with; no amount of food will fatten
stock during extreme cold weather,
the food being absorbed in keeping
up animal heat; third, the many vari-
ties of stock food that can
be grown here that cannot
be produced In the North OF
West. Among them may be mem
toned the sweet potato that yields
from 200 to 600 bushels per acre, the
peanut yielding from 80 to so bushels
per acre, and pound for pound, is
much richer food than corn; Cassava,
yielding from ten to rs tons of most
excellent hog food per acre; the chufa
and our native clover, all in addition
to our corn crop, enables the Southern
farmer to produce meat at much less
cost than the Northern or Western
farmer can possibly produce it on his
single source of food supply, that of
corn.
However, to succeed in stock rails
ing here, and this applies to all Sec
tions alike, intelligent business meth
DDS must be observed. First, it is es-
sential to secure thoroughbred stock:
satisfactory results cannot be obtain
ed with our native, or as he is COM
monty called, "razorback" hog, or our
scrub "pinewoods" breed of cattle; a
"razorback" hog, or scrub steer, will
consume as much, or more food than
pure bred hog or steer, and still
be scrub, netting scrub results
In selecting stock hogs, | would
recommend the "Duroc-Jersey" breed
as being we'll suited to this section;
this is healthy breed, takes on flesh
rapidly and combines more good quail
tiles than other breeds; they dress
white and firm, and produce fine hams.
For stock cattle, the"Polled Angus
are recommended; they are a horn
less, or "but-headed" breed and hay
ing no horns, inflict no damage on the
other stock. They are large, blocky
breed and are great beef producers,
giving only sufficient milk to support
their calves, all food consumed by
them being absorbed in making flesh !;
they are, also, gentle, kind and easily
managed.
The great stock ranches of Texas,
which formerly produced our great
est supply of beef, are rapidly being
cut up into farms and the supply
from this source is diminishing each
year due to this fact, and the day OF
low priced beef is thing of the past
with all of our advantages, the time
is ripe for our farmers to reap a har
vest in this direction, and with proper
energy and intelligent application
there is very little risk in engaging
in the business here; the markets Of
the country are open to car load
shipments of both hogs and cattle; al
remunerative prices, and when the
supply justifies, packing houses will
spring up, and then the center of the
packing industry will be shifted from
the North to the Sunny South" where
it rightly belongs.

MAY HEAL-LUTHERAN scHIsM.

Madison, Wis, Feb. 15.-One of the
bitterest civil wars ever carried on by
any religious denomination may be
ended as the result of a peace meet
ing at which ENJOYS from both war
ring camps will be represented, to be
held In this city tomorrow. Influential
members Of both wings of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church in the Uni
ted States are gathering today and are
greeting each other with expressions
of peace and good will.
It was in this city, at the old Luth-
eran Seminary, that war was declar.
ed between the two wings of the Nor
weigan Lutherans. That final break
was in 1889, and the two elements
have since gone under the names Of
Sunod Lutherans and United Luther
ans. The split led to scores of legal
battles over the possession of prop
erty. At first the "rebels" were gener
ally outvoted, but have since become
the larger party in the twenty-thret
year controversy. Many attempts
have been made at a reconciliation
but none were marked by such evi
dences of good feeling as are notice
able today. A subcommittee appoint
ed to draft a treaty of peace has pre-
pared its recommendations and will
report tomorrow to the whole commit
tee. II the report is adopted by boil
wings. the. long war will be over.

Two Local Merchants Stung

Though no tidings came yesterday
of the whereabouts of F. NJ. Shehan,
wanted in Americus upon warrant
charging the uttering of forged rail-
way discharge checks of the Seaboard,
it was true that one or more of the
ALLEGED phony checks turned up.
Mr.. W. d. Bailey is the holder of
this last check discovered, which, like
the others cashed by Sheehan, was for
the same amount-$55.1S, as were tue
checks cashed at the Warlick store
and by Tillman & Brown.
Foreman Elan Mauk. of the local

ployed, and Mr.. c. A. Fricker, the
jeweler, returned yesterday from
Montgomery, where they spent the

for Sheehan They heard that he
was there Monday, but they failed II
find him.

extent of $40 gold watch, bought by
Sheehan, and for which he had not

PEANUTS HAVE
proven TO BEL
VALUED CROP
APRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION
Mr.. Edison Sold Crop at
SI.5O Per BuShGI

Mr.. B. S. Edison, of Americus, a
practical farmer residing in the
southern suburbs, has demonstra. I'd
clearly that, as a money-making crop
the peanut ranks very high, Mc Ed
son is thoroughly satisfied upon this
point and produces the goods as evi-
dence of his faith
Yesterday he brought to The Times
Recorder office a handful of peanut
vines upon which the large and nutri-
cious nuts hung in great clusters far
beyond the ordinary yield.
Mr. Edison planted considerable
acreage last year in this variety-the
red Spanish-which yielded one hun
dred bushels per acre. These fine
nuts have found ready sale here at
$1.50. per bushel, and should bring an
even better price. He will plant a
large crop this year.
Mr.. Edison planted the crop on April
25th, though an earlier planting
would have been better. The peas were
planted eight inches in the drill and
given three plowings. This was the
only cost entailed beyond the picking
which was not considerable. The YIELD
paid him very handsomely. There Is
always market for peanuts, and thej
LIQUID be made an important monej
crop.

SUGGESTION Of
FIRE STATION
ON SOUTH SIDE
FAVORED BY some RESIDENTS
Claimed 1t Could Be Maintain.
ed at Little Expense

| Americus will have a new fire sta
tion, if the suggestion that has beer
made in this particular is carried ouc
The plan which has been suggested
to Chief Macarthur is to establish the
new station on the vacant lot just
south of the Barlow street bridge, up
on which a building could be erected
without much cost
The purchase of the new auto truck
and chemical engine has given the To-
cal fire departemnt sufficient appara-
tus to crowd the station house, SO
that very easily two of the horses and
a truck could be spared to be used II
the new station in case it is establish
ed.
The lot that has been mentioned with
reference to the establishment of the
new station house is owned by the
Seaboard Air Line Railway, and it has
been suggested that the use of the lot
for the purpose so named could likely
be obtained without cost This would
cut down the expense attached to the
project.
1t is further pointed out that there
would be no need of a very large or
expensive building to house two horses
and truck. This building could be
constructed, it is stated, in permanent
manner for a few thousand dollars,
while a wooden structure could be
erected at much less expense. These
points have been advanced in favor of
the project by showing how the cost
could be reduced.
AS regards the running of the sta
ton, the suggestion has been made
that by taking one man away from the
regular station, the new station could
be operated by the use of one addition
al man. The salary of this additional
man would not be very heavy. as i
would aggregate the same as the aver
age salary of a member of the present
force. Altogether it is believed that
the expense of the new station would
not be SO heavy as to make it prohib-
tive, or, at least. this is the opinion IF
those who favor it, and there are many
residents of that section of the city
who will approve of the new plan.

TO Use THREE
ACRE TRACT
FOR A TEST
UNIVERSITY WORK HERE
Will Be Done at the District
College

The Agricultural School of the
State University will establish a test
or experimental patch in Sumter coun-
ty to determine with scientific exact.
ness what can be done with the soils
or some of the soils hereabauts.
Chairman Frank Sheffield, of the
county commissioners, received let.
ter few days ago asking for his as
sistanoe in securing the three acres OF
tract of land for this purpose.
1t was stated that the agricultural
school at Athens desired him to ar
range for the land and the labor
1t would furnish the fertilizers and
the instructions. The crops from the
land would go to the party providing
the land and the labor.
There was no trouble, of course in
securing offers of land A number OF
pieces would have been available il
the University had wanted them.
In the opinion. of Mr. Sheffield, the
proper place for the tests was at the
Agricultural College. He accordingly
arranged for the desired acres there
and notified the university.
The university will send an expel t
here who will superintend the laying
out of the land, select the crops that
are to be grown, and give all the nee
essary instruction.
These instructions are to be follow
ed minutely, it being the desire to
ascertain exactly what the results will
be from them.
When the work is under way The
Times-Recorder will give the full de-
tails as to the methods that are used,
in order that other farmers may avail
themselves of them if they so desire.
At the end of the season, when the
crops are gathered, a full statement
will be published as to the results.

SIREN ALONE
ON. new fire
MOTOR TRUCK
TO Be PROHIBITED ON CARS
Such is Recommendation Of
Chief Macarthur

Need of the suppression of all si-
ren whistles on automobiles in the
city, except the new auto truck. has
been pointed out by Chief w. P. Nc
Arthur, of the local fire department,
when the matter was called to his at
tention.
In all the larger cities where the
auto trucks with siren whistles are
used, ordinances are in force pro-
hibiting the use of siren horns on any
other vehicles in the city except the
fire apparatus. In this way the worth
of the siren whistle is emphasized
and made more valuable.
If the use of siren whistles on other
cars is allowed here, it is pointed out
one cannot tell when the fire truck
lis coming, which is the object OF
using these whistles on the new fire
apparatus. For this reason the pro-
hibition of the use of the siren whis.
tie on any other auto apparatus other
than that of the fire department is j
necessity.
The only manner in which this ca!
be accomplished is by the passage o
an ordinance preventing the use
these whistles by owners of private
cars. Such an ordinance will be rec
commended to Council and will in al
Likelihood be passed. There is onl.
one private car here equipped with
siren whistle, and it is said that thi
car has been so equipped since tn,
arrival here of the new auto truck.

HELM STOPPING THE LEAKS.
(Somerset Times.

Congressman Harvey Helm, of
the Eighth Kentucky, Is still after
them. On an investigating tour Of
the Schuykill arsenal he found that
and thousands of dollars
worth of shoes that had bee bought
for the army had been thrown away
because the toes or heels were
slightly out of fashion. and that n
large quantity of clothing had like
wise been disposed of becase il was
off color. He also found
that the officers We're living like
kings and eating out OF cut glass
utensils bought with money belong
ing to the people. Such extrava-
gance as he discovered is almost
past belief, and he will take steps
TO remedy the evil. Mr.. Helm j.
doing great service for the coun-
try in showing up the woeful waste
in the maintenance of the army, and
il he had no other claim upon his
save his efforts in that
line which are bearing fruit, they
ought to return him to Congress by
a unanimous vote.
