A SAFE S SIS.

There is no branch of American
farming that seems on a more stable
and substantial foundation than the
dairy business. During all commercial
panics the products of the dairy have
held their own with reference to price
better, perhaps, than anything else. 1t
is probably true that taking a series of
years together less variation in the
prices of such products will be noticed
than in anything else the farmer has to
market. The business has, therefore,
the element of safety about it, and has
made the farmers in all great dairy
regions among the most prosperous in
the nation.-Breeder'S Gazette.

EGGS AND INTEREST.

A dozen hens are worth more to q
man than a hundred dollars out on in
terest at 8 per cent and there is but
little risk attached to the ownership of
that many hens, whereas there is 81
ways considerable risk in Ioaning
money in any amount.
Twelve common hens can be bought
for three dollars, and they should lay,
and would lay fifteen hundred eggs in
twelve months, if half way cared for.
Fifteen hundred eggs at one cent each.
which is a very modest estimate, or
average would be fifteen dollars for
their eggs in twelve months, or five
times what the hens would COST.
We know from experience that hens
can be kept in comparatively close
yards, where two thirds of what they
get to eat is bought and fed to them, at
a cost of about four cents each per
month, or say fifty cents q year. On
this basis it would take six dollars
worth of feed to keep the twelve hens
in laying condition for a year, leaving
a net balance Of nine dollars to the
credit of their keeper, or three hundred
per Ger t. net profi5 on the three dollars
investment.
So much for eggs. Now, let a man
buy a rooster and two hens, and just
let the hens lay and sit. Suppose he
should begin now, in July. The hens
would surely lay and hatch one brood
of chickens each during the autumn.
Say twenty chickens from the two
hens. They would again certainly lay
and hatch each three broods more, be-
ginning with next spring, by the time
the year would be up, making forty
chickens per hen, or eighty chickens
from the two. Less one-fourth loss
from sickness or accident, leaving sixty
young chickens as the increase in
twelve months, worth twenty five
cents each, CT SIS Which, less fifty

rich says he figured it out that he got
a return of 81 for every dollar he paid
for the meal he fed while the COWS
were at pasture.
If a little comfort is good for the
COW, you can rest assured that a good

the good work by keeping her IN the

warm days in winter. The RWr0t NeW
Yorker sent inquiries to a number OF
noted dairymen to know what they
thought of keeping cows up all WINTER
or. as the inquirer put it, from De-
cember to April 18TH" Each and every
one answered that such was their prac-
tics, and none of them allowed the air
in the stable to aver get down to the
freezing point. The stable was kept
warm by the heat coming from the
cows bodies; the air kept pure by the
use of good bedding and busting either
with plaster or road dust, Whitewash-

CoMFOR rs OF COWS.

Mr.. L. 8. Hardin says, in Home and
Farm, that on the subject Of comfort
for COWS as a profitable investment the
Indiana Experiment Station has settled
that beyond argument. The only point
remaining to fix in the mind is what
constitutes comfort for the COW within
the radius of profitable dairying. To
those who are not familiar with the
handling of herds that yield in the
neighborhood of 800 pounds of butter
per head a year, the sight of such
stable work would look to them very
much like coddling the COWS. Perhaps
there is something of this where the
COWS are carded or rubbed down every
morning and the bedding carefully
tucked in behind them at night. In
deeGit is very hard to make COWS do
their best unless you are fond of them
and are willing to waste a little extra
energy in taking are of them, but one
thing must always be kept in mind in
handling cows, and that is every extra
mound of care or feed will be returned

An exchange observes: 'WhaG a

Europe every year over 81, 600, 900 to

be kept here, as our American cheese
is fully as good as any that can be
made in Europe" All quite correct,
but a goodly portion of that money
goes for fancy brands, some of which
our own country is capable of pro-
ducing. The wonder is that cheese

A DAIRY SYNDICATE.

A dairy syndicate just formed at
Sherman has purchased sixteen of the
largest creameries in Chautauqua and
Cattaragus counties and the adjoining
counties of northern P~ennysvania. The
combination will control the milking
of 1000 COWS, the annual yield of which
will be 10, 900, 900 quarts of milk, from
which 100000 pounds of butter will be
produced.-Farmers' Journal.
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1895-07-16

The majority of farmers should de-
pend upon raising their own dairy
stock. This should be done more
cheaply than COWS could be bought,
especially at the present time. And
the advantage is that the heifers can be
raised in a proper manner and adapted
to the farm, which could not come from
frequent changes in ownership.

North Carolina Without a Legislative
Body--What's to be Done1

RALEIGH, N. O., June 10.
Hon. f. I Osborne, Attorney General:
DEAR SIR:-I respectfully ask your
attention to case of IN re Martin, Goth
N. G. Reports. Therein it seems to
have been held that the acceptance of
one position of trust or profit would
vacate any other Office of trust or
profit held by the party accepting.
Hon. J. E, Bryan was a member of
the late General Assembly from Chat
ham. He was appointed by said As
sembly on a committee to investigate
the claims of Mrs. P. D. B Arlington
He qualified as such committeeman by
attending meetings of the committee
on the 14th, 18th and 10Th days of
March. Since that date he has taken
the oath of office as a director of the
~penitentiary under the law passed by
the recent Assembly, and, claiming to
be a member of said board, is suing for
the same, as I am informed by Mr.. W.
Fl. Day. Does this taking the oath and
claiming, to the extent of bringing suit,
operate to vacate his positions as mem
Der of the General Assembly, and,
therefore, of the committee of the As
sembly to investigate the Arlington
m9ttars9
An early reply is specially requested.

CHARLOTTE. n. c., June 25.
Hon. r NJ. Furman, Auditor, Raleigh,
N. c.:
DEAR SIR: Enclosed you will find
your letter of June 10 b with reference
to the case of the Hon. J, E Bryan.
In reply to the questions therein con
tanned, l have the honor to say. by
virtue of section z, Article IA of the
State Constitution, no one can hold two
offices or places of trust or profit at the
same time. 1t is well settled law, if
while holding one Office one accepts
another, the act of acceptance vacates
the one which he holds. Taking the
oath required by the Constitution is a
well recognized method of accepting
an Office. A member of the Legislature
is an officer within the meaning of this
section, and so is a director of the pen
itentiary, Mr.. ] E Bryan being at the
time a member of the Legislature,
qualified by taking the oath as a direc-
tor of the penitentiary, having been
appointed to the last Office by the last
Legislature. His taking the oath was
an acceptance of the office of director,
and must of necessity vacate his office
as legislator, and as a member of the
committee to which you allude. do
not see how there can be any doubt
about the conclusion.
Very respectfully,

Attorney General.
The above correspondence is impor-
tant, because it affects numbers of
State officers and many members Of
the Legislature.
If Attorney General Osborne has
rightly construed section z, Article IA
of the State Constitution, new elections
for State Senators must be held in six
teen or Senatorial districts, and
elections must be held to fill the va
cancies caused by one third or more
members of the Lower HOUSE holding
two offices.

eral is correct, is without a sufficient

matum that the damnable amendments

ter must be accepted or the entire
charter would be repealed. He gave
the Alliance representatives only one
hour to accept or reject this Infamous
compromise.
The Democrats seemed determined
to make the insult as obnoxious ard
aggravating as possible to all true Al
liancemen. Had S. L Patterson never
affiliated with the Alliance his action
in 1892 would have made him obnox-
ious to every member of our Order, but
having once been an active member of
a Sub Alliance, and, like Carr and
Beddingfield, deserted his comrades
and joined the enemy, his action
against the Alliance made him despised
