The method that has finally commend
ed itself as the one which is best in
dairying is tn have the cows caiya in

pioneers in this country will have t. be
changed if the present day farmer OK
poets to make any money, and the Gus
tom of having tho cows come fresh in
spring is one of them.
Winter dairying pays best.
To succeed in winter dairying the
farmer should raise all the feed he pos
sibly can On his own land. This saves
buying Good land in the east is too
valuable to pasture any more
One successful dairyman suggests that
farmers should carry their milk to a

year, either TO butter factory or to ice
cream makers and private customers.
With tho skimmilk left from sending
the cream to the butter factory pigs can
be fed and partially fattened, with the
addition Of some bran. meal or mid

WARRINGTON, Sept. 10 j. K. johnson,
secretary Of the Atlanta exposition com.
mission for the oolored people Of the Die
trict Of Columbia, has written an open let
ter to the exposition authorities in Al.
lanta protesting against the granting Of q
concession for the sale OF cheap whisky in
the negroes building Mt the exposition
johnson says in part: THE entire
commission having in charge the exhibit
of the colored people from the city OF
Washington are surprised and chagrined
TO learn that after all Of it's work to pro-
cure for your exposition u good display
the articles collected must be placed In al
exposition groggers
1.-The whole management must have
known that where you crowd together
a. IL IL hoped to do at Atlanta--thousand
of colored people Of all classes In cheap
bar room trouble is bound to ensue, per
haps in the shape of murder, or lynching.
If this concession must stand then you
ought not to expect the white and colored
press OF the country TO induce our people
to so to the exposition. On the contrary
every respectable and influential newspa-
per will vigorously advise the colored peo-
pie TO remain away"

Dunraven Refuses to Sail the Third Race,
Defender Going Alone.
NEW YORK, Sept. l3.-The international
series between the Defender and the Val
kyrie for the Americas cup is ended. On
the whole IL was an extraordinary series,
and while the result is satisfactory to the
American people, two at least Of the con-
tests that went TO make up the match
were not. The Defender won In q clean
race on Saturday; on Tuesday last she
crossed the line behind the English boat
yesterday she had walk-over. And
yesterdays occurrence was all the more
unfortunate, not only because . great
crowd had gathered to witness the strug-
gle, but because the weather conditions
were such as to lead many to suppose that
of all days the Valkyrie would be in her
element. But Lord Dunraven had said
phatically-that he would withdraw his
boat on the morrow, II an absolutely clear
course was not provided.
He claimed that during the previous
race his boat had been greatly interfered
with, and as everything depended upon
the outcome of the third race he adhered
TO that decision so closely that the Val
kyrie merely crossed the starting line and
then retired from the contest. The De-
fender, who was well in advance when the
handicap gun was fired continued on her
journey and went over the course well
within the time limit.
BY her three straight victories the De
fender retains the historic cup for Amer
