FEEDING GEORGIA
CATTLE FOR MARKET
Milton P. Jarnagin, Prof. Animal Hus.,
Ga. State College Of Agriculture
The most economical method of
feeding cattle is by the use of the
silo. In the absence of the silo and
for the benefit of the farmer with only
a few head of cattle to feed, a sched
ule of feeding cattle for the market
has been worked out at the College.
Those feeds have been selected which
can be produced economically, and
which can be marketed to best ad
vantage by feeding to beef cattle.
Sorghum affords a cheap source of
fat. Oat straw and corn stover should
be used. Cow pea hay is advantage
ously used during the lust two months
of feeding. Cotton seed meal is the
cheapest concentrate.
In feeding cotton seed meal the fol
lowing schedule is recommended: Nov.
1-5, 1 lb.; Nov. 6-10, 2 lbs.; Nov. 11-20,
3 lbs.; Nov. 2130, i lbs.; liec. 1 10, 6
lbs.; Dec. 11-20. 6% lbs.; Dec. 21-30,
6 lbs.; Dec. 31 Jan. 9, GVa lbs.; Jan.
10-19, 7 lbs..; Jan. 20 29, 7% lbs.
For sorghum feeding the schedule is
as follows: Nov. 1-Dec, 1, 20 lb:-.; Dec.
1-30, 15 lbs. f Dec. 31 Jan. 29, 10 lbs.
Oats, straw or cortT'stover should be
fed as follows: Nov. 1-30, 10 lbs.; Dec.
1-30, 7% lbs.; Dec. 31-Jan. 29, f> lbs.
Cotton seed bulls are scheduled to
be fed at the rate of 3 lbs. per day
during the entire period.
Cow-pea hay is introduced in the
feed Dec. 1 and fed at the rate of 3
lbs per day till Dec. 30 and 6 lbs. per
day the remainder of the period.
Corn is scheduled to enter into the
ration December 1 at the rate of 2 lbs.
per day and increased Dec. 31 to 4 lbs.
per day for the remainder of the pe
riod.
All the feeds mentioned, of course,
constitute the ration and are fed to
gether in keeping with the amounts
and dates mentioned. The amount
of each feed Is broken into twp ra
tions, one for the morning feed and
one for the evening.
-COTTON SEED MEAL
I FOR LAYING HENS
Roy F. Irvin, Instructor In Poultry,
Georgia State College Of Agr.
Cotton Heed meal costs about $1.50
per 100 pounds aa againnt $3.25 for
good beef acrapH, which it can replace,
thus affecting a saving of 50 per cent.
The College han been feeding cotton
seed meal in dry mash, which is be
fore the henH at all times, about 3 per
cent of the mash being cotton seed
meal. Besides this, a wet mash coiy
Histing of 18 per cent cotton seed meal
mixed with corn meal, bran and shorts,
dij at noon each day.
*”* Care should he taken hot to feed cot
ton seed meal in amounts over 20 per
of the amount of the mash.

BEST YIELDING OATS IN
GEORGIA AND METHOD
OF PLANTING
Ross R. Childs, Agronomist, Georgia
State College Of Agriculture
The College of Agriculture, In co
operation with the office of Cereal
Investigation of the United States Bu
reau of Agriculture, is conducting a
number of experiments as to time
and manner of seeding, preparation
of seed bed and comparative tests of
varieties of oats.
Oats seeded at the College in plats
in October yielded from 10 to 20 bush
els more per acre than when planted
November 1, indicating that for North
Georgia oats should be seeded in Oc
tober. In South Georgia, however,
oats do well when sown as late as
November 15.
Where oats follow corn that has
been cut and shocked, double-discing
the soil with a disc harrow and put
ting in the seed with a grain drill lias
given slightly belter results than plow
tng th(> land and then seeding. The
cost of discing is only about one-half
that of plowing.
Oats following cotton can bo sown
about October 15 between cotton rows.
The cotton stalks can be broken down
with a stalk cutter about February 1.
Seeding with a drill has been found
to give natch higher yields than wh,an
sown broadcast and slightly better
yields when sown by the open fur
rough method.
The Red Rustproof group of oats,
such as Appier, Texas Rust Proof, Ban
croft and Hundred Bushel, lias given
excellent results. The Fulghum Is an
excelled oat maturing from one to
two weeks earlier than the Red Rust
proof group. Its yield has been about
8 bushels less than Appier during four
years’ test at the College plats. In
south Georgia, however, it does quite
as well as any variety with the ad
vantage of earliness.
PRUNING GRAPES
T. M. McHstton, Prof. Hort, Georgia
Btate College Of Agriculture
Because of the tendency of grape
vines to bleed severely when pruned
late, it is essential that the pruning
be done before Christmas. Grapes
bear their fruit on the wood of the
Beason from last Reason's,canes. This
should be remembered when pruning
vines. A good, strong, healthy grape
vine several years old, can well afford
to carry 4 to 8 runners of two to three
feet In length, though in some meth
ods of pruning they are cut back to
the spurs.
Contrary to tho general belief, scup
pemongs can be pruned with success.
The College has had success growing
scuppernongs on trellis taking partic
ular care to prune before Christmas

HISTORY SKETCH
About 1810 there lived l in Jackson
county a family by the nams> of Ho
gin. One of the sons bore the name
of Cordy. He went to Chicago and
followed the shoe makers trade. There
he wed Mary Land. They spent on
ly a few years together, she dying.
He bought a pony after disposing of
his effects and rode all the way back
to Jackson coum“y, On returning he
wied Elizabeth Dial. A few years
passed by and he became just a bit
dissipated and while on one of his
sprees and traveling along the old
Milkdgeville road frcm Walton to
Jackson he came to a house and ask
ed to spend the night. The husband
wus away and the lady refus'd to
let him s'ay. She told him he could
not cross the Mulberry for it was
high and dangerous from recent rains
Hit declared he would go on and on
lie wen*, a’-d was drowned, both he
.and his horse. >Vfter a lapsr< of srx
days his body was found and in his
pocket a p ! nt bottle of whiskey. The
place where he was drowned is about
250 ya’nls below the O’Shield® bridge.
This was in 1835. The parties who
lived at wlhat we know as the Bert
West place were the ones who refus
ed him lodging for the night.
This Cordy UOgin lias relatives in
Walton county today.

Life Is a Funny Proposition.
Man comes into this world without
his consent and) leaves it against his
will. I Airing his stay on earth his
tLme is spent in one continuous round
of contraries and misunderstandings
by the balance of our species. In
hi infancy he is an angel, in bis
boyhood he is a devil, in his man
hood he is everything from a lizard
up; in his duties lie is an utter
fool; if he raises a family he is a
chump; if he raises a sma'l check lie
is a thief, and then the law raises
the devil with him; if he is a poor
man he is a poor manager and
has very little sen-e; if he is
rich lie is dishonest, but consider
ed smart; if he is in politics he is
a grafter and n crook; if he is out*
of politics you can’t place him, ;s j
he is an undesirable citizen; if he
goes to church he is a hypocrite; if
lie stays away from church he is a
sinner .Vkl damned; if he donates to
foreign m'sdons he docs it for show;
if he doesn’t he is stingy and a tight
wad. When he first comes into the
world everybody wants to kivs him —
before he goes out they all want to
kick him. If he d'i-es young there was
a great fu’ure before him; if he lives
to a old age he is simply in the
way and living to save funeral ex
{>enses. Life is a funny road, but we
all like to travel it just the same.
