Good Demand Always Exists for Meat and That Breed That WIN Bring Most Money is Best Animal to Produce Start of Flock. (By G. H. ALFORD.) The Introduction of sheep Into North America was made the same year the oldest , town in the cotton growing state was founded. The Span iards brought from Spain a small flock of Merinos and turned them loose In Florida, and to this day, 'way down In the piney-woods, along the gulf coast, the man who knows sheep can find now and then certain indi viduals resembling the early importa tion brought here, that they might af ford food to the gold-hunting adven turers. By 1840 the little flock brought' over in 1565 had grown to 10,500,040; ten years later the number was Increased by more than 3,000,000. In I860, there were 22,500,000. In 1870 a marked in crease, was noted. Uncle Sam's flock in that year numbering.? 0,853;000 head; in 1880 there were more than 100,000 less than in 1870, but in 1890 there were nearly 44,500,000. In 1900 another drop was noted, "there being nearly 3,000,000 less than 1890, but in 1907 the flock aggregated 53,240,282 head. " In the cotton growing states one eighteenth of this grand total can be found, i. e., 3,595.703 head distributed as follows: Georgia has 250,000; Alabama, 180, 729; North Carolina, 223,965; South Carolina, 60,034; Florida, 105,534; Louisiana, 189,142; Tennessee, 344. 954; Mississippi, 183,280; Oklahoma, 80,362; Arkansas, 295,740, and the Lone Star state, 1,665,963. The wool industry of the world amounts to $500,000,000, a consider able portion of this annual clip being produced in South America, in which country there are 143,873,234 sheep, leading all countries in this industry by vast figures indeed. North America, the United States and Canada have 60,211,864 head; Russia, 58,889,454; the United Kingdom, 29.210.0S5, and Austria, 13,974.428 head. Our exportation of mutton is but a small item, but the demand for the same by our people taxes the producers beyond their present to furnish mut ton in ample and regular order. The price prevailing for mutton in all the markets is much greater than asked for beef or pork. Indeed, the price for good mutton is such that in a general way only the better classes of people can afford it The international trade in wool, raw and manufactured, aggregates goodly sums, reaching something like one and three-quarter billion pounds of raw wool as exports, and a million pounds more as imports in a single year. To the farmer and planter this Prize Winning SUPERIOR BREED. OF TURKEY Particularly Adapted to Warm Climate Distinguishing Points Are Beauty and Size. The American bronze turkey Is doubtless a child of the North Ameri can and the claim is made that it is the result of a crossing this wild vari ety with the black turkey. The distin guishing points are the beautiful Mammoth Bronze. bronze plumage and large size of birds. Individual specimens often ex ceed the standard weights, which are, adult cock, 36 pounds; adult hen, 20 pounds; yearling cock, 83 pounds; pullet, 16 pounds; cockerel, 25 pounds. In . severe climates and 'thickly set tled regions the Mammoth bronze Is liable to prove unsatisfactory unless Investment is made In suitable shel ters and fences. In some of the tests of this variety In northern localities, the long months of deep . snow : and consequent confinement have seriously affected the' vigor and health of the breeding stock, the females have de clined to nest near the house and it has been found almost Impassible ' to track them to their .stolen nests In. the woods,, where their" young fall a prey "to foxes, skunks and other wild ener odes.

From a paper we cite the profits made from a small fioftc. This account says: "The account of - the profits made from a flock of sheep on a- little farm in New Zealand may, be of Interest to flock owners in this country. From, a flock of 203 half-bred ewes, 268 lambs were produced last year. The iambs iWe.bynlish'Lelcester and Down rams. The iwhole of the lambs were reared and soidTat an average of $4.02 per head. :;Thewool came to 407.06. and' the returns from the 203 ewea was thug about $7.35 per head. This is just another proof that a flock of sheep will pay on the farm. Those starting a new flock of sheep or about to improve the flock now run ning in the pasture, should, if the best results are tor be obtained, be students, thus knowing the . "whys" and the "wherefores" of the moves made. Choosing a new breed or selecting a sire fecause of certain blood lines Is not sufficient. It must be borne in mind Se all times that pedigreed stock sometimes present woeful imperfec tions. The form, conformation of the animal, must.be thoroughly well con sidered and must meet the require ments of the stock raiser. In discussing sheep in the south, and from a farmer's standpoint, it is best to pay strict attention to te mutton end of the industry, of course, not overlooking the wool clip, but the great primary object is to produce meat, for which a good demand al ways exists. -foney is the great ob ject and that type which will bring to the owner the most ready cash is the best type, the best breed to produce. Men of means and devoted to the upbuilding of individual breeds have demonstrated the best in their espe cial type of sheep; therefore, the man in the cotton belt is fortu: rte in be ing able to take advantaL- of the work, experimentation and rcalt of fancier and advanced breeders and make his selection of foundation stock or sire to head his present flock, with the full knowledge that the results will be along certain well defined lines and with proper cre and feed there will be no disappointment. The type to be aimed at should be the one that will make the producer the most money.

MORE SOUTHERN FARM NEEDS Seven Ways to Increase Profits Were Emphasized by the Late Dr. v Seaman A. Knapp. Sevens ways to increase profits on southern farms .were emphasized by the late Dr. Seaman A.

The deadest thing on earth is faith without works, and the most futile thing is work' without faith. A pipe-wrech, blacksmith's ham mer, and a small assortment of bolts and nuts should go into the field with the machine. Some of those who took part In the Mexican "opera bouffe" war are as dead as though they had engaged in the real thing. Emerson says: "If a man can write a better book, preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a path to his door." An exchange says, very correctly, that the middle men are the toll gates on the commercial road over which the products of the farm must pass to the consumer. They obstruct the traffic and absorb the profits. To some members of the Farmers union cooperation' appears to mean that their judgment should be taken as the correct thing by other mem bers in and out of season. Right or wrong, they seem to think that they are the only true and tried know-it-alls. SPiNNERS WAR ON EXCHANGE Relations Between. Manufacturers' As sociation and New York Institu tion Disrupted. The American Cotton' Manufactur ers' association has declared war on the New York cotton exchange, and the relations between speculator and spinner, which have beer, strained g"or several years, are completcy disrupt ed. If other means fail it is proposed to invoke congress to compel the ex change to conduct its operations on a basis less favorable to the wiles of the big manipulators, who have dom inated prices and the distribution of the staple with an eye colely to their own advantage. President Marsh of the exchange admits that its affairs are conducted in the interest of cotton merchants rather than manufacturers or any other class engaged in the business, says the Washington Post. The association has no quarrel with the New Orleans cotton exchange, un der the rules of which the worst prac tices tolerated in New York are pro hibited, but the operations on the lat ter exchange are so much greater than on the first named that the unfortu nate effects are practically universal ly "feu. Persistent price misquotation Is the phincipal source of complaint, and as this trick of the ticker crowd works out to the loss of the manufac turer in making big purchases, the point against the exchange, would seem to be well taken. He suffers from the juggling of prices, whether they be . abnormally high or corre cpondly low. - Art of Caponizing. I The art of caponizing is not not real ly difficult to master. But: despite this, it is not learned as generally as one might ' suppose. It has become the custom in many of the principal poultry-producing sections ' for the larger buyers to employ expert opera tors who go from farm to farm with out compensation, and only with the understanding, that their employer is to have the opportunity of purchasing the fowls at maturity, provided he will pay as much as can be obtained from any other dealer.'

There is such a thing as statesman ship in private life. The leader of the farmer, in op out of organization, must train up to that sort of statesman ship, the first requisite of which is the submerging of selfish ambitions for the general welfare. You leaders among the farmers, have you kept this faith? Has your every effort and energy been directed toward bettering the condition of the farmer or yourself? Would you make for the farmer the sacrifices you have made for yourselves? If you have not, and would not, it is unlikely you will ever be able to give the brand of service that will be truly effectual and that will write your name in his tory. Are you in the order for glory and selfish advancement, or to so strength en it by your devotion and abilities that it will further the interests of the farming masses of this country?

CHAS. S. BARRETT. Union City, Ga. TO CO-OPERATE IN BUYING Farmers Begin to Realize Importance of Studying Every Field and Mix ing Fertilizer. A number of progressive farmers have made up a combined order for commercial fertilizers unmixed in the form of nitrate of soda, muriate of potash and acid phosphate. The first order of this kind was sent last year and everyone realizes that they can save money by ordering in this way. They also are beginning to realize the Importance of studying every field and mixing the fertilizer for that par ticular field and crop, which can be done by mixing at home. Some have had great results by using nitrate of eoda on the meadows early in the spring when the grass Is just starting, and we have learned that we must use more potash to stiffen the straw so that oats will not lodge so badly. When one has these chemicals sepa rately he can run experiments of his own and learn a great deal about, the needs and requirements of the soil In order to get the largest crop yields. Learning of Mistaks. It requires a year's experience to know where the mistakes are .made, and if one can learn how to avoid them, one-half of the difficulty will have been overcome. The greatest mistake is In undertaking the business with too many hens. The proper mod is to commence with - a small: flock," fteed from these until the desired num ber has been secured. A breeder who had but little experience when he be gan procured several hundred hens, but nearly two-thirds of v them died with disease. He regards the disease as the most fortunate thing that hap pened, as he found out how; to avoid mistakes that he had made, and the result is that he has since made Ms flocks pay him welL ' :i ', . ; To Preserve Wild Turkeys.
