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.

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.

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.
