SUMTER STOCK FARM
PAYS GOOD PROFITS
Messrs. Bragg and Morgan
Have Achieved Success
The possibilities of hog-raising in
(Sumter county are aptly illustrated by
the work that is being done on a
stock farm just outside the southern
linrts of the city.
The farm is being conducted by
Messrs. Bragg and Morgan, who run
it m conjunction with a meat market
ii, the city, thereby making a combina
tion that is much more profitable than
either business would be if conducted
alone. The lot where the hogs are
kept, as well as the slaughter pen
is easily seen as one passes on the
Central railway going south, just be
yond the Seaboard crossing.
There are at present approximately
52 brood sows, 130 pigs, 45 shoats,
ready for fattening and 15 hogs that
are ready to be slaughtered at any
time. The fifteen hogs should easily
afford 3,000 pounds of meat when
dressed. Most, if not all, of the shoats
could be made ready for the market
in sixty days.
In the fattening of hogs for the mar
ket, Mr. L. A. Morgan, the member of
'the firm who has direct supervision of
j the stock farm, has found that a swill
I composed of wheaten “shorts", mo
j lasses and water gives the most desir
i able results. Hogs fattened on this
j mixture give meat that is firm, well
flavored and in steady demand.
A cattle pasture, where part of the
cattle are raised and the other part
shipped in, is run in connection with
the hog farm, the cattle thus raised
and fattened being disposed of at the
market in the city conducted by the
firm. The fir malso owns a parcel of
Hand bordering on Muckalee creek
nearby, from which a quantity of ex
cellent timber is now being cut. Pine,
oak, sweet gum and other woods have
been handled at the mill and sold on
a profitable basis.
The stock farm, especially the h;g
pens, are visited by a number of peo
ple every week, who come to look at
the porkers and to inspect the farm
The firm of Bragg and Morgan was
organized about a year ago, so that
the close of the first year of business
gives a good point of vantage from
which to gauge its success. It is safe
to say from the last year's business
that it has paid at least ten per cent,
on the investment. This is true after
all possible expenses incident to the
business have been included.
The success of this firm is ample il
lustration of the fact that stock-rais
ing, especially the raising of hogs, in
Sumter county will yield profitable re
turns on the capital invested.
A girl can smile at you just because
she doesn’t mean it.
IRATE GUEST OF HOTEL
RAISES ROUGH HOUSE
Base Sallisi and Manager in
m
Atlanta, May 3. —Fred Corbin, of the
Atlanta baseball club, got into a
fight yesterday with Manager Frank
t Harrell, of the Aragon Hotel. He
knocked or shoved Harrell down
three flights of stairs, beat him
through the lobby and finally knocked
him through the door of his own hotel
into the street. The disturbance arose
when Harrell, as the proprietor, ob
jected to Corbin visiting the apart
ments of a woman guest at the hotel.
Down the stairs and in the lobby It
was something of a rough and tumble
fight, Harrell sometimes being on top,
; but when the knockout came at the
front door it was the hotel man whose
shoulders hit the pavement. Harrell
had to be carried to his rooms, while
: Corbin was sent to the police station.
■ from which he soon emerged under
bond.
