Cattle Compared With Chickens

About every so often there is sort
81 balancing up Of accounts with every
thing that brings 10 some money on this
farm. The amount OF cattle and hogs
s)ld, the revenue from the poultry, the
figures from the grain marketed, and, in
fact all the various sources of revenue
are compared. The cost OF production
is figured as nearly as it is possible to
figure it, then compared with the
amount received. If you have never
kept IAN account Of this kind. there
, are surprises awaiting you as soon as
you do.
Most farmers say, "whats the use OF
keeping any accounts: the money Two
got, I've got, and what 1 haven't got,
figuring won't bring me-" Yes, but a
little accounting will tell you which has
made you the most money. You may
say you are probably amazingly mis-
taken.
We have just finished comparing the
sales OF cattle With the sales Of chickens
and eggs, since the first OF last January.
The amount OF each sold leaves us with
about the same numbers We startel
with at the beginning OF the year, hence
there is nothing back to make a change
in either case. Counting 10 all the cost

Of raising the cattle and all the cost
connected with poultry side Of the
sheet, the figures, favorng the poultry
look about as big as the majorities Of
some of the P1puist candidates did to
the Republicans in the days of Populism.
In the first place, thersisanyhow five
times rs mrch money invested In the
cattle as in chickens. 1t took the use
Of 80 acres of grass land to furnish
pasture for the cattle this summer, and
it will take the fodder and soma of tho
grain from 90 acres of ground, as well
as several tons of hay, to carry them
over the winter. Allcf this is n bill Of
expense that amounts up big. 1t took
the use of practically no ground on
which to keep the | oultry, and the
grain fed to the chickens amounted to
very little more than was fed to the COWS
in the herd last spring, when the calves
were young. Yet, the receipts from the
chickens and sggs sold will come within
few dollars of equaling all that the in.
crease from the herd OF cattle brought.

would not believe this but figures will

SOME FACTS ABOUT COTTON
Interesting and important Statistical
Information That Is Worthy of
Serious Thought.

The following letter, clipped from
the Journal of Commerce, contains
some good general and statistical
facts. We reproduce it herewith in
the belief that it will prove of interest
to our readers:
In 10000 100000 bales of cot
ton sold for more dollars Than 49,
900, 900 bales in 1904-05. Thus it will
be seen that in 1904 about seven mill
lion acres of land capable of yielding
40, 900, 900 bushels of corn was plant
ed in cotton and cultivated, and 3,
600, 900 bales of cotton picked and
marketed without one cent compensa-
ton, and at a loss of $1,000, 900
bushels of corn to the farmers. But
bears and spinners made millions.
The total number of bales produced in
1897, 1898 and 1904 was, in round
numbers. $4,000. 900, while the total
production in 1896, 1899, and 1903 was
%. 900, 600. The 28,000, 900 sold for
$50, 900, 900 more than the 80, 600, 900.
For the first named period about 2O,-
900, 900 acres of land capable of pro-
ducing O,OO0, 900 bushels of corn
was planted in cotton and cultivated,
and 5000, 900 bales of cotton picked
and marketed at an actual loss of SIX
tv million dollars and the value of
four hundred million bushels of corn.
And the bears are gambling right now
on the assumption that the same thing
will be repeated this year. We sin
cerely hope that every man in the
south will consider himself a special
committee of one to urge reduction
in cotton acreage. Plant less cotton
and increase the home supply crops.
Diversity. Stand by and cooperate
with the Farmers Union and Southern
Cotton Association. This will insure
independence and a bank account:
and give the girls and boys an oppor-
tunity to 60 to school instead of to the
cotton patch.
These figures are certainly worthy
of note and contains considerable food
for thought. Yours very truly,

the council are IDIOTS, but that the en-

| cannot close this too heightened
article without extending my sympa-
thy to the poor working man who
wrote a frenzied TRADE in your last
issue. He has enlisted my sympathy,
and my poor heart bleeds at his hard,
down trodden condition. AS | see
him round the cotton exchange sweat
ing, as it were, great drops OF
blood, and remember how he has la
bored so hard trying to get something
for nothing, | am sorry indeed. The
fact is, feel too much to write more.
NV feelings do quite overcome me.
Now I am forever done. l am tired,
and the people have just cause to be
Disguised | think they have sense
enough to know what they want, and
| am no mans guardian. Respect
fully, J. W. F. LOWREY.
