BEEF CATTLE
PROSPECTS IN GEORGIA
M. p. Jarnagin, Professor of Animal
Husbandry, Georgia State Col
lege OF Agriculture

Feeding cattle for beef during the
past two years has been fraught with
uncertainty because of unusual condi-
lions caused by the war, high cost of
feed stuffs and the foot and mouth
disease.
During the year 1914 the price of
feeders was higher than during the
fall of 1915. The reasons assigned
are that there are not so many buy
ers in the field because of the price
of foodstuff Here in Georgia and
northern Florida there were many
western buyers during the fall of
1914, taking up thousands of cattle,
but during the fall of 1915 they did
not show up, AS consequence local
cattle are bringing less.
True, cottonseed meal is up, but
close figuring will reveal that the saw
ing in the buying price of the animal
is greater, at least that the time this
is written, than the increased cost OF
meal will amount to in feeding Pc
riod of 80 to 100 days.
The fact that there are fewer cat
tie being fed for the market would
indicate good prices at marketing
time. In view of these considerations
1t would appear that this will be a
good year to feed cattle for beef in
Georgia, providing the farmer has
some home grown feed and a silage.

Potash Prospects
w. A. Worsham, Professor OF Asrl
cultural Chemistry, Georgia State
College OF Agriculture

Many inquiries are being made as
to the prospects of obtaining potash.
in view of the absence of the usual
supply from Germany. The indica-
cations are that the fertilizer dealers
are going to put on the market, for
the most part, low grade potash.
Government Investigations of alunite
in Utah has developed that il is a
practical source OF potash, and some
of the fertilizer dealers are already
making use of it.
Not much progress has been made
in obtaining potash economically from
feldspar for fertilizer purposes. nor
has there been very much obtain
ed from kelp of the western coast.
From all these sources not enough
potash will be obtained 10 equal the
normal demand made upon Germany
and nothing at present indicates that
when the war ceases this country will
not again rely upon the German mines.
AS substitute for potash. the
farmer of Georgia will find that cotton
seed meal. if obtained at reasonable
price, may be associated with acid
phosphate and give good results.
About ia per cent of the cottonseed
meal is potash. Considering that many
Georgia soils are not deficient in pot
ash this combination may give as
much satisfaction. generally speak
ing. as could probably be hoped for
this time

o LITTLE FEET.

o little feet. o little feet

Along the road from Happiness
When hope was in its May
O little feet that never tired
Each milestone was fried
That lured you down the path to where
Love waited at the end!
O little feet. o little feet
How slowly you came back
Along the road from Happiness,
How rough and hard the track
Your dancing step you have forgot
Each stone and thorn you find.
You limp where once you stepped sc

You've learned the heart-break song
The road to happiness is snort
The backward trail is long,
The milestones that with beckoninp

Cheered all the onward way
Like the spectres haunt the silent lane
That leads from Already!

TAME HENS LAY MOST EGGS
Poultry Keeper Must Be on Good
Terms With Members of His Flock
\ Make Friends With Chicks.

When a man says his hens don't
lay or pay, or both, little observa-
ton will usually disclose the fact that
his hens are too shy and nervous to
stay on the nest long enough to lay
an egg. Have you ever watched the
successful poultry keeper, the one who
is making poultry keeping pay, how
his fowls run after him whenever he
has occasion to enter the poultry
yard? The best results cannot be OBJ
tanned from hens that are wild and
shy. The poultry keeper must be on
good terms with his hens or his hens
won't lay as they should. A hen that
is so wild that she will fly off the nest
or roost whenever anyone enters the
poultry house cannot be a good layer
She is in a continual nervous state for
fear someone will come within sight
Of her and hasn't time to think Of
laying eggs.
But there is another disadvantage
beside the one that directly affects
your pocketbook in having wild"
fowls. 1t isn't conducive to good
temper to have your fowls start cack-
ling and growing every time you hap
pen to get near them, nor is it very
convenient when you have to chase a
long-legged cockerel all over the
place every time wife wants chicken
for dinner Viewed from any angle
the tame hen is by far the more de.
sirable. 1t isn't hard to tame chick
ems. On the contrary, it is the easiest
thing imaginable. 1t is simply a mat
ter of being friendly whenever you
are around the fowls, instead of throw
ing stones at them every time they
get near you. But the fowls are by
far the easiest to tame when young.
Start making friends with your chicks
this summer and your next hens will
be tames ones.

Her cheeks burned in confusion as

ONLY ONE COMMON LANGUAGE
Music the Sole Medium That Tells a
Tale Ineligible to the Whole
of Mankind.

The nations of the earth. close as
they are together in these days, are
worlds apart in thought. Each builds
its life in words, and the words are
as little alike as in the days of Babel;
and thus it comes about that we mis-
understand one another.
We translate one another only into
our own language, and understand
one another as little as before, be-
cause we only know one another in
translations, and the best of the life
of each nation remains end always
will remain lntransiatable.
70 one has ever really translated
the Greek lyrics or the choruses OF
Aeschylus or the Incompatible songs
of Heine. Who could dream of put
ting the best of Robert Louis Steven
son into German, or Kipling's rollick
ing ballads of soldier life into Span
ish, or Walter Pater into Dutch, OF
Edgar Allan Poe into Russian!
The one language common to us all

into the blackness or the brightness
of the listeners soul and becomes a
thousand melodies instead of one.
What does the moaning monotony o
Korean love song mean to the west
erner, or what does the swan sons
mean to the Korean? Only Coo
knows. We can never translate one
nation into the language Of another;
our best is only an Interpretation, anC
we must always meet the criticism
that we have failed with the repl!
that we had never hoped to succeed
The best we can do is to give {
kindly, a goodhumored and, at al
times and above all things, a Chart

WILL ELECTRLFY ALL ROADS
Railroads Already Preparing for
Change, Is the Assertion Of
Chicago Engineer.

Electricity for transportation pur-
poses is just in its infancy and it will
not be long until all the transcontinen-
tai railroads will be using electricity
for motive power. This is the belief
of H. A. Strauss, consulting engi-
neer of Chicago.
"The railroads are gradually coming
into the belief that electrical motive
power is the thing" Mr.. Strauss said.
1T is cheaper than steam, cleaner and
has greater propelling power.
"The transformation will be gradual.
1t will begin at the terminals first,
then extend to the mountain grades,
and then the intervening spaces will
be electrified Some of the Eastern
roads have now electrified their ter
minals, and the Great Northern is u.s.
ing electric motive power on the Cas-
cade tunnel division to take the trains
through the mountains. They are u.s.
ing the regenerative control of cleo
tricity, in which the motors on the To-
comotives move the wheels on the as
cent, and on the descent the wheels
move the motors, thereby generating
electricity for the next ascent"
Several transcontinental lines are
now acquiring water rights along their
route with the end in view of electri-
flying their roads, Mr.. Strauss con-
tinued.
"The Milwaukee, St. Paul & Puget
Sound, known here as the Milwaukee
road, has now let contracts for seven
hundred miles of identification of
their road in the West" he said. THE
Denver G Rio Grande and the Great
Northern are quietly acquiring water
rights, and it is only a question of
time unit. electricity is used on all
roads"

Why Watches Co Wronp.

Recent tests have shown that a
watch which normally varies only to
the extent of second day may
gain or lose a quarter of a minute in
"A hours if it is hung up Oh a stand
Or bedpogt. The angle at Which it
hangs is also factor. 1t is also be-
lieved that the well-known fact of q
watch keeping bad time when worn
by some one else than the owner is
not due to bodily temperature or ami
NAL magnetism, as is generally be-
lieved, but to the different rhythm of
motion.
