Business and the Arts.
Augusta Herald.
In his widely-heralded book,
“The Empire of Business,” Mr.
Carnegie makes a number of em
phatic assertions in regard to the
superiority of a business career
over other professions as a char
acter developer. He is especially
sweeping in regard to’the non-de
sirability of an artistic career.
“I have learned,”' he writes,
“that the artistic career is more
narrowing, and produces such pet
ty jealousies, unbounded vanities,
and spitefulness, as to furnish one
with a great contrast to that
which I have found in men of af
fairs. Music, painting, sculpture,
one would think, should prove
most powerful in their beneficent
effects upon those who. labor with
them as their daily vocation. Ex
perience, however, is against this.
Perhaps because the work, or the
performance, of artists is so high
ly personal, so clearly seen, being
brought directly before the. pub
lic, that petty passions are stim
ulated ; however that may be, I
believe it will not be controverted
that the artistic mind becomes
prejudiced and narrow. But, urn
derstand, I speak only of classes
and of the general effect; every
where we find exceptions which
render the average still more ' un
satisfactory.”
It might not be out of place
just here to ask what may be Mr
Carnegie’s opinion in regard to
the narrowing influence of money
making, the demoralizing effect
of each man striving to outstrip
his neighbor in the great race for
wealth, and the pitfalls for hon
esty that lie in the path of the
young business men who, all too
frequently,have experiences which
lead them to believe that financial
success and the highest code of
honor are incompatible.
Growth of the Nation.
The Unted States Bureau of
Statistics has issued an abstract
in which the growth of the nation
in one century is shown.
In 1800 the area of its territory
comprised 827,844 square miles;
in 1900, exclusive of Hawaii and
Alaska, 8,025,600 square miles.
In 1800 the imports were $91,000,
000 and the5exports,$71,000,000im-
ports thus exceeding exports $20,-
000,000. In 1901, imports amount
ed to $823,000,000 and exports to
$1,487,000,000, or $664,000,000 in
excess of imports. The imports
in 1901 were thus nine times and
the exports twenty-one times as
great as those of i800. These fig
ures tell in brief the marvelous
territorial and commercial devel
opment of the Republic in 100
years. What may be expected of
it in another century.
The late Cecil Rhodes not only
was a bachelor, but fought very
shy of the fair sex. Here is
story which is told of him in this
connection. While on a visit to
London several years ago he din
ed at the house of a very wealthy
lady of title. Later, when he was
discussing the affair with his Sec
retary, the letter asked: “And
whom did you take to dinner?’
“Oh, I don’t know. Some Lady
Somebody,” was the reply. “But
what did you call her?” “Didn’t
call her anything—never spoke to
her,” replied Rhodes,

Inexpensive Feed for Cattle.
Macon Telegraph.
The experience of Mr., E. J. Wil-
lingham ^ has demonstrated that
can ^feed cattle through the
winter for one dollar a, month
and keep them fat, without-the
aid of canebrakes. He can keep
them in stalls throughout the
four months when the grass is not
glowing, and the cost does not ex
ceed one dollar each, whether he
realizes anything from his milch
cows or not, and without allowing
anything for the fertilizer that he
saves from them. At his farm
near Marshallville he has fifteen
cows. He winters them in this
way:
They are given access to a barn
just as the mules and hordes are.
He has a silo that holds q,.bout
fifty tons of green food. He sup
plies this Bilo from eight acres of
forage corn planted in drills. The
silo outfit, including the pit, the
ensilage cutter, the car, etc , cost
$175, and it is supposed to be good
for twenty years or for an indefi
nite length of time. The corn is
cut from the eight acres as soon
it is filled out. The ear is
stripped and the stalk and fodder
are chopped to pieces and rolled
into the silo, which is made in the
ground. It is about twenty-five
feet deep, and itB sides are about
fifteen feet in width. The bot
tom is cemented and the sides are
bricked and cemented. Above the
ground a shelter is built, to shut
out the rain. A rope run through
a pulley and having a cotton bas
ket at one end is used to haul the
insilage out of the silo as it is
waurad. When the silo is filled
in August, or about fodder pulling
time, a layer of dry stuff—fodder,
bay or anything—is laid over the
top of the pit, covering it about
one foot deep. This is weighted
securely, and it will keep the en
silage in perfect order until it is
wanted for fodder purposes. If
the ensilage has been well packed
while being placed in the silo it
will be found in pei'fect condition
even until the following spring
when the last of it is removed. A
uniform layer of the green food
must be fed each day to prevent
spoiling, and if it is found that
the feed is not needed for a while,
or if it is not all used during
a season, the layer of dry forage
can again be placed over the pile,
and the whole tiling can be weight
ed with scantling, big rocks, etc.,
and it will remain in a sotmd con
dition almost indefinitely; at
least until another season.
This fifty tons furnishes feed
not only for Mr. Willingham’s
cows throughout the winter, but
also for his' fifteen mules and one
hundred hogs; but the mules and
hogs have grain in addition.
“Does the cattle thrive when
fed entirely on the ensilage?”
Enough dry hay is fed to mak«
balance ration. Cotton seed
meal and hulls would help, but
they are expensive. A small quan
tity of properly cured pea vines
will complete the feed.
Those neighbors who have in
quired into Mr. Wilingham’s plan
are preparing to do likewise. And
it means that cattle raising will
not be confined to any one sec
tion of Georgia.
OglethBrpe Echo, .
. Never before parhaps in the his
tory of this country has the mat
ter of education and educational
institutions been given as much
thought, as they are being given
just at present. Philanthropic
people are devoting much of their
time and contributing millions of
their money to the cause while
thinkers are devoting their brains
to devolving the best means and
plans to afford the masses educa
tional opportunities that' can be
taken advantage of ,by the great
est number and that tend most to
bring about the best and most
permanent results.
Heretofore higher institutions
of learning have received the
most of this attention and receiv
ed most of the endowments. This
was well perhaps as far as it went,
but those who are interesting
themselves in such matters are
evidently coming to side with
The Echo in views it has repeat
edly expressed— that they were
erecting a structure before a prop
er foundation had been laid.
They are therefore now turning
their attention more to the estab
lishment of common schools and
in rural sections and improving
those .already established in meth
ods and in equipments for teach
ing.
This gives us renewed hope that
the educational interests of the
country are in a way to be largely
extended and improved. The
common schools of the land must
be relied upon to. furnish the
foundations to higher education
and until these foundations are
well laid we cannot expect the
completed structures to be stable
and lasting or to be of material
benefit to those in whose heads
they are built.
We predict that these people
who are taking such deep interest
in educational matters will soon
become convinced by actual re
sults that they have begun at the
right place to build the educa
tional interests of the country
and that we soon see the greater
pare of their attentions and dona
tions devoted to the common
schools and in the rural sections.
When these schools ..are brought
up to that efficiency that they
should be there will be no reason
to fear that the higher institu
tions of learning will be sufficient
ly patronized. Lay the founda
tion for finished educations in
the heads of the youth of the
land and they, or those of them
who can be expected to profit
thereby, will pub the finishing
touches to the structure. But
unless help is givenSjjthem to lay
the foundation many a worthy
and ambitious boy dr girl will be
forced to grovel through life in
comparative illiteracy. We are
glad to see philanthopists turning
their attention towards the fun
damental schools.

The healthy old man wears his
gray hairs like a silver crown.
What if he be threescore and ten
if there is still fire in his eye,
firmness in his step, command in
his voice and wisdom in his coun
sel? He commands love and rev
erence. Yet how few wear the
mantle of age with dignity. Dim
eyed, querulous of speech, halt
ing in step, childish in mind,
they “lag superfluous on the
stage,” dragging out the fag end
of life in a simple existence. The
secret of a healthy old age is a
healthy middle age. The man
who takes care of his stomach,
who keeps his body properly nour
ished, will find that the body
does not fail him in old age. The
great value of Dr. Pierce’s Golden
Medical Discovery lies in the
preservation of the working pow
er of the stomach and other or
gans of digestion and nutrition.
From this center is distributed
the nourishment of the whole
body, the salt for the blood, the
lime for the bones, phosphates
foy the brain' and nerves . A sound
stomach means a sound man. A
man who keeps his stomach sound
by the use of “Golden Medical
Discovery” will wear the crown
of gray hairs as befits a monarch,
with dignity and ease. ’
