GOOD MARKET FOR STOCK.
South Carolina Has Great Possibilities
Within Its Grasp for Such
Business.
Washington, April 27.?AVith the
wonderful development of agriculture
throughout the South which is now
in progress, the question of getting
the animals needed for working the
farms and hauling the produce either
to market or to the shipping points,
is of almost as much importance as
the labor problem. In fact they run
hand in hand, and' one without the
other is of no use. The South now
has all I lie animals needed, but from
the following extract from a report
of the department of agriculture it
will he seen that we are paying high
prices for animals and also feed for
th.'in. both of which we could raise in
the S.Milii ami vet a higher grade of
hot !i:
"It certainly -.ccrns anomalous to
contemplate a vasj section of our
country spending millions annually
I or hordes ami mules, lor beet' and
pork, aim' for commercial fertilizers,
ami s<' 11 i11hundreds of millions of
dollars' worth of fertility as cotton
seed meal ami cake, when we realize
that the condition of soil and climate
generally throughout the South are
c.\e'llent for animal production. This
condition is si ill moiv surprising
wli ii we know thai, properly fed, colIon
seed meal i- probably the most
valuable proleinbraring feed the
country produces and thai its ferli-l
li/.ing value after having gone through !
an animals' body is almost as great as
it- teed value. It is al.-o more than
I?a--iuu -l range that a southern farmer
will buy hay shipped from the
\\e-i ;li from to per ton when
hi- own land will often yield more
hay per acre than the land wleu'e thI
western hay was produced and of as
good a quality."
According to figures of the bureau
o| > | a I isl ics o I tin1 de.pa rt men I of
agriculture, there were S.'{,OlM> horses
in Soiitli Carolina on .lanuary I, l!M)7.
I'he>e horses had a tolal farm valuation
of $10. ld7.lSJ, an average of
$I'J(? a head. ()n the same dale there
were l.'M.OOO mules in the Stale with
a total farm value of .^JO.oOS,I'JI ami
an average of $ 1a head.
(leorge M. liommel, of the bureau
of animal industry, has studied the
situation in South Carolina, and by
iiis calculations, the average life of a
horse in South Carolina from I ho
time lie i> mature may be estimated
at eight'years and that of a mule at
len years. The slock of horses and
mules must lie replaced oiice ill eight
or ten years, respectively; or, to express
it different Iy, 10.00(1 horses ami
lo.OOO mules must be raiseil or
brought into the State annually.
I here are three reasons why
Smith Carolina farmers shouhr raise
their own horses ami mules," says
Mr. Uoiiimcl. "The lirsl is to keep
wit hiu the Slate the great sum which
is paid annually for stock shipped in
from the North and West. It is estimated
that probably about two thousand
of the horses and one thousand
of the mules used annually are raised
in the Stale. Kstiinaling the cost of
the lior-.es delivered to the South Carolina
farmer at +IL'") each and the
mules at $l7.~i each, the amount of
money sent out of the Slate annually
is $1.000,000 lor horses and I,!)!?."),000
for mules $."{.(100,000 in round
numbers, which could be retained in
the Stale to god advantage.
"The second reason is thai by producing
its own horses and mules the
South lias slock already adapted to
its use. No time is lost in getting an
animal to do his best under Southern
conditions. Furthermore, they would
be produced at cost, without having
to include in the expense bill a profit
to another producer or middleman.
Not only thai, but, after a horse or
mule is two years old he will earn his
way. and a moderate amount of work
is good for him. In this way the animal
has been raised to live years of
age at a minimum cost.''
Mr. Kominel also points oul in detail
the great importance of knowing
all about the breeding of an animal.
The third reason why I he South
Carolina farmers should breed horses
and mules i> that the Slate nas ex- j
eel len I possibilities for stork raising,
and that when the supply is increased
beyond Hie local needs I lie demands of
outside markets can be filled.
"The greatest horse raising Stale
in the country is Iowa and live greatest
horse market for the number handled
is Chicago. However, it is estimated
that at least half of these horses are
sent from Chicago lo other points,
some for final sale, others for further
fitting for market. The highest
class of horses will generally be found
in the cast, in New York and Boston,
and the highest, prices for good horses
are to be. had in these cities. Dos
Moines, Iowa, and Columbia, S. C.,
are quite near the geographical centers
of their respective States. Co
Ilumbia is over 400 miles nearer New
York nnd Boston than is Des Moines.
Columbia is just that much nearer the
country's best horse market, and
there are three large cities and great
ports 011 the Atlantic seaboard between
Columbia and Now York, all of
them on a direct lino from Columbia.
"So far as the markets are concerned,
tho South Carolina farmer has
as ?ood advantages as tho Iowa farmer.
These advantages arc not developed,
it is true, but the conditions
are full of latent possibilities.
If good horses are bred in the
South the buyers will soon find it out
and there need be no fear that good
prices will not be obtained for good
products. W. W. Price.
A Famous Poem.
liungdnn Smith , the well-known
war correspondent., and all-round
newspaper man, died in Xew York
recent ly.
j Mr. Smith was remarkably versalib'.
even for ;i metropolitan journalist,
j,;n' always did vigorous and acceptable
and often some very exceli
lent. work.
The following poem,, entitled " Involution,"
has been quoted and publish,m1
all over the Knglish-speaking
lands:
When you were a Tadpole and I was
a Fish,
In the Palcoxonic lime,
A ml siile by side nil lire ebbing tide
We sprawled through the ooze and
slime, '
Or skittered with many a caudal flip
Throuu'li the depths of the Cambrian
fen,
M'v heart was life with th 1 joy of life,
l**i?r I loveil you, even then.
Mindless we lived and mindless we
loved.
And mindless at last we died;
And deep in a rift of the Caradoc '
r ^11' ^
W e slunibcrede side by side.
The world turned on in the lathe of
I ime,
The hot lands heaved amain,
Till we caught our breath from the
womb of death.
Ami' vcrept into light again.
We were Amphibians, scaled and tailed,
And drab as a dead man's hand;
We coiled at ease 'neath the dripping ;
I rtes,
Or trailed through the mud and
sand,
CroaU'ii*; .ind blind, wiih i ur tliree(daweti
feet
Writing a language dumb,
With never a spark in the empty
dark
To hint at a life to come.
Ye! happy we lived, and happy we
loved,"
I And happy we died once more;
Our forms were rolled in the clinging
mold
Of a Xeocoinian shore.
The eons came, and the eons fled.
And the sleep (hat wrapped us fast
Was riven away in a newer day,
And the night of death was past.
Then light and swift throuj^h the
junc trees
We swung in our airy flights,
Or breathed in the blams of the fronded
palms,
In the hush of the moonless nights.
And oil! what beautiful years were
I licse.
When our hearts (dung each to each,
When life was tilled, and our senses
In the tirst faint dawn of speech.
I Thus life by life, and love by love,
We passed through the cycles <
si range.
And breath by breath, and death by
I death,
We followed the chain of change.
Till there came a time in the law of
1 i f e
When over the nursing sod
The shadows broke, and the soul
awoke
In a strange, dim dream of Clod.
I was thcwed like an Auroch bull,
And tusked like the great. Cave
I'ear;
And yor.. my sweet, from head to feet, ,
Were gowned in your glorious hair.
Deep in the gloom of a fireless cave,
When the night fell o'er tho river
bed.
We mumbled the bones of the slain.
I flaked a flint to a cutting edge,
And shaped it with brutish craft;
I broke a shank from the woodland
bank,
And fitted it, head and haft.
Then t hid mo close to the reedy tarn,
Where tho mammoth came lo drink
Through brawn and bone T dravc the
stone,
And slew him upon tho brink.
Loud 1 howled through the moonlit
wastes,
Loud answers our kith and kin;
From west and cast to (ho rirnso
feast
llio clan camo trooping1 in.
O'er joint and gristle and padded hoc
AVe tought and clawed and tore,
