LIVE STOCK RAISING.
The Pole Angus Bretd of Cattle is
Said to Be the Most Desirable.
More Money in Raising Jtock
Than in Raising Grain.
The raising of stock all over the
South is each year receiving more
attention from the farmers, as it is
being proven that it is more profita
ble than raising grain, and many
breeds of cattle have been tried
with more or less success.
For many years the Jerseys were
very popular, but of late the Here
fords and the Pole Angus are re
ceiving much attention. The lat
ter breed have proven themselves
to be well suited to the ' lands of
Midland Virginia, The fact of
their having 110 horns renders
them especially valuable, as it
makes them much more peaceable
when in pons and there is no de
horning to be done.
These cattle have been popular
in the Western States for mfmy
years, where they are much prized
for their beef qualities, their Ani.
; que color and their absence of
Hbrns. The butchers claim that,
they, dress well and that their
•arcades give a full percentage of
ahoica cuts.
15) to alrout ten years ago the
jPbl» A'njtjns were practicatly new
to ntate, but at. the present
writHig "there are many breeders
wh(j are handling them success
fully.
The herd of Mr, C, E, Jones, at
Caiysbrook farm,, in
county, Va., nurtibers about one
!rvilrp.t.U;.'-J different a«*£.
niimr lln ti if urn s7Slii(» vorv
specimens.
Mr. Jones began breeding Pole
Angus cattle about nine years ago
and hits succeeded admirably with
them, claiming that they are good
feeders, very hardy, standing our
climate well and thriving even on
thin pastures.
As* milch cows they do not head
the list,"either for milk or butter,
being as a class, only moderate
milkers, although in individual
cases they do well.
As beef cattle they hold their
own with any other of the breeds.
The average weight of three-year
old steers run from eleven hun
dred to thirteen hundred pounds.
The color of these fine cattle is a
uniform black for the thorough
breds. and in the case of
the black predominates in from
sixty to seventy per cent., a large
number of the grades being born
without horns,
For some time the breeders
throughout this State have been j
trying to settle on some particular
breed of cattle which would do I
well on the pasturage furnished j
by the ordinary Virginia farm and I
give profitable returns for t!(-!
money invested, The Short j
Horns, one of the oldest and best
known herds of beef cattle, re
quire the best pasturage to allow
them to be grown profitably, never
doing well on the feeding grounds.
The Devons, a much-thought-of j
breed by some, are yet too light j
to make first-class beef cqttle, rare, j
ly obtaining sufficient But j
in the Pole Angus, nearly every I
requirement desired is found, and j
wherever they are given a chance !
they have given satisfaction.
Since he began raising this I
breed of cattle, some nine years!
ago, Mr. Jones has sold j
of his herd to farmers far and:
near and at remunerative figures.)
having dispensed of all those sold j
for breeding purposes only, up to j
the present time. Southern To

ONLY FIVE RUNNING.
Most qf Mecklenburg's Cotton Mills
Have Shut Down.
The Charlotte Chronicle says
that out of the number of cotton
mills in the county, only five—the
Chadwiok, Hoskins, Elizabeth and
Louise, of that city, and the Cor
neilus Mills—are in at
the present T'lw wahoti why the
others are closed down can be told
in a sentence-the high price of
cotton and the poor market for
products.
The manufacturers who have
their plants closed have 110 idea
when they will resume operations
It depends altogether on the mar,

Small Expenditure Wasteful.
J. B. Duke, president of the to
bacco trust, is firmly of the opin
ion that small expenditure of
money in advertising is wasteful.
He says that in a city, for in
stance. like New York, if they
spent a thousand dollors in adver
tising Battle Ax ping, they might,
so far as profit to them is concern
ed, just as well give the money to
the j>oor. but if they spent from
ten to twenty thousand dollars,
every dollar of it comes back
promptly; that if they make dis
plays of Battle Ax plug in cigar
stores they waste their money if
they use but a few hundred stores,
while if they put the display in
every tobacco store in the city
at. say. an average cost of §lO each,
and re inforce this by thousands
of dollars' worth of posters and
newspaper advertising, they get
every dollar of the expenditure
back almost immediately. A small
company of soldiers against great
odds will be annihilated, but
sufficient force sweeps irresistiby
on to victory.—Advertising Ex
perience, Chicago.
Mr. Chas. Hutcherson, of Mead
ows, was here Saturday taking the
school census.
EMERGENCY MEDICINES
It is. a great convenience to have
ftt hand reliable remedies for use
in cases of accident and for slight
injuries and ailments. A good
liniment and one that is fast be
coming a favorite if not a honee
holcl necessity is Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. By applying it
promptly to a cut, bruise or burn
it uljays the pain and causes the
injury to heal in about one-third
the time usually required, and as
it is an antiseptic it prevents any
danger of blood poisoning. Whau
Pain Balm is kept at handaspjain
may be treated before inflamma
tion sets in. which insures a quick
recovery. For sale by all Drug
