The cattle men find that in feeding
cattle and following them with hogs
they can make the very best profits
and secure most satisfactory results.
They have followed up the cattle with
hogs time and again, and when their
cattle would lose money by themselves,
the hogs brought up the balance and
turned the scales on the profit side.
Parties who have been fcVding for
years after repeated trials have found
there is good money nearly always in
feeding cattle and hogs together
Some breeders even allow their
brood sows to run after the cattle. and
while this is not advisable for various
reasons because of injury to the sow
principally, the range is so good for
them that good results more frequent
ly than otherwise are brought about by
this plan. 1t is even better to risk
the injury that comes from the kick
or horn, than to have them in close
pens with no exercise to speak of or
sunshine that they get when they have
the free range.-Ex.

FARMER DPLAN1'ER.
A WORD OF CAUTION.
DO Not Let the High Price of Cot
ton Lead You Into Extrava-
giant Production.

The present high price of cotton will
prove blessing or a curse according
to the use we make of it. If we decide
that we ought to strain every effort to
produce cotton, even to the neglect of
other crops, it will be a curse.
What has produced this sudden rise
in price. The staple is no better and
last any longer or do any better serv-
Ice The rise is the natural consequence
from the scarcity of the cotton. From
variety of causes we have produced
three rather short crops. One of these
causes is that we have quit planting all
cotton and begun to plant variety of
crops
We are giving more of our time and
thought and land TO producing food
crops and cattle. The result is that
we are very much better off. We have
something to live on at home. At the
same time. the seasons and the insects
and diseases have helped to reduce the
amount of cotton on the market.
II the seasons had been about the
same as usual and the boil weevel did
no damage to the cotton, we would now
be selling cotton at eight cents.
We can bring the price down to eight
cents again very easily. All that we
need to do is to plant very large
area and buy great quantity of fer
| tilizers and have a good season and it
will be down.
There are many writers giving ad-
vice now which will be ruinous to the
| farmers of the south if we heed it.
Some are advising using more fertiliz-
ers than ever. This is great mistake.
We are already buying more than we
are using to profit.
Georgia in particular went wild on
| fertilizers last season. We do not need
to buy more fertilizers but to use what
We buy more economically and wisely.
We should use more per acre, but the
acre should be better prepared so as
to get more profit from the USE We
should not buy any more fertilizer
than we can pay cash for. Buying fer
tilizers on time is hurtful business
1t is not good farming. Every note
| given for fertilizer is a mortgage upon
the crop before it is planted. These
notes hurt us In many ways.
Again, the cotton seed from last
years crop will pay for the fertilizers
for this year. The farm should be self.
supporting. Buying fertilizers on time
encourages laziness and thriftlessness.
Many idle away the precious days
for preparation and say, Oh well, We
can get fertilizers on time and make
cotton on that land any how. even i
we do not prepare it as we ought. The,
substitute fertilizers for work. Thu
laziness is encouraged

AS the years go by the quantity and
quality of the growing timber is in
creasing. At the same time the ruth

will not remain so.
