CATTLE RAISING TO BE FEATURE Cattle raising is to be one of the principal and most attractive features of the state farm which the prison commission is to pur chase within the next few weeks, and on which the white felony convicts of the state not worked on the roads are to be kept. The commission is detemined that the farm shall be self supporting and will see to it, es pecially, that all the meat con sumed is raised on the premises. With large pastures for grazing cattle on which they can be fed during the spring and summer and by feeding them cotton seed meal mixed with hulls, which is secured from the cotton seed raised on the farm, they can be raised and fattened without cost to the state, thereby saving a great amount of money on the meat bill. During the past few years this feed came to be considered not only the cheapest, but the best in the state and each department of the state has come to realize it and whenever it can be its being used. The Floyd county grand jury which has just closed its session, returned more than 200 true bills. Forty two of these charge violations of the prohibition law, amongthem being the managers of several social clubs. I - ■'■ I wC 4'^M : ||%F 1 i bs The most highly refined and healthful [.! °* be.

As Wednesday, February 10. is the last day on which counties may make such requisitions for convicts, it is probable there will be no change in the number of counties when the list is complet ed. The original apportionment of convicts has been changed by the decision to place all the white convicts on the state farm. This means the withdrawal of 300 con victs from road work. A number of counties have ap plied for more convicts than their legal quota. The total of “overs” applied for is nearly as great as the number of convicts now in the penitentiary. The total num : ber of “overs” applied for is 2,103. There will probably be ' less than 500 to be distributed. - - Crosses of our own making i bring no reward for carrying.
