Senator Walter E. Edge, of New Jer-
sey, and his bride, formerly Miss
Camilla Sewall, daughter of Harold
M. Sewall, of this city. left late to-
day for Canada on their honey

known here tonight, provided for a
few days in Quebec before they sail
from New York next Saturday for
England. Their stay in Europe, it
was said, would be over the Christ

tour would depend on the course of
events at Washington.

which was performed by the rector,

The Future of Beef and Dairy
Cattle Raising in the South
M C. P, Canisteo, N. Y,
writes: I would appreciate all
the information you can give
me concerning the possibilities
Of the cattle and dairy industry
in Georgia.
The livestock Industry in the
south has not been developed on a
basis commensurate with it's needs
or it's possibilities. This has been
mainly due to two facts: First, the
general and extensive cultivation of
cotton. Second, the presence of the
cattle tick The cotton farmer was
naturally afraid of grass as the one
main enemy with which he had to
contend previous to the advent of
the boil weevil. Hence, no effort
was made to improve and develop
our pastures in spite of the
| fact that many grasses and clovers
can be grown with considerable sue
cess in this section of the coun-
try. With the advent of the boil
Weevil, there has been a disposition
to turn away from cotton and diver
sify on a relatively large scale. We
| are producing in Georgia now about
$500 worth of non-cotton values to
each dollars worth of cotton values.
A few years ago it became evil
dent that the cattle tick could be
eradicated, and the work has
progressed so far in this state that
it will be free of ticks very, very
| shortly. Hence, all strains and
breeds Of cattle needed for the de.
velopment of the native stock may
now be brought into Georgia with
impunity. Under the existing cir
cumstances it is easy to see that
great possibilities and opportunities
| lie ahead in this section of the
south. The character of our live
stock has improved materially in
the last few years. In fact, note
worthy development has been made
along this line. Progress will be
continually evidenced in this field
for many years to come.
| Within a year and a half. fifteen
creameries and cheese factories have
been established in this state, and
would not be surprised to see
thirty at the end Of another year
When we consider that the boil
weevil ate up forty to fifty million
dollars worth of property last year
it is not difficult to see that the
farmer must Of necessity turn to a
more diversified type of production.
| The farmers Of Georgia are hasten
| ing to do this. with the result that
our live stock holdings are increas-
ing rapidly in both numbers and
quality. The greatest development
probably has been first of all in con-
nection with swine. Then probably
would come the poultry industry.
Next, the dairy industry, and last
the beef cattle or grazing industry.
1t is natural that this course of de-
velopment should have pertained.
We have in Georgia at the present
time about 100000 head of cattle.
One-haf to two-thirds of them are
classed as beef cattle. The balance
as dairy cattle.
This state is importing at the
present time large amounts of poul-
try and eggs and even butter, cream,
milk and cheese. We are also buy.
ing a good deal of the meat which
we consume. These practices are
designed to be changed within the
next decade, and there was never a
more favorable time for investment
and development along the line Of
dairy and beef cattle production.

A Pig-Headed Friend

Pig medicines is without use
And for it there is TO EXCUSE >!
Old Metiler Nature.
You know what it is to be pig
headed. Everybody knows that. II
is to go right ahead doing what you
please and refusing to listen to rea-
son when others want you to do
something else, or to do the thing
you are doing in another way.
Prickly Porky is pig-headed. He al
ways has been. Probably he always
will be. He seems to delight in doing
just the opposite thing from what
others want him to do. He began
that way when he first started out
in the great world. There are
many people just like him.
Now Paddy the Beaver and Prick
ly Porky never had quarreled. There
! had never been occasion for them to
quarrel. They were the best OF
briends. Prickly Perky had come
down to the shore Of Paddy's old
pond many times. Never had he in
| terfered with Paddy in any way.
Perhaps that was because there had
never been any way in which he
J could.
So when he made his first visit to
Paddy's new pond Paddy was glad
| to see him. 1t was a pleasure to
have a visitor who did not mean
mischief and of whom he was not
afraid. Paddy went right on about
his work, for you know he was ex-
tremely busy and in a great hurry
to get his food pile completed before
the coming Of ice.
| Prickly Porky shuffled along the
edge of the pond and presently come
! to one end Of the new dam. At once
| he climbed up on it. You know
Prickly Porky is never more at homo
tina nWhen climbing. He examined
the dam with great interest. Now
and then he gnawed a bit of bark
from a stick in the dam. When he
came to the place where Paddy and
Mrs. Paddy dragged their food logs
over the dam into the Laughing
Brook on the other side he sat down.
There was a freshly cut aspen
branch lying on the dam right at
that point, and he took a notion to
sample the bark.
He had hardly begun when Paddy
arrived from the other end of the
pond with a food log he was taking
down to the old pond. Paddy reach
cd the Gam ana Inere stopped. lou
see Prickly Porky was right in his
way. At first Paddy said nothing.
He politely waited, thinking that
Prickly Porl1y would move on.
But Prickly Perky did nothing Of
the kind. He rather liked the taste
of that bark and he went right on
eating. with not so much as a glance
at Paddy. Paddy became impatient.
Ie was in hurry. "If you will
move aside, Prickly Porky, I'll be
very much Obliged" said Paddy po-

A Pleasant Breeze From Washing
ton State

Away back in the early roc I was
acquainted with a fine family living
Cherokee, Ga. There was a splen-
did father, one of the best citizens
we had. There was a fine lot OF
boys, worthy of their fathers good
name. 1 was much younger than
at present, and we occasionally met
in political campaigns of that early
era.
Time rolled on. The older ones
died. and we had deaths also, but the
friendship never failed with surVlV'
ors.
A few weeks ago, there came a
letter to ME from Washington state,
and tbs writer's name brought up
sweet recollections of the long ago.
He is the last of the large and happy
family that knew forty-eight years,
come and gone. In his home paper
appeared the following clipping:
I've read the news of the sporting
man
Of the baseball games, and it makes
me glad,
That youth still lives in the grown
up ones.
Ana L go on from page " page
And it seems to be there is nothing
else
Ever to be glad about.
Then a tale looks up at me,
Of a governor who eXalts a woman
Of eight-seven. in her ripe old age,
A godly woman, in her sweet old
age,
Who has minstered through long
long life
To those she loved.
He gives to her the greatest gift
He has to give, a senate seat
In Washington-and my heart
grows warm.
1 sit and dream and my heart grows
warm

"You are sitting right where
haul my logs over" explained Paddy.
IF you will move just a little
won't bother you any more"
II don't want to move" grunted
Prickly Perky.
But you are stopping my work, "
said Paddy. Mrs. Paddy and have
lot of logs we must get down into
our food pile tonight, and this is
the only place where We can get
them over the dam without a great
deal of unnecessary work"
Pricllly Porky simply turned his
back to Paddy and went right on eat
ing as if that was the only thing OF
Importance in all the Great World
When he turned his back that way
Paddy looked right up at the thou
sand little spears peeping out from
Prickly Porky's coat, and they gave
him IL most uncomfortable feeling.
He began, to grow very angry, and
he said some sharp things. He
