Iu-the matter, of stock raising, these farmers have been greatly encouraged by exper muuts of the past year. Some of them turned aside from cot- ton long enough to improve and care for their sioOk, and the result is they feel likemaking something more than an experiment of it this year. The farmers have at last discovered that iu raidug stock on only a limited scale they have been slighting one of their bast and most remunerative in dustries, and it they shall put iuto execution the plans formulated iu.this respect f->r this year they will surely reap a rich reward!. * Home Supplies’* is a good motto for every Georgia farmer, this year and tor the years to come We read of a d»zau or more farmers in south west Georgia who have not only an aoundaoce ot home-raised meats for their own use, but axe supplying tsieir leas fortunate brethren tor miles ar-uud at a handsome profit.
