A Variety OF Feed.

Whether the animals to be fed are
cattle, horses or sheep, a variety of
foods will give better results than will
a steady ration of one or two things,
We have seen horses fed corn and
timothy hay year in and year out, in
working time and resting time, and
know that this is the practice on
many of our American farms. Many
a farmer has reduced his system OF
grain feeding to so many ears of corn
per horse per day. Not only Is such
ration out of balance, but 1t must
become very monotonous to the ami.
mails that have to take II or nothing.
We may not be able to explain why
variety of feeds Is better for animals
than a restricted ration, but there is
every indication that such Is the fact.
We are equally unable to tell why one
or two kinds of feed fed to a human
being become Objectionable to him
after a time. Doubtless there is some
great law underlying the taste pref.
erence. Careful feeders believe they
can see far better results from feed.
ing a variety of feeds than one, and
this same idea is strengthened by the
experience of our college men In their
scientific experiments relating to the
feeding of animals. The quality of
being appetizing is one quality In
foods that we have not yet fixed the
value OF, but it is one that 1t is worth
catering to, even il we cannot 6aurs
out its processes.

 The cotton averaged extra grade ana the price paid was that at which strlcI middling was quoted.
 Mir. Crenshaw stored his cotton Tn the Peoples Warehouse here early in NoVem ber. At that time cotton was selling as 9 1-2 cents a pound. He had the business foresight to see that the staple would sen at higher figures and he instructed ms brokers to hold his cotton.
 Saturday Mir. Crenshaw came to Mont Rornery. He believed then that if he held his lot 1t would bring II cents pound. Later, however, he instructed his brokers to dispose of his holdings at lS 5-S cents if possible.
 The sale was made early yesterday and MT. Crenshaw will receive a check for a sum appr9ximating &S.000 or approximate Iy $4,50O more than he would have received for his cotton if he had sold when it first reached Montgomery

 ''I am not forgetful that this is pres dential year. I am firm in the belief that No. ? Foundry will go to about $ll per ton and remain at that figure for some time. It is not impossible for the product to seek higher level than iron will be sold at $11 per ton"

PETERSON IS IN JAIL
ACCUSED E1GBEzzLER BROUGHT
 TO MONTGOMERY.
Former Bank Clerk will Have a
 ' Hearing This Morning-Young Man is Very Much Changed.

F. W. Peterson, charged with the sm- bezzlement of A,sS5 from the, Merchants and Planters Farley National Bank, ls In the Montgomery County jail awaiting a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner John A. Fillmore this morning at 9 o'clock.
 Three warrants charging embezxleunent have been sworn out against Peterson. He is in default of temporary bond of S,000.
 Peterson, who was captured in New Or leans Saturday. reached Montgomery Sum day morning in charge of Detective ,Wii-
 Ham Murphy. He was greeted at" the train by a number of his former assoct-
 ates in the Farley Bank, who arranged
 for his meals and other comforts while
 he is in prison.
 He was taken to the Government Build
 ing. and placed under 0,00O bond oy

 Peterson at once retained counsel.
 He Is insane" said a member of the
 law firm by whom he is represented.
 Peterson, when seen yesterday afternoon
 by a reporter, said that he had no state
 ment to give to the press. He said that
 New York, Saratoga, Chicago, St. Louis
 and New Orleans, where he worked on
 race tracks.
 The young man is much emaciated. Mad
 or sane, he is not the same Fred Peter
 son who was only a few months ago
 popular young Montgomerian. His speech
 has changed, his language being the slang
 and vernacular of the race track.
 Detective Murphy says that Peterson gave him no trouble whatever. and ent- cred no objection to being brought back to Montgomery.
 Peterson left the Farley Bank in Au- gust, supposedly on g two weeks vacd- tion trip to North Carolina. Since that time his whereabouts have been unknown to the officials of the bank of which he was a collection clerk.
 On checking his accounts he was foun7 to be $4,965 short The shortage was made good by the Fidelity and Deposit Com pany of Maryland, his sureties. Since that time the whereabouts of Peterson has been the object of thor ough search by agents of the company. A sew days ago Peterson was located in New Orleans by ". W. Collins. sre- cial agent of the bonding company. Fiji day Detective Murphy reached New Or- leans Saturday Peterson was arrested. The alleged embezzler Is about 30 years old. He came to Montgomery several years ago from Selma. where he was eni- ployed in a bank. His habits are said to have been good up to a few months be- fore his downfall. A woman and cards are the causes ascribed.
 Peterson occupies the front room on She second story on the east side of the jail. Numbers of his Montgomery friends yes terday visited him in his confinement.

decided to formally declare the strike ended. great many of the strikers have been given their old places, but none of the green men have been displaced in order to take the old men back. There Is no difficulty experienced now In forwarding lumber by either of the steamship lines, and they are taking all the lumber offered them.
 In addition to the heavy shipments of lumber from this port last year, Savan- nah also broke all her previous records in foreign exports The foreign exports from Savannah for the year l9US were over $9,0O0,OOO greater than those of any previous year in the history of the port These exports went to twenty-four dif- ferent countries.

Lumber Record of Savannah.


 Savannah. Ga, Correspondence of The Tradesman
 That the holidays are over business has gotten back to normal conditions The mills have nearly all started up again, and lumber is beginning to move at lively rate. Shipments of lumber from Savannah for the year just ended, have been over 2O0.OOO.OOO feet, which is the greatest amount ever shipped from this port in a single year. These figures were obtained from MT. Norton Frierson, who has kept a record of lumber ship ments from this port for the past four teen years, and are reliable and authen- tic. The increase in shipments over last year is about 16,O0O,O00 feet. This is n remarkably fine showing, and shows that Savannah is holding her own as the leading lumber market of the South At. lantic coast.
 The outlook for the lumber business for the coming year is very bright. The demand for yellow pine continues good and while prices are not so good as they were three or four months ago, 1t ie confidently expected that when business opens up in the spring prices will take rise. At last the strike at the steamshir docks has been declared off A meeting of the organization that called the strike wao held few nights ago, and it was

The books of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Company showed that their iron had sold but a few cents under this average. while with the Tennessee Company a large differ ence was noted. The Tennessee Company sold a large order of iron to the United States Cast Iron Pipe Company at a very close figure and this did much to hold the average price down. The mln- CTS received no advance in their wage, the minimum price of 471s cents still be- ing on. However during, the month of January there is no iron selling at $9 or under. No 2 and No. Foundry being considered.
 While there has been some iron sold in this district on which delivery will be made after April l. the better amount of the iron sold so far has been for de- livery during the first quarter of the year.
 The following. is about the quotations in this district for iron right now: No. l Foundry. s1O to slO.5O No. 2 Foundry, $10; No. Foundry. s9.5O; No. Foundry, $9; Gray Forge. Ss.6O to $9; No. 1, soft, $1O to $10,50; No. 3 soft. $10.

PORTER WHO REFUSED TIP.

or three of them. He was seeing the
West, and expressed himself volubly
upon the sights as they varied with
the change of scenery 1t was a hot
afternoon and most of the men gather
ed in the smoking room-occasionally
slipping something that the cookbook

listening to the ripple of the TRAY
