RULE:
HURTS ATLANTA
Long and Short Haul Would
Rob City Of Advantages
Now Enjoyed by 1t.

Atlanta will be robbed Of the low
transportation rates it now enjoys if
the interstate commerce commission
decides to enforce the long and short
haul clause of the act to regulate COM
merce. according to the statement of
j. Prince Webster. rate expert Of the
state railroad commission, who dis
cussed to-day the arguments which
are being made before the interstate
commission.
Illustrating his point, me said.
Rates from Cincinnati to Atlanta
are less than rates from the same point
to DougIasyille and Villa Rica, Ga. two
local stations on the Southern railway
between Birmingham and Atlanta. even
though the traffic to Atlanta has to
pass righ. through these two towns.
As Il consequence. the broker. mer-
chant or jcbber in Atlanta is able to
buy goods al the Ohio river crossings
and have them shipped to this city
more cheaply than the Douglasville or
villa Rica merchant can do. and have
the goods stopped off en- route to At
lahta at his own station. Thus the At
lanta merchant is given a decided ad-
vantage because the rates to the local
stations are based on the rate to Allan
ta plus the local back TO Douglasville
or Villa Rica. even though the traffic
nearer is transported to Atlanta, but
is stoned - TO 50 miles short OF At

SAVANNAH BEER
MEN IN TAX NET
FOrty-five Dealers Delinquent
in tSate Licenses Held on
Technical Charge.

SAVANNAH, GA, March 27.-Forty-
five Savannah near-beer dealers have
been arrested and required to make
bond, charged with keeping on hand
spirituous liquors
The cases resulted from the failure
of the dealers to pay the special $500
license required by the state. The war
rants were sworn out by Special Agent
William e. Brown.
A majority of them have paid their
delinquent state license fees in an effort
rants charging violation Of the prohibi-
ton law stil are pending against them.
The fees paid viii go to the educational
fund.
The arrests came as a surprise to all
defendants. In the majority of in
stances the prisoners did not under
stand until they had reached the court
house why they had been arrested.
1t is SAID that still more arrests are
likely. Special Agent Brown is said to
be especially after the wholesalers, No
sales are alleged in the warrants. They
merely charge the defendants with
having on hand in their places of bust
ness malt, spirituous and Intoxicating

Chatham is said to be the most de-
Hnquent county in the state. so far as
this special tax is concerned. state Of
fcials are said to have expressed

The presence of United States Sena

invariably it does-renewed Federal
patronage talk. and many have been
the pilgrims. weary and otherwise. who
of late have wendell their ways hither

The senator is understood to be

lock for collector of internal revenue.
G. r. Hutchens has been heavily in
dorsed 20 the president for the dis
trict attorneyship. and his appointment
is said to he the only request Oscar
Underwood has made of the new pres
ident. The Augusta Chronicle is au-
thority for the statement however,
that the appointment of Hutchens is
the one appointment Senator Smith has
particularly protested against to the
president
If this is true. il sets up rather a
delicate, and certainly a most inter
esting. situation-one amateurs and po-
liticalIy small boys will do well not to
monkey with. of course!
Dame Rumor who perforce must be

opined that a gentle effort recently was
made to switch the Hon. Hooper Off
from the district attorneyship job and

that the effort was tutile-and that,
therefore, the Hon. Hooper is to have

cars. Experienced shippers seem to
be agreed on the point that cattle.
which have been heavily fed for some
weeks should be prepared for ship
ment by Withholding the usual grain
feed for day or two previous to ship
ping, and substituting for this grain
feed roughage in the shape of good
hay Some very good advice along
this line is given by John Clay in
Henry's Feeds and Feeding, as fol
lows:
day or two previous to shipping,
feed the. cattle in a pen. and feed hay
only, The secret of shipping all
classes of cattle is to place them on
the cars full Of food but with as lit
tie moisture as possible.
A steer full of water is apt to have
loose bowels. and show up badly in
the yards; properly handled, cattle
should arrive in the sale pens dry be-
hind and ready for a good fill OF
water-not very thirsty, but in good
condition to drink freely. Many
shippers think that by sailing their
cattle or feeding them oats they can
fool the buyers. but It always goes
against them to use unnatural
amounts
AS to feed on the road, nothing
equals good sweet hay which excels
corn or other grains, because 1t is
easily digested and does not fever the
animal. OF water in midsummer,
care must be taken to supply the ami
NAL wants, whereas in winter steer
can go for many hours without a
drink Cattle should arrive at the
sale yards at from to s a m, ap-
pearing on the scene as near the lat
7 ter hour as possible, since they al
ways look better just after they have
been fed and watered.
Funkhouser advises feeding all the
hay the cattle will eat. and reducing
the grain feed at least one-half two
or three days before shipping. For
steers in transit. allow $50 pounds OF
hay and one and one-half bushels of
grain per car. Steers on pasture that
have had corn should be taken of
pasture twenty-four hours before
shipping. and allowed half a feed OF
corn with plenty OF hay.

Beef cattle should be found on
every farm where cattle are not
handled for the exclusive production
er enters the dairy business or
handles beef cattle, should depend
upon the amount of labor available
in proportion to the crops produced
the demand for milk and its products.
and the equipment for the proper
production of milk. Beef cattle will
consume larger amount of feed than
proportion to the labor necessary in
handling them. They are especially
adapted to the utilization of rough
age require a small outlay for build
ings and equipment. and return to
the soil very large percentage of
the plant food consumed, thus reduc
ing expense of fertilizer.
1t is not always the heaviest feed
ers who get the best results. Every
animal requires certain nutrients that
enable it to perform its best work.
If these nutrients are not supplied in
the proper proportions, it means that
the animal must consume and adjust
larger amounts of some OF the eIe-
ments that it can use, in order to get
enough of the others. Economical
feeding requires that nutrients be
supplied to animals in the proportion
needed. As a rule, farm feeds are
lacking in protein. II one is feeding
cornstalks or wild hay, the farm
grains will supply enough protein TO
meet the animals needs for best
work. This is, especially true of
dairy cows and young stock. When
this form of roughage must be fed.
some such feed as bran, middlings or
oil-meal must form a reasonable pro-
portion of the grain ration, in order
that the protein supply may be main

Inexperienced cattle feeders fire.
Quently suffer quite heavy loss on
account of the shrinkage in weight
between the time the cattle are taken
from the pasture and the time they
reach the market. The shrinkage is
usually due to the careless feeding in
transit, or lack of preparation of the
cattle before they are put on the

PREVENTING GRUB
IN HEAD OF SHEEP
Noses of Animals Should Be
Tarred Often During FLY Time
to RepeI Pests.

The condition known as grub in the
head is caused by the presence in the
cavities of the head between the eyes
OF the larva fworm stage) of the
sheep bot fly. The trouble is confined
to sheep and occasionally goats The
eggs are laid in the nostrils of the
sheep during the summer by yellow
ish-gray fly somewhat larger than the
house fly. The eggs hatch and work
their way up into the cavities of the
head between the eyes, according to
the Southern Agriculturist, but not in
the brain. They attach themselves
there and remain about ten months,
when they loosen their holds and are
sneezed out and burrow into the
ground. There they pass through an
other stage, emerging in month or
six weeks an adult fly, and the life
cycle is begun over again.
A few grubs may not cause enough
trouble to be noticed However, if
there are many a thick. dirty, white
or yellowish discharge is caused;
coughing and sneezing tossing of the
head and Weakened gait. Sometimes
death results
A veterinarian can relieve the sheep
by trephining, but prevention of infec-
ton is better practice. In fly time
the noses of the sheep should be
tarred often. Some force their sheep
to take their salt through an auger
hole and keep it smeared with tar dur
ing fly time. A dark shed where the
sheep may escape from the flies is a
great help.

KAFlR is AS GOOD
AS CORN FOR FEED
SiIage Made From 1t Is Even Bet
ter Than Ordinary Kind for
Live Stock.

Kafir is as good feed as corn.
Because farmers are learning this,
kafir has become one of the most inn
portant crops grown in Kansas today.
The grain is valued highly as a feed
for all classes of live stock. In feed
ing, five bushels of kafir seed are con-
sidered as being equivalent to four
bushels of shelled corn. 1t should be
ground for all classes of live stock, ex-
cepting poultry, as it is so hard that
they do not masticate it thoroughly
if it is fed whole. 1t should never be
fed wet
Silage made from kaflr excels corn
silage as a feed, Gas the percentage of
grain and leaf to stalk is much higher
in the kafir The same thing is
true in regard to kafir fodder and corn
slower
Some of the farmers over the state
cut their kafir with corn binder.
They then cut the heads off with
knife, similar to tobacco cutter, only
much larger, which is attached to the
side of wagon box. The heads are
allowed to fall into the wagon box and
are then threshed. The fodder which
is left is excellent feed. Some persons
have advocated the feeding of this
fodder to horses suffering from the
heaves, but Dr. c. W. McCampbell,
assistant professor of animal hus-
bandry at the Kansas Agricultural
college, says that it has no more val
ne for this purpose than any other
similar feed

Keeping Sheep in Condition.

Doctoring sheep is expensive and
often unsatisfactory, unless the
symptoms of the disease are clearly
understood. If sheep are not exposed
to bad weather in tho late fall and
are given praper care and feed. there
is not much show for disease, unlesG
brought in from other fiocks. With
sheep ain ounce of prevention is
worth considerably more than a
pound of cure.
