But One Road To Improvement.
There is a limit to the extent to
which a man may go in his pro
gress as an individual and alone.
His own endeavors, unrelated
to those of his fellows about him,
cannot take him very far.
Butieth'm join his efforts to
those of his fellows who are pur
suing the same line and then the
limns to his growth are removed
and none can estimate what such
united efforts can accomplish.
The great war now waging in
Europe has conclusively taught
one fact: that “no man liveth to
himself.”
Determine that you will depend
solely upon youi own efforts, that
you will seek counsel of no per
son, that you will join your efforts
to no other person's efforts, that
you will be absolutely independ
ent, and you have practically de
termined upon a slow death by
your own hands.
Those of us who were • not
aware of this fact have learned it
from the war by being awakened
to the fact that all the ptoples of
the earth were closely associated
in many kinds pursuits, whether
we knew it or not.
We shall this lesson
only in-proportion as we'enterjn
to a closer co-operation in all our
pursuits.
This is true of any business.
None have labored more than we
to bring about this co-operation
among the newspapers.
But we now think especially of
the farmers. The progressive
farmers have for some years now
been preaching the doctrine that
cattle raising by our farmers is a
way out of our financial and one
crop difficulties. They have been
doing this for several years now
:and can you not see the good re
sults? In many spots of our State
<*old storage plants are being es
tablished, at once to care for the
meat produced and encourage the
increased production of it.
Our friend, Mr. J. 0. Ruther
ford, is one of the poineer preach
ers of this class. He is making it
possible for every farmer to im
prove the breed of his cattle with
a beginning of what cattle he may
now possess, without the enor
mous expense of restocking his
farm entirely.
His advertisement appears in
this issue of The Weekly.
Inspect the Battle Fields.
Not by going to them, but j by
bringing them to you.
We have secured a limited num
ber of copies of a 32 page War
Atlas ot' Europe, with detail maps
tn colors of each country.

ABERDEEN=ANGUS CROSSES ARE
MAKING GOOD.
About a year ago we put in service an Aberdeen-
Angus hull with our native cows. If there are any
doubting “Thomases” around we would be glad they
would take a good look at some of these crosses [al
though quite young] and note how thick, low-set,
round, compact, fine in bone, soft hair, mellow skin,
rich color, and fine head.
Keep a close watch on these young calves and watch how rapidly they
grow and fatten. The sire of these calves gained rs high as eighty-eight (88)
pounds in thirty days—and I was not trying to fatten him. 1 say wat. n these
crosses when they eet old enough to put on rhe grass and see them sued their
baby coats and put on a fine glossy “dress suit” and round up into the ‘ldeal”
cattle.
I have in service now one of the very best you~*g bulls that can be found.
He is rivht closely related to the best the breed has ever produced—and “blood
will tell ”
It will more than pay any man to breed his cows to this animal and have
coming along a “Black Brigade” that Will turn dollars and pleasure your way
when the price of cotton is low.
