sorghum and valued at $2.50 per ton,
a total of $325 for roughage of this
sort. Four tons of shredded corn

making a total of SBO outlay, was fed
as dry roughage. Twenty seven tons
of cotton seed meal at $24.00 per ton
were fed, amounting to $648.00 for
concentrates. For six months in the
year the cattle were on pasture which
was figured at $1.50 per head per,

MOST PROFITABLE DAIRY FEEDS

Inquiry—What is the most economi
cal and profitable dairy ration to use
in Georgia ?
Feeding tests conducted at the
Georgia State Colltge of Agriculture
for a period of ninety three days, av
erage weight of cows 800 pounds,
showed that cows fed at the rate of
six pounds of cotton seed meal, thirty
three pounds of corn silage and two
and one half pounds of corn stover,
produced milk at an average cost of
six cents per gallon, leaving a wider
margin of profits than other food
tests. One group of cattle fed five
pounds of cotton seed meal, thirty-one
pounds of corn silage, five pounds of
dried beet pulp, two and a quarter
pounls corn stover, resulted in pro
ducing about a pound more of milk
per day than the first mentioned, but
the cost per gallon was nearly nine
cents per gallon as against a produc
ing cost of six cents in the first in
stance.
Another feeding test that proved
less profitable than the first mention
ed was the use of five pounds of cot
ton seed meal, thirty-three pounds of

expense and outlay figures $3,281.84
leaving net earnings $1817.60, or a

This herd has been largely built

This herd and dairy belong to the
! College of Agriculture. The principal
lessons taught are that a profitable
herd can be built up by crossing na
tive cows with a pure bred sire, that
the most economical dairy feefl Is sil
age for roughness and cotton seed
meal for concentrates and that the
herd has been a very material fac
tor in building up a worn-out farm
by the contribution of manure.

stituting three pounds of wheat bran
for one pound of cotton seed meal
does not bring the same amount of

In 1910, 300 boys of the corn clubs
averaged 45 bushels of corn to the
acre. In In 1911, 1.000 corn clubs boys
averaged 54 bushels of corn to the
acre. In 1912, 2,500 boys averaged 60
bushels to the acre in spite of the un
favorable weather. Among the 2,500
of last year, there were 72_ boys who
prodiiced an aVefage of 125 bushels
to the acre at a cost of 30 cents per
bushel. Valued at $1 per bushel it
is estimated that the 10,000 boys who
joined the corn clubs last year added
more than $400,000 to the wealth of
the state. Much of their corn sold for
more than $1 per bushel for seed pur
poses.
The average profit for one tenth
of an acre for the girls’ canning clubs
of Georgia during 1912 was $24,88 or
at the rate of $248.80 per acre. In
communities where the girls have
been taught canning by the college
experts individuals have purchased
canning outfits and gone into the busi
ness with great profit.

CAPITAL NOI LS
Atlanta, Ga., March 20. —The
friends of Hoke Smith, and even
non-partisan Georgia politicians,
are vigorously denouncing the
charges that Hoke Smith had any
thing to do with Bacon’s defeat, 01
that he is in any way responsible
for the failure of Georgians to get
as large slices of political pie un
der the new administration as they
had expected.
According to their view of the
situation, Hoke Smith's leadership
has caused him more sacrifices than
it lias anybody else. They say that
no other man in national politics in
this generation has paid the price
that he has to be true to liis local
constituents. Having held the high
office of Secretary of the Interior
of the United States, Mr. Smith re
turned to his home State, and in
three of the hardest and longest
State campaigns ever waged, foughl
the battles of the common people
at his own expense He came hack
and took the leadership in Georgia
because he felt it his duty. These
facts are now being brought to the
front as the complete answer to all
criticism that the Senator has failed
in any way in his duty toward
Georgians.
Atlanta, March 20. — The Gov
ernor’s mansion has been the
of many heart-rending and hyster
ical appeals for mercy this mouth.
The atmosphere has been so tragic
hat Governor Brown lias been
compelled to issue positive orders
that all persons seeking executive
clemency toward prisoners must
take the matter up at his office at
the capitol. As the time ap
proaches for the new administra
tion to come in, wives, mothers
and daughters of convicts have
been insisting 011 seeing the Gov
ernor at bis home. They have not
always managed to control their
feelings. They have wept and torn
their hair and fallen 011 their knees
before him until the situation has
become painfully distressing to the
Governor and his family.
011 several occasions Mrs. Brown
has been compelled to witness the
hysterical weeping of these rela
tives, and oftentimes the scenes
created are very disconcerting.
Governor Brown says he has all
possible sympathy with these un
fortunate people, but they are
making a mistake in coming to his
home and that henceforth they
must present themselves at the
capitol.
Atlanta, March 20. —The State
Treasurer is having a good deal of
trouble in getting in the near-beer
tax collections from the various
county authorities. Even where
local collections have been made,
the counties are slow in making
their returns. The money is need
ed immediately to finish paying
the last installment of the State
pensions. I’p until a day or two
ago, for instance, Chatham county
returned to the Comptroller-General
only $42,500 collected from near
beer saloons of Savannah and vi
cinity. This is only about 50 per
cent of what Chatham must pay.
Fulton, Richmond, Bibb and other
big near-beer counties are even
further behind in their returns.
LETTER FROM SARDIS.
There are two kinds of churches,
the “long faced church” and the
“church with a smile.” The most
boring and tiresome service that. I
ever attended was at, one of these
“long faced churches.” The preach
er preached a “long faced” sermon,
the “long faced” brethren broke the
silence with a “long faced” amen,
and then the entire "long faced”
congregation arose and departed
like scared rabbits without saving a
“long faced” word to each other.
Our church is not this kind. We
are of the “smiling kind ;” we believe
in smiles and handshakes. Ho if
yon want tope surrounded by smil
ing faces, if you desire an “old time
handshake,” if you really desire to
enjoy your religion once, we give
you a cordial invitation to be pres
ent with us next Sunday afternoon.

Chairman Committee.
