Pumpkins are good hog and cattle

inc which he characterized as pure and

price of butter was then 20 to 80 cents
per pound.

been diminished IS per cent he said, as
4 result Of the tax, and the price of but
ter has gone up from % cents to so cents
per pound

1910 PENSIONS PAID,
STATE YET HAS COIN

There is $245, 428.S3 in the Georgia state
treasury on January 19. with the pensions
paid on the earliest date on record for
the whole year In advance, and with d
big bundle of state bonds redeemed in the
big vaults.
More money Is coming in every day,
Just as it does each yea in the first few
months. to cover taxes for the preceding
year. There is no deficit in sight yet,
and the state still rocks along in pretty
fair shape.
Monday morning the governors war
rant was drawn for s93o,OO0 to cover pen
sions advanced on the 1910 Confederate
veteran rolls from the 1909 tax money.
Those have all been paid.
The state sanitarium sent in a hurry
call by telegraph for $35, 900 and got it.
Bonds came in and were redeemed.
And Wednesday morning, the treasury
was at the lowest ebb 1t has known this
year; for on the first day of January II
began the new year with $42O, 900 cash On
hand. Now it has just $245,OOO. But every
dollar of that is 1910 money.
Nothing is due but the balance of the
school fund. Nothing else could be pre-
sented for payment now.
On January rs the state school commits
sioner will present a warrant covering
as many acquisitions as are filed with him
before that date. On February 10 he will
submit another requisition. The COM
missioner has sent out notices to all the
county school officers, informing them
that hereafter acquisitions will be sub
mitted on the 10th and 18th Of each
month, and suggesting that, they time
their own demands accordingly.

meat. declared DR.. Harvey Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the de-

self meat so that persons who continue
TO eat meat may eat it at a lower price.
I do not propose to cut off my nutritious
nose to spite my financial face.
1.-The human race has been a meat
eating race from the beginning. Any
sudden change in the food of the nation
might not produce any immediate re-

THE TRUTHS ABOUT TONlcS

A STOCK tonic is not medicine, a cure,
a remedy. but an aid to the digestive and
asSimilative processes of nutrition. 1t is
thus a preventive of disease. A rightly
compounded stock tonic simply supplies
the animal artificially with certain ne
cessary elements for the perfect regula-
ton of the processes of nutrition. just as
does the supplying of salt in the same
way.
Note that we say a rightly compounded
tonic For either an excess or a lack of
certain ingredients depreciates the value
of tonic just as an incorrectly balanced
feed lowers it's nutritive value.
There is no secret about the compost
ton of the well-known stock tonics. In
deed most states have laws requiring that
the ingredients of the contents be plainly
printed on every package.
The exact proportion OF certain elements
differ in different brands, but the approx
mate proportions are known to most
stockmen, or can be obtained from the
national department of agriculture, or
from the different state experiment sta
tons.
The question then arises, why cannot a
farmer make his own tonics? He can
just as he can make his own clothing,
If he can spend the time, get the cor
rect proportions and accomplish the most
effective combination. For it must be re-
membered that the right amount of each
material simply put together in some sort
of way does not make a suit of clothes
no more does 1t make an effective stock
tonic. Not only must the proportions be
correct, but the condition of each ingre-
dent must be right and it's consistency
such that ii will properly blend with all
the others. The makers Of stock tonics
have the proportions and the proper con-
sistency of the elements "down fine" and
the thrifty stockman knows that he is
not only buying the right material in a
reputable stock tonic, but he is also buy
ing the skill and experience 1t takes to
compound the tonic correctly.
Write Wilbur Stock Food Company, S01
Huron street, Milwaukee, Wis, concern
ing their free stock tonic offer.

Department of Justice
Would Jail Beef BaronS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The depart
ment of justice is going after the men
higher up in the beef trust. 1t is
learned today that Attorney General
wickersham has instructed Wade FL
lis, his assistant, to give his undivid-
ed attention to the case and within a
short time Mr.. Ellis will go to Chicago
to take up the active work OF preparing
the case for the grand jury. Later the
attorney general himself will get &C
lively into the case. The aim is to
send offending trust magnates to Jail.
President Taft is In run sympathy
with the movement and has been KEEP
closely informed at every stage or the
investigation. Care has been exercised
throughout and will continue to be not
to give any immunity baths or offer
any loopholes of escape for the trust
magnates under suspicion. 1t is only
a partial report OF the results OF the
investigation of the operators OF the
National Packing company that is In
hand yet The facts contained there
in, however, have been found to be suf-
ficient to warrant the interposition of
he federal grand jury. The full report
soon as the attorney general and Mr..
Ellis have analysed IL. Mr. Ellis will
leave for Chicago. Indictments may
be expected within a few weeks there
after.
1t is learned that the investigation
of the department OF agriculture into
the cause of increased cost OF living is
about to be brought UP IN the shape or
a partial report to be issued next Tues
day, which will deal with the situation
with regard to meat production in the
United States.
One of the reasons gwen by the
beef packers is that there IS snort
age in the number of cattle on the
ranges of the west. While agricultural
departments officials declined to antici-
pate their report, there are good rea-
sons for believing that the statlstlcs
about to be issued will show the ex-
istence of ample supplies of cattle to
meet all demands.
