HOG RAISING CLUBS WITH CORN CLUBS Two Propositions that Will Work Nicely Together and Pay too. Some time ago one of our citi zens offered a suggestion that is well taken as a means of stimu lating interest in this particular branch of farming, and that was the organization of Boys’ Hog- Growing Clubs throuought the county, along the lines of the Boys’ Corn Clubs. The success that has attended the Boys’ Corn Clubs has made this organization one of permanence. Through this medium great strides have been made both in the methods employed in raising corn, as well as in the increase in yield. Hart county boys are capable of accomplishing anything they undertake, and it is suggested that as an adjunct to the corn clubs, this idea of organizing hog growers clubs be taken hold of, and at an early date be given concrete form. There need not be very much expense attached to this, and it will go a long way toward bring ing our county up to a uniform standard of farming. Our cotton making record is great. Now let’s turn our atten tion to corn, hogs and hay. This will be the right step in the right direction, and will in a measure remedy the bad effect of large cotton crops. To say the least of it, we will begin the practice of that old proposition of raising your supplies at home. There ought to be 10,000 hogs raised in Hart county this year. It is possible. Why not do it? There’s no reason to argue the question. The importance of grasping the idea and putting it into practice is patent. What boy in Hart county will be the winner? What boy in Hart county take the initiative? And next fall when the Coun ty Fair is held, and it will be held this year, we will have cot ton, cotton seed, chickens, mules, horses, hogs, hay, corn, and a multitude of other farm products to place on exhibit. Talk the matter over and let there be definite action taken. The meat problem is a very important one, and there is no real excuse for Hart county not . raising her hogs. The conditions are favorable.—Hartwell Sun. Chicken Fever to Continue. When the “chicken fever” hit this section of the country a year or two ago, and when no Atlanta back yard was too poor to boast its flock of fowls, the prediction was generally made that this “craze,” as it was termed, would soon wear itself out. Yet the keeping of a small pen of chickens has proved so divert ing as a pastime and so profitable withal that the craze is spreading and growing every day. The effect of the vogue of poul try keeping should naturally have been a great drop in the price of eggs and table chickens. Yet, here on the third day of Februa ry, when there are more chickens in Georgia than ever before in the history of the state, eggs are selling at the top price of the year, and twenty cents higher than at the corresponding time last year. Georgia can stand for an in definite expansion of the poultry industry. The state has in the past been buying from other states ten million dollars worth of chickens and eggs each year. And not until the people of the state keep that money at home will Georgia attain its greatest prosperity. —Atlanta Georgian. Notice to Public. My son, Walter Gilder, a minor, having left my home, this is to warn the public against hiring him. This Feb. 5, 1912. . W. H. Gilder, Alamo, Ga. Profitable Imitation in the Business World. I have frequently be«n ira- , pressed, by the imitation and the , watchfulness of neighbors or ; competitors, with intent to profit < by copying, which are displayed by the greatest business or man- . ufacturing establishments; in fact, the greater a house is the more closely watchful it seems to be of the methods of others. Readiness to imitate is one of the unfailing signs of largeness and breadth of view; and yet the right kind of imitation must nev er be confounded with the cheap and puny copying that is done by cheap and puny minds. The very first time that the virtues of imitation came strik ingly to me was in the case of a man who was not a business man at all, but an Ohio farmer— though, right here, I ought to say that the ordinarily accepted meaning of the term “business man” is all wrong, for every man who follows any kind of occupation for money is necessa rily a business man, whose work is appraised and handled on bus iness principles. A lawyer, mak ing and vending his arguments, precisely as much a business man as is the manufacturer or mer chant. The doctor, the artist, the school-teacher —all are busi ness men, who must do their work and handle what they have to sell on business principles. Napoleon himself was a business man, and a very keen one, who delivered to France services of a very high order and saw to it that he received an immense price for them. This farmer, then—this busi ness man of the soil—l came up on one day as he was crouched upon a hillock watching another farmer —his neighbor. It was not that the other man was doing anything that was either unusual or suspicious; so far from that, he was only doing ordinary farm work in a freshly plowed field; and yet he was watched with such an eagerness as would seem to attach only to something ex traordinary! I had to speak to the man who was watching, though I disliked to draw him from his absorbed contemplation; and he turned to ward me with a sort of shame faced start. “But it’s nothing I ought to be ashamed of,” he said, realizing that his start must have been noticed by me. And he went on to say that, coming recently from a town where he he had not made a success, to take over take over this farm, which had come to him by in heritance, he had found that he knew almost nothing of practical farming. “I could not learn it all by reading books or asking ques tions; and I was afraid—being a stranger—of ridicule or of being told the wrong things if I let on how little I knew; but I’ve sim ply got to make a go of this place. And so, on top of what I could pick up in other ways, I just come out here and watch my neighbor, who is one of the best money-makers around here. I just watch his plowing and plant ing, every day to see what he is doing and I follow as closely as I possibly can.” He gpused a few moments and then added thought fully: “You can learn lots by cop ying some other fellow.” This came back to me very forcibly the other day when the manager of a Chicago department store expressed himself in almost the same words: “I try to learn something every day from what my competitors are doing,” he said.—Saturday Evening Post.
