quiry stated in casual street tAlks that
| had no objection to discussing our
| telephone situation with Hume or with
anybody else. 1t is far cry from
such an Indifferent statement to Latta
and his assumption of eagerness on my
part to chase Hume down.
Hume states that failed to keep an
engagement to meet him in Nashville.
In the first place l had no en-
gagement to meet him in Nashville
In the second place supposing that
did, it does not appear that | valued
it S possibilities. This engagement +"
to meet Hume is another perversion by
Latta of a chance meeting on the
streets He stated that if | would
send out Representative" to con
fer with me.
| declined to allow representa-
tive" to confer" with me, but l
stated to Latta that if Hume had any
plan formulated, that sometime when
| was in Nashville | would meet Hume
and if his plan or proposal appeared to
me to be- for the best interests of our
people that would submit it to them.
l had however so poor an opinion of
Hume, and so little expectation of
improving local telephone conditions
through any plan that Hume might
devise, that tho | have often been in
Nashville since Hume's pilgrimage to
my office | have not yet done myself
the discredit to call upon him.
Again: Mr.. Latta says that Mr..
Hume desired him, Latta, to be
present at the interview. Why was
this? Was it that they might play
the game of two pluck one?
If Hume had desired witness to
what was said at that interview, why
did he not bring an impartial and dis
interested gentleman, instead of one
of his own employees? Did Hume thus
deliberately set trap for me?
If Mr.. Latta desires to retain the
high character which he bestows upon
himself, he would do well to be mole
cal eful in future how he visits the
Offices of gentlemen in company with
Leland Hume.
With this communication. the con-
troversy is at an END so far as | am
Very truly yours,

Light Feeds for Hoqs.

Light foods have a particular value
for the hogs, possibly for the reason
that most hogs get too concentrated
ration, The chemist in figuring out
the relative value Of roots. fruits and
grains, invariably shows that the
grains contain large proportions Of
nutrients and that fruit and roots
contain very little. But the roots and
fruits have qualities that we have
never yet been able to determine and
are certainly worth far more than
the chemist has been able to discover
There is an action on the general
health and thrift Of the animal that
cannot be computed by weight. Roots
and fruits tend to prevent both con.
stipation and Indigestion, and are In
that quality medicine for the hegs.
The time Of the year is here when
great quantities Of wind.fall apples
will be ordinarily left on the ground
to rot. These should be gathered up
and fed to the pigs as soon as the ap.
pies get large enough to be succulent.
Many Of the wormy apples and culls
can later be disposed of In the same
way. Sugar beets are particularly
valuable, as they contain a large
amount Of saccharlne matter, which
helps in the fattenlng. Turnlps also
will prove Of more value TO the hogs
than their analysis would seem to
indicate.

cabbaqes for Sheen.

There may be objections to feeding
cabhages to milch cows on account Of
tainting the milk, but there is no such
objections with feeding them to sheep.
Cabbages can be easily grown, espe.
cially where the soil is a heavy but
rich clay. In the discussion OF this
subject we have heard sheep men say
that they could get more money out
Of their cabbages feeding them TO
sheep than In any other way. OF
course that was in localities where
markets were not easy to reach.
Where the farmer lives near a rail-
road and can send his cabbages to
Chicago and other big markets at lit.
tie cost that way of dlsposing of them
will be more profitable than in feed.
ing them to the sheep. But 1t must
be remembered that where the sheep
interests are largest there are few
railroads. A large tonnage of cab
bages can be grown per acre, and
many Of our shepherds are finding this
profitable use to make of the
ground. The cabbage has this
advantage over most of our
other green feeds that II can
be kept for months and even into the
dead of winter IL It is properly stored
This is quite an advantage over even
rape. The Canadian farmers are TAX
Ing advantage Of this to lay In an
nually good supplies Of cabbages to
feed to their sheep during winter, thus
keeping their sheep in perfect condi
ton as to their digestive organs. Cab
bages can be grown In almost all
parts Of the country, and they grow
best in the cooler sections, where they
are most needed for winter food
Their value cannot be figured out
from the tables the chemists give us
for their succulence is valuable
thing in itself, but this has no value
In the analysis Of the chemist.

by tens OF thousands on the old hens
and chicks. They suck their fill of
blood and crawl back to their hiding
places. In the morning the poultry
raiser sees nothing of these insects
and pays little attention to the piles
OF mites hanging like swarms Of bees
under the roosts. The chicks are so
weakened that numbers Of them fall
down and die and the owner wonders
what happened to them. The others,
being bled every night, are prevented
from growing and become stunted,
never recovering from this subsection
to mites when they were young.
There are different ways of attacking
mites, one Of which is to wash the hen
house with whitewash, and the other
is to give 1t a thorough going over
with water in which has been dis
solved a great deal Of strong soap and
large amount of kerosene.

Seating himself at a desk, Peter
Burt wrote two letters, and sealed
them. He then opened a huge, iron
bound chest, and for half an hour
was busy with its contents. When his
work was ended, he quilted the room

silent figures on the floor. John met
him at the gateway.
