It mow ameers that July 4 this
year will be spent very much as any
other Saturday in Marshall. The
stores which usually close on this
holiday will remain open due to the
fact that it is not only Saturday but
election day also. So far as we
have been able to learn, the poetoffice
and banks will be the only institu
tions that will observe the holiday.
f ; However, the store clerks will in most
cases be permitted to take e day off
t soon thereafter, possibly Monday.
Good Pastures Needed
, In Livestock Growing
' Cattle get plenty of exercise bu$ L
produce 1 little meat and milk from
torn out pastures, according to
James M. Parks, agronomkt ' of the
Soil ; Conservation Service in North
Caroling.
Properly managed pastures control
erosion on sloping fields and produce
the cheapest of all livestock feeds.
Overgrazed pastures are soon re
duced to a playground for hungry
cows and mules, says Parks.

Too often owners feed their cows
almost nothing but cotton seed meal
and hulls during the fall and winter
months when there is little or no
feerl available. Cows fed this
almost exclusively often contract a
condition which some call "cotton

Dr. Sherwood points out tnat sucn
a condition might occur to dairy
cattle which have been given feeds
other than cottonseed meal and hulls
such as peanut mealf linseed oil, or J
soybean meal with a poor roughage.
When afflicted with this condition,
cows become gaunt and phlegmatic,
