Smith is making good, and were

Many Lose Hogs.
In the past ten days, t is said,
nearly n thouand dollars have
been lost as the result of tile dy
ing of shipped hogs.
Of a ear recently brought to
this market nearly every one died
on the hands of the purchasers.
This should he an object les
son, and should serve to give im
petus to the ra sing of hogs.
It pdasibly was the fault of no
one that these animals perished,
but doubtless was due to a condi
tion. *
Hogs packed in railroad cars
and shipped for long distances he
come heated and are susceptible
to colds and pneumonia and whet
they are unloaded in a different
climate ‘often sicken and die.
(Some five or six thousand dol
lars arejfeent from this market to
other states each year for shoats
could be kept at home if
home far*gee ng fanner would
turn his attention to hog raising,

find ready sale.

Hats Off to Moultrie
The following article taken
front the Dublin <Courier 1 hu-ald
is of State-wide' interest :
7 A b’?g farmer's meeting was
called in Moultrie last week by
the local hoard of trade \vh, cli
was attended b.V over two hun
dred actual farmers. The inject
ing was called for the purp< se ot
emit ng interest in truck grow
ing and meat raising, but lirst
the Moultrie business men got
together and I naneed one ot Hie
biggest packing houses in Georgi
to take care of t lie-new farm pro
ducts ami furnish a quick casli
market, for something besides cot
ton. They showed the farmer that
they meant business. 'They con
vinced him that he wouldn t have'
a lot of meat and perishable yeg
etaihlcs on his hands after lie -iad
raised them. Then they called
a general farmers meeting.
“With little or no speech.-mak
ing tin 1 farmers were faced with
a blunt request from the pack
ing house people lor fifteen fnou
and hogs to be raised in Colquitt
County next year. This amount
it was slated was just, about halt
enough to operate tin* plant. Im
mediately after startling the far
mers with this proposition the
secretary prepared an assignment
chart for evrey district in the
county. On this chart, each dis
trict was assigned so many hogs*
melons, cantaloupes, Irish pota
toes?, sweet potatoes, and other
truck to be raised. A specif.c
number of each was given each
and vstrie.t, apportioned according to
acreage and land ownership. In
short, thel year’s work for the
farmer was laid out for him and
hg was guaranteed a cash mar
ket.
“At this meeting the hoard of
trade invited any farmer present
to ask any question relative
to the raising and price of any ar
tide assigned to him —and the
board had present recognized ex
perts for no other purpose than
to answer these quest outs.
“A more complete or practical
demonstration, of how a chamber,
of commerce can benefit a town
and county has probably never he
fore been made in Georgia.”

A GIFT.
WIIAT shall 1 srnd V'>u tea
Christmas-, dear?
What can a penniless i imestei
send
But th>- wish that when skies
are filled with gloom
For you blithe April buds may bloom
And that every throb of the heart of you
May whisper of days when the skies were
blue?
What shall I send you for Christmas,
• sweet?
What can a friendless minstrel send
But the prayer that when days drag drear
and loflg
Your heart will sing snatches of sweetest
song
And that every Hake of the Yuletide's
snow
May speak of the dreams of the long ago?
What shall I send you for Christmas, my
own ?
What can a lonely bardiing send
But the wish that when life grows dark
and chill
The roses of summer may bloom for you
still
And in moods when the fond old dreams
still cSing to you
That the birds may return, my sweet, and
sing to you?
