These standards are not to be con-
sidered as absolute, but 1t Is not wise
to depart far from them, either from
the standpoint Of economy or the
health and efficiency Of the animal. 1t
has been shown that when protein Is
fed in excess Of the amount required,
II may take the place OF carbohydrates,
and that the carbohydrates and fats
may to some degree replace each
other, but they can not take the place
of protein. All OF the common feeds
contain the three food nutrients
protein, carbohydrates and fat--but In
greatly varying amounts. For prac-
tical purposes those containing rela'
lively large amounts Of carbohydrates
may be classified as carbohydrate
feeds and those containing relatively
large amounts of protein, as protein
feeds This greatly gimplifles the
making OF satisfactory ration, for II
is simple enough to give protein feed
with carbohydrate feed, and thus be
sure Of supplying the anirtals's needs,
The following table lists tine common
feeds according to their relative nutri-

Mature animals require certain
definite amounts OF protein, carlo.
hydrates and fat In their food supply
and these amounts vary with the
weight OF the animal and the severity
OF the work being performed. They
require protein to make up for the
wearing away OF muscular tissues.
carbohydrates and fat to supply energy
for work, heat to keep up the body
temperature and to maintain q round
plump appearance.
The recognized standards OF require.
ments OF working animals are as fol-
lows.

pardon by Governor Slaton of Jamcs
jolly of DeKalb county. white con-
yict, who has served "a years of life
sentence for the murder of a beautiful
country girl on the road to Atlanta,
recalls the most remarkable case Of
circumstantial evidence in the his
tory of Georgia.
jolly was convicted on, a perfectly
woven chain OF circpmstantial evil
dence, of crime OF which, If lie was
guilty, death on the gallows could
have been the only adequate punish
ment- But there was nothing but
etrcpmstantial evidence and court Of
fieialSb who had participated in the
trial, so the old story goes, were new
er fully satisfied about the case. So
Jolly got q life term instead. During
the "a years. he has served on the
chaingepg he has been a model pris-
oner, but to this very day he persists
that he was innocent OF the crime.
Efforts of guards and fellow convicts
to get him to confess his guilt have
Mi been fruitless.
According to the remarkable story
that jolly told in his defense he and
the girl were riding toward Atlanta
In a wagon. He put his arm around
her and made improper proposals to
her. The girl, he said, leaped out
Oi the wagon anu in falling struck
her head against the wheel and was
killed.
Frightened almost to death he bur
led the body In a swamp and told the
girls relatives that she had gone to
Alabama. Later the body was found
and jolly was accused of murder.
