only Through Education Com South
Become Rich IN Material Things

Ignorance Our material interests inn
peratively move us to endow and equip
our colleges and universities without de-
lay.
But our material interests are not our
highest interests. and education yields
something nobler and better than the
power to make money.
Commenting upon the calculations Of
Dean Holmes a leading paper in New
York says
Averages are not convincing, and
such a calculation omits a hundred
items which ought to enter into the
calculation. For example, what
about the minister or teacher or So
cial worker who finds in his col
lege years the inspiration which
calls him aside from the scramble
for riches, and opens to him
career of service whose worth to
the community is by no means
measured by the support he re-
ceiveS in cash?
1.-The earnings of graduates form
no standard by which to appraise
the work of the colleges. To be
sure these institutions teach how to
do things for which wages are paid,
but that. after all, is the least that
they do. The Christian college
and an unchristian college is worse
than none at all-makes its most
valuable contribution to society by
combining with its general and tech
nical instruction the inculcation of
principles which are at the founda-
tion of character No money
makers but manhood-deveoped
manhood-forms its true product
iG
valuable not only for what it enables
men to DO, but chiefly for what it en-
ables them to BE.
Educated men render services also
that are far more valuable than the in
comes which they earn for themselves.
Take for example the discovery made
by DR.. Reid. in Cuba, that yellow fever
is transmitted by a certain species of
the mosquito. Without that discovery
the Panama canal could not have been
constructed; for the ravages of fever
would have destroyed the men sent to
build it faster than their ranks could
have been refilled by other laborers.
Such was the insuperable difficulty which
made DeLesseps fail in his efforts to
build it.
With the discovery of DR.. Reid our
South Atlantic and Gulf ports have been
rid of the pestilence. and multiplied
thousands of valuable and productive
lives have been saved.
Who can estimate the immeasurable
value of that one discovery! Yet for his
labor Dr. Reid received only the meager
compensation of an army surgeon.
He was the son of minister who
put all he had into the education of
his son, and in so doing he blessed the
south more than have all the cheap poll
ticians who have lived duRing the last
hundred years.
Alas, what precious lives were lost
ished for lack of knowledge. What a
costly thing is ignorance! 1t costs more
than education.
We are most wastefu1 of our highest
and most valuable resource when we fail
to educate our sons and daughters. Will
we wait longer to stop this wild waste?

That feed problem is a determining
factor in economic production is SHOWN
by the following example. A dairy COW
fed on a ration of thirty-siX pounds OF
silage and pounds of cottonseed meal
produced a profit of $51.75 from butter
when sold at soc a pound. When fed on
a ration of Sc pounds of silage, pounds
of hav and pounds of mixed grain, the
profit at the same sale price was $3I.lo.
When fed on ration of y pounds or
silage IL pounds of hay and 10 pounds
of mixed grain, the profit fell to wa
az In other words one ration was
more than twice as profitable as an
other. This example will apply with
equal force to the economic maintenance
of horses and mules. beef and dairy
cattle. sheep and swine The feeding
of live stock may be gamble at pres
emit and if so, the cards stack them
selves against the owner every time. In
telligence and skill and the essential
knowledge on which correct nutrition is
predicated must be possessed by the
successful stockman. emphasize,
therefore the necessity of encouraging
hundreds Of boys in the south to take
the necessary courses or instruction III
our agricultural colleges that they may
become acquainted with the science and
art of animal nutrition and become ex-
perts in the handling of live stock. Un-
til this is done our progress will be OF
the more or less laundering variety and
our losses will be so frequent as to dis
courage rather than promote what In
the very nature of the situation should
always be one of our most important
and constructive industries.
The stockman must give consideration
to quality in his animals. If he is not
willing to do this he can not hope to
succeed The south is very backward
in this direction. We are securing
very small return for instance from the
dairy cows we maintain. In fact, large
per cent of them are Improbable. 1t
may not seem credible to every per-
son. but il is true nevertheless that a
COW giving 300 pounds of butter fat in
a lactation period made the same prof,
as forty-one COWS each yielding 1Sl
pounds Of butter In a lactation period.
The reason for this lies in the fact that
IL costs so much to maintain an animal
The food consumed in maintenance is
not used for productive purposes.
COW of limited assimilative capacity can
only utilize so much food. We may
feed her more than given amount but
she wastes the balance. She is not an
economical manufactures of milk and
butter We must get rid, therefore, or
the thief in the dairy herd, and we
should remember that there are thou
sandy of them. The same is true OF
our beef cattle and our sheep and
swine. We must get rid of the scrub
stock. the slow developer and the animal
which can not eat an unusually large
amount of food and assimilate and d.
gest it to advantage and manufacture
therefrom some food substance of value
10 the owner and to the human race. We
must come to understand that animals
are Just as individualistic as human
beings and we must get rid OF the low
grade stock we possess if we are to
be successful and prosperous as live
stock farmers.
