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 Winder Drug Cos. 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. NO 29,
