PROFITS ASSURED IN RAISING MORE CATTLE Brooks County Farmer’s Big Profit From Raising a Jersey Herd. Quitman, Ga., Feb. 17. — In view of the effort to induce farm ers in this section to raise more cattle, the experience of J. H. Blalock, of Hickory Head, with a . Jersey herd is enlightening as to | the value of this work. In 1906, Mr. Blalock started his herd with seven Jersey heifers, bought from a neighbor for S2OO, all of them in poor conditon. Today his herd represents a cash value of $4,300. In 1907, a thoroughbred bull was bought from the Biltmore farms and in that year the ex penses of the herd were made, and two heifers sold for S9O. In : 1908 two more heifers were sole? \ for sllO, and 1,242 pounds of butter were made and sold from the herd. Summarizing his bus iness, Mr. Blalock says his profit has been: In 1908, a net profit of $527.60; in 1909, a net profit of $761.30; in 1910, a net profit of $677.50; in 1911, a net profit of $822. Premiums taken in 1911, $52.00. Os this amount, $609.50 was for stock sold, nor does this sum mary include 6,000 gallons of milk per year for pigs and calves. Since January, 1907, one cow has made over SSOO in butter, brought four heifer calves and two males, and has taken $25 in prizes. Mr. Blalock is also the first man to sell a Jersey heifer bred in Brooks county for SIOO. Today Mr. Bla lock estimates the value of his herd as follows: Four cows, $400; one bull, $200; 16 heifers, $900; net profits of herd, $2,178.86; sales from herd $609.50; prizes won, $52. To Bridge the Altamaha. Baxley, Ga. —Information has just been received here that sub scriptions to $5,000 of the stock in the bridge company, incorpo rated for the purpose of construc ting a steel bridge across the Al tamaha river, between Appling and Toombs counties, has been subscribed for by five citizens of Atlanta, and undewritten by the Hillyer Trust Company, one of the largest banking institutions of the state. The Atlanta men who subscribed for the stock are F. J. Paxon, C. J. Hadden Clark Howell, Geo. S. Lowndes and M. F. Holahan, the last named being manager of the Atlanta branch of the Intenational Harvester Company. This means that the first bridge to span the great Altamaha river, dividing southeast and souhtwest Georgia, will be constructed. Farmer With a Record. Valdosta, Ga., Feb. 17. Lowndes county has one of the most remarkable farmers in Georgia, and one whose example might be emulated with profit, not only by farmers, but by oth ,er people as well. David New some of the Clyatville District is 52 years old and has a good farm, but he declares, and his friends and relatives back the assertion, that he has never bought an ar ticle on credit in his life. He has never asked for credit, and I also pays cash for his guano when he buys it, though he could get all the credit he wants in Val dosta. This farmer has money in one of the local banks, which he has had there for fifteen years, but he has never drawn a check on a bank in his life. He has never drawn a cent out of the bank, ex cept the interest on his deposits, but never a season geos by that he does not add something to his i bank account. A man with mon ey in the bank and who has kept ; it there for nearly a score of years, who has always had enough to do him without having to ask credit, is a rare citizen.
