0lled breed is also a fayorite in
some sections and combines the beef
and milk characteristics. But the
Shorthorn has been the favorite from
one end of the country to the other
because of the several qualities that
are combined and that are produced
from generation to generation, work.
ing Improvement wherever applied.
1t is this dual purpose characteristic
th..t suits the purposes of the great
mass Of farmers who, for various rea-
sons, do not engage in specialized
farming. Mixed husbandry has long
been recognized as the foundation Of
our agricultural prosperity and the
Shorthorn has admirably and success
fully contributed in large measure to
the advancement of diversified FARM
ing

A TRIBUTE TO A DOG

The following beautiful tribute to
a dumb animal came from. lips Of
the late Senator Graham Vest
The occasion was u trial over the
killing Of a dog, which was held in
"a Missouri town when he was a
young lawyer.
He appeared for the plaintiff and
won the case with this tribute and
without further argument.
Gentlemen Of the jury:
The best friend a man has in the
world may turn against him, and
become his enemy. His son or
daughter that he has reared with
loving care may prove ungtateful
Those who are nearest and dearest
to us, those whom we trust with our

on their knees to do us honor when

The one absolutely unselfish
