EATONTON SEES “SALOME”
. Merchant Dodging Flames
Sheds Clothes for Barrels.
Eaton ton, Dec. 16.—Not to be
• outdone by an Eatonton lady who
recently walked around nonchal-
I antly with a burning willow
plume in her hat, T. G. Dennis,
’ a successful young merchant of
■ this city, is wondering how many
Red Cross stamps he is going to
use on his Christmas correspon
dence, in grateful appreciation
. of his narrow escape from a hor
rible death. The Eatonton mer
chant is also studying up on Vol
' apuk, to further investigate
whether gasoline is really vola
tile, and whether a rush order
k ’
for Russian vodka w T ould not be a
good remedy for his injuries,
t Going across the street to a lo
' cal garage, Mr. Dennis, in knock
ing around the garage and auto
mobiles, became pretty well sat
-1 urated with gasoline. Little
thinking of the danger, he went
up to the stove to warm. Piff
paff-poof! No longer than it
» takes to tell it and he was in a
> blaze. Thoroughly alarmed the
lire department was given an
, alarm, but a convenient hand
, grenade saved the day together
with the Eatonton merchant’s
rapid change of clothes that
would have done credit to an ex
perienced stage performer, and
the young merchant suffered no
serious effects.
Passersby, noting the excite
ment, thought that like Pau-Puk-
Keewis, in Hiawatha, the Eaton
ton merchant was dancing the
Beggar’s Dance to please his
• customers. Pickle and sugar
I barrel Is were in demand for a
hurried wardrobe, and those who
noted the rapid fire change of
• clothing of the burning Eatonton
merchant declare that he certain
■ ly speaks Volaouk under excite
ment. Hana grenades are
henceforth classed as staple gro
ceries in Eatonton.

SOLVED THE PROBLEM |
WITH HOGS AND COWS
The High Cost of Living
Can Be Materially
Reduced.
Editor Home and Farm:
Increased cost of living is the ,
subject of much complaint at
present. And I would like to
tell the farmers how they may
solve this problem as I have done.
Perhaps others are managing in
the same way, but I know the
majority of ordinary farmers are
still depending on cotton for their
living, and surely these farmers
may rightly complain of the dif
ficulty of making ends meet.
First, do not try to farm too
much land. I sold my large
farm three years ago and pur
chased a farm of forty-two acres.
On this lean, by diversified farm
ing, make a better living than I
did on my former place.
About half of my farm I have
sodded with Bermuda and en
closed with wire for pasturing
cattle. I do not think a farm
worthy of the name when it is
without good cattle. I keep a
few good dairy cows—not more
than I can attend to easily—and
raise the choicest calves from
j them. I have a fine pure-bred
sire and three registered heifers.
It is my intention to gradually
weed out all grade cattle and
keep only the pure-bred Jerseys.
Then when I have calves to sell
they will bring me a nice little
sum above what the grade calyes
sell for.
I sell my butter in the nearby
town to private customers, and,
as I use cream separator and take
every precaution to make a strict
ly, first-class butter, I very easily
dispose of all I make at 5 cents
per pound above the market price
here.
I feed the skim milk to my hogs
and find it excellent for them.
With the addition of some bran
and shorts it is better than corn
' for fattening hogs, as well as for
brood sows. I always have plenty
of meat for my own use and sell
’ more than enough to pay for the
bran, etc., which I have to buy.
Hence, high-priced meat doesn’t
make a drain on my purse. I
raise a few litter of jigs every
year and sell them with profit.
Most of the food for my cows
’ is raised on my farm. I sow one
\ third of my cultivated upland in
i grass and follow with mixture of
; peas and cane seed. This makes
plenty of roughage for winter
feeding. The remainder of land
I divide between cotton and corn.
I make enough corn to use, and,
although I do not plant much
, cotton, that which I do make
brings me in clear money, since
I sell enough dairy products, pigs,
etc., to buy all we need and pay
' my hired man as well.
The manure from the dairy is
one of its most valuable features
and has been a great aid in build
ing up my farm. In fact, I be
lieve it pays a farmer to keep
cows for the manure alone, even
, were there no other profits to be
. made from them.
Any farmer, large or small,
can by following this system of
farming very materially reduce
the cost of living and have an
added sense of independence.
