DO NOT BUTCHER THE
YOUNG FEMALE STOCK
Poor Practice, in Spite OF the Present
High Prices.

The prices obtainable for cattle and
hogs at the present time offer q great
temptation to sell, even the female
stock, that is hard to overcome. And
yet if we give little thought to the
future, ones better judgment would
certainly suggest the retention of a
sufficient number of the younger fe-
male animals to maintain the supply
and meet the demand for next year
at least, if not for longer.
The writer is led to make this sug-
gestion from information received
that great numbers of cattle and hogs
are. being sent out of the state, ire
spective Of sex, due no doubt to the
profitable prices that can at present
be had for them.- There is an old
saying that money counts" but how
long is it going to count" IL our
stockmen dispose of their female
foundation and afterwards ind out
when too late that they have deprived
themselves of the necessary females
to breed from and are short of stock
to sell another year when prices will
be just as high, if not higher?
II this practice is persisted in it is
going to result in a. shortage of meat
animals when they may be needed
even more than at the present time.
In other words, it is not going to con-
serve the meat supply nor is 1t ulti-
mately going to be the most profit
able to our stock owners.
It may be all right to get rid Of q
reasonable number of the old and un-
profitable female stun, but there
should be rigid line drawn at the
younger female stock If we hope to
maintain and increase the supply and
meet the future demands for meat
animals which seems not only the
common sense proposition, but a pa
triotic and profitable one-W. H.

Science, Louisiana State University.

Regulating Cotton Shipments.

Washington. ID. c., Sept. 3.-Fairfax
Harrison, Chairman of the Railroads
War Beard, authorizes the following:
with the movement Of the cotton
crc., scheduled tc begin this fall at Il
time when Il combination of Govern
nient and commercial business will be
bringing tremendous pressure to bear
upon the railroads. the Commission on
Tar Service Of the Railroads War
Board has issued instructions prohib-
iting the shipping of cotton in guam
titles of less than sixty-five bales per
car aud requiring as many more to lie
loaded as the size of the car furnished
will permit.
Notice to this effect has just been
sent to buyers Of cotton. together with
a request that they. place orders for
their requirements Oh, a basis of not
less than sixty-five bales or multiples
thereof. In the Southwest and Miss
issippi Delta districts the average car.
will lead sixty-five bales and in the
Southeast district the average car will
load seventy-five bales. Consequently,
buyers are asked to order in multiples
Of sixty-five from the Southwest and
in multiples of seventy-five from the
Southeast districts.
.'The New England territory will be
taxed to the maximum capacity of
facilities this fall and the acceptance
IF freight by the railroads serving the
territory north cf the Ohio and Poto-
mae rivers will have to be carefully
regulated"

Portable Fort to Raise Ships.

The following Washington dispatch,
Of especial interest ut this time. was
published in the Shreveport Times
some weeks ago. As to what the sue
ccssful operation of this device would
mean te England. France, the United
States. and, in fact, all nations, the
reader will have to speculate. Ger
tainly it would mean the reclaiming of
many fortunes. Where vessels are
sunk in water shallow enough for op-
Grafton 10y divers it would seem to be
an easily possible means of proceed
ure. Let us hope that this inventor
has hit. upon Il big find. Read below
the description of the big floats and
the i,lan of procedure:
The wealth of shipping sent to the
bottom of the oeean by German T-boats
may get be saved.
An invention is being tried cut on IL
river near here with the purpose Of
Ferfecting it and making 1t suitable
for deep sea salvage work. 1t is call
ed Il portable submarine fort and is
the idea of Carl J. Linquist.
What makes engineers and shipping
men here believe the millions of tons
of SHIPPING may yet be reclaimed is
the simplicity of design and apparent
practicahility Of this submarine fort.
I.inguist has tested is under all CON
ditions he has thought possible. and
says it has worked to his satisfaction.
The fort il a massive double steel
chamber built in sections, SO it may I've
adjusted to different depths. At the
base of the chamber is the end of u
lonteon or flat bottom, which is hing
ed, SO that the chamber may rest
lengthwise on the pontoen when not
working. In this way the fort ii
towed to the s,inkell liner.
Just before the spot is reached, the
base of the chamber is filled with wa
ter and allowed to settle until the
chamber is upright, and the pontoon
is sinking horizontally. The chamber
is filled until the pontoon has reached
the depth of the wreckage.
Cables hold the chamber and RON
teon taut. Others are let out by the
direction of diver at the bottom Of
the fort. passed around the sunken IL
ner.
Many Of the ships snnk by subms,-
rines in the Atlantic are small enough
to be s;tlvaged by one Of these subnIl-
rine forts, but two forts may be used
together when the work Of salvaging
Is too heavy for one. In this case the
forts work end to end, so the h0istins
cables Of each may intertwine about
the wreckage and the salvaging be III
yided equally between the TIM.

SAVE FEED BY
USING THE SILO

The silo offers the best means Of
conserving the farm feed supply. It
enables the farmer to save the feed
stuffs for the future use Of his farm
animals in much the same manner
that the canning machine enables the
housewife to save the vegetables and
fruits for the future use Of the, fam
lily. The present and prospective high
prices and the growing demand for
farm products of all kinds make it at
once to the profit and the duty oil
farmers to increase in every way the
efficiency Of their operations. To the
dairy farmer, at least, the silo is es-
sential to efficiency. It's advantages
are too numerous to fully enumerate
here. Suffice it to say that expert
ments have proved that silage will
greatly reduce the cost of feed for
dairy cows and increase the milk pro-
duction. It is a palatable feed, keeps
the stock in thrifty condition, and
the young stock growing all winter.
It is more conveniently fed than hay
or corn fodder. Silage enables one to
keep a larger number of live stock on
a given area of land than may be
kept on forage crops cut for hay. II
furnishes succulent feed during the
summer when drouths frequently oc.
cur. It prevents the waste OF corn
cobs, stalks and overripe fodder that
would otherwise not be eaten by the
animals.
Il you contemplate building a silo,
write to the Extension Division of the
Louisiana State University, Baton
Rouge. for complete information,
which will be furnished free Of
charge.

IS THE COMMON CUR
WORTHY OF HIS KEEP?

The writer is lover of the dog.
However. there are dogs and dogs,
and the greatest drawback to success
ful sheep husbandry in Louisiana, by
keeping the majority Of our farmers
from raising sheep and wool. Is the
useless and worthless dog. Therefore.
the important question at this. time, is,
can we afford to permit the worthless
dog to stand in the way Of our In
creasing the mutton and wool supply
OF our people. which is. and will con
tinue to be, SO urgently needed?
Further, a lot Of useless dogs.
around country places especially, are
not only liable to get the sheep-kill-
ing habit, but they have to be fed, and
much of the food they consume Is in
the nature Of human diet which might
be used for that purpose. In fact, Il
has been estimated that the dogs OF
this country consume enough food OF
this character that would feed an
army of more than two million men.
Is it right or patriotic at this time,
then, to continue to feed hundreds.
perhaps thousands, of worthless dogs
on food that is suitable for human
consumption; and that not only de.
stroy, but prevent the raising of one
OF OAR most valuable food. animals, ir-
respective Of the wool that the sheep
and lambs would be capable Of pro-
ducing?
The subject is one Of too serious ma
ture at this time to permit sentiment.
in favor Of the cur dog, to outweigh
the urgent necessity for an immediate
increase in the peoples foood and
wool supply.-W. H. Dalrymple, De-
partment of Veterinary Science, Louis
lana State University.
