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.

Address ■ ‘Money,’ care Monitor. 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.
