Honesickness In Animals.

Animals as well as people suffer
from inconsistencies. This is especially
noticeable in horses and cows A
horse will run away and visit the old
home, though the distance may be
long and broad rivers intervene, and
as he nears the loved place, though
nearly tagged out, he will come rat
Ting and neighing down the road, and
often jump tall fence to get into
his old-time feeding ground. The
writer once had favorite horse
stolen. and five days later, he heard
him coming like with lwind and
neighing at almost every leap, though
his condition showed that he had been
badly used during his absence. His
every act showed his delight on reach
ing his old stamping ground. Cows
moved from home to strange place
often show remarkable falling Of
in yield of milk which continues for
a week to ten days, and sometimes
longer. This fact often causes dis
satisfaction on the part Of the pur-'
chasers. Don't Judge the cow for Z
week.-Farm and Ranch.

Egypt, Assyria and Rome, when each
In turn led the civilization of the
world, agriculture was esteemed the
modest occupation of man." During
modern times the farmer has ranked
high among the useful citizenship of
all civilized nations, until now learn
ing the science, in all their branches,
have been called into requisition to
add interest and pleasure to the op-
erations of the farm. There can be no
greater or more rational pleasure
than that of planting. nurturing, car

lures living organisms of the vege-
table and animal world and in apply
ing the scientific principles of breed
ing to them. What can be more in
spring sight than fields of waving
grain, or trees and vines blooming.

and finally the mature fruit? Then

achievements. There is scope on q
farm for the exercise of every intel

emotion. God never intended that
man should live in dirty. smoky. filthy
cities and carry on perpetual war
over a little gold and silver money,
and piles of brick and mortar, that
contain no nutriment, no pleasant
taste, no appetizing flavor--not one
element that can support life or cause
q single pleasureable sensation. Man
was created a farmer and placed in q
garden and left to hoe his own row.

were built and Satan and his dis

and disorderly conduct, and in the
higher courts lawyers are straininf

effort to clear the guilty or convict
the innocent; sharpers are plotting

FARMER AND PLANTER.


We do not often indulge il figures.

upon. They are sometimes the frame
work upon which we may place mus

In this article. Round figures and APP
proximations will suit our purposes.
We wish simply to set you to draw
some conclusions for your own bene-
fit.
Our cotton crop will for this and
succeeding years figure around ten
million bales. At present it il doubt
full if we will get that. Ten million
bales at eight cents per pound would
be four hundred millions of dollars.
The seed products will be worth an
other hundred million dollars. The
corn crop will be another two hum
dred million. Wheat and oats over
another hundred million. The various
hay crops at least hundred millions
more. Then. we have the sugar cane,
rice, potatoes, truck crops, melons
and peaches, which add up more than
hundred millions more. These all
grow out of the earth and upon the
farms. Now add to these the horses,
mules, cows, sheep, hogs, chickens,
eggs, butter, hides, ETC., and you will
find at least two hundred millions
more. These all grow upon the

Let us sum up and we find:

Here we have an annual production
from southern agriculture OF more
than one billion and two hundred
millions of dollars.
Now We must not forget the large
productions of lumber, coal, iron, gold
and other valuable minerals, naval
stores, etc. These, with our manu-
features, add perhaps as much as the
agricultural products.
If these vast, almost uncomfortable
sums of money were kept here and
annually added to cur means, we
would, in . few years. be rich and
prosperous people. But large part
of it IL now sent out to pay for pro-
visions which we could just as well
raise here. Other large sums are sent
out to pay for Injuries, many of
which we do not need. Other large
sums go into too rapid building up of
cities and towns. which drain the
country of its men and women, and
then of its money.
Still other large sums go to pay for
margins on futures. This betting busi-
ness carries out of the south much
more money than we are generally
aware of. 1t is estimated that south
erners pay out on losses in cotton fu-
lures half as much as the cotton crop
brings. But we began simply to cali
attention to the enormous wealth we
are annually creating and distribut-
ing. And yet many of us remain poor.
