DOUGLAS COUNTY SENTINEL, DOUGLASVILLE, GEORGIA. 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.

Dake & McLarty, 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. Liquid or tablet form.
