July Livestock Notes
In midsummer livestock need
careful attention, says County A-
? 'nt G. W. Bonnette, who makes
ihese timely suggestions for July.
Animal Husbandry
1. Keep hogs grazing on green
jr -'rage. Arrange to turn hogs on
-om when it is in the glazed stage.
S. Reserve some permanent pas-
»re to be grazed bv beef cattle
late fall and early winter. 4.
--een-feed the beef calves, using
threshed oats and other home*
ised grains. 5. Peed the work-
+hr»e times a Hay. 6. Change
pastures for livestock if possible,
provide shade and fresh water
all classes of livestock. 8. Ob
serve the livestock for screwworm
. ifestation and give treatment, if
»ecessary.
Dairying ^
1. Mow pastures frequently. 2.
tro* .•rer * ^ t ^ iie«.
end use skimmilk-formaldehyde
'on Jt 'Tshnn of .ekimmilk, v 1
pint of 40 per cent formalin, 1
nt of molasses) in shallow pans
to kOl flies. 3. As milk production
T alls off, supplement pasture with
-v or silage and balanced grain
"’xture. 4. Peed up to two pounds
of grain daily to growing stock to
maintain normal growth. 5. Keep
vnttk or cream sold for manufac-
’rtng purposes in barrel or tub
of cold well or spring water. 6.
net Extension Circular 157, The
r r Dairy Cow, for use in pro
duction of home milk supply.
Poultry
1. Keep mash before laving hens;
it helps to keep their bodies cool
and stimulates eeg production. 2
Reduce feed cost by culling non
layers and not bv reducing feed.
3. Keep a grain feed before the
mllets and don't start feeding a
aying mash until the birds are at
east five months old. 4. If trou
bled with roup or chicken pox in
past years, vaccinate pullets when
they are two to four months old.

Good.Farraing Hints
For July Attention
Better farming suggestions for
July by County Agent. G W. Bon
nette show no letup for the good
farmer. ’ .
Agronomy
1. When field work slacks up,
! haul in grein straw, leaves, swamp
j grass, and litter for the compost
I heap. 2. Sow cowpeas. soybeans.
, or velvet beans now and they will
make growth to turn under for
soil building. 3. If the acreage
or prospective yield of corn and
summer forage crops is not suf
ficient for farm -needs, plant ad
ditional acreage after thorough
preparation of soil. 4. Plan 'for
grazing during a possible late
summer drought. 5. Get peanut
stackpoles and cross pieces ready.
Horticulture
1. Grow plenty of vegetables

by one of his senior officers who

upon the past performances of

leader, his coolness under fire,

desirable in an army officer.
“Kne,” replied Napoleoii, “but
what did he do tomorrow?”
Thi&is the question being ad

record—but we are more concern
ed udth what they will “do to
morrow.” While in the main it
will be possible to judge them by
ieir records in the past—our
only gauge unless we can judge
character and action by political
; peeches, is to rely upon the gen-
al averages of politicians of like
political beliefs. *
Men change with the responsi
bilities placed upon their shoul-
ers—many for the better, too
many for the worse. Have these
candidates become greater with

they have been given, or have
they proven that added trusts re

Almost any man running for

zeal after he was “promoted”
that he did in his first job—or
was it a means by which he could
coast along with his party with
out undue effort on his own part?
Did Dewey make as good a gov
ernor as he did as a district at
torney? As a special prosecutor,
was his work inferior to what it
later proved as district attorney?
Was Roosevelt a better assistant
secretary of navy than he has
been Commander in Chief of our
armed forces? Was he a better
governor than President? Did tie
prove a better President in his
second than in his third term, or
in his first than in his second
term?

leaders “did
look the record over

, It might also be possible to
gauge all our city, county and
state office seekers by this same
Napoleon yardstick, ask of each
“what did you do tomorrow?'
While it is important that their
reputation has been good yester
day, it is more important that it
will be excellent tomorrow.
