RAISE OUR OWN BEEF
_
THAT IS WHAT THE SOUTH
OUGHT TO ALWAYS DO
Not Only That But We Could
Raise a Little Surplus For
Northern Markets
Very Easily.
The following from the Atlanta
Constitution contains much good
sense in regard to cattle raising
in the South and is as applicable
to Arkansas as any state in the
Union.
Taking occasion by the prevail
ing high price of beef tlie Phil
adelphia Press remarks that "the
south has deprived itself of a
large source of revenue by failing
to introduce the breeding of cat
tle, and names several good
seasons wii) wiai inuusii> um'jug
us should not be lost sight of.
The Constitution inis always
urged the same policy upon the
people of the south and only re
cently pointed out how millions
of acres of pasture and grazing
lands in our South Atlantic states
could oe so employed with enor
mous profit. In southwest Vir
ginia today some of the finest eal
I lie m the world are raised and
I shipped through Norfolk to
Europe to supply a select trade
that never quibbles about juices.
Here in Georgia careful breeding
and care in raising will produce
i beef cattle that will take blue
libbou in any food market of
! civilization. Our climate gives
us advantages over I be western
I ranges tint, added to the shoit
hauls and low transportation
| costs, should give us larger re
turns upon the average run of
<atlle for Lome and foreign coti
j sumption than the western raised
, can command.
It has been shown that Georgia,
foi instance, only raises about 12
per cent of the beet that her peo
ple annually' consume and even
less percentage of other meats.
As the Philadelphia Press points
out, our civilization is changing
with the increase of our factories
and foundries, and the consequent
increase of a meat-eating popula
tion. We will use mme meats as
these lion-rural employmenti in
crease and we must either pro
duce it or buy it of the western
raiser at prices fixed by him, or
by the trust that may have him in
its grip
| Besides, the general raising of
cattle in the south will make it a
store house of supply to keep
competition active between the
south and the west in that line of
products and it will give country
employment to many thousands
I of negroes who are now steadily
drifting from the fields to the
purlieus of our cities.
We are thoroughly convinced
that wo should have a great revival
of ea.tie, sheep and tiog raising m
the hills and plains of the great
south.

Nine great big, hungry wolves
I were killed by a hunting party
i > Garland countv last week.
The wolves had been destroying

farmers organized the hunt with
the hope of driving them out of \
the countiy. First a few sheep
were killed, then hogs were
found victims to tl.eir prey, and
later a two-year old heifer was
found dead in the woods, every
indication pointing to its having
been killed by wolves. The par-1
ty only remained out one night,!
and the killing of twelve is con
sidered a very fortunate night’s
job for the hunters.

“Dad.”
An exchange says : There is a

are commonly called Dad. It is
dad that humps himself year in

or work-shop in order that his
boy or girl may go away to school
and upon their return that the
hoy may liavea horse and a top
buggy and 1 lie girl a costly piano.
It is dad that hustles and culti
vates great calloused knots on his
hands and becomes stoop should
ered in order that his offspring
may revel in luxuiyand make tar
nal fools of themselves. His
sons and daughters have learned
at his expense to dispise Ins old
fashioned ways. They secretly
laugh at the style of iiis Sunday

THE COTTON PICKER
WILL BE ROBBED OF MIS JOB
BY RICKING nACHINE.
Pennsylvania Man Has Perfected a
Machine That Will Pick
Five Bales of Cotton
per 1 )ay.
Atlanta, (in , May f*.—Thomas
it. Mnnis, treasurer of the
American Cotton Picker Com
pany. of Pittsburg, Pa., passed
through Atlanta yesterday on his
way north, after having complet
ed arrangements for putting the
cotton pickers, now being manu
factured by the company, into
practical operation during the
coming season.
The cotton picker manufattu
ted by tins company is the same
that was on exhibition m Atlanta
during the exposition of 18K5,
though it has since been perfect
ed. and it is said will now do tho
work required of it. The inven
tor Angus Cambell, has spent
sixteen years perfecting tho
machine and it was onlv last year
that it was brought to such a
state, of perfection that it could
be put to practical use.
T'io first of these new cotton
pickers to I>e brought south will
be put in practical operation at
Greenville, Miss. Contracts have
been made tor working several of
them there. The company does
not sell or lease them, I rut makes
a contract with the cotton planter
by which he is to furnish four
mules for each picker and a farm
liany to operate it, the company
paving 50 cents per day each far
the mules, and the value of the
farm hand’s labor. Then the
planters pay the company 40
cents per hundred pounds for
picking the cotton,
WHAT MR. MORRIS SAYS,
“Wo have made contracts tor
the working of live of these mach-<
ines in the neighborhood of
'Greenville, Miss,” Mr. Morris
said yesterday, “and will have
them on hand ready to do the
work as soon as the crop id
ready,
“The machine will not pick all
of the cotton Gut we give a guai'
anteo that it w ill pick 00 per cent
without any injury to the plant.
Each machine will pick live hales
a day. We w ill not sell or lease
the machines, but they will he
