was revealed to cause unusual com
ment This week Captain Williams was
again requested to come to the county
to investigate the severe whipping adj
ninistered to two negro women by

The story told by one Of the county
officials is that Deputy Warden Lee
gave the negro women unmerciful
whippings, and then. in order to heal
their wounds. applied strong lini-
ment, which only aggravated the in
juries they had received.
The deputy warden did not report his
action to the road engineer, Julian
Lane, nor to County Physician Crosby,
to whom such reports must be submit
ted. DR.. Crosby went to the camp on
his regular rounds and found that the
women had been given a severe whip

The county commissioners have taken
the matter up and have notified Deputy
Warden Lee that he must hand in his
resignation or they will discharge him

SlLAGE AND CO. CRETE SILOS
How Farmers Are Building Solid.
Wall SiIos.

The principal source of profit in
dairying, stock-raising, aud farming
lies in improving the quality and at
the same time keeping down the cost
of production. In this matter of profit
and loss nothing plays such an i'm
portant part as the question OF feeds
and feeding. The natural feed for an
imals, the one on which they do best,
is green pasture. In climates subject
to frost. man has made the same pro-
vision for animals as for himself by
providing them in winter with canned
green fodder called 'silage." Silage
is made most commonly from corn,
COW peas, clover, sorghum, or alfalfa,
merely chopped fine and stored in
large water-tight cans known as
"silos." In dry weather or in winter,
when green pasture cannot be mad,
this feed is equally good in producing
a flow of milk or in putting fat on an
imals. One acre of crop harvested
as silage will feed twice as much stock
as the same amount harvested in any
other manner.
