them sold. These, with the sale of mature
sheep each fall at culling time, will sup
ply a fund of pocket money not to be de-
spised even by the large farmer.
In the corn belt hogs should always be
kept They consume the corn and thus
return to the soil much of the phosphorus

is also Of the very best quality and is es-
pecially fine for gardening, trucking ana
the like. 1t must always be cared for IN
telligently. 1t ferments readily and must
be applied to the soil as made or mixed
with some absorbent which will retain
the nitrogen and the soluble ingredients.
Dry earth is probably the best absorbent,
but any thing that will fix the odors ana
the elements that are likely to be washed
out will answer The matter Of hog chol-
era must of course be taken into consid-
Grafton. A farmer must not invest SO
heavily that he cannot carry on business
IL he loses a portion or even all of his
herd.
Probably the most valuable source OF
fertility Is in the raising and feeding OF
cattle. This business appeals TO the MD
die western farmer as never before from
the fact that prices are good, and accord
ing to those best informed on the sub
ject. are likely to remain good for many
years TO come. Then the changed condi-
ton of the feeding industry gives the mod
ern farmer the opportunity of turning his
crops into beef and thus keep the greater
part of the fertility that has been taken
out of the ground by the crop at nome

trouble expended.

Pure Food and Water.


The healthy condition of the animal
kingdom depends very much upon the
food and water which 1t consumes. The
quality has as much bearing upon the
healthiness as the amount consumed. The
germs of disease are very often found in
the food and water. Great care should be
exercised in storing any kind of product
intended for consumption, as hay oats
corn, ensliage, etc. Disease germs are
frequently found in musty hay, corn and
slower.
The conditions which attend the feeding
of corn and cob meal require careful
thought and attention. The stomach IS
taxed heavily to digest the woody prod
net from the cob, and with the very best
grinding is none too easily assimilated.
The method of scalding or soaking is a
practice thought to help in this particu-
lar but infrequently does little but retard
II. the stomach being rather enervated
than strengthened. The regrinding or
chewing the eud is an essential to the
health of animal nature and must not be
ignored. While one animal may be bene-
fitted by warming the drinking water an
other may be as much benefited by drink
ing It cold. The constitutions must decide
as to results.
The practice of cutting grass or any
other crop before II comes to full matur-
ity is very questionable. The acids pre-
dominate and the consumption OF enough
to satisfy the appetite is likely to weigh
down heavily on the general health of ami
mails. The chemical changes which take
place from green to cured food should be
so thoroughly studied as not to leave a
doubt in their results. The draft upon
the system in it's consumption must not
be ignored, as il is a conceded fact that
overeating or drinking is detrimental to
good health. Feed thoroughly cured food
and give pure water.

Butter, Cattle Raising and ses-Keep-

ing
Being somewhat interested in the pro-
duction of butter, I would like to ask in
regard to selling butter: Is there always
a market for this product? Here in the
neighboring towns often las the towns are
smalD there is almost no market at all.
Could II be shipped to, say Macon or
! Americas, with profit to the producer in
ten to twelve pound packages? 1 will
say, in passing, that as a general thing 1t
costs very little to raise butter and beef,
as the woods in summer and spring are a
natural producer in wilcox county.
Please give me the name of the best
southern journal devoted to cattle raising
and the dairy, also some periodicals or
good book on Bookkeeping and poultry
these separate or all included.
Abbeville, Ga. w. II. ].
Answer: Butter should be marketed in
larger quantities than ten pounds, owing
to the express charges being greater per
pound on small than on large packages.
There is constant market for butter
in the cities named. The demand appears
greater than the supply in south Georgia
towns and cities, where there are fewer
improved dairy cows per capita.
A firm recently wrote to me from Way
cross, Ca, asking If could recommend
some dairyman who could supply 50
pounds of butter per week at 20 cents
per pound delivered at the express office.
2 I do not know of any southern journal
devoted to live stock raising containing
reading matter on beef cattle. The Breed
ers' Gazette, of Chicago, ILL.,, is an ex-
cellent publication.

INQUIRY DEPARTMENT.

Subscriber. Locust Grove, Ga.-Please
inform me where I can get Rescue grass
seed. When should it be sown and how
cultivated? What profit should it yield?
Answer-write TO Hastings Seed Store,
Atlanta, Ga. for prices and seed. Sow
the seed on nicely prepared, fertile soil
during August or September. It will re-
quire about 40 pounds of seed broadcast
per acre. and cover with light roller or
brush. II the land is rich good grazing
should be had in December; If the weather
is dry grazing may be delayed until Feb
ruary. In the spring a good crop Of hay
can be cut of and IL another crop is want
ed the grass can be allowed to go to seed
as a second crop; then turned under,
planting a crop Of peas, which, when cut
on in September, will give the grass an OPP
portunity 10 grow out again. The profit
win depend upon fertility Of soil and the
manner Of preparation. This grass is also
known by the name OF Arctic grass. Aus
tralian oats and Australian bronze. 1t
makes both good grazing and hay.

Answer-The egg OF the weevil is always

are often killed by summing the wheat
on hot days. and keeping the wheat in
tightly closed boxes or rooms. Use bysul-
phide OF carbon in same way as 1 suggest

$500 for thin draft horses OF the right
sort. and hardly one Of the men engaged
in the business of conditioning draftera
admits that he can find enough TO sat
isfy him. These facts show plainly that
the supply, finished and crude, Is snort.
In the opinion of all the greatest men OF
the day, the United States is just entering
the most prosperous period of its national
existence. II that is true, and all the
signs point that way, the demand for
heavy draft horses must remain as keen
as ii now IS or increase, and the proba-
bility is that il viii grow larger for some
time to come. That means still higher
prices for drafters and they are now as
high as they ever were. The draft morse
Is distinctly the farmers horse. he Is
reared on the farm. and for one, two or
three seasons does his share Of the farm
work. Taken as a whole the drafter has
made more money for the farmer than
any other horse. Therefore 1t stands the
farmer in hand to keep in as close touch
with the market as possible and so know
that which II viii pay him best TO breed
AS rule it may be said that the geld
ings sell best that resemble most closely
the great draft stations which win the
prizes at the state fairs and other great
shows and expositions. The closer the re-
semblance in stature, form. weight, action
and quality the higher viii be the price
paid. Therefore the farmer may at this
season of the year easily post himself IN
the best possible way. He has only TO at
tend these fairs and shows and he viii
learn exactly what he ought to strive to
breed TO bring him the most money Never
was there a time in the history o. Ameri-
can horse breeding when il would pay
farmers better to attend the state fairs
and other shows and Glossy examine the
draft horses exhibited there.

ERWIN ON STILL HUNT.

MACON, Sept. Especial Assistant At
torney General Marion Erwin is out after
some more of the ill-gotten gains of Cap
tain Oberln NJ. Carter, and he expects
to locate ana put into receivers hands
before he returns to Macon fully 100000 OF
securities supposed to have been pur-
chased with the money stolen from the
government through the Savannah harbor
contract.
Mr. Erwin has already secured receivers
for two and a quarter million dollars
worth of property which he charges was
wrongfully secured with the government
money through Carter, and he is of the
opinion that 100000 more will be about all
that he can hope for, because the other

been purchased by innocent parties with
