few years is very remarkable and has

Industries i'm the United states either
establishing or purchasing plants in the
southeast, for they clearly recognize
the progress which has been made and
are fully convinced of the economy with
which pork can be made in this section
and the unlimited possibilities which lie
before our farmers for producing an
ever-increasing number of hogs with
advantage and profit.
Another factor which has eXerted a
wonderfully beneficial influence on pork
production in Georgia has been the lib
eral use of preventive serum for the
control of the disease known as cholera.
At one time the herds of the state were
decimated. Now, when an outbreak of
this disease occurs and an application
s made to the county agent, he imme-
diately obtains supply of serum
through the office of the state veteri-
marian and instructs the farmer how to
use it. AS a result, thousands of out
breaks of the disease have been stopped
in the initial stages, and so in the ag-
gregate the loss of thousands of hogs
prevented. The Legislature of the state
exercised great discernment and per-
formed most important public service
when several years ago it required the
state college of Agriculture to manu-
facture this serum at actual cost and
provided for it's distribution directly
through the office of the state veteri-
marian. This has resulted in the farmers
of Georgia obtaining a very satisfactory
grade of serum at a reasonable cost.
and so has enabled them TO combat sue
cessfully a disease which previous to
the institution Of the serum treatment
had wrought great destruction and dis
couraged the breeding of hogs.
In conclusion, it is needless to point
out that the state must have slaughter
ed last year somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 100000 head of swine, and it
is not overstating the case to say that
these animals should have been worth
to the farmers alone between $40. 900, 600
and S50,000,000. The phenomenal in
crease in our agricultural and live stock
wealth in the last few years is, there
fore, attributable in considerable meas
ure TO the progress we have made in
swine production, and every agency
which has been concerned in the attain
ment of this end is to be congratulated
on the part it has played in it's accom-
plishment.

made to improve the character of our

Lameness may be due to variety OF
causes. Hence, it is very difficult to
diagnose the exact cause of trouble Of
this character. From what you say
however, it appears that your pony is
most likely suffering from an attack Of
what is known as '1aminitis." This is
inflammation of the sensitive lamina6
or plates of the foot. 1t occurs in the
front feet and when it becomes wei
established is practically incurable. This
trouble is generally met with in horses
that are good travellers and is more
commonly met with in light rather than
heavy horses. The trouble comes on
gradually and often without apparent
cause. When the case is we'll developed
the horse points the affected foot out
when standing. There is not much in
fiammation, though the horse in most
instances does not bend the joint a;
much as usual and hence there is
tendency to di gthe toe down into the
ground. There is often decided lame
ness which does not disappear to any
extent ydriving, and may get worse.

giving plenty of rest. When a case be-

Many combinations 70 cottonseed
meal and other forms of roughage may
be made to produce satisfactory ra-
tions for the cattle and work stock kept
on the average farm. The amount of
grain to feed will vary with the charac-
ter of roughness available. Naturally
the larger the amount of cottonseed
meal and the fewer other concentrates
combined within, the less sostly will be
the concentrated part of the ration. On
that account several mixtures have been
suggested.
A good combination for horses and
mules is 500 pounds of shelled or ground
corn with 100 pounds of cottonseed
meal. Fifteen pounds of this mixture
should be fed with twelve pounds of le-
gume hay or fifteen pounds of mixed
hay. Where some oats are available
good mixture may be prepared by using
500 pounds of corn and cob meal, 100
pounds of cottonseed meal and 80
pounds of oats. Fifteen pounds of
this mixture will be about the right
amount to feed to 1000 pound horse
and mule doing relatively hard work.
When standing idle the ration should
be reduced. Feed the amount of rough
age indicated above.
A more elaborate combination consists
of a mixture of 800 pounds of corn or
corn and cob meal, $50 pounds of oats,
100 pounds of cotton seed meal and 100
pounds of brand. This mixture would
be better adapted for horses and mules
which are not in the best physical con-
dition or which have been suffering from
Indigestion Feed at the rate of about
fifteen pounds per day.
When feeding beef cattle cottonseed
meal and hulls may be combined in the
proportion of one to five. If bulls are
not used as the roughage feed as much
of shredded corn slower or mixed hay
as the animals will eat up clean. For
dairy COWS feed one pound of cotton
seed meal to about four pounds of hulls.
Where it is desired to make mixture
for dairy cattle, equal amounts of cot
tonseed meal and corn or corn and cob
meal be used For beef cattle II is not
essential that any corn meal be fed eN-
cept towards the end of the feeding
pjeriod when one-third of the ration may
consist of corn or corn and cob meal.
II is not necessary to feed the corn
more than thirty to sixty days.

Guess ABOUT This

SOME PLACES IN 1T
EASILY IDENTIFIED

There is an exhibition in a Market

Wilmington from the Southeast" which
is attracting much attention. All who
are interested in the history Of the city
are asked 10 take a look at the artists

questions which arise from the view.
What is the date? That Is the FIRST

easily distinguished, but two other
structures have not, so far, been iden-
tifled. One OF them Is apparently In
tho nelghborhood OF Tenth and Mar
ket but is not like any structure thai
has existed IN that vicinity for the last

the artist may have seen an outline OF
the Old Academy, such as Is shown on

which is also undated but is probably

to have been built about 1865 and was
! torn down in 1882, which latter fact the
artist may not have known, and In
cluded In the view as a needed object
