41 Bales of Cotton
With Only One Mule
Read in our Farmers' Year Book or Almanac for
1910 how a planter in Terrell County, Georgia,
made 41 bales of cotton with only one plow, a
record breaking yield, and he had a nine weeks'
drought the worst in years. His gross income was
$2,098.47 for this crop. You can do it too

fields, a sight which is enough to
make a farmer's blood run cold when
he ponders over the future prosperi
ty of his bright-faced boys and girls.
I believe one of these days when a
movement sets about in earnest to
reclaim our exhausted cotton farms,
and we get better educated in all
h'nes of ' live stock production in j
the South, and our law makers abate ;
seme of their jealous love for cur
dogs, we ..will find sheep one of our
I best nepers.
1 I commenced four years ago in Feb
1 ruary.witfo twelve ewes and one ram
of common sheep. They cost me just
SI 7.25, and a year liater I bought 27
more for $54. Theso were very com
mon sheep, and I selected eleven of
the best ewes and sld the rest for
cost at once. The eleven I kept cost
S22. At this time F exchanged rams
and got a grade Shropshire, used him
two years and bought a pure bred
Shropshire for $10. In the four years
I have sold wcol to the amount of
Eomunt of $364.95, used some 15 or 2
lambs for mutton in our own family
not counted and now have 25 good
yuong ewes bred to a pure bred
Shropshire ram. This bunch, of ewes
is easily worth $100; in fact, I wouVi
nit take that" fo- them. This will
make my gross income $683.25. and
the lambs consumed will easily put
the figures to $700.
The investment from firtt to last
is only $49.25. i am safe in saying
the $218.30 received for wool and the
manure will, pay all cost of keeping
this flock, and'leave $364.95 and the
25 head of ewes as a net profit for
the four years. This will figure a
little over 235 per cent gain.
The manure has been no small
item. I have penned them in a sum
mer on acre lots, and these lots are
rich enough now to make one and
half bales f cotton, or 200 bushels of
the Lookout Mountain Irish potato
es. In winter, I pen them in a large
open shed, well bedded wsth leaves
or rough hay, and they make manure
faster than any. other stock. I give
tage and is a very 'good change for
them.
I have never been troubled with
dog killing my sheep, and I hope
no other man in the South is more
lavora-bly blessed with prowling dogs
than I am. I can count 67 dogs in a
radius of one mile, and they are all
of the most popular and up-to-date
breeding "negro dogs."
We are trying to get enough
farmers interested in ' raising sheep
here to have a car load of June
lamhs. TJu.s.1 think. will be the best
way to market our lambs.
In Conclusion wilJI say that most
uy land owner can keep 25 to 50
bead of native ewes at a net profit
of $100 to $200 per year. I have
been raising feme good horses and
males, good cattle, and have a herd
cf as popular bred Poland China
hogs as you can find south of the
Ohio river, but never have realized
such profits from any of them as I
do frosn thds amll flock of sheep.

GAME OLD BUCKS.
Two Monaoenarian Russian Gay
Beans Fail out Over Woman and
Have Duel BothStiU Furious.
Special cable to The Washington Pos
Two ancient fire eaters, both on
the verge of the grave, have fought
a duel at Nikolsk Ussicrski, and al
though both were wounded, their
bloodtMrstiness is net yet sated.
Irlnce Suta'off, 91 years old, and
Wjarjanin, 93 years old, a member of
a nshle family, were the combatants.
They are owners of adjoining es
tates and had been good friends for
half a century.
irately they were in the habit of
meeting daily at the residence of
Mme. Dejansky, an attractive widow
of 40 years, and this proved the un
do'n? cf therr friendship.
Prince Suhaloff, the other- day
called Wjarjanin an empty-headed
coxcomb, and declared he ought to
know better than to flirt with a
young woman when he had one le? ar
the grave. Wjarjanin retorted that
he was young enough to avenge an in
suit, and a duel was arranged. It
was arranged at first that they
shoujl fight with swords they used
as officers in the Russo-Turkish war,
but thase were found to be tco heavy
for their strength, so pistols were
chosen.
Prince Suhaloff's right thumb was
shot, away on the first tile. He
transferred the pistol to his left
hand and Ifcdged a bullet in his oppo
nent's shoulder. Then the seconds
stopped the duel and had the irasci
b nonagenarians taken heme and
put to bed, where they are recover
ing. Each insists that his honor is not
satisfied, and tihey will fight again.
