There are no illusions in England
that the war is certain to be a swift
and decisive one. The people are
steeled for a long and exhuastive
struggle.
The Admiralty notified the public

rWENTY RULES FOR RAI8INO
BEEF IN THE SOUTH.
Washington. D. C.?Useful rules for
aising beef successfully in the South
ire given in Farmers' Bulletin 580
iust issued by the United States Department
of Agriculture under the ti;le
of "Beef Production in the South."
\fter discussing in some details the
available pasture lands and grasses,
the Bulletin summarizes conditions as
follows:
Eradicate the tick on the farm.
Good pastures are essential for proftable
beef production.
Plant pasture grases over the whste
lands.
Use purebred beef bulls for gfcding
jp the native stock.
Always select the best heifers for
Prpeding purposes.
Use the coarse fodder, straws, and
the stalk fields for wintering the
breeding herd.
Wean the calves when pastures get
short. Put t^em In the cornfield and
pea. fields while weaning and teach
them to eat cottonseed cake or cottonseed
meal.
Raise and finish beef cattle on the
same farm when possible.
A mixture of cottonseed meal, cottonseed
hulls, and alfalfa hay is a
?ood ration for fattening calves.
Silage is the best roughage for fattening
any class of cattle.
More care Is necessary In feeding
Kilves than in feeding grown cattle.
At the present prices corn silape
Is a cheaper and better fepd for fattening
beef cattle than cottonseed
hulls.
Hulls and cottonseed meal make an
excellent fed for a short feeding neriod,
but do not produce pood pains
on cattle after the third monrn.
It is not entirely saMsfactorv to use
corn stover as the sole roughage.
When Johnson grass hay costs $10
and hulls $7 pgr ton it.is more profitable
to feed the hulls alone. '
Summer feeding on the pasture is
usually more profitable than winter
reeding.
Finishing cattle early In the summer
is usually more profitable than
finishing then* later in the season.
Fattening steers on grass and cottonseed
cake is nearly always more
profitable than grazing them without
reed.
Thin steers make larger and cheappr
daily gains than fleshy ones when
put on pasture.
' Pound for nound cold-pressed cottonseed
cake ic not equal to the common
cottonseed cake.
The use of a smalt amount of corn
In addition to cottonseed cake has
proven profitable for feeding steers on
grass.
The Bulletin, with its twenty nnpes
and nine illustrations, also contains
in interesting discussion of the varidus
breeds most serviceable in grading
up the native stock. It is sent free

Life.
Found in a Glacier.
Sir Martin Conway has recently told
this story of finding a lost ax in the
Alps: Zurbiggen, one of the celebrated
mountain climbers of the
world, in scaling a peak of Les Anglaists,
near Chuniounix, accidentally
let his ax fall near the summit of the
_ . i. ii r-.il ?kA.w.nn/1(i f

In tlie normal course of things it was
buried in snow and swallowed up in
the glacier, beirg covered deeper and
deeper each year, and at the same
time being carried slowly downward
as the ice flowed on. Seven or eight
years afterward Hen. C. G. Hruce and
Harkbir, a Sepoy chief. In descending
a peak of the Alps just as night was
falling, and a great crevasse barred
the way. being unable to find the
bridge over it, cut a path down to
to bottom, where Harkbir stepped on
an ax which had M. Z. Zurbiggcn's initials
cn the handle. There could be
no mistake as to the identity of the
ax. as Harkbir had seen it and used
It before.

How to Keep Bread Fresh.
Dr. J. R. Katz of the University of
Amsterdam has recently concluded
some interesting experiments showing
the action of heat upon the chemical
, changes which result in stateness in
, bread. His conclusions are that bread
1 may be kept fresh for as long a period
an iu nours u sioreu in a temperature
of 50 degrees C. or higher. In less
heat, say from 30 to 40 degrees C., it
t becomes "half stale" In a shorter time
. and at ordinary temperatures, of
i course, stales very rapidly. The doc- ^
tor finds, too, that an extremely, low *
; temperature preserves the freshness
' of bread for many hours, especially if
: the storage place is dry. The conclusions
of this eminent scientist, It may
: be added, coincide with those of the
i thrifty housewife who, from time immemorial,
has been accustomed to
"freshen up" he' bread by moistening
[ it with a little water and then putting
It in the oven tr a few minutes.
