Va. Only Son of the Late
Georgia Editor Disappears

\
Atlanta, Sept. 9. ? Henry W.
Grady, Jr., has disappeared, and
liis friends and relatives are much
concerned ovor his fate. Mr.
Grady is the ouly s??n of the late
Henry W. Grady, editor of The
Atlanta Constitution, who at the
time of bis death was probably
the most popular man in tho|
South. Young Grady was last
seen in Norfolk on Fiiday of last
week, when lie left the hotel whore
he was stopping with his wife and
child, in order to secure transportation
for the return trip to Atlanta,
his home. Since that time
no trace of bim has boen found
by any member of the family.
Mrs. Grady, prostrated with grief,
has returned to Atlanta. Eugeno

# folk.
Mr. Grady has long suffered
from severe attacks of hay fever
and it is thought by some of his
close friends that his protracted
illness had affected his mind. The
strongest theory udvanced 10 ex
planation of his disappearance is
that be might have wandered
aboard an outgoing steamer or
train while under temporary mental
abberation. The theory of
foul play had olso bccu put forward,
but it is difficult to find a
m five for this as Mr. Grady had
only a small amount of money
upon his person when he was la&t
seen. The theory of suicide is
not entertained by his family or
friends. His domestic life was
happy and he was in very comfortable
financial circumstances.
Every possible effort will be made
to locate him, and the police of
every city, domestic and foreign,
will 1)0 notified to watch for him.
The missing man was for a
time prominent in Atlanta political
life, having been city councilman
for two years. He has
for moiuo years Seen connected, in
an editorial and reportori'd capacity,
with the Constitution. His
wife was Miss Grace Gould, of
St. Louis, Mo.

Conscience Stricken Woman Iveveals
Mystery of Earl
Luken's Oeatb.
Chicago, Sept. 9.?A dispatch
to The Tribune from New Orleans
says:
A woman's conscience compelled
her to reveal the mystery in
the doat*h of Earl C. Lukens,
manager of the New Orleans
branch of a correspondence school.
Lukens was believed to have accidentally
drowned on the evening
of August 31.
On that evening a party boarded
the yacht ludian for a sail
down the river. On the yacht's
return it was announced that Lu- *
kens bad accidentally fallen overboard
and drowned. His body
was recovered two d*ys later.
Mrs iL
.m?v vuiivau, tut) yOUOg
wife of a traveling man, has con*
fessed to Coroner Richard that
she pushed Lukens overboard.
Mra. Jarrean went on to say
that she had wished to tell the! -?
truth about the affair on the night j
I of the drowning, but bad been |
prevented by Hans Reig, a mem*
bor of the party, who had warned
everybody that in justice to her
name they should all stick to the
accident theory.
Mrs. Jarreau is held by the po*
lice as a witness. After she told
her story a search was made for
Reig, and it was ascertained he
had left the city.

THE VIEWS OE AN EXPERT.
What Has Been Done in Development
of Dairying and Stocking Raising.
Mr. Ij. A. Ransom, who Is well
known in the South on account of his
conspicuous work in agricultural matters
and his connection with the South
Carolina department of agriculture,
and now with the Southern Cotton Oil
Company, as District Manager, at Atlanta,
Gu., In writing about the Influence
of cotton seed products on the development
of dairying In the South,
ays:
"About 1850, a few wealthy and enterprising
Southern planters imported
some Devon cattle from Kngland.
These were turned loose In canebrakes
with the native scrubs and allowed
to roam over large areas of
wooded country, picking up a precarln,,a
II..? -
-vo ikiiik un me scant pasturage afforded
by the woods freshly burned
over by the forest fires In the spring.
Although widely scattered and a few
In number, the prepotency of this breed
was so greet that In many sections the
evidence of this infusion of good blood
Is still visible In the stock.
"No well-to-do planter at that time
considered that he had milch cows
enough to supply the wants of his family
unles he owned at least twenty-live
or thirty head. These droves of halfwild
and half-famished animals were
located towards nightfall by the ringing
of a bell hung around the neck of
the leader. They were driven to the
cow-pen, sometimes miles from where
they were found In the woods, a spasmodic
effort was made to extract milk
from them, penned up over night, and
a second attempt made upon them the
next morning. The 'average yield' was
about one quart per cow.
"The idea of Increasing this production
by Judicious feeding was not
thought of. This was the rule, but of
course there were notable exceptions.
People who did not own unlimited acres
of land, and who appreciated milk
and butter, took better care of their
cows, fed them regularly, and allowed
them to pasture during the day on
their neighbors' land. This pasturing
was more to give them proper exercise,
and keep them healthy than to
afford them any means of subsistence.
To such an extent had the cattle Interests
of South Carolina in lsso depreciated
that the repairs to the farm
fence cost more than the value of the
cattle In the State, and the probability
is that the same was equally true of
nearly all the Southern States."
Then came the "No Fence Law,"
which compelled the owners to fence
the cattle instead of the crops. This
forced the farmers to own good milch
cows, or none at all, as It became t<?>
expensive to feed poor stock. About
thia Itnn rwv,,K~ ,,Ai'
...... ?.uv, Hmiu|ia a. nine earner.
appeared the "Jersey" on the scene, a
breed of cattle as suited to the needs
of those who were "too poor to own a
cow, and too proud to milk a goat."
But this beautiful little animal soon
demonstrated that she was not a
"quitter," and, furthermore, that she
"tilled a long felt want," and. with
m-opcr attention, gave rich returnn on
her cost and keep, and, like the Irishmuns
|iis li.at lie i:.:a.cI ?? the cul>;?.
With his children, she "paid the rent"
as well as the freight. As compared
with the Devon, she. was smaller In
statue and Rave less milk, but the proportion
of cream to water in what she
did give, far exceeded that of the Devon,
the Durham, and Holsteln. and
she promptly became the prime favorite
of small families and butter-makers.
But she could not live without
feed, and butter could not be produced
profitably on corn meal, wheatbran, or
cowpea diet, nor could it be produced
at all on what the Jersey could pick
up In tho pastures.
Nature, always lavish, but provident,
hid away coal In the earth for ages,
only to bo uncovered when the world
needed It most, pointed the way to the
gold fields only when this precious
metal was absolutely required for the
world's commerce, and covered from
sight the phosphate rock of the Carolinas
until Improvident man had destroyed
the fertility of the fields, likewise
sho held hack the materlul required
to moke dairying In the South
possible and profitable, until conditions
were favorable for its use.
The advent of the Jersey cow created
a demand for a cheap and rich
food, which the oil mills supplied with
hulls and meal. In a list of fifty of
the leading feed materials of the United
States, tho National Department of
Agriculture ranks cotton seed meal
first, In feeding value and places the
value of cotton seed hulls for the same
purpose above tho best timothy hay.
The use of these products has fully
sustained the department's reports,
and dairy farming Is fast becoming an
industry of Importance, and this has
been largely the result of the liberal
policy of the Southern Cotton OU Co.
of the Carollnas and Georgia, which
has headquarters, at Columbia. S. C.,
Atlanta, Ga., Savannah, Ga. and Charlotte,
N. C.i Goldsboro, N. C., and Augusta,
Ga.
Around the large cities In the South,
dairies are successfully operated, supplying
the people with wholesome
milk, and rich golden butter from cows
fed on hulls and meal. The country
mills have accomplished the same
thing for the farms and small towns.
Around the factory towns the small
mills make dairying possible, und profitable.
fts the ilomnnrt fr/im ?K.
tlves in sufficient to consume all the
milk and butter that can be produced,
and the use ot meal for fertilizing the
land, which la sold reasonably by the
Southern Cotton Oil Company, has
greatly enlarged the area devoted to
truck farming of nil kinds.
Without oil .mill products dairying
would be Impossible In many sections
of the South. The abundance, cheapness
and convenience of the products
has already developed the business to
an interesting extent and It is only rn
its Infancy, and its growth will Increase
rapidly each year with the
steady Improvement In the grade of
inilch cows. Oleomargarine contains
about forty per cent, milk, and th?
compound is a wholesome product.
The establishment of co-operative factories
for Its manufacture In the vicinity
of oil mills where refined oil
can be had would give a tremendous
Impetus to dairying in the South.
?Some farmers claim that September
sown oats never fail to
yield a good crop. If that be
true, people who contemplate
sowing onts should strain a point
to get them in in September.?
