Dr.. w. j. Dixon, family physician

Funk, Of Atlanta, to-day received the
following note from the latter:
IN until the present time | have

tents to accoun for the death of the
girl, Miss Marchman. Since the
stomach contains practically nothing

In order to clear up the mystery, l
would like to do 9 more extended
autopsy or examination Of the body,

the poison is likely to be found. I
would be glad to come down to do
the post-mortem examination and
bring back with me such organs as
found necessary to clear up the mys-

That the complete examination Of
the organs suggested by DR.. Funk
will be carried out, seems to be a
certainty. w. j. Cochran, brother
in-law of the dead girl, has already
expressed bis determination to take
all steps necessary to ascertain the

COST OF POWER.
\ Wide Difference In the Cost Of
Horses and Mechanical Power
on the Farm.
BY Raymond oIney, NJ. RumIey Co.,
la Porte, Ind.

National Crop Improvement service.1
The first cost Of q tractor as COM
pared to. that of horses necessary to
supply an equal amount Of power
must always be considered in the
growing Of crops. An engine which
will do tho work Of Is good horses
sells for $1,000. Fifteen horses at
$50 each (Which Is q low price)
would cost 32,25o. In this case the
advantage of tho tractor is that it can
be worked to the limit Of its capacity,
and not be materially injured in so
doing, which is not possible with
horses.
According to Government figures, in
southeastern Minnesota, taken some
time ago, the cost Of feeding q horse
for one year is 1889, and for Is
horses it would be, in round numbers,
t1,100.00. These horses average 94S
work hours per year. A IL H. P. trac-
tor working for 1000 hours will burn
about 5000 gallons of kerosene, which
will cost about cents per gallon. This
gives a fuel bill of $4,000. Oil, grease
and minor items would not exceed
10000. This shows large balance
on the tractor side.

RYE. in THE. POTATO ROTATION.
Rye Better Than Wheat in Potato Ro-
tation-No More Care Than Wheat
or Barley.
8y F. H. Demaree, Agronomist, J. |,
Case Pillow Works.

National Crop Improvement Service.l
There is a decided tendency among
potato growers to substitute rye in the
potato rotation in the place of wheat.
The original Terry rotation was wheat,
clover and potatoes. This rotation is
theoretically and practically correct
for potato growers and is widely used
throughout the whole country. Since
wheat is more uncertain than rye,
however, many growers are using the
last named crop as they cannot afford
to lose one crop out OF three, especially
since that crop is the one that nurses
up the young clover.
Many uses can be made Of the rye
crop. Statistics show that the yield Of
grain In the United States has been
somewhat higher per acre than wheat
and practically Of the same farm
val1e. It Is no more trouble to care
Tor than bearded wheat or barley.
The crop can be pastured early and
Is especially good for brood sows.
The grain may also be allowed to
'ripen and then be hogged down In
stead Of out and threshed. For the
potato grower, however. perhaps the
best method would be to cut and
thresh the crop.

1t would seem advisable to first con-
slider just what purpose we are en-
deavoring to raise rye.
Rye is now being used largely for
feeding as well as distilling purposes.
For the farmer who feeds his crop, the
yield per acre is of first importance.
If on the other hand the crop is to be
sold, attention to a few usually
neglected items will make several dol
lars difference in the value Of every
acre.
What is desired of the rye crop?

in the rye crop is in the production
