frosts have now cut down the pas
sage to the point where the dairy-
In must largely depend on stored feed

when the greatest effort should be
|nded on maintaining an abundant
[ of milk, for there is a greater de-
for'all the products of the dairy
the winter than at any other
This is due in a measure to the

c. l animals producing it require an
abundance of this element. If the wa
ter is pure and wholesome the cows will
drink more of it, and hence the digeast-
ive system will be kept in better con
dition and the elaboration of milk go
forward with greater uniformity. Any
thing which promotes the comfort of
the cow, therefore, is highly important.
Ov rfeeding is as objectionable as un
derfeeding. To give ten pounds of grain
per day at one feed is almost as bad
as to give half the amount in two
feeds. In on e case there is a tendency
for the cow to gorge herself and upset
the digestive organs. In the other case
sn is not receiving enough of the nu
triments essential to her welfare. in
either case the product is cut off and
the owner complains that his business
is conducted at a loss when the trouble
is entirely due to his own inlifferent
management. If the owners of dairy
cows would complain less about the
business and study it more consistently
and endeavor to find 6ut where the leaks
arj and stop them, tne industry would
make rapid strides in Georgia, for it
offers one of the most profitable lines
of investment and development open to
our j. .rmers, and those who fail in the
dairy business if they are honest with
tnemselves must charge it up to their
own lack of knowledge or to careless
and indifferent management.
What and how to feed the cow is
the next important item to consider.
First of all, she must have a liberal
ration of concentrates. An abundance
of protein out of which to elaborate
certain of the milk elements is essen
tial. As the basis of a ration there
is nothing superior to cotton seed meal.
A clean, wholesome grade of this ma
terial furnishes the protein needed at
a lower cost than anything else which
the farmer can purchase. If he has an
abundance of corn on his farm and de
sires to use some of it, he may make
his ration tw^-thirds cotton seed meal
and one-third corn. If he desires to
us e bran in the ration a mixture con
sisting of one-third of each of the three
concentrates will be found wholesome
and desirable. There is no reason why
cotton seed meal alone should not be
used by the dairyman provided over
feeding is not indulged in. A pound
of this concentrate contains ordinarily
as much protein as four pounds of corn
meal. Therefore, when on e feeds six
pounds of it, he is feeding the equiva
lent of the .protein contained in twenty-
four pounds of corn meal. This is a
much larger ration of corn meal than
would ordinarily be fed except to an
extremely large cow giving a most re
markable flow of milk. For a 1,000-
pound cow from five to six pounds of
cotton seed meal will be found about
right when she is giving two or more
gallons of milk per day. 1^ corn and
bran be added to th e ration as much as
eight to ten pounds of the mixture may
be fed to advantage to a cow of tne
above weight. Roughagre should be
supplied in abundance. It should be
clean, fre e from molds, wholesome and
made palatable if it is not naturally
so.
Hulls make an excellent form of
roughness to feed with cotton seed meal.
Wher e the farmer does not happen to
have these on hand he may feed clean,
bright corn stover and oat straw with
excellent results. He should depend
on stover as the principal source of
roughness and to make it palatable
should sprinkle brine water over it. It
should be put in a rack in the yard
where it can be protected from the
weather and where the cows may have
access to it at all times. It will be
surprising *to many to see how much
of this form of roughness the animals
will consume. Where the farmer can
have green feed In the form of cereals
sown early in th e fall for pasture or
where he has a silo, he can easily sup
ply his cows with ideal roughness in
abundance and in the cheapest possible
.form. The man who keeps a consider
able number of cows will find a silo
dispensable. It is important that the
nangers be cleaned out morning and
ight and that the cows be fed not by
,uess, but by actual weight and in pro-
Rrtion to their needs. These matters
'ect the health and wellbeing of the
animals and the quality and palatability
of the products. T
Georgia farmers are peculiarly for
tunate in having the essential elements
out of which to construct a cheap arid
effective ration a*t their command. The

Batterick’s Bill Provides Gov
ernment Loans to Farmers
• at Small Interest
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Government
loans on farm mortgages at low interest
rates were proposed in a bill today by
Representative Bathrick, of Ohio. The
plan outlined is to attain the same ob
ject as the “rural credits” system pro
posed by President Taft.
The bill would provide for the estab
lishment of a bureau of farm loans in
the treasury .department with a loan
commissioner appointed by the presi
dent. The secretary of the treasury
would be authorized to raise funds for
loaning to “bona fide tillers of the soil”
on farm mortgages by the issue of
government bonds at not to exceed 4 pet
cent interest. The loans would be
made on farms of whicri at least one-
half must be under cultivation.
Applications for loans would be made
to the commissioner who would certify
to value of the property to be ascer
tained by the owner and appraisers ap
pointed by the commissioner to the sec
retary of the treasury, who would loan
not to exceed 60 per cent of the value
of the land on a mortgage made out to
the secretary of the treasury at not
more than 4 1-2 per cent interest.
The bill would exempt both rfiort-
gages and bonds issued under the act
from taxation and proposes an appro
priation of $100,090 for the installation
of the plan.
TOP DRESSERS FOR CORN AND
COTTON.
J. P. K., Columbus, Ga., writes; I
have been using qji my farm 100 pounds
of nitrate of soda per acre on oats,
corn and cotton. What would you think
of my using 225 pounds of cotton seed
meal instead of the nitrate of soda
and putting it on about May 1. Of
course thi*s will be in addition to the
other fertilizer. Would the meal build
up the land for future use more than
the soda?
Nitrate of soda has long been re
garded as one of the standard materials
for top dressing because of the quickly
available character of the nitrogen it
contains. It is us&d, as you know, es
sentially as a plant istimulant for the
purpose of reinvigorating a crop which
has not made a satisfactory growth in
the early part of the season. While
cotton seed meal might be used as an
adjunct in a side application with ad
vantage, it could hardly take the place
of nitrate of soda. The nitrogen in
cotton seed rneal is in an organic form,
and therefore becomes more slowly
available, and on that account it should
be applied much earlier than would be
necessary with nitrate of soda and it
should also be incorporated with the
soil. Cotton seed meal can be used with
excellent results as t he basis of any
mixture used as a side application, or
considerable quantities of it might be
used alone early in the growing season
as si'de application's where the land is
thought to be quite deficient in nitro
gen. We would not hesitate to use
cotton seed meal, say as late as May 1,
as a side application or corn and cot
ton in lieu of making two applications
of nitrate of soda. Cotton seed meal,
as you know, carrier some phosphorous
and potash as well as nitrogen, and is
a rhore complete fertilizer on that ac
count than nitrate o* soda. Nitrate
of soda becoming so quickly available
probably acts more as a plant stimu
lant than cotton seed meal. The
chances are that the succeeding crop
might benefit somewhat by a portion of
the nitrogen which might escape utiliza
tion by the first crop. This is a debat
able queston, however, in a climated such
as we have in Georgia where the grow
ing season is several months in length.

PLOWING* SAn6y LAND.
C. S. M., Broxton, Ga., writes: 1
have been told that it is not best to
piow sandy land deep. My soil is a
black sandy soil with red pebbles on top
for about six inches, and then for three
or four inches below is snuff-colored

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Briefs seek
ing to show that officials of the United
Shoe Machinery company had not been
guilty of violating the Sherman anti
trust law in organizing the company,
and that the action of the Massachu
setts federal court in annulling an in
dictment against their officials should
be sustained, were filed in the supreme
court today.
In the Standard Oil, tobacco, bath
tub, St. Louis terminal and hard coal
trust cases, the objectionable features,
the brief^ contended, were those em
bodying means of suppressing competi
tion. i'he shoe machinery company was
described as being a combination of
several independent and non-competing
manufacturing businesses.
“The charge here is rather,” said
one brief, “that these defendants form
ed a partnership to carry on the differ
ent businesses formerly carried on by
the six partners, respectively, ceating
that of the United Shoe Manufactur
ing company. If, however, this com
bination or partnership is a direct or
immediate restraint upon interstate
trade, then there has never been any
time since the passage of the Sher
man act in which a partnership could
be formed of partners, each dealing in
different commodities to engage in an
interstate manufacturing business
which might develop into a intrastate
business. The proposition seems absurd,
particularly in view of # the language
ot the supreme court in the tobacco,
hard coal, the Union Pacific merger and
other cases in regard* to the law not
forbidding normal contracts to further
interstate commerce.”
As a concluding argument the at
torneys contend the criminal appeals
act, under which the government appeal
ed from the decision of the Massachu
setts court was repealed by the enact
ment of the judicial code.

COLUMBIA, S. C., Jan. 4.—Follow
ing out his intention of appointing only
Blease men to office. Governor Blease
this morning continued his calling in
of the commissions, issued to Notaries
Public, who are political opponents of
his. Forty-eight prominent Columbia
onen, the majority of them lawyers, were
“fired” today. In today’s list appears
the name of Alex. Rowland, former*
private secretary to the governor, and
now a resident of Augusta, Ga. It is
the intention of the governor to continue
the “weeding out” policy throughout the
state and it is said that the next coun
ty taken up will be the Charleston, list.
Many of those “flr-d” are bitter in
their expressions towards the gov
ernor’s action, and some say it is sim
ply playing petty politics. Some of
them pay their respects to him Id
strong terms and others are of the
opinion that his action will cause a
fight in the legislature and the making
ot an effort to take this power out of
his hands. Instead of making a whole
sale dismissal, as was the case two
years ago, the governor apparently is
going through the lists in each county
and removing the anti-Blease men.
.There are some 5,000 notaries in the
state. This action is causing some
trouble to blsiness concerns which have
papers probated. Every one that holds
a commission is watching to see if
their heads will be the next ones to
fall. Among those “fired” late yester
day afternoon were three Columbia
newspaper men. Those who “fell” to
day include the United States commis
sioner, the chairman of the board of
law examiners, and many other promi
nent men. One included in the list
said that he didn’t hold any commis
sion, not having applied since the whole
lis. were “fired” two years ago.

THE TEN-DAY COURSE
AT THE UNIVERSITY
It is not advisable or necessary to
pi w sandy lands to the same depth
to which clay lands should be broken.
We think eight to ten inches would be
the maximum depth for a soil such as
you have described in your letter. A
sandy soil is naturally more open and
porous than a clay soil and the roots
of plants can find their way through
l more reaily, and there is a better
circulation of air and a more rapid
movement of water/ The thing which
a sandy soil is most deficient in is vege
table matter. This Is needed in order
to increase its supply of nitrogen and
improve its physical condition and abil
ity to resist drought. A* sandy soil
naturally gives its best results in a
season when there is a considerable
amount of rainfall. You are acting
wisely in our judgment to lay your land
to a good depth, however, especially
when th© work can be done in the fall
and thus permit the freezes of winter
to act on the fine particles and help to
pulverize them. Plowing to a consid
erable depth will also increase the soil’s
ability to hold the water which falls as
rain. It would have been better if you
h: . plowed the stalks under rather
than cut them off unless you are feed
ing t ..em to live stock and expect to re
turn th e manure to the soil, Land of
the character described in your letter
is generally not rich in what are re
garded as the essential elements of plant
food. We believe you will find it well
to 6se on this land for corn a 10-3.5-5
.formula, and for cotton about a 9-3-4.
if you test the land for acidity and
find it to be acid, it will pay you to
apply lime in the form of the finely
ground raw rock at the rate of one ton
per acre. Lime should be used as a top
dressing and left to exert its peculiar
actiori in the soil. In other words,
lim e should not be plowed under. It is
important if you purchase lime to see
that it is high in carbonate and rela
tively low in magnesium.
to attend the short course at the col
lege this winter, and wish to specialize
along cotton, cereal and live stock pro
duction. 0
The cultivation of alflalfa can not be
regarded as a pronounced success in
Georgia. There are patches here and
there which have done fairly well and
some of them have held their own for a
number of years, but in 'a great ma
jority of instances alfalfa has suc
cumbed to the inrads which crab grasjj
makes on the stand in the course of a
few years. Our lands also as a rule are
deficient in lime, and if we hope to
succeed with this crop we must use
an abundance of this material; we
w r ould say not less than two tons of the
finely ground rock per acre applied once
in three years. Many farmers are not
willing to go to this expense. Our
lands are. also low as a rule in vege
table matter, and many of them are so
tenacious at the lower levels that they
do not drain readily, and in very wet
seasons there is a tendency for water
to accumulate in the lower areas of the
soil and choke out the long feeding roots
of the alfalfa. We believe by under
drainage the chances of securing a per
manent stand of this crop, especially on
the lower lying and richer soils will bej
greatly enhanced.
It would also seem necessary in the
cultivation of alfalfa to first prepare
the land for seeding this crop by turn
ing under such green crops as cowpeas
or velvet beans. These smother crops
also help to destroy weeds and crab
grass. In our experience the seeding
of alfalfa in the fall is much to be
preferred to spring sowing. We find it
advisable to use about twenty-five
pounds of recleaned sead and to cover
well into the soil with a brush harrow
or weeder. Liberal fertilization say at
the rate of 1,000 pounds of a 10-4-7
will generally be found profitable. Top
dressing the crop with yard manure will
also be helpful.
We believe there are other leguminous
crops which can probably be cultivated
on an extensive scale in Georgia, which
are. likely to give the farmer a larger
return in the long run than alfalfa. We
would not discourage any one from ex
perimenting with this crop and hope
that some day it may he grown with
success on a large scale, but our ex
perience and observation does not lead
us to believe that it is as well adapted
to conditions this country as in the
west. We are inclined to think that it
is not being grown on a very extensive
scale in Virginia even though some far
mers have used large quantities of lime
and gone to much expense to establish
the crop.
Bermuda will quickly cover the land
in question and will make you the best
sod for carrying live stock which can
be utilized in the southeastern states.
We are using it on waste land on the
college farm with success. We fell sure
you will find that it has as much carry
ing capacity per acre as blue grass and
it will withstand the viscissitudes of
our climate better than any other grass
with which we are acquainted.
I am glad to know that you hope to
attend the short course at the college,
and I fell sure you ■will secure much
information which will be of benefit
to you, and you will have no difficulty
in specializing along the lines in which
you are interested.
