The best time to use silage in the
fattening of beef cattle that are to
be highly finished is during the first
part of the feeding period, when
large quantities or roughage can be
used to the greatest advantage. Dur
ing the last half of the feeding per
iod, a full feed of grain should be
given in conjunction with the silage
in order to obtain a better gain and
finish on the cattle.
Fireman R. M. Scott
Falls From Engine
Fireman R. M. Scott of Charles
ton & Western Carolina jfessenger
train No. 1, Augusta to Spartan
burg, was seriously injured when he
fell from the tender of the engine a
short d : stance below Woodlawn
Tuesday morning. Engineer Hill did
not miss him until he had carried
the train across the liver bridge, a
distance of about 300 yards, and
When he went back he found him un
conscious. Medical attention was
given by Dr. M. W. Cheatham of Mc-
Cornrck, as soon as possible and the
injured man was taken on the train
to Greenwood about 2 o’clock. He
was still unconscious when he was
taken to the hospital.
Engineer Hill said that he first
thought Mr. Scott had gone tack in
to the car attached to the engine but
when there was delay in his return
ing he stopped the train and began
to investigate and when he found
that r.o one of the tra'n crew had
seen him, uncoupled the engine and
went back in search. It is supposed
that Mr. Scott fell from the pile of
wet coal on the tender while he was
examining the supply of water. He
fell clear of the train, striking the
road bed'.
Mr. Scott has been in the employ
of the C. & W. C. for 10 years or
more and during that time has lived
in Augusta. He formerly was an en
gineer but returned to firing during
a period of curtailment of expenses
by the road. He formerly lived at
Mt. Carmel.

tempted hold up and probable fatal

his hands. They are alleged to have
entered the confectionery shop about

at the point of a pistol to hold up his
hands.
Instead,- the proprietor lunged for
the revolver in the hand of one of
the bandits who then fired at close
range. Seaman grappled with the
bandit however and the pair rolled
through the door into the street.
Weakened by the wound -Seaman was
forced to loosen his hold and the
bandit fled.

rested the pair near the mill village
after a chase through the city. To
day they denied any connection with
the shooting.

Smith, McCormick, S. C.
In feeding the dairy cow, o- ’-half
of the grain is ordinarily fed i i the
morning, the remainder at nl ^.it. If
cows are milked three times or more
per* day, the grain should be no por
tioned accordingly. It is common
practice to feed it just before or
during iimlciiig. So.ne cm men
spread it over the silage. All grains
should be ground or crushed. There
is little value in cooking or soak
ing grains for dairy cows.
