now and then flavor of the best, and of all textures and combination of wa ter and buttermilk. It is traded for goods at the store at the same price, the worst sold as axle grease and the best used as food, cooked or uncook- ed. Then comes the private dairy man with butter of good but often un- even quality, and in the fullness of time, the creamery. The creamery is usually built in the new dairy sec tions by the promoter at a round price, subscribed and paid for by men who know little about the al1-impor- tant questions of the breeding of the dairy COW, her feeding and care, and of the proper methods of caring for the milk Disappointment usually fol- lows, and in due time the business falls into the hands of the farmers who have the know how," who put brains into their work, and then il becomes the most reliable and profit able business of the section, if it be a dairy section.
 In the selection of COWS for dairy purposes, you should not initiate Iowa. With us the profitable COW is the COW that will give from 200 to 300 pounds of butter fat per year and a calf that will top the market. With you in any part of the mountain sec tions the most profitable COW will prove to be the Jersey or the Hol- stein. The Jersey has no beef quail ties whatever; her male calves not needed for breeding purposes should be killed on sight. The Holstein calves may be kept until they are good veal and the surplus males then sold. You cannot in this coun " grow calves by hand in competition with the range calf. What you need here is the special purpose dairy COW. You should feed her on alfalfa, on bran and oats, or barley.
 You should not bother with one that will give you less than 200 pounds of butter fat equal to 23O pounds of butter per year. You should begin first with private dairying, sell ing the product direct to the gro- ceries and individuals in the towns, mines, or cities. Where fifteen COWS or more are kept on the farm, the hand separator should be used and the skim milk fed to heifer calves or pigs. When private dairying has be come common in any community, the creamery system may be adop,e to save the labor of individual churn- ing and establish a brand from that neighborhocd that can always be de- pended upon.-Extract from a paper read before the Stockgrowers' con- yention by Henry Wallace.

THE DAIRY INTERESTS.
\ Only Spots in the Western Country
 Suitable for the Business.

I accepted your kind and courteous invitation, to prepare paper fer this convention on the dairy interests with a mild form of fear and trembling. l feared if I would tell you the truth about the dairy interests in Iowa and other eastern states you might look on me in light similar to that with which a native Texan once regarded my friend, Judge Grant of Iowa. He made a visit to Texas shorty after the war and stopped over night at a hotel in a small town. He was an early riser, and while taking a walk i1 the morning before breakfast he discov,- cred native of the Lone S,ar state milking a cow After patient and long continued efforts, permitting the calf once in awhile to bunt, th D choking 1t off, and pulling the teats for dear life, he secured about quart of blue milk My friend,' said the judge, ''is that all the milk you get from that cow?" The native said that tha, was more than usual. Why. sir" said the judge, q have a COW that will fill three-gallcn pail night and morning with milk twice as rich as that; cream, sir, in comparison with yours" Where might you be from?" asked the native. From Iowa." respond d the judge. "Well,' said the Texan, during the war there %~a regiment of those Iowa fellows around these parts and they were the biggest liars that ever struck this country. Might you be the co-onel of thal regime ent?'
 I might tell you that we have COWS in Iowa thzt give 300 pounds of but ter fat equal to 345 pounds of bu -fer each year; that we have CD en,ire nerd Cf twenty five hea1 that has averaged that amount, if not more, for l1>re years past; that we have a ShOrthoIn COW at the agricultural col lege that for seventy coHseau i've days made pound and half of butter per day, and that this cows ca,v5s, fed on skim milk, then finished, top the cattle marke. in Chicag2 without fail.
 I could tell you all this With the strictest and most exact truth, and yet if I were to do so 7nd stop tn re, leaving you to infer that this was the common yield, or one easily atcained, I would lead you astray nest wofully.

RESULT OF ALGER'S
 INSPECTION TOUR Will Combine Division and Regi-
 mental Hospitals. SEPARATION OF SOLDIERS Who Have Been Thrown Together in the Same Company Causes Dis
 content and Encouragement
 The Secretary Plans.
SEPARATION OF SOLDIERS

Washington, September 29-Important re- suits are likely to follow the extensive tour of inspection of the military camps just completed by Secretary Alger and es- pecially in the matter of reorganizing the hospital service in the field. The secre- tary conferred closely with not only the commanding officers and medical officers at the camps, but especially with the fif- teen colonels whom he met, looking to the ascertainment of their views upon the rel ative merits of the division hospital and the regimental hospital. Each had strong ad- vocates and it remained for the secretary to endeavor to reconcile their divergent views.
 The defect of the division hospital in the minds of the soldiers is the separation of soldiers of the same regiment, causing great discontent, low spirits and discour- agement. The men will often go to great lengths to coGcaA, real illness in order to escape being sent to the division hospital. Against the regimental hospitals tt Is urged that the men cannot be properly taken care or with troops on the mev5 with no female nurses and with a lack of every sanitary and medical device that modern practice has come to regard as essential No where were the complaints of neglect and insufficient accommodation for the sick so numerous as in the cases of these regi- mental hospitals in the early stages of the war. Many of the objectionable features Of these can be removed in time of peace as at present when the troops are not sub ject to sudden changes of location as when in the field of war.
 After a thorough examination of the rela- tive merits and merits of two plans, Secre- tary Alger has framed project which he now has under consiGs, ation for the amal- gamation of the hospitals in such manner as to retain the most desirable features of both. His plan is to have the division hos pital arranged in sections of tents, lying in wings, branching off from a central aisie These can be very easily made by the use of a few flies and a proper connection of tho common "A" tents Then the sections are to be allotted to the different regiments in the division, each in care of one of the regimental doctors, yet receiving the atten- tion of tho high-class talent and female nursing, which is possible only in the big division hospitals. In this way the men could preserve the individuality of their commands, and the idea may be carried out so far as to sub-divide the sections into smaller sections, assigning to each company in the regiment and thus enabling the sick men to make sure of falling in with their intimates when they go to the hospital. Secretary Alger believes that the soldiers would thus be reconciled to going to the division hospitals, where they can secure the best of food and luxuries, lie alongside of their companions and receive the benefits of laundries. kitchens, etc.

NO SUCCESSOR TO
 WINNIE DAVIS Claims of Miss Lucy Lee Hill Call Forth Protest. DAUGHTER OF ROBT. E. LEE Should Have the Honor of Being Called the Daughter ofthe Confeder-
 acy" If Any Receives
 the Title.
DAUGHTER OF ROBT. E. LEE

Washington, September 29.-(Special)- The nominal appointment by the Chicago confederate veterans and the same action taken in Kentucky and in Birmingham four years ago, of Miss Lucy Lee Hill, as the daughter of the confederacy, to suc- ceed the late lamented Winnie Davis, has called forth most vehement protest in this city and in Richmond among the confed- crate veterans, the memorial societies, sons of veterans and in private cnc.es.
 The ground taken is that 1t is not possi- ble for any one to succeed Miss Davis, the circumstances of her birth and percentage establishing her claim exclusively to the title. Miss Davis was the only woman born in the confederate white house, she alone could enjoy the honor, the magic ti- tie. given her first by General John B. Cor don. of Georgia. It was suggested if there was to be another daughter of the con- federacy Mrs. Hayes, the older daughter of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, should have the title.
 If she should be opposed by reason of
 
 the fact that she is married, 1t is suggest ed that Miss Mildred Lee, daughter of General Robert E. Lee, should have the honor. Some of General Gordon's admirers here have suggested Miss Caroline Gordon, on the ground that she is the daughter of the grand commander of the United Con- federate veterans. The daughters of the confederacy in Virginia, the society which was named in honor of Miss Davis, will soon be called together by Mrs. Norman V. Randolph, wife of Major Randolph. who was chief marshal of the funeral process sion incident to the burial of Miss Winnie Davis, for the purpose of making protest against the appointment of any one to suc- ceed the real daughter of the confedera:y The title was first bestowed on Miss Hill in Birmingham four years ago.

DEPRIVED OF POWER.
Edhem Pasha Recalled From the Island
 of Crete.

Candid, Isle of Crete, September 29.-Ed- hem Pasha, the Turkish governor who is chiefly blamed for the recent rioting here, has been deprived of the governorship and started for Smyrna today.
 The delays and subterfuges in complying with the orders of Admiral Noel, the Brit ish commander in these waters, increase. The Turkish authorities have ceased sur rendering arms and are pretending that the disarmament has been completed. The British officers propose to search suspected houses. They have discovered that many of the men surrendered to Admiral Noel as r.ngleaders of the rioting are innocent, while the guilty are still at liberty.
 detachment of 800 British blue jackets was paraded through the town today.
 Djevado Pasha, the local Turkish mil- tary commander, has consented to remove the Turkish troops to the suburbs.

triotic devotion and valor of our brave sol- diers and sailors, who have honored the American people and heightened the lustre of our national fame. The scandalous abuse by the president of his power of appoint ment in scattering army commissions among inexperienced and incompetent civ- ilians as rewards to personal favorites and almost to the exclusion of experienced offi- cers in the service, Is largely accountable for the fearulf suffering and the appalling loss of life among the gallant soldiers that have brought disgrace upon the administra- tion and sense of shame to the nation. democratic congress will, if chosen by the people, rigidly investigate the conduct of the war and expose and punish all who may be responsible for the unnecessary deaths, privations and sufferings of the soldiers

We denounce all attempts to evade the burden of taxation upon per- sonal property by pretended changes of res idencd or otherwise Under the constitu- tion and laws of our state, eligibility to public offices and liability to personal taxa tion both depend upon long residence. If the affidavit and official statements of the republican candidate for governor are true, he is ineligible to the office of governor; if false, he has committed perjury, and is morally disqualified He cannot escape from his dilemma-there is legal disquali1- cation moral unfitness.'
 When the reading of the platform was completed, Delegate Pierce, of Monroe, att tempted to speak on the silver question, but was ruled out of order. The chairman an- nounced that nominations for the office of governor were in order. When Cahuquata was called, MT. M. z. Haven, of Syracuse, named James K. Mcclure, mayor of Syra- cuse. He said:
