Pnre Wafer for Stock.

The value of pure water for stock, at
this season of the year. cannot be over
estimated. A number of careful expert
ments made by NJ. Dancel, and given to
the French Academy of Science, go to
show that the amount of milk obtained is
approximately proportioned to the quanti-
ty of water drank; that the yield of milk
can be increased to considerable extent
without deteriorating in value by indu-
cling mich COWS TO take an abundant
quantity of writer. Indeed, NJ. Dancel
maintains that COW that does not COM
monty drink as much as 81 quarts of wa
ter day is necessarily poor milker,
while COW that drinks as much as fifty
quarts daily is sure to be an excellent
mixer Stagnant water, and that from
standing pools and small ponds, is always
more or less foul in summer time, and
even though abundant in quantity and
easy of access, has an injurious influence
on the flavor of dairy products Often
COWS seem to prefer such liquid even to
clear, running water. bu. experience
abundantly shows that when mich COWS
have access to such pools first-class artl-
lie of cheese cannot be made from the
milk, which is sometimes found to be alb
solutely nwholesome-The Dairy.

THE Vicksburg Post, Democratic
journal with opinions of its own and the
courage to declare them, thus expresses
itself with reference to the recent out
rage in Copiah county, Miss: "A free
ballot and a fair count does not seem to
be the motto of the COpiah county DEM
ocracy. In an attempt to cast his vote
at Hazelhurst, 'Prent Matthews received
charge of twenty-four buckshOt in his
face, killing him instantly He went to
the polls single-handed and alone. and in
the attempt to exercise his privilege of
American citizenship was shot down
like a dog. This is the worst murder
that has occurred in Mississippi since the
Chisholm killing. 1t will injure the good
name and prosperity of the state. Every
bullet that was shot into Matthews will
be worth thousands of votes to the Re
publicans, because it will be said, and it
cannot be denied, that he was killed on
account of his politics by intOleIant
Democrats"
