ORDER AND FREQUENCY
OF FEEDING COWS

question often asked Is whether
milk cows should be fed grain or
roughagc first. says the Kansas
Farmer. Some even think cows should
be fed three times day TO induce the
heaviest production. OF course this is
done when very high producing cows
are being fed for records. Cows have a
big paunch capacity. and in ordinary
practice feeding twice daily is a rea-
sonable rule to follow,
Where cows have the freedom Of a
yard during the day 1t ia good plan
for them 10 have some roughage III
racks to pick over between regular
feeds. Cows are creatures Of habit,
and regularity in whatever practice is
adopted Is of the greatest Importance.
From a physiological standpoint it
does not make much difference wheth
er the grain or roughage is fed first
In the processes OF digestion the churn

secutive spring that Griffithshas taken
his players there. and, Charlottesville

g chance for any other place getting
an opportunity TO house the Griffmen
during the training period.
GrifRth is a methodical individual.
He gets in the habit of doing things In
II certain way. and II is no easy matter
to change him. He is for Charlottes-
vile first, last and all the time, though
he stands against the wishes of every
player ne has on his list
Griffith believes that II Is beneficial
for the players TO do their preliminary
work in that Charlottesville climate.
contrary to the theory of all other
managers of long experience that il
requires real warm weather to get a
lot of players into good fettle.
Applications from numerous cities
in the South were flied with Griffith
recently, but none of them had a
chance as long as Charlottesville was
on the map.
Details as to when the players Will
be asked to make their way 10 the

Days-Southern Railway Does Not
Have to Pay.

A. ]. Andrews, colored, rail-
way mail clerk on the Atlantic Coast
Line train No. 6S on the morning of
July 7th. 1915, was Friday night given
a verdict Of $3.012.50 against the At
lantic Coast Line Railroad company,
which was one of the defendants in a
suit brought against it and Southern
Railway for $4,000, because Of al
legged injuries sustained by the plain
tiff in wreck which occurred be-
tween an Atlantic Coast Line passeng-
er train and Southern freight train
between the Columbia union station
and Royster.
The case was one of the hardest
fought and longest which has been

in progress ever since that time, with
the exception Of one day. when cour.
was recessed in order that Judge De-
Wore might be in Columbia at the en-
banc sitting Of the court.
The fight was three-cornered one,
for the plaintiff on one side, and be-
tween the Southern Railway and the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad on the
other side, each Of these defendants
endeavoring seemingly to shift the
blame for the collision on the other
road. Messrs. L. d. Jennings and A.

plaintiff and Messrs. j. H. Clifton, L
w. McLemore and Mark Rsynolds
We're attorneys for the Coast Line and

the Southern Railway.
The arguments were heard Friday
afternoon and the case was submitted
to the jury at about O'Clock. Court
was reconvened at about 10 O'clock,
when the jury announced that it was
ready with q verdict.
