Stocker Steer* in a Kentucky Pasture.
(Prepared by the United States Depart¬
ment of Agriculture.)
In the cotton-growing sections of the
South comparatively few cattle have
been kept, and they have not usually
been regarded as profitable. Yet It is
obviously to the farmer's advantage to
be able to supply his family with an
abundance of dairy products, and, if
in addition, he raises calves that some
one will wish to buy he will find that
this can be done at little or no cost.
At, the present time the United
States does not produce enough meat
to feed its own people; in consequence
every calf worth feeding for beef can
be sold for a good price. Ordinary
cows, however, bred to a good bull
will produce calves that are worth
twice as much as those cows bred to
any little scrub that may be near at
band.
For a good calf eight or nine months
old, men who make a business of feed¬
ing cattle will pay from $20 to $30.
These men, however, will not put
themselves to the expense of hunt¬
ing for such animals; they will buy
only in neighborhoods where a num¬
ber can be secured at one time. To
obtain the best results, therefore, it
is important that a whole community
decide to improve its cattle. But where
a start has been made the rapidity
with which the idea spreads is re¬
markable.
Although the average farmer can¬
not afford by himself the expense of
a good bull to breed his cows to, the
organization of a bull club will enable
him to secure the services of one at
a comparatively low figure. For exam¬
ple, a good beef bull may cost $150.
Four of them would do for 200 cows,
so that if a club be formed of men
owning in the aggregate that number
each would have to pay three dollars
for each of his cows, The club may
be divided into four sections or
“blocks,” and a bull assigned to each,
the bulls being changed around at the
end of every two years. In this way.
If nothing goes wrong, it will be eight
years before new purchases are nec¬
essary. The old bulls can then be fat¬
tened and sold.
In such a plan it is obviously neces¬
sary that the members decide to use
the same breed and keep to their de¬
cision; otherwise at the end of a few
years they will have a lot of cattle
not much better than the scrubs they
started with. Herefords, Aberdeen-
Anguq, Shorthorn (Durham), Red Poll
or Devon ull have their own qualities.
The Herefords and Devons are the best

grazers, but Shorthorn and Red Poll
cows the best milkers. The Aber-
deen-Angus are good grazers and fat¬
ten well. Farmers' bulletin 612,
“Breeds of Beef Cattle,” which can be
had on application to the United
States department of agriculture, con¬
tains information of use in reaching a
decision, but the county agent, or tha
state agricultural college, should be
consulted. The decision is an impor¬
tant one.
If, for any reason, the formation of
a bull club is not possible, another
way to get service to a good bull is to
patronize one owned by some stock¬
man in the neighborhood. Service
fees of one to two dollars are usually
charged, in the case of a club a
somewuat smaller fee should be
charged the members and paid into
the club treasury. The man who keeps
the bull should be allowed free serv-
ice.
If it is worth while io have good cat¬
tle, it is worth while to take good
care of them. The bull requires a
good pasture for grazing and exer¬
cise, and during the breeding season
enough grain to keep him in good con¬
dition. The grain should be fed
about a month before the breeding sea¬
son opens. At other times plenty of
pasture in summer and cowpea hay in
winter with a liberal allowance of si¬
lage will be sufficient.
The cows also should have pasture
during the summer, but this should be
real pasture with Bermuda grass and
lespedeza, and not a barren lot which
offers only shade and water. The
whole question of forage crops and
pastures is, however, a most impor-

tant one for the South, and deserves
special attention.
In addition to the pasture, if the
cow is milked during the summer she
should have some cottonseed or a lit-
tie cottonseed meal, a little corn, or
some other form of feed which may
be available. In the fall and winter
when the soil is dry, oats or some oth¬
er cover crop will provide good graz¬
ing. At milking time she should
have some good cowpea, lespedeza or
Bermuda hay and some cottonseed.
Calves should be turned out on oats,
rye, wheat, or crimson clover as soon
as possible. The green feed will do
wonders. Fuller details in regard to
this whole question of beef raising on
the farm are contained in the United
States department of agriculture’s
farmers’ bulletin 580, “Beef Produc¬
tion in the South."
HINTS ON RAISING PEANUTS
Valuable Crop in South and Southwest
Overlooked by Many Farmers—
Always in Demand.
Peanuts are a very valuable crop in
the Southwest and South, where the
soil is light and the climate friendly,
but a great many farmers do not seem
to know it.
The nuts can be raised more cheap¬
ly and more easily than corn and they
always bring a good price.
Both horses and cattle are fond of
hay, and it makes excellent roughage.
Peanuts are one of the best crops
going for boys, because they seem to
take more interest in this than in any
other crop on the farm—particularly if
they are allowed to have the proceeds,
which they should have.
The way to start is to get perfectly
good seed. The nuts should be
smooth, of good size, and free from
any blemish.
In Kansas and Missouri the seed
should be planted about the last of
April, but in Virginia they are often
planted earlier. Do not plant until the
ground has become warm.
Plant two seeds in a hill, and make
the hills three l’eet apart, or they can
be planted in checkrows.
Keep the ground loose and mellow
with cultivator and hoe until the plant
begins to make little rootlike pods
which later develop into nuts. After
that all the work that is necessary is
enough to keep down the weeds,
In the South many growers cover
the bloom as soon as it develops, but
in Kansas that is seldom done, and
good crops are raised there.
Peanuts are harvested with a four-
tined fork. The fork is stuck into the
ground under the hill, which is then
gently loosened up and pulled out with
the hands.
The nuts should be placed in a dry
room—the hayloft makes a good store¬
house—and when they are thoroughly
dry and clean they are ready for mar¬
ket.
Nuts should be put up in bags hold¬
ing about one hundred pounds.
HARMFUL IN COTTON FIELDS
Innocent Looking Violets Afford Op¬
portunity for Red Spider to Work
—Eradication Is Urged.
Violets growing around a cotton
field seem to give another cotton pest,
the red spider, an opportunity to
work ,and the agricultural department
recommends the destruction of this
harmless-appearing flower to control
the spiders. Other measures suggest¬
ed as a result of investigations in
South Carolina are the destruction of
winter food plants and pekeweed
around fields, the plowing of wide dust
barriers around isolated infested
places, and spraying with potassium
sulphide.
Shelter the Machinery.
The man who lets his plows stand
in the field during the winter should
remember that manufacturers have
not yet discovered iron and steel that
will not rust.
A BAD CASE
AND ITS RELIEF
Lady Tells Details of Ten Years
Of Suffering Which Now Lies
Behind Her.
Wallace, Va.—Mrs. Mary Vest, of
this town, says: “About ten years ago,
I had very poor health, and for five
years it steadily got worse. I could
not stand on my feet. I got so 1 could
only drag about in the room. Most
of the time 1 was not able to do my
work.
I had terrible bearing-down pains,
my back ached all the time and was
very weak. I could scarcely carry
anything and suffered agony when I
lifted anything. The muscles In my
abdomen were so weak I could scarcely
lift myself up straight, and I thought
I would surely grow crooked. I had
difficulty in walking, it was so painful.
I suffered in hips and back and could
hardly raise up at all. At times, I
couldn’t sit on the chair—would have
to lie down. I was in such agony. I
i ust sat around and cried,
At this time, about five years ago,
1 began to take Cardui, at my mother’s
insistence. After two or three weeks'
use I saw an Improvement. The pains
got less gradually until they disap¬
peared. In two months I could walk
without pain and could do most of my
work. For about three years my Im¬
provement was steady and continued
until I had back my health and
strength.
The cure has been permanent, for I
have been in good health for the past
two years, due to my having taken
Cardui, which effected the cure.”)

GIVES $20,000 TO THE POPE
Story Reveals Characteristics of the
Present Occupant of the Pon¬
tifical Throne.
An anecdote is being told about the
pope which shows his natural simplic¬
ity of manners. Since his childhood
his holiness has been a great friend ot
a Genoese nobleman who was in the
habit of calling him by his Christian
name and used the diminutive of
James, “Giacomino,” corresponding to
the English “Jimmy.” This nobleman
was recently received in audience by
the pope, who when he saw hiip-kneel
down said: “No, no; Jimmy won’t al¬
low you to do that.”
The pope and his friend had a long
talk and the nobleman, who is very
rich, asked the pope to allow him to
present him with some gift. “I have
a splendid old silver service worthy of
a pope and I want to give it to you,”
said the nobleman. “No, thank you,”
replied the pope, “I have no use for a
silver service; what I need is hard
cash, which is more useful for the
church.” The nobleman asked per¬
mission to sign a check there and then
and gave it to the pope. He drew it
for $20,000, as that was what the sil¬
ver service was worth.
True Generosity.
Mary—Did you give anything to the
poor this winter?
Hazel—Yes; I gave my old shoes.
Mary—Well, there’s nothing small
about that kind of charity.
Stupid.

arm around me three times.”

GUNNING FOR THE AIRSHIPS
Modern Warfare Has Developed New
Field That Calls for Scientific
Marksmanship.
The advent of the aeroplane and the
airship has introduced a hard prob¬
lem for the rifleman whose duty it Is
to bring down hostile craft of this
kind, says Popular Mechanics. Even
with its enormous speed the bullet
discharged by a modern rifle is not
fast enough for the aeroplane, as has
been discovered in the European war,
but the expert riflemen who are con¬
stantly on the watch for hostile air
craft are fast learning the require¬
ments for hitting these swiftly moving
targets. Ho no longpr aims at an
aeroplane when trying to bring it
down, but at a point about six lengths
ahead of the machine. The airman
running the hostile craft also knows
this and, when under fire, seldom flies
far in a straight line if he can help it,
but follows a zigzag course.
The Zeppelin is a much slower-mov¬
ing craft and can be “plugged” about
the center of the envelope if the rifle¬
man aims at its nose.

The Shot That Missed.
In controversy it is better to be in¬
tellectually honest than to be consis¬
tent.
In an ecclesiastical discussion that
occurred at one of the general assem¬
blies of the Presbyterian church in the
United States Doctor’Krebs was press¬
ing his antagonist, Doctor Breckin¬
ridge, hard with his authorities, and at
last, as the New York Times relates,
came dbwn on him with this: “And
now I will proceed to quote Breckin¬
ridge against Breckinridge.”
Without rising from his seat, Doctor
Breckinridge instantly retorted, “And
you could not possibly cite an author¬
ity that would have less weight with
me!”
Fiction and Reality.
It is a simple truth to say that many
things happen in fiction which would
be quite impossible In fact, as any
censor knows. It is in failing to dis¬
tinguish between these two that many
artists and most critics blunder and
this error is in effect the same as that
of the ambitious actor who, having
once to play the part, lor the first
time, of an intoxicated ruffian in a
certain melodrama, went to a neigh¬
boring tavern and intoxicated himself.
He thought that this would storm the
house, but on the contrary he was im¬
mediately fired by the management
for a fool—and rightly.—F. H. Martin,
