It is very natural for one who does
not understand the underlying princi.
piles OF cattle feeding to get the notion
that the giving OF animals all and more
than they want is the proper way to
feed. This point was made by friend

was the plan followed by his hired

that better results were secured by
making the animals eat up their IA
ton rather clean and keeping a fairly
good edge on their appetite.

Georgia certainly is progressing in
wealth." remarked Comptroller Gen
eral William H. Harrison to-day as he

which will show that the taxable value
of property in the state, not including
railroad property and similar corpora
tions. was S22,72S,62O greater in 1912
than it was in 1911.
Railroad property and that of the tel
ephone and telegraph companies and
other corporations have enjoyed a sim
liar increase, jumping from SlS1,129,-
$50 in 1911 to $1SS, ia in 1872.
The comptroller general points to
other items as indicative of the fact
that the state is not standing still in
any way. The value of the states i'm
proved lands during the twelve months
was swelled by about Sl,3000O0; the
value of city and town property leaped
upward more than $l6,00O.000, and the
shares in banks increased in value from
$S4 597. 76S to $39.233,1 although the
surplus suffered a diminution.
The figures on the value of the auto
mobiles in the state are only S3,260, lSl,
in spite Of the fact that nearly 10000
state licenses have been issued for au-
tomobiles and motorcycles
