raising hogs and cattle in Georgia will
be brought out vividly at the meeting
of farmers, merchants and bankers,
called BY the Georgia Chamber of Com
merce to be held at Albany, January
28th, and Macon, January 29th, and
bankers and merchants will be asked
to enter into arrangements with farm
ers to asst them in beginning to raise
hogs and cattle. With sufficient in
crease in the number of meat animals
raised in Georgia, the problem Of find
ing markets for grain and forage crops
would be settled, for feed converted

AMER|CUS STOCK
DEALERS BRIDGE
MURE PURCHASES
NOT A CARLOAD WILL BE SHIPPED
HERE THIS SEASON.

! Americus stock dealers, usually a.
this season, have sold one thousand TO
twelve or even fifteen hundred mules
to farmers of Sumter and the adjacent
counties and at prices varying from
$3.50 to $3.50 each. This season, not a
single mule has been shipped to this
market, nor will there be any such
purchases made. Upon the other hand,
several hundred good farm mules have
been sold in Americus recently and
shipped away to the European war
zone.
There's good evidence of the inten-
ton of the farmers here to cut down
the cotton acreage. Not only will they
decline to buy 1900 new mules. but
instead have recently sold here 400 to
500 mules and shipped them away.
Fewer mules, less fertilizer, means
cotton acreage reduction.
In Sumter county the cotton acreage
itself will be reduced from rs to 35 per
cent, owing to the fact that more atten-
tion is being paid to corn, wheat and
oats. The use of commercial fertilizers
will also be greatly reduced this
spring.
Several farmers report that tenants
would not, in their opinion, use over
one ton of commercial fertilizer to the
plow. There has been no fertilizer
movement whatever in this section, so
far. Usually the local fertilizer factor
les receive large quantities of mater
ials for manufacturing purposes by
this time but they have received prac-
tically none this season.
Supply men will be conservative in
making advances to farmers this
spring, and these various influences
will operate to substantially reduce the
cotton crop. 1t is believed that the sit
uation in this section is typical of that
of the entire South.

GEORGIA CAN REAP
PROFITS FROM SO
SHOES AND 80 MEAT
Especial to Times-Recorder)

| Especial TO TlmeS-hecOrQer.)
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 26.-The tre-
mendous opportunity offered Geor-
gians in raising hogs and cattle and
corn and forage to fatten hogs and
cattle, is indicated by recent statement
of Henry ]. Williamson, statistician
of the United States department Of
agriculture, and j. Ogden Armour,
head of the great Armour packing con-
Germ the former predicting that meat
will go to so cents pound and shoes
to $40 a pair within two years, and
Mr., Armour intimating that meat will
soon become a luxury in the United
States. 1t has been proven conclusive
ly that hogs can be raised in Georgia
at 1-2 to cents a pound and cattle
at proportionately less than 1t costs
in the West. Hence there is the op-
portunity of lifetime for Georgia
farmers to make themselves independ-
ent by raising hogs and cattle.
According to Mr.. Williamson, a gov
ernment census of the cattle in the
United States shows a visible supply
of less than 35,OOO,0OO head, including
calves, yearlings and full-grown stock,
and the number of animals capable Of
breeding is reduced to an alarmingly
deficient supply. Mr.. Williamson says;
"Meat in America will be rarity be-
fore the war ends, with it's drain on
our supply. Unless scientific breeding
becomes general and the slaughter Of
calves ceases, before five years have
expired America will find herself in
the class of European countries that
have to look to importation to supply
meat"
I'VE are now meat exporting ma
tion," said Mr.. Armour. Cattle re-
ceipts at the six principal western
markets have been shrinking for nine
years. The receipts now are the
smallest in thirty years. Since 1900
the population has increased 26 per
cent, while beef cattle have declined
more than 20 per cent. In the same
period the slaughter of calves increas-
ed 600 per cent. There are now 3S,-
100000 head against 51,0O0,O0O seven
years ago. The prices have advanced
so that the total cattle now represent
$3.50 900 900 more than the 51,O0O,OOO
did in 1907"

BROOKS COUNTY MULE
HAS MADE THIRTY CROPS
"MOLLIE" is STILL IN SERVICE AT
THE AGE OF THIRTY -FOUR
Especial to Times-Recorder.) }

tOpCCldl " L
QUITMAN, Ga, Jan. 25.--"Mollie," a
Brooks county mule, has a record of
such long and honorable service she
deserves to be held up as an example
of the faithful qualities of her kind.
Mollie belongs to B. P. Harrington, of
Morven, and she has made thirty-two
crops for him these past thirty years.
Mr.. Harrington bought her in Quitman
thirty years ago and says she is 80
years old
Mollie also proves to anybody who
is interested in such peculiarities that
mules turn gray with age, just like
people. MolIie was sleek and black
when Mr.. Harrington first bought her
and she is now perfectly white. The
transformation occurred gradually,
changing from black to gray and from
gray to white.
Though not as spry as in her youth
Mollie is still on the job and can do
as much work in day as many a
younger but unseasoned mule would
do. After the crop making was over
last season, Mollie took her turn as
a sawmill mule during the winter.

PAPER RECOUNTS tale
OF WOMAN'S revenge
She and Daughters Abducted. She Tor
lures Dying Germans and Blows Up
Ammunition. Dying in Blast.

Paris, Jan l0-Le Matin tells OF the
terrible retributiOn that has Overtaken
some German troops near Soissons. When
forced to retreat from SOissons the Ger
mans are alleged to have abducted a
large proportion of the female pOpula-
ton, taking them to the Quarries, where
they were entrenched for some months.
Among these modern Sabines were Nine.
Mesral and two daughters, Louise and
Marie aged twelve and eleven.
After a recent engagement the ground
man wounded and at night n French
lieutenant who also lay wounded on the
field perceived n woman fitting from
body to body in the darkness, her hair
floating loose in the wind. Raising him
self on his elbow. the lieutenant says the
woman, whom he afterwaTd discovered

man wounded with face cOnvulsed with
hate
Fine soldier of the Kaiser she would
say with a terrifying laugh, I've often
seen YOU in the Quarrics. Louise and
Marie are beneath the sod; go join
them.
The next night the quarries were
shaken by a terrific explosion and the
French stan learned that Nine. Mesral.
known as the mad woman of scissors,
had crcpt back into the quarries and
ignited a huge supply Of German ammuni-
tion. shaving a large number of Germans
and being blown to pieces herself.

some OF the pastry triumphs of the Mid
die Ages. when huge feasts were prepared
Tor the lords and their retainers by the
chefs of the time.
In those DAYS when oxen were cooked
whole and served and when peacocks
were served in their plumage, it was no

big enough to hide within its shell a
small child dressed as fairy, or per-
haps live animals or birds. 1t was at
this time that the famous Mother Goose
