cannon in the little town which had
done service both in the Revolution
and in the War of 1912. Several days
before the fourth the ladies of the
place boiled hams, roasted sucking
pigs whole, baked pies by the dozen
and biscuits by the hundred, made all
manner of cake generously filled with
jam, and ON the morning of the great
day deposited the good things with the
proprietor of the best tavern of the
town. 1t was the province of that i'm
portant man to feed all the men and
boys of the place and surrounding
country with the provender supplied
by their wives and daughters. Huge
tables. rough but solid, were set on the
village green, as there were no build

commodate such great congregation
of people. Early in the morning the
young men OF the place had fired Off
the cannons two or three times, as Of

Our forefathers of three generations

of celebrating the glorious fourth than
the advanced and cultured urchin OF

his dear old Uncle Samuel. Perhaps
If the bold signers Of the declaration

what they were infiicting upon poster
lty they might have paused before az
fixing their signatures to that noble
document. Contrasted with the violent
celebration of this rp-to-date age, the
fourth of July of sixty, seventy or one
hundred years ago presents peaceful
picture of hearty patriotism more in
keeping with the real sentiment of the
event than the present clustering fash

How They Fight the Liquor Evil in

In Hamlet's fatherland the police
have invented rather peculiar, but
effective, method of preventing ex
cesses by habitual drunkards. Any
inebriate found in the street is hustled
into a cab, taken to the police station
and locked up until he has grown
sober. Then he is taken to his home
also In cab by the police and his rela.
tives are warned not to have this hap
pen again. Next a bill is made out
for the repeated transportation Of the
tippler and presented for payment to
the saloonkeeper who sold the offend.
ing drunkard the last glass Of beer,
wine or other liquor. This bill IS some
times quite considerable, and refusal
to pay 1t renders the saloonkeeper
liable to punishment. OF course all
saloonkeepers are very careful in con.

Mr., C. 2 Goodrich gave before the Wis
cousin Dsirymeu's Association review Of
the yields Of the cove OF various sizes that
entered the World fair test The couclu
sion be arrives at is that 1t IS not the largest
or the smallest COW that gives the largest
yield for the amount OF food consumed,
but medium sized cows Of the breed they
represent. This held true not only for the
butter but for the cheese test. This con
olusion agrees with what appears TO be
logical deductions. The COWS Of extreme
size are those having q tendency for
growth, representing the extreme limits Of
their breeds, departing the widest from
its type Of COW. Those animals Of dairy
breed having tendency to produce meat,
converting their food over into frame and
its packing, probably represent those hsv

A writer in the Orange Judd Farmer
after discussing the necessity OF regular
and convenient water supply in pastures
explains his method Of providing 1t:
"On my farm the water is piped from
the barn well to the pasture and al auto
matte float valve keeps the supply exactly
equal to the demand. These float valves
can be bouhgt at any hardware store. As
the surface is lowered the valve opens and
permits water to run 10 from the storage
tank until the drinking trough is filled
Distant pastures can be supplied with q
well, windmill and tank There are three
ways TO manage such a combination. Have
some one TO see that the tank Is always
supplied with water and to start and stop
the windmill whenever necessary; or have
return pipe to conduct the overflow
water back into the well,i which case the
windmill may run ell the time; or have
the mill supplied with an automatic reg
ulator.
The last method is decidedly the best.
1t saves travelling 10 and fro and uDneces
ssry wear OF mill and pump, 1t does
away with the mudhole which results
from letting the water run over the top OF
the tank. The regulator Is little cast
iron machine which, when the tank is fol
stops the windmill. As soon rs water lie
taken out it throws the mill in gear and
holds it there until the VIVID blows and
The tank is filled to the level for which the
regulator is SET The mill which supplies

MR.. cRISP'S GREAT SPEECH.

By invitation Hon, Chas. F. Crisp
spoke before the two houses of the Geor-
gia legislature Wednesday night on the
political issues of the day.
1t was a notable occasion. The dis
tinguished Georgian spoke for two bours,
combining himself exclusively TO the finan
cial question and coming out emphatical-
ly for bimetallism-th free coinage of
both gold and silver-and asserting that
the United States, with her seventy
millions of people, was sufficiently power
full to establish bimetallism the world
over BE cited the fact that the mere
passage of free coinage bill by the
United States senate several years ago
had caused the bullion value of silver in
London to advance % cents an ounce in
ten days, and held that the rehabilitation
of silver by the United States would re-
establish it in this and all other coun>
tries
Another telling point in Judge Crisp's
speech, with proofs to sustain it, was the
declaration that the democratic party
had always been for the free coinage of
silver, and that those who have welded
themselves to the gold standard are no
longer democrats. The trouble, lie said.
was that Massachusetts, Pennsylvania
and other strong republican states dicta-
ted the making of democratic platforms
without contributing any votes towards
electing the men placed upon them.
Hereafter he believed, and rightfully.
too, chat the democrats who elect the
president should make the platform.
The entire speech was on practical.
aggdmentative lines, just as Judge Crisp
speaks on all occasions. 1t was by far
the ablest and most logical exposition
OF the financial question that has vet
been made in this state, and will do
