DAIRY HERD RECORDS
Can dairying be conducted along prof-1
itable and successful lines in Georgia ■*
This is a pertinent question at the pres- I
ent time for several reasons- First of i
all, there will of necessity be a read-1
justment of our methods of farm prac
tice when the boll weevil invades the
state. Second, it has been shown that
our soils may be made much more pro- ■
ductive where animal industries are de
veloped and a sufficient quantity of yard ■
manure obtained to supply the needed
humus and bacterial life to our soils.
Third, the rapid Increase in population
throughout the United States is daily
making it more difficult for towns and
cities to secure anything like an ade
quate supply of dairy products. As a
matter of fact, the prices of milk and
butter have steadily increased for a
number of years past, and the end is not
yet in sight. If this be true, it would
appear that the dairy field offers an op
portunity to many men in Georgia who
are availing themselves of this opening
at the present time.
It will be interesting, therefore, to
recite jdst what has been done on the
college farm In the past few years in
building up a dairy herd to where it now
make a substantial profit to the owner.
The question of climate and soil and
of our ability to produce a variety of ,
crops needed for the proper maintenance I
of dairy cattle need not be discussed.
These points ate conceded by all who
have examined into the situation. Can j
the farmer of small means and limited
credit establish a dairy is a much moot
ed question. In view of what has been
accomplished at the college, this would
appear quite feasible for the herd now
owned has been built up chiefly through
the purchase and selection of graded
animals which were originally bought at
from $35 to S4O apiece in the vicinity of
the college or in the counties adjacent to
Clarke. That this same practice may be
followed successfully in developing a
herd in most parts of Georgia is admit
ted by men familiar with the live stock
industry. It is said that “the proof of
the pudding is in the eating.” As a
matter of fact, quite a large number
of dairymen with whom the college is
cooperating in the organization and de
velopment of their herds have followed
the identical practice Indicated herein
with success Some of these men have
herds which have turned in a gross
revenue of from $5,000 to SIO,OOO a year ,
and netted them a substantial profit
The feasibility of starting a herd
from grade cows obtained in the locality
where the work is to be undertaken
la thus established beyond the question
of controversj-. Os course, it is impor
tant that a pure bred sire of strong pre
potency and fine lineage be purchased ,
and placed at the heed of the herd.
This is the only item of considerable
expense which the herd owner of ne
cessity would have to meet. Suitable
dairy barns may be erected at a reason
able cost in Georgia where lumber la,
relatively speaking, cheap. Plans and
specifications may be secured from sev
eral sources for the erection of barns
well suited to our climate, and the
work can be done with ordinary farm
bands under the direction of a compe
tent foreman or superintendent. A very
modest barn will answer in the begin
ning. though it is essential that it be
sanitary and provided with concrete
floors. There must also be an adequate
water supply, but the large number of j
spring found in many localities, or the ,
location of dairy farms in relation to
the water supply of towns and cities is
such that this can generally be secured
without great difficulty or expense
The college endeavors to maintain a
herd of thirty milking cows at all times.
Shis herd is kept as an object lesson
to students and visitors to the college,
and for the purpose of demonstrating to I
the people of Georgia what can be ac
cvfplished m this special line under good
manta gement Os course, the herd has
been maintained and improved in the
last few years. For Instance, the state
ment from June L 1911. to June 1, 1912, I
shows that the herd produced $62.71 more
miLc per monQi than ever before. This;
was due to the elimination of the unde-!
sirable foundation stock and its replace
ment by heifers of superior merit. This,
is one of the best illustrations of how •
quickly a herd may be improved in char- >
acter by careful breeding, feeding and >
selection. Yet no processes have been I
employed on the farm which can not be
follow ed with ease and success by the i
average dairyman. The fact that some I
men under the direction of the college
have accomplished results of equal mer
it shows the practicability of the under- i
taking where the business is organised I
and conducted with the degree of intelli
gence necessary' to insure success.
The statement of the dairy herd for :
the past year shows that S6.OW 44 was
received from the sale of milk and but
ter. The business is conducted on a cash
basis, and therefore, there is no loss of
money. The milk and butter are sold
by tickets, a careful check on the sales'
being kept in the college farm office.
During the year the cows consumed 130.
tons of silage which at $2.50 per ton,,
cost $325: four tons of corn stover at I
$4 per ton, sl6; five tons of straw at $4
a ton. S2O: three tons of peavine hay at
sls. $45; 37 tons of cotton seed meal at
$34. s94s; six months' pasturage for 30
cows at $1.50. $270. expenses of the de-.
livery wagon. $350; tn cidentala including
ice, bottles, baskets, etc.. $447.94. The |
cost of the feed totals $1,324. Some may
consider the prices given too low, but I
they are certainly fair farm prices. ana
when the cost of marketing is added |
thereto will approxima te about the full
value of the feed. It will thus be seen
that the cost of feed per cow was a'
little more than $44 a year. This splendid
record could not have been made in view'
of the large quantity of milk and but-!
ter produced but for the fact that cot-■
ton seed meal was used as the sole con
centrate and fumiitied protein In so
great abundance and at «o low a cost.
Note that the expenses for the milk.
wagon and incidentals amount to $697.84;
the expenditure for labor $1,360. . The
profits exclusive of the value of the
calves or the manure were $1,117.60. Sure- j
ly this is a creditable showing, amount- i
ing as it does to more than $60.58 per in
dividual cow. The milk was sold at re
tail at 40 cents a gallon and the but
ter at 35 cents a pound. Os course, com
paratively little butter was sold.
Thewe figures demonstrate very clearly
the profits which may be made out of
the dairy business if rationally managed |
when cotton seed meal and silage are
made the basis of the ration. Surely,
they should encourage many farmers in
Georgia who have found cotton grow
ing and other lines of farm practice un
profitable to engage in this special line .
of production for the market rules strong ’
•nd the supply Is Inadequate. There Is
no section of the United States so favor- ;
ed for the production of an admirable
winter substitute for grass which silage
constitutes and cotton seed meal stands
at the head of the list of concentrates as
| a cheap source of protein for the nour
ishment of dairy Cows. The fact that this
j herd has been maintained for several
j years on a ration in which the con
| centrates consist exclusively of cotton
seed meal shows that it may be fed
j without injury for long periods of time
and that it is an elective producer of
• milk.
FOOD REMOVED BY VARIOUS
CROPS.
i S. B. 8., Byromville. Ga.. writes: Will
you please tell me the amount of plant
food removed by the following crops.
Cotton, rye. cowpea hay. sugar cane and
sweet potatoes?
A bale of cotton including the lint,
stalk, leaves, etc., will remove from the
land 100 pounds of nitrogen, 60 pounds
of potnsh and 40 pounds of phosphoric
acid. If the stalks and leaves are re
turned to the land, however, about one
third of the nitrogen and potash are
returned to the soil, the other two-thirds
being removed in the lint and seed.
The lint- only removes a very small per
centage of plant food, less than a pound
and a half of nitrogen, and not quite so
much potash for a 500 pound bale. It
would appear, therefore, that if cotton
' lands are well taken care of. and pro
' tected by cover crops in the winter that
I they should maintain their fertility for
long periods of time. As a matter of
fact, the failure to rotate crops is
| largely responsible for the difficulty ex
perienced in increasing the yield of cot
ton on many areas of land.
Thirty bushels of rye with 4.250 pounds
of straw remove from the land 51 pounds
of nitrogen, 26 pounds of phosphoric
acid and 45 pounds of potash. 150 bushels
of potatoes will remove about 40 pounds
of nitrogen, 20 pounds of phosphoric acid
and 75 pounds of potash. Thirty bushels
of peas with the straw will remove 25
pounds of phosphoric acid, and 60 pounds
of potash They should normally In
crease the nitrogen supply of the soil
rather tran deplete it. The amount of
plant food removed by sugar cane varies
widely, but in some tests made in Java
it appears that 78,000 pounds of cane re
moved from the land 75 pounds of nitro
gen. 52 pounds of phosphoric acid and
171 pounds of potash. This of course was
a very large yield, and you understand
that these figures are approximate, but
are about as reliable as can be secured
| under existing conditions.
. SAVING BARN YARD MANURE
I. B. W., Rome, Ga., writes: What
does your experience indicate as the
best way to save barnyard and stable
manure? I want to know if it is bet
ter to have the manure heap under
shelter or should it be out so the rain
will fall on it?
The best way of handling yard ma
nure is to put it on the field and in
corporate it with the surface soil as
rapidly as possible after it is made.
This, of course, is not practicable at
all seasons of the year. Under these
conditions it is advisable to preserve
it in open sheds or stalls where it may
be tramped and packed by the ani
mals. One should be careful to use
an abundance of litter, remembering
that the larger per cent of nitrogen
and potash is in the liquid part or
the manure, and unless the urine be
, absorbed and carefully preserved, the
greater part of the fertilizing elements
jof the manure may be lost. Where
• one has not stable or stall room in
which to keep and preseve the manure,
a shedlike structure should be built
on the outside of the barn. Scoop
out the earth to a depth of 18 inches
on some hard red clay knoll and pud
dle it Then build a sloping roof over
the top and set on posts which should
be placed on a concrete foundation.
As the manure is ftiade wheel it un
der this shed and keep it well packed
and tramped and moist. To let the
manure heat is the worst possible
' thing which can happen to it When
I thia takes place the nitrogen is
' changed into ammonia and is lost into
■ the air. The manure should be kept
' rather tightly packed should contain
an abundance of absorbents, and should
•be protected from rain and leaching.
I since it contains so much soluble
’ plant food. On this account it is well
'to have a supply of water available
‘so it may be kept cool and moist, it
. it shows evidences of heating.
1 REMOVING TICKS FROM CATTLE.
N. E. H.. Pearson, Ga., writes: What
is good for ticks on a cow; also for
; hollow tail? I have a cow that is
' never clear of ticks. She is poor and
. her horns are cold. She will calve in
| a few days.
Where one has only a single cow
the best method of flighting ticks is
to pick them off by hand. This is not
a very laborious undertaking, as the
| animal has to be milked twice a day.
and one can examinte the exterior of
the body quickly and thoroughly and
I remove the ticks. Then grease the
i limbs, the tall and the rump with fresh
: lard, crude Beaumont oil, or cotton
I seed meal This makes it much more
difficult for the ticks to get on the cow
; and attach themselves to "the body.
' There is no remedy which you can
i give internally calculated to destroy
the tick. The tick can be allied out in
Georgia by keeping cattle off the in
fested ranges for four and a half to
six and a half months. You might
I fence up part of your pasture, and
I keep the cows off for six months, pick
ing the ticks off every day. Then turn
them on the other part and keep them
I free from ticks and you will starve
this pest out and be free of it for all
time. Where one has a large nurifber
jof cattle spraying may be resorted
' to, but we have made the best sugges
! tion for one situated as you are with
only one cow to care for. No doubt
the trouble you observe is due to the
, presence of the tick on your cow, as
these produce the fever and enervate
the system, often resulting in dea
when infestation becomes very marked,
j There is no such thing as hollow horn
lin cows. If your cow is given a little
laxative food and bran mashes for a
few days and keep free of ticks for
chances are she will quickly reach her

THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOUKNAL. ATIAiNTA,. GA., EKWAY, AUGUST 23, 1912.
WILSON'S WESTERN RUNS
MINOiINCED COMPLETE
Seven Members N. Y, Cam
paign Committee Will Be
Transferred to Chicago
BY RALPH SMITH,
SEAGIKT, N. J., Aug. 21.-—The de
tails of the organization of the western
Democratic headquarters which will be
located in Chicago, were today made
public by Governor Wilson. Seven mem
bers of the campaign committee will be
transferred from New York and will
co-operate in an advisory capacity with
National Secretary Davies in the man
agement of the, Chicago offices with the
approval of the governor.
The following members of the com
tnitee have been assigned to Chicago:
Senator Gore of Oklahoma, Col. Rob
ert Ewing of Louisiana, Congressman
Albert 8. Burleson of Texas, Judge W.
R. King of Oregon, Senator Reed of
Missouri, and Charles R. Crane of Illi
nois.
WILSON'S STATEMENT.
In making the announcement, Govern
or Wilson said:
“The arrangement proposed for Chi
cago does not in any way interfere or
cut across the authority of the national
campaign committee as a whole. It
merely transfers half of the committee
to Chicago in order that they may con
duct their work with special reference
to the western country. The commit
tee in charge is divided in space mere
ly and not in authority."
Under the arrangement perfected by
Secretary Davies and approved by the
governor, the heads of some of the de
partments will be located in Chicago,
while others will remain in New York.
For instance. Senator Gore, in general
charge of the organization work, and
Congressman Burleson, in charge of the
speakers’ bureau, will be in Chicago, but
neither of them will yield any of their
authority. They will continue to exer
cise control of the work of their respec
tive departments in New York.
PLANS SET FORTH.
Governor Wilson's announcement of
the arrangements for Chicago, was con
tained in copies of letters that have
passed between himself and Secretary
Davies. At ths request of the governor,
Davies wrote to him a letter setting
forth his plan for the organization of
the Chicago-headquarters. Davies sug
gested that the western campaign should
be conducted in the same manner as
the national campaign, under a general
directorate. He asked that thp governor
request members of the national cam
paign committee to make Chicago the
headquarters of their respective activi
ties.
WILSON'S LETTER.
Governor Wilson sent the following
letter to Secretary Davies, approving
his plan:
"I have received your letter, propos
ing the plan by which to organize the
work which is to center at Chicago, and
take pleasure in saying that I approve
of the suggestion entirely. It agrees
perfectly with my desire to make Chi
cago one of the chief centers of the
work of the campaign committee.'
BABY PARADE.
The governor left Seagirt this after
noon at 2 o’clock by auto for Asbury
Park, where he reviewed a baby parade,
in which about 500 little tots had been
entered. The parade is an annual insti
tution along the Jersey coast, and it
has always been customary for the gov
ernor of the state to attend.
economically as the sugar beet. Be
cause of their large yield, however, and
the relative ease with which they are
cultivated and harvested, they, are very
popular in many sections of the north
where dairying is extensively practiced.
They are also probably better adapted
for cultivation in a climate with a
lower average temperature than that of
Georgia. Extensive experiments have
been made to determine the .feeding
value of mangels and corn silage, for
instance, and it has been shown that
a pound of dry matter in one crop is
about equivalent tn feeding value to a
pound of dry matter In another crop,
but silage can be made to produce a
much larger quantity of dry matter per
acre, and at a lower cost than the
mangels. On this account where green
feed is desired for live stock in the
south, the use of the silo has generally
been found to be more economical than
the growing of roots. loots require
to be stored in the winter time and
protected from freezing, and this calls
for the establishment of large, cool
cellars which will nox permit of a
high enough rise in temperature to
cause them to decay. Silage can be
stored in a much smaller space relative
ly speaking than the roots, and judg
ing from the experience we have had
with both of these foods, we would
be disposed to favor the silo proposi
tion for southern farmers. Os course,
if one desires to grow only a few roots
to give variety to the ration, and sot
use during the fall and winter, thv
mangel would prove an acceptable crop
to cultivate. They should be planted
in drills three to three and a half feet
apart, and cultivated rapidly. They
require liberal fertilization, and do
best on loamy soils through which the
roots may readily penetrate. They
should be sown about the same time
one would plant harden beets. Sow
rather thickly in the drill and thin out
to about 12 inches.

MIXING GRAIN RATIONS FOR
HORSES.
A correspondent, Elberton, Ga., writes:
How much cotton seed meal and oats
should I add to 100 bushels of chopped
corn, cob and shuck to be used in feed
ing work mules? How long should it
keep, and is there any danger of it
spoiling? What would be a reasonable
toll for grinding corn?
Corn, cob and shuck all ground togeth
er would probably weigh at the rate of
80 pounds to the bushel. You would
probably have something like 8,000 pounds
of this material on hand. For eax:h 800
pounds add 100 pounds of choice high
grade cotton seed meal, making the
whole weigh about 9,000 pounds. The I
addition of 1,000 to 1,500 pounds of oats
will further improve this mixture for
horses and mules. In fact, It will be
much better to add the cotton seed meal
and oats to this mixture rather than to
feed corn, cob and shuck by itself. Corn,
as you know, is a one-sided foodstuff,
and contains too much fattening mate
rial in proportion to that serviceable in
building up the muscles, nerves and tis
sues of the animal body. There will be
no danger in feeding from 12 to 16 pounds
of this mixture to a 1,000 pound mule
doing hard work. You should give in
addition 12 to 15 pounds of clean, bright
hay. Be sure this hay is free from mold.
It is also important that the 'corn, cob
«nd shuck was clean and bright and
free from mold before it was ground.
If it was not it is not safe to feed to
horses and mules. If the mixture is dry
when prepared and kept so, there is no
reason why it should not keep for a rea
sonable length of time. A fair toll for
grinding corn, cob and shuck would be
about one-eighth o£ the trial.
Corn Bread Makes
Georgians Healthy
To the.fact that so much corn bread
is eaten in the southern states, Surgeon
Allan Stuart, U. 8. N., attributes the
general good health of Georgia boys, a
greater percentage of whom, he says,
pass the required naval physical ex
amination here than in any other sec
tion.
Dr. Stuart declares that the exercise
given the teeth by eating corn bread
makes them strong and healthy, and
healthy teeth, he says, result in a
healthy body.
Dr. Stuart declares that the majority
of the applicants, who are turned down,
fall to pass because they are under
weight or have flat feet

(Special Dispatch to The Journo’ '
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug. 20.—Although
he possessed certificates which are ne

carpenter who was recently notified that
he had won a capital prize at lottery on
a ticket purchased in France, returned
to the contractor’s office of the Savannah
hotel to obtain sl6 wages due. When
Wittee received the notice several days
ago he immediately quit work. There
was sl6 wages due him. He did not
bother about taking the amount then,
but after the first excitement of being
possessed of such a fortune passed off,
he wanted the hard-earned money.
Wittee has worked as a laborer in all

SHE BACKING JONES
Governor Blease Claims Ef
fort is Being Made to Hrut
Race by Changing Ticket,
— i
(BY STAFF CORRESFONDEITT.)
WALHALLA. S. C.. Aug. 21.—Good
order prevailed in the crowd at the
campaign meeting here today, the
crowd representative of Carolina’s stur
dy country folk, of her cotton mill pop
ulace and of dwellers in the deep moun
tain reaches of the state, the big hills
along the line and besides the
orderly crowd there was respectful be
havior on the part of the candidates.
Though Judge Jones today did not men
tion the name or assail the administra
tion of Governor Cole L. Blease, an oft
repeated feature of his campaign
speeches, and one in line With his decla
ration that he only assails the governor
on his pure record, the governor made
the statement that Judge Jones is con
ducting “the dirtiest, nastiest, filthiest
campaign that a white man had made
in this state since the days of Daniel
H. Chamberlain.”
Governor Blease further charged that
Judge Jones, n a speeph at Westmin
ster yesterday “took me for his text,”
whreas he, in s speech in the same
town, had not mentioned Judge Jones'
name.
"I did not call his name,” spoke up
Judge Jones from his chair in the rear
of the stage.
Judge Jones' speech dealt with his
regular platform and he was well re
ceived by the Oconee citizens. The
town of Seneca, in the same county,
was well represented at the meeting,
and the Seneca band furnished cam
paign music.
Governor Blease today again charged
that corporations are backing Judge
Jones, saying that the fact that Lewis
W. Parker, president of mill merger,
had made speeches to his employes at
Union, Seneca and Walhalla proved his
charge that Judge Jones is the corpora
tion candidate. "If Jones is not the
corporation candidate,” said the gov
ernor, "why is the mill merger presi
dent asking his mill employes to vote
for him?”
The governor said Parker had told his
employes that they would not lose pay
for the time they were taking from
work to him him (Parker) speak. He
also said that the mill merker is ‘ noth
ing but a trust intended to control the
price of cotton.”
Governor Blease has frequently
charged that his opponents are planning
to count him out at next Tuesday's
primary, and this charge went a step
further today when he said that Jones
men had been putting their names on
two club rolls.
He also said he had received two tel
egrams, one of which,- from Dillon, he
read in part, to the effect that Blease
men had gone to the club secretary and
registered and that the secretary, who
is a Jones man, had lost the club roll.
jThe governor urged his friends to coms
early to the polls next Tuesday and
stay late and “not let them steal the
tickets.”
Local color was given to the meet
ing here byGovernor Blease's reference
to the pardon of Earle Rochester, con
victed of murder, and to the vote of
ex-Representative S, A. Zimmerman tn
separate coach bill.
| The governor stated that he had been
asked by Mr. Zimmerman, who could
be at the meeting, to correct the state
ment that he had voterd in 1801 as had
Judge Jones on this occasion. He said
Zimmerman had voted differently from
Judge Jones that year.
“That shows that Zimmerman is a
white man's man, and not in favor of
social equality,” said the governor.
From his seat Judge Jones said:
"He’s talking about 1891. I was talk
ing about 1890.”
Judge Jones had said that Zimmer
separate coach law.
The governor said he had pardoned
Earle Rochester at the request of late
Judge C. G. Dantzler, who had sat on
the case, on the petition of all the ju
rors and certain county officials and at
the request of Congressman Wyatt
Aiken.
A thousand people heard the Blease-
Jones debate. The governor took his
hand primary, and less than half those
present voted for Blease.
GEORGIA PRISONS NOT SO
BARBARIC, SAYS YANCEY
The charge of Dr. Frank H. Loveland,
of Topeka, Kan., a prison expert, that
the prison at Jefferson, Mo., is “the
most barbaric in the country with the
possible exception of those of Nebraska
and Georgia,” has drawn a warm an-'
swer from Goodloe Yancey, secretary of
the prison board of Georgia.
“It is absolutely untrue,” says Secre
tary Yancey. All abuses stopped with
the abolition of the lease system several
years ago, says he. Georgia’s convicts
are well treated, says and the J’
are fed better than in any other state.

SAVANNAH IS SECOND
LARGEST_COTTON PORT
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH. Ga.. Aug. 21. —While
Savannah will not receive two and a
half million bales of* cotton for the sea
son of 1911-12, which closes in a few
days, It has safely established itself
as the second largest cotton port of the
world. During the latter part of the
seasen when Savannah's receipts ex
ceded the two million mark it was con
fidently expected by the cotton men that
the total receipts for the year would
be two and a half million bales.
The reason that this mark was not
reached, however, it is not due to the
lack of facilities for handling and stor
ing the staple here, or any lack of cbt
ton in the interior. The trouble seems
to have arisen over the alleged unjust
penalization of American cotton in
Bremen. Instead of the cotton being in
port ready for shipment or on the oth
er side of the Atlantic It is stored in
the interior warehouses, the cotton men
say. Savannah's receipts for the sea
son compared with those ot a year ago
show a decided gain however. Last year
the receipts at this time were 1,432,612
bales. This year the receipts to date
are 2,385,049.

TARRYTOWN, N. Y., Aug. 20.—John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., is back at the Rockefel
ler home at Pocantico Hills to take up
the trouble which ha» recently threaten
ed between employes of the estate and a
squad of discharged Italian workmen.
Special deputies from the sheriff's office

Mr. Rockefeller plans to arrange for a

Mr. Rockefeller, it is understood, will
himself provide the necessary funds.
