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.

The lender that will handle my
business is especially desireable
, for parties that want big loans
, on farm lands, and for those who
want to build homes in towns.
Their interest is 6 per cent.
Terms five years, the borrow pay
ing 1-10 each year thereby re
’ ducing the interest, and princi
s pal so the final settlement will be
, easy. The money for building
’ or improving homes in towns is
also 6 per cent, money, and the
loans are arranged so the bor
rower repays monthly for 60
months. You only have to add
a little to the amount you are
paying as rent to own you a

1 this a good way for a person to
1 get a home.
