THE EVENING GALL. Vol. X. No. 174 the city council Grant Petition Zof Osborn & Wolcott to Kun Side Track to Foundry. The city council met at 4 o’clock thia afternoon, presided over by His Honor, Mayor Davis. The minutes of last meeting were read and approved. Aiderman Patrick stated that the street committee had again gone over the route for side track which Osborn <fc Wolcott wish to run to their place of business They thought the line a feasible one, but were informed by railroad officials that it could not be run over that route. Aiderman Bailey did not under stand the committee as agreeing to allow the track run- Aiderman Patrick, to bring the matter to a close, moved the railroad be allowed to run the sick track to Osborn & Wolcott’s foundry. There was no second to this motion, and Aiderman Bailey moved the peti tion be not granted. This motion Was seconded and brought forth considera ble discussion for and against the peti tion. Aidermen Reid requested to be ex cused from voting on the subject, which request was granted. The question was called for on Ai derman Bailey’s motion and it was lost by a vote of three to four. Aiderman Patrick then moved that the petition of Osborn and Wolcott be granted, The motion was carried. Aiderman Patrick stated the streets were badly in need of work and moved that the council authorize the street committee to have a cart repaired and buy a two horse harness so that some work may be done on the streets. Motion prevailed. Aiderman Bailey thought the street committee could superintend the stieet work and thereby save the city considerable cost and do better work. Several other matters came up be fore the council, which continued in session until a late hour. Meetings Closed- The series of meetings which have been held in the Presbyterian church for several days, were closed this morning, and Rev. Jas. G Patton has returned to his home in Decatur. The meetings were largely attended at every service, and much interest was manifested by the congregations. Mr. Patton is a thoroughly consecrat ed man, and his labors are always blessed with an outpouring of divine blessings. CJ-A-STOm-A-. Bears the The Y° u Have Always Bought Signature < y? •f T.

PROFITS UF A DAIRY t A Practical Discussion of an Impor tant Question ; Concerning the subject of dairying s the following article, from the Atlanta Constitution by Col. Redding, is in -3 foresting reading : It is surprising that so few farmers s in the south can be aroused to the r great pose'biiities in the business of i dairying. It can be easily shown that i good milk can be produced and deliv , ered at a creamery at a cost of 5 or 6 r cents a gallon. The creamery can ) afford to give the farmer 9 or 10 cents a gallon for his milk and let him take the skim milk, or buttermilk, home. > Here is a clear profit of, say, 5 cents a gallon for bis milk—besides the value > of the manure for the well-fed cows I and the value of nearly a gallon of > skim milk, or buttermilk. Suppose a cow give 3 gallons of , milk per day for 10 months of the . year This would amount to a profit s of 15 cents a day on the one cow (besides the skim milk), or $4 50 per month, or $45 for the 10 mouths. Sup pose a farmer has 10 cows instead of ■ one : The results would be just 10 , times at great, or $45 per month and $450 for the 10 months. This is clear . profit. The manure from the cows i will pay for all the labor of feeding sheltering and milking them, and will rapidly improve his land, so that the , farmer can make bigger and better crops of corn, oats, sorghum, millet, , bay and other forage, and will be com pelled to get more cows to consume the increased products of his farm. This increased number of cows will increase the fertility of his land still faster, and so on. He will also have veal to sell and beef to sell. The ques tion of raising cheap pork will be , solved (if it ever needed any solution), for nothing is better for pigs than skim milk and buttermilk. The bill country of the south is bound to become a great dairying region, and the development of the industry is close at hand. We know a comparatively young man in a i county in northeast Georgia. He milks 50 cows and will soon have 100. He sells bis butter the year round at 23 to 25 cents. He is rapidly making his farm rich- He makes some cot.on at the rate of one bale to the acre, corn at 30 to 40 bushels, oats 50 to 70, , wheat 20 to 25—and other things in i proportion. Hie small grain stubble fields come up in clover as naturally as “Poor Joe” and rag weeds do in some fields we have seen. We asked him how low butter would have to sell before he would find no profit in making. He replied : “Well, about 12 or 13 cents a pound.” Which was equivalent to saying that it cost him about that to make butter and put it on the market.
