have party in mind, said a man who
pays particular and intelligent atten-
ton to such things, who bought thirty
one head of native steers two years ago
and sold them off of his pasture this
month, and after paying per cent in
jerest on his invested money and de-
ductng for the loss of one steer, he then
made Is per cent per annum on the
money invested,
These steers gained on pasture this
season Ia pounds per day for 173 days,
thus giving net profit of 1922 per
head. The land on which these cattle
grazed is much below the average in
fertility and would not rent for $2 per
acre, and if it had been planted to cot
ton, corn or oats, it is doubtful if the
income from any one Of these crops
this year would have been as much as
the expense of making it. D."
The man who grows plenty of feed
and feeds it all to his own stock aud
judiciously conserves the manure and
applies it to his land is the man who is
going to make his farm pay. Don't
look for riches to come in a year but
content yourself with a small profit.
Acquire plenty of patience and stay
with the cattle business. Change the
old adsge--"Grow more cotton to buy
more feed TO grow more cotton, etc. L"
to this safer plan-grow more feed to
feed more cattle to buy more cattle, -
and your land will grow richer, your in
come will be steadier and better and
the farm will become to you and your
family more than just place to live.

should. then her people should
go to work independently and
contruct a thoroughfare through
the State along the road built by
Jackson, and call it the Jackson
Military Road.
To do that would for her be a
Titanic work.
But her sons. if they will pull,
and pull altogether. for it, can ac-
complish it.
Were they to do that-build
from Columbus through the
State to the Louisiana line along
JackSon's line of travel, can it
be doubted that New Orleans
would see to the completion of
the road to Canal street?
The road from Columbus to
New Orleans completed the peo-
pie of Middle Tennessee and of
North and East Alabama would
construct the road from
Nashville to the Mississippi line
near Columbus.
1t can be done, it ought to be
done, and it will be done.
Mark the prediction! There
are persons living today who
will live to see the thing done.

Tick Eradication.

When tick eradication was first start
ed in this county there was consider
able opposition to it and among the
many argument or objections raised
against it, was that it could never be
done" - that rabbits and dogs would
keep the bugs alive. All that sort of
skepticism has disappeared and ninety
five per cent of the farmers now recog-
nize the great benefits of raising cattle
without the tick and that eradication
can be accomplished by dipping cattle
through the spring and summer months
regularly. During the first year or
two of the work several farmers were
fined for violating the quarantine law
Now since great majority of the cat
tie in the county have been made i'm
mune, the ticks themselves impose and
collect the fine. For failure to dip Ia

ing infected, and the owner is fineat i

Alabama line, but it will only beash0rt
time before the border counties will be
forced into the eradication of the pest
through quarantine, even if they fail to
recognize the benefits to be derived and
go into tick eradication with voluntarily
Nh. Chappell of Perkinsville, who
was in town this week, said they
were making great progress in his
neighborhood and that every cattle
owner vas dipping regularly.
Mr. |. w. Carpenter of the A, & M.
College, was in town Tuesday and stat
ed that Oktibbeha had commenced the
work of eradication in the spring and
had made such progress that quaran-
tine would be lifted by the first of the
year. but that dipping would be con-
tinued throughout next year.
What has made the work in Noxubee
county so costly is the lack of through
hess with the work has been conducted.
This is illustrated by this instance.
Some tine ago Mr.. Finis Carleton, who
has lot of graded cattle and $500
Angus bull, bought yearling from
negro on the Rockhill place. The ne
gro was to deliver the animal and when
he did not do so Mr.. Carleton went to
see about it and found ticks on the
yearling and on other cattle on the ne
gro's place. The tenants said that
tick inspector had not been on the place
in two years. Probably at one time
that place mad been free but as it ad-
Joined the Alabama line the cattle had
become reinfected and as some inspec-
tor had failed to do his duty in not
forcing the cattle owners to dip, all of
Carleton's cattle were jeopardized as
well as every other head of cattle in
that neighborhood.
Another source of danger is horses
even temporarily brought into this
county from Alabama that are infested
with ticks. A short time ago Mr..
Ormsby, justice of the peace, MOTTO
ed negro on the public road riding
tick infested horse and very properly
had him arrested and fined.
Until steps are taken to prevent
these evasions of the law the expense to
the county will not only continue but
everyfarmer runs the constant danger
to lose one COW or his herd of cattle.

did anything but, boost their averages.

lie was the only son OF W. Ernest
Shackleford, one OF New jerseys best
players, and the only grandson OF Capt
John Young, of million dollar pier fame,
for whom the deceased was named
John Shackleford was II years Of age and
died In the city Hospital as the result of
an operation performed on Friday for
mastoiditls.
When George Bowden, professional
at the GedesCo Country club, returned
from Port Antonio, Jamaica, b. w. l.,
after spending the winter directing the
development Of a new course there, he
told that in the last winter he had gangs
of more than a hundred working under
his direction a good part of the time,
among them a large number OF women.
The land on which the course is being
constructed Is one of hills and holows
and not al OF them the natural undula-
tions that are desired for golf course.
Bowdcn had the men laborers digging
away some of the hills and the women
carrying the dirt in bucket loads to
dump into the hollows. Swampy spots
of character where drains would not
do the work also are being filled in the
same manner.
The Tedesco professional was in for
a surprise. and not a pleasant one, when
he returned to Jamaica early in the
season. When he left a year ago he
had left instruction for work and eX-
pected to find the fair green In good
shape on his return. What he actually
did find was nine excellent putting greens
and n fair green little better than he
had left It year since, All efforts had
been put into the putting green's The
consequences are that the course Is not
vet playable and what probably would
have been n good season was lost.
Some one of a mathematical disposition
has figured It out that New York city
pays out S6,O00,OO0 a year on its golf
This is not guesswork, but 1t is based
on actual figures obtained from various
sources 1t is asserted.
Whether or not President Wilson can
play championship golf ig not to be dis
cussed here, but he has the human side
of the game down to n dot. In a recent
interview he said:
There Is nothing 1 know that Eivea
man more pride of accomplishment
than good drive. a good approach or
any shot well played"
That is purely the personal phase or
the situation and explains how it is
that the charms OF the game are so at
tractive. He said further with a keen
appreciation of golf; That's the phi
losophy of everything; hit the ball; hit 1t
as we'll as you can-but hit it
