SILAGE FOR HORSES.

Why This Subject Should BE Thor
oughly Tested by a Good Breeder.
A. NJ, South Newbury, VT, asks con-
corning the value of silage for feeding
young and breeding horses.
Almost nothing is known in regard to
this subject. Originally stock growers
regarded silage made from the corn
plant as suitable only for the dairy
cow. Now we are coming to learn its
high value as a feed for young cattle.
for breeding cattle and last Of all for
the fattening steer, especially during
earlier stages Of that process. Recent
ly at this station Professor Carlyle has
been experimenting with silage as a
feed for breeding ewes. The shepherd
was prejudiced against this. material,
but the results show that corn silage is
a most excellent feed for breeding
ewes, taking the place Of roots.
Now, with the widening use Of silage
as experience and experiments are
showing, what is its place on the horse
farm? We all know that roots, espe-
cially carrots, are greatly appreciated
by horses and may be fed to all classes
OF animals III proper amounts with ad-
vantage. But the American people
very properly do not take to the grow
ing Of roots even for horses, because a
great deal of hand labor is required in
producing this crop, and wages are
high in this country. A given amount
of nutrients can be produced in the
form Of corn silage for half the cost Of
that in the form Of roots. This true, If
silage will only take the place of roots
on the horse farm we have a most val
liable adjunct to our present list Of
feeding materials. No horseman would
think Of using roots in any large guam
titles with horses in training or at hard
work, for such succulent material
tends to produce watery flesh, which
10 unsatisfactory with animals at hard
work or required to move rapidly But
even such animals relish and are bene-
flied by a limited supply of roots. 1t
would seem possible and it is worthy
Of trial to use silage even with such
animals to a very limited extent. For
young things, brood mares and idle
horses 1t would seem as though corn
silage might be used to some extent
with profit. At least this material
should be tried as a substitute for
roots in order to cheaper the cost of
maintenance. If corn silage proves a
valuable food for the dairy cow and
the breeding eve, why should it not be
satisfactory with the brood mare? If
it is satisfactory with young cattle and
with steers in the first stages of fatten-
ing, it also should be acceptable and
useful with growing and idle horses.
Upon receipt Of two cent stamp to
cover cost of mailing the Wisconsin, x-
pertinent station, Madison, will be
pleased to send bulletin on silo con-
struction to any horseman desiring it.

why IT Can't He True.
That this is fight of Imagination, a
fairy tale pure and simple. has been
proven beyond all peradventure. Bour-
quin slept at his country home the
night before the homicide. and after
breakfast Sunday morning went at
once with his old bodyguard in the d.
rection of the Dean Forest road. From
there he was traced without trouble in
the direction of the Seaboard Air Line
tracks.
He could have gone no other way
and all chance of his having been seen
on the Ogeechee road is thus preclud-
ed. The officers ask the pertinent
question If the negro lies in one mate
rial point, and insists that he is tell
ing the truth, how can be be believed
in another. That Miller is a prevari-
Gator OF an unusual type there can be
no question, but to supply a motive for
his rema 2lable and mysterious conduct
is a trife difficult.
In spite of the fact that nothing the
negro had said is now being considered
the officers have by no means aban-
doned all hope of catching the guilty
persons. They are absolutely certain
that more than one man was present
when the fatal shots were fired and
feel confident that the truth will out.
While an arrest at any moment would
not be surprising ii is extremely doubt
full if any one will ever be convicted
of the crime.
Quite number of persons were eX-
amined by Solicitor General Osborne
in his office yesterday morning in an
effort to secure further light. Each of
the five men for whom warrants were
issued has made a statement volun-
tarily, and none of the warrants were

FOR TWO SERIOUS GRIMES.
II Eyes. Alleged Murderer, Escapes
Here He Will he Tried I'm PhiIa-
AaVHAfA

ueApntu-
Should Jesup Fields. alias Eyes. the
slayer of George Powell, secure an ac-
quittal in Savannah he will have TO go
back to Philadelphia where he is want
ed for highway robbery. The negro
is alleged to have held up and robbed
the paymaster of chemical company
by which he was employed.
Chief Deputy Sheriff T ]. Sweeney
reached Savannah yesterday morning
with Eyes in custody The officer and
his prisoner left Philadelphia on the
steamship Allegheny Of the Merchants
and Miners line Friday afternoon and
had rough trip of il. A storm was
encountered and Eyes was badly
frightened. The negro declared upon
his arrival in the city that he had
never expected to see land again.
Powell's slayer claims that he feared
his life was in danger when he hurled
the fatal brick on Harrison and West
Broad streets. x He had been talking
with his pah Walter Jones, alias Toes.
and a negro, woman on St Julian
street near Montgomery, he says, when
the unknown man passed. Eyes claims
that Powell without Drovocation used
some profanity, but that nothing was
said to him. Eyes figured ii out at
the time that the woman was a friend
of the strange negro and that he was
jealous. - iH -stt.--
The alleged murderer says he walk
ed to Harrison ana West Broad streets
with Toes and that they were stand.
ing together on the corner when Powell
came up. Powell is alleged to have
said something about the two men
having been in conversation with the
woman and according to Eyes, started
in his direction. He walked away
with Toes, and at the same time pick
ed up a brick. Eyes says Powell con-
tinued to advance with his hand in his
side pocket and thinking that he was
about to use pistol or knife he threw
the brick. -
The prisoner admits. that he saw
Powell with. no weapon and that the
mans actions were what prompted him
to throw the brick. He of course had
no idea that the blow would result
fatally. Eyes left the city at once and
worked his way to Philadelphia by
degrees. He denies that he held up the
chemical compapy's paymaster and
says the trouble in Philadelphia was
Que to difference of opinion with the
paymaster. He denies absolutely that
there was a holdup and says that he
is not afraid to go back for trial. The
Philadelphia authorities are particular
ly anxious to get hold of Ewes when
the officers here have finished with him,
and If he escapes the murder change
he will have to face another in the
North.

AS COMMON CHEAT.
Scion of Prominent Kentucky Fnmi-
~ Is Held a Prisoner.

Son of a prominent and wealthy
Kentucky family, G. H. Frayser of
Greensboro. KY, is a prisoner at the
police station house on a charge of
cheating and swindling. The arrest
was made yesterday by Detective Nose
Davis on complaint of j. v. Barr of
No. % Jones street, west.
Frayser owes a board bill and 1t is
probable that there will be a second
complaint on hand when the case
against him is called by Recorder My
rick in Police Court this morning. Mr..
Barr is president and general man
ager of the Savannah Coca-Cola Bot
Ting Company, and recently cashed a
check for IS for Frayser. The check
was on the Davies County Bank and
Trust Company of Owensboro, of
which it is alleged Frayser's uncle.
T. s.. Anderson, is president.
The paper was sent on for collection
and was promptly returned to Mr..
Barr with the. information that Fray
ser has no funds in the bank. Mr.. Barr
was only recently taken in by a
stranger and determined to make an
example of FraySer. The arrest fol-
lowed, but later the Coca-Cola man re-
Tented and expressed a willingness to
withdraw the charges. 1t is not I'M
likely that matters will be adjusted
and that Frayser will secure his
freedom. He has figured out that $40
will settle up all claims against him
and he is hopeful of securing that
amount.
Frayser's mother is visiting in Lynch
burg, Va, at this time, and is reputed
to be wealthy. She had not come to
the relief of her son last night, how
ever, and he requested that a married
sister at Salem, Ala. be notified of his
arrest, and an appeal made to her for
funds with which to get out of his
trouble. The prisoner is a young man
of neat appearance and seemingly of
refined nature. He makes no denial
of the charge against him, and offers
as his only excuse that he was hard
up. Frayser came to Savannah sew
eral weeks ago, and represented him
self as a manager of the Louisville
Packing Company. He stated that he
had been sent to this city for the pur-
pose of opening a branch house of that
concern

The Oglethorpe Light Infantry win

last night a committee was named to

and second lieutenant at the earliest

was for the same reason-a demand
upon their time by their business that
renders them unable to devote them
selves to military duties. Some days
ago Capt. Barrow announced his In
tention to resign, but that of Lieut..
