"This,' said Mr.. Cantelou, twill
be all the cotton I will plant. All
cotton is ruinous system. The rest
Of my arabic land must be given to
rsising other crops: Hay, peas, grain,
potatoes and such other food stuff as
is marketable and will 20 to feed my
stock"
Mr.. Cantclou is for this country an
extensive raiser Of stock. lie deals
In nothing but the best blood and he
raises from nothing but registered an
imals. His boar and br-et, COWS came
from the blue grass county Of Ken
lucky, the former at 3 mvr his cid
costing fifty dollars, the S rs in pro-
portion. From these he hes already
sold this season twenty-five pigs at
i've dollars per head, a price which,
he remarked, was too small, but ow-
ing to the fact that the people are un-
educated along this line is considered
little steep. He has several litters
coming on that can be easily disposed
Of, and as many more az he can raise.
Besides this he "grows" ell the meat
consumed on the place. His expe-
rience is that there is good money in
hogs, and even if there wasn't he is
helping to flood this country with
good stock.
JERSEYS AND DURnAMs.
Besides hogs Nlf. Cantelou pays
special attention to cattle, raising also
hay. He has the jersey and the
Short Horn Durham breed, the one a
milk and butter COW, the other for
beef. His first object in raising cat
tie is for the manure. Last year he
made 23O tons Of this character of
manure, knowE in these parts as
"oattle guano." This year be expects
to increase tho quantity by 400 tons,
end it is this stuff that has raised
lands to their present high grade,
and that makes the crops grown there
on blossom like the rose. The cattle,
when we'll fattened and sold for beef,
pay by one-third moro than their oo5.

his herd, aud it was in view Of extend
ing operations in this line that he
built the mammoth barn, a building
that an intelligent horseman Of Ken

with any barn in his country. 1t 10 40

s Manyh have thought the erection Of
'thia elegant and artistic building 90
e2tsaRaganoe on it's owners part, but
its building has a history, and carries
with it an object Lesson, Mr.. Cante-
lou, who is man of practical as we'll
as scientific education, with the ae-
sistanoe Of bis wages hands, built it
himself. Every piece Of timber was
gotten from his place and sawed there
with his own mill. Nothing was
bought but the zinc covering and
nails. Had he contracted. to have. it
built it would have easily cost So, 600.
As it was, the money outlay was
triaiug. But even at $4,000 cost he
says it would be good Investment.
In the upper story were 600 bales of
hay for market and:about that number
hes been sold. = = - :. ,1 !. :

There is another practice which he
follows. He 'shreds all his corn. By
this operation the corn is stripped
ftcm the stalk and the fodder and the
stalk cut up together. II makes an
excellent stock feed and the farmer
saves fodder pulling. :2 ;.ya.. s::s= :+= {
