Average

$5,246,320


1t appears that 1900 horses with an
leverage value of $3.50. 41,S00 cattle with
an average value of s25, $3.50 sheep
with an average value of So, and 211, $40
swine with an average value of $12 died
of disease or exposure during the year.
The losses in the aggregate amounted to
269,2SO animals, which will no doubt be
great surprise to many people, and
when we consider that a great part of
this loss can be avoided, the wasted en-
ergy which it represents becomes truly
appalling. Moreover, there is undoubt-
eddy lost to the state S5,246,320 worth
of valuable food. 1t is said that we
import into the state approximately
$40, 600, 900 worth of meat. BY taking
better care of the animals we have, we
could undoubtedly save 100000 or
SO, 900, 900 in this direction alone. The
time is rapidly coming when the cost
of living will be such that 1t will be-
come necessary to give greater atten-
tion to the care and management of the
live stock we possess and not let hun
dreds of partially or full-grown animals
die from lack Of proper food or medical
attention. The losses in the direction
indicated are so great that it should con-
vince the most Indifferent citizen of the
necessity of quickly providing some
means whereby the youth of Georgia
may be more adequately and thoroughly
trained in veterinary science so that
capable and efficient veterinarians may
be at the convenient call Of the live
stock farmer no matter in what part of
the state he is located. AT present many
farmers are fifty to seventy-five miles
from a veterinarian, and IL they find a
competent man he probably could not
come, or if he did, he would of necessity
have to charge so much as to render his
services after all of doubtful value from
an economic point of view. Georgia
needs an educated class of animal doc
tors just as much as she needs medical
practitioners to take care of her ctti-
Zens, and the figures presented are the
best evidence that no investment the
state can make will repay a larger divi-
dend than that of establishing training
courses which will enable a desirable
percentage of the youth of Georgia to
become competent and efficient veteri-
nary practitioners.

mitigate the condition portrayed Is

CANDLE MAKING WHEN WAS
YOUNG.

The incest parlor candles, like loaf
sugar" were brought from northern
markets and sold to country merchants,
who went to Augusta to buy goods; and
these candles were made of sperm tai
low, if l may use the word talloW IN
this connection. We called them sperm
candles" The everyday candle that
was in constant use was made or COM
mon tallow, with little bees wax to
harden it, if the tallow came from rich
lbeeves that the farmers slaughtered for
hides and talow as well as beef. My
mother had several pairs of candle
molds. Some had four single molds.
others had double rows, six OF eight
fastened together. The wtcks were
spun from cotton rolls, and soft. These
wicks were composed of several strands,
and slightly twisted as they were drawn
down taut through the molds. 1t was a
nice arrangement and had to be care
fully done, or the wicks would not be
straight in the middle of the candle
molds when finished.
The tallow was we'll heated, the wax
we'll melted, then the mold was set up
Alright in a pan or skillet, and the melt
ed mixture slowly poured into the
molds from an iron ladle. The filled
molds were set to cool until the talloW
was real hard before the candles were
extracted from the molds. 1t was neat
and careful work. My mother filled
various wooden boxes with the candles,
and the boxes were set in a cool place
for safe keeping.
We had nothing but these candles for
the supper table or for bedroom use, un-
less there was company, and then trans
parent sperm candles were brought
forth. And If the common candles were
set in a draft, they melted rapidly. We
used such candles until after the war
had nothing else to use in the house for
lighting purposes. Many were required
in the plantation homes.
There were NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. stout
wick was curled on a tin plate and the
middle end pulled up straight from the
center, like a snakes head. Over the
curled wick a mixture of rosin, tallow
and beeswax was poured until 1t was
saturated. The snakes head was light
ed, and, as it was slowly consumed. the
wick was continually pried up until the
whole was burned out. There were also
"talIow dips" where the tallow was
poured on wicks time and again until
the dip" was large enough for use.
Kerosene came to our relief in the
late cos, then gas, and later electricity.

LIVE STOCK LOSSES IN GEORGIA.

According to the federal bureau Of
crop estimates for the year ending April
Is, 1916, the farmers of the state Of
Georgia suffered very considerable
losses from the death of large numbers
Of their farm animals. considerable
percentage of this loss was undoubtedly
preventable, as ii was due to disease
and exposure, and even If the disease
could not be controlled, certainly 1t is
feasible proposition to provide such
shelter for farm animals as Is neces-
sary to prevent their death by exposure.
Naturally, everyone who has studied the
methods of feeding and handling prac-
ticed on the average farm, and the quack
medicines and nostrums which are often
employed to combat diseases, real or
imaginary, realizes that a large per cent
Of the sickness from which ONT animals
suffer is preventable. and certainly
durable. Under existing conditions. in
a great majority of instances when ami
mails become sick they are neglected or
so handled that their death is FASTENED
rather than prevented. In order that
the losses of live stock might be better
appreciated and the necessity of educa-
ton along this line more generally rec
ognized a summary Of what happened In

The lumpy milk about which you

some infection of the udder or by bac-

your COW is confined in a close stable

other cows might injure the udder by
stepping on It. This trouble is also
sometimes due to irregular milking or
to the fact that the udder is not strip

which is most likely to be the cause

In treating a caked or congested I'D
