bali tons of seed, and as n half ton
would be sufficient for seeding another
wear, he would have three tons OF the
finest cattle food in the world, and
enough with his pea vines or other
hays to feed six steers for one hundred
DAYS. If the six steers weigh 4 SOU
pounds, and are worth 4 cents per
pound, or in all $I92 in one hundred
DAYS the steers would weigh $50 pounds
each, or in all 5. 700 pounds, and be
worth 5 cents per pound, or 1885, q
difference OF $99, or $I5 in the value OF
each steer, thus making the cotton
seed bring him t31 per ton, less the
value of the hay used in fatteniDg the
steers. The manure saved from the
Q would be Of great value to the
farmer in maintaining the fertility OF
his soil.
This demonstrates the fact that cot
ton seed thus used by the farmer adds,
at least 8 cents per pound to the price
of his cotton; for if each steer gains in
value $I5 so by the use OF one thousand
pounds of seed, (Which is a low esti-
mate of the amount Of seed from one
bale of cotton of 500 pounds OF lint,
then the seed has added this additional
value to his farm work; and besides all
that, his seven bales Of cotton would
sell for o money than his ten bales,
under his former system.
sit may be said that the same values
are realized By the country at large, in
the sale of cotton seed, oil, cake, meal
and huIls, as If fed to cattle. That may
be 80, but how does that benefit the
farmer who produces these great values
and receives but a tride of their worthG
Feeding cattle is a new enterprise
in the South, but manufacturing was
also new a few years ago, and it is now
q demonstrated success.
For the same reason that it is profit
able to manufacture cotton where it is
raised, those interested in the cattle in
dustry will try to provide ways and
means by which ships may be induced
to come to Southern ports to load with
fat beef, just as they do for cotton.
Slaughter houses will, in time, be
provided through which fattened beeves
from the pens will be slaughtered and
prepared for the markets Of the world,
just as is now done in Chicago and
other points, thereby saving long rail
road hauls, freights, shrinkage and
general losses consequent upon such
long trips. The remains consequent
upon the slaughter of cattle will also
be saved, such as hides, hoofs. horns,
etc, all of which under the existing
system are lost to the cattle interest.

A PROGRESSIVE CATAWBA
FARMER,

Bro. Click, Of the Hickory Mercury -,
has been travelling, and in an account
of his trip gives the following glimpse
Of the methods Of one of his cornty's
enterprising farmers:
We arrived at r. L. Shutord's about
4 o'clock. Here we saw some more
fine fields of wheat, both on bottom
and upland. Having had a great deal
of stock, he has brought up his farm
90 q high state of cultivation. Besides
this, he uses some fertil zsr. You can
guess by this how his wheat should
look and can be assured it looks that
way, too. From his house, you can
see every field he has, almost.
We spent the evening until dark,
looking at his stock of all kinds, his
new barn and improved COW stalls, and
the feeding and milking and especially
the process of separating Gre IN from
the milk. 1t was our first time to see
ensilage and how much is fed to COVE.
ALI this was interesting to us.
hO uaS gWO SA4OS gA0b hN4A II OA 70
acres of corn or peas. And he filled
them both. At night, he gives each
milk COW about one bushel Of this, and
5 or 6 pounds Of cotton seed, bran and
meal. And they relish it. He feeds
hay every morning. His horses, and
mules are fed on corn hay, fodder, etc.
We saw them milk and extract the
ream They only milk 80 COWS and
make from % to 80 pounds of butter
daily. He has a standing contract for
16s pounds Of butter every week, for
which he gets 90 cents. 1t takes about
n hour for four hands to milk and
run the milk through the separator,
which is done while the milk is warm.
The separator cost him 1925 They
can be had cheaper now. It would be
interesting for one neve having seen
such, just to see how systematically
and nicely they manage it.
Then we saw some of the finest hogs
we ever cav. They had killed nine
head and have 10 more to kill, ano
some Of them will weigh az much as
500, and several of them 400. They
are fed on corn and fresh, cream, ex-
tracted milk,

out doubt his cattle spent a most un'
comfortable night, and paid their
owner for his unkindness the next
morning. It makes no difference
whether it be July or Decem Der, COWS
have a right to shelter when the
weather is inclement.
Again: COWS have a right to all the
good food they will eat. A certain
amount of food is necessary to keep a
COW alive. The man who forgets this
does not understand that the COW will
take the advantage Of him in self pro
lection, by appropriating the first food
given her to her own use She must
keep up the strength, life and vitality
given her by nature. II she have n
thing left over and above what is
needed to do this we'll and good the
surplus will go into the milk pail; but
if not, the dairyman must suffer the
consequences of his own shortsighted
policy.
Tnen, too, the COW demands all the
pure water she needs. If she be COM
PEELED to drink from mud holes and
dirty stagnant water, she will quickly
resent it and show her intention to de
fend herself by Withholding her milk
supply. Milk ia largely water any
way, aud if the supply be poor or linn
tied, the result must be disastrous to
the dairyman.
Finally, the dairy COW has a right to
kind treatment at all timasand seasons
No animal is quicker to appreciate
than the COW. If yelled at by those
who have the care of her, or nagged or
worried by dogs, or kicked or other
wise i'll treated, nothing is Purer thaI.
that she will take her pay out Of tee
man who thus abuses her.
The COW issues no declaration Of prin
ciples Sac stands On q platform which
has only one plank, and that is, "Feir
Treatment or No R turn TbIs plat
form she persistently m in aims,
through good report or through lii
OF course, not every lar is blind to
all this. We are surely making al
vsncement towards a more humene
treatment Of the COW, because we are
finding out that it is for u advantage
to do 80. But there are ct thousands
upon thousands who are still demand
ing of their herds brick without straw
They are the men who are sure that
farming doesn't pay" They will not
believe that there are men who are do
ing wonderful things with the COW
the same old COW he has known all hie
life, and of which he has long since
given up expecting anything wonder
full.

Selfishness and Greed.

A writer in the Cosmopolitan tells
how the golden age will be brought
about: He says:
When men become sufficiently in.
tenigent to understand their true re.
lations to one another there will be
no need Of special effort to promote
social intercourse. Until then the
instruments must be the social Or
CARNATIONS already in existence. The
man Of universal brotherhood, should
such a creature ever inhabit the
earth, will be he who cannot be com.
Portable, however we'll housed or well
fed, while any human being shivers
or is hungry. He will see no honor
In greed which collects wealth which
canrot be used by the possessor,
while the lack of it by those from
whom it was taken makes them su-
premely wretched. He will see no
merit in indulgence without aim and
will contend that the greatest honor
Is due those who give their fellow
men full return for all they enjoy.
Men w1u continue to struggle
against greed and exclusiveness until
they pause to study the real reasons
for these things. The age which dis
covers remedy for the present great
extremes In material possessions, and
applies it, will be the golden age.
Give each man what he earns and
nothing more, and all other desirable
things shall be added. Society, the
home, the State will become ideal.
