Soule, president State Agricultural College, Athens, Ga. THE VALUE OF A STALLION LICENSE LAW Recognizing: the great losses which farmers suffer through utilizing in their horse breeding operations undesirable types of stallions and mares several states have undertaken the licensing of stallions. In some instances the law was enacted as long as five or six years ago, and has therefore been in effect long enough to enable some data to be gathered relative to its value and ef ficiency in accomplishing the purpose in view. The idea of licensing stallions seems to have originated from the system ot veterinary inspection instituted by the Royal Shire Horse society of England. The work was early taken up in the Province of Victoria, Australia, and valuable data on this subject have been printed and distributed by its depart ment of agriculture. Wisconsin was one of the states to first take up the li censing of stallions in this country. Therefore, a number of citations ot from their experience, and reference to the principal ideas contained -in their law will not be inappropriate at this time. Dr. Alexander, who has charge of the registration of stallions in that state, reports in a recent bulletin some interesting data with reference to the values of well bred as compared with low bred horses. He shows, for instance, that horses by purebred stallions at four years old and over were each worth $303. and horses by grade stallions at the same age, $200.20, a difference in favor of the horses by the pure bred stallions of $102.80. This one fact should be sufficient to convince every farmer who is interested in the breed ing of horses of the necessity of us ing only pure bred sires of a well de fined type and mares of superior excel lence. Our farmers and breeders seem rath er slow to realize the potential power which the pure bred sire will confer on the business or horse breeding. As a matter of fact, our grade horses at the present time do not fall uijder any special classification save that of mon grels. Many of them are unfitted for service on the road because of inherent hereditary defects. Some of them are over size for this purpose, though too small to class as draft animals, while the great majority have not sufficient weight to enable their use to the best advantage on the average southern farm where a new type of Implement of greater draft than was formerly used must now be employed. By improving the grade of our horses, we can add in the course of three to five years an average of $50 to $100 to their value. This has been amply illustrated in the few states where attention to the li censing of sires has been directed through the enactment of a state law. Probably few farmers realize how quickly grading up may be accom plished. Starting with a grade mare of no special breeding but * possessed of quality and fgree from hereditary de fects, the offspring by a pure bred stal lion will in six generations become practically a pure blood, though not entitled to registration. Thus the trans formation from the grading up process can be accomplished in # a comparative ly short time, and though the farmer may only have a limited number of mares which he can afford to use as foundation stock, it will not be long un til he can* develop as many breeding animals as his farm will support. While the greatest care and attention must be given to the selection of the dams the stallion is by far the more important element irtf the grading-up process. It -becomes of interest and general importance, therefore, to ascer-* tain through what means a state like Wisconsin, for instance, has accomplish- Hew John Quit His Faithful Wife Gave Him Golden Remedy Secretly in His Tea, Coffee and Food.

Name Street • • City State .. • • • • .1 (Advt.) ed the licensing of stallions. In brief, the law which first went into effect in 1.106, and has been amended twice since that date, carries the following pro vision: “Each owner of a stallion be fore using or offering it for public serv ice, for pay or free of charge, at home or away from home, shall obtain a li cense certificate from the department of horse breeding of the State College of Agriculture, and shall have it re corded with th e register of deeds of the county in which the stallion is to be used. He must then post and keep af fixed during the entire breeding sea son, copies of the license certificate of his stallion or jack in a conspicuous place both within and on the outside of every stable or building where the Jack or stallion is used for public serv ice/’ The ruling of the attorney gen eral in Wisconsin is to the effect that service fees can not be collected where the stallion or jack is not licensed and properly advertised in accordance with the requirements of this law. This law is comparatively simple and easy to put into effect and carry out. It will injure no one who is engaged in the legitimate business of horse breed ing. It will largely eliminate the scrub sire, protect the owners of mares, and tend to improve the quality of the horses, as has been shown by the quo tation cited in the early part of this article. In the state of Wisconsin licences of five kinds are issued. First, to pure bred animals. These are only grant ed to stallions or jacks which are reg istered in the stud books recognized by the department of agriculture, at Wash ington, D. C. Second, to cross breds. This certificate is given to any stallion which has a pure-bred registered sire of one breed, and a pure-bred register ed dam of a different breed. These ani mals, of course, are not subject to reg istration in any stud book recognized by the department of agriculture, at Washington, and can not be depended on to transmit the qualities of either parent with certainty. Third, non-stan dard bred. This certificate is given to stallions recorded as non-standard bred in the American Trotting Regis ter. Fourth, grades. This certificate is given to stallions proved to be by pure-bred sires or out of pure-bred dames. Fifth mongrels or scrubs. This certificate is only given to stallions neither of whose parents are pure-breds. The certificates issued bear the follow ing legend: The University of Wisconsin, College of Agriculture, Department of Horse Breeding. Certificate of (class of stal lion.) Stallion No The breeding of the stallion.Owned by....... Postoffice County Foaled in the year Color Marks Certified sound by Examined by the Horse Breeding Department of the College of Agriculture, and certified that the said stallion is of breeding. This certificate is signed by the dean of the College of Agriculture and the professor in* charge of the department of horse breeding, the date of issue be ing stated at the bottom. The practicability of a statute of this character for the average American commonwealth has been fully demon strated from the fact that some sixteen states are licensing stallions. The need of more and better horses in the south is everywhere apparent. We cannot hope to develop this industry on a basis commensurate witn our needs un less we are willing to eliminate the scrub sire. This can only be done where the state enacts a law somewhat similar to that described in this paper, and rigidly inspects and licenses the stal lions offered for public service. What objection can there be to a law of this character? The small fee charged the owner of the stallion will provide for the cost of inspection without the state’s making a special appropriation for this purpose. The tax will not be burden some on the owner of the animal nor upon the farmers who use the stallion. The owner of a mare has some protec tion where such a law exists, and at once the weeding out process begins. It is marvelous that in spite of the prog ress we have made in so many directions we should still be permitting the scrub sire to be used the ancestry of winch has been diseased for generations, and is, therefore, almost certain to trans mit such disease as roaring or whistling, heaves, ophthalmia, St. Vitus’ dance, stringhalt and spavin to succeeding gen erations. The farmer who uses a scal lion of this type has everything' to lose and nothing to gain. It costs no more to feed and care for a good *ani- mal than one of the miserable make shifts which are now so frequently ob served in use because the owners do not realize the certainty with which un desirable qualities will be transmitted to the offspring. It is the dfaty as well as the privilege of the state to takb up a matter of this kind and offer pro tection to its citizens, and encourage a line of industry which i s essential to the proper development of the agricul ture of every southern commonwealth. _ c&Ujuiy ficciatin l this Shews how to earn swell tailored-to-order suit in an hour.

I am giving it milk from a cow which has a calf four months old. It h^p the scours. The case of scours abojit which you inquire Is due probably to overfeeding, to use the milk when it is cold or sour, to a failure to properly cleanse the utinsels used for holding the milk or may be that the other forms of food given the calf are' causing irri tation. We believe that you can "cure this troublS by using one part of form alin to 4,000 parts of milk. This treat ment has, been used with great effect in the treatment and cure of white calf scours. It is the simplest and best method of combatting this disease with which we are acquainted. You will have no difficulty in getting formalin from any drug store. * * * BUILDING UP A RUN-DOWN MULE. J. V„ Statesboro, Ga., writes: I would like to know what to do for my mule. He has a good appetite but seems to be very weak and has no life. t - The condition about which you write ! is not uncommonly met with at this j season of the year. The weather has been extremely hot, and it is possible that you have been overworking your mule and not feeding the ration best adapted to the hot weather conditions. You make no statement in your letter as to the concentrates being fed and I feel quite sure you are depending large ly. on corn. Corn of itself is a heating and fattening food, and you will find your ration greatly improved if you will feed twelve to fourteen pounds of corn and cob meal to which you have GREATEST CARE SHOULD ALWAYS BE USED TO CURE PEAVINE HAY No doubt many farmers—especially if a rainy spell has come along—are sorely tried by the length of time required for curing cowpea hay. Usually in fall when cool weather intervenes the peas require a week' laying in the swath to dry sufficiently before it is safe to store it in the barn. Then again, just when the hay is in the proper stage to rake in windrows, and this is accom plished, a pour down of rain starts them to moulding. It is unnecessary to say that hay of this quality is not desirable for home feeding, and cannot be sold at any price. The only use it can be made to serve is to turn it under for fertilizer, where it can repay its initial expense by providing plant food for the next crop. The shock method of curing cowpea hay is not a Hew one, but after trav eling over an extensive territory it is astonishing to note that but few prominent agriculturalists have given it much consideration; and, if so, have failed to give publicity to it. For a number of years we have followed out the different methods of curing cowpeas, but only recently have we become convinced of the superiority of the shock method over any other so far advised. hTe first thing that struck us, and made us sit up and consider, was the waste ensuing through the old way; the astonishing amount of leaves lost, which the agricultural colleges informed us possessed the same feeding value as wheat bran. Moreover, by the old way hay was permitted to become too ripe; and, while in this state had not the lusciousness and proper feeding value of hay cut before ripening and, cured in shocks. Too many farmers have laid undue stress on securing a seed crop as well as a hay crop from the same field. However, if the farmer is extremely insistent about this, the shock method of curing has little to recommend it; for the loss of leaves while the pods are ripening hardly warrants the extra amount of care. After many trials cow- peas were sown early as possible after settled warm weather had arrived, Whippoorwills, New Eras and the great est of all pea hay mixtures, the Black and Red vining sorts with sufficient sorghum to hold them for the machine. Just after the first few peas had begun to ripen, the mower was set to work until the whole field was cut down. They were allowed to remain on the ground until wilted. Then raked up and put into medium sized shocks. They were left there for three days, though, occasionally we examined them to see if they were heating, and if so, the shock was merely torn down and rebuilt. The third day we went over the shocks— naturally a bright day was chosen—the shocks were divided into four separate layers and placedi on the ground, where they were permitted to lay until the following day. The^next day they were constructed as before, loosely. Four days afterwards this process of airing was repeated; and the day after the airing they were hauled to the barn, right from the piles on the ground. When stored in the mow, care was ex ercised so that no tramping was done on them, that tl^ey might settle natur ally from their own weight. None of the leaves were lost, at least only a ridiculously • small portion, scarcely worthy of notice. When winter came we began to feed the hay, and were delightfully sur prised to behold the brightest, clean, tempting green colored hay we had ever seen. In fact, the stock pre ferred it to alfalfa or other hay made on the place, consuming - " even the coarsest stems with great relish. On this hay alone a herd of Jersey cattle acquitted themselves creditably. One heifer with nothing else but a win ter pasture of indifferent value, aver aged fourteen pounds of churned butter a week. However, hay of such excellent qual ity was not the only thing gained by this early cutting—for when it was done many of the plants were only yet in bloom. The field after cutting was sacredly withheld from pasturing of any kind of stock. Two rains came, and we were pleased in three w r eeks, just ten days before the first killing frost, to see another crop from the original vines maturing. A valuable second growth which made a yield al most equal to that of the first cutting. In the field where vining black, Red Clay and sorghums had been sown to gether, the second crop produced a third more hay than the first. The de capitated sorghum stalks suckered so extensiye that they were not woody, and accomplished something, then un anticipated; choking out the wild fox tail, which had formerly been an un welcome pest in this particular field, The peas grew in proportion to the cane, and made a remarkable quantity of vine. Sorghum with vining peas prior to the adoption of the shock method of- curing had not met with much favor from us; but"'Alas! we were agreeably surprised to discover that through this semi-sweating and airing system, t;he cane cured admirably, without the usual taint of mold; and helped to bal ance the feeding value of the nay. Sowing peas, and harvesting them earlier than was the custom, has in advertently solved the problem of in suring a fall stand of grass, especially timothy, better than any way we have so far attempted. So many of us have mailed to obtain a good stand of grass in fall owing- to the usual excessively dry conditions. On this account we have like a number of others put the task aside until the freezing periods had almost arrived. This procedure had not always been satisfactory, for the hard bite of winter frequently placed a heavy toll on the young delicate shoots of grass. But after we had become ac quainted with the tendency of early sown peas to reproduce themselves—al most spontaneously by a new growth the same year—we decided on using this as a nurse crop for grass. When we had accomplished cutting the pea crop, the ground was as loose as any tool of man could make it. Nevertheless, the ground wasttaoinnnn once both ways with a disk harrow, then once with a spring tooth. Grass was then sown broadcast, and dragged in with a common log drag. The second growth of peas came as usual, the grass also; and, though rain did not visit us but once during the latter part of Sep tember and October, the grass made an excellent stand under its leguminous nurse crop; and by November 1, after frost had stricken its guardian, the blades were of sufficient height to with stand well a very severe winter. The next spring the grass made, on account of the abundance of available nitrogen, better growth than on an adjoining field in its second year. Take Your Own Time To Pay added a couple of pounds of cotton seed meal. These concentrates should be thoroughly mixed together. Another good ration would be six to eight pounds of corn, five to seven pounds of oats and two pounds of cotton seed meal. It is important that these constituents be thoroughly mixed before feeding. Water your mule before rather than after feeding and give an abundance of clean, bright hay or fodder. This is a very important matter. Do not work too vigorously, especially in the hot part of the day. It is often necessary to rest animals, as you no doubt know, from time to time. Some green feed and pas ture at night will be helpful and will enable your mule to recuperate more rapidly. We think attention to these suggestions will enable you to over come the trouble about which you write. t * * * ^ MANAGEMENT OF A PEACH ORCHARD H. A. 0., Adrian. Ga., writes: I would like a plan for the keeping and taking care of peach trees from the time they are set out. What kind of land should they be set in and how should It be prepared’? I want to start an orchard but want some help in regard to keeping the San Jose and blight off. What are the best varieties to set from early to late? The best kind of soil for* peach trees is a gavelly loam, well drained and with proper exposure. The land should be well prepared before the trees are plant ed and the rows properly laid off and the ground open up to a considerable depth, and especially is this important in case there is a hard pan. It will pay to spend some time in making a good sized hole to receive your tree. A stick of dyna mite will aid materially in loosening up a tight soil at a moderate cost. After the trees arc set if the land is low in vegetable matter such leguminous crops as the cowpea should be used in the summer and vetch and crimson clover in the winter. The nitrogen supply of the soil must be built up, though of course, t^ie excessive use of nitrogen is to be avoided with peach trees. The San Jose scale may be fought successfully by the concentrated or boiled lime sulphur solution in No vember and again in Februrary. Where the trees are not infested to begin with one spraying will generally be suffi cient. This solution should never be used while the trees are in leaf. Among the most profitable varieties CLEANSES YOUR HAIR, MAKES IT BEAUTIFUL It becomes thick, wavy, lus trous, and all dandnuff disappears Surely try a “Danderine Hair Cleanse” if you wish to immediately double the beauty of your hair. Just moisten a cloth With Danderine and draw it care fully through your hair, takjng one small strand at a time: this will cleanse the hair of dust, dirt or any excessive oil—in a few minutes you will be amazed. Your hair will be wavy, fluffy and abundant and possess an incom parable softness, lustre and luxuriance. Besides beautifying the hair, one ap plication of Danderine dissolves every particl& of dandruff; invigorates the scalp, stopping itching and falling hair. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating, stimulating and life-pro ducing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong and beautiful. You can surely have pretty, soft, lus trous hair, and lots of it, if you will just get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton’s Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and try it as directed. of peaches for you to plant for a good succession are Sneed, Greensboro, Geor gia Belle, fcarmen, Waddell, Elberta and Zell. These are standart sorts and have been pretty thoroughly tested .as to their value for Georgia conditions. The trees may be set in the fall or spring. We prefer fall planting. The trees should only be set after the leaves have fallen. If they can be put in the fall and the ground allowed to compact around the roots and settle through the heavy rains which fall in the winter season, an earl ier and more vigorous growth is likely to be obtained. Fertilizers for the peach vary according to the soil and location and method of management pursued. Liberal fertilization is advisable for this crop, though too much nitrogen should not be used. On light soils from 600 to 1,000 pounds per acre of a formula con taining about 9 per cent of phosphoric acid, 3.5 to 5 per cent of nitrogen and 6 to 8 per cent of potash should be used. On extremely sandy soils liberal appli cations of potash are considered essen tial. * * * DIPPING CATTLE TO DESTROY TICKS." S.

This may be used with a spray pump or a dipping vat. Of course, where one has a large num ber of cattle to handle a dipping vat is by all means the most economical and desirable agency to employ for the quick and effective destruction of ticks. The following is the formula: salsoda 24 pounds, white arsenic 8 pounds, pine tar 1 gallon. To this should be added sufficient water to make 500 gallons. Great care should be exercised in the preparation of the arsenical solution. A large tank or caldron to which heat may be applied either by fire or a Jet of steam is necessary. Twenty-five gallons of water should be brought to a boil. Then add the sal soda and stir until dissolved. Add the arsenic and again stir until dissolved. Allow the Solution to cool to 140 degrees Fah renheit. Dissolve one pound of concen trated lye In one quart of water and stir into the pine tar. • Then add the tar slowly in a thin stream to the so lution of soda and arsenic. ■ Stir thor oughly. Increase by the addition of water to 50 gallons. This is known as “stock” solution and is not ready for use until it has been reduced in strength by the addition or water at the rate of nine gallons "to each gallon of stock solution. Remember that ar senic is a deadly corrosive and great care must be exercised in its use. ... \ STANDARD FOR BERKSHIRE HOGS O.

NIGHBERT, Of the United Status Bureau of Animal Industry. T HE cattle industry of the United States is today worth $2,020,000,000; and the sale o*. uutter, milk and.beef amounts cb $888,000,000. Is there any wpnder then,' at the efforts on the pirt of the government, the states and the individual to safeguard, to improve, and to extend this industry? It is apparent that the beef and the dairy products, which for cen turies have been tbe principal part of the American diet, will soon be less plentiful than in former years, unless steps are taken to foster the cattle industry on the farms of the United States. It is not likely that dairy products will ever sell at a low price. High- priced lands, smaller pastures and an increased population will keep them in greater demand. Cattle, mqre than ever, are the most important part of the farm; and cattle-breeding is to become more important than at any time in the past. But the southern states, particu larly Georgia and the other South Atlantic states, have not kept pace with other sections in encouraging the cattle industry. The value of cattle on the farms in Georgia is hut half the value of cattle in other states. This condition accounts for the large annual expenditure in the south for cattle products produced elsewnere. For the first time in the history of the country, the southern states are presented with an opportunity, and are called upon to supply their proportion of the country’s needs in the matter of beef and dairy prod ucts. The middle west farmers are demanding cattle for their feed lots > and the eastern markets should no longer he required to ship fresh beef across the continent wuen better shipping facilities by either water or rail are closer at hand; therefore, it seems to be good business for Geor gia, a great farming region, to give special attention to developing a cat tle industry of great proportions. The state of Georgia was founded on the principles of “agriculture and commerce,” so why not take advan tage of this great natural and practi cal resource and extend our com merce in cattle and dairy products? Today Georgia is - not a cattle coun try but tomorrow she may be made one. There are a great many people who think Georgia farms and climate are not suitable for cattle-. It is true that there are many things to con sider in establishing a profitable cat tle industry. Among all of them there are some to be considered first. To illustrate: Before the Panama canal could be dug—even before the digging began, the territory had to be freed of agencies affecting man so that he might work under conditions favorable to his health. As a result the first step was to free the terri tory of diseases affecting man. The same precautions are necesary in the establishment of any great and worthy undertaking that means a benefit to the people now and in the future. The cattle fever tick, which trans mits disease to cattle, is one of the evils which makes the establishment of cattle hazardous and unprofitable. So as a first step this disease agency affecting cattle must be removed from the farms of the whole state. When this work has been acomplish- ed, the way is then open and safe to do all the things necesary to es tablishing the cattle industry and make it profitable on Georgia farms. (1) Eradicate the cattle tick. (2) Establish fences and pastures. (3) Provide feed for winter. (4) Improve home stock with the very best sires possible to obtain and con tinue to breed the best. These are not theories but facts, because it is known that the same principles are involved and must be considered in establishing good cat tle, no matter in what section of our country. The cheaper and greater the land area not utilized for actual farming operations and the greater possibility of having a variety of foreign crops, the more profit there is in cattle. In these particulars Georgia land own ers and farmers have an advantage. Less than fifty years ago the middle west was a great cattle pasture and these pastures were filed with cat tle, because land was cneap. That day has passed and today that sec tion is settled with smaller farmers, conducting general farming opera tions. It was found that cattle could not be produced and maintained without resort to producing feed for the cattle throughout the cold season, so the busines has been reduced to! smaller herds, depending on cattle from other sections tor feeding opera, tions. The idea now throughout the country is to have the smaller herds on the farm and more of them and this plan is being adopted and will continue to improve and be extended from year to year. In former years it was “the big pot in the little one.” Now things are reversed. It’s the small farmer and land owner that must receive special consideration because it is he that has clothed and fed the people of the past; he will continue it in the future. This is a day of concentration of efforts in all lines of industry. The object in mind of' both producer, consumer and user of all commodi ties is to demand the best at all times. It is well that Americans have this very idea, because it means high development of mind and accomplish ments along every line. A cattle industry will be estab lished in Georgia, because it is abso lutely necessary at this modern time of diversified plans of farming. Great yields cannot be had and continued without cattle and other live stock on the farm, that these crops may be utilized to the best advantage. When the cattle fever tick has been eradicated and the federal cat tle quarantine restrictions removed, we can honestly and conscientiously advocate the introduction of im proved cattle for breeding purposes. Feeding and marketing of cattle can then proceed unhampered. As a re sult of this improvement, cattle will be of the kind and quality that will be profitable to feed, the kind that the market demands, the products of which the consumer desires and will buy and use. Last year the work of eradication of tne cattle fever tick was complet ed in sixteen hundred square miles of territory in the state of Georgia and extended this year into seven thousand additional square miles. The people are awakened to the im portance of having more and better cattle on the farm. It has been found that the great proportion of land ly ing idle and unprofitable can be made into pastures for cattle and that these pastures from a grazing standpoint may he made equal to those of any other section of the country. Since the adoption of the work ot tick eradication in 1906 by the vari ous states interested, a territory nearly four times as large as the state of Georgia has been freed of this serious cattle disease. This work is accomplished and completed by use of the cattle dipping vat and the change of pasture method. The work may be completed on any given farm or a whole county within from four to eight months, depending on the co-operation of the cattle owner. The result of this work has stimu lated a great demand for improved cattle for breeding purposes. The south is looked upon by the breeders of pure bred cattle as a great fu ture market for their stock.
