Cattle Feeding in England.-It is said
that the English breeders carefully note
at what age the steer shows the great
est gain, and for the largest profit feeds
accordingly. In test calf was
weaned at IL days old and fed skinned
milk and linseed meal, and later on
chopped roots, bran and hay with cut
grass in summer. He was weighed
every three months and it was found
that when two years old he gave
profit, but after that he lost, which is
quite in accordance with our experience
in this country, that steers are most
, profitably fed up to Is to "a months if
fed literally from the start. The Scotch
breeders understand that, and besides
having we'll bred steers they never al
low them to lose their calls flesh.
They are great feeders, and keep the
calves growing and fat by the best
feeding. They never allow them to lose
the cream or bloom so much priced
by the butchers which invariably shows
il the animal has been stunted or
starved at any time in its growth.
This bloom of the calf flesh can never
be regained If once lost, SO the butchers
say.-Ex.
Housing Hens.-It will not do to
keep a lot of hens in a dark or I'M

The county health officer, DIR. Gillespy,

Georgia Girl Enticed Into House of Ill
Fame, Breaks Away From 1t.
At 4 O'Clock yesterday morning, accord
ing to the girls story. a fairly we'll
dressed young girl alighted from the train
in company with a large, feshy woman
whose only known name Is Miss Willie.

and were soon lost to view in the crowd
around the passenger station.
At l o'clock this morning. the same
girl sadly changed in dress and with
flushed face, ran hurriedly into the ladies'
waiting room at the depot. Close in pur-
suit came officer Armstrong, and the
girl was taken to task for her strange
behavior. She seemed to be about Is
years old, and was of good features. Her
curly hair was cut rather short and
tattered red wrapper enclosed her FORM
Her story obtained after some difficulty
was as follows:
Her home is in Tallapoosa, Ga, where,
Sunday night, she had attended church.
There she met the unknown f1eshy Wo-
man. who enticed her to come to this city.
The girl, who had been drinking as she
said her first bottle of beer. could not
remember the location of the house into
which she was taken. She knew 1t 10
be a house of ill-fame, and that the land
lady went by the name of Miss Willie
She claimed that her hair had been cut
on account of a late spell of fever.
AT the time of going to press of1cers
Armstrong and Oldham had the girl IN
charge. and were looking for the house
from which she had escaped. She said
her name was Jessie Davis, and that she
did not voluntarily enter upon life or

were unfounded. 1t was true, there had

had been small. During the firing, he

IN DEFENSE OF THE PUBLIC IL
BRARY.
Editor State Herald:

Editor State Herald:
l learn that the people of our city are
being solicited in behalf of new enter
prise called a public library. Looking
over the list of citizens who have sub
scribed their names toward its support, l
notice many who are not subscribers OF
the public library that is already estab-
lished in our city.
The question so naturally arises If they
value the educational advantages OF
public library why have they Withheld
their support from the High school IL
brary? For it is certainly not supported
and patronized as it should be. Again,
what is the promise of thousand DOCKS,
which the new enterprise offers-and it's
more than probable thousand books Sc
lected at random-in comparison With the
many thousands which our established
public library contains? Books when
were selected with the greatest expendi-
ture of time and judgment on behalf or
our school Superintendent, Prof. ]. II.
Phillips.
Why should person promise to pay a
new and uncertain business enterprise
$3.50 year for three years, when FOR ~
a year he can become member OF TINS
library? A library so rich in reference
books on all subjects; all standard works
the newest and best in literature or the
day and several hundred dollars worth OF
magazines. all, in fact, that are worthy
of a place on its ia Bile, not to speak or the
bound volumes of magazines for years
and years in the past, which are we'll
nigh invaluable.
4 membership fee of 50 is cheaper than
that asked in any of the libraries in larg-
er cities.
Our public library but needs the appre-
ciative support of the people of Birming-
ham and if we have public spirited citi-
zens among us let them come forward
and take out so many memberships that
its estirnable promoters, Prof Phillips,
will be enabled to carry out his desire
which is to enlarge the library and move
ii to a more central and commooious
building where we shall all enjoy II to the
utmost and learn to appreciate its edu-
cational value even IL we do not yet do
so. -
The Clionians to their credit be it said,
will give musical at Fox's hail on Feb.
18th at 2:3o p. m. for the benefit of the
library-our own we'll established and
thoroughly equipped library. Let us
manifest a public spirited sentiment by
making it grand financial success, and
buy tickets whether we can attend or
