tension of their lines from Athens to
Anderson.
SOUTHERN RY. RE-TRACKING- =
l have been requested by MIR. j. j..
Fretwell to bring to your attention
the fact thet the Board of Directors Of
the Southern railway meet in Wash
ington June 3rd to discuss the mat
ter OF re-tracking. or rather double
tracking their main line between
Gleenviile and Gainesville. He sug-
gests and urges that committee
should be sent to Washington to
place before the directors there the
matter OF 'diverting this second track
via Anderson, as was suggested ut
our annual meeting by our chairman.
MIR. Hammett. He also suggests and
requests that l bring 10 your atten-
tiCn the advisibility at the same time
Of advising the Southern officials that
Anderson stands ready to do all pos
Fible to secure completion of the
Blue Ridge. AS it is now probably too
late to send representative to Wash
ington or to get letter there, have
written out tentative telegram in
the matter. Such IS only placed be-
fore and not even suggested or rec
commended. II is u matter of such

so collect. BY this method we save
the cost of collecting, q pretty con-
siderable sum. and l believe the new
plan Is best. Our fund for this cur
rent year is approximately $4,000. 90,
including $4,000 from the Duke IN
terests,: which we have so far not Sc
cured.i We are operating on less
money than last year. or about $4,000
per month. which is based on a COL

ETC.. which would make total OF
$5,000.44 or Just about exactly what
our fund Is. and we would, therefore,
have to have 100 per cent collections
to get through. AS above stated,
suggest that we continue a paid traf-
fic manager. certain concerns should
increase subscriptions sufficiently to
cover at least 90 to 75 per cent. OF this
expense, otherwise do not see where
we will have the money to continue
that department. We have collected
30 far about GO per cent OF the first
half OF dues due. and are now starting
out to collect the balance, which
should carry us to September Let,
when we will call for the second half.

CARE OF HEIFERS At
FRESHENINC Time

As the heifer approaches freshening
she should be given the most excellent
care for the purpose of developing her
maternal tendency and also for devel-
Iping the unborn calf, says KimbalIs
Dairy Farmer. She should be excep-
ionally we'll fed during the last month
# this period. Feeding shelled corn
and Or is without grinding is wasteful,
for Il large portion Of these foods go
through the digestive tract unused. 1t
would be much more advisable to
s.'ilid the oats and corn.
y very desirable ration for heifers
to he fed two months prior to freshen-
iig consists Of equal parts of ground
);.tS. bran. Oi!meal and ground corn.
II t}ie Teifer is poor in flesh she
shoUid be we'll fed. but if she is rather
Heshy it would be better to decrease
he proportion of corn, feeding a larger
percentage Of the other foodstuffs sug-
yested. Succulent foods are always
advisable. For this reason the silo is

exceptionally advantageous on dairy
farms. If corn silage is not accessible
it is advisable to feed beet pulp or 9TH
er such foods in conjunction with
good clover or alfalfa hay.
AS the heifer approaches freshening
the ration should be reduced until
about two days prior to freshening,
when all solid foods should be taken
from her and bran mashes substituted
Feeding by the quart is not advisa-
BILE, because the amount Of food varies
so greatly from day to day. a much
better method would be to weigh the
feed and give a definite number Of
pounds OF each fOOdstuff daily or pro-
vide a mixture and feed q certain
number Of pounds of this, according
to the condition and production of the
different individuals in the herd. 1t
may seem to the feeder that this will
require a considerable amount Of time
but by following this plan there will
be less waste of foodstuffs, and the
production of milk and butter fat will
be greater in response to the extra
pains taken.
