city, and the farmers bid them in at
good prices and wanted more. This
car of cattle will in five years make
this county one of the best beef-pro-
ducing counties in the south. 1t has
been an incentive to the farmers, and
since this sale two more cars have
been brought in, besides many individ-
uals have secured good cows and top
ped them with a purebred bull. Some |
farmers have even sent out Of the state
and shipped in their feeders. Last
spring the merchants told me their |
sales Of clover and grass seeds we're |
three times greater than they have
ever been, and know from personal
knowledge there we're IL silos built last
summer and that there will be double
that number this summer, and all this
in a county that Ave years ago 1t was
common to hear farmers say, "You
can't raise anything here but cotton
and make any money out Of It."
The leaders of this cattle movement
have proved to the rest that there is
more money to be made out of the cat
tie business than there is to be made
out of the cotton, and, Furthermore, the
mere fact that we raise cattle, the more
cotton we can raise on less acreage.
Today on my way to town I passed
| 60 head of Hereford calves that have
Just arrived from the state of Kansas
on their way to my neighbours farm.
When the tick leaves the good cattle
come in, that is a certainty.
Build Dipping Vat.
The best investment I ever made in
my life was for concrete dipping vat,
and after two years of use would not
be without one, even though the ticks
have gone. We dip any and all kinds
of stock to keep them clean of vermin,
even to the dogs and chickens. A dip
ping vat will pay for itself the first
year on the farm of any man who is
raising cattle. 1t is natural for cat
tie to take on flesh as the winter ap-
proaches; it is so with deer and the
wild animals. But cattle on a tick
infested pasture will not gain during
cred with ticks and it is this time of
the year when ticks are more numer-
Gus. This / know, as l have weighed
my cattle every month in the year.
Ticks are usually very bad the last of
August and during the month of Sep
TENDER, and if the cattle are dipped
every two weeks the gain during this
period on bunch of so steers will
more than pay for the tank.
If one has the sand and gravel near
his farm he can build tank for about
$50 and the ingredients for filling will
not cost over IS or Sc at the drug
store.
A County That Is Going Into Live

The much-dreaded boil weevil will
not bring terror to the farmers of this

PARIS, Nov. 81. - There was given
out semi officially in Paris yesterday
afternoon the following;
The other day in Belgium, Il German
column was advancing to attack the
Forest of Brie, defended by detach-
ment of ZOuaves. Our men noticed that
before them the Germans forced a
Zouave prisoner. and at the same time
they heard cries of stop firing For
an instant our ritiemen and the men
in charge of our machine guns hesitat-
ed Then from the German ranks they
heard the voice of the Zouave prisoner,
who called to them: ''Shoot! - (tirez
done, nom de dieu).
There then flashed out from the
ranks of the Zouaves general dis
charge of rifles and machine guns. This
fire laid low the absailants of the
Zouaves, and with them fell the heroic
soldier whose devotion made it possible
for his countrymcn to eheckmate the
ruse of the enemy.
If the name of this brave man is
unknown. at least his regiment will re-

of their subjects have not been pro

tions of the desire of those European
governments for the exercise by the
United States of its good offices in

day that the United States assumed
no obligation in that connection, the

AUSTRO-TURKISH FLEET
TO ATTACK ITALY?
Germans Said to Be Fostering Agita
ton in Albania - Rome and Blu
charest Getting Together.

ROME. Nov. "a. - Germany having
succeeded in pushing Turkey against
the allies Austria is doing her utmost
to induce Turkey to attack Italy. At
the same time the Italian govern
ment is well aware of what is going
on, hut none the less hesitates to be
lieve a report that has Just come in
from one OF its most reliable agents
that common action by combined
Austro-Turkish squadron is to be ex-
Ipected against ftalv ut n very early
date.
What is ,rndeniable, though, is that
a violent anti-Itahan agitation is being
carried on by Turkish emissaries in
Albania. The Germans are said TO be
actively countenancing this movement,
, the first consequence of which has been
the raising of Il crop of about 1000
| Albanian irregulars, who are TO be
posted at Avlona.
1t may be added that Rome and
Bucharest are drawing closer together
daily, and there are good grounds fol
believing that Prince Ghika, the Ru-
imanian minister. who has just returned
here after hurried visit to Bucharest
has come back charged with special
instructions for dealing with develop
ments in the situation by the closest
operation with the Italian govern
ment.
