ShaWsVilIe Letter.

SHAwsvILLE, Oct. 2S.-A fair and supper
will be held at Dry Branch NJ. p. Church next
week, commencing on Tuesday, November
9Th and continuing until Friday evening, in
elusive. variety of choice fancy articles
will be for sale at moderate prices, and the
suppers will be such as have rendered the la
dies of Ayres' Chapel so well and favorably
known. Oysters in every style in quality and
quantity to suit. The fair will open each day
at four O'Clock in the afternoon. Ice cream
and confectionery i'll abundance.
The extreme dryness of fodder at the pre-
sent writing has been the cause of two acct
dents in the vicinity of Shawsvile, which may
prove more or less serious. Mr.. Frank Street,
while engaged in tying bundle of fodder a
few days ago, ran a blade stalk into his eye,
cutting it severely and causing it to swell SO
as to close it entirely. Mr.. Frank Wilson
met with a like accident, although not seri
ous
Mr.. William Gemmll is lying very i'll at his
residence, near Ayres' Chapel.
The efforts made by the Republicans to de-
feat Mr.. Preston, and the reasons offered by
them for the necessity of his defeat would at
any other time be laughable. The cause of
their hostility, boiled down to its origin, is,
that Mr.. Preston is Democrat. This is sufli-
cient with some partisans to brand him as all
that is evil He has made capable and faith
full officer and well deserves reelection. 1t
seems singular, to say the least, that a con-
vention, supposed to be composed of repre-
sentatives of political party elected as dele
gates from each district in the county, should
solemnly declare that there was no temper
ance lawyer in the county and that they
would consequently make no nomination;
and that shortly after few men, six in num-
Der, all of whom, If we are rightly informed,
are Republicans, should suddenly find out
that if they allowed their ticket to be voted
without candidate upon it for States At
torney, a hated Democrat may stand chance
for election and should proceed to stultify
the action of their delegated body by asking
candidate if he would promise to do certain
things if they endorsed him. "a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet, aud wheth-
er they call themselves Republicans or Prohi-
bitionists, the intention is the same, viz, to
throw their handful of votes to the Republi
can scandidate, fondly hoping thatit maybe the
balance of power. Democrats, do not allow
yourselves to be guled by the promises of a
young political aspirant, or any rery remark
able papers emanating from VanBibber or
elsewhere, but vote your ticket in its entirety
and bequeath to your posterity the rich lega-
cy of freedom and supremacy which your fa-
theirs gave you. Vote the ticket without cut.
Invitations have been issued for the marri-
age of Mr.. Charles NJ. Pearce and Miss Estele
NJ. Payne. The wedding will take place at
McKendree next WedD esday. CLAY.

patents often expire or are declared in

whether the sewing machine or any one
of three or four other patented devices
made the most money, but all the ex-

money made on telephones by far exceeds
that on anything else.

The Gentle Bulldog.

In order TO prove the docility of the
bulldog, the South London Bulldog So
ciety, which Is holding show at the
Royal aquarium, has Gagged one large
dog with small cat, and the pair get
along together with perfect amity, and
tho cot is not inside the dog either.
Nevertheless we fear the effort Is in
vain. Until they can breed a new kind
of bulldog, with different kind Of face

still credit him with fearful amount

WHAT 1T COSTS TO KEEP A cow.


WHAT IT COSTS TO KEEP A cow.
A New England farmer with milk
dairy, and years of experience on which
To base an opinion, asserts that the care
and attention rendered TO herd Is worth
cents per iay per COW. In addition to
this. he estimates depreciation In value
OF individual cows, averaging the young
and old ones together. at cent per COW.
To this ne tacks on IL cent per day per
COW To cover interest and taxes, making
the amount for the items named l-2
cents per day per COW.
This man has twenty cows in his herd
and made an experiment last winter AS
To where he WAS at financially. Inc
trial covered period OF fourteen days,
and proved that he was supporting his
herd at an expense of more than 81 per
day over the returns that the milk yield
supplied.
Incidentally II may be stated that the
COWS are credited with , l-2 cents per
day for MANURE and this amount is de-
Quoted from the 6 l-2 cents previously
named, leaving cents as the impera-
lively necessary sum that COW must
earn over the cost of her ration To be
maintained without loss 10 her owner.
In the trial this man made with his
herd the cost of the dairy ration was
fraction In excess of - cents per COW,
while the value Of the average milk yield
i put at trifie over - cents per COW
per dsy. The loss Is about cent per day
for each COW, which, added 10 the 1
cents reserved for care and attention,
increases il to small fraction over .
cents.
OF course this man moans about the
lack OF success. but IL he possessed a
knowledge of compouuding foods so as
feed intelligently he would have revers-
ed the situation. The cost of his daily
ration exceeded by liberal margin

best calculated for butter msking, and
p.rhaps the cows were also of that type,
instead of the milk machines which WAS

AN INCOME TAX coNUNDRUM.
A Knotty Question Under Discussion b
the Treasury Department Officials.

A Knotty Question Under Discussion by
the Treasury Department Ofiicials.
A very knotty question has arisen in
the preparation of the income tax regu-
iations now under consideration by Sec
rotary Carlisle and COMMISSIONS Mil
Ter. 1t is at what point in the salary OF
United States official the income tax
should be collected. Government dis
bursting officers are held responsible fol-
the collection Of the income tax on sal.
aries paid out by them. Does the law
contemplate taxing the salary per SO Oh
the person who receives it?
Only salaries above 81, 900 are taxa
BILE. A case has been put where If the
salary is, say, 5000 per year, and the
drawer of it dies after six months, the
government receives no income from II
unless the disbursing officer takes out
the tax pro rata monthly. At this point
the difficulty is encountered that the
drawer Of the salary has not received
over 81, 900, and therefore no income
tax has accrued. II the drawer Of an
$S, 900 salary dies or resigns after re-
ceiving slightly less than haE of the
yearly salary, should the new appointee
pay an income tax ont Of his little more
than half Of the IS, 900 or only on what
he himself draws?
1t does not seem to strike the treasury
officials as fair that one man should pay
an income tax ON part of the salary
drawn by another. and yet If such an
amount were drawn SO, 300 by one and
q, 100 by another man by holding the
latter responsible for the income tax on
the salary he draws on the excess over
the "a, 900 the government would re-
ceive only per cent on 500. Was this
idea contemplated by tho law? The same
principle applies to all cases of salaries

How the Prince Of Wales Wet BiaoketeA
a Proposed Demonstration.

Proposed Demonstration.
The Prince of Wales. after four weeks
wandering, returned home from Russia
looking, for him. very loan. but withal
hale and fit. as is his customary appear
ance. There had been some preliminary
talk Of giving him great popular vel
come, such rs that accorded to Lords
Beaconsfield and Salisbury when they
returned from the Berlin conference
bringing with them. as the former dra-
matically declared, Peace with honor.
Il was suggested that the prince per
formed service 10 the country equally
great by bringing about good under
standing between England and Russia.
Strange to say, the Tory newspapers,
from the great Times downward, ap-
plauded this silly idea. and clubiand
set about organizing demonstration.
The prince heard nothing of this nm
til he reached Paris on the way home.
Then ho telegraphed to London express
ing his annoyance at the scheme,
which was not only indecorons in view
of the sad duties from which he was re-
turning but imputed to him AN inter
ference with the ordinary course OF di-
plomacy that was at variance with his
inclinations and destructive OF that po'
sition of neutrality as heir to the throne
which he has always sought to main
tain, like the tactful man Of the world
which he undoubtedly is. Word was
therefore sent round. with the result
that his wishes were respected as far as
demonstration within the railway sta
ton by the aristocracy was concerned.
There were plenty Of notables present,
but not more than dozen persons were
allowed on the reserved platform, and
all contented themselves with bowling
profoundly as the prince entered his
closed carriage A pretty big crowd,
mainly bourgeoisie. had collected outside
the station, and there was good deal
of cheering but as demonstration 1t
was failure, as it deserved to be. The
Prince Of Wales is too sensible man
to desire that sort of thing, for he knows
it is calculated to provoke counter dis
plays aud make him an object OF con-
tention among rival parties and con-
ficting factions. London Cor. New

A noted stock feeder writing for the
Breeders Gszette recommends the using
of little chafIed hay with highly con-
rated meal feeds when fed to the
stock. This fine cut hay, he claims, pro-
duces a healthy excitation of the stom-
ach and thus promotes digestion and
ramination. Try it, you who are paying
for bran twenty-five per cent more than
its food value. Throw In like measure
of fine cut hay with dish Of cotton seed

The ice crop of Maine is promising to
prove an indirect advantage TO Maine
dairymen, as well as crop OF great
money value 10 the ice harvesters. In a
large portion of the butter factory terri
tory OF the East, there has been no har-
vest of ice whatever among the farmers.
and those who are raising cream by the
deep setting process find themselves In a
dilemma as warm weather approaches.
and will not Of course be able to raise
their cream by the usual methods. Some
will sell their cows, a few are so situat-
ed as to be able to turn their milk into
cheese, while still others are considering
the propriety Of putting in the centrifl-
gal separator. At any rate, the supply
of eastern creamery butter will be cut
short in measure, and our dairymen,
with their usual facilities and surround
ings complete, will realize benefit
from it.-Maine Farmer.

nA1 AAY on GRAIN AND STRAW

.OaT HAY. OR GRAIN AND STRAW
Many dairymen cut their grain crops
last summer before fully ripe and are
using il unthreshed for fodder. We
we're In a barn few days since where
there were eighteen or twenty tons OF
such fodder the owner WAS feeding TO
COWS in milk. This fodder in drying
had change In color so that the straw
anpeared in no way different from well
cared for oat straw from which the grain
had been threshed. The question arose
in mind whether the straw portion OF
that fodder was worth any more for
having been few days earlier cut. Oi
course. lust how much the untitled grain
In il added 10 its value does not appear
and is difficult 10 determine.
In our own barns we have AT this time
some ten tons of early cut ost hay, and
also large lot of well saved oat straw
from which the grain has been threshed.
The stock eat the straw with just as
good a relish as they do the other. Oh
course we have no means of measuring
the exact amount of nutrition digested
our Of these two folders. But SO long
as the oat straw is eaten as readily and
as clean as the other we are forced to the
conclusion that we are getting more
stock food from the straw and the grain
taken from il than than from the earlier
cut oat hay. In case, however, the
threshing was inconvenient and posi-
bly expensive in the extreme, as with
some farmers is the case, then the great
or value of the straw and oats might be
fully balanced by increased cost.
Thus there are always problems to
study ia connection with the feeding ol
stock.-Maine Farmer.
