MERITS OF CERTAIN DAIRY
RREEDS


A. III. P, Athens, Ga. writes: Which
gives the greatest quantity of milk, the
HOistein the Jersey? How long are they
dry before coming in. How much milk do
they average during the time they are not
dry? How much does it cost TO keep
COW?
A good pure-bred Jersey or Holstein
COW will probably cost you from $40 to
800. Choice speciments curse, cam
not be bought for less than $500 to $500
Good grade COWS of these breeds will
probably bring $50 and upward The
Holstein gives the greatest quantity IF
milk, but ii is not so rich in butter fat.
On the other hand, because of the great
er volume of milk given by the Holstein
COW, she will probably yield as much or
more butter in a day than will be OBJ
tanned from a Jersey COW. The Jersey
COW does not give so much milk but it
is richer IN butter fat. She produces a
milk better suited to mature persons
than to children.
The length of time cow is dry be-
tween parturition periods depends alto
gether on the manner in which she IS
handled as well as on her individuality
and breeding. A good cow of either
breed should give milk for eleven months
of the year, and if she does not give
milk for at least ten months she should
be disposed Of and replaced by a better
animal. The amount OF milk given by q
COW Will give from two up to ten gallons,
and a Jersey from one and half to four
or five. We would not keep a SOW which
did not give an average of two gallons
of milk for at least ten or eleven months
Of the year In other words, the mini
mum amount of milk you should expect
from a good COW is 5000 to 5000 pounds
a year. We have cows which have CIV
en- more than twice the amount Of milk
Indicated, and they have proven profit
able dairy producers.
The cost of keeping a COW depends al
togther on the management you can ac-
cord her. If you have pasturage avail
able during several months of the year.
the dry feed and grain will not cost so
much as where the COW is confined The
COW needs pasturage, Of course. in order
to get proper exercise and maintain a
good flow Of milk. There is nothing bet
ter than Bermuda grass on which bur
clover has bHen sown to utilized for win
ter grazing. A piece of land can also
he devoted to rye and this can ben used
for late fall, winter and early spring
grazing. If you produce an abundance
Of peavine and sorghum hay. you will
have provided a satisfactory roughagS
for the winter season. Along with this
you should feed cotton seed meal. and
2 to 3 pounds of cotton seed meal, 2
pounds of bran and TO 2 pounds of corn
per day. The gram should be increased
or decreased according TO the flow Of
milk and the appetite of the COW.

Sung by w. II. Barnes.
1--WE will now in conclusion our song of
Dixie sing.
1t is a song of triumph-let the echo
ring.
At Fairfax and at Bethel, whereere
we've met this band,
Our boys have sent them bowling from
the face of Dixie's land.
"At Richmond and at Memphis, General
Scott says he will try
To be relgning with his hosts by the
fifteenth of July.
But ere that time, for Illinois both him
and Abe will run:
JEFF Davis and our gallant boys will be
in Washington.
They may send their hireling soldiers,
and sail their vandal fleet;
They'll find a foe to meet them while
a southern heart doth beat.
Well put our trust in Providence, who's
protected us thus long
The races not always to the swift, or
the battle to the strong.
Thrice is he armed for victory who
hath his quarrel just
In God and in our righteousness we
wholly put our trust,
TIL the last drop of our blood is shed
from every vein,
Ger the land of Dixie no Republican
can reign.
"Oh, then rejoice, We people! The vic
tory is ours.
Wherever we've met we have dispersed
the abolition powers,
And all of Dixie's children rejoice in
her success.
May victory perch on our flag and
peace and happiness"

curate for the purpose you have in
mind
Corn cobs contain practically no di-
gestible nutrients and very little fer
tilizing value. Cotton seed hulls con-
tain considerably more of both animal
and plant food. We do not think there
is any comparison between the feed
ing value of hulls and ground corn cobs.
We can not imagine why any one would
feed groud corn cobs as there is no
poorer food substance which could be
found on the farm and used as
roughage than corn cobs. The farmer,
of course, should make a practice of
growing his own roughage, but in case
you are short and require to buy any
thing, we would unquestionably give
preference to cotton seed hulls.

wonGEN'S RIGHTS.

woMEN'S RIGHTS.
In the earlier days of the world
especially among Oriental nations
women were not allowed to communi-
cate with the world. She was jealousy
screened from intercourse with the world
i'm which she lived. She could make no
contract. sign no legal instrument, and
enter into no obligation for her own
protection as an idividual We get a
very good idea of woman's condition in
the eastern countries, in reading the
Jewish writings of the Old Testament
We find that polygamy was authorized
and practiced by the wisest men Of the
nation, on an enormous and general
scale
Lecky, in the History of Morals
volume eleven, says that in Greece a
woman, whether as maid, wife or widow
Rad no legal existence, was never with
out a guardian. She was under per-
petual tutelage, a son even being guar
dian of his mother. She could make no
contract or any sort of a bargain, with
out consent of her tutor or guardian. She
could not appear in any court, no mat
ter when greatly wronged.
Under Roman laws women were sub
iect to the same restrictions as In
Greece. The father could sell his daugh-
ter, give her husband of his own Sc
lection and divorce her at his pleasure.
Quoting Lecky again, where Christ
in His teachings nowhere degraded
women. vet even in the early Christian
church a married woman had no legal
existence or independence apart from
her husband
The early societies of the church view
cd celebacy as the ohliest state on
earth. and Chrysistom is quoted as say
inc that woman is "a necessary evil
n natural temptation. a desirable calami-
nv a domestic peril, a deadly fascination
and n painted I'LL" The Provincial Ro-
man Catholic council at Auxeure, A. ID.
.67s forbade woman on account, as
thew said of her inherent impurity, TO
receive the bucharest in her naked hanus
and REQUIRED her to put on white linen
glove before touching it.
Not until the act of 1886 was passed
could a woman in Georgia own her own
property.
The women of Georgia owe debt of
gratitude TO Hon. Andrew J. Miller, OF
Richland county, Ga, for his noble de-
Tense of women before the legislatures
of the state. He is said to be the first
man in Georgia who raised his arm
and voice to battle for women's rights,
and Il was largely through his efforts
that the bill was carried through FOR
ownership and protection of their prop
erty.
out OF this injustice has grown the
struggle to give to women in the United
states the ballot, by which they can
select rulers and defeat this tyranny of
early days.

A CASE OF MOON BLINDNESS.


Il. c. w, Mt Vernon, Ca, writes: /
have 3 horse about eleven years old, and
about two years ago her eyes became af-
fected. They would get better and then
worse again. Now she is blind in one
eye and almost so in the other. l carried
her sometime ago TO q man who said she
had hooks, and cut something out of her
left eye. II looks better but she sees
very little out of il. I feed her corn and
fodder or hay. Do you think her eye
sight can be restored if so, would APP
preciate a remedy.
Your horse appears to be suffering
from what is known as periodic opthal-
mia or "mon blindness" the cause OF
which is not known, though it is thought
to be propduced by germs or parasites
For many years it was believed that
changes in the moon were responsible
for this trouble, but this is now known
to be a wholly erroneous conclusion.
This disease runs it's course and results
in nearly all instances in total blindness
During an attack the horse should be
kept in a darkened stall. Idodide of po'-
ash in one dram doses should be given
internally as a drnch once daily for four
or five dogs; then withhold for an equal
length of time and repeat. There is no
cure for this trouble. The removal Of
the law is generally a painful an un-
nessary operation and will not cure the
trouble.

WANT CARNEGIE MEDAL
FOR NATCHEZ CHILD

Natchez, Miss, Feb. 24.-Aaron Tyre,
the 4-year-old hero of NatcheZ, is to
have a Carnegie hero medal if citi-
zens of this town have anything to
say about it. Aaron is the little boy
who saved his two-year-old sister, Mary
Louise, from death by flames and who
made a valiant effort to rescue his
eighteen-months-o brother, Lucius,
when the barn at his home was de-
stroyed by flames
In his rescue of his sister and in his
attempt to rescue his brother Aaron,
he showed heroism that would have
won praise for one much older and
risked his own life to such an extent
that his hands were burned by the
flames which killed his brother.
A movement is already under way
here, fostered by prominent citizens,
to have the Carnegie Hero Commits
sion investigate the deed and award
him a medal and the scholarship fund
the medal carries with it. If he il
awarded q medal he will be the young

DEMONSTRATION AGENTS
REACH MANY FARMERS

Working shoulder to shoulder with
the farmers during the past year, the
farm Ganonstration agents rendered
service to Mississippi farmers in many
lines of agricultural development.
According to the annual report just
issued BY r. S. Wilson, state agent of
the cooperative farm demonstration
work of the Mississippi A. and M. Col.
lege and the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, these agents held
1.322 meetings last year, which were
attended by 104,6S0 people. They WIS.,
tied GAG schools and distributed 1858
bulletins.
In forty-two counties agents are en-
ployed. Thirty-fve agents report "a
total number of 1856 visits to demon
strators, co-operators, farmers, bust
ness men and boys and girls club
memcrs.
Demonstrators worked 12,113 acres
Of corn, which gave an average yield
of 1851 bushels, or over 20 bushels
more than the average for Mississippi
The report shows that 24,435 acres Of
winter cover crops were planted by
demonstrators. OF this amount II ,507
acres were turned under for soil i'm
provement.
In livestock improvement, 81 pure
blood stations, 80 jacks, 72 mares,
80 registered beef bulls, 2S9 registered
beef cows were brought into the state,
besides a large number of registered
dairy cattle and hogs. Since the dem
onstration work has started, the num-
Der of pure bred beef bulls has in
creased from 116 to 1925; the num-
Der of pure red cows from 81 to 6,757.
In disease eradication the report
shows that 35,479 cattle were treated
for black-leg, and 25,518 hogs were
treated for cholera, besides large
numbers of animals treated for tuber-
culOsis, distemper tick fever, anthrax
and other diseases. AS a result of the
advice of agents, lis silOs were con-
structcd, and total of 242 were built
during the year.
Farmers were induced to remove
stumps from $4,000 acres, to terrace
$1,000 acres of land, and to drain
106,695 acres.

SPEED UP cARpEN
SASS" WITH HOTBEO

BY constructing ihotbeds before
March it is possible to grow vegeta-
bles which are susceptible to frost,
such as tomatoes, and cabbage, at
least two weeks earIser than if they
are not planted until danger of frost
is past
The common dimensions of the hot
bed for the home garden is five and
a half by twelve feet. A pit of the
desired size is dug in tie ground, to a
depth of two feet. Tht; is boxed in
with ordinary pine planking, which
extends six inches abovy the top OF
, the ground on one side, and twelve
inches higher on the otlbar. The PIT
is then filled to a depth lof eighteen
inches with horse or muleN manure, to
furnish heat. The manure may be
moistened and left standing in a pile
in the open until it begins to ferment,
when it is ready to be placid in the
hothed. On top of this about six
inches OF good garden soil is placed
The bed is covered by inexpensive
window sashes.
When the hotbed is complete let it
stand covered closely for a few days
until the temperature is constant at
about so degrees Fahrenheit. The
seed may then be planted. AS the
DAYS grow warmer in the early spring,
the sashes may be gradually raised.

outside air, so that they may be
planted early without danger OF be-
ing killed
