Those who have visited the South eastern Fair this week know that from every part of this country bet ter live stock is being grown. Com petition is stronger than ever. Prog ress is being made.

Last year the Calf Club had less than a dozen exhibits this year they have more than 50 ex hibits. If every boy and girl in the county had raised a calf or a pig of his own, this year it would have add ed more than one hundred thousand dollars to the wealth of the county and it is in demand now. Has your community made any improvement along these lines. Have you made improvement at your home this year. If not, resolve now to do better next year and also resolve to make your community better in these things which has the attention of the people of the entire country today. EAST SIDE.

Everybody invited v to come and hear bim. The Liberty Loan drive in Fayette county last Thursday was a success every way and every district the county subscribed more than the quota alloted to it and the county went several thousand dollars over. At 8 o’clock a bagd and several officers from Camp Gordon were met at College Park by our citizens and carried to the several district pre cincts. They stopped at Kenwood, Woolsey and Brooks, and one of the best din ners we ever witnessed was spread at ptar’s mill. We heard many soldiers say they, had not seen such a meal since they had been in the army. In the afternoon the crowd stopped at Line 'Creek, Tyronne, Union Grove and Fayetteville. We have not seen any one but that enjoyed the entire day. Some ven tured to say it was one of the best days the county ever had. Those who pledged to buy War Sav ings Stamps can get these at the Post Offices of Fayette county. You should buy every one you can. Our county likes a good sum of subscribing its quota. If you can buy $509, and bought only $20, you have not done your best. Don’t you want your boys over yonder to do their best? They pasture of one to two acres—sodded with grasses, like Bermuda grass, les- pedeza, white clover, etc. This pas ture should have plenty of shade and drinking wated for the cow. In Oc tober the garden or a part of the veg etable garden should be sown in oats or rye for winter pasture. The arim- raings from vegetables are relished by the cow. If you have a silo for oth er farm stock, provide that the family cow should get about thirty pounds per day during the winter months when pasture is not green and succu lent. If you do not have a silo, plant turnips, rutabagas, or stock beets in the garden for her. Also provide about ten pounds of peavine or other legume hay per day for winter use. The grain rations can often be made up of grain grown on the farm. A mixture of one part cottonseed meal, one part corn and cob meal and one part of velvet bean or peanut meal is good. Feed at the rate of one pound of this mixture to each three pounds of milk given per day, that is, if the cow gives 18 pounds of milk per day, she should have 6 pounds of grain; three pounds in the morning and three at night. The stall for the family cow should be dry, well lighted and kept clean by removing manure often. In the winter the stall should he bedded with straw, shavings or sawdust. Treat the cow as gently and kind ly as you would a human being and she will surely respond. Milk regu larly twice a day. It is best to have her freshen once every twelve months. Dry her off two weeks to a month before calving. Breed her to a good registered bull. Yours very truly, W. N. D. DIXON, County Agent. Approved: J. Phil Campbell, Director. A REAL MAN. TEXAS BEEF CATTLE TO BE SOLD AT GREAT SACRIFICE Never in the history of our state has there been such an opportunity for our farmers to buy registered and high grade cattle, at such low prices, as is now offered by the stock breed ers of Texas. As is generally known, the protract ed drouth in Texas makes it impossi ble for her to feed her cattle, so ranch-men are anxious to sell at prices ranging from $2.00 to $3.00 less per hundredweight on all grades of cattle than obtained last year at this time. The prices this year will range from $8.00 to $10.00 per hun dredweight. The Government Administration of Railroads has put in an emergency freight rate of one-lialf the regular rate, in order to meet this situation. Now is a great opportunity and under all these favorable conditions if our farmers do not take prompt advan tage of it they 1 may make a mistake. If any one is wanting Herefords, Short Horns, Angus or anj; other grades, whether feeders or Mockers, let it be known at once, and any one interested please advise their county agent or write 'us and we will help them. It is probable (hat a number of stock-men in each County commun ity could form a pool and buy to gether, which perhaps will work to advantage for all. Again, with suf ficient assurance, Texas dealers might hold sales at different points along our line for the benefit of the farm ers. 'Nothing in this matter can be ac complished unless we hear from our friends who are interested and we are anxious to see them avail them selves of this most unusual advanta- eous opportunity. Prospective purchasers should spe cify the number and kind of cattle they want, whether steers, heifers or calves. Farmers along the line of the A. B. & A.^failroad last year purchas ed through that company over 3,000 head of Texas cattle and these have proven a gratifying success. We would like to see every farmer along our line purchase some of those cat tle this year, because the mild win ters, natural pastures and long graz ing seasons of the South makes it one of the most desirable stock rais ing sections. Those who have en- It is pretty hard to assert your independence and defy the world when you have an empty pocket book and no bank account. The prudent man who has sav ed a little, who has a reserve at the Bank to tide him over a month or more, isn't s© afraid of sickness, or such a coward about being out of a job. A bank account is a stimu lant to real manhood. The larger the account, the firmer the footing. It breeds self-confidence, is a proof of efficiency, and an ever present resource in time of need. It's riot what a man earns in a year tl gives him a surplus, it's what saves. . \ Don’t make the mistake of wait ing nntil you are old to start sav ing. Start today. We give care ful attention to all accounts, large or small. are doing all tor you. When you ! gaged jin it have found it profitable come back and find out what you did how will they feel? They are beg ging the people at home to do their part. The allotment for this county was $20 for each man, woman and child. If your community has not done its part, get busy and see every individual. A little later I hope to publish what each community did about War Savings Stamps. It will represent you. There ought not to 'be a man, woman or child without a stamp. W. N. D. DIXON, Chairman. CARE OF THE FAMILY COW. Athens, Ga., October, 1918. The family cow on many Georgia farms is unknown, on many others and this industry has engaged the at tention of the Southern farmers ev erywhere. W. W. CROXTON, General Passenger Agent. YOUR PROFIT Great Rubber Producer. The Malay peninsula Is the largest rubber-producing and rubber-exporting country in the world. Ten years ago the production was small, as compared with that of Brazil, which was then the principal source of supply. Its ad vent to first place ns n rubber-produc ing country is due to its favorable cli matic and soil conditions. Stamp Perforation. i The perforation of stamps was first she is a plug, to toe kicked around ! commenced in England in 1853, for re- with no attention or care. When you realize how much a good cow proper ly treated can, save on the grocery hill and how necessary her milk is for the proper development of chil dren in the home, then she will he cared for like the foster mother of man, that she is. The cow should have a, permanent ceipt and draft stamps, and for post age stamps in 1S54. Prior to that pe riod stamps were separated by means of scissors or a knife or similar means and in some cases those who required many resorted to the use of a roulette, a kind of cogwheel furnished with simfll cutters, making a scries of cuts between the stamps. Our line o f Hardware, Implements and * Gas Engines was never so complete as today. Goods are continually arriving which we con tracted for months ago and if you will lay in now for your win ter and spring requir- men's your profit will be greater than ours. The demand for hard ware will be greater than the supply. G, & G. HARDWARE CO.
