Miracle-Multiplying Men.
Those great miracles of the
feeding of the loaves and fishes to
the multitudes have a never-dying
interest for all who read it.
And we think one reason for it
is that almost daily we see the
miracle repeated in some measure
in human affairs.
You see a man whose whole
being seems charged with the
power of some great idea or ideal.
And, like a battery, he thrills
all about him with the same power
until the enthusiasm becomes
translated unto deeds.
So the man multiplies himself
and becomes a miracle through
the endless works inspired by his
idea and his energy.
Such were the men who peopled
this country, who made the waste
places of our land to blossom as
the rose and settled cities in the
wilderness.
They were men greater than
themselves, because their desires
and their deeds were for others as
well as their own good. They
attracted to their sides and enlisted
in their cause the higher and holi
er longings in other men about
them, the best in them all.
And here is the greatest miralce:
this best that there is in men, be
eoiningactive and working through
these men actually transformed
such men, so that they would hard
ly recognize themselves before a
great idea seized them. These
men miraculously m u 1 i p 1 i e d
their capacities and activities by
taking hold of purposes for the
general good.
Of such type of men are Messrs-
Cooper and McKinney, who assist
ed us in starting off our Board of
Trade last Friday night.
They are very busy men whose
time is very valuable, yet they glad
ly gave their time to assist us and
would insist on doing so even at
their own expense, saying they
would do that for the good of the
cause.
There are in Atlanta number
such men, many of them men of
wealth, who are ever ready for
good work of this kind.
So, to those who have much
energy is given more energy, until
they work wonders. And from
those who have little energy is tak
en even that which they have until
they are a dead weight to progress.
McDonough has many men of
the better class. The Board of
Traide movement is their opport
unity for service and growth.
McDonough must move.
Will you put your shoulder to
the wheel and help its progress
or lie in its pathway and impede
its progress? McDonough must
jnove foward or backward.
The direction it shall move de
pends on you.

P’’"' BALE THE HAY
By G. H. Alford, I H C Service Bureau,
Atlanta, Ga.
Baled hay is much more valuable as
a feed than loose hay, even when the
loose hay is well housed.
Loose hay carries a great quantity
of dust and often gives the farm ani
mals a severe cough while baled hay
does not.
Baled hay takes up about one-fifth as
much room as loose hay and for this
reason the entire crop of baled hay
can usually be stored under cover
while loose hay must be exposed to
the weather in stocks and ricks.
Baling breaks up coarse hay so that
the stock will eat it more readily and
there is no waste in feeding baled
hay.
Baled hay is always ready for the
market. It is convenient and satis
factory to handle in every way. It
can be hauled by team or shipped by
railroad.
Much of the tops and sides of stacks
is spoiled by the weather.
Loose hay becomes dusty and
musty. Baling hay keeps out the dust
and preserves the hay.
Baled hay retains much of the
sweet hay odor that stock relish.
There’s a freshness and appetizing
quality and feed value in baled hay
that is never to be found in loose
hay
We should bale our hay whether we
feed it on our own farms or sell it. Of
course, the market demand is for baled
hay—and for baled hay only and for
this reason baling is the only way to
be sure of having a market for
it
The growing of hay and especially
leguminous hay as cowpea, soy bean,
peanut and lespedeza will rapidly in
crease the fertility of our soils, make
the raising of good live stock profit
able and add very much to fhe income
on the farms.
We can buy a one-horse pull-power
hay press or we can buy a motor hay
press. For the small farmer who
bales hi? own hay. the one-horse pull
power hay press will prove very satis
factory and economical. With it he
can bale his hay at the time most con
venfent and with a small amount of
help. For the farmer who grows large
quantities of hay or for the farmer
who bales hay for his neighbors the
two-horse pull-power or the motor hay
press is necessarv
