Cattle receipts were moderate here
last week, but ran too much to good
heavy fed steers. which gave buyers
the chance to take off some of the re-
cent advance on that kind. They clos
ed the week 20 to 80 lower. Cheap
cattle sold good all week, and closed
firm, westerns Is to 25 higher, COWS
and heifers 25 to 40 cents higher. bulls
likewise, stockers and feeders up 10 to
10 cents. Killers are pretty well stock
ed up on the good quality and weighty
fed steers, and came out this morning
without much appetite for them, bare
ly steady today. All other kinds are
a little stronger today, run 1900 head.
Some prime yearlings sold at $500
today, corresponding to the $500 year.
lings last Tuesday, and $40 yearlings
last Monday. The best heavy steers
sell at $500 to $3.50, short fed steers
$500 to $5.S5. A few quarantine fed
steers are here today, and the best at
$500 Prime heavy steers are $3.50
per cwt. lower than at this time a year
ago, and sticky at that. Bulls are sell.
ing at extremely high prices, nothing
of quality under $400, and tops at
$4.75. Heavy cows bring up to $500,
and fancy heifers $500 for odd head,
car loads up to $3.50, stock calves $3.50
to $5.25, veals up to $500, stock steers
1915 to $500, feeders $425 to $5.25.
The run of Colorado cattle here today
is only one fourth as large as one last
Monday, the big drop in receipts from
that section marking the close of the
fall shipping season there.
A big increase in shipping demand
for hogs forced packers into the com.
petition last week, and the close of
the week showed a net gain of Ia
cents over close of previous week. Re-
ceipts were disappointing to killers,
and unless more hogs show up at the
markets this week there are signs of
another big bulge in prices. Recent
developments seem to have injected
confidence. into hog owners, and pre-
ponderance of light weights is disap-

DOCTOR GIVES UP LIFE,
MARTYR TO PROFESSION
Joseph G. farrell, of Savan-
nah, Is Dead From Blood
Poisoning

SAVANNAH, Ca, Sept. 20.-Dr. Jo-
seph G. FARRELL, one of the best known
practicing physicians of Savannah. is
dead at the Savannah hospital as the re-
suit of blood poisoning. DR.. FARRELL is
martyr to the profession which he has
served SO faithfully for several years.
About three weeks ago while attending
child he performed an operation and
in a small cut in his hand blood poison
ing developed.
He grew rapidly worse after the dis
covery of the fact that he was poisoned
and on Wednesday or week he was
taken to the Savannah hospital. Yes
terday it was announced that there was
no chance for his recovery. He contin-
ued unconscious until the end Dr. Jar
rell was the son of a Methodist minis
North Georgia conferences. He is sur
two brothers, DR.. William FARRELL, of
Townsville, practicing physician, and
DR.. c. c. FARRELL. of Rome. pastor of the
First Methodist oh urch in that city.
His death has brought great deal of
sorrow 20 the many people in Savannah
VINO knew him. During the Spanish
American war Dr. FARRELL served in the
hospital corps as a lieutenant and assist
ant surgeon and was about the only man
from Savannah who was with the in
vading American army when il entered
Ponce, Porto Rico.

ROOSEVELT OCT. 9TH
IN ATLANTA, NOT Ord
Wrong Impression As to Date
Has Got Abroad in Some
Parts of Georgia

BY a perfectly applicable Typographical
error, some of the Georgia state news
papers, commenting editorially on the
Coming of Theodore Roosevelt to Atlanta
this fall to deliver lecture under the
auspices of and for the benefit of the
Uncle Remus association, have convey
ed the wrong impression that the date
of the address was October Sd. In real
ity IL is Saturday. October Sth. Mr..
Roosevelt will come to Atlanta from
Knoxville via Rome, on that date, and
will leave Atlanta the following morn
ing.
That Mr.. Roosevelt's coming is mat
ter of statewide Interest, and that hum
dreds of out-of-town visitors will come
to Atlanta to hear his address, Is assured
by the comment that nearly all the news
papers throughout Georgia are making.
They are complimenting the ladies OF
the memorial association on bringing
Mr.. Roosevelt to the south, and are in
dorsing the plan to make of Joel Chand-
Ter Harris former home a lasting public
memorial Of which every southerner viii
be proud.
Tickets will be put on sale not later
than Thursday of this week, and indica-
tions are that the auditorium will be
filled to it's capacity on the evening of
the address Orders for tickets from
persons outside Atlanta will be honored
by mail and carefully attended too, just
as was done for the grand opera in
May.

KILLS FARMER WITH AXE;
TRIES TO BRAIN HIS WIFE
Clayton Farmer Is ASSaSSinat-

Especial Dispatch to The JournaD

Especial Dispatch to The Journal
CLAYTON, Ga. Sept. 2O.-Moses l..
Shirley, a prominent and well-to-do
farmer, living about one and d half
miles south of Clayton, was fascinated
at his home last night while in bed,
by an unknown assAilant who struck
him with an axe.
Mrs Shirley, who was sleeping with
her husband, was awakened by the blow.
The assassin drew back his weapon and
hurled 1t at Mrs. Shirley, The blow
missed her, however, the axe going al
most through the bed.
The. assassin made his escape.
Some four or five years ago, it will be
recalled, Mr. Shirley was arrested and
placed in Jail at this place on the charge
Of shooting his wife. After serving some
time he was released on his wife's tes-
timopy, who exonerated him completely
from firing the shot that entered her
Jaw bone. She fingered between life and
death for long while, but finally recov-
cred, though the wound inflicted left her
manned for life, with practically no use
of the injured parts.

Land that has been cultivated as ions
in corn and cotton as indicated must Ger
tainly be deficient in vegetable matter
and the first consideration in securig 2
large yield of corn will be to increase
the supply of humus in the soil. This j.
even more important than the mere us
of commercial fertilizer. The best meth
cd of procedure, therefore, is for you Il
put a cover crop on the land this fall a.
soon as possible and pillow II under in the
spring unless you can secure an abun.
dance of yard manure. If you have a.
much as five to ten tons per acre of yard
manure available, you need not bother t.
use a cover crop. While various cover
crops may be used, we believe there ~
nothing better than crimson clover for
soil enrichment. This should be sown
Immediately. The land should be plowed
thoroughly and a good seed bed prepares
Break it deeply, ten inches will not be
too deep. Fertilize the crimson clover
with say 300 pounds of 1914 mixture
using Is pounds of good recleaned seed.
The seed may be brOadcasted and cover
ed with a brush harrow or any other
light surface working implement. A
weeder is good for this purpose. In the
spring the clover should be plowed down
when not over six inches high. the land
Immediately rolled and narrowed, and a
fertilizer containing 8 per cent of nitro
gen, 10 per cent of phosphoric acid and
per cent of potash applied at the rate
of 800 pounds per acre. Clean surface
cultivation of the ground should be pur-
sued, and you should take care to select
good prolific variety of corn which has
given good satisfaction in your section.
BY following these directions you should
be able to raise a large crop of corn. Oc-
casionally crimson clover fails. but it is
as likely to succeed if properly put in
as any other winter cover crop you can
use save rye, but rye does not enrich the
soil as much as crimson clover, as ii is
not a legume. Crimson clover makes a
more vigorous growth early in the spring
than vetch, and is therefore a better
cover crop to pillow under. This method
OF raising corn has been followed with
success i'm the coastal plains by some
farmers, and is therefore not a new plan,
but one which has been tested and found
satisfactory under farm conditions.

PREPARING CORN LAND FOR 1911
J. E. j., Edwardsville, Ala, writes: 1
have a piece of land that has been cul-
tivated in cotton for five years which
had previously been cultivated in corn for
a number of yeahs. 1t is high bottom
land with dark muatto soil. 1t will
make 800 to 1000 pounds of seed cotton
in a favorable year with 300 pounds of
fertilizer per acre. l want to plant this
land in corn in 1911. How shall 1 pre-
pare the land and how much fertilizer

sand lands, for instance, would be an
exception to the rule.
In fertInzing we prefer to use a high
grade mixture, such as a 3-10-4 at the
rate OF not less than 500 to 800 pounds
per acre. Quite as essential as the use
Of fertilizers is to save and apply to
tho land some compost, though lot ma
mire is preferable. Where this can
not be had the refuse and litter gathered
up in the fall and properly handled will
make a fair substitute for manure. This
applied at the rate OF two tons per acre
in the drill row will insure your securing
much better results from the use of the
fertilizer. The gerat need OF southern
soils is first of all an abundant supply
OF vegetable matter. Some prefer max
ing two applications. but as a rule
we have found one application the best.
Top dressing with nitrate of soda oc-
casionally may be found helpful to a
backward crop.
In feeding mules we would suggest the
following rations for animals weighing
approximately 1000 pounds and doing
heavy work:
Mix together 100 pounds of cotton-seed
meal, 100 pounds of wheat bran, $50
pounds of oats, and 800 pounds Of corn.
Feed Is pounds of this with IA to 10
pounds of good, clean bright corn slower,
peavine, Bermuda or mixed hay.
Another good grain mixture is 100
pounds of cotton-seed meal, $50 pounds of
oats, and 500 pounds of corn and cob
meal. Another good one is 100 pounds Of
cotton-seed meal and 600 pounds of corn
or corn and cob meal. These formulas
will give your animals virtually a bal
anced ration and will stimulate the d.
gestion and enable the animals to do
more work with less physical strain,
and therefore insure their remaining in
working order for a longer period of

land for five years, and L pillow IT every
fall to kill the insects. Some time ago
sowed a turnip patch on portion of
it. They came up very good but the
grub worms killed them out. Please tell
me how to get rid of them.
1t is impossible to say from the de-
scription given in your letter just what
class of insects caused the destruction
of your turnips, butt was quite likely
either cut worms or what is known as
the white grub. These grubs are best
destroyed by blowing the garden shall
low in the fall and exposing them to the
freezes of winter. Turning the land over
two or three times and blowing 1t shall
low is probably the best method of de-
stroying them. No artificial means for
their determination has been devised

litter and trash is an advantage as it
gives them less cover. OF course, it is
inadvisable to burn weeds and trash

because of the destruction Of humuS. A
rotation of crops is OPP of the best
methods of controlling this pest. OF
course, it is difficult to rotate crops in

cropping around from one location of

suggestions that you will be able to hold

The Poland Chinas are certainly an
excellent breed of hogs. though possibly
little better adapted to strictly
corn growing section than some other
breeds because of their tendency to lay
on a large amount of fat in proportion
to lean. Possibly they are not quite as
good grazers either as some of the
more active and better rustling breeds.
These are facts you should keep clearly
in mind when you consider purchasing
this breed for use in this state, for pork
can certainly be made cheaper on graz
ing crops than in any other manner. The
Poland Chinas cross we'll with native
hogs or with the grades of other breeds,
and some strains of them are certainly
prolific, fatten easily and produce meat
Of good quality. The amount of fat Sc
cured from the carcass will be deter
mined to some extent by the feed they
receive. AS compared with the Berk-
shires we could not say that the Poland
Chinas would be better adapted for this
state or that they would make any bet
ter quality of pork. II is certainly true
however, that all breeds have good quail
ties, and that the success attained with
the breed depends as much on the Sc
lection of the individual animals Of which
IL is composed and the skill with which
they are managed as on the breed it
self. There is no doubt however, of the
greater adaptability on the part of some
breeds than others. and for general, all
round purposes, the Berkshires are
among the best Of the breeds adapted
to the south.

Apparently your colt is suffering from
laminitis following a slight attack of
founder. The best treatment under these
conditions would be to soak the affected
feet In warm water for at least one
half hour twice each day. The colt
should be fed on grass and bran mashes
and other light, laxative foods and sup
piled with plenty of rock salt. The af-
fected limbs should be bathed freely with
turpentine twice each day You might Sc
cure from your drug store eight ounces
Of Fowler's solution and give a table
spoonful in the. feed twice daily. This
will be the best treatment to follow, and
while IL may not prove effective is the
best suggestion we can offer at this

Wins FAST GAME
Brooklyn Club Team Beaten by
Crack Vallejo Players,
IL to s

Before one of the seasons largest
crowds of enthusiastic football fans,
the Winged v football team of Vallejo
scored a II to victory over the Brook
lyn club of this city. There is no de-
nying that the good old American game
has a strong hold on the sporting pub
lie, as was shown at yesterday after
moons gathering at the Presidio ath-
letic grounds. Vallejo had It's usual
crowd of rooters on hand, while Brook
lyn also brought out a large follow
ing. The game was q hard fought con-
test from start to, finish, and it was
not until the last quarter that Vallejo
seemed to show any of its champion
ship form.
The visiting team started scoring in
the first quarter with a quarterback
sneak by Blanco for a touchdown which
was converted into goal by Castag-
netto, while in the same period Brook
lyn scored points on a safety and 3
more on a drop kick by Adler in the
second quarter.
In the third period Tredigo, on a
blocked kick, ran Is yards for a touch
down, but no goal was kicked. In the
last quarter after or 8 straight bucks
down the field. Castagnetto was put
over for a touchdown. while Daily for
the Brooklyns kicked a lucky field goal
from the 80 yard line, the ball hitting
the goal posts and going inside.
The players lined up as follows:
