Southern Normal Institute will
i liegin the year’s work next Tues
day morning at 8 130 o’clock.
The school is free to all white
children of Douglas between the
ages of six and eighteen years for
all common school branches. The
pupils from Douglas pursuing
branches other than the common
school branches will be charged a
reasonable tuition.
In order succeed at
at school it is necessary that they
attend regularly. Teachers can
not. help pupils that are tardy and
irregular in attendance.
It is to be hoped that every pu
pil will be present at the organiza
tion next Tuesday morning. Do
not make the failure of your chil
dren possible, parents of Douglas,
by keeping them out of school the
first week or month.
As far as possible, we shall use
the books adopted by the Coffee
County Board of Education.
The principal will be at the
._!.; ~oue most of the day next
Monday and will be pleased to
have all the older pupils come and
{alk over their work with him.
Monday evening at 8130 the
principal and teachers of the South
ern Normal Institute will be pleas
ed to meet the school patrons of
Douglas at Normal llall for the
purpose of getting acquainted and
explaining the work which will be
done at the Normal. The greater
good can be accomplished for
the children when teachers and
parents work together for the good
of the children.
Every citizen of Douglas should
resolve to bring one or more stu
dents to Douglas.
Southern Normal Institute will
be a success from the beginning
and with the united effort of citi
zens, teachers and principal, the
day is not far distant when if will
be the school of South Georgia.
To the citizens of the county
who have children to send away
from home to school, we extend
kindly greeting. We shall be glad
to have your patronage and shall
do for your children all that ear
nest teachers can do. We propose
to give your children as good train
ing as is given by any school in
Georgia. To all working pupils we
guarrantee satisfaction. Every stu
dent should be here at the opening
next Tuesday. If it is impossible
to enter at that time, come just as
soon as you can.
.Special assistance will be given
.those who have not had the advan
tage of good schools.
Wg hope that every citizen of
Coffee county will take an inter

Editor Breeze :
We would be glad if you could
manage to send ms the Breeze as
often as three times a week if pos
sible ; there is a regular scramble
among the girls here when the pa-
I per comes, each one anxious to
devour its contents first. I don’t
just know whether it’s because the
paper is so newsy or whether it’s
because the editor is such a hand
some man. Anyway, we want
more “breezes,” as our thermom
etor reached 100 in the shade
here to-day. The weather has been
almost unbearably hot here for
several days past.
Yesterday was regular preaching
day at the Baptist church herq,
The congregation was not very
large on account of the yearly
meeting over at Mount Baron.
Quite a goodly number of the
young people of this section at
tended the meeting there.
Mr. J. E. Howell passed through
Lax yesterday enroute to the rail
road, on his way to different parts
of Florida, looking after the in
terests of his turpentine works
down there.
Mrs. A. T. Howell and Miss
Mamie McNeill made a business
trip to Willacoochee last week.
Miss Mamie was having some
dental work done. She has been
heard to remark since then, that
it was strange to her that Mr. Dr.
Henry Moore, D. D. S. did not
get married; he is such a handsome
young man. Now, that’s queer to
11s, too.
Mr. Nab Dorminey, one of Ir
win County’s most able candidates
for representative, was among us
one day last week.
Mrs. J. A. Daughtery and her
brother, Mr. Hiram Vickers, made
11s all just wonderfully glad by
paying Lax a visit on last Friday
night. Mr. Hiram will be in the
neighborhood of his old home for
probably a month or two now.
We hope to have the pleasure of
viewing his genial countenance
more frequently than we have for
lie last four or five years.
A certain young lady, not living
a thousand miles from here just
looked for her beau, ’till she could
not look no looker, last. Saturday
night and then he didn’t come.
Now, Mr . J. M. Dent, of Douglas,
did come, but she said he wasn’t
the one, and still refused to be con
soled. However, Jim’s trip was
not wasted; somebody was glad to
see him if Miss Mamie wasn’t. O,
yes, there were others!
Little George, the young son of
Mr. Thomas Baulk, who has been
so low with Typhoid fever, was
reported as being a little better
yesterday. Macom.

RATION FOR STEER AND PIG. ’
Cheapest Method of Fattening Them j
For Market.
A. B. o.—Dear Sir: lam in receipt of
your letter asking for a ration for fatten
ing steers for market, also a ration for
pigs. I will answer these questions and
wind up the subject of stock-feeding
with this letter. The same rations we
have already calculated for a dairy cow
will also answer well for fattening
steers, but as the purpose for fattening a
steer is to produce beef as cheaply as
possible for market, we can’t afford to
use the more dainty and varied diet
given to the cow, but will settle on the
cheapest ration we can find to do the
work, and this ration is cotton seed meal
and hulls and water. The ration con
sists of twenty pounds of hulls and sis
pounds of cotton seed meal gradually
increased to twenty-four pounds of bu 11 .5
and eight pounds of C. S. meal per 1 ,OOC
pounds of live weight, or the rations
may be mixed in the above proportions,
and the cattle allowed to eat all they
will. Now, if you will take the trouble
to figure out the digestible protein, and
carbohydrates in these rations with the
aid of the tables you already have, and
in the manner previously indicated, you
will find they are not nearly so scentific
and well-balanced as those given you foi
the dairy cow, but still they answer the
purpose well because of their cheapness
and ready accessibility, and as I indi
cated before tho money cost of the dif
ferent feed stuifs.must govern to a cer
tain extent in preparing a ration ; if yon
have some • surplus corn on the farm
which you don’t have to buy, the ration
would be made more efficient by adding
it thus: 24 'pounds of hulls, six pounds
of cotton seed meal, and four pounds ol
corn meal or corn and cob meal.
In regard to your query for a good
ration for your pigs, I find that the
Massachusetts Experiment Station rec
ommends the following: For pigs weigh
ing 20 to 70 pounds, 2 ounces of corn
meal per quart of skim milk; pigs weigh
ing 70 to 130 pounds, 4 oz. of corn meal
per quart of skim milk; pigs weighing
130 to 200 pounds, 0 oz. of corn meal per
quart of skim milk—butter milk will
answer as well as skim milk. Give
them all they will eat up clean; but on
no aoconnt ever givo your hogs cotton
seed or cotton seed meal. Experiments
at the Mississippi and Texas Stations
both show that they are apt to prove fa
tal to pigs and hogs.
111 your letter you speak of reading
somewhoro about the “nutritive ratio”
of'a ration or food and ask for an ex
planation of the term, and also of the
term “fuel value” as applied to a food.
The nutritive ratio of a food or ration is
the relative proportion existing between
the digestible protein anil the digestible
fat and carboydcates in the substance.
111 order to find the nutritive ratio, use
this rule: Multiply the digestible fat in
the substance by 2 J ;(, and add this pro
duct to the digestible carbohydrates in
the substance. Then divide this sum
by the digestible protein in the sub
stance. Tho result will be the nutritive
ratio. Thus, for example, let us calcu
late the nutritive ratio of cotton seed
meal. Turn back to your table you find
G. S. meal contains 12.58 per cent, di
gestible fat, multiplying this by 2.25 you
have 28.30; add to this 16.52 the per
centage digestible carbohydrates found
in the table for cotton seed meal and you
have 44.82, Divide this by 37.01, the
percentage of digestible protein, and you
get 1.2. Therefore the nutritive ratio
of cotton seed meal is as 1 to 1.2, or as it
is often written, 1:1.2. 111 like manner
calculate the nutritive ratio of corn
meal, you will find it to.be as 1 to 10.34
or 1:10.34. Therefore cotton seed meal
is said to have a “narrow” nutritive ra
tion because there is so little difference or
such a narrow margin between the pro
portion of digestible fat and carbohy
drates added together and the percentage
of digestible protein. On the other
hand corn meal is said to have a “wide”
nutritive ration, because there is a wide
difference between the two in corn meal.
You can in the same way, calculate the
nutritive ratio, in any of fhe different
rations we have figured out. If in a ra
tion you find the nutritive ratio to be a
good deal more than 1:6 you would call
that a “wide ration” if a good deal less
than 1:6 you would call it a narrow ra
tion.
Only a few natural feeds conform
closely to the standards given fer the
various puposes of feeding. The hays,
grasses and other coarse products of the !
farm mostly show a very wide nutritive.
ratio, and they are only adapted for the*
maintenance of an animal which
neither working giving milk, or taking
on fat; other products, such as cottLn
seed meal, gluten meal and linseed mf. a l
show a very narrow nutritive ratio, / nd
are also poorly adapted for feedinaT by
themselves, and need to be mixed jfa the
proper proportions, as yeu alreadyMsnow,
with substances of a udder nutritive ra
tio. Now that you are intenT tec i j n

Yours to Serve,
N. E. ORY, Mgr. T. GOTTLIEB, Pro.
Fahr. It has been found by experiment
that the fuel value of one pound of pro
tein is 1800 calories, that the fuel value
of one pound of carbohydrates is 1800
calories, also, and that the fuel value of
one pound of fat is 4220 calories; so that
the fuel value of a pound of fat is two
and a quarter times as much as the fuel
value of a pound of protein or carbohy
drates, which is, of course, the reason
why you multiplied the digestible ff}t by
before adding it to the carbohydrates
iu calculating the nutritive ratio. The
full value of Wolff’s standard ration for
a dairy cow is 29,590 calories. If you
will bear iu mind these explanations it
will enable you to understand the terms
iu almost any article you may come
across iu your reading about scientific
feeding.
In concluding my letters to you
on feeding there aro two other
points on which I will touch briefly.
First, iu regard to the cooking or steam
ing of food, a number of experiments
have been made both at home and
abroad on this important subject, and
the testimony is that the cooking of feed
for the great majority of food products
is useless, and in some cases worse than
useless. The experiments have been
made on hay, potatoes, con, meal, bar
ley and rye. Iu most of those trials, not
only has there been no gain from cook
ing, but, even a positive, loss; that is to
say, the quantity of food required to
produce oue pound. (i#'” gain iu weight
was larger when/the food was cooked
than when it w;ys fed raw, and iu some
cases the unfavorable effect of cooking
was very marked. The following ex
ceptiouytYf this rule, however, is uote
wqg*{'hy: The Mississippi Station experi-
Oment-ed for three years in feeding steam
ed cotton seed to cows; and their conclu
sion was very favorable* to the practice.
They report that the “milk and butter
from cows fed ou steamed cotton seed
cost less than that from cows fed on raw
seed and ouly a little more than half as
much as that from cows fed on cotton
seed meal,” —also tnat the “butter from
steamed cotton seed is superior in quali
ty to that from either raw seed or cotton
s-eed meal.” The Texas Station also re
ports that it pays to boil cotton seed
for steers. Although thew. testimony is
against cooking feed for animals as a
rule, it is iu favor of soakiug the feed in
water before feeding; it was found that
pigs would eat more of soaked corn
meal and -hurts than of the dry and
consequently gained more iu weight on
it.
The second and last point to which
I want to call your attention is to feed
ing for fat and lean. It has been a
somewhat moo ted question as to whether
the proportion of fat and lean in the
body of an animal could be influenced
oy tut; nutritive ratio of the ration fed
to it. The results of the experiments
made tend to demonstrate the truth of
the theory that a “narrow” ration would
produce more lean meat, and that a
“wide” ration would produce a carcass
carrying more fat thau lean. Professor
Sanborn of Missouri, made a number of
experiments iu the feeding of hogs, and
his results showed that pork produced
by feeding skim milk, shorts, wheat
brau, middlings aud dried blood, aud
such food having a large proportion of
protein and therefore having a “nar
row” nutritive ratio, was much leaner,
had much loss fat than pork fed ou com
meal, which had a “wide” ratiou. Ex
periments iu feeding steers at the Kan
sas Station also demonstrate that the
ration with a large proportion of protein
in it produces a beef with more lean aud
less fat. . Iu this connection it would ap
pear that the ration I gave you above of
hulls and meal would bo well adapted to
the production of lean meat iu the beef.
If you desired to feed more especially
for lean, use a ratiou of 20 pounds of
hulls and eight pounds of cotton seed
meal per 1,000 pounds of live weight per
day, or mix together in that proportion
-and allow the steers to eat all they will.
That would give you a ration having the
narrow nutritive ratio of 1:2.5 whereas
Wolff’s standard calls for a ration with
a ratio of 1:6. This last would produco
a much fatter sort of beef than the first;
and as the tendency among the people,
more especially in the towns aud cities,
is to prefer beef and pork with more
lean and lessfffa f than formerly, it is im
portant for those who would cater to
this trade to consider carefully this
method of feeding. Yours truly,
J xo. M. McCandless,
State Chemist.
As to the Cotton Estimate.
We are now engaged iu gathering in
formation which will enable this de
partment to give, so far as possible, a
reliable estimate of the cotton crop, not
only of Georgia, but of all the cotton
growing states.
We cannot, however, be ready to
make public this estimate uutil after the
meeting of the Association of the Com
mhakiaers of Agriculture of the South
ern'’States ou August 28, at Raleigh,
N. C.
It will be remembered that, in last
September, in the face of Mr. Neill’s
estimate of 12,000,000 bales, we estimated
that the crop would not exceed 9,500,000
bales.—Georgia Agricultural Depart
