two years ago, moved to Ithaca
where he has since resided. His sue
cess in securing the confidence, and
respect of his fellow townsmen, and
of the people throughout the county
generally, is almost phenomenal.
Without the aid of friends he has
won his way to the popular regard
of the convention whose candidate
he is, for the important office of Judge
of probate, upon his acknowledged
merits. That he will be elected
there is no doubt.
Our candidate for sheriff, Perry
ID. Pettitt, moved To Gratiot county
in 1888, enlisted in the 4th Michigan
cavalry and took part in some of the
most exciting events Of the war, was
present at the capture Of jeff. Davis,
his company standing guard over the
man of petticoats. After the close
Of the war he returned TO Emerson,
where Ire continued TO reside Till
1882, when he moved to Alma, where
We was soon elected constable and
,ater village marshal, both of which
offices he filled so acceptably that his
friends from Arcadia presented his
name 10 the county convention a a
suitable candidate for the Office Of
sheriff in 1856. His faithful dis
charge of the duties of this Office for
the last two years confirms the wis
dom of the selection His friends
now know him to be faithful and
competent officer and will see To il
that his services are continued in this
responsible Office for the next two
years.
Our candidate for clerk, Marvin
II. Saltcr, was born in the city of
Detroit, Oct. 10th, 1898. At the age
of six years he moved with his pa
rents on farm in Shelby. Macomb
county, Mich. When hc was II
years OF age his father sold the farm
and engaged in the mcrchantlc bust
ness at Disco, a small village in that
county, but in two years aftcrward
his store was set on fire and burned
with all Its contents, sweeping away
all the hard earnings of years of toll,
but he did not long survive hi> loss
for in short time was carried To his
last resting place. After his father
death Marvin clerkcd in stores and
worked by the day among the farm
ers, until he was 20, when ne learned
the trade of carriage building and
carpentering. In 1880 he and his
mother moved to Ithaca, where he
has followed the trade of cabinet
work and carpentering until he en-
tered upon his duties as county clerk,
Jan. /, 1857. He has served two
terms as president of the village OF
Ithaca, two terms rs supervisor of
the township and assessor of the vii
Iage and one year as chairman of the
board of supervisor. Mr.. Salier
has made a very efficient clerk and
the people will see to it he be CON
tinued in the Office for another term.

necessarily have ar ything to do with its
quality? Does the COW that gives the
smallest mess always produce the richest
milk? Do the smallest Jerseys give the
richest milkf Does the Jersey that gives
the smallest mess give the richest milk?
III these questions can be answered in
the affirmative, then there Is screw
loose somewhere in the reasoning of men,
who assume that large mess Oh milk is
as rule, inferior in quality. ..e,sSs i'm
plying that the small mess must be rich.
The fact la that size has nothing to do
with the matter, but seiection and breed
ing has. The small size of the Jersey Is
an accident, 20 very great extent,
while the rich quality of her milk has
been secured by selection and line breed
ing, If not inbreedipg for many genera
tions.
The Fresian cow is large, and she gives
C large mess of milk, because she has
been bred from time immemorial with the
end in view. Her mess however, is not
SO much larger than the Jersey, when we
consider her size, and there Goes not ap-
pear TO be- any reason in nature, vhy her
mess OF milk, by careful selection and
breeding, may not be raised to the quality
of the Jersey. If the latter gives 30
pounds of milk day, from which
pounds OF butter il made, why may not a
cow twice her size give go pounds of milk
a day from which pounds of butter can
be made, without any more tax on the
system III tho one case than in the
othery
Fat il an element in nature that is
easily obtained and the appropriation of
il does not materially exhaust the soil.
Butter production does not rs rapidly
i'm mpoverish the soil as cheese or beef pro-
duction does. But TO secure the carbon
aceous element in the form of butter fat,
we must induce peculiar physiological
condition of the COW. just what that
condition is, end just how to best secure
il, are two things to be found out. We
only know that by careful selecting and
breeding from COWS that have the physi-
ological tendency TO secrete butter fat,
we can not only transmit that tendency
to the offspring, but increase and intensi-
fly it. The subject is one worthy of the
most careful attention of scientists.
L. may be that we shall never be able
to tell why one family of bovine animals
is given to the secretion of butter fats,
and another puts fat around the kidneys
and among the muscles, any more than
We can tell why one seed produces white
corn and another yellow, or why one seed
produces wheat and another corn. We
cannot change the nature of either, SO far
az we yet know, and perhaps we cannot
change the innate qualities Of the animal.
Bot We can depend upon the seed, being
true to its kind. and on this fact we can
base our practice so as to secure enough
of the kind that we want. Possibly we
can rear cows of large size that will give
large yields of milk of superior quality,
the yield always being proportioned to
the size, without cetriment to the consti-
tuition OF the animal. We may yet get
the Jersey quality into Friesian milk.
The idea is worth considering, and we
believe an effort in that direction is worth
making. The suggestion is made for
what it may be worth.

Deep Sea Fish Light Up the Impenetrabie

"The absence of sunlight, the tremend-
ous pressure of the water at such depths,
and Its quiet stiffness are the causes
which make the vast physiological differ
ences between the fish at the bottom of
the sea and those near the surface, with
which We are most familiar" remarked a
prominent scientific man to a reporter of
the New York Mail and Express.
MANY of the most wond rful peculiar

mentary ones, like those which ar. seen
in fish which inhabit the streams OF caves
where the sun never shines. On the
other hand, there are some varieties which
have eyes os abnormal size, in order that
they may collect all the rays Of l!ght that
penetrate the deep. Experiments show
that the light of the sun cannot pene-
trate the water beyond depth of about
two hundred fathoms, and thai just be-
yond that depth the light is but faint
glimmer, while still farther down il total

away from the light of the sun, must have

tirely enveloped in light, and sometimes

'Does the appearance Of any of these

The eabaiistio sign, so. X" has it's
origin when the Indian chief, "Old Keo-

his name TO governments treaties at the
time when Black Hawk, his formidable
rival, was kicking over the traces and try
ing to create muss by seeking to nullify
every thing that he did. The 20. K" was
too much however, for Black Hawk, and
even at that early day it quickly came to
mean literally what it is accepted as
meaning to-day-that it was proper and
in good form.
