been accomplished on the college farm
at Athens in the last few years in the
way OF live stock development. In this

few places in the United States where e.
record of conditions as they pertain TO
live stock was kept from the beginning.
The first thing the present management
undertook upon being placed in posses
sion Of what was then a rundown, old
cotton plantation was TO make an inven-
tory. This was done in the fall of 1907.
There were forty-two head OF live stock
at that time on the college farm worth
sl.9IT. They consisted of some work
animals. a few dairy cows OF mixed and
heterogeneous breeding and a few hogs.
This constituted the foundation stock.
From that time 10 the end of the fiscal
year IsI5-lsI6 there has been expended

sf the live stock on June /. 1916. was
conservatively placed at SlI.Slo. These
figures were carefully examined and con-
sldered By the executive committee OF
the board Of trustees who are practical
and successful farmers. They thought
them conservative. and the writer is
quite certain that the live stock now in
possession of the college farm could be
readily sold at auction for more than
the figures indicated
From these figures IL appears that the
live stock operations OF the farm within
a period of nine years amounted to $780,
ssT95 The net increased value plus
the sales above the expeditures for the
live stock purchased amounted, there
fore. to S1s.OS7-35. Surely. this is a
creditabEe showing and one which more
eIoauently demonstrates the possibilities
OF live stock farming in Georgia than

My Dear Mrs Thomas: / am now in
my new home, which consists of a farm
of seventy-nine acres located in Madi-
son county, Fla, having moved from
the city to the country since last I
wrote you. 1 will tell you all what we
are now doing. 1t may interest some
of the farmer readers to have a de-
scription of this county that I am now
living in. Land is, we think, very rea-
sonable in price. 1t ranges from SO
to SIS per acre for cleared lands. In
the woods uncleared 1t is much cheap
er. There are a lot of places for sale
or rent here and rent is 81 per acre.
That's cheap compared to 81 or IS per
acre in Georgia
We do not fertilize our corn. The
land about US is so good that we do not
need 1t. We do fertilize cotton a little
New ground, when 1T is planted, does
not require any fertilizer at all. The
kind of soil around US is black and gray
loan. Some of the land is very rich.
We live near a large river which fur
nishes a fine range for cows and hogs
This country has its failures as well
as other places. We have lots of ticks
to trouble cattle and have no dipping
watts. 1 am sorry to say many people
down here farm the old way and don't
seem to care for any advancement.
There is a demonstration agent how,
ever.
w have a free school for six months
in the year. Our climate is fine we can
truck here If we wish as there are only
about two months of cold weathr in the
year. One man here owns 100 acres of
land and there is another tract of 700
acres that 1 hear can be bought reason
able.
There is another place of 80 acres for
$1,000 and another 80 acres for $500
These are just some samples of our land
prices We have a fence law and the
cattle have such fine ranges.
Our health, is fine, no death holes in
this part of Florida
Just a little about chickens 1 have 20
hens most of them are white leghorn.
They are the best layers / have ever
tried. l now have so biddies and more
to hatch they look so healthy and 1
have only lost one that 1 have Matched.
The main thing to watch in raising
chickens in Florida is to keep down the
bowel trouble. The cool mornings are
liable to give 1T to them so have used
some poultry powders in my chicks feed.
l haven't any fancy stuff to feed my
chicks on so I use corn meal dough. so
far have head good luck. Baking soda
in the dough is good to keep the diges-
ton organs right 1 give my hens slack
lime and they are a healthy flock. /
sincerely wish we could get more farm
ers down here who are willing to help
bring this county to the front.
Yours truly,
MRS. MADISON.

two tablespoonfuls of celery seed, a
quart of vinegar, three-fourths cup of
sugar. Soak the pepper twenty-four
hours in brine made of one cupful of
salt to a gallon of water. Freshen in
clear water one or two hours. Drain
well. Remove seeds and coarse white
sections. Chop and measure cabbage,
onion and pepper separately, then mix,
add spices, sugar and vinegar and let
stand over night in a closely covered
enameled or porcelain vessel. What you
do not use in the mangoes is fine pack
ed in small sterilized jars. Chow-chow
pickle: Chop fine with a knife or a
coarse food chopper one-fourth of
peck each green tomatoes and small
onions, three cauliflowers or small
heads Of cabbage, three cucumbers, six
large, red peppers and one-fourth on a
peck of string beans. Make a brine
of one pound of salt in five pints of
water and let the vesv ;.Jies soak in
it all night. Next morning put the
vessel on the stove and bring the brine
and vegetables to a boil, let 1t boil five
minutes.
In a separate vessel bring one gallon
of cider vinegar to a boil With luke
warm water make a paste of one-fourth
of a pound of mustard, one-fourth of
an ounce tumeric, one cupful Of brown
sugar, two level tablespoonfuls of flour.
Put this paste and half an ounce of
celery seed in the vinegar and boil
until IL thickens. Take up the vege-
tables, drain off the brine and place in
a saucepan and pour the hot vinegar
over them. Mix we'll. put in jars and
seal while hot. This chow-chow should
be as thick as cream, if much brine
is left 1t will be too thin. If it
should seem thin add more flour.
Tomato mince meat: Slice up a guam
tity of green tomatoes and sprinkle
we'll with salt. Put in a bag and let
drip all night. In the morning do not
wash, but take equal weight of sugar
and tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes
are thoroughly done. To seven pounds
of this sweetened tomatoes add three
lbs. seedlesS raisins with mace and
cinnamon to suit taste. Cook a short
time before adding the seasoning. Put
in jars and you have delicious ma
terial for pies.
Drying corn is easier than canning
it, Take tender roasting ears, cut from
the cob with a sharp knife, spread
thinly on smooth boards or dishes and
put in the sun. In cooking soak for
an hour or two in cold water.
Okra: Steam till two-thirds done,
split in quarters the thick pods and
dry as you do the corn.

You do not state your elevation and
ii IS difficult to advise you whether you
can grow navy beans with success in
your section or not. Such investiga-
tions as have been made indicate that
this crop does best at an elevation Of
1000 feet and upward above sea level
One having a situation approximating
this altitude could, therefore, undertake
to cultivate these beans with consid-
cradle assurance of securing large
enough yields per acre to make the crop
profitable. These beans are grown to
some extent in north Georgia and other
sections of the Piedmont plateau where
the elevation is satisfactory, and II
would seem that the cultivation of this
crop could be considerably extended
throughout the region in question with
advantage. Its cultivation is a COM
paratively new undertaking, hence it is
a little soon to say yet what can be
done There is certainly a great de-
mand for beans of this character for
humand food and every acre of land
which can be planted to them with adj
vantage should be seeded this year
There is no reason why the south
should not supply all its needs in this
particular, as we have much land suit
able for the cultivation of this crop.
Beans and other legumes will respond
to the use of lime and lands intended
for this crop should be treated with raw
ground rock at the rate Of one ton per
acre scattered over the ground and har-
rowed i'm. We would advise that they
be fortified, under existing conditions,
with at least 800 pounds of acid phos-
phate. If you can secure wood ashes
they should be scattered over the land
and narrowed in some days after the
lime has been put on and a few days
previous to planting the crop. CONNER
cial potash will cost you about soc
pound. 1t is very high priced to use,
therefore, and we are somewhat doubt
full as to your securing an adequate re-
turn from the quantity you would have
TO apply per acre to benefit your crop.
A legume of this character should not
need to be supplied with nitrogen. On
rather thin soils, however, the use of l
per cent of this material is sometimes
advisable.
