women who are making more clear
profit from an acre devoted to poultry
than good many farmers makes from
forty acres in ordinary crops.

"A much larger per cent. of the corn
in the county was cribbed in October
than usual on account of the dry wealth
er The yield is better than was ex-
pected, but lacks at least one-third of
an average crop.
If corn is not king it comes pretty
near being so. 1t is estimated that
there are 2.5OO, OOo.OO bushels of the
grand old staples in sight in the country
which should allay all fears of shoe
cake famine this year.
There will be considerable shortness
of feed this winter in many localities
Consenstrates are high in price and will
be higher before long. All this should
be an especially strong inducement to
do some close culling. This high priced
feed should be fed only to those COWS
that will yield profit. There is no
business, no sense in feeding good feed
to COWS that will eat their heads off
before New Year. Scales and tester
will help you find them.
Wheat is in dire need Of rain. The
of seed sown month ago is
critical. 1t is predicted that unless rain
falls in short time a considerable per
cent. of grain will perish in the ground.
That sown month ago has terminated,
but is only appearing in spots where de-
pressions afford little moisture. Seed
sown within the last fortnight is. in the
main, like that still in the garner. An
early rain will cause both classes to be-
gin their long journey.
"A stock report from Atlanta, Ga
says: Demand for horses has been
fair all the fall for Southern chuncks
IA and well broke, some demand for
better kind. Chuncks are bringing
from $65 to 500; fair to good drivers
are bringing from 800 to $40; supply
light all along. Mules, Az hands,
$1O5 to $115; 10 hands, $3.50 to $135;
1515. $40 to $l65; extra quality ranges
higher all along the line. The demand
for mules so far has been slow, tho
there has been and are now some de-
mand and are changing hands all along,
and we now look for the demand to i'm
prove as it is now time the market
should OPEN"
