MORE CATTLE
AND MORE HOGS
THE SOUTH IS THE PLACE
Richer Farms and Better
Living When Stock
Raising Comes.
Home and Farm publishes a
letter in this issue from a woman
correspondent who has failed to
make her dairy j> y. She tells a
story of continued labor and
bad results.
There are thousands who have
failed to make cotton pay, or
corn pay, and there is a reason
somewhere for every failure.
The richest part of our country
is devoted to the dairy and to
cattle raising. Take the North
west, where lands are high, the
raising of cattle and tlx.' develop
ment of the dairy have made the
farmers rich.
Nowhere does a farming popula-;
tion live in greater com fort, have;
greater conveniences, or more
pleasure in life.
The South has many ad van tag- j
es over the Northwest in climate
and in the variety of farm prod-j
ucts; but unless the dairyman can
raise enough on his farm to feed
bis stock, or sell enough of one
crop to purchase what he does
not raise of another, then he can
not make money with a dairy.
The dairy is the factory where
in the raw material of the farm j
is manufactured into milk and
butter. The dairy gives ad-j
ditional value to the raw product, ;
to the hay and grain and food
stuffs. Unless by manufacturing!
this raw material into butter, and
selling this butter at a price that
pays for ii all, ihe farmer had
better sell his raw material to
somebody who can handle it bet
ter.
What the South needs, in our
judgment, is to raise more cat
tle, more hogs, more animals for
eating up the corn an ats and I
the cow peas and the 'Haifa and
a good pat t of the cottonseed
meal.
We know that the South buys 1
a great di ul of corn in the North
but the South is raising more |
corn, and she ought to consume
more corn and more foodstuffs
generally.
Rut on a small farm, with lit-!
tie foodstuff "endured, you will i
find it hard to make a profit out
of twelvt Co.'s. You might do
it out of six or three. If you
have not grass or clover or cot
tonseed meal, good grazing part
of the year, cheap food all of the
year, and a warmer climate than
the North, you cannot make a
large dairy pay.
Hut try. Begin with one or
two cows the best you can got.
Feed them carefully and regu
larly and sci' if. with those two
cows, you cannot get better fim'd
for your own family, in the first;
place, and, if your family is not |
large, a surplus either of milk or j
’'utter for the market.
I'lie great, advance in the South
is going to come from diversified
farming, and one of the means
to it is increasing the number of
hogs, cows and cattle. This is
going to preserve the soil, going
to restore wormmt soil.
The thing for every farmer to
do is to learn how: learn how by
reading the letters of Karisli
Furman, reading the articles on
t ie meat supply and the remedy.
Study the question of diversifies- 1
tion. from your own standpoint, i
in connection with your own
markets and with your own re
sources, with your own facili- 1
ties, with your own soil, livery
man cannot make money by rais
ing early vegetables, else the
whole South would Ik* turned in-;
to a vegetable garden. Every
man cannot make money by rais
ing fruit, nor making butter,
nor by raising a third of a luile
of cotton to an acre. Let him
study the reason of his failure
last year and try to cure it this 1
year and next. — Home A: Farm. 1
Sumter Farmer Sets
I
Neighbors Good Example.
Mr. George Israel, one of Sum
ter’s substantial farmers, resid
ing in the Seventeenth district
near the Sumter-Terrell county
line, was in Americus Wednesday
upon business, and reported crop
conditions excellent in his im
mediate locality, which is among
the best agricultural section of
south Georgia. Mr. Israel ope
rates ten plows, and makes cot
ton a surplus crop.
He cultivates only twenty-five
acres to the plow for cotton and
corn, and in addition raises an
abundance of hay, oats, grain
and other supplies, together
with meat and bread sufficient
for the operation of his farm and
a surplus to sell. Greater pros
perity is not to be seen in any
other agricultural section of
southwest Georgia than in this
portion of the Seventeenth dis
trict of Sumter county.—Ameri

Would Rotate Judges
For Impartial Justice.
Atlanta, Gu., June 20. —Rota
tion of superior court judges from
one circuit to another—these as
signments to be made by the su
preme court —will be provided in
a bill which Representative D. C.
Pickett, of Terrell county, will
introduce at this session of the
legislature.
Mr. Pickett believes that such
a system, removing, as it will,
the judges from the circuits in
which hey are elected, will lift
from them the possibility of all
political or personal influences
which might serve to bias their
rulings.
Did Not Matter To Him.
The good Samaritan was tak
ing his constitutional walk in the
country, says Harper’s Maga
zine, when he saw Tim Conners,
the man of all work from a
neighboring farm, approaching
in the distance.
“Don’t you know better than
to drive that poor horse up-hill
so fast?” asked the Samaritan.
"Up-hill, is it?” said Tim, with
a wise smile. ‘‘O begorra, what’s
the difference? The nag’s blind,
and he can’t see it.”
Running Into Debt.
I know of nothing outside of
crime which has caused so much
suffering in this world as debt.
There is nothing which ages
lone more than worry and anxiety
of debt. The constant fear of
lawsuits, the terror of possible
want, of losing one’s business
and home, of not being able to
care for those dependent upon
one—these are the things which
sap the juices of life and dry up
the very sources of enjoyment.
Everywhere we find men in
middle life and later who have
no homes, no property, and prac
tically no savings ahead, not be
cause of laziness or incompetency
but because they have spent the
very last years of their lives in
paying up old debts, in trying to
get out from under business com
plications of many years’ stand- 1
ing. Every dollar earned is 1
mortgaged. Success Magazine.
Congressman Hughes
Back In Washington.
Washington, LX C., June 19.
Representative Hughes has re
turned from Georgia where, as
one of the University Trustees he
has been attending the com
mencement exercises in Athens.
He was enthusiastic about the
commencement exercises, declar
ing them the best he ever at
tended.
He sj>ent a short time in his
home town. Danville, and visited
Dublin while he was in Georgia. 1
He has had no word as to the
fortunes of V. L. Stanley, his
candidate for the Dublin, post
mastership, since he came back
to the capital. He still believes,
however, that he will be nomi-j
11a ted.
THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR- THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1913
Burn Eighty Women
To Death in Russia.
St. Petersburg, June 19. —
Eighty women were burned to
death today by villagers enraged
at the importation of cheap girl
labor to work on a sugar estate
in the district of Piriatin, in the
province of Poltava, Southern
Russia, according to the Kiev
newspaper, Laimin.
The excited villagers first se
• curely fastened all the means of
exit from a wooden barn in which
1 the girls were housed. They
I then set fire to the building while
1 the inmates were asleep and all
1 were burned to death wi nout a
• chance to escape.
I A Good Reason.
Few answers to perplexing
1 questions have been more con
.: elusive than the one made by an
old negro whom Everybody’s
Magazine tells about.
A new railroad through Louisi
ana passes one of the towns about
a mile from the business den ter,
so that it is necessary to run an
omnibus line.
A salesman stopping at this
j town asked the old negro omni
bus-driver about it.
“Say, uncle, why have they
got the depot way down here?”
After a moment’s hesitation,
! the old negro replied, “I dunno,
boss, unless they wanted to git it
on the railroad.”
The Money Wasn’t On.
There was an aged Scotsman
who, by native shrewdness,
[ made a fortune, and he did it
i without the slightest bit of edu
cation, One day he and an ac
quaintance were talking; when
the latter said to old Duncan:
“I tell you you don’t know
enough to go in when it rains.
Why, you can’t spell bird.”
“B-u-r-d,” said Duncan.
“I tell you you don’t know any
thing. Why, if you had to spell
I to make a living you’d have been
dead years ago. I’ll bet you a
hundred you can’t spell bird.”
“I’ll tak’ ye,” quickly replied
Duncan.
After the money was put up
Duncan said: “B-i-r-d.”
“That ain’t the way you spell
ed it the first time.”
“I wisna bettin’ then!”
