Farmer Is Beginning to Recognize
Possibilities and Realize Profits
of Cattle Raising and Feeding
—One Big Obstacle.
(By the late DR. S. A. KNAPP.)
The south generally has not been
regarded as a cattle country, but It Is
surprising how much of its- Income is
derived from this source, though the
industry 1b, as yet, in its infancy. No
other section of the United States is
making relatively more rapid prog
ress than the Bouth; and, as in other
lines, the southerner is learning to
utilize his natural advantages. He is
beginning to recognize the possibil
ities and realize the profits of cattle
raising and feeding. At present the
greatest obstacle to the development
of the live stock industry in this re
gion is the poor quality of the native
southern cattle, but since inoculation
has made it possible and practicable
to Introduce northern seed stock,
registered sires are being brought ltt,
and it now seems only a question of
time ttll the scrub will be largely or
wholly eliminated.
With Its mild winters, short feeding
periods, and Its infinite variety of
grasses, legumes and grain crops, the
south beyond question can, and should
raise better beef, and at a much less
cost than the less favored north. In
cattle and live stock lies the greatest
and most permanent profit of the
southern farmer. It Is, in fact, hie
salvation.
Hereford eattle originated in the
gracing districts ot England, particu
larly in Herefordshire, from which
they take their name. It is consid
erably the oldest of all the breeds,
having been recognized for over 400
years, being bred and developed
through all these years with the pne
idea of making the choicest and best
beef at the minimum coat—and main
ly on grass alone.
As a grazfer there is no breed of
cattle which aprpoaches them, and
their abK - "T*° f btt$n on, a grass diet
of thglrALsf r<£ZpiW, is aij'qpality
which appeal to all who are looking
for the mos? economical method of
producing beef. Extremes of weath
er that will cause other cattle to seek
shelter or shade does not deter the
Hereford from eating his fill, and the
contrast between them and other
breeds,' after an unfavorable season,
is marked. The Hereford can also be
fattened at any age, and with equal
rapidity. If baby beef or a more ma
ture product Is desired, it makes no
difference, the Herefords will meet
either requirement satisfactorily,
They naturally mature early, from 18
to 30 months being the time required
to produce from 1,300 to 1,800 pounds
of beef that will top any market ift
the land.
The impressiveness of the Hereford
sire when used on scrub or native
cattle is a quality which will at once
commend itself particularly to the
resident of thq south who is dissatis
fled with his cattle of the dairy type
Therq is nq bull of any breed that
Can equal the Hereford in this
spect, and' his ability to transmit his
own goocH qualities has won for him
unqualified commendation. With an
indiscriminate lot of cows a Here
ford bull, will produce an extremely
uniform lot of .calves, and the im
provement, wonderfully marked in
the first generation, will leave in the
second generation, at- least, no trace
,tn color or form , of the mother stock.
To bear out-this statement, attention
is called ’to a : ' steer exhibited at the
(International ..Dive' Stock Exposition

PUSH GROWTH OF ALL CHOPS
Should Be Done by Frequent and' Shal
low Cultivation—Increased Yields
Will Result. /
m (By Q. H. ALFORD.)
The growth of every crop should,
be pushed now by frequent and shal
low cultivation. Kill the grass and 1
weeds in the sprout and-keep the sur
face covered with a fine soli mulch to
conserve the soil moisture.
There has been a steady Increase*
In the yield of cotton, com, and other
crops In all of the southern states,'
but the yield Is far below what It!
ought to he. The average Is still be
low one-half hale of cotton per acre^
The average yield ought to be at least!
! one bale per acre. If the land Is thor
oughly prepared, good seed planted,
and the crop given frequent and shal
low cultivation the yields will be more
than satisfactory.
If every farmer In the south will-
sow crimson clover in the cotton at.
the last working, the succeeding
crops will speak eloquently of its
come to stay because it pays. A great y a j U Q as a fertilizer. The crimsons'

Color of Eggs. ’j
ootably at . jua’s fair,
where the greatest aggregation of
show cattle ever seen were on dis
play. At this great show, ln each of
: the six different classes for fat
stock, the “lordly Herefords” won i
.eyery first premium and champion- ]
'ship, both in the section for grades
and pure breeds, over all the other
breeds. The premier honors won by
the Herefords, over all competing
breeds, for these three successive
years, afford a most impressive ob
ject lesson as to their superior merit
and worth.
These champion steers in the grade
classes were nearly all range bred,
being by registered Hereford sires,
and out of grade western cows,
improved by the Infusion of Here
ford blood. What Herefords have
done for the north and west they
can and wili do for the south.
