'Wide Tre W'diins. One of the best w's to Pre vent the formation of ruts and to keep earth roads in repair is by the use of wide tires on all wagons carrying heavy burdens. In most foreign countries they not only use the four to six inch tires on market wagons, but on many of the four-wheel freight wagons, in addition to wide tires, the rear axles are made fourteen inches longer than the front ones, so that the hind wheels will not track and form ruts. Water and garrow tires aid one another in destroying the roads, while on the other hand wide tires are road wakers. They roll and harden the surface, and evety loaded wagon becomes in effect, a road roller. The difference be tween the action of a narrow tire and wide one is about the same as the difference between a crow bar and a tamper; the one tears up and the other packs down. By using wide tires on heavy wagons the cost of keeping roads in repair would be greatly re duced. The introduction in re cent years of wide metal tires which~ can be placed on the wheels of any narrow-tired vehicle at a nom.'nal cost has removed a very serious objection to the proposed substitution of broad tires for the narrow ones now in use.

The Remarkable Growth of Cotton Oil Industry. The cotton oil industry in the south has made remarkable strides. The Manufactur e r s' Record reports a growth of from 40 wills in 1880 to 500 mills in 1901. And the limit has not yet been reached, if indeed all the possibilities of cotton seed are comprehended.

Company ai br MEET THE HIGH PRICE OF MEAT. b How Farmers Can Make Money Out of a Cattle. The Best Food Right at Home. is What makes the price of beef so e( high? The piice of anything is high C( either because the demand outstrips the supply, or because of some combi nation of dealers to artificially raise the price. -' But whether a price is naturally or artificially high, the~ remedy is the same-greatter production on an inde- 'I pendent basis. Fortunately for con- ti sumers of beef, and fortunately for the ti southern farmer, theie is no trust or combination that can prevent a most lavish production of beef, if only the way is pointed out. The breeding of cattle on a farm, at least i: an unsystematic manner, is " natural and almost spontaneous. But H in the absence of some systenatic way sI to fo'ow up the subject, and select the j.. proper animals. and care for thein c through the winter, and finally prepare them to inake fat, tender beef, there is no proper beef production on the farm. The farmer in the cotton region Is surrounded with all the elements to make beef raising successful. The climate is such that there is natural s4 forage most of the year. It requires 01 just a little forethought to provide for the few winter months. The mate- ls Iial-cheap material-is always at hand, cotton seed meal and cotton seed hul:s. The meal and hulls are offered tc just as you want them by the Southern r Cotton Oil company, of the Carolinas r.ndJ Georgia, and may be bought at any of the local mills or from head, T riuarters at Columbia, S. C., Atlanta. Ga.. S:' .nnah, Ga., or Charlotte, N. C. Mixed in the proper proportion, ai this makes the most nutritious and ac I eptable feed that is now available. It is a feed, which by varying the propor- r( tions will answer equally well for a ;ustaining ration or for a fattening tation. It contains all the ingredients of nutrition, namely, fat, nitrogen and r-arbohydrates. The cotton seed meal fr contains fat and nitrogen and the hull I contains carbohydrates. A- good sustaining ration is made up of 24 pounds of huls and 4 pounds of mneal per day, and a good fattening iation is 20 pounds of hulls aud 5 tI pounds of meal. These proportions in sI both cases must be varied to suit i -l flividual .cases---''. -- -T" K iiion and taste of the animal. In fattening cattle, the ration should be jin with more hulls and less meal and he proportion. of meMl gradually in- " creased. A steer may b~e fattened ano at out ini good canditioni for the nu:rket y .nx 400 pounds of cotton seed meal and \l one ton ,if hulls. At average prices. the cost of this feed in the southern tates would be about $9i.00. There is great profit in fattenIng t beef for the market. even at ordinary ridcs, but at present the Industryv W hould prove unusually attractive. The - renowing estimate of the profit that an easily be nntde in this business is ei taken from a book which has been S as efully prcpared on this subject, Cotton and Cotton Oil,"' by D.
