FEEDING CATTLE FOR PROFIT
Market Requirements for Beef Are
Much Higher Than in Former
Years-Skill Needed.

The feeding of beef cattle for the
market has become a special line of
work, which requires a high grade of
skill through understanding of the
feeding values of different materials
used in the production of beef, as
well as an appreciation Of the re-
quirements of animal nutrition and
shrewd business ability. Without these
prerequisites the feeder is doomed to
receive very small returns for his Ia
Dor. The market requirements for
beef at present are much higher than
In former years. 1t is necessary, there
fore, in order to obtain prices which
will pay the feeder for his time and
outlay, to produce herd Of cattle as
nearly uniform as possible in appear
ance and quality, with high market
finish and symmetrical development,
particularly in those parts which yield
high-priced cuts in which the profits
lie for the butcher.

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it,
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

ARRANGE WALLoWS FOR HOGS
Water Must Be Supplied Not only for
:, Drinking but for Animals to
/. Cool Bodies.

Hogs in pasture where there is no
water are likely to suffer, not only for
drinking water, but for water in which
to cool their bodies. Stops are not suf-
f1cient. The hogs should have water
in their troughs and in the wallow to
cool themselves when the burning rays
of the sun makes their lives torture.
Hogs have a way of Kidding them
selves of troublesome parasites when
they have muddy wallOw. Nature,
it seems, helps them to survive as the
6ttest when there is a struggle for ex-
istence with parasites.
Hogs that must be penned should
have shade and plenty of water. 1t is
bad enough to be kept in pen without
a struggle with heat and thirst. Give
them shade and water.

Purebred Shorthorn Cattle Freed
From Ticks and Maintained in Tick
Free Area.
the most effective results in tick eradi-
cation are obtained. During March
approximately half a million cattle
splashed through the dipping watts in
the state. The April reports show
that S33,434 cattle were dipped under
federal, state and county supervision.
This is a very good record, say spe-
cialists Of the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, when it is con-
sidered that Georgia is essentially a
cottOn-growing state and that the cat
tie industry has been neglected on
account of the handicaps presented by
the presence of ticks.
Now all cattle that have been
dipped in Georgia are marked with
paint, and this plan has given very
satisfactory results in getting to the
dipping watts animals pastured on the
open range that might otherwise miss
regular dipping. The use of range
riders, whose duty it is to search for
and dip cattle that are not marked,
was considerably increased during
April.
In Georgia, as in all other southern
states where the fight against cattle
ticks has been waged, there is always
more or less opposition to the tick
eradication movement. Recently a
meeting was held in one Georgia town
for the purpose Of protesting against
the further dipping of cattle in the
county. A progressive, farmer who had
experienced unsatisfactory results in
raising cattle under tick conditions
read a notice Of this meeting Of pro
test and Immediately wrote a letter
to the president of the bank in the
town In which the meeting was held.
In this letter he said:
Noticing in the newspapers that
your people meet opposition in tick
eradication, desire to express my
actual experience on this line. Before
the discovery that the cattle tick was
the source of infection, the only cause
Of bovine fever, brought many regis
tered Jersey dairy cattle to Putnam
county, middle Georgia. Later i'm
munized the northern cattle by trans
fusing blood from cows carrying ticks
to the susceptible northern-bred cattle.
"While the treated cattle did not sub
sequently die of cattle fever the proc
ess proved harmful to the growth and
development of the animal whose life
was saved. When the history of the
deadly tick became fully known, tick
eradication justly took precedence over
any treatment. It's ease of accom-
plishment, its economy and beneficial
results that followed all emphasized
its necessity to any community that
desires to raise cattle.
an our part Of the state no man, no
matter how unreasoning and bitter his
opposition to tick eradication when we
needed his moral support, can now be
found who does not fully approve the
work. No argument should carry more
weight than the full Endorsement and
approval of opponents when they see
the whole truth, and change from OPP
position to advocacy.
Surely we who have bred cattle IN
der tick infestation, and later after
tick eradication, are entitled as mis-
sionaries TO endeaVor to benefit others
who have never been without the dis
advantage of the pest"

A NATION OF FREEMEN

We are building a nation of freemen;
We are building a race to endure;
We are blazing path for the children
A path where the footing is sure;
We have truth for its mighty founda-
ton;
Its girders are justice and right;
And the peace of the home in the twi-
light
Is the body and soul of our might.
We are building with men for the fu-
ture.
They come from all lands to our
shores:
There is never a ship on the ocean
But brings a new face to our doors.
They come with their women and chill
dren,
Frightened and pale and oppressed,
And we that are lovers of freedom
Must teach them the things that are
best.
We must take them and shape them
and mold them
Until they are one with US all;
We must teach them our tongue and
our customs
If never our flag is to fall.
We must train them to honor Old
Glory;
They must learn what it means to
be free;
They must love this great land as we
love it
For the sake of the nation to be.
Sweet laughter must ring in their
houses;
children about them must play;
They must find the contentment of
freedom,
And put all their hatred away.
We are building nation of freemen,
And out Of each alien breed
Must come an American people
That shall know the American creed
