VIM Magruder, colored man, charged
with larceny, was brought here and lodged
in Jail on Friday night by Deputy Sheriff
Thompson. He is thought to be member
Grating in the western section of the county
for several months, engaged in stealing meat,
grain, poultry, wool and other articles. Sew
eral attempts had been made to arrest Ma
gruder, but he evaded the officers and finally
made his way to Washington, where he was
finally picked up by the police of the third
precinct and handed over to Deputy Thomp
son. He appears to be a desperate charac.
ter and was brought here in irons. After
his incarceration he made threats against
the lives OF the officers and was so violent
in his actions and talk that it became neces-
sary to chain him to the floor of his cell.
He will have preliminary hearing in few
days. This is the third member OF the gang
that has been arrested and no effort will be
spared to rid the community of these bad
characters
A dispatch from Breathed vile, Washing
ton county, dated August 14th, says: "There
is much talk among Washington county
farmers of feeding their wheat to hogs and
cattle Much of the last years crop was
used in this way, and the results have been
such that the amount 80 used this year will
be vastly increased. Farmers who used their
wheat last year to fatten hogs declare that
they realized from 80 cents to 81 bushel,
besides the manure, which increases the
value Of the farm and the next years crops
Some interesting experiments have been
made, The common method Of using the
wheat is to grind it or chop it, as it is called,
and feed it to the hogs mixed with water
Some intelligent farmers say that they feed
ten bushels each to hogs from the time they
are weaned until they are eight months old.
They then ought to weigh 200 pounds,
which at present prices would fetch $40.
The value of the wheat 80 fed is less than
SIS. If the pigs are bought TO fatten instead
of raised the profit will of course be less.
The difficulty at the present time is to buy
them, as hogs are very scarce."
