Take No Chance on
Saving Cotton Seed.
Take no chances on your sup
ply of cotton seed for planting
: the coming spring, is the urgent
advice of the State Department
of Agriculture to the farmers of
Georgia.
Present prices of seed are at
tractive, but at that they are far
below what seed will sell at for
planting purposes in the spring.
The farmer who sells all his seed
now and has to pay twice or
three times as much for what he
needs to plant, will play a losing
' game.
The Georgia farmer should
save an ample supply of his best
seed for planting the coming sea
son. It is the only safe, the on
ly economical way.
Rigid Investigation of
the Halifax Disaster.
Halifax, N. S., Dec. 29.—A
searching inquiry into all the
causes of the disaster of Decem
ber 6 was promised by C. C. Bal
lantyne, Canadian minister of
marine and fisheries, today.
Within a few hours after his ar
rival here Minister Ballantyne
learned that public opinion was
unanimously behind the call for a
most thorough investigation.
The Halifax Herald, voicing
the public demand, said in an ed
itorial today:
"Somebody ought to hang—
perhaps several people—for their
personal responsibility for the
great catastrophe, for the wiping
out of 1,200 or 1,500 lives, for the
maiming of hundreds of others
and for the suffering, horror and
loss sustained by the survivors.”
The inquiry began by the ad
miralty is to be resumed Jan
uary 21.

i Use Os Patented Stock
Feeds Not Necessary
“CORN-CRIB” CROSS IS THE BEST
CONDITIONER GOOD FEED
AND ATTENTION WILL
KEEP LIVE STOCK
HEALTHY.
By OR. W. M. BURSON, Professor Os
Veterinary Medicine, Georgia State
College Os Agriculture
Condition powders and patented
stock feeds are sold In large quantities
by traveling salesmen and merchants.
, They are widely advertised in most
farm papers. Extravagant claims are
often made for the powders, that they
i will cure various diseases, regulate the
system, purify the blood, etc. Scien
tific analysis shows that these special
feeds for the main part consist of
various amounts of oil meal, grain,
meal, etc., with the addition of a few
tonic drugs, the use of which all live
stock owners should understand.
if the animals have good teeth, a
variety of grain and roughage In suffi
cient quantity, access to salt and a
plentiful supply of clean pure water
they will keep In good condition. In
vestigations carried out at many of
the Experiment Stations in the United
States and foreign countries demon
strate the failure of the patented prep
arations to do all the manufacturers
claim for them.
hi no case has their use decreased
the cost of the ration, and In no case
has their use cheapened the cost of
the product, whether it be beef, pork,
mutton, wool, butter or eggs. In many
cases the use of condlmental feeds has
proved detrimental, as they Increased
the expense of feeding and lessened
the gains of animals receiving them
In the ration.
It may appear In some Instances
that the use of stock foods or egg
producers are beneficial, as Improved
condition of animals or poultry is fre
quently to be observed after the prep
arations have been faithfully used for
some length of time. It must be ob
served, however, that the directions
usually require the preparation to be
given “three times a day on grain or
chopped feed.” If Just as much atten
tion Is paid to the regular feeding of
the stock all the time, as when pro
prietary feeds and tonic powders are
being used, there will be little need
for worry on account of “run down con
dition,” “weak digestive powers,"
"bad blood” and other kindred ail
manta.
