I cro p Mr. Richard W. Milam,
■ g voung man reared in Bartow
Hountv', but who has been farming
■nd in business in LaGrange, Ga.,
■rows it extensively for forage.
He writes his experience to the
■aGrange Graphic, giving some
Haluable instructions.
■Mr Editor: —As you have solici
me, I will give the Graphic an
■tide on hay culture. Six years
■go I began cutting wheat in
Re dough state, and treating it as
■av, and so satisfactory was the
■suit that I have annually increas
ed my acreage from two acres to
■ixty-five. During my twenty
■ears experience in growing forage
■ ants for horse feed 1 have never
■et found anything that equals
■heat as a’ perfect feed for
■horses and mules. I have
■grown more ton rage of superior
■ quality in wheat than in any other
■ kind of forage.
I It grows in the winter when
■ nothing else will grow, and great
ip- improves the land and beauti
■ •fies the section where grown. It
■is a sure crop, and comes in when
(the barns are empty in the spring.
II have tried it every way that has
■ been suggested and the wheat
■ proposition has met every object
lion that has ever come to my
■ knowledge, I sow the Fclcaster
I variety of wheat, which is a very
I large and bold-growing variety—
I the most hardy of all the wheats.
I I find it will grow r about one third
more pounds per acre than any
other kind. I begin to harvest
about May 10th, and generally cut
and windrow one day, and house
the next. I have never seen a
straw moulded,and have had heavy
rain on it in the windrow'. It
cured nice and bright. The hay
can be baled v;ith safety in ten
days, and should be baled to re
tain its valuable qualities.
I am asked almost daily if oats
treated the same way would not be
better. Experience tells me no.
I had rather pay one dollar for
one hundred pounds of wheat in a
bale, than forty cents for a bale of
oats the same weight and treated
the same way.
I follow my wheat with corn and
peas, one fourth bushel of western
corn, and one half bushel of peas
per acre, broad-cast, and the crab
grass comes up with the con and
peas, and adds to that class of hay.
The western corn will not grow so
large as southern grown seed, and
the small stalk is preferable. The
pea vines will run upon the corn
stalks, and hold them up off the
ground. When cut the corn
stalks ripen a litte ahead of the pea
vines, and being all through, will
absob any excssive moisture that
mav be in green pea vine, and I
have never had any' trouble curing
pea viees. I grow other kinds of
hay, but find wheat and peas the
least trouble and most profitable;
have almost discarded other kinds.
Trusting this letter will be of
interest to your readers, and that
some one will be benefitted —as al
most every'body around LaGrange
who has tried "it is satisfied with
results—l am, most truly yours,
R. W. Milam.
AN ARIZONA KILLING.
In Which a Bartow County Man
Figures.
Ihe news reached this section
a killing that occurred at Pres
cott, Arizona, in which a Bartow
county man figured to the extent
killing a man in self protection,
hhe Courier gives the account be
low of the affair. Mr. McAlister
mentioned was born in Adairsville
and has been in the west for some
time:
“About 8 o'clock last Saturday
evening a shooting occurred at the
Empire mine between William Yo
ko and Sam McAlister which re
sulted in the death of Yoko.
“Both men had been employed
ln running the hoist at the mine,
alternati .g a month as to a day
and night shift. Reports are that
there was some trouble .over the
matter of alternating, and Yoko
made threats against McAlister’s
' lte - Yoko was discharged from
the employment of the company
‘ast Saturday morning. Trouble
w ’as expected on account of Yoko’s
threats. About Bp. m. Saturday
j? e appeared at the hoist where
•McAlister was w'orking and
Promptly opened fire with a re-
McAlister started to draw
on. Owing to the fact that his
revolver got caught in his overalls
Yoko had fired two shots before
McAlister fired at all.
“McAlisterfired two shots and
Yoko sank to his knees saying:
‘I 11 quit, Mac; pick me up.’ He
was raised to his feet but could
not stand. He was placed on a
blanket and expired in about ten
minutes. One bullet entered his
breast and passed through his
heart; the other bullet passed
through the calf of his right leg.
The bullet that went through his
body dropped down between his
back and undershirt; did not go
through the shirt. The bullet was
found in the dead man’s pants; it
was not battered or scratched.
Both men are well spoken of. j
Yoko was addicted to drink and is
supposed to have been under the
influence of liquor when he made
the attack. He leaves a wife and
six children in Phoenix. The
body was brought into Prescott
yestervay and is now at Undertaker
Logan’s
“Justice Moore went out, held an
inquest over the remains. The;
coroner’s jury said, ’justifiable
homicide,’ and McAlister was re
ieased-from custody.”

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Son of Mr. Walter Bradford Is
Killed by Pistol.
On I'hurday afternoon of last
week. 23rd inst., a fatal accidental
shooting occurred near Pine Log.
Karl, the sixteen-year old son of
Mr. Walter Bradford, in handling
a thirty-two calibre revolver acci
dentally fired it, the ball striking
the forehead, and passing entirely
through his head. He lived about
an hour after the shooting.
It seems that the young man
was preparing to shoot a chicken
when the fatal shot o;curred. He
was examining the chambers some
of which being empty, so far as to
bring a cartridge under the ham
mer. He could could not deter
mine whether the cartridge was
under the hammer or not only by
having the muzzle towards his
face. He had turned the cham
bers around and accidentally pull
ed the trigger.
The funeral occurred the follow
ing day, Rev. A. 11. S. Bugg,
of Fairmount, officiating. A large
concourse of the friends of the
young man and his family was pres
ent.
The young man’s brother, who
was attending school at Young
Harris, was on his w'ay home for
vacation when the fatal accident
occurred. He arrived after the
funeral, and knew nothing of the
sad accident until he had reached
the neighborhood of his peop’e.
It was indeed a sad homecoming
to him.
The deceased was a most exem
plary young man, much esteemed
by all who knew him. The family
have the sincere sympathy of then
hosts of friends in their most sor
rowful trials.

HORSE’S SKULL TREPHINED
Dr. Coester Performs a Success
ful Operaton.
Dr. Coester, the veterinary sur
geon, has just made a most intri
cate and succssful operation upon
a valuable mare belonging to Mr.
Ruohs Pyron.
The mare was recently bought
by Mr. Pyron, after it had taken
man} blue ribbons at northern
horse fairs and is a beauty. Upon
arrival Dr. Coester noticed that
her breathing was labored and
went to .York to find out the mat-
ter. He found the membrane
beneath the frontal bone swollen
and feverish and the canal leading
to the nose closed, suffering with
what human folk suffer as catarrh.
Dr. Coester put the horse under
the influence of anaesthetics and
cut a hole into the froncal bone
just between the eyes. He found
the mucous membranes much ir
ritated and swollen. He dressed
and inserted rubber tubes down
the canal and the horse is now do
ing well.
Dr. Coester has performed many'
operations upon horses since his
residence in Cartersville and in
every instance was suecessful.
This last operation is seldom per
formed.
A FIREMAN’S CLOSE CALL.
“I struck to my engine, although
every joint ached and every nerve
was racked with pain,” writes
C. W. Bellamy, a locomotive
fireman, of Burlington, lowa, ”1
was weak and pale, without any
appetite and all run down. As I
was about to give up, I got a bottle
of Electric Bitters and, after tak
ing it, I felt as well as I ever did
in my life.” Weak, sickly, run

strength and vigor from their use.

A CREAMERY.
There is Some Interest in the
Starting of One.
Interest is being renewed in the
Cass Station community in the
creamery business again, and it is
sincerely hoped that it will not lag
but the project started and car
ried to success.
There is no part of the county
that would be more benefitted
than the section around Cass Sta
tion, as pasturage for milk cows is
plentiful and many are already in
the dairy business to considerable
extent.
The reports lately as to the suc
cess of the LaGrange creamery
has livened up the interest in one
for Cass Station. The LaGrange
creamery turns down orders for
its products every day, the one at
Gainesville doing the same. There
is no better section in the country
for good milk and butter ttian
right here in Bartow county and
we should, by all means, have a
creamery.
Many people around Car.ers
ville with a few cows could get
along most comfortably and make
money, if a ready market could be
had for the product. The cream
ery of LaGrange simply separates
the cream from the milk, returning
the skim milk to the seller, who is
paid for the cieam extracted there
from. The skim milk is returned
to the farm and fed to pigs, thus
adding another uidustry to the
creamery scheme.
Mr. Randolph Walker, at Cass
Station is much interested, and it
is hoped he will be most liberally
encouraged.

gone a few months ago.
Mr. Scheuer has spent much of
his time for the past three or four
years abroad in endeavoring to re
cuperate his wretched health, and
when he returned from Germany
over a year ago, it was thought
that he was going to recover. He
had not been long at home before
it was seen that he was again fail
ing, and back to Germany he
went, Mrs. Scheuer and the chil
dren going also.
Several weeks ago he was re
turning home and had gotten as
tar as New York when it was de
termined that his condition did
not warrant bis continueing the
trip much fuither, and he was car

Scheuer visit.d him and found
him in cheerful spirits and talking

Scheuer left on the first train.
During the day a telegram was

came over from Cedaitown and
Wednesday morning he went down
to Atlanta to arrange for the fu
neral and interment in the Jewish
cemetery there today. The re

people will go down.
Mr. Scheuer was born in Heid
elsheim, Germany, forty-four
years ago, next October. He
came to Ameiica and immediately
tQ Cartersville in 1876, and enter
ed the dry goods establishment
of Liebman Bros. He made
friends from the start and during
his residence here was popular
with the people. About 12 years
ago he was elected alderman, serv
ing two term's, and during his ser
vice the water works, ga; and pub
lic school systems were inaugura
ted. He was a live member of the
city council and wa always hop
ing and helping in the matter of
Cartersville’s welfare. He was a
mason and will be buried with
masonic honors. He leaves a wife
and four children who have the
sympathy of a wide circle of
friends. He leaves two brothers,
Mr. Isadore Scheuer, of Cedar
town, and Mr. Max Scheuer, of
this city.
News of Mr, Scheuer’s death has
been received in Cartersville with
genuine regret and many expres
