FARM NOTES

The feed that a COW uses to pro-
duce milk is that which she gets
in excess of her requirements to
keep alive. Then, the last few bites
she eats is the small part which
is converted into milk.
The successful dairyman grows
his own feeds and has a feed grow
ing program which furnishes plenti
full supply Of legumes, such as lespe-
deza, COW peas, soy, beans, velvet
beans and some Of the clovers.
The basis of good Mississippi
pasture is either Bermuda or carpet
grass. The crops that mix with
them well are lespedeza, bur clover,
hop clover, or black medic.
The farmer who is using system
of farming whereby he is building
up soils should consider the cow a
purchaser Of the surplus feeds. A
limited number of good cows will
help very materially in solving the
problem of marketing farm products
and furnish a constant weekly cash
income.
Cows producing 100 to $50 pounds
of butter fat annually will just
about pay for their keep. Cows
which will produce from 200 pounds
will pay profit of about $4,000 to
$4,000 and cows producing 300 pounds
of butter fat pay profit of about
$4,000 above feed costs.
A high producing bull is one of
the first essentials of building up
profits in dairying. The cooperative
Bull Association is the cheapest
means the small farmer has of having
access to the use Of such bull.
If you buy oranges or grapefruit
to burn the peel, as the Plant Board
has recently stopep and destroyed
shipments of Satsuma oranges from
Alabama infested with the Japa-
neese Camphor scale. This scale
feeds on more than 100 different,
and an infested orange peel careless
ly thrown in backyard hedge
might start this pest in Mississippi.
Now is a good time to cut out all
dead and blighted lmbes on pear
and apple trees, and remove all
shriveled or mummie peaches from
the trees. Prunee all the trees
before spraying and burn the prun-
ings. Dead limbs should be cut from
the body of the trees as smoothly
as possible, the cut disinfected with
q solution of cresote or corrosive
subhmate, and painted over at once
The twigs bearing the mummied
peaches should also be burned, as
they carry the spores Of brown rot
which will develop in the, warn
weather Of spring and summer ane

II you are going to plant any

take place in Madison Square Garden
on October 10, according to arrange
ments that are being made by Tex

Folurney.
This bout was originally scheduled
for October IL, but owing to the fact
that the Singular Senegalese became
involved in the law, due to boxing an
exhibition in the Lafayette theatre,
before he had obtained a license, the
first date was called off. There is
every indication now that the bout
will take place on the evening OF
October 10. Both Norfolk and Sikh
have signed their contracts and il
is very probable that the boxing com
will approve them. Sikh, who
will receive a license from the com

$4,000 DIAMOND ring

100 Per CENT GLASS

CHICAGO, Ills, Oct.-"North amt
South" Joseph Gazine wealthy Ital-
ian of Hammond, Louisiana, found
this out in Chicago. Marie Olmstead,
beautiful Colored girl of Louisiana,
had been kept in virtual slavery by
Grazine. In fact, the Louisianan, ac-
cording to evidence brought out in
the case, had special liking" for
the girl, who had been in his home,
where the wife is an invalid.
firing of the treatment of Grazine,
the girl came to Chicago. Detectives
were placed on her trail, as well as
members Of the Klux. They learned
of Miss Olmstead being in Chicago,
and asked the authorities for her re-
tention on charge of taking S..
900 diamond ring.
Grazine came to Chicago, surround
ed by battery of Southern lawyers.
Their case came up in Judge David's
court. The lawyers, with true south
ern and Klux standards of justice,
proceeded to show deep point on
why the girl should be sent back to
the commonwealth of rice fields.
One of the attorneys began to use
the term Niger" He was preem-
torially reprimanded by Judge David,
who informed the legal light that in
the city Of Chicago, all men and
women are referred to as "Mr. and
Mrs, regardless of nationality" and
if any further insult were INDUCED in,
someone would have to pay fine
for contempt.
False Charges Trumped
The upshot of the whole matter is:
1t was found that the affair had been
trumped up; that big diamond was
practically 100 per cent glass, and
that it had been presented to the girl
by Grazine. A watch was exhibited
with the initials of "M. O." which the
girl alleges had been given her by
Grazine.
The case developed into such
travesty, that the judge advised the
prosecutor to drop it, and urged the
attorneys for Miss Olmstead to turn
tables and bring suit against Grazine,
which they proceeded to do in the
sum of 100000.
