GROW YOUR OWN DAIRY FEED
Home Grown Alfalfa and Cow Pea
Hay Are Found to Be Valuable
by Tennessee Dairymen.
(Copyright. 1909. y

Copyright. 1909
Too many dairy farmers are run.
ming to the mills and feed stores for
supplies for their dairy COWS. They
know they need concentrates, but do
not study the problem OF feeding to
conclusion. Down In Tennessee
they raise great deal of COW pea hay
and think much Of 1t. Northern farm
ers might raise more to advantage
They are also beginning to know
what alfalfa is down there, and they
are feeding 1t largely in many sec.
tions of the state.
The Tennessee experiment station
has helped the farmers immensely by
= experimenting with the different feeds
9for dairy and beef cattle. The inves.
tigators find that the cost of milk can
be greatly reduced by replacing a part
OF the concentrates in the daily ration
OF the cow with some roughness rich
in protein, such as alfalfa or COW pea
hay.
1t is an advantage to feed a dry
roughness. which is intended to re.
place part of the concentrates in a
ration. with silage. because of its sue.
ton of alfalfa or COW pea hay may
be produced at cost of from $500 to
$500. whereas wheat bran costs from
$50 to $25. From two or three tons of
cow pea hay and from three to five
tons Of alfalfa can be obtained from
an acre of land; hence there is a great
advantage in the utilization of these
roughnesses in the place of wheat
bran.
Alfalfa and COW pea hay cannot be
substituted to the best advantage for
cottonseed meal. as this foodstuff Is
80 very rich in protein that a larger
bulk must be consumed than the ca
pacity of the average COW will permit
The substitution of roughness rich
In protein for an expensive concen-
trate will enable the dairyman to make
milk and butter at less cost and will
thus solve one of his most serious
problems.
In substituting alfalfa hay for wheat
bran 1t will be best to allow one and
one-half pounds of alfalfa to each
pound of wheat bran, and the results
are likely to prove more satisfactory
II the alfalfa is fed in finely chopped
condition.
These tests indicate that with alfal-
VIA hay at $40 ton and wheat bran at
$50 the saving effected by substituting
alfalfa for wheat bran would be 5000
for every 100 pounds of butter and 1913
cents for every 100 pounds of milk.
The farmer could thus afford to sell
his milk for 1913 cents hundred less
than he now receives and his butter
FOG about % cents, as compared with
25 cents pound.
These experiments show why alfalfa
has been frequently used as basis OF
manufactured foodstuffs. and indicate
that the farmer who can grow it makes
mistake in purchasing artificial
stuffs of which 1t forms the basis.
When alfalfa was fed under the
most favorable conditions gallon of
milk was obtained for 81 cents and a
pound of butter for 10A cents. When
COW pea hay was fed the lowest cost
of gallon of milk was 5.2 cents and
of pound of butter 9.4 cents. In
localities where peas have grown we'll
1t can be utilized to replace wheat
bran, and in sections where alfalfa
can be grown this crop can be substi.
tuted for COW pea hay with satisfac.
tion.

Woman Died in Electric Chair.

Auburn, N. Y, March 29.-Mrs.
Mary Farmer was punished for. the
murder of Sarah Brennan by death
in the electric chair in the Auburn
prison this morning. Five women
and a score of men witnessed the ex-
ecution.
The woman left a confession in
the hands of her confessor, complete
ly generating her husband, James
D. Farmer, who is also under SEN
tence of death. The woman says her
husband was not at home at the
time and had nothing to do with the
crime.
The woman was led to the chair a
little before 6 o'clock. The current
was applied and 1,S40 volts sent
through her body. The current was
kept on for a full minute then shut
off and again applied for five sec
onds. Persistent life f1uttered with
in her breast and the current was
again applied for three seconds. the
physicians then announced that
death had ensued.

CYCLONE CAUSED WRECK.
Cabbage Train Ran Into a Car on the
Main Line.

The cyclone which visited Colum-
bia Thursday morning caused the de-
struction of not little property. IN
the city there was some damage, but
the most considerable was the de-
railing of a freight train coming into
the city in the early morning from
Charleston.
This accident was caused by box
car being blown by the high wind
from the side tracks at Royster sta
ton. The wild car evidently rolled
out upon the main line and remained
there for two or three hours when it
was rushed into by fast freight
from Charleston travelling at the
rate of 40 miles per hour.
The engineer, Mr.. Sullivan, did not
see the obstruction on the main line
and the train dashed into it. BY a
miracle the engineer came through
without a scratch, although his en-
CINE was practically overturned. The
fireman was painfully injured, and
the white brakeman, Brown, acting
as conductor, was seriously hurt.
Both fireman and brakeman were
thrown through the cab window.
The accident occurred on the
Charleston division. There is no
wrecking crew on that division and
the wrecking train on the main line
was called into requisition. Within
a few hours the debris was removed
and the train moved on it's way. Supt
H. A. Williams, of the Columbia d.
vision, took personal charge of the
wreck and it's attendant difficulties
until the arrival later in the after
noon of Supt. Hungerford, of the
Charleston division.
There was a great exhibition Of
cold slaw at the wreck, for the nine
cars demolished had been loaded
with cabbage, and of this cargo but
little was saved.-Columbi State.

otherwise execute mad dog on the Sab

otherwise execute a mad dog on the Sab bath.
 Clarence Manning of Jasper county shot a mad dog on Sunday and was prosecuted and convicted for unlawful shooting on the Sabbath. The court of appeals re- verses the judgment and declares Man Ling was justified in his act.
 The court decision as written by Judge R. B. Russell, once known as "Plain Dick Russell-but that when he was on the stump as candidate for governor-is as follows:
 "A mad dog is a public enemy and to shoot at a mad dog Is not ths will full and wanton firing of a weapon with in the terms of the act of 1898, which for bids the shooting of firearms on Sun day.
 Ut is the duty of the court, upon the trial of one charged with a violation of this statue, to instruct the jury as to the meaning of the words 'wilfull and wanton,' as used in the statue; and 1t is error to restrict the defense of the accused to cases of actual self defense or defense of property.
 "It Is for the jury to determine whether shooting at a mad dog on Sunday is a wilfull and wanton shooting within the meaning of the statute, although they might believe that the mad dog was fleeing at the time he was shot at, and that neither the defendants person nor his property was in danger"
 Clarence may, therefore, continue to shoot mad dogs on Sunday, if they cross his path, without further molestation from the criminal courts

MISS INEZ MOORE
 GIVES RECITAL

Marion, May 22-(Special.) Miss Inez Vance Moore was heard in piano recital at Judson college on the evening of May 14, assisted eby Miss Fleming Cooke, soprano. Miss Moore gave a delight fully musical evening Many local musi- clans and sincere lovers of good music attended the recital and were frequent ly moved to applaud the artistic interpre- tation of the various selections on the programme.
 The representative compositions on the programme were three preludes of Chopin, which were given a graceful and refined
 reading. She possesses much tempera- ment and natural musical sentiment.
 The three contrasting sketches of Grieg, namely, Sailors Chorus" I'm
 provisation" on simple theme. and "A Norwegian Dance" afforded an opporun- ity of displaying her versatility, and ] many beautiful piano effects. An admir-
 able feature of her playing is clearness.
 The varying moods of the Russian "Serenade' (Sokolowsk) was so clear ly brought out that the simple little
 melody was heard and felt through all
 it's mazes and harmonization. Friml's "Mignonnette" with it's deli cate flavor of humor gave a delightful variety to the programme Air de Bal let" spirited and brilliant piece (Chaminade9 was given with an aban- l don that was very pleasing.
 The young pianiste played every number with such delicate accuracy
 and such adh erence to both emotional and technical features, that 1t would be 1 difficult to yield to a preference; and 1 yet 1t may be said that the Moszk oWsli ] Spanish Dance" claimed precedence | Her performance of this was an exam i pie of exquisite, beauty. The runs | were remarkably clear, and the en- ] tire reading sparkeled with animation l and interest.
 Miss Moore has 6 remarkable talent
 and her friends will watch with inter- est its future development.
 | Miss Fleming Cooke has a voice of i much sweetness and sensbility and wins ] it's way where force of tones would fail l Her songs were sung musically and ex- 1 quisitely.' The gem of her several se- | lections was Loves Coronation" with
 violin obligato, by Miss Dansby. There
 was harmonious blending of d sweet i voice with the rich tones of the Violin. 1 supported by a sympathetic piano ac- 1 compartment by Miss Williams-it was
 indeed a most effective ensemble 1 The pianiste and singer have every
 reason to be proud of this recital which
 was beautiful and solidly musical
 Miss Moore is the daughter of Mrs. l Eugene l.. Moore of Marion and WAS 1 the recipient of many handsome and val
 uable presents.

This is a short line. only about 30 miles long, but 1t taps one of. the most fertile valleys in the state the ookononchie-between West - oint, in Clay county, and Houston, in Chicka- saw county, connecting at the latter point with the Mobile. Jackson and Kansas City and with the Okolona and Calhoun City branch of the Mobile and Ohio.
 The officers of the company are local men, J. A. McArthur being president; J. R. Brikner, vice president; w. =. La- grone, secretary; L. T. Carlisle, a news paper editor. treasurer.

Plan to Defeat Woodward.

Back of a simple resolution to be in- troduced in the city council on Monday next there is a well grounded purpose.
 This resolution provides for an amend ment to Atlanta's charter so as to per init the mayor to succeed himself for one term.
 It would have been not better but more generally understood had 1t been termed a resolution to prevent the election of James G. Woodward to the mayoralty in 1910.
 That one of the principal purposes of the resolution to provide for a mayor to succeed himself for one term is to forestall the ambition of MT. Woodward to sit again in the mayors chair, fig ures in the interesting gossip of the city hall this week.
 The idea appears to be to get the char ter amended and then to insist upon Mayor R. F, Maddox succeeding himself Mayor Maddox has made splendid city officiali- and it is generally considered, with the obstacle of non-succession re- moved he would be easily reelected over any possible opponent
 BuV Vwhy all this figuring on the situa- tion H year and half hence?
 The answer is, according. to common report, that Jim Woodward is already en- gagged in building up Il political machine to insure his own election and what he considers Will be his Vindication, in the next contest for mayor.
 The defeat of MT. Woodward, after he had been made the nominee of the prj- inary because of certain indscretions is recent and familiar history. Naturally he has not gotten over it and the only thing that will satisfy him is success in anotller campaign.
 Thus the fight for the Atlanta mayor alty with the primary a year and a half ia al nn in as yet quietly and unobstrusively
 Mayor Maddox, however. has positively declined to consider reelection, and 1t looks as if the object in view cannot be accomplished by charter amendment. Those, interested in keeping MT. Wood ward out of office will probably have to adopt some other method.

LIVELY CONTEST
 ENDS IN GEORGIA
SCHOOL CHILDREN GIVEN PRIZES FOR COMPOSITIONS WRITTEN ON THE VALUE OF COTTON SEED PRODUCTS.

Atlanta May g. - Special State School Commissioner Jere M. Pound has passed upon the compositions written on The Value of Cotton Seed Products as a Human, Animal and Plant Food" by t1e school children of Georgia for the |s100 in gold offered by the Cotton Seed Crushers' association of Georgia, and they wlil be passed upon by State Chemist R. E. Stallings who is another of the state judges selected to pass upon them for final award. When he has made his selection the compositions will be sent to Dr. A. M. soule, president of the State Agricultural college at Athens, who will make his selections.
 Of those selected by these three, four winners will bes picked and these four will be awarded $50, $25 $15 and $1O respectively. Their names and addresses will be announced at the annual meet ing of the Cotton Seed Crushers asso- citation of Georgia at Atlantic Beach, Fla, op June IA and 15.
 Ut is estimated that 1000 children in Georgia entered this contest Early in February the county school commission CTS were sent notices of the contest by Secretary Fielding Wallace of Augusta, with leaflets to be distributed in each school In the county, giving the subject, the amount of prizes and the conditions. All children were admitted and the only restriction was that the compositions should not be over 75G words in length.
 Each teacher was asked to select from all the compositions written in that school the best three. These three were sent from each school to the county school commissioner and he was instructed to send to State School Commissioner Pound the one best from his county. These were received on April 10 and have been passed upon.
 A similar contest was inaugurated last year and met with similar widespread in. terest.
