SHALL WE SURRENDER?

Never! The farmer will never sur
render. 1t is not just, and nothing
demands it except greed and specu-
lation. Our cotton is worth Is cents,
demand for cotton goods justifes that
price, and the cotton goods based on
15-cent cotton. Brother Farmers, the
cotton exchange and the Cotton Buy
ers' Union have combined with the
banks to burst the Union. Some Of
them have said so plainly, and every
thing goes to prove it, because our

SCIENCE AND FARMING.

SCIENCE AMI EAkMlNG.
One Of the many important facts in
modern farm science most worthy the
attention Of farmers who think, il
the new system Of feeding live stock.
Present ideas which have grown from
and out of old-time methods within
comparatively recent years, put the
whole feeding question on a truly
scientific basis. The proportion AMI
composition Of foods is fully explain
ed by agricultural science and wiso
breeders and feeders pay sufficient
attention to the subject to reap great
benefit from it.
Facts upon which the entire struc-
ture Of the cattle feeding business
rests are so we'll attested that there
is no gainsaying them, and first and
foremost in actual Importance is the
tonic idea.
It teaches one common sense prin-
ciple-no animal under the continued
strain of heavy feeding can make sat
isfactory growth or production un-
less the digestive apparatus is
strengthened to meet such strain.
To attempt to bring a fine bunch Of
thrifty steers up to the proper SELL
ing weight, or to get a large averag"
production of milk from herd Of
COWS, leaving nature to settle alone
the constant over drafts made on ami
NAL digestion by big, daily rations
of rich foods, is simply to upset the
very end in view.
If fatting cattle and cows in milk
were always at liberty to select what
instinct tells them is best or neces-
sary, there would of course be no
need of the tonic. But here is where
the difficulty arises. Cattle can not
choose or select for themselves, but
must eat what the feeder furnishes,
and besides endure stuffing process
for weeks and months. Is it any won
der that their overtaxed and unassist-
ed organism breaks under the strainf
Give your cattle a tonic-something
to strengthen digestion-and growth
will be continuous because then there
can be no interruption caused by in
digestion, loss Of appetite, or compi-
cations Of more serious nature.
Another great advantage in the
tonic idea is its economy. Cattle re-
ceiving it, because Of greater appe-
tite, eat more rough fodder and thus
reduce feed bills.
Besides, it is a well attestsd fact
that there is great saving Of nutri-

FARM NOTES.

An early crop of peas puts soil in
fine condition for late potatoes.
Locality has much to do with the
success of any crop.
Planting seed is the beginning Of
raising crop, not the end.
Thorough tillage loosens the soil,
admits air and destroys weeds and
grass-three very important things.
Grindstones should not stand in the
sun, nor in trough partly filed with
water.
The county may do much on the
road, but there is always work left
for the private individual.
However large the corn crop, pas
ture is indispensable to every farm
that has stock.
Late seasons do not argue that there
will be no harvest. Nature takes
care of herself.
Work done at the best time and
in the best way is worth twice as
much as work done at other times
and in poor way.
Probably the best method Of keep
ing sweet potatoes is in dry sand.
Put into barrels layer of sand and
layer Of potatoes. They will not
sprout until they become damp.
The advantage or disadvantage Of
planting at certain time Of the moon
is largely thing Of the past. Intel
ligent farmers plant when the season
is right, moon or no moon.
A man has only so much real
knowledge as he can command in
times Of emergency. The knowledge
we have which will not come when
needed, is only an aggravation, like
horse which can not be caught when
wanted.
The best results occur when fields
are given the same culture as a gar
den, with the use Of plenty Of ma
nure, keeping down the weeds and
grass and making every foot do it's
utmost in producing whatever IS
planted in it.
Texas Fruits, Nuts, Berries and
Flowers is the attractive name of
new journal being published at San
Antonio. J. W. Canada is editor and
proprietor. Judging from it's con-
tents, it will have its work and will
soon find place among many who
are up-to-date horticulturists.
A new conner need not expect to
so to new country and sit around
and white, nor ride into town and
spend the day at the store, and make
a living like some of the old settlers
do. He will have to hustle like they
did when they we're new corners. The
sitting around comes at the end, not
at the beginning, Of a residence in a
place.-Texas Farmer.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1907-12-05

banks never were in better condition.
The land is prosperous, except the
cotton business (that is, the produc-
ton Of cotton). The government is
standing behind the banks with mil
lions pouring in from Europe, and in
spite Of this our merchants pretend
to be very sorry for the farmer. All
this is, of course, all "bosh,' and a
scheme to deceive and beat us out of
what justly belongs to us. We have
the right to fix the price on our
products, as well as the merchant has
to put price on his goods, and so
to 100 per cent profit doesn't seem
to be too much for him to ask on his
investment.
Two of my neighbor merchants say
that 10 cents is enough for cotton.
Still each Of these men left the pillow
and took up the yardstick. The
plan of this class of men is to keep
the farmer poor and embarrassed.
Farmers, do not submit to such a
system as is being forced on you.
Hold your cotton until this time next
year. You have bread, meat, pota-
toes, peas, milk and butter and hay to
make more. Put your cotton under
shed and don't let your condition
scare you into selling. If the worst
comes to the worst, fight for your
rights, for man never did better
thing than to fight for home and the
little ones. Brothers, this is fight
to the end. Let us get all the nom
union men we possibly can to stand
with us, for the prosperity Of the
Southern farmer, as we'll as all legiti-
mate business, depends upon the price
Of cotton. Brothers, 10 cents per
pound for your cotton will leave YOU
in debt, the other fellow with a big
bank account. It will leave your
children in the cotton field as ever,
and the other fellows children in
college. It will leave you with a
heavy mortgage outstanding and the
other fellow with large bank ac-
count and mortgage to collect. It
will leave you in rags, the other fell
low in fine clothes. You know these
are facts, so stick together, show your
grit and backbone, stand to your
guns, and we will win the fight. If
the other fellow can burst the Union,
he thinks it will never be able to raj
ly again. When the cotton factors
see that they can no longer depend
on Wall street and the cotton gamb-
lers for their supply, they will hunt
us up and pay our price. Again I
say do not surrender. You owe a
duty to your country, to your fellow
men, to your wife, to the little rag
ged children that stood by you these
long summer days and helped you to
work and make the crop so that they
might have a few pennies for Christ
mas. You can not afford to sacrifice
your rights and your liberties, the
labor of your little ones and all you
nvny nxpnot tO have on thn altar. ~

The Marvel OF Distances,

The distance to the nearest fixed star
IS SO tremendous that, like many Of the
facts of astronomy, it is beyond the
grasp Of the human Imagination,
though not beyond the reach OF math-
ematical demonstration. Light. which
travels at q speed Of $4,000 miles In a
single second of time, takes over four
years to reach us from the nearest
star. The thread spun by a spider is SO
excessively fine that a pound Of 1t
would be long enough to reach around
the earth. It would take ten pounds Of
it to reach to the moon and over 5000
pounds to stretch to the sun. But to
get q thread long enough to reach the
nearest star would require half q mill
lion tons. II q railroad could be built
to this star and the fare fxedat a cent

Broke the Smell.

Up to the time of Grover Cleveland's
election it was a popular superstition
with politicians that no candidate
whose name began with the letter G
could be, elected to the presidency. The
Idea arose from the fact that no man
whose surname presented this peculiar
lily, no matter how strong he was with
the people. had ever been successful
at the polls. There were two Clintons,
George and De Witt; William I'll. Craw-
ford, Henry Clay, Lewis Cass and a
number Of others, who, though their
prospects seemed bright indeed, met
with defeat when it came to the test.
Several Of the C's, George Clinton and
Henry Clay, for instance, were strong
candidates several times, but v

bad roads and bad weather reduc-
ed the attendance considerable. A
very strong sentiment for better
schools was expressed by the offic-
ers in all the meetings. Higher
qualifications and higher salaries
is admitted to be the surest
recourse. A large majority of the
officers expressed themselves as be-
ingin favor of paying more to

that a progressive wide awake
