Every inch of rise in the Mississippi
river here adds acres Of land to that
covered outside OF the levees with
water as the flood stage of 50 feet
has been passed and the river is now
out of its banks and backing up against
the levees. The river was 35.5 at I
a. m, Tuesday.
Normal weather prevails on the up

pectation that the few showers pre-
dicted for Tuesday will in any way
affect the high water here before the

cording to S. c. Emery, local forecas-

height that viii be reached here about
Friday. At first there was an indi-
cation of about 3S feet. but precipita-
tion above was far below normal and
evaporation so great In all the lower
reaches that S7,5 probably will be the
maximum. :.
OF course there is no danger to levees
at such a stage, the amount of seepage
will be negligible and the crest will

which might fall above could send

view. For fall and early winter calves

should be bred during February and
March. For spring calves February

more desirable date to have the calves
dropped. the cows should be bred dur
ing May and June. Where milk for
family use during winter months is
not an important consideration cows
may be more cheaply wiptered and
calves escape flies ard hot weather
when dropped at that time. In all
breeding operations pure-bred sires
only should be used.
Breeders of pure-bred cattle, who
desire to grow calves for exhibition,
should breed their cows from the list
to the 18th of December to produce
calves Of senior classification, and
from the LIST to the 18th Of April for
calves of junior rating.

in feeding value as well. 1t is usuf dy
advisable to have some other stock ifis
the pastures with the hogs to eat the
coarser plants. Cattle are pest suited
for this purpose.
1t is impossible to state how many
animals per acre, will be supported by
permanent pasture. In most cases
it is advisable to have some of the
best supplementary forage crops TO
Craze in addition to the pasture. A
safe rule is to have at least one acre
of good permanent pasture for each
brood sow kept. OF course this acre
age could be reduced or the number
of hogs increased where a. complete
succession OF supplementary forage
crops is raised or where the land is
very productive. A greater area should
be allowed if the grazing is poor.
