Lee Forbes, the young ranch hand
who was shot through the lungs nearly
two weeks ago at the Bernard ranch on
the San Fernando road by George
Bradovitch after friendly wrestling
match, died at the county hospital at
LIS a. m. yesterday. The charge Of
murderous assault made against Brado-

Both men were employed at thresh-

who came to this country from Aus

and the other ranch hands gathered
about to witness the match. 1t is said
that when Bradovitch began to get the
best of Forbes the latter struck him
over the head, infiicting cut on the

Speaking Of the efforts OF the

stimulate interest In live stock
raising in South Carolina, Hon.
K w Dabbs, of Goodwill, Sum.
ter County, SAID yesterday that
eight years ago his little boy
had been made a present of a
pair Of sheep.
Since that time the increase
from those two sheep bad been
ove- 25 head and they had sod
5000 worth of wool and six had
been killed for mutton. In ad-
dition to this many wool blank
cts had been made.
The value Of cattle raising up.
on the farm was touched upon
by Mr.. Dabbs, too. In addition
to the receipts for beef and hide,
Mr.. Dabbs asserts that from every
$50 worth OF cotton seed meal
or hulls fed the cows, $40 is re-
turned in manures for the farm.
Then again there is the good val

Sowing Fall Grain.

We are very much gratified
with The numerous reports we
are receiving in regard to the
sowing of wheat, oats ard grass
es, this fall. 1t is indeed a hope
ful sign. While we Southern
farmers have been endeav bring
to push up the price of cotton TO
a profitable figure to the grower,
the wheat, corn and hay people
have been engaged along the
same liue and with much great
er degree of success.
Oar farmers have been taught
"that this is cotton country
and not grain country" We
don't advocate growing grain to
endeavor 10 compete in the open
markets, with our Western and
Northern brethren but as far as
our own consumption is concern
ed and as far as our local m tr-
kels, we can and should grow
ample to supply them. 1t ia
true that "we can not grow wheat
in the cotton belt"-until we
sow it and learn how to grow it.
We certainly can not by our past
folly and absolute neglect. Mr..
w. P. Walker, of Spalding
County, Georgia, has been grow
ing 20, 30 and 40 bushels per
acre for the last ten years. We
have neighbour, A. Kazmler, Of
Clayton County, who is doing
equally as we'll. Wheat grows
as a result OF good seed, put into
carefully-prepared land, when
sown at right time and manured
well. The result in such cases
is never a failure. Some years
it is more, some less, but al.
ways a paying harvest. 1t is up
10 us, fellow farmers. The Bi.
ble says: "Let every one work
out his own salvation with fear
and trembling" And we cot.
ton. growers must work out ours
along lines OF diversitication and
raising of home supplies. What

Bryan Continues to Pour

Philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 16.-
"Mr. Taft is dodging. He can

Taft, in replying to Mr.. Taft's
utterances printed this mo. ming.
Continuing he said:
"Instead of defining his posi-.
ton on public questions, Mr.
Taft is inquiring about my re-
cord and in his inquiry he shows
that he knows as little about my
record as he does about the pub
lie questions which he has al
tempted to discuss. He accuses
me of being changeable and of
abandoning issues"
Mr.. Bryan said he has been a
tariff retormer for 2S years, has
advocated the election of sena-

and has been favoring an income

only now coming around to his

in that he has more faith than

breeding Rambouillet ewes to Hamp-
shire ram. The result of this cross is
broad chest and heavy quarters and
splendid fleece at maturity. Mine are
western ewes, and, owing to the condi-
tons under which they have been
raised, they flock closely together in
pasture and are not at all inclined to
be breachy. They are heavy mixers
and make good mothers.
The hours of feeding are 7 a. IN. and
4 80 p. m. In the morning the flock is
admitted to the waiting yard. Next
the grain Is strewn in the troughs in
the feed yard. For this purpose two
bushel bag is most convenient. Mean
while the flock has collected at the
gate ready for admittance. The gate
Is then swung up and away from the
sheep, and the whole flock Immediately
rushes through under the gate to the
feed troughs.
The gate is then lowered and the
racks inside the barn filed with hay.
By the time the sheep have finished
their grain the gate is swung up again,
and they quickly pass back into the
barn, eager for the hay ration. One
man can easily hay and grain 100
sheep in ten minutes. But best Of all
is the fact that by use of this gate each
member of the flock gets absolutely
square deal and square meal
Suppose the gate to be sixteen feet
long When it Is opened the sheep en-
ter the feed yard sixteen abreast, those
In front being compelled by the rush
Of those behind to pass on to the far
Their troughs. Thus the entire flock
begins eating at practically the same
instant The gates simplicity and
worth at once commend it to practical
sheep men.
In constructing the gate the main
center piece A. in which the lever E
is placed, is preferably a dry pine pole
of by inch and should be two feet
longer than length of gate desired. 1t
rests and turns at either end upon a
short piece of board nailed crosswise
on two posts set in the ground, with
proper space between for the pole. The
lever has a small hole near the end in
which an iron rod is placed with hook
on end to engage spike or bolt driven
into one of the posts near the ground,
so that the gate can when desired be
fastened open.
The troughs in feed yard are V
shaped, made of a six inch and seven
inch board nailed together and stand
on legs of 2 by 4. Spikes are driven
through bottom of legs into the ground
to prevent shifting of troughs.
Hayracks are twentyfour inches
wide, thirty inches high and fourteen
feet long, with no bottom. Legs are
of 2 by T. lower board twelve inches
wide, upper board nine inches wide on
ends of rack and ten inches wide on
sides. The upper side boards are set

at an angle. This prevents waste Of

Space between upper and lower boards
is seven inches. Material for one of
these racks consists of two side boards

ter are placed in middle Of rack, one
on each side.
At two months old the lambs should
weigh forty to forty five pounds. Some
markets like them at this weight: 9th
ers prefer them heavier They are
either shipped alive. two In crate, or
neatly dressed and sewed up in mus
lin and burlap. If properly marketed
such lambs should return good profit
