STOCKMAN AND TRUCK GROWER, Beef Cattle. We have from time to time urged the Southern farmers to give more atten ilon to growing beef cattle. We have done so because we believed they could make money by doing so. And at the same time they could Improve their farms. Wo have frequently called at tention to the high prices that good beef was bringing. We still do so, but wo are glnd to find that the prices have declined. We say we are glad, because the price has gone so high that It was injuring instead of helping the busi ness. Beef was so high that many were unable to buy It, hence the con sumption was being seriously cut down. People quit eating beef, not from choice, but from necessity. They were simply not able to pay for It. This sudden falling off iu consumption on one side and the increase In supply stimulated by the high prices on the other side have materially affected the cattle market. As our beef bills had not shown any fall In price we were a little slow in catching on to the decline in prices of beef cattle. We have numerous complaints of difficulty in getting fair prices for beef cattle. We still insist that good beef can be sold at good prices. This is true, but it may often happen that there Is no market in your immediate neighborhood. If we get to raising more good cattle so as to be able to get up car-load lots it will help to get high er prices and ready sale. The packing houses In Atlanta and other Southern cities nre always ready to buy all good beeves at full prices. One trouble Is that we have not learned the difference between good beef and poor beef. A cow may be fat end not be a desirable beef for the butcher or packer. Our scrubs are too much bone and waste and too little meat in propor tion. One correspondent says it is better to sell these scrubs weighing 2000 pounds than to sell one or two Short Ilorns weighing the same, because the scrubs cost nothing to raise and the Short Horns cost s2o to raise.' We have never learned bow to raise these scrubs, or any other kind of cat tle for nothing. They cost fully as much If not more than the better breeds. They eat as much day by day, and generally require many more days to get in salable condition. And when you get ready to sell they will not bring as high a price because they are not as good beef. Scrubs have so much waste that they usually nell for about two to two and a half cents per pound gross. Better beef breeds will bring about twice as much. A breed that has been selected for its beef producing qualities for genera tions past will grow so much faster and fatten so much easier that it really costs lesb to grow them than it does to grow scrubs. It is a mistaken idea that they require more and bet ter food. It Is true that they will show higher appreciation for good feeding and grow faster when well fed, but that only makes them cost less to reach any given weight. Herefords, Short-horned, Red-polled and others will hold their own with any other cattle that are given a living chance. But it does not pay to raise any breed on short rations and exposure. The better they are cared for and the more liberally they are fed the less will be the cost with any breed. The first six months Are the most Important part of any beef's life. They should be pushed while calves if we wish to get the best results. Another says the calf has had one half the milk for six months or more. Calves should be separated from the mother at three days. First of all we need more and better pastures. Pasture does not mean acres to walk over, but grass to eat. Very many of our pastures—so called—are a disgrace to the farm and a reflection upon the intelligence of the owner. These are not a necessity. We have plenty of land and a number of the best pasture grasses ready to grow upon the land. But If we expect good grass wc must prepare the land and give the grass a chance. Then we must supplement the pasture with an abundant supply of forage. This Is easily done. A few acres well managed will enable every farmer to carry from fifteen to twenty head of cattle. When this Is done a carload can be gotten up In any community, and buyers will come to your doors aud give you full prices. There are more disasters to the cot ton crop than to the cattle crop. The profits are much less In cotton growing than In cattle growing. There is much more expense In growing cotton than In growing cattle. Cotton growing keeps the land from rapid Improve ment; In mar' - cases helps to make It Doorer. Cati.e growing always Im- N ws of the Day. A colored fireman on the Southern was mysteriously shot in East Spen cer Friday night. The negro, whose !>*. Ie could not be learned, claims tuut he was shot from ambush and that he has no Idea of who did It, while others are of the opinion that he did It hlmaelf, as the ball ranged through his thigh from an upward poeition. His wounds ware dressed by Dr. J. W. Young, and R la thought that he will toon reog*^.^ proves the land and may he made to do so very rapidly. It requires less capita} to grow cattle, and above all it enables you to keep out of debt.— Southern Cultivator. Arranging a Hog; Pasture, W. L. H., Hero, Miss., writes: "I have several acres of land that I wish to put into pig pasture. It is all good land, varying from sandy basis to a little rolling. My idea has been to sow early this fall iu Turf oats or rye, something that would answer for win ter grazing. Early In the spring break well and sow or sod to Bermuda grass. Would I obtain good results from this plan? If not. please advise me as to what you think would be the most ef fective." Oats will bo preferable for the fall seeding of your land Intended as n winter and spring pasture for your hogs. While rye make a vigorous growth it becomes hard and w;oody very much sooner than the oats, and the hogs will not eat it as closely nor with as much relish as they do the latter. Iu experiments conducted at this station we have found that when oats are allowed to practically mature and then grazed by hogs that they ipake satisfactory gains on the grain while consuming a considerable amount of the straw. Then as the ex ercise which they obtain keeps them healthy, while the laud is enriched by the droppings of the animals, it is a very desirable method of handling the animals In the winter and early spring. By running n temporary fence across your field In March or April, one-half of the oats could be pastured down when young and the other half al lowed to mature and pastured off when well headed out if desirable. Other wise you could break up the land as soon as possible in the spring and seed to Bermuda grass. You should have no trouble in obtaining sets of the grass in your immediate vicinity, as it is quite extensively cultivated in Mississippi. Plant in rows one foot to eighteen inches apart and one foot apart in the drills. While you might plant the grass at a much greater dis tance, this will insure the ground be ing covered quickly, and iu a favorable season the grass should be ready for grazing some time between July and September. Bermuda sod is an excel lent thing for hogs to graze on, and as the sod is dense and tough, they do not injure it as much as in the ease of many other plants.—Professor A. M. Soule. Planting an Orchard. We are glad to see a growing interest iu planting fruit trees of all kinds all over the South. We welcome this sen timent because it shows a disposition to look more to permanent farming. A tree is longer lived than a cotton stalk, and so when a man begins to plant trees he expects to stay and reap the benefit thereof. For peaches, pear, apples and such like from sixteen to twenty feet each way is a good distance. We do not think it pays to crowd trees too much, and when planted as we are now di recting they will grow larger, live long er and bear more and better fruit. Pecan trees should be set from thirty to fifty feet apart, generally forty feet is about right. The cheapest and by far the best method of making the holes for the trees is to blow them with dynamite; use a four-ounce cartridge with two feet of fuse. With a crowbar make the hole where you wish the tree to stand two feet deep, place the cartridge in this and fire it off. This will pulverize the clay four feet deep and four feet across, and is a cheaper and better hole than can be prepared in any other way. Place the tree In this and put in a little manure or fertilizer in the sol! and press firmly around the roots of the tree. Trees set in this way will live longer and do better. There Is no danger attending the use of dynamite except in handling the caps.—Dixie Farmer. A Word Afeottt r«»n. We are glad to see a growing dispo sition to grow pecan trees. We wish to emphasize that, the pe can is one of the very prettiest shade trees that can be grown in the South. In towns and villages as well as upon the farm they should be extensively planted for this purpose. We know of no other tree that com bines so many features of the useful and beautiful.—Southern Cultivator. Kt Woman'a Unhappy Lot.
