BEGINNERS SHOULD
NOT OVERSTOCK

There is a tendency on the part OF
beginners in live stock husbardry to
overstock before being possessed OF
the requisite knowledge of how to
proceed successfully in this line
farming practice" says W. II. Dalrym
pie, Of the Louisiana State University
THE successful raising OF live stock
may be considered a speciality. and
those who would succeed should begi-
in a relatively small way and incr, ase
the number of their animals as they.
Themselves, gain in knowledge and ex-
perience.
in the case of hogs, for example,
this applies in very pronounced man
ner, and the error of overstocking with
brood-sOws is more likely to occur
than in the case Of any other animals
of the farm.
The production of hogs at this time
is extremely important. and yet the be-
ginner with too many sows may not
"ucceed nearly so well, in the ultimate
ou'como. &C tho man who makes rea-
sonably small beginning and grows I'D
with thc business.
Hogs, under ordinary conditions.
are very prolific animals, and their
natural increase would be liable to
overwhelm the beginner who was not
familiar with their necessary require
merfs for best results. The hog own
er must always consider the POSSIBLE
ity of disease attacking his herd. and
ne must likewise be ever on the alert
to see that food provision is made for
the increasing number OF animals. In
short, the farmer must be familiar
with the principal details of the bust
ness before IT is safe for him to un-
dertake hog raising on a large scale:
and the more intelligent and safer
way for him to proceed would be to
procure a few sovs only, and a male
animal. ard gradually increase his
breeding stock as his information in
crcas"s and he knows how to profita.

Cheers From All Shores.

The entrance to the harbor is a
strait mile wide, with forts browning
the towering cliffs on each side.
Through this avenue the pageant
moved, each of the ten forts contribut-
ing it's cannonade and the ten Ameri-
can battleships answering gun for gun.
As the fleet neared the inner harbor
the land batteries and the assembled
war craft took up the thunderous sa-
lutte, while the quays, the hills, and the
terraces rang with cheers. At the
same time all the war craft, merchant
men, and transports dressed ship and
manned the yards, and the strains Of
the American anthem fioated over the
water, mingllng with the roar of the
guns and the shouts of the vast
crowds.
The George Washington came to
anchor mile off shore, while the bat.
tleships ranged themselves In double
column on either side.

and the president delivered a brief
reply, thanking Mayor Goude for the
welcome. He then drove through the
cheering crowds TO the railway sta

A singular feature of the welcome
to the president was the suppressed
interest of the German prisoners. 1t
was evident that their interest in the
visitor was as keen as that of the
huge crowd thronging the town, but
the authorities kept these Germans In
the background.

limited States Raises Bulbs.

Among many things the United
States has learned TO do for Itself Is
the raising of seeds, bulbs and plants
formerly imported from Europe. When
II became difficult to procure azaleas
from Belgium and tulips, hynclnths'
narclssi, etc, from Holland, Americans
began to experiment with cultlvating
these bulbs and plants In their own
country. And they've succeeded. They'll
be able to rcstock the barren Hover
gardens of Europe later on. The ia
cihc coast has proved the most ad'
vantageous region for this new Indus
try.
