Promoting Our Animal Industries
By Andrew tyLiSouIe, Pres. Ga. State College of Agriculture
One of Georgia's greatest assets
constats of .the very* considerable
number of farm animals she pos
sesses. Of course, we need
many more. That attention is being
directed to this matter, however, Is
evidenced by the fact that the number
of our hogs has Increased at the rate
100,000 a year for'eight years. Their
quality has also been greatly Improved.
We aro bringing In a considerable
number of pure bred sires of several
important breeds and thereby lncreas-.
lng the Individual value of our beet
■and dairy cattle.
Draft animals of the Pereheron type
are also tinding more fuvor than hith
erto. How has this result been
brought about? Primarily through the
-activities of the College of Agriculture
lege of Agriculture, through Its A
mdl Husbandry Division, is endoav
lng to provide It In an acceptable for
It cannot do this unless.it has t)
proper equipment. At present Btoi
judging, for instance, which acqualn
students with the nature and chain
ter of the different breeds of animal
Is conducted on a few benches
In the open and the work has to t
abandoned altogether In lnclemc-
weather. For this reason the Trustee
of the College of Agriculture and th
members of the various farmers’ o
gs.hisatlons have decided to ask th'
approaching session of the Legislator
for an animal husbandry bulldln
which will worthily represent the need
of this Industry and provide the proper
facilities for the students’ Instruction 1 '
a*
and Its extension workers who have
aided farmers in selecting breeding
stock.
The manufacture and distribution of
hog cholera sdrum at cost has also
enabled farmers to fight this disease
with remarkable success, as the in
crease of our swine fully demonstrates.
We are now face to face with the
problem of changing our methods of
farming, diversifying, for instance, and
Increasing our holdings of livestock In
-order that we may utilize our lands to
advantage and vary the crops we grow
thereon under that type of practice
which the boll weevil will make It nec
essary for us to employ. Even though
the boll weevil should reduce the re
turns from our cotton fields by $6,000,-
000.00 or $20,000,000.00, there is no
reason why we should not make up
this loss and add an increment of $25,-
000,000.00 besides, thus emphasizing
Our livestock Industries. To do this
we must educate our boys, for live
stock production Is a highly specialized
business, as the notable success of Eng
lish and Scotch breeders haB shown.
We must also provide our state with
a sufficient number of expert, trained
veterinarians to care for the health of
our animals In a satisfactory manner.
We are today losing $5,000,000.00 from
Ulseases and exposure alone. This is
a heavy drain on the resources of the
Georgia farmer which Is largely pre
ventable.
Nothing worth while is accomplished
■without leadership. Therefore, the Col.
The accompanying picture gives au
idea of its exterior appearance. The
outside finish of tho building will be
light buff brick wtlh a stand stone belt
courso and window sills. Tho llntols
and capitals of tho pilaster columns
will be of the same material. The
roof will be of red tile, the building
thereby conforming In appearance and
finish to these already erected on the
campus. This building will be very
plain, but substantially constructed. It
will have a seating capacity of 1,800.
and if the arena is filled with seats
it will be 3,500. It will thus afford a
proper place of sufficient size for the
farmers of Georgia to hold all sorts of
meetings and to observe the practical
Judging, handling and management of
all classes of livestock. It will pro
vide a place in which to hold livestock
sales, that a better class of breeding
ani&als may be widely disseminated In
Georgia.
The Judging ring will be 36 feet by
110 feet in the clear. The building
will bo 76 feet wide and 150 feet long.
There will be suitable offices, box stalls
for livestock, class rooms and such
other equipment as an up-to-date build
ing of this character should possess.
It will be heated by steam and lighted
by electricity. Special pains have been
taken to provide for good ventilation
through the use of monitor windows.
In honoring this great Industry and
providing, for proper instruction there
in the Btate is simply taking out the
best boll weevil Insurance possible.

KeepingYourself Well
THE FIRST STEP
Usually the first indication of a
lowering of health is found in the
bowels and liver. Something goes
Wrong—we eat too much, or work
too bard—and the bowel action
weakens or the liver is sluggish.
That heavy feeling on arising in
the morning, dryness of the
throat, with bad taste, a slight
headache, dull eyes—all show that
food has fermented in the intes
tines, and that the body is man
ufacturing poisons instead of
good blood.
Clear it all out. Give the
Stomach and bowels a fresh start.
Encourage the liver to go to
work. Manalin does all of this,
without griping or weakening.
It’s the ideal laxative and liver
tonic, because it follows Nature’s
plan, without discomfort, inflam
mation or forming a habit. Con
stipation may be overcome with
its use.
