RAISING STOCK. litti'gc Arous in South Unsurpassed For This Industry. The growing disparity between th * jyi'Ply of and demand for meats and dairy products in the South is wor thy of the most serious considera tion by .those, who are Interested in i&At section and its future w611-be Thg. Local production meets a mere fraction of the local nfed. The ne cessity, therefore, forces consumers to pay high prices for meats import ed from Northern States, and the tnoney? to the extent of millions an nually, instead of being expeuded In the State, goes to make more pie thortc the wealth of distant sec Hons. - It is often a matter of comment not alone among the near and act ive friends of the South, but among observing people of the North who have been through the Southern sec i Uon, that while its resources are ' incalculable, its opportunities in husbandry, in* animal Industry, is , greater by far than in any othe^ re gion, there has not been an awak ening in every part of the South to! tho sumptuary problem which is yearly growing more momentous. ' The wonder is tliat farmers who are dally treading under theii- feet the rich and Juicy herbage which suggests fat flocks and herds, plod ding over luxuriant meadows, are not putting them to better use than ihere haymaking. Convert the farcn-j into part stock and part planting, { and there is a dual result achieved j -?the stock raised supplies meat j and dairy products, and the soil is j enriched by manures, in nature's! own inimitable and perfect way, I without cost, giving continuous and heavier crops of grain, vegetables, I * - t- Z2Z&K. ?

Be cause the cost of raising beef, mut ton, or pork, jjnd the cost of main taining the dairy, is Incredibly low; due to^the wonderful fructification of soils, elemental plant-feeding, op en climate permitting rotation of crops and an ..almost continuous growing season and rendering ex pensive shelter and expensive grain feeding unneccessary. There have been Mrn&s when stock was dying-on the plains coated with ice, that stock in the South was browsing contentedly on the sun. - warriied slopes of the Piedmont, in the ver dant valleys, on perennial grasses, and fattening on legumes and on byJ products, yielded on the land they kept rich in humus with not a dol lar of expenditure. In the Southeastern States, along the routes of the Southern Railway and its allied lines, there are areas not surpassed anywhere in the xountry in the diversity of hay and, forage crops in their abundant yields, in their cost of production. Alfalfa, Bermuda, vetch, -cloveft, cowpeas, oats, cottonseed meal, corn stover, sugar cane, sorghum cane, crab, Johnson and other stock food products are unfailing and profusely distributed, reducing the cost of ?feeding to a minimum. In some sections of the country there liav.e been conditions during a 'long winter under which stock could neither fatten nor survive, and sea sons when, from drought or other cause*, the granary and the silo were empty and the meadow bare. No such conditions can <ocour in the Southeast. It, is not a one-crop country, but a land of many crops and capable of producing in one J&hX, In every year, two, three, and sometime* four crops, lh proper ro tation. The -water courses afford natural irrigation for the plants and feupplies for the stock, and are nu merous and generously distributed. "!
