RUNTS CAUSED BY NEGLECT
AND IMPROPER FEEDING
X
My experience in stock raising has
been, some runts appear at birth
they are not .near so numerous as the
runts caused by neglect and improper
feeding and housing. I want to
emphasize the fact that many animals
that are under sized are small at
birth often grow and develop into
useful an<^ profitable animals if a
little special attention is given them
soon after birth. This is especially
true with pigs. Unless the small pig
of the litter is thus provided for when
quite young, very often it is not worth
feeding to maturity. If the proper
\kind or amounts ofx feeds are not
given when very young, if required to
compete with stronger or older animals
for what they do get, born runts
\ are those that are under sized will
^ become more pronounced runts as
they grow older. In this respect they
^ resemble closely animals that are normal
when young but later become
runty from a like of such proper food
and care which usually occurs about
weaning time. After animals become
runty or their growth retarded, undoubtedly
it will take more feed to
overcome this condition and grow
them out When pigs become runty,
they are never normal. I have estimated
it requires at Jeast twenty-five
per eent more feed to put them in
marketable condition than it does
normal hogs. Ninety per cent of
runts among cattle are caused by improper
feeding and care. If the stock
raisers of this country were educated
in the proper feeding and care of
livestock until they reach normal
growth, the runts in livestock in the
County would be almost eliminated.
This statement not only further em-,
phaslzes the fact that it does not,
broadly speaking, take more feed to
prevent runt animals but does require
considerably more feed to develop
them once they become runty.
Also that it rarely is advisable to feed
out a pronounced runt. The only
practical thing to do, therefore, is to
prevent runting by providing the
necessary feed, care, and management
at the most critical periods of
their growth and development. These
periods with most animals are when
very young and at weaning time. Be
sure and keep only the number of
animals on the farm that you are
aDie xo xeea ana care ror as they
should be cared for. We often wonder
why the livestock business has
proven unprofitable in the South. It
is because the farms are overstocked,
and the animals underfed. Increase
the number of animals on the farm,
as you increase the production of
feed. Feed first, then more livestock
and better care, then and not until
then will the livestock business prove
profitable in the south.

L/M A
naval bill finds
opposition t1dk
Washington, May 10.?Tin* $">00.000,000
naval appropriation bill was
unable today to make headway
against the tide of opposition from
advocates of the Korah proposal for
disarmament conference and reduction
in appropriations. Lengthy addresses
bv Senator Pomerene, Democrat,
Ohio, and La Follette. Republican,
Wisconsin, prevented any amendment
from being reached and when
adjournment was taken the latter had
not completed his argument. It was
expected, however, that disposition of
his amendments probably would be
begun late tomorrow.
Both Senators Pomerene and La
Follette declared great expenditures
were unnecessary and, in view of the!
condition of the treasury and the
country, inexpedient. Senator Pomerene
supported the Borah amendment
and also advocated one of his own to
clothe the president with authority
to suspend capital ship construction j
for six months.
Senator La Follette declared that j
the navy building program was a !
"waste of the people's money." The I
capital ships would become obsolete j
in five years, he addend, adding that
with development of aircraft, submarines
and seacoast defenses, the
United States would be impregnable
from attack by any power or combination
' of powers.*
? Sertator Pomerene said rejection ofj
the Borate ani&Qdment "would practically
close the door of hope of the
world for~ disarmament."
: The demands for reduction of armament
finally caused Senator Poindexter,
Republican, in charge of the
bill, to state that no information had
been submitted to show any extravagance
in the proposed naval purchases.
Senator Pomerene replied that
when "officers with gold lace whispered
'yea,' members of the naval
committee had hysteria and voted for
large appropriations."
Senator Borah interjected that military
expenditures were holding up
projects like soldier relief, Western
reclamation and other developments.
In his criticism of the bill. Senator
La Follette raid that "great financial
interests" desired a powerful navy, to
protect their interests.
The Wisconsin senator scored those
who, he said, had voted to curtail
hospital appropriations for former
service men.
THE RECKLESS SPENDING
xOF THE PUBLIC MONEY
"This nation cannot continue to
spend at this shocking rate," says
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon,
pointing out that the annual expenditure
of the government during the
fiscal year 1922, including interest,
"will be over $4,000,000,000." Of
this sum, $1,100,000,000 will be spent
for the army and the navy. This is
more than the total annual cost of
the government before the war. Who
is responsible for that enormous outday
for military purposes, by a fpeaceful
nation only two years after the
close of a gigantic conflict that made
the whole world sick of war? Have
we done anything to forfeit the
friendship of other nations, to make
us suspicious of them or they of us?
Have we in any way failed to draw
nearer to the other nations upon a
basis of firm friendship and understanding
that would have put war
out of the question and left us free to
remit in the people's taxes a great
part of this billion we are spending
for war? Beyond all question it is
shocking, it is monstrous, that we are
to spend this great sum in preparing
to kill off our fellow-men.
Not only is the government's total j
yearly bill of $4,000,000,000 shock-;
ing but the method by which it at-1
tempts to raise the money to meet
that charge is likewise shocking. Sec
retary Mellon retells the old, ^old |
story how the yield of the excess prof-1
its taxes is dwindling, how the surtaxes
yield less and less because of j
investments in non-taxables, how this
whole scheme of taxation based on
expert advice throttles business, prevents
the sale and transfer of property
and drives capital into non-taxable
investments where it doesn't reproduce
itself. All this is shocking evidence
of the unwisdom of trusting
to book experts rather than to the
advice of experienced business men.
The Reason
"There is a fellow out of the dentist's
chair who has his nerve with
him."
"Did ho stnnrl tho onerntion so
well?"
"He wouldn't let the dentist take
the nerve out."

that your bad spot is not in evidence?
Customer?By no means. I am

WXOrXCKS 12-MILL TAX LKYV !
The tax levy for 1921, as determined
by Walter Duncan, comptroller
general, and announced yesterday,
is 11 1-2 mills. To this is added the
one-half mill for Citadel, provided in
'the Acts of 1920, making a total levy
for state purposes of 12 mills.
This is the same "as the levy for
1920. 4
In determining the levy for the
current year the comptroller general
has found it necessary to fix this at
the maximum provided in the appropriation
bill, and gives the following
figures as the basis of his calculation:
Total amount appropriated for
1921, $6,534,925.82.
v
> Less revenue from' sources other
than taxes. 1921 (estimated). $!.'035,000.00.
Amount to be raised by taxation,
$5,499,925.82.
Total taxable property, 1920, $448,222,786.00.
Estimated increase over 1920. $30.000,000.00.
Total taxable property. 1921. $478.222,786.00.
Levy of 11 1 -2 mills. |
Total, $5,499,562.03.
As will be seen by these figures,
even the maximum levy will fall short
^ oy a lew aonars <>i producing tne
j total amount from other sources and
increase in taxable property for the
present year will be as large as the
comptroller general ha? estimated.

IS MEMORY OF MY DEAR WIFE,
DECILE. AND LITTLE SON,
MARK FLOYD SHEALY.
Dear Mr. Editor:?Please allow me
a litlte space in your paper of grace,
on this dark and rainy day, a change
to express in solemn words, my sincere
and sympathetic expressions that
give me joy and comfort over the loss
of my dear wife and little babe, who
took their flight from earth to
heaven about twenty-seven days
apart.
And J. in my weak and feeble state
of mind have tried to place th?sc
words of comfort and joy in verses
ol' this kind:
j
Farewell, dear, but not forever.
There will be a glorious dawn:
We shall meet to part?no never!
On the resurrection morn.
Tho' thy darling form lies sleeping.
In the cold and silent tomb.
Thou shalt have a glorious waking
When the blessed Lord doth come.
"A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we. loved is stilled;
A place is vacant in our home.
Which never can he filled.
God in His wisdom has recalled,
The boon his love had given,
And though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in Heaven."
Weep not .that her toils are over.
Weep not that her race is run,
God grant we may rest as calmly,
When our work, like hers, is done.
'Till then we yield with gladness,
My wife to Him to keep,
And rejoice m sweet, assurance,
"He give.th' His loved one sleep."
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number.
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Vet again we hope to mee her
When the day of life is tied,
And in Heaven with joy to greet her.
Where no farewell tears are shed.
We miss you from our home, dear
Lucile,
We miss you lroni thy place,
A shadow o'er our lips is cast,
We miss the sunshine of your face.
We miss your kind and willing hand.
Your fond and earnest care,
our home is dark without you
We miss you everywhere.
We weep for you, no tenderer wife.
E'er made man's fireside bright,
Xo more devoted mother love
E'er kept home altar fires alight.
[ And she is with the angel host
| With sinless heart and stainelss
hand,
i i
Waiting to meet the friends to come.
To that bright and happy land.
'Tis hard to break the tender cord
When love has bound the heart,
'Tis hard, so hard, to speak the words:
"We must forever part".
Dearest loved one we have laid you
tin the peaceful grave embrace,
Biit thy memory will be cherished
,vTil we see your heavenly face.
Boys, you have lost your darling
mother.
She has bid us all adieu.
She has gone to live in Heaven.
And her form is lost to view.
Oh, that dear one, how we loved her!
Oh, how hard to give her up!
But an angel came down for her
And removed her from our flock.
We had a litle treasure once,
He was our joy and pride,
We loved him, oh perhaps too well.
For son he slept and died.
All is dark within our dwelling,
Lonely are our hearts today.
For the ones we loved so dearly,
Have forever passed away.

Reft us, yes, for overmore;
Put we hope to. meet him with
"Mama",
On that bright ami happy shore.
