County Funds for Breeding Stock.

The Commissioners OF Laurens
County. Georgia. have the unique dis
tinction OF having inaugurated a live
stock breeding enterprise. The initial
step was taken when a purebred stall
lion OF the Percheron type was pur-
chased. under the advice OF the State
College OF Agriculture. for the sum of
$500. This stallion is to be used for
the benefit OF the farmers OF the
county. Later on the commissioners
plan To introduce other pure-bred ami
mails.
The commissioners have been led
to take this step by public-spirited
citizens OF the county who were en-
couraged by authorities Of the Col
lege OF Agriculture. Arguments ad-
vanced I'm It's favor were that bet
ter pulling horses were as much
needed as good roads. and that
money put into a pure-brel stallion
would prove a growing investment,
the colts produced In three or four
years creating n source of tax revenue
far exceeding tho original outlay. not
TO mention the enlarged profits OF
farming coming from better draft
stock.
other counties In Georgia are be-
Ing pressed To take similar action,
and the example of Laurcns will
doubtless prove effective In inducing
others.
The fact that the last census
showed only about one colt raised In
Georgia for every 100 farmers. and
that while the state can raise It's
work. stock II Is spending about
Si,90O.O00 a month for purchasing It,
indicates of course. the necessity for
extraordinary steps TO inaugurated colt
raising.
Marked progress IL being made IN

rection. and ~ present progress Keeps
up. Georgia will have a most phe-
nOmenal record of increase of colts

WHAT NEGRO HAS ACHIEVED.
Wilson's Proclamation I'm Behalf OF
Exposition.

Washington, July 2.-President
Wilson's proclamation bespeaking Ma
tional government interests in the ex-
position to commemorate fifty years
achievements OF the negro race. which
Is to open at Richmond, Va, next
week. was issued from the White
House today. IL Is as follows:
"A national exposition In commem-
oration OF the achievements of the
negro race during the last fifty years
will be held In Richmond. Va, July
To Is, 1915. The occasion n s. been
recognized as OF national importance
by congress through an appropriation
Of $1,000 to aid In It's promotion and
consummation. This sum Is being ex-
pended. by the terms OF the appropria-
tion. under tho direction Of the gov
ernor OF Virginia.
The exposition Is under the aus
pices of the Negro Historical and In
dustrial Association. The action OF
congress In this matter indicates very
happily the desires of the nation as
well as OF the people OF Virginia to
encourage the negro In his efforts TO
solve his Industrial problem.
The National Negro Exposition Is
designed TO demonstrate his progress
I'm the last fifty years and to empha-
size his opportunities. AS president

THE COW AND HER PRODUCT.

The market price of butter is gov
erned primarily by it's quality. The
quality Of butter is governed by the
quality Of cream and the quality OF
cream by the care it receives on the
farm.
If you have five or more COWS, you
need cream separator. There is no
other way of getting all the butterfat
out Of milk. A separator will soon
pay for itself in the saving of butter
fat.
Too much care cannot be taken in
washing the separator. The separator
gathers impurities from the milk that
passes through it and must be clean
ed thoroughly after using.
A clean separator will skim more
closely and will last longer than one
that it not thoroughly washed after
each separation. This is aside from
the advantage Of cleanliness, which is
most important.
Cool cream Immediately after sepa-
ration by setting the cream can in
cold water Cream is a highly per-
ishable product. When it is warm
germs will thrive in it and spoil it.
The first essential for having clean
milk is to keep clean. healthy cows.
The dirt that falls from the COW into
the milk cannot be entirely strained
out.
Do not feed roughage to cows until
after milking. The dust from dry
fodder and the odors from slage get
into milk when roughage is fed before
or during milking.

OATS BEST FEED FOR HORSES.
Best and Safest Single Grain Ration
One that All Horses Eat With
Relish.

Clemson College, July 3.-In COM
parison with any Of the grain rations.
oats are the best single grain ration
Tor both mature horses and colts and
for mules. There is no other grain so
safe to feed and from which such
satisfactory results are obtained. The
live stock experts of Clemson College
advise, however, that it is absolutely
necessary that oats be clean and en-
tirely free from mold in order to OBJ
tain best results in feeding to colts.
"Musty" oats are dangerous for colts
A fair &llowance of oats for colts
after weaving is as follows
Up to one year of age, from 2 to 8
pounds daily.
From one to two years, to 5
pounds daily.
From two to threo years, z to 8
pounds daily.
The best way to feed oats Is in the
whole grain, the expense of crushing
not being justified unless colts suffer
in teething, in which case it is advis-
able to feed steamed crushed oats,
which are very nourishing and appe-
tizing. 1t is always wise to feed plenty
of roughage to growing colts. Feed
ing concentrated feeds in excesse is
discouraged, as it is important that
the digestive tract be developed by
it during the growing pc
riod. Ungainly, large -barreled colts
may annoy the feeder, but this con-
dition always disappears with ma
turity.

CAPE HAITIEN QUIET.
No Need for Landing Marines There.

Washington, July 2.-Quiet prevails
at Cape Haitien and the Haitien gov
ernment is in undisputed control
said a cablegram to the navy depart
ment today from Admiral Caperton
recently sent to the island with the
cruiser Washington to protect foreign
interests.
The admiral reported that marines
landed by the French cruiser Des-
cartes when foreigners were threat
ened two weeks ago as a result of the
revolution had reembarked and he
had not thought it necessary to land
force to replace them.
President Sans government, said
tOday's report, controls all towns in
the vicinity Of Cape Haitien, and ap-
parently the revOlutionists have re-
ceived a severe check.
The Haitien situation has been dis
cussed by President Wilson with Sec
rotary Lansing since the latest revolu-
ton became serious and a change in
the American policy towards the re-
public has been considered. The
landing of French marines during
fighting which restored the city to
the government forces drew attention
sharply to the situation.

PLAN TO CARE FOR SOUTH,
FEDERAL RESERVE BOARD
WOULD AVERT PANIC.
Board Thinks it Will he Able to Pre-
vent Repetition of Last Falls Con-
ditions-Will Prevent Congestion of
Cotton.

Washington, July 2.-The fedora,
reserve board has decided to take
every possible precaution to prevent
recurrence next fall Of conditions
such as confronted the South last
year as a result of the unusually
large cotton crop and the shutting
off of large part of the European
market.
In carrying out it's plan the board
has appointed a committee with w.
Il. G.. Harding as chairman to exam
inc into conditions and determine the
best way to take care of the coming
crop.
Mr.. Harding has written letter to
the federal reserve agent Of each of
the four Southern federal reserve
banks asking for information and es :
pressing the belief that under present
conditions, with large surplus reserves
In the banks, there is every reason to
expect that the next crop can be
taken care of without difficulty. He
also noted that the domestic demand
for cotton is increasing.
Mr.. Harding's letter follows:
THE federal reserve board, realiz-
ing the possibility of a congestion of
stocks of cotton this fall due to alb
normal conditions i'm our export trade,
desires full information regarding the
facilities in your district for ware
housing and financing the cotton
which would under ordinary condi-
tons be exported. The board has,
therefore, appointed a committee to
consider the question and gather data
on the subject. The board feels that
In view of the large surplus reserves
now held by the banks throughout
the country. there should be no diff
ficulty, so far as the financial abil-
ity of the country is concerned, in
providing for necessary advances upon
that part of the crop which will
eventually be shipped abroad. 1t ap-
pears from data in hand that the
demand for our domestic manufac-
lures of cotton goods is increasing,
and 1t seems to the boards COM
mittee that there is no occasion what
ever for a depression in the price of
raw cotton such as was experienced
last fall. The committee believes that
the cooperation Of merchants and
bankers will result In the proper
handling of the crop.
I'm this connection attention is
called to the estimate Of the depart
ment of agriculture that the South
now has warehouse capaciy Of
9,664,0 bales. II proper use is made
OF this capacity and Of the loanable
resources Of the banks. including both
members and nonmembers of the fed
eral reserve system, a gradual mar
keting of the crop will be entirely
possible and any danger of a repeti-
tion of last years conditions will be
averted.
THE writer. as chairman of the
boards committee, would be glad to
have your views on this subject, and
is anxious to secure your cooperation
in formulating plans to reassure and
protect the farmers. merchants and
others interested in our cotton grow
ing industry"

The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-06-03
VOLUME FORTY-EIGHT.

J. H. and S. Simonton issued the
first number of the Sank Centre Her
aid, June 6, 1867. For At years this pa
per has stood for the best interests of
Sank Centre, and has improved and
progressed with the city and commun-
ity.
1t may not be generally known but
at the time the Herald was establish
ed, it was the most northwesterly
newspaper published east of the
Rocky mountains, save at what was
then Fort Gary (now Winnipeg) Can.
The founder of the Herald is still
a highly respected resident of Sank
Centre and number VINO were sub
scribers to the initial numbers still
look forward to the weekly visits of
this family journal.
The Herald has always had a high
standing among the country press OF
the state, and although but compare
lively few men have edited it during
the At years of it's existence, they
have been men of ability and eXper-
fenced in newspaper work.
The present editor and owner of the
Herald took over the plant little less
than two years ago, and it has been
our constant desire to make the Her.
aid representative of the best inter-
ests of the community. The business
men and people have been liberal in
their appreciation, with. the result
that today the paper is enjoying by
far the largest business in it's history,
and it's plant and equipment is equal
led by few country papers in the
Northwest.
Of course it is a physical impossi-
bility to publish real newspaper and
not make mistakes or create criticism.
Items of news have been taken as ed
itorial opinion, and sometimes state
ments and intentions not expressed
have been read into articles.
We are not finding fault, however,
as the people of Sank Centre have been
mighty considerate of the Herald
family and the Herald business, and
we hope in the year to come to con-
tinue to merit cooperation and sup
port in business way and in return
we shall endeavor to continue to stand
for what, from our viewpoint, is for
the best business and moral interests
of Sank Centre and tributary terri
tory. A. M. W.
