Rush of Settlers Continues.

Immigrants from all parts of the west and southwest continue to pour into the Sulphur Springs valley, between Court land and Wilcox, and also between Courtland and Douglas. The most of the settlers flock into the valley north of Wilcox, though it is matter of won der to the Courtlandites why they do this. It is stated on reliable authority that water is more easily obtained in the valley between Courtland and Doug las than it is north of Wilcox, the high range of the wooded Chiricahua east of Courtland serving to catch and dis tribute the SHOWS and rains at this point and southward to greater de- gree than farther north, where the mountains are not so extensive

which are always in milk, and average
two gallons or 81 to 8 per cent. of milk
per day. These milk COWS are fed six
pounds of cotton seed meal day, with

we sell to DR.. Jacobs in Atlanta $l3
worth of cream day. The SKINNED
milk we give to the calves, which when
sold bring from $50 to $3.50 each. We are
very careful about the collection of this
manure, for it is possible by feeding live
stock cotton seed meal to make more
profit out of the fertilizing value of it
than on the dairy, 1t is easy to use as
high as ton to the acre, and by the
addition of the proper amount of acid

A prominent meat dealer in Marietta
SAID to member of the Journal and
Courier staff:
''The people do not understand why
Western meats bring more than Geor-
gia meats. In the West cattle are bred
and fed especially for the market,
Every animal slaughtered must first
pass very close inspection by inspect
ors paid by the government, which
means that every animal killed is in
the best of health and not infected with
any contagious disease. They are bled
by experts who do nothing but bleed
them. Meat properly bled will always
have bright, red color. Otherwise,
the meat will be dark and unfit for food,
The slaughtering houses are kept in
first-class sanitary condition and the
meat is handled by machinery, and not
by unclean hands.
Cobb county ought to supply all the
meat that is eaten in Marietta, but the
farmers ought to raise the right kind
and we ought to be we'll equipped for
slaughtering A good breed of cattle
is necessary in the first place A West
ern beef will net on the average fifty.
five Per cent. and even go to sixty
while Georgia cattle will net Al on ar
average. Out West they raise what are
called Christmas steers, and each one
is fattened on an even hundred bushels
of corn, This beef is expressly for the

learn how to raise cattle and hogs fol
