Thursday Morning, Feb. 19, 1914. It is a blessed thin# that po litical guesses in Georgia this week do not cost anything. Things are changing around in Georgia. That common old black-eye pea will soon be known as the “Diet of Dun.” Old habits are hard to shake off. A New York pickpocket was arrested last week still ply ing his trade at the age of 70 years. Few men in congress could have been taken whose loss would have b< en greater to President Wilson thitn that caused by the death of Senator Bacon. The rains and the sunshine are doing wonders for South Georgia just now. And the mule and plow will join in (he forces to make the biggest crop in 1914 that Georgia ever produced. So numerous have been the "eulogies pronounced upon Sena tor Bacon since his death last Saturday that it would be diffi cult to add a word or write a line that had not already been spoken or written. Hans Schmidt wants to die for the murder of Anna Aumuller in New York, and since he has been sentenced to pay the penalty, it would be a sorry technicality that would prevent his having his full desire gratified. It is'quit? l probable that a con tract lasting several years elimi nates Hon. W. G. Brantley as a possible man for Senator Bacon’s place, but otherwise he would be the logical man if a South Geor gian is to fill the place. The ways-of- the Georgia week ly editor ;yp past finding out. When a half dozjn papers pa rade the same squibs in their editorial • colutnhs as original matter, we' are- somewhat at a loss to try Unquote them. Florida will do the handsome thing by the Confederate Veter ans at their- annual reunion in Jacksonville on May (1-7-8. Gov ernor Trammell has out a letter bidding welcome to the old guard “from the. Potomac to the Gulf.” The celebration of the 75th niversary of Georgia Histori- | cal Society, in Savannah last week wag a most interesting event, aud brought together some of Georgia's brainiest men. Governor and Mrs. Slaton were prominent visitors. The hog'cholera scourge usual ly comes'along' with the first warm days of spring." The loss from this disease amounts to thousands iri Gt'orgia. If the hog cholera seruin is a real pre ventive our -fanners shou Id make haste to learn more about its use. On the shelves of every grocery store, large or small, will be found canned "Vegetables that could be. put up at-home at a very small cost. But the -South has practiced sending money abroad for everything so long that the habit seems a part of our very natures. We note that the canning plant recently started at Adel, Ga., is already in the hands of receivers and offered for sale. Invest ments in the South often go the same way for lack of foresight. A canning factory without any thing to can is about like estab lishing a cotton ginnery where there is np cotton planted. Ar rangements pr contracts should be made for crops to can before building factories.

We always felt that the judg ment that decreed an extra rib for a woman would be vindicat ed. - Atlanta Constitution:—The sure-enough optimist is firm in the faith that high prices will come down to shake hands with prosperity. Pembroke Enterprise:—Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson’s plea for the use of the schoolhouse as social centers shows that she has inherited a fair share of Papa’s brains. Atlanta Journal:—When a per son speaks of the federals, we don’t know whether he refers to the great American or the Mexi can game. Americus Times-Reconder:— Those New Yorkjiburglar text books stop with telling how to pick file locks, the government kindly explaining the lockstep in its post-graduate course. Macon Telegraph:—Macon wel comes W. L. Collier, the new superintendent of the Masonic Home. Mr. Collier is one of the best known Masons in Georgia and he comes to the home that is t he pride of Masons throughout the South. Tattnall Journal:—The whole state of Georgia regrets the se rious illness of Senator Bacon in Washington. We have too few such men as Senator Bacon to be able to dispense with his services just now, and hope for his early recovery. Milleft News:—Sweet potatoes shipped to Millen from Bullock county at one dollar per bushel is no credit to Jenkins county farmers. Fitzgerald Press: —Be the coun ty primary when it may, some body would better nerve himself for the reception of one little old lemon. There is a limited num ber of plums, but the lemons are inexhaustible. Hop in the race and get yours. Lyons Progress:—Whether this is to be a lean or fat year in Georgia depends largely upon the crops planted. If the crops are to be all cotton an'd little of anything else, we may expect low prices and a repetition of 1912. Now is the time to avoid another disaster of the kind and the way to do it is to give atten tion to some of the other money crop. Darien Gazette:—The Georgia corn boys are going to convince old King Cotton this year that he is not the whole thing when it conies to farming. They have already commenced to get busy and the results of their work is going to be more gratifying than ever. Keep an eye on the corn boy. Adel News:—They tell us that even in Albany the near-beer sa i loons have been closed this week, i injunctions have been secured against them for violating the prohibition law. The man who | gives red liquor a blow every time he has a chance does his | country a real service. Monroe Advertiser: —We need | not fear for the safety of Ameri ca and her institutions, for any country that can contain a Blease, a Roosevelt, a Thaw, a Hobson, and a Penrose with their diver gent views, all at one time, and continue to run along smoothly is in no danger of an early down fall. THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THT T R9 DAY FFB 19 1914 KEEPING UP THE MILK FLOW AND KEEPING DOWN THE COST By Andrew M. Soule, President Georgia State College of Agriculture. What should a cow be fed? It Is im possible for a cow to make rich milk and elaborate It In large quantities un less she is properly fed. An analysis of mflk shows that It consists largely of water, hence the need of succulent foods, either grass or substitutes there for. Milk also contains large quanti ties mt protein. If the cow is not fed abundantly of food containing a high per oent. of this element, there will be a great reduction In milk flow and Anally a drying tip. There are many food stuffs from whtah adequate protein may be obtain ed, but the farmer should, of course, s«@k the cheapest kind that will serve the purpose. Is It wheat bran, oats, ehorte, cotton seed meal or other food ? Ia the South there certainly could be ao better nor more economical source of protein than cotton seed iiEfsi ram vs John R. Pain, Professor of Agronomy, Georgia State College of Agriculture. Do not make the mistake of putting a dressing of nitrate of soda on too late for the plant to make the best use of It.

It should, of course, be fed in connection with grass or silage, but In the absence of these it can be fed with hulls or mixed hay. The writer has known cows to be fed on cotton seed meal, siiage, hulls and good pas ture grass for years and maintain the best condition and produce a large amount of milk rich in butter fat. : There are thousands of farmers In Georgia who maintain cows on their lots or on their farms who are failing to secure the best returns from them, though they are fed expensive rations. They are often not feeding enough pro- i tein, or if they are, it is <-> too ex- | pensive a form to prove pi ..itable. If j only one concentrate is to be fed, it ! is infinitely better to feed cotton seed I meal to a cow at the rate of from 4 ! to 5 pounds per 1,000-pound live weight when she is giving two gallons of miik per day. pliod from the middle of February to the first of March, and for North Geor gia from the middle to the last of March. Applied at the times mentioned to the cereal crops, the plants will make the largest use of the fertilizers at a time when most needed following the j winter, and will bring about larger ! yields than when applied at any other j time. The custom which some follow i of putting the nitrate of soda on just as the plant is maturing is*a mistake ! and a great waste. i An average of about fifty pounds of nitrate of soda applied to cereals at the right time will prove well worth i while on many of the soil types of the • state.
