That we can make rapid and substan tial progress if we apply ourselves to the task properly Is shown bv what has been accomplished in Georgi# tn the last few years. According to the census figures of 1310 we possessed animals of the several classes to the number and value Indicated below: Number. Value. Horses 120.067 >14.193.833 Mules 295.348 43.9T4.6H Beef and dairy cat- t1e1.080,316 ,14.060.958 Sheep 187,644 30R.212 5wine1.783,684 5.429,016 T0ta13.467.059 877,966,636 According to the bureau of crop esti mates the figures for 1916 are as fol lows: Number. Value. Horses 127.000 $16,383,000 Mules 324,000 52.812.000 Beef and dairy cat- tale 1,104,000 26.579.0D0 Sheep 150,000 420.000 5wine2,585,000 23.265,000 i T0ta14,290,000 $119,459,000 The increase in numbers for the period mentioned amounts to 822,941 and the increase in value to $41,492,364. Part of this increase in value is attributable to the better grade of live stock and the higher market values pertaining, but a very considerable amount of it <s due to the greater number of animals I now owned. For instances, horses and mules show an Increase, beef and dairy cattle a slight increase, sheep a falling off. but swine an increase of 801,316, or well on towards the million mark. This is a very notable increase to have oc curred in a period of six years. More over, where these animals had an aver age value of $3.04 In 1910. they now have an avA-age value of $9.00, showing that the quality has been greatly ad vanced. In other words, the increase in value of swine In Georgia in six years j amounts in round numbers to about $18,000,000. This gives some idea of the forceful ness of an educational campaign organ ized and conducted along certain lines. While all pf the increase is not attrib utable to any one agency, the boys’ live I stock clubs have exerted a marvelous in fluence by creating a renewed interest .in swine husbandry in inducing the ; fathers to purchase pure-bred animals | for them, and thereby raising the qual . ity of the stock kept on many farms. Naturally. the various organizations concerned have endeavored in every way to encourage the use of preventive serum with the result that large numbers of outbreaks of this disease have been checked at the start, and hundreds of farmers taught how to use the serum properly. The county agents are un doubtedly to be credited with having ac complished a work along this line worth millions of dollars to the swine owners lof the state. They were the men on the ground when the outbreaks occurred and their prompt action and public serv ice work in this direction can not be too highly commended. I have no doubt but that they have done an equally im -1 portant work in every other southern ‘ state. M mong the things which must be done is to teach the southern farmer to quit fighting grass Grass should be his most valuable friend and most high ly prized asset. The cotton farpier has been taught to fight grass from in fancy; therefore, it seems that he is un willing to have any of it on any part of his land whether he devotes it to cotton or not. One cannot grow and maintain live stock successfully with • out grass. It is needless to enxer into j detail as to the great variety of grasses ; and clovers which may be provided for , summer and winter grazing and which 'would shortly clothe our hills and pre vent their erosion if given opportunity I to do so. They would also add materially Jto the carrying capacity of the land, shorten the length of time we would have to stall feed our animals, enable us to improve the quality of our live stock, and give us the necessary suc i culent food for the cheap maintenance |of live stock in the summer which i silage affords in the winter. ■ Speaking of the educational campaign it is proper to state that hundreds of silos have been built in Georgia in the last few years as a result of the work done by the animal husbandry divi sion and the extension force of the State College of Agriculture. Flans have been tarnished to thousands of farmers and they have been aided in erecting the t.tces- ary structurer. They have also I ecu advised as to the crops to f,rcw ar;d as to the methods of feeding to follow with the result'that the silo is :»cw regarded by many as an indispen slblc factor in thi maintenance of beef and dairy cattle on a neconctnlcai and ptactical baa's. Gnl> a beginning has been made In this dlrectioii, however, for the time mut-:t shortly come when there will be thousands of e los in every southern state if we are to develop our live stock business to the degree which is necessary and essential. Only a word can be said inlthis con nection relative to the feeding of live stock, hut it is along this line that more failures are recorded than .n any other direction. Self criticism is not pleas ant. bitt if we realize that for the most part we are ’ babes in the woods” when It comes to the question of feeding, we will make progress all the more rapid ly. The problem of animal nutrition is a complicated one froth every point of view. One must understand the compo sition of foodstuffs, and the anatomy, physiology and requirements of the ani mal body for maintenance, for growth and for work. One must ir.derstand how to combine foods in order io pro mote digestion and circulation; in oth er words, how to lubricate the machine most cheaply and successfully. The animal in the stall corresponds to the knitting machine in the mill. It may or may not do effective work. It all depends on the manner In which it is set up and manipulated. It must be adjusted and oiled and lubricated. The animal must be fed and watered and cared for prop erly If expected to produce a profitable return. As to the amount of fooostuffs available, our supply may be limited In some respects, but we can produce i silage ad libitum, and this can be fed 1 with success for six months of the year. Summer pastures can be provided by i the farmer who has the ambition to do so. Grain crops of a great variety may Ibe had to use as concentrates. We can increase our yields of corn, oats, pea nuts. soy beans, velvet beans and cotton seed meal. No section of the country may be better supplied with the varie ty of foodstuffs essential to the proper I nourishment of all classes of live stock , 'han the soißh. It is a question of I choosing from the rich field of possible [supply and combining nature's gifts in the proper manner. THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1917. That feed problem is a determining factor in economic produtcion is shown by the following example. A dairy cow fed on a ration of thirty-six pounds of silage and 6 pounds of cottonseed meal produced a profit of $51.75 from butter when sold at 30c a pound. When fed on a ration of 36 pounds of silage, 7 pound* of hay and 5 pounds of mixed grain, th? profit at the same sale price was $37.1a. When fed on a ration of 12 pounds of silage. 10 pounds of hay and 10 pounds of mixed grain, the profit fell to $24 - 43. In other words, one ration was more than twice as profitable as an other. This example will apply with e<iual force to the economic maintenance of horses and niules. beef and dairy cattle, sheep and swine. The feeding of live stock may be a gamble at pres ent. and if so, the cards stack them selves against the owner every time. In telligence and skill and the essential knowledge on which correct nutrition is predicated must be possessed by the successful stockman. I emphasize, therefore, the necessity of encouraging hundreds of boys In the south to take 1 the necessary courses of instruction in our agricultural colleges that they may become aqualnted with the science and art of animal nutrition and become ex perts in the handling of live stock. Un til this is done our progress will be of the more or less blundering* variety and our losses will be so frequent as to dis courage rather than promote what in the very nature of the situation should always be one of our most important and constructive industries. The stockman must give consideration to quality in his animals. If he is not willing to do this he can not hope to succeed. The south is very backward in this direction. We are securing a very small return for instance, from the dairy cows we maintain. In fact, a large per cent of them are unprofitable. It may not seem credible to every per son. but it is true nevertheless that a cow giving 300 pounds of butter fat in a lactation period made the same profT as forty-one cows each yielding 131 pounds of butter in a lactation period. The reason for this lies in the fact that it costs so much to maintain an animal. The food consumed in maintenance is not used for productive purposes. A cow of limited assimilative capacity can only utilize so much food. We may feed her more than a given amount but she w'astes the balance. She is not an economical manufacturer of milk and butter. We must get rid. therefore, of the thief in the dairy herd, and wc should remember that there are thou sand/ of them. The same is true of our baef cattle and our sheep and swine. We muat get rid of the scrub stock, the slow devloper. and the animal which can not eat an unusually large amount of food and assimilate and di gest it to advantage and manufacture therefrom some food substance of value to the owner and to the human race. We must come to understand that animals are just as individualistic as human beings and we must get rid of the low grade stock we possess if we are to be sucessful and prosperous as live stock farmers. • ♦ • A COMPARISON OF VELVET BEANS AND COTTON MEAL. J. J. R., Lanier, Ga.. writes: How <lo velvet henna ground up with the inilla com pare with cottonseed meal as a food and fertiliser’ Would they make a good fer tiliser when mixed with acid phosphate? Velvet beans when ground with the hull contain about 16.5 per cent of protein. 4.6 pr cent of fait. 10.3 per cent fiber. 54.9 per cent of carbohydrates. A ton of velvet beans ground with the hulls contains about 56.8 lbs. nitrogen. 16 lbs. phosphoric acid. 34.4 lbs. potash. The beans make a very good stock feed and can be fed to almost any class of stock with advantage. They are probably best mixed in the proportion of equal parts with corn or corn and cob meal. Beans are relatively cheaper than corn at the present price. One might, therefore, make a mixture of two-thirds beans and one-third corn and cob meal. Velvet beana are not nearly so rich as cottonseed meal. In other words, if a ton of beans ground with the hulls can be purchased at $20.00, the feeding value of a good grade of cottonseed meal would not be far from $40.00. A high grade cotton seed meal contains about 140 libs, of nitrogen. 54 lbs. of phosphoric acid. 36 lbs. of potash. Tn other words, it contains 2 1-2 times as much nitrogen and nearly 3 l-.'l times as much phosphoric acid as beans with the hulls. Os course, velvet beans ground with the hulls can be mix ed with an equal amount by weight of acid phosphate and a fair fertilizer ob tained for corn and cotton. It would naturally be rather low in nitrogen and potaab. The latter we cannot help by reiscn of existing circumstances, but I think nitrogen could be Increased to ad vantage. While neither velvet beans nor cottonseed meal should be used di rectly as fertilizer, 1 would prefer to use the cottonseed meal in place of the velvet beans if it could be bought at anything like the same relative price when their plant food and fertilizing value is concerned. The neople in your community should grind their beans and use them for stock food. They could be fed to ad vantage to hogs, which is not true; of course, of cottonseed meal. WANTS A CHEAP RATION FOR HIS HOGS. J. R. >(., Ducktown. Tenn., writes: I have two pigs four months old. I want to kill one this winter and raise the other for a atoak bog. 1 .an get >i fed thnt anal yses 14.5 per cent protein. 50 per cent carbohydrates, 4 per cent fat and 8 per cent fiber, for $2.(17 per cwt. Corn meal costa me $1.65 per bushel. Which would you adi isc me to use? There !■ no pas turage here. If situated as you are we would en deavor to raise the pig in question on corn meal at $1.65 per bushel in prefer ence to paying $2.67 per hundred weight for material showing the analysis indi cated in your letter. Corn meal of itself, you understand, does not make a satis factory ration for hogs because it is low in protein and ash mater. On that account you should feed something along with it. This material can be provided in part by using kitchen slop provided you keep soap powders and broken dishes and glass out of it. The corn meal can be reduced to a semiliquid form with the slop. If you can secure some skim milk to feed with the corn meal your problem is already solved, as it will supply the necessary protein and some considerable amount of ash matter as well. In any event you should give the hogs considerable range so they may travel about and thereby secure exercise which will kep them in good condition. They will also gather up a considerable amount of mineral matter and some food as well, and this will tend to counteract the effect of feeding a ration of corn slone. if yon can grow any legumes such as cowpeas, garden peas, soy beans or any of the clovers seed some of them right away so as ’ to provide a grazing crop for your hogs and thereby keep them in a much better condition as to health and insure a more rapid growth and development than if you provide no succulent feed whatever. THE EEEEt'T OE ADVANCED LACTA TION ON MILK. .1. W. Rome, Ga., writes: 1 would like some advice about my cow. She is old and due to freshen the first of May. There is something wrong with the milk: it does not clabber good when churning. It foams up and doits not make butter and has an of fensive smell. We fed meal and hulls and some cotton seed, velvet bean hay and some shucks. The milk of cows far advanced in lactation is often difficult to chrun. This is supr»osed to be due to the advance stage of the lactation period, also to the fact that at this season of the year farmers generally feed dry and unpal atable rations. The desirable food for a dairy cow is one of succulent nature. Possibly there is a little green feed available in some cereal field you may have on your farm and if the ground is not too wet allowing the cow to graze on oats or rye would probably be help ful. It is often necessary, where one is feeding cottonseed meal, to raise the churning temperature by about 10 de green. and it is sometimes necessary to use what is known as a starter. This consists of a small amount of milk which has cured normally and contains lactic acid bacteria. This small amount of milk, say a pint or so, should be add ed to the fresh milk as it Is drawn from the cow and the whole allowed to stand at a uniform temperature, after it has been mixed thoroughly, for about 24 hours before churning. You could probably secure some fermenting milk from, a neighbor to use as a starter. Sometimes foaming, or the failure to clabber, is due to an invasion of the milk by an objectionable form of bac teria. These can generally only be eliminated by a thorough scalding and scrubbing of the utensils used and these exposed to sunlight for a considerable length of time. • » • TREATING INDIGESTION IN HOGS. A. M. F., Ocilla. Ga., writes: I have six fine pigs that were taken away from 'their mother at five weeks of age. They are now two weeks old and are having trouble with their bowels. 1 have been feeding them buttermilk, com bread and corn. What shall I do for them? Young pigs often suffer from indi gestion, especially shortly after wean ing. unless they are very carefully and skilfully handled. They are very likely to take cold at this season of the year by reason of the change of weather and the exposure to cold rains. You should see that they have a. warm, dry bed In which to sleep and the litter changed often enough to keep it dry and in good condition. It is very desirable that the feeding troughs be kept clean and there is nothing better to use for this purpose than salsoda. Overfeeding is to be avoided as much as underfeeding. We do not consider corn a satisfactory food for young pigs. We would be dis posed to cut out the oom for a while and feed them on skim milk or butter milk and shorts. a fairly thin slop with the concentrate mentioned. A tendency to diarrhoea can often be corrected by using a little digester tankage. Only a small amount should be used. You can secure this through any of the large packing houses. It is a valuable food material to have on hand where one is handling hogs in any considerable number. One should always be suspicious of sickness among hogs, of course, as there is danger of an outbreak of cholera. If the condi tion does not right itself after the pur suit of the suggestions given you should send for your county agent and have the hogs inoculated with preven tive serum. GERMAN MILLET AS A CATCH CROP. D. J. S., Chester, Ga.. writes: I have been thinking of planting German hay grass. Do you consider it good for hay, and when should it be planted? I have been asked a dollar a pound for the seed. Do you not think that is high? By German hay grass you no doubt mean German millet. This is a crop which may be grown with considerable success In Georgia for hay. It may be planted either alone or in combina tion with cowpeas. It can be sown any time after the ground warms up in the spring until the first of August. It requires from sixty to ninety days in which to mature a hay crop. In favor able seasons and when planted early we have seen It yield two cuttings a year. When combined with cowpeas it has the advantage of helping to hold the vines off the ground and of mak ing a hay not quite so rich in protein, and therefore better adapted as a feed for horsts and mules than cowpeas or millet alone. It is best cut when it is in the dough stage, and it should be mown like any other hay and cured in cocks in the field. You have been asked too much for seed as you should be able to buy it for $2 a 1 Millet seed is largely produced in T.- > • .»e. It would be a mistake to plan., t at this season of the year. • • • FERTILIZING VALUE OF VOIDED COTTON MEAL. R. R. W., Durham, Ont., writes: When feeding the best grade of cottonseed meal to cattle 1 what is its after value per ton as a -fertilixer? I seeded a field with sweet clover In oats last spring, and made r. .'air gis'wrb. W<n’d it have any value plowed under in May for corn? The best grade of cottonseed meal, which is known as choice cottonseed meal, contains about: 37 per cent digestible protein. 21 8 per cent digestible carbohydrates, 8.6 per cent digestible fat. Meal of this grade will contain per ton about: 141.2 pounds nitrogen, 54 pounds phosphoric acid, 36 pounds potash. At the prices prevailing for availa ble nitrogen and phosphoric acid a ton of cottonseed meal of the grade men tioned would contain more than $32 worth of plant food. Allowing 5 cents per ponud fro available potash it would contain over $34 worth. Os course, pot ash is practically unobtainable at the present time on account of war condi tions. therefore it would have a much higher relative value where its use is deemed essential. It has long been recognized, of course, that a large part of the nitrogen and mineral plant food contained in a food stuff is voided by manure animals. Our correspondent does not say whether he is feeding beef or dairy cattle. In case he is feeding the former and taking good care of manure he should be able to preserve 75 per cent of the value of the fertilizing constituents and return to the land. In the case of beef cat tle the figures would probably approx imate 85 or- 90 per cent. It is presum ed in this calculation that the manure is being kept under a shed and pro tected from washing and leaching and while compacted it Is still sufficiently moist to prevent it from fire-fanging. Upon the basis indicated, therefore, the fertilizing value of the manure result ing from the feeding of a ton of cotton seed meal would be $25 and upwards.

VtfW ROGERS FUR COMPANY Dept. aoe Su Loui> « Ma Only Through Education Can South Become Rich in Material Things BY BISHOF W. A. CANDLEB. Dean Holmes, of the Pennsylvania State college, has been making a care ful computation of facts and figures from which he reaches the conclusion that a college education is worth in money $20,0(10. He says that the aver age non-college graduate earns $5lB a year, while his brother, the college graduate, earns $1,187. Estimating the working period of man’s life as thirty years, and multiplying the difference between $5lB and $1,187 by thirty, the result is $20,070. The calculation of Dean Holmes is interesting, and while it cannot be ac cepted ar perfectly accurate, of course, nevertheless, it does not overestimate the momentary value of education. The stimulating and informing power of in tellectual culture naturally and inevi tably increases the productive power of a man. Hence the mental develop ment of a young man by his collegiate training increases his earning capacity: he is worth more because he is, by his education, enabled to produce more. It follows from these facts that the most valuable resources of any people is found in their children, and that the development of human resoußzes must precede the development of all mate rial resources. New England perceived this obvious truth early in her history, and pro ceeded to establish and endow colleges, and the policy of providing first of all for the education of her children has enriched her nut of all proportion to her ,material resources. She cannot claim superior agricultural resources. In her hills she mines no gold or silver or iron or copper. She is without vast coal deposits, and has no oil wells. Her flocks and herds are Inconsiderable: for her pasture lands are restricted and her winters long and severe. But notwithstanding all these disad vantages, New England has grown rich, and is growing richer. Massachusetts has only about one seventh the area of Georgia, and her material resources are far inferior to those of Georgia. But the assessed val uation of property in Massachusetts ts $8,214,795,380, or $2,237 per capita, while the assessed valuation of prop erty in Georgia is $951,763,472. or $340 per capita. Why this difference? Allowance must be made for the ef fects of the war. perhaps. But the war is fifty years and more behind us. With Georgia's superior resources, she ought to have gained on Massachusetts far more in these fifty years. There may be some difference in the methods employed in ascertaining the as sessed valuation of property in Massa chusetts and Georgia. But when every explanation is made that can be justly offered, Georgia is far behind and Massachusetts is far ahead in the matter of material possessions. Why? The main reason is that the people have been educated more generally In Massachusetts than in Georgia. The colleges and universities of Mas sachusetts are worth more than all the institutions of higher learning in the entire south. If we were to follow the West Point railway from Atlanta to the Alabama line, and thence follow the Alabama line northward to the Tennessee line, and thence follow the Tennessee line east ward to a point near Knoxville, and thence follow the Louisville and Nash ville railway back to Atlanta, the start ing point, we would inclose an area slightly larger than Massachusetts. But within such a restricted area in Massa chusetts are Harvard university, Bos ton university, Williams college. Tufts college and Amherst college, for men. and all these institutions are rich and growing richer. For our purpose no men tion need be made of the technical schools, the strictly theological schools and the institutions for the higher edu cation of women in Massachusetts, al though in these institutions are invested millions of dollars for buildings, grounds, libraries, apparatus and endow ments. These institutions of learning in Mas sachusetts have developed the people, and her skilled people, with enhanced productive powers, have made the vast wealth of the Bay state. Such would be the case in Georgia if our educational enterprises were as strong and effective as those of Massa chusetts. But Georgia has been afflicted by some blind leaders who have committed the egregious blunder of taxing college endowments for the last forty years, during the period when it was most im perative to encourage the upbuilding of our educational institutions. These men have done nothing for the higher educa tion of our people, and they have dis couraged others from doing anything. Happily they are losing their leader ships, as they richly deserve to lose it. The have forfeited the confidence of the people by opposing enlightenment anfi progress. A new era has opened. And in this new era it behooves us to make progress with all speed in order that we may retrieve as soon as possible the injury inflicted upon the state by Make more Money Pull stumps > J I Clear your stump land I cheaply—no digging, no '■ expense for teams and SBH I powder.

But our material interests are not our highest interests, and education yields something nobler and better than the power to make money. •Commenting upon the calculations of Dean Holmes a leading paper in New York says: “Averages are not convincing, and such a calculation omits a hundred items which ought to enter into the calculation. For example, what about the minister or teacher or so cial worker who finds in his col lege years the inspiration which calls him aside from the scramble for riches, and opens to him a career of service whose worth to the community is by no means measured by the support he re ceives in cash? “The earnings of graduates form no standard by which to appraise the work of the colleges. To be sure these institutions teach how to do things for which wages are paid, but that, after all. is the least that they db. The Christian college— and an unchristian college is worse than none at all—makes Its most valuable contribution to society by combining with its general and tech nical instruction the inculcation of principles which are at the founda tion of character. No t money makers but manhood —deveoped manhood —forms its true product.” These are wise words. Education is valuable not only for what it enables men to DO, but chiefly for what it en ables them to BE. Educated men render services also that are far more valuable than the in comes which they earn for themselves. Take for example the discovery made by Dr. Reid, In Cuba, that yellow fever is transmitted by a certain species of the mosquito. Without that discovery the Panama canal could not have been constructed; for the ravages of fever would have destroyed the men sent to build it faster than their ranks could have been refilled by other laborers. Such was the insuperable difficulty which made DeLesseps fail In his efforts to build It. With the discovery of Dr. Reid our South Atlantic and Gtflf ports have been rid of the pestilence, and multiplied thousands of valuable and productive lives have been saved. Who can estimate the immeasurable value of that one discovery! Yet for his labor Dr. Reid received only the meager compensation of an army surgeon. He was the son of a minister who put all he had into the education of his son, and in so doing he blessed the south more than have all the cheap poli ticians who have lived during the last hundred years. Alas! what precious lives were lost before Dr. Reid’s discovery. They per ished for lack of knowledge. What a cgstly thing is ignorance! It costs more than education. We are most wasteful of our highest and most valuable resource when we fail to educate our sons and daughters. Will we wait longer to stop this wild waste? The Mogul Kerosene Tractor in a New Size IN 1915 we introduced the Mogul kerosenes .tractor in a two-plow size. It met with instant and continued approval, so much so that it has far outsold all other tractors of its rated horse power put together.
