WOULD NOT SUFFER SO AGAIN
FOK FIFTY TIMES ITS PRICE.
I awoke last night with severe pains
in my stomach. I never felt so badly
in all my life. When I oame down to
work this morning I felt so weak I
conld harkly work. 1 went to Miller &
McCurdy’s drug store and they recom
mended Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. It worked like
magic and one dose fixed me alright. It
certainly is the finest thing I ever used
for stomach trouble. I shall not be
without it in my home hereafter, for I
should not care to endure the sufferings
of last night again for fifty times its
rrice. —G. H. Wilson, Liveryman, Bur

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the civ
ilized world, Yonr mothers’ and grand
mothers’ never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness.
Doctors were scarce, and they seldom
heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra
tion or Heart failure, etc. They used
August Flower to clean out the system
aud stop fermentation of undigested
food, regulate the action of the liver,
stimulate the nervous aud organic ac
tion of the system, and that is all they
took when feeling dull and bd with
headaches and other aches. You only
need a few doses of Green’s August
Flower, in liguid form, to make you
satisfied there is nothing serious the
matter with you. Sample bottles at

DAIRYING IN GEORGIA
AN INTERESTING AND INSTRUCT
IVE TALK ON THE NEW
INDUSTRY.
ENCOURAGING PROGRESS.
Although Comparatively a New Fea
ture in the State the Results
Are Most Gratifying.
Dairying is comparatively anew indus
try' in Georgia. In the antebellum days
cotton was king and brought wealth into
the coffers of our people. There was so
much profit in cotton and corn that it
wa6 useless to talk to our planters about
diversified farming. But after the war
everything was changed. Our land
owners suffered not only from the loss
of their labor, but from the depreciation
of every other species of property.
Northern speculators fixed the price of
our cotton, which went from bad to
worse, until we were compelled to make
a change of some sort. Some of our far
mers began to ask if Georgia, with its
mild climate, was not better suited to
dairying and the rearing of cattle than
the states of the bleak north and west,
where these industries had proved so
profitable. This thought took root in
the minds of enterprising men and
brought forth fruit. Within the lost
decade encouraging progress has been
made, and quite a number of dairy
farms and creameries have been estab
lished. Many who went into this busi
ness were without experience, and heuoe
suffered some disoouraging failures, but
with that perseverance which conquers
all things they pressed forward until
their efforts were crowned with de
served success. The report of the sixth
annual meeting of the Georgia Dairy
man’s association, held at Grantvilla,
October 12 and 18, 1H99, shows a mem
bership of more than one hundred and
seventy. If suooess has crowned the
efforts of the inexperienced, who reach
ed the wished-for goal under the most
trying conditions, how muoh more can
be accomplished by the skilled dairy
men of the North and West. To them
we extend a hearty invitation to come
with their skill and capital, with the
assurance that they will improve their
own condition and at the same time
help to make Georgia in dairying, what
■he has long been in other things, the
Empire State of the South. Of course
onr Northern friends must be convinced
that success awaits their efforts here.
We propose to give them the proofs.
First of all the climate is a most import
ant factor in our favor. The dairyman
does not need to go to the expense of
housing his cattle for months, but ro- •
quires only such a simple shelter as will
afford protection to them for a few
weeks. His cattle will find excellent
pasturage from eight to ten months of
the year supplied by the best of all
grasses, our Georgia Bermuda, equal to
the Timothy of the Northwest, which
grows luxuiiantlv aud when cured
makes a most excellent hay for our short
wiuter.
There is no better food for our cattle
than the pea vine hay, one of the easiest
crops grown on our land and very rich
in value as a milk producer. We regard
it as the salvation of onr lands and the
delight of the milch cow. Our lands
produce also rescue or an tic grass, and
crab grass, affording pastures new aud
ample, the various clovers, barley, rye,
oats, sugar cane, sorghum and corn for
age. Our cotton seed, after the oil has
been pressed ont, also furnish the oakes,
considered among the best food for cat
tle, as well as the cheapest. ‘‘A penny
saved is a penny earned,” and one cent
a pound saved by cheapening food is as
good as one cent a pound for butter
and cheese. By using ootton seed meal
cakes, cotton seed hulls and a little
wheat bran, a cow can be fed at a cost of
seven cents a day. Corn ensilage is
claimed by some to be the cheapest of
all foods for cattle. Its succulent and
beneficial effects make it doubly valu
able. Tho experience of Mr. T. R. Baw
tell of Atlanta, will give some idea of
the low price at which cattle can be fed.
In a letter to Ex-Governor W. J. Nor
then he said:
‘‘Below you have the results of my
experiment with the thirteen mouths
calf that I fed, exclusively, on cotton
seed meal and cotton seed hulls. I
bought the calf from Mr. M. A. Butler
of Noah, Tenn., December 16th, 1899.
He was thirteen months old aud weigh
ed 899 pounds. I paid 8)4 cents per
pound, makiug the oust 181.15. I took
him to my packing house and fed him
uutil June 16th on cotton seed hulls and
meal. When slaughtered he weighed
1,320 uouuds. He was sold at 5)4 cents
per pound.
Bought 899 pounds at cents
per pound #3l 15
Fed 180 days at 6 cents... W 80—#41 96
Sold 1,820 pounds at 6cts... . 72 60
Net #3O 65
While this is a case of baying and
feeding cattle for the market, it never
theless gives an idea of the cheapness
with which they may be fed.
At our creameries whole milk is worth
#1.25 per hundred weight, and butter fat
brings 20 cents a pound, which is equiv
alent to 14 cents a gallon for milk, a
much better price than can be obtained
North and West. Labor, too, is about
one-half cheaper in Georgia than in the
North and West.
Water is abundeut and pure, supplied
by clear streamlets, rippling down from
our wooded hills, or bold springs, afford
ing refreshing draughts for man and
beast.
Healthfnlness is the most desirable
consideration in the choice of a home.
In this respect Georgia compares favor
ably with any State of the Union.
Gar markets are abundant and ezoel
lent, Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Colum
bus, Savannah, Brunswick, our large
cities, as well as a great number of large
and flourishing towns, all thriving and
steadily growing in population and
wealth, ore heavy importers of butter
and cheese, most of which they obtain
from the States of the North aDd west
and even from Canada. Gladly would
they use the prodnet of our own farms
instead.
Railroad Facilities are of the best.
One needs only to look upon a good map
of Georgia to be assured of this. Like a
vast net work they thread every section
of our State. The railroad managers
are accomodating, and knowing where
their interest lies, are ever ready to help
and encourage the farmers. There is
ample room in Georgia for a great num
ber of dairy farms within one or two
hour’s ride of the best markets for but
ter, cheese and milk.
Water transportation is furnished too
by our navigable streams, and what is
to prevent the product of our dairies
from competing through our seaport*,
Savannah and Brunswick, with the pro
ducts of the North iu the markets of
Cuba and Porto Rioo?
To all dairymen who seek a good field
in which to Invest their capital and la
bor, we extend a hearty Georgia wel
come. Georgia Agricultural Depart
ment.
