Lill Go, Pig DENIAL Secretary Cotton Association Under fire SAYS HE TRADED FOR A FRIEND Before Cotton Association Committee of Investigation, Charges That Sec retary Cheatham and PreBS Agent Fairchild Have Been Speculating in Futures Are Preferred and Only Partially Denied. Atlanta, Ga., Special.-Before the committee of investigation named by President Hame Jordan to hear evi dence that certain officers of-thc as sociation owned an interest in a well known brokerage concern, and also have been specula ting in cotton fu tures, Representative J. R. Anderson, of Cheatham county, repeated the charges made 'hy him on thc floor of the House inst week. He charged that Richard Cheatham, secretary of thc association, speculated in cotton futures, carrying the accounts in the names of Mike O'Gradv and P. A. Lee. Mr. Anderson'also charged that Arthur A. Fairchild, who appears as lim manager of thc bureau of pub licity of the association, owned one eighth of the slock of thc Piedmont Brokerage Company, a concern which makes a specialty of cotton futures, To support these charges, Mr. An-" donjon submitted a number of affi davits and declared that an order from Mr. Cheatham on certain, brok ers would bring forth further evi-, dence in proof of the charges. Mr. Cheatham produced in his de fense ,a statement in. which he de clared: "I do not at thc present time, nor have 1 directly or indirectly in any manner, owned any part of or interest in a bucket shop or wire gambling house. "I'have never speculated in cotton futures for my own personal??.gain." Mr. 0'Grady of Chattanooga, was on hand to substatntiate the charge of Mr. Cheatham that the ."O'Grady ac count" was handled for him by Mr. Cheatham merely as a personal act of friendship. Mr. Cheatham refused to reveal thc identity of P. A. Lee, in whose name the other account was p carried. Thc charge that Fairchild owned au interest in the .Piedmont Brokear age Company was not denied, al though it was declared that the inv terest was disposed of some time ago, Brokerage People Testify. Mr. Fagan, manager ol' a local ex change, was the first witness at the afternoon session. He testified as lo Mr. Cheatham having opened an ac count under the name of Mike U'Grady. Mr. Fagan admitted hav ing given Mr. Anderson the informa tion on which ho based charges. The next witness was B. C/Cothran. local manager ot* a broker's ofiiee. He told about Frazier telling Dr. Crawford that Mr. Cheatham was a stockholder in thc Piedmont ex change. Holland Curran, who was book keeper for a brokerage lirm with of fices in this city, was the star witness of the day. He declined lo testify without Mr. Cheatham'.s consent, thereupon Mr. Cheatham jumped to his feet and exclaimed : Cheatham Flames Up. '' You are just here for a trick. This (hing has been tried on me before, and I am tired of it. You are trying to play at thc wrong game." Mr. Curran flushed up angrily and proceeded lo tell what ho claimed he knew, and it was that Mr. Cheatham had bought cotton futures three times at his office. "He came to the office," said the witness, "and wanted to open an account. He did so and 'when we asked him what name to put the ac count ho said: 'Oh, Mike will do.' 'Mike who?' he was asked, and said , Jones was a good name and so the account now stands ond our books as Mike Jones." DJ*. J. M. Crawford took thc stand and said he was a stockholder in thc Piedmont Exchange. He said he was always positive Mr. Cheatham owned stock, although he never said so di rectly. A. A. Fairchild, manager of the publishing bureau of the association, was the last witness of the day and submitted a written statement. Governor Cummins Renominated.

Thc freight embargo of tho South ern Pacific Railroad iii San Francisco was extended. Wheat Bran. Wheat bran is a most excellent food for stock of all kinds, bul to be fed at its best advantage it should be used in connection -with some other food. In feeding horses it is often times a good plan to mix a little of the bran with their oats. This will com pel them to eat it much slower and is quite sure to stop a horse that is a "hoggish" eater from bolting his food. Grow Good Horses. The following" item, from the Okla homa Farmer shows how profitable this business could be made. When a grade.gelding sells in Chica go for $660 at auction, as happened a few days ago, it indicates that breed ing good horses has not become un profitable by any means. Good horses always bring good prices and farmers who breed poor stock stand in their own light. ;_ The Ewes in Summer. During the summer months, If you are fortunate enough to have good" pas turage on your farm, there is little or po need of giving the ewes any grain. - If the pasturage is short then they will peed some additional food and don't forged to look out for the lambs in this matter. Build a "creep" for them in which they can easily get to feed, but have it so built that the mature sheep cannot get into it. Inside thc "creep" feed a variety cf grains, such as grou:i 1 oats; shorts, oil meal, corn meal or I :v.n and feed it to them from a trough. Chicken Cholera. This Is a disease that is liable to make trouble among the poultry at this -time of the year. An excellent pre ventive, as well as remedy, is what'is known as the Douglass mixture. It is made by putting eight ounces of sul phate of iron into a jug, or glass bot tle, with two gallons of water, after which add one fluid ounce of sulphuric acid. A teaspoonful of this mixture Is put into each pint of the drinking wat er. It is one of the best tonics that can be given to the hens, and it is a good plan to use it at all times whether the hens are sick or well.-New York Witness. Dairy Form ls Important. Seeing the intimate relation between dairy form and production, many dairy men have sought to imprcve ' their herds by selecting what may be called extreme dairy form. They have select ed the "V" shaped breast and narrow wethers, and lost sight of the fact that while'so doing they have in the highest degree brought the four legs close together and narrowed the dis tance from side to side between tho shoulders, which has made the chest capacity so small that respiration and heart action are weakened. Extreme dalry form has limits which may not be safely passed without hazard. Give more attention to the development of 'the dairy habit and not quite so much to the form.-Prof. Thomas Shaw. Vitality of Alfalfa Seed. A remarkable test of the vitality of alfalfa seed is reported In Bulletin No. 110 of the Colorado Agricultural Experiment .Station. It is generally considered that seed must bc perfect ly new in order to come up freely. In Bulletin No. 35 of the experiment sta tion some tests were given of seeds ranging from one to six years old. Dr. Headden has retained samples of the same seed and tests have been again made when the seeds has beer from eleven to sixteen years old, arni the tests have shown that from eighty eight to ninety-six percent germinated. The screenings showed less vitality, the first quality of screening running from fifty to 791-2 percent; second quality, thirty-eight percent, and third quality forty percent. Alfalfa Practicable. Prof. W. J. Fra>.i8r of the University of Illinois in a recent interview on al falfa as a forage crop said: "Alfalfa is one of the best crops to grow for soiling, for two reasons: Be sure it furnishes a larger amount of nutriments pper acre than any other crop grown and because it grows up rapidly after being cut off and fur nishes a continuous supply of green I feed. When a fair sized field is cut over, a portion each day as needed for feed the first side of the field is ready for cutting again. Under proper con ditions this crop will yield four tons of hay per acre. With a yield Of four tons V furnishes more than twice as j much protein as clover at three tons per acre and about three times as much protein ac corn at sixty bushels per acre. Many farmers have failed in attempting to grow alfalfa, but it has been proven repeatedly in most sec tions of Illinois that alfalfa can be grown successfully If attention ls giv- . en to Hmelng, inoculating tho soil and getting all the conditions right." 8quaeh Bugs and Beetles. Rose beetles appear some time In June and in sandy localities are liable to cause very serious Injury. . It is difficult to destroy these insects either with poison or a whole oil soap solu tion, and, as a rule it would pay to shield more highly prized plants by covering them with mosquito netting. The striped cucumber beetle and the nauseous squash bug begin operations about this time. Young plants can be protected by a while from both with light screens. Tray thc squash bug under shingles laid near thc plants, and kill the bugs each morning. The striped cucumber beetle is held in check by spraying with a poisoned Bordeaux mixture or even dusting heavily with land plaster or ashes. The asparagus beetles and their grubs are frequently abundant at this lime and young plants at least should be thoroughly protected with , a pois oned spray. The. young of two of our common scale insects, the scurfy scale and oys ter scale, appear the latter part of May or carly In June, and there is no bet ter way of keeping them in check than by thoroughly spraying at this lime with an insecticide like the whale oil soap solution, one pound to flvo or fiix gallons of water, cr the {stand ard keroaens omuhjlon, diluted with ibout nine parti fr* water. How to Grow China Aster?. The china aster is one of the best hardy plants for cut flowers and for planting in the garden. Transplant from seed beds for summer flowers. Seeds sown in the open border in May give strong plants later in the season. Try wood ashes to overcome the root anhis which often attacks the aster. Plants of china aster should be transplanted when they are three or four inches high. From this tjme on, to get best results, some little care must be shown. In transplanting, see that as much earth clings to the roots as possible, or, if purchasing plants, have them dug carefully. Prepare the hole to receive the lifted plant so that it will he big enough to take in the ball of earth and deep enough to allow of the plant being half an inch deeper" in the ground than it was in the seed bed, cover with fine soil to the level of the bed and press gently about the roots; not too hard, or you might break the delicate roots. Always transplant, after sundown and after rain if possible. If it must be done in tbe morning put a teacupful of water in each hole and shade from the sun for a day or two. All that is necessary to do after transplanting is to keep down the weeds, and keep the surface soil open and porus by frequent raking-at least twice a week-rake very lightly near the plants so as not to disturb the roots. In a very dry season water the plants from time to time, giving a large cupful to each one and rake af terwards.-Indianapolis News. Give Less Range to Turkeys. When the turkeys are a few weeks old they may be allowed to go about thc farmyard premises, and called up regularly for their feed. This custom should be made a rule all through the season for once they have been trained to get their feed at stated intervals, they will almost without fail form the habit of coming home at evening to roost. This appears to be one of the bad features in raising a crop of tur .keys, and ls Often made worse when the owner leaves them in neglect to shift for their own keeping. As soon as the turkeys show Bigns of shifting for themselves, which occurs as soon as the foster niother deserts them, a little effort in special feeding on the part of the owner will generally overcome the instinct of roaming. About this time they also begin to form a habit of perching at night and seek out some elevated position, usual ly the fence row or a nearby tree. This ls a splendid time to take the habit in hand and with a little feed and sly coaxing they can be prevailed upon to take up their perch upon some pole roosts arranged about the farm yard in an inviting manner, most properly arranged Under a shed open to the east or southern exposures, where they will take up their perch and remain until autumn market is al hand, There is more carelessness in the raising of the turkey crop upon the farm than of any other line of poultry industry, and it is not Just plain why it is sb unless it Is from the fact that the turkeys show a strong instinct to shift fot themselves, and the owner through busy cares of other farm work allows them tn roam about and do so, often causing much loss at the end of the season and a great deal of bad feeling in the neighborhood.-Indian apolis News. Farm Notes. Each day brings its duties; each sea son has its appropriate labors. Success in thc poultry business does not depend upon luck; it is pluck that counts. In using manure for a top dressing only, much of the fertilty is dissipated into the air. Pure-bred fowls are not always stan dard-bred, but all standard-bred fowls must necessarily be pure-bred. When desired to fatten rapidly there is nothing better than good cornmeal. Give all they will eat up clean. "When the chickens are off their feed and do not eat with an apparent relish increase the exercise and change the bill of fare. A stiff wagon tongue is a boon to the farm or draft horse. It prevents sore necks, because there is no weight to be borne. A hen pays In proportion to the number of eggs she produces; there fore, it is an item to feed so as to secure plenty of eggs. The use of inferior bulls and stal lions should be discouraged by the farmers. They can do this by pat ronizing the really good males. In arranging the nests, have them arranged conveniently for the hens so that in getting in and out there will be little danger of breaking the eggs. You cannot make a low-headed horse look toppy and stylish by reining with a tight rein, nor improve the style of a lofty-headed fellow's appearance. The proper time to begin to handle a colt is the first time you see it. The sooner you begin to teach it submis sion and gain its confidence the bet ter. In Scotland, where there are many successful ?heep raisers the rams are allowed to run with the ewes night and day, and as a rule receive an extra feed. Look for brains as well as feet, limbs or body when buying a horse. An animal that is sound in every mem ber but has not a level head is never a pleasant horse and seldom a valua ble one. Some breeders claim that a horse with a high ridge on the top of his head will be balky unless carefully treated, while a horse broad in the forehead will be generally intelligent and kind.
