Profits in Good Stock.
Among the many good and
practical things given out by the
Hon. Martin V. Calvin of the
Georgia Experiment station, we
clip the following paragraph from
an article on raising improved
stock:
“The question comes up, every
now and then: ‘Given 20 acres of
farming land, what could a man
do with six good sows and a few
good milch cows?’ 1 have a case
in point: A farmer had six Du
roc-Jersey sows and a high bred
boar of the same breed. In 1911,
he sold $2,000 worth of pigs at
the average age of six months,
and he had more stock at the
close of the year than at the be
ginning. His six registered cows
gave him a cash return of $704
in butter sold, to say nothing of
the skini milk which was fed to
the pigs. The poultry on that 20-
acre farm returned in cash over
$400.”

Nominate Roosevelt!
As an independent Democratic
* newspaper, The World would
welcome the nomination of Theo
dore Roosevelt for president by
’ the Republicans.
The issues involved in his po
litical activities might as well be
settled now as at any other time.
If he is not nominated in 1912 he
will be a candidate for the nomi
nation in 191 G. That will mean
four years more of Rooseveltian
assaults upon the administration
in power; four years more of
Rooseveltian agitation, Roose-
I veltian denunciation, Roose
veltian clamor and Rooseveltian
x intrigue. And to what good?
! Why not meet this Roosevelt
1 question now and dispose of it
. once for all? W’hy wait until
, 191t’> and keep the country in a
turmoil of demagogy and hys
teria?
Rooseveltism represents a new
, kind of government in this coun
try—a government that purposes
. to destroy the old system of
checks and balances, that pur
poses to tear down the old safe
guards of the Constitution and
the courts, that purposes to es
tablish a government of men in
place of a government of laws,
that promises the first long step
. toward substituting state social
-1 ism for Republican institutions.
' Until this question is squarely
■ met, the agitation will go as the
, greenback and free silver agita
t tions went on, to the increasing;
detriment of the general welfare j
1 and national prosperity.
No public benefit can come;
from delay. Soon or late Roose-:
■ voltism must be voted up or;
voted down, and it might as well
be done now as ever.
Mr. Roosevelt’s nomination
' this year would bring about the
new political alignment that is:
; necessary to the restoration of
responsible party government
The Democrats who came into
the Democratic party by the way
of Populism would go out again.
The Republicans who are Demo
crats at heart would go over to j
Democracy. There would again
be a clear line of cleavage be- !
tween the principles of the two i
i parties. The issues could be j i
fought out without any doubt as I j
to their meaning.—New York.j
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, FEB. 29, 1912.
No 400 Hero For Her.
Recently a fastidious young
man bought a pair of overalls to
use with his auto, and found in
them the name of the sewing girl
| who made them. He very
( promptly wrote her a letter with
all the effusiveness necessary in
such a case, and in due time re- j
ceived a reply, however, it was j
i void of the romance usual in such
cases.
Here it is: “I am a working
girl, it is true, hut I make a good
living and I do not care to sup
j port a husband, as I would have
to do if I married some silly noo
dle who gets mashed on a girl he
; never saw. Permit me to say
that I do not know how my card
got in that pair of overalls, and
that when I marry, if ever, it
will be some fellow that can af
ford something better than a 40-
cent pair of breeches.”
Feat of A Water Carrier.
Dominick J. Pace, age thir
teen, an Italian boy from Genoa,
employed as a water boy for a
gang of Italian section men at
Lawrenceburg, Ind., won a suit
of clothes, a pair of shoes, a hat
and $lO by performing a remark
able feat. Dominick had been
carrying his five-gallon bucket of
water on his head, balancing it
with the movement of his body. \
Section Foreman Burke made the
offer to fit him out for Christmas
if he would carry the bucket of
water on his head two miles and
return without spilling the water
or removing the burden from his
head. Dominick stepped ofF at
a lively rate and won the offer in
54 minutes by the watch.

States of the Union.
On and after July 4 next forty
eight stars will decorate the blue
field of the United States flag, as
on that date the stars of Arizona
and New Mexico will be added.
The growth from the ‘‘original
| thirteen” stars has been gradual,
j though at times the wisdom of
j admitting a territory to statehood
has been seriously questioned.
'We have in mind Nevada, the
‘‘Centennial State,” which was
admitted for purely political pur
poses, and which for years was a
sort of political pocket-borough
for the silver-king political bosses
who worked their way into the
Senate. Vermont was the first
state to be admitted, and that was
one hundred and twenty-one years
ago. It is a long stretch from
Vermont to Arizona, both in his
i tory and in mileage; but it is a
! big country with an elastic sys
j tern of government, so there is
room for all. —Savannah News.
