For th* avcrag-j farme r , under av r.ge conditions, live sock f :rming will he found to he he fie-t and most pr til able. This is the kind of firming which ln.s brought many run down f i*ms up to the h gh 8 acdard of produt; ion. i Ids is the kind of farming which has hr light h * hnst p ofit and at the same time made a bet ter farm each year. There am wlmre it would he best to sell the raw products grown on tlm farm if rightlv man aged. If we li we a good, high pticed market (or our produce so that w e 3in a fiord to lo.k to o'hei means in getting fertilty, then 1 would say practice it, whether -oiling market garden stutf or whatever it may be. But unless we have specially good markets, we had better look more to live stock as our means of getting a living and a profit, and at the same time making a farm worth more each yp?ir. The easiest way of handling a farm is by live stock keepin i. In Selling our grain and hay in town, even if we do get a good ptice, it takes some little time to haul it. How much easier it is to feed on the farm and drive tlm feed to maik<t on foot, and then we have the manure which we can make double wages in hauling out. We get a profit in the time we spend in Hauling out the manure, but in selling hay and grain in 'own we are 10. sing that much from our farms, besides it takes days of time. I nevpr take a loal of fped to sol 1 unless 1 always think of the fertility I am taking oft my land, and vou can rest assured I take biit little. On ttie other* hand, I never haul hay, and feed onto the farm hut what I feel good over one thing, and that is over the gain the land will g- j t in fertility, whether 1 make anyth ng in the feed ng or not. If every man would have thes j thongii s in mind, and it will pay him to do so, we would have more rich farms. Iu hauling stuff like grain and hay to market, there is always an ad led expense. Either you haul it for nothing, or else y u add the w nth of hau'ing and make the other man piy you. Now, if the other man can afford to boy and pay you for hauling and feed, then surely you can afford to feed it right on your own farm, where you save the hauling, and get the manure, and feed it 10 stock which were raised on the farm. The way i always figured to do was to grow just what I would feed and ami to have just enough stock to eat it, allowing plenty; but I sometimes had to buy, hot this did not hurt me as bad as when I sell feed, knowing that I get at least one profit. I never sell grain unless it is an extra high price and I can spare it. It has been said that grain farming makes rich farmers and poor sons. This may seem true in one sense, as it would seem at first that the father has been sell ing off the large crops of grain each year and pocketing the money, and now he leaves the worn-out farm to his boys, who, if they try to farm i,t will have to struggle to make anything. I believe that il the father had followed live stock farming rightly he would have had more than by the grain farming, and still have a well fertilized farm to leave to his boys. I be lieve that with live stock farming we make as much or more in the present, and sure to make more in the future. The cotton farmers of the South have at last resorted to live stock farming as the most, piactical Official Organ of Dade County. STORM SEVERE In Vicinity of Rising Fawn, Damage to Property Esti mated at Ten Thousand Dollars. No Lives Lost. The storm which swept over the country hist week was very severe in the vicinity of Iti,sing Fawn, damaging property to the extent of almost #10,000.00. The residence and barn of Mr. John Bhmsit situated in the southern suburbs of the town were badly wrecked.

The fruit orchard of Mr. Green Evatt was badly damaged by the. wind. SEVERAL HOUSES WRECKED. Several unoccupied houses be longing to the Southern Steel Cos. at the Eising Fawn furnace were badly wrecked, and a number of freight cars of the A. G. S. E. E. Company were blown from the track at that place. The furnace structure was badly damaged Jand convict stockade blown down, making the damage done in that vicinity about ten thousand dollars. No lives were lost. FOUR STATES SUFFER Many Lives Lost Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana suffer great loss of human lives and millions of dol lars in damages to property from the effects of the tornado. The suffering is much greater and more widespread in the strick en districts than was at first antis ipated and a call on the people for aid has been made by the Gov ernors of the different states. The number of lives lost run into the hundreds, to say nothing of those who were injured. Towns were destroyed and communication with the outside world cut off for some time and the victims left to make the best of what little was left them. Many are without food, shelter and clothing. Those who are rtble to do so, should respond to the call for aid of these victims and contribute freely. GOV. SMITH’S APPEAL “Telegraphic reports which have j been made to show at several points in Georgia the recent cyclone has left in its wake a far greater degree of suffering than was at first supposed, and I deem it my duty to call on the people to give speedy relief to those who have been so suddenly stricken and who are now without shelter, food and clothing. 7 7 The department of the gulf is! taking active relief measures and has sent ofticei*s to several points to report on the situation. In South Georgia and North Florida serious floods are threaten ing towns and villages along the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers, which are reported to be well above flood stages. The weather bureau on the 29 sent out flood warnings for these sections. means of keeping up tbe fertility of the soil. They are changing their plan to part live stock for the main reason of fertility. If we have a good cash crop, it is a good plan to have a part of live stock. Let at least a part of live stock farming he your method for safety now and in the future. —National Farmer and Stock Grower.
