Skilled Dairying Moving South

Live Stock Journal
" e have been pleased to note the yery
practical spirit manifested at the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College. al
otarkyilie, Miss. Here is a creamery
established, with capacity to work uu
all the milk to be got there. An i'm
proyement in dairy products is greatly
needed in the South, generally, and this
college Is taking the most sensible way
10 increase knowledge on this very inn
portant farm speciality. This creamery
Is conducted almost wholly by students

raises the cream before the climate can
affect its quality. This butter finds a

ably well-letter, no doubt, than could be
done by any style of setting the milk for
cream raising. These students learn
how to make the best quality of butter.
ana Will become missionaries to teach
this tine art to those who never made a
pound OF good butter in their lives.
When these creameries shall be dis
tributed over the South (another has
lately been established at Lebanon,
Ielu.,) the Southern cities will be sun.
piled with as sweet and delicious butter
AS is ever seen in Philadelphia or Bos-
ton. The centrifugal separator will
make "gilt-edge" butter common in the
south, as it gives no time for fermenta-
tion TO do its fatal work. Now, let this
wise Mississippi College go a step further
feed dairy herd upon its college
farm, and teach farmers sons how to
select profitable cows, h~w to feed, so as
to produce the highest yield and best
quality of milk, how to feed steers for
beef Ga necessary adjunct to dairying).
and thus illustrate the whole business of
dairying. This would place this college
in advance of all others in this country.
The above we extract from the edito-
rial columns of thc National Live Stock
Journal of Chicago-a journal not only
National in name but national as well
in general reputation as an exponent of
Livestock and dairy matters, and which
is accepted as high authority upon these
subjects and all others treated in its
pages.
The College does intend TO GO a STEP
FURTHER. and in large measure is now
developing and perfecting her dairy and
beef br eds, and thus preparing to fully
illustrate the whole business of dairving.
The experiments that have already been
made in feeding cattle for beef at this
institution, have been highly satisfac-
tory in every sense, and the results have
been widely published and disseminated
through the press. Experiments in this
direction will be continued in the future
and the most careful pains will be taken
TO insure accuracy in every detail. E. N.

In an eloquent and forceful sermon
upon the miracle of the Saviour's turn
ing water into wine, the Rev. DR.. Hun
ter, of the Presby yterian Church, took
decided ground against the saloon. and
called upon all his hearers to help in
trying the experiment of Prohibition.
Give it a trial, said he, and see If it will
not be of incalculable benefit to the
people. On Sunday night, October s.
Bishop Thompson, at the request of the
Rector, Rev: Mr.. Short, preached ser
mon upon Temperance, in the Episcopal
church. He made some thrilling points
against free moral agent, made in the
image of God debasing himself by
drink and losing the control of his will
power He condemned the signing of
whisky petitions, and entering into ga.
looms to drink. About forty persons
sent in their names to be enrolled as
members of Temperance organization,
and competent persons were appointed
to prepare proper forms for future pro-
ceeding. This movement will doubtless
result in great good. The pastor of the
Baptist church, Rev. Mr. SproIes, works
faithfully, and speaks boldly in favor OF
Prohibition. The Methodist pulpit il
pronounced in its denunciation Of the
saloon and all its abettors. The pastors
| of the colored congregations are all
known to be friends to the cause ol
Temperance, but are not as zeslous and
outspoken in its advocacy as might bs
wished.

Good News From Holmes County.

Recently hard and bitter contest for
and against license was fought in Good
man and resulted in great victory for
the Prohibitionists. The saloon must
decamp after the expiration of the pres
ent license. At Pickens Station, on the
1. G. Railroad, no-license prevailed. 1t
was accomplished by default; the whisky
men were so we'll assured of failure that
they made no attempt to resist the
onward tread of the Temperance army.
No whisky is sold either in Ebenezer or
Richland. A little more determined
effort and Lexington, the county seat,
will follow the example of the towns
mentioned then the entire soil of Holmes
will be delivered from the sowing of the
dragons teeth and the reaping of de-
strlIction

Drinks for the Voice.

Tea, coffee, and cocoa are three adj
missible drinks, but none in excess.
For the voice cocoa is the most benef-
cial. 1t should never be made too
strong, and those cocoas are the best
that have been deprived of their oil. A
cup of thin cocoa. just warm, is more
to be recommended between the exer-
tions of singing than any alcoholic
beverage. Tea must not be taken too
strong nor when it has drawn too long,
for tea then becomes acrid, and has a
bad influence on the mucous men,
brane that lines the throat. There is
always dry sensation after having
taken cup of tea that has been al
lowed to draw too long. A vocalist
had better do without sugar in tea and
only take milk with it, or, if an exhil-
arating drink is needed, mix some
claret wine with the tea, putting in a
slice of lemon and some honey.
Coffee should never be taken too
strong and not too often, Two cups a
day is all that can be allowed; without
sugar is best. Very strong coffee
heats and makes the voice husky. liz
fact, no drink should be taken too hot
or too strong; the voice wants-ar
equable, mild temperature, that will
keep up constant moisture aud tieXlbIlf
| ty in the vocal organs.
These are of all classes and are now
| universally taken, but l am sorry Il
| say that the chemical ingredients o
the sirups used with them are Otter
very injurious to the voice. Soda-wate1
is refreshing when pure, but wher
mixed with all kinds of aromatic sub
stances actually dries the throat in
stead of moistening it. Ginger ale,
| cider. and such manufactured drink
are only serviceable to the vocaiis
when of the very best manufacture
otherwise they are heating and dryin:
instead of cooling. So few fruit sirup
are now made of fruit that it is diff
/ cult to know where 10 ind them. an'
the artificial sirups are really danger
Gus to the voice.
| Water is to be recommended, whel
pure, but not too much iee-water- ii
any case, it must be Uttered water. AM
never too cold. A spoonful OF pur
sirup or honey in a glass OF cold waite
is better than aerated drinks. Waite
in excess is also injurious to the voice
Milk IN excess is also injurious, whlle
glass of fresh milk In the morning
most helpful to the voice, it not oni
softens it but nourishes and puriiles tn
blood.
The final resume is, do without a
alcoholic drinks, if possible; take onl
the best. In great moderation; exclud
beer If possible; rather molsten tn
throat with small quantities tina
drown it with lager; avoid too niue
strength, heat, or sugar in beverage
like tea and coffee; also artlhcii

Something That Has Escaped N Office

By reference to the laws of the State
OF Mississippi, passed by the Legislature
ia 1884, it will be found that the same
proceedings are required to obtain license
to sell whisky by the gallon that are
necessary to get license to retail. The
law In question can be found on page
200 OF the acts of 1884, and states that
all tae requirements of sections 1102,
llo3 and ll05 of the revised code shall
De complied with before any license to
sell In quantities of one to five gallons
shall be issued. We do not think this
requirement. has been complied with in
any instance in Meridian, and it places
the wholesale dealer in the same situa-
ton as that occupied by the retail
dealer who has no liceuse.-M

ASH WEDNESDAY,.

To-day being Ash Wednesday the
solemn ceremony, which has given
the day its name, took place, as
usual, at the Catholic Cathedral,
according 10 the rite observed from
old times by the Catholic Church.
Before 6 A. NJ. Mass, and after the
Rt. Rev. Bishop of Olba had blessed,
with molly water and incense, the
ashes made of the palms Of last year,
reading an intrdi and four collects
in which pardon and mercy are i'm
plored for the penitents, the faithful
approached and knelt at the altar
rails, and His Lordship put ashes on
the forehead of each, saying,
Memento, homo, quia pulvis es, ct
in pulverem reverteris Remem-
ber, man, that thau art dust, and
shalt return TO dust). The admin
istration of the ashes is usually
made during the whole day, either
by the Bishop himself, or by any
clergyman Of the Cathedral, to the
faithful whom long distance or
home occupation might have pre-
vented coming to the morning cere-
mony.
This administration of the ashes
was not originally made to all the
faithful, but only to public penitents.
These had to appear before the
church door on the first day Of Lent,
in penitential garb and with bare
feet. Their penances were there I'M
posed upon them; then they were
brought into the church before the
Bishop, who put ashes on theil
heads, saying, besides the words
"Memento," etc., "age p@nten'
tam ut habeas vitam pternma, y
Repent Cor, do penance) that thor
mayst have eternal life. Out of humani
ty and affection friends of thepenitent
used to join themselves to them, ex
pressing in their outward guise ;
similar contrition, and offering thei
foreheads also to be sprinkled will

sons gradually increased, until a
length the administration of she

A Paris despatch says Gen. Lewal
has received from Gen. Briere DE
Lisle at Hanoi q telegram which mo-
difies completely the plan of the
campaign in the East. The Com
mander-in-C in Tonquin an
nounces that he has before him at
least $4,000 Chinese troops, so
strongly intrenched as to render any
direct attack utterly hopeless. More
over, the nature of the country to be
passed over before reaching Langson
and the Chinese frontier is such as
to compel the French to attack the
Chinese in front if the original plan
be continued. Such an attack, says
Briere, would involve an enormous
sacrifice of men with no result, and
would require material of war, artil-
iery and means of transportation far
more complete than anything the
General has at hand. Under these
conditions Gen. Briere De Lisle con-
siders diversion near the Chinese
frontier indispensable, and has asked
that all the reinforcements that have
left France already on five vessels
