CROSSING FLORIDA
AND HINDOO CATTLE
tAssociatea pressJ

Okeechobee, Aug. 1.-The success
of experiments to improve the beef
and rustling qualities of native cattle
by cross-breeding with the Zebu, or
Brahma, cattle of India, is reported
by Lytle Hull, manager of the South
ern cattle ranch here. There is a
scarcity of the Indian pure breds, ac-
cording to Mr.. Hull, but the seven
eights and three-quarter breds are not
uncommon and he has acquired nearly
300 of this type. The Indian cattle
are virtually free Of ticks, he says,
which is attributed to an oily sub
stance exuded by the cattle. Mr.. Hull
says the Indian cattle have inherent
rustling qualities and thrive on a
ration that will starve goat"
The valuable characteristics of the
Brahma cattle are! transmitted to the
offspring, according to Mr.. Hull, and
experiments have proved, he adds,
that the strain of the Indian cattle
predominates in the hybrid after
cross breeding.
He describes the Brahma as Eek
tremely hardy" cattle. due to the
"hardships their ancestors have un-
dergone in resisting the droughts,
floods, insect pests and general condi-
tions in India"
s'The Brahma tendencies seem to
predominate," he says, "where there
is but slight trace of the Brahma
blood. A cross or rather an infusion
of the Indian blood into the native
herds makes an ideal range and beef
breed. Florida cattle are miniature
beeves, being well shaped. broad and
stocks. By crossing we enlarge upon
these qualities and add the best ones
of the Indian stock.
During the time we have used the
Brahma stock we have found that in
crossing it with the milking strains of
this country, we transmit the rustling
qualities, reduce the quantity of milk
which is natural, crossing beef and
milking strain. but improve upon the
richness in the majority of cases"

chicIweed 4 Pest In Lawna.


The most successful method of COM
batting common chickweed In lawns,
according to specialists of the United
States Department OF Agriculture, is
TO rake out as much Of the weed as
practicable in the early spring, using
fne-tooth garden rake. This viii
seriously retard the growth of the
weed. Commercial fertilizer should
be heavily applied Immediately after
raking and the lawn literally seeded
with a good lawn-grass mixture. The
heavy growth of grass which should
result win tend to crowd out the shall
Iow-rooted chickweed. Constant NOW
ing and watering throughout the grow
ing season win hamper the spread of
the pest. The lawn should also be
rolled each spring.
One method of destroying chickweed
is to allow chickens TO have access TO
the lawns early in the spring. Exten-
sive experiments have been made with
chemicals for destroying chickweed,
but without marked success.

Cultivate Young Trees.

Fruit trees should be cultivated dur
ing the growing season, as carefully
as corn is cultivated. The soil sheuld
be puIverized to conserve the moisture
and to prevent the growing Of grass
and weeds. Hoe the soil immediate
Iy around the trunk, which cannot be
cultivated by horse cultivation This
cultivation should cease the middle
or latter part Of July. This win give
the tree time to harden. Ceasing eul-
tivation will cause the tree to stop
growing and prevent the succulent con-
ditlon, which would cause winter kill
ing. An application Of barn-yard ma
