The Sheep Industry,.

It has been demonstrated that
one of the most profitable adjuncts
of the Georgia farm is sheep hus
bandry. Indeed, in some sections
of the Sate the raising of sheep for
market could be «rged to such a
degree, under certain cobditions,
as to prove a regular business and
with profit attached to it.
Through Middle " and South
Georgiathe lands, climate, gener
al conditions are all such as to favor
this branch of husbandry. A pro
lific growth, of grasses of all kinds,
well watered lands, the freedom of
the woods from wild animals suffi
cient to do damage, all tend to
make sheep husbandry, wool grow
ing and dependent industries a
profitable business.
But there is one great drawback,
and it has held this business in
check a long time. In various
parts of the State there are hun
dreds of worthless dogs, half-fed,
haif-madj half-e very thing, and
these dogs are a menace to sheep
husbandry. The fact that any
night or day their herds are liable
to be attacked by dogs and killed
deters farmers from attempting to
raise them to any appreciable ex
tent. We have a casein point. A
gentlemen who understood the
management of sheep, concluded
to raise them both for market and
for wool. He purchased him £
number of head of fine breed
ers, He had fine pasture lands
and turned them out to graze.
The second night one sheep
came up missing, and its carcass
was found, almost wholly devour
ed by dogs, in an edge of the pas
ture. Depredation continued, and
one day subsequently he went to
the pasture to find seventeen fine
sheep slaughtered by dogs. He
gave up in disgust and has never
since made, an; attempt at sheep
husbandry.
■ This is only one of Hundreds of
such cases, The sheep business
in Georgia could be made a prof
itable industry; but the dogs have
killed it Looking at it in a calm
business way, is it not time that
there was some law -passed which
will give a suitable protection to
the sheep? Is it not time that the
farmers, while they are bent upon
securing legislation looking to
their interests, take steps which
will demand of their representa
tives the passage of such a protec
tive measure?

How many suffer from weakness!
And wbat a dreadful ailment it is.
Always praying for strength and
yet feeling oneself growing weaker
and weaker. There is great virtue
in B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm)
as a strengthening as well as a
healing medicine. Try it as a ton

appetite and digestion. It is an
excellent-remedy to nse while con
valescing. It aids a natural aDd
rapid recovery. In cases where an
invalid has remained long in bed
and bed sores or other ulcers break
out, this remedy will afford quick
relief.
W. M. Cheshire, Atlanta, Ga.,
writes: “I had a long spell of ty
phoid fever, which at last seemed
to settle in my right leg, which
s welled up. enormously. An ulcer
also appeared which discharged a
cupful of matter a day. I

While the boats in which the
party were making their way fur

ually flop into the boat, so filled
was the shallow swamp water with
them. He enjoyed fishing, alliga
tor shooting,. deer hunting, bird
hunting, and enjoyed them in a
manner wholly surpassing any sim-
lar experience of his life.
He was conducted by his excel
lent guides, Alien and John Ches
ser, to where a grand and imposing
Indian mound was to be seen and
examined. -He slept in the swamp
four nights, where only sheer ex
haustion from the day’s work kept
him from losing sleep altogether
on account of the wild chorus of
frogs and wild animals, the pestif
erous mosquitos, red bugs and
ticks.
“We came into the center,” said
he, “of a large open space called a
prairie, though it was anything but
a prairie. As far as the eye could
reach in every direction was an
open space, dotted here and there
by what are termed ‘houses’ which
mean small hammocks from twen
ty feet in diamter to larger propor
tions. These 60-called ‘prairies’
are vast to an extent to which I
had no conception. ■
“The swamp is about forty miles
in length, with a width of about
eighteen miles, and I should say
at least four-fifths, if not a greater
proportion, consist of "‘prairies.’
We took careful notes of timber,
of the character of it, of the muck,
of the vegetation, and a number of
other things, which would be val
uable in determining wbat dispo
sition should be made of the prop
erty.” *
The governor is about to ap
point an engineer to make the sur
vey of the swamp property, under
the provisions of the act providing
for its sale. Col. James M. Krae-
mer will be appointed. He is
chief engineer of the Alantic and
Gulf Coast Canal and Okifinokee
Land Company.
“Is it an assured fact,” asked
the reporter, “that this swamp
property will be drained and re
claimed?”
“Nothing is assured, that has not
already been accomplished. To do
this work will require an expendi
ture of a large sum of money, but
I am free to confess that my am
bition is to be one of a number of
gentlemen who will do this work
for the state of Georgia. To re
claim this vast area of swamp and
to make it subject to taxation, pro
ductive, &c, is a public work which
presents to me many attractive
features, and indicates a line of
action which will be of great bene
fit to my state and people, as well
as to myself and my associates.
“The people of the counties ad
joining this swamp,” he continued,
“are all poor, and to spend among
them possibly several millions of
dollars in carrying out this great
project would add much .to their
comfort and happiness, and would
give employment to every man in
that section ready and willing to
work. I believe the scheme is
thoroughly feasible, and if my as
sociates concur with me in this
view lam most assuredly prepared
to risk what I have in the effort to
accomplish what seems to be a re
sult as patriotic as it may prove
remunerative. Necessarily it . will
be years before the members of the
Suwanee Canal Company can have
any returns from their work, but
patient effort, accompanied by en
ergy and capital, can, 1 am sure
make this now valueless swamp
fertile and productive. Upon the
land thus reclaimed I feel confi
dent that crops of the most pro
ductive character can be pro
duced, and that counties which
now appear to be poor will become
among the richest in the state.”
