THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER l..
As TO Jersey Cattle.
espondence of the Ledger

Correspondence or the Ledger
MEXICO, Mo-, August 81.
Jersey COWS are not remarkable
for their milk producing qualities
but for their butter making capacity.
There is no COW that will equal her.
There are several strains of the Jer-
sey but only one breed. All cattle
registered in the Herd Register of
the American Jersey Cattle Club are
as pure as those on the Island. The
Jersey cattle of America and Canada
are superior to those Of any other
country, not excepting the channel
island of Jersey. America has inn
proved the breed until all the cham
pion butter makers belong to this
country. Signals Lily Flag S1o35,
owned at Huntsville, Ala, is the
champion. She completed a years
test a short while ago and made in
that time 1,04z pounds and q ozs.
The total registry on the clubs books,
male and female, dead and alive, in
the United States, is 100 900. The
first importation recorded in the
Herd Register of the A. j. C. Club
was made in 1850 in the ship
Splendid by Mr.. Taintor. The ami
mails were the bull Splendens is,
and the COWS Dot Violet %, Jessie
IS and the Ives cow. In the same
year were imported Sisson's Dam
%, Daisy 3S2, Buttercup 557 and
Jenny Lind 552. Mr.. Bucks was
probably the first Jersey herd es-
tablished in the United States and
Mr.. John T. Norton's the next.
Old Marioram 1899, (imported)
IS pounds in ! days, is a noted COW
because she produced Stoke Pogis
Bird and Stoke Pogis 9Th, both noted
bulls. Stoke Pogis 3rd sired %
cows that made over IA pounds of
butter in seven days. We have in
our midst a noble grandson of this
great bull, Uproar OF St. Lambert,
property of Mr.. Geo. A. Morris.
Uproar is by Pogis Chief, he by
Stoke Pogis 3rd; Uproar's dam is
Khedive's Fancy, Is lbs. 3 ozs. in 7
days. Princess I'd, half sister to
Khediye's Fancy, has a butter
record of 46 lbs. 12& ozs. in 7 days.
1t may be incidentally remarked
that Mr.. Morris has a magnificent
herd of Jerseys of the highest strains
and a fancier of the breed can feast
his eyes on some as good ones as
there is in the land by going out to
his farm, "LakeyieW," just south
of town.
All the Guernsey cattle the writer
ever saw were small and used and
exhibited as a dairy breed. AS to
Attorneys, they are too few to be
sent abroad, even if they were val
liable. By comparison with Jerseys
OF Guernseys they are not de-
sirable, hence there has never been
any indueement to import them ex-
eept as a curiosity.

DEADLY RATTLEsNAkEs.
An Arigoniaa Who His No Faith In
the Whisky Cure.

~
"Out of a thousand persons Bit
ten by rattlesnakes, said K. D..
Bourne, of Palm Springs, the other
day to a Pomona Progress reporter,
81 am sure that not fifty ever really
recover. So far as | know-and |
have posted myself thoroughly upon
the subject for over twenty years,
on the desert and III Arizona and
Texas-there is no known cure for
rattlesnake poison, in spite of the
fact that many people saved saidthat
they were cured by whisky. You
may depend on it that when a man
says he was cured of a r~attlesnake
bite he is at least laboring under a
misapprebension of the facts. There
is a small snake similar tothe rattle
snake in appearance, whose poison
is not SO. venomous, and negroes
bitten by it place lime upon the
spot or else drink enough whisky to
counteract the poison. Whisky, II
taken in a large quantity, goes di-
reetly into the blood and counteracts
the poison of the snake. But the
regular Arizona RATHER, from five to
seven feet in length, is a deadly
customer to meet. 1t does not give
any warning, but strikes the moment
it is disturbed, and it can strike an
object almost twice as far distant
as it is long.
IA friend of mine, ex-County
Clerk George English, was riding
along in the saddle near Yuma,
when a big RATHER lying in the road
leaped at him as he passed. Il
| struck his bootleg, driving one of its
fangs clear through the thick leather
of his boot, through his trousers.
just escaping the flesh. 1t required
considerable kicking to shake thai
snake off, and when he was finally
got rid Of he started in pursuit. My
friend had faced bullets in the army
with nonchalance, but his hair stooc
on end when he saw the snake com
ing, and he jammed spurs to his
nag and didn't stop until he hae
gone a quarter stretch. He knew az
well as | what an awful thing rat
tlesnake poison is. He lost two
men i'll one month from rattlers
My ranch is literally full of rattle
snakes, and only last week my
hands killed twenty-six in a field o
twenty acres"

Soap

Why is Pears Soap-the
best in the world, the soap
with no free alkali in it,
sold for IS cents a cake?
It was made for a hospital
soap in the first place, made
by request the doctors
wanted a soap that would
wash as sharp as any and
do no harm to the skin.
That means a soap all
soap, with no free alkali in
it, nothing but soap; there
is nothing mysterious in it.
Cost depends on quantity;
quantity comes of quality.
All sorts of stores sell
it, especially druggists ; all
sorts of people use it, espe-
cially those that know what's

CONFUSED TWO q
j. N. Basket Thinks =. b. Clark Has
Things Considerably Mixed Up.

To the Editor of the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo-. August 25.-Mr.
Clark seems to confuse the two
storms of 1891 and 1892 in discuss
ing my paper. OF the latter only
did / say, "It seemed to be guided
away from its first house by a line
of wire fence. In fact, it seemed to
get its impetus due east by this
Mr.. C. omits the guiding sentence
and the expression adue east
Perhaps the word impetus was un-
fortunate here. Of course, I never
meant to state that a line of posts
gave any storm its original impetus,
nor do I say it. l also said, 81 re-
call that the former storm also fol-
lowed directly up a long line OF this
(wire) fence till DETECTED by an OBJ
struetion.n There is no 80 mile
impetus in this. This obstruction
was a pile of posts, just east OF the
old Dyer home, and this DETECTION
seemed to save this, the only house
missed in SIX miles. Mr.. C. says,
ssMr. Basket can make his theory
very plausible by taking the fact that
bulky objects attract and then repel
a cyclone" Ii it be a fact, why try
to controvert it? Perhaps he meant
assumed fact. He says, Eastward
in a zig-zag way" 1t is only the
small zig-zigs that Ihave tried to ac-
COT mt for. 1 could mention many in
stances in the path of the 1891 storm
that seem to have escaped Mr.. G.
AS to Mr.. C.'s theory, his language
does not convey his idea clearly to
me. Just what he means by 'sde-
falcations' | do not know. My own
ideas were thrown out, as these were
suggestions of an observed order Of
facts that might have some practical
trend in it. Since the paper was
published in the american | have
gone further over the track OF the
last storm and at every crossing of a
-
narrow strip of timber it a up it a
little way transversely to its path
and was either DETECTED or set over
to one side quite appreeiably-even
sometimes running backward a short
way to follow a little timbered draw
to its end. | am not so taken with
my views, however, as to enter into
any further discussion about them
till ] can see another tornado

f. Good Suggestion.

To the Democrats Of Mexico and vicinity:
MEXICO, Mo-, Aug. 27.-As the
Mexico Democratic Club is duly or.
ganized and as the Ninth Congress
ional contest is settled, it is now
time for the Democratic work to be-
gin. I would suggest hat we talk
the matter up and have a meeting
right away and lay out the work to
be done in the county. New clubs
should be organized and every effort
put forth to elect every nominee on
the Democratic ticket in this county,
district and state. We have gone to
some expense and now let us have
a meeting and get to work.
