A Six Months Competition Among
Three Breeds Of Cows.

The six months competition among famous
milk-producing breeds of cows has begun
at the Dairy building at the Chicago World's
Fair. The chief object of the test is to de-
fermine what breed, all things considered,
is the best for milk, cream, cheese and but
ter production. The strictest rules ever
formulated to govern dairy test are in OPP
GRAFTON, and only three breeding associations
the Short Horn Jersey and Guernsey
were willing to submit to them. They have
seventy-f1ve cows, representing the pick of
their breeds. They will be MIXED
three times a day, each cows milk being
weighed and the specific gravity and solids
in the fluid recorded. Records will be kept
of the butter produced by each COW, and the
results Of the test made known ate the fair

recognized as valuable addition, and in
consequence, the original act of Congress
providing for the celebration of the quadro-
centennial created an official organization
known as the Board of Lady Managers.
When the board first assembled to organize
its work for the Columbian Exposition it was
found, declares the New York Times. though
the previous work had been most effective,
the impelling law of progress demanded a
different plan of action for the exposition of
1898. Established precedent had to be thrown
aside and new methods of unself1shness
created. This proved to be necessary be-
cause of the strong sentiment among those
most interested against taking the exhibits
of women from the general buildings and
placing them apart in a "Woman's Depart
ment." Women who were doing the most
creditsble work in the arts and industries
strenuously opposed such a separation, and
insisted that their exhibits should be so
placed as to compete with the best and most
successful productions in all departments of
classified exhibits without regard to sex dis
tinction.

lTALY'S BAD CROPS.
She Must Import Grain Enough to
Meet the Budgets Deficit.

Reports to the Government from the pre-
fects of the various districts throughout
Italy show that the drought has caused such
damage to the grain crops that Italy will be
compelled to import this year liz. 800, 900
bushels of grain in excess cf the ordinary
amount imported.
AS the duty is five lire On quintaI, the
receipts on this account will probably cover
the deficit in the Italian budget.

BY DAY LABOR.
A Democratic MuniCiDaI
Job in View.
An Important Question of Street
work for tire Board of Super
VisOrS to Decide.

The general committee OF the Dem o.
cratic party at its last meeting appointed a
special committee TO wait upon the Board
OF Supervisors and demand that all work
to be done on accepted streets shall be
done by day labor.
This, although skillfully disguised as
an effort to HEP the DOOR," said we'll
known attorney Yesterday. "bears every
evidence Of being cod-blooded attempt
to loot the city treasury, and the Super
visors should watch the scheme aud be
prepared to hit it on the head with a very
hard and heavy club.
About $4,000 is soon to be expended on
accepted streets. The plan already Sug-
gested by the Supervisors is to let the
work by contract to the lowest bidder
This will insure the work being done and
give the taxpayer something for his
money. At the same time 1t will Decessi-
tate large employment of labor, and the
labor Will come naturally from the honest
working people of the town without ref
erence TO politics.
'On the other hand, if the contract sys-
TEN be abandoned and the dal Labor sys-
TEN adopted in its stead the labor will
necessarily be employed by Superintend-
eut OF Streets Ackerson, as the law pro-
vdes % other course. The kind of labor
that would be employed would pre.ump-
lively be the same as the Superintendent
has now in the nominal service of the city.
The labor employed would be entirely
Democratic, it would be the political poor
only vino have served CT will be expected
10 serve the political aspirations Of certain
persons. When the money was all gone
it would most likely require a body of
skilled detectives 10 discover where the
sO-called work had been DONE"
The taxpayers and citizens generally
will watch with interest for the reply OF
the Supervisors to the committee repre-
sentiDg the Democratic General Commit
tee.
