DAIRY NOTES.

If you have the right kind Of cows,
and the cows have the right kind of
owner, not less than three hundred
pounds of butter year should be the
average yield.
Stock is never profitable except when
It is making steady gain. Do not
keep n single head more through the
winter than you can house and feed
In such manner as to accomplish this.
AS a matter Of fact, cheese should
not be made from two-days' -old milk,
either in the spring or fall, and when
not enough milk can be furnished to
pay the factory to run every day, 1t
should close its doors for the season.
G. Il. Newell
Working butter too much, or when
too cold breaks the grain and gives it
salvy appearance that lessons it's
market value. Such butter loses flavor
and becomes rancid sooner than butter
worked or washed only enough to rid
1t of buttermilk and at a temperature
that will preserve its waxen appear
ance and good flavor.
A bright New York dairyman is out
with the idea that quick churning Is q
result of breeding In the COW that pro-
duces the milk, quite as much as the
mechanical part Of the operation. 1t
Is argued that family characteristics
are impaired from dam to heifer, and
that easy separation of the fats from
the milk is not out of reasonable sup
position at least.
About thirty pounds of ensilage are
needed day for each cow through the
winter, and two or three pounds of
bran and the same quantity of clover
hay twice day. With this ration the
cows will yield good milk and cream
and he very productive, One should
sit down and figure out how much ex-
ira expense and labor this would all
cause, and then decide If he wants to
begin winter dairying.

AN UNCERTAIN HORSE.



"Have / had much hard luckT an
swered follower of the turf to ques-
ton l put to him, writes Dick Dasher
in the Pittsburg Dispatch. well, that
is hardly the way to express II. A
bookmaker usually knows what he Is
doing, but sometimes he gets caught.
The worst luck 1 ever had was at a
meeting at Rushville, Ind. One of the
races en- the day to which have refer
cnce was between four horses. There
was one horse named Sorrel Dan,
whose record and characteristics
knew as well as 1 knew myself. He
was one of those animals that we call
n 'one heat horse;' that is, he was able
to run one heat well, but that was the
end of him. He seemed to exert all
his power in the first heat, and when
called for a second would be in n col
lhpsed condition. A muddy track was
a sure sign that he would run n win
ming heat, but he was never known to
win Il race. Knowing this, | made up
my book and bet 100 to . against his
winning. The great odds attracted Il
great many people who took me up.
Ny first bad luck of that day occurred
when, just before the heat was called,
a heavy shower came up and made the
track quite muddy. | knew the first
heat was a gonei, but did not despair,
as 1t was an impossibility for Dan to
regain strength for the next heat. But
us luck would have IL a heavy rain
storm came up and poured down buck
etfuls, causing postponement of the
heat until the next day.
Il began to fear, but knew that 1t
would be impossible for the horse to
win more than one heat on the NOR
row. The next day it rained all the
morning, making the track just suit
able for Dan to win, and l was not dis
appointed, for he came In first easily.
But bad luck seemed to follow me, for
no sooner had the heat been finished
than the rain came down again. The
next heat was postponed for the next
day. l felt shaly, but knew If the sun
came out and dried the track l would
still have a chance. But fortune frown-
ed on me; for the next day 1t was rain
ing, clearing in time to allow the final
heat to be run. Sorrel Dan again had
things all his own way and thus won
the race. / paid cut my money like

smashed TO smithereens when Mrs.
David Rosenberger, of Kittanning
Pa, diminutive farmers wife, gave
birth to FIVE bouncing babies, at her
home near that borough last week.
The children, all of whom are well
developed and full of animation, are
three girls and two boys. They appear
to be strong, and the attending
physician says that all Of them are
likely to live and grow up. But the

means recovered from his surprise,

THE LEGISLATIVE TICKET.

Vote the ticket from top to bottom. Too | much depends on Democratic House ol | Representatives fer any man to so much as I be indifferent about single one of our | nominees, much less to think about | scratching. A great principle is at stake. Good government, law and order, protec- tion to life and property, the peaceful in- auguration of William c. Oates, the grand leader. Let us lay aside small things, petty preiudices, infinitely little notions, and come together ou move altogether for the solid ticket.
 The AaE-HERALD has laid before the Democrats of this county the facts aud figures from which each man can calculate any chances in this fght-cnn't afford to do it.
 Already men who have been talking care lessly about tue legislative ticket have awakened to the situation. Every man of our ticket stands for law and order-will helpto maintain it at Montgomery, at Bir minghap, everywhere. Let us move to- gether in solid phalanx, not merely for Democracy, but for these higher things which Democracy represents in this fight good government, law and order.
 Alabama expects us to do our duty. We owe it 10 our fellow citizens everywhere, that we shall send, not one or two UT three or four or five Democrats. but six good and true law and order Democrats to the House of Representatives.

Lucy Randolph, who died in this city on the 17th instant, was born in Greene county, Alabama, February 23, 1S69
 In an extensive travel and close observa- tion of half century we have seen vast number of beautiful and otherwise charm ing women; yet, in our opinion, the lovely subject of this brief and necessarily i'm per. feet sketch surpassed them all in what con- stitutes the lovelest attributes of woman hood.
 At the age of IS Lucy Randolph was of faultless form, possessed face of radinnt beauty and presented a countenaDce that beamed with lofty intelligence. She was of commanding height and queeniy grace. Every feature bore the unmisakabie marks of gentle blood and aristocratic lineage. Her native wit, striking originality and never Tagging cheerfulness were strictly sui generis: and her bearing and demeanor towards others were so fascinating as to win for her an extensive circle of friends, regardless of age or sex.
 We first met this remarkable girl when she was just emerging from the slate Of ad oescence and ere the fell and protracted disease that was to sap her youthful life's blood had begun to make its terrible and remorseless ravages upon naturally wig orous constitutions malady that she coa- tended with for many years ere she philo- sophically and gracefully succumbed; an ailment that baffied he utmost know ledge and skill of very many physicians and sur geons both here and elsewhere. What a sad sight for her ardent friends and what beartrending one for her idolizing family was that which witnessed the slow but sure physical decline of this beautiful, attract i've, adorable young woman. She sensihly abandoned all expectation of permanent cure several years ago and calmly, resign ediy, stoically awaited the unrelenting summons of cruel death, who makes uo disiinction between Heoe and Gorgon.
 She bore up under her intense suffering with heroism and foriitude most remark. able, evoking the tender, t!reless care aud solcitude of her devoted parents aud sis ters; the ever increasing affection of friends and the uns:inted admiration of all wno were cognizant of her extrsorii- nary case. The very last act of her noble and generous young life was such as alone entities her 10 the his hest appreciation and profou ndest esteem. It was at her urgent request that an autopsy was held on her remains, as well in behalf of the science of surgery as for the benefit of mankind. She avowed that if thereby the life of nut one person could be saved, she felt amply compensated for he delicate sacrifice she was making by submitting 10 6 pest IF ortem muiilaton.

TWO WEEKS MORE.

Tomorrow two weeks will determine whether William Q. Oates or Reuben F. Kolb shall be Governor of Alabama, the executive of her laws and the preserver of her honor. During these two weeks such fight will wage as Alabama has not seen not even in that famous battle royal of 1874. The great deeps are being upheaved. Never did such crowds come forth to greet the speakers. Never have they listened so patiently to long speeches, so eagerly for the truth, though the orators be weari . some. The people are in earnest. They love Alabama, and they want to do right. They mean to do right, and into hearts and minds thus prepared we have only to pour the logic of truth and patriotism.
 On one side stands the old Democratic party with the ranks of it's old, true lead- CTS unbroken, save where death has reached in his scythe; the old party and the old leaders who redeemed the Stale and gave it honest and economical rule for twenty years; the old party that has stood between the people and ruin, restored the credit of the State, built up her institu- tions and drawn to her great forests and mines capital and enterprise from the re- mote nations of tue earth; the old party that has continually drawn to itself the best blood and brain and patriotism of the young men as they grew to manhood in all these years. On the same side stand law and order, established society, what is best, all that is good Tn our traditions, our history, cur ambitions and our hopes; the security of home, the punishment of fel- ous, resistance to vice, the prayer of the weak.
 What of the other side? The charlatans and adventurers of the hour, men spewed out of their old party, men who have failed in business and politics; fanatics 1, brood of ignorance and prejudice; every bridge burner and midnight torch bearer 1; old carpet baggers and scalawags, rising up and smiling the prey again; every anarchist and socialist; every man whose lean and clammy fingers are itching for ths contents of other peoples pockets. From the armies of the Revolution went not up mightier shout at the sight of Washing ton than goes up from the jails of Ala bama at mention of the-to jail birds sacred name of Jeffersonian Democracy. Like maggots to the carcass of a dead lion, will these swarm to feast upon the body of law and order if, by so much as one vote it can be laid low in the person of William c. Oates.

A MERE sPAsM.

We are just having sort of spasm of misfortune here in Birmingham, that's all. Spasms don't ever last long and they seldom kill. We are certain this one is not going to kill. It's like the boy who had the tooth pulled, "Just before it killed me it came out" For our part, we had rather have all our troubles at once. When they are over, and they will be after Au- gust 6, we are going to have smooth sailing for ten years. There's not the slightest doubt about it. It will take more than strike and panic and half million dollar fire, well insured, to hold down the rich est district on the face of all Gods green earth and the best bottomed town south of Chicago. We can stand a good deal more than that and not even stagger. We just imagine the tooth pulling hurts.

LAW AND ORDER.

The supreme thing with the people of Jefferson county is the re-establishment Of law and order, independent of bayonets aud Gatling guns. These cannot be kept here forever. Permanent peace by that array of force would be as destructive as war, for industry and commerce would both disap- pear before it, wither and decay and be buried. We must have law and order, not merely re- established, but actually and &C., lively maintained by the enduring and all- powerful forces that inhere in good citizen ship. Bad men in this county are in very hopeless minority. Still they have been much spoken of among men, have raised a ar-sounding storm here lately, not be- cause of their numbers, but because they have been acting 10 common purpose and sustained by certain esprit du corps all their own. Good citizenship has been di- vided among itself. politics, interest, friendship for struggling labor, prejudice against corporations pulling this way and that.
 Now, good citizenship Is unifyipg fast, is gathering itself around one over r-shadow- ing, all necessary, supreme and command ing issue-iaw and order. Gone already or rapidly going, gre minor differences. Gcod citizenship and public opinion are one, and it has decreed to have permanent law and order, through moral force if pos- sible, through the actual force of the sherift's posse if necessary.

l AM satisfied from all heard and saw that the most peedful thing for the Demo crats to do is to explain the Sayre election law. The people are being fearfully de- ceivsd and misled about this law. You would be surprised 10 hear tue absurd, yet dangerous representations that mauy of the leading followers of Kolb are circu- lating among the people about the Sayre election law. Why, it is even said that if a voter himself ever mentions after the election how he voted that he wilt be in- dicted for telling how he voted. You would be astonished to what extent this rumor has been circulated. Again, the people have been told if A man fails to register he will be indicted. l merely mention these things to show you how the people are be- ing misiod and deceived.

THE Southern Exchange Association, organized as a result of the recent conven- tion of Southern and Northern business men, will have an agency in each State tp spread information concerning the re- sources and business possibilities of he Souh. The growth of the South from 1889 to 1890, according to the figures gait, v4d by the association, was highly satisfactory. Farm products increased 16 per cent, man uf ures 100 per cent, the value of real and personal property Do per cent, and the pop ulation between 15 and 20 DOT cent. This was accomplished with but little aid from immigration. An effort will be made to obtain share of immigrants and also to attract citizens from the North. The South is in good shape for an era of more rapid development than it has ever known.-St. Louis Glote- Democrat.
