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 cus Times-Recorder. 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!” NEW ROAD NOTICE. Georgia—Montgomery County. I)r. J. W. Palmer, J. A.
