Golden Opportunity
Awaits Southern Farmer.

There is a golden opportunity that
awaits only the taking on the part OF
the southern farmer, and this opportu-
nifty exists in stock-raising.
No where in the world can finer cat
tie be raised at less expense than in
the south. Not only can al the nee
essary feed stuffs be grown here, but
there is a considerable portion OF the
wear when the cattle can almost make
their own living by grazing. The finest
bull that ever went to the Chicago
market was a Durham bun shipped
from a north Mississippi town. The Inn
mense bovine occupied an entire car to
himself and when he rea ached the Chi
cago stock yards, commission mer-
chants in large numbers hocked TO
see him and were astounded that such
an immense animal could be raised
anywhere outside of the west Dur
ing the past year the best beef cattle
received at East St. Louis went from
the south.
There Is no question about tit IS
not an experiment-great money can
be made in raising cattle for the mar
ket. It is a safe and sure undertak-
ing.
AS to raising hogs, that has been
done all over the south for many years
but not in sufficient quantities. 1t is
no trouble to raise hogs in this coun-
try, and why the people do not take
advantage of the opportunity now af-
forded IN that line is an unexplained
and unexplainable mystery
Talk about gold mines-what better
gold mile could people desire than to
raise plenty of cattle and hogs fer the
market The price of meat is soaring
higher than any aeroplane can 70, and
1t will remain high for number of
years. 1t is conceded that the price
will not soon come down, but even if it
does It will not drop below a profit
making price.
The opportunity is here People can
raise not only all the meat that they
can consume at home. but they can
raise meat for the market-they can
always sell cattle and hogs for ready
money, and in addition to this they
can raise other things-almost any
thing that is needed for home con-
sumption.
OF course, it is easy to preach these
things. But they are not impossible
of accomplishment. They are easy to
do, if people would ouly make up their
minds to do them.
There is a great opportunity for
southern farmers and some of them
are beginning to realize it. They are
the ones who will prosper

Lack of Transportation Felt.
Lack of transportation facilities has
been. and is. another potent cause
which has operated against the de-
velopment Of promising mining re-
gions," he says. land Joined to all this
is the. additional embargo that has
been placed upon the territory by that
government policy which has resulted
| in locking up the coal areas Of Alaska,
| thus preventing their development, the
promotion Of industrial and commercial
activity, and the increase of popuIa-
l.tion-a condition. If this policy were
/ reversed, that would be created by the
opportunities for labor and capital that
would accrue from the establishment
of new line of human endeavor and
activity.
"a comprehensive system Of rail-
roads for Alaska is a thing indis-
pensible for the development of the
country, because it's prosperity and
further development depends upon the
solution Of the problem Of transpor-
tation This system should not only
! include one or more trunk lines, from
some point or points on the coast, to
the great interior country, but 1t
should also embrace branch lines to the
coal fields and other mining sections
wherever pTa cticable This recOmmen-
dation is in line with the report of the
i Alaska railroad commission. made to
congress in 1912, and bill now before
congress is intended to provide such
railroad facilities and I earnestly re-
commend Its passage, to the end that
something approaching adequate rail-
road transportation shall be furnished
to the men who are now endeaVoring to
develop the various geographical Sec
tionS of the territory, in the face Of
almost insurmountab BILE handicaps, and
to those others who will follow in their
wake, by .teh thousands. into the rich
agricultural, mining and timber regions
that will be opened uD by means of the
railroad systems contemplated by the
bill now before the congress.
Roads and Trails Needed.
Supplementary to railroads, and as
producers of added tonnage for railroad
transportation, there should be a large
ly increased appropriation by congress
for the construction and maintenance
of new roads and trails. An appro-
priatiOn by congress of a million dol
lars year for this purpose, for per-
iod of ten years, would, I submit, add
to the national wealth, in a decade and
a half, $4,000 900, because since
cheap transportation is the essential
factor in the development of pioneer
countries the resultant effect would be
a tremendous increase in the mineral
output of the territory, besides opening
to agricultural pursuits vast areas of
land now practically inaccessible, or
which can only be reached at great
cost"

 Of course you've all read more or less about the newish movement for scientific efficiency" It is, in gen. eral terms, an attempt to eliminate waste work from industry,-to cut out the Host motions" Its theory is that a man who is producing or making something will produce more and easier if he doesn't do any work dur ing the operation except what is di- rectly put on his task
 Is that little thick? Try it anoth- CT way
 If you are a carpenter working at a bench. and required to turn out daily . hundred pieces of stuff of 8 certain exact size, you have first to measure and mark the rough lumber. then saw N e the marks. If your square and pencil are at one end of the bench and your saw at the other, three steps away, then, after you've marked your lines, you've got to take six steps to get your saw and bring it back to the work. In fitting the hundred pieces, youlI have taken six hundred steps. If the saw were kept at the same end with the square and pencil so 1t could be reached without lifting a foot, then you'd save six hundred steps in the course of your day.
 And those six hundred steps take time. They also take strength. They alSo use up energy All TOT no uSeEuI purpose. To cut them out would save you enough time and strength and energy to fit perhaps a hundred and ten pieces. without any more effort than had previously been spent on the hundred The only difference would be that you'd be spending all the time, strength. and energy aforesaid in di- rect ? production of fitted stuff 1Ii- stead of wasting a part of 1t in need less wanderings up and down by the bench.

farmer harness a team of horses? Did you ever watch an engine company harness it's team when an alarm of fire came in? Cases have been known where an engine was actually going out of the engine-house doors thirty seconds after the alarm sounded. In that beat of bats wing the horses had been harnessed, hitched to the en- zine and got away for the fire. How could they do it? Simply by having everything ready, always exactly in its right place, and by eliminating eV- cry triffing waste motion. Nothing had to be done except drop the har- nesses on the animals, snap the snaps, and git. That's scientific efficiency nth power.
 I have several neighbors who, when they hitch on to a. light buggy or cut ter, always buckle the hold back straps. Each strap has to be passed through the thrilI-loop, twice around the shaft then tucked under the first loop and buckled in the third hole,- after which it has to be worked" and twisted till it comes even and pulls true.
 Another man has his hold backs ready fitted on the thills of each ve- hicle with snaps to catch to the breeching rings.
