Many native cows are really excellent
dairy COWS. If they were bred to a good
bull, who has come from a family
known to be great mixers, their calves
would be valuable and well worth as
ing for the dairy. This is the whole
secret of success in the dairy. Breed to
animals whose records are known acd
do not take service from any scrub ami

in making herd or improving one.
Bear this fact continually in mind, a

Advice to Parents.

Parents should never put away their
own youth. They must never cease to
be young. Their sympathies and SEN
sibilities should be always quick and
fresh. They must love and take an in

government anE, good example. but
warm and tender sympathy. So long
rs parents are their best and most
agreeable companions children are
comparatively safe in the society OF
others.-Detroit Free Press

The transfer arrangement between the
Richmond and Manchester cars has not
yet been smoothly arranged. A great deal
of transferring can be done, however. The
Richmond cars transfer to the Hull-street
cars at Ninth and Main streets, but do not
transfer TO the PCrry-street cars at Seventh
and Nam. A Richmond passenger can.
however, take the Hull-street car at Ninth
and Main and get a transfer at Seventh and
Perry and thus &c anywhere he wants to
on the Perry-street route. When an Off
clal WIGS asked why thus double trouble to
the passenger. he replied: We have not
got the transfer system arranged yet"
For q few days past the Perry.street cars
have been giving transfers 10 the Rich
mond cars q: all junction points. This
was stopped Yesterday afternoon about
6 O'Clock, and If a passenger wants to
transfer TO a Richmond car from the Per-
ry-street road he will have to transfer to
the Hall-street car at Seventh and Clay
and the Hull-street car win transfer him
TO Maln-street cars.
The Decatur-street car line adopted a
new schedule yesterday morning. The
first car now leaves Richmond at 6 A. M.
and the last one at 10 u. NJ. They run
every fifteen minutes. The cars formerly
left at $50 A. NJ. and 11:SS p. NJ. and gave
a ten-minute schedule, except early in The
morning and late In the afternoon when
the cars ran about every seven minutes.
The Swansboro' people are complaining
about the service in that section. Beyond
Clopton street q transformer runs every
half hour until z p. NJ. after which time
the passenger living beyond Clopton
street has to walk.
The Hull-street cars began running on
