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.

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 dowm people always gain new' life, strength and vigor from their use. Try them. Satisfaction guaranteed 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. CASSVILLE MARRIAGE.

The convention is now trying O solve the problem of the negro furnishing his own educa tion, and the results of the con vention in this line will be watch ed with great interest. Wednes day Delegate Bulger introduced a resolutiou on the public school system, fixing the poll tax at $1.50 and dividing the school fund be tween the races in proportion as it is paid by the races. Another amendment, bearing on the same end was introduced by Mr. Carden, which provides that the school fund be divided be tween the races in such propor tion as the trustees may think best.
