HOT WEATHER DAIRY PRECAUTIONS
rainted MIX Attributable to Overhcatins &
of Cows.

Tainted MIX Attributable to overhcatins
of Cows.
Shade in pastures. either from trees
or sheds, is essential in midsummer to
keep the COWS from becoming feverish-
ly over-heated to the detriment of the
quality of the milk. During my dairy
experience 1 have encountered great
deal of tainted milk directly attribut-
able TO the over-heating of COWS. Keep
them as cool as possible and remove
all exciting factors. such as driving
them to and from the pasture with
dogs, etc
When II comes TO the care of milk,
hot weather has no terrors for dairy
man fully prepared and willing to In
telligently combat its deleterious eff
fects. The hotter the weather the
more prolonged should be your appli-
cation of hot water in sterilizing milk
utensils. Placing the tin milk pans,
pals and cans In the sun after wash
ing was formerly thought 10 have no
more influence than simply to dry
them Now II is known that following
rigorous scalding a thorough sun bath
OF all dairy utensils destroys any lurk-
ing bacteria that might quickly pro-
pagate and ruin milk quality. Ill
smells about a COW stable multiply
with amazing rapidity during the heat
ed term. With cows milked there
twice day It means a dangerous men
ace to milk. If you cannot keep the
atmosphere of your stable as sweet
smelling as that of your pasture. milk
the COWS In the pasture every time.
Attend TO the care of milk as soon
as IL has been drawn from the cow.
To let it stand about in pals to wait
convenience is dangerous; 10 dump
hundred pounds or more OF it freshly
millIed into n narrow can rs pernicious.
Milk should always be aeratcd and
cooled sufficiently TO keep II fresh 12
hours before il is ever stored In bulk.
No better way can be devised for taint-
ing fresh milk quickly and effectually
than by plunging a vessel of ii into
cold water The resulting taint is
commonly spoken OF as smothered
milk. Ii you do not possess Ice you
should wet down the floor and walls
of you dairy room several times day
with cold water. This will material
ly aid in keeping the atmosphere Of the
partment cool and sweet even during
the hottest days

Synod Echoes.
After the Synod-the bills.


The Synod closed, formally on Fri
day night, at 12 o'clock. Nearly all
the ministers and delegates left on
special train at 7:3O Saturday morn
ing.
Strong and hearty resolutions were
passed by the Synod in praise and APP
probation of Tazewell S hospitality.
One OF the most whole souled men
of the Synod was DIR. f. T. McFaden,
of Iynchburg. lie is young, vigorous
and hopeful, and a man of many parts.
We had the pleasure of meeting DIR.
Smith. editor of the Central Prosbyter-
ian, one of the strongest religious pa
pers in the South. Or. Smith breaches
to a larger audience every week than
any other ministsr in the Synod ,andit is
good preaching too.
The hospitality of Tazewell people,
which is proverbial, was never more
beautiful or hearty than during the
Synod. Every body seemed to take a
pride in entertaining their distinguish
ed visitors.
Among all the ministers who preach
ed during the Synod, only one, SO far
as we could learn, spoke from manu-
script. The day of long manuscripts in
the pulpit is passing, and it ought 10.
Governor Tyler left Tazewell on Fri
day for Radford, where Mrs. Tyler join
ed him, and they proceeded to Rich
mond, arriving on Saturday night.
During the Synod an interesting let
ter was received and read from Rev. l.
n. NafT, who organized the Presbyter-
ian church here in 1850, with four mem
bers-ladies. MIR. Naff was prevented
from attending the meeting of the Sy-
nod by i'll health.

FATHER AND MOTHER IN
.JAII,

ALL.
The charges a serious one
a few days ago, Reese and Nan
ME La NsOn, negroes, who occupied
a small house on West Main Street,
were arrested and locked up on
warrant sworn out by DR.. Thomp-
son, Overseer Of the Poor, charging
them with willfully and feloniously
heglecting, and refusing to provide
for, and protect their children, there
by attempting to kill them. These
negroes have two small children, the
youngest Is months and the oldest
years old. The case was tried
before Mayor Doak on yesterday
The evidence in the case was con-
elusive that these people treated
their children in very inhuman
and brutal manner. The neighbors
testified that the children were left
for days and nights together in filth
and dirt, and alone, with not even
water. But for the neighbors the
childred would evidently have starv-
ed, which the parents seem to have
desired. The feeling here is very
strong against these parties, who
deserve the full penalty of the law.
They were remanded to Jail by the
| Mayor, to await the action of the
Grand Jury. The children are being
we'll cared for by the town.

Dorset Horn Brecd.

We have always been well aware
that Dorset Horn breeds will readily
give birth to a lamb or lambs in No
vember, and yield another birth the
ensuing May or June, but we have
heard owners of large focks Of that
breed condemn the practice as likely to
injure the stamina OF the ewes and tend
in the end, IL much resorted to, rather
disadvantageously to the general
health and well-being of flock.

Telephones.

We have been insisting for some time
that it is really a question of very lit
tie time when every well-to do farmer
in the county will have telephon con
nection with the town and consequent
ly with all parts of the country. The
value of such a thstem cannot be over
estimated. Mr. Long has his exchange
established and while not one. e.fourth
of the people who should have connec-
tions have yet secured them. it is
quite certain that few people who have
business interests will long be without
a telephone in his house. While on the
subject let us give an illustration of th Q
value of the telephone:
A farmer in Burk's Garden, or the
Cove, or Thompson Valley, has All ur-
gent call for a physician at the county
seat. A ring and central is told of the
trouble, and long ride over the worst
roads in the civilized world is avoided.

The Churches Last Sunday.

Several of the visiting ministers re-
mained over and preached last Sunday.
Rev. DR.. Hopkins preached in the Bap-
tist church at night, Rev. Mr.. Frazier
in the Methodist church Sunday morn
ing, DR.. Smith preached for the colored
people, and DR.. Guthrie, in the Presby-
terian church morning and night. All
of the sermons were good and attended
by large audiences. Especially was
this true of the sermons at the Presby-
terian church. Rev, Mr.. Guthrie is as
sistant pastor to Rev. DR.. Hoge, in
Richmond, and is a young man of more
than ordinary ability. The services
were attended by large crowds, both
morning and night, who listened with
rapt attention to the eloquent preacher.

Our Cattle.

A large number of fine cattle have
been shipped from Tazewell recently.
While tho cattle seem to be in better
condition than usual they weigh less
and the consensus of opinion is that
the stock is detiriorating. We are get
ting an inferior grade of cattle from
other states, probably, and not raising
enough at home. Probably not less
than a thousand head of good cows
have been shipped from Tazewell with
in the last year or SO. 1t seems to us
bad policy to sell our own good stock
and depend upon buying stock cattle
abroad, unless we get better grade.
1t looks now as though we will have to
import our butter, if this. exodus of
milk COWS continues.

When the old folks died the farm of
more than 200 acres was left to Hiram
and Josiah Walker, to be divided equal
~ or worked together, as the brothers
might choose. For several wears they
farmed their land together. and then
Hiram married. After that the land
was divided, Hiram taking the part on
which the home stood for himself and
his bride, and Josiah was to make his
home with them.
Added to the ties of blood were the
ties Of e5mraGeship on the battlefelds
of the south, and they seemed INSOFAR
able. Nothing, it seemed, could come
between them. They assisted each 9TH
er in their work, they shared each 9TH
er's earnings; they made it point to
plant at the same time; they reaped
their crops at the same time, and they
sold the products of their farms to the
same men. Their lives were the happy
ones of peace and good will.
And then came n time of doubt. of
hard words, and all the comradeship Of
the past was forgotten.
II was in the winter time, and both
brothers were fattening hogs for mar
ket The pens in which their hogs were
kept adjoined, and day after day they
had stood together and remarked about
the condition of the stock. One morn

he found his brother counting his hogs,
and as he reached his side Hiram turned
to him and said:

CHEERING HIM.

Carried Away.

He was unquestionably an orator. But
he was not content with that gift. He de.
sired to deliver speeches which would read
well in print. As a result, his periods were
polished till they lost force. They would
have made more of an impression if he had
left a few jagged edges on them. His speeches
were as famed for their sOporitic qualities as
they were for their immaculate syntax, but
his wife was a confident admirer OF his pow
ers as a speaker. Without taking the
trouble to inform herself very thoroughly
on the topics he discussed, she accepted his
observations with implicit faith and IN
bounded applause. She had gone to hear
him address the legislature. After it was
over he remarked:
"That speech wasn't the success we hoped
it would be-"

.he swampy land about the city. These
fevers are endemic and usually fatal to
foreigners. The vapors rising from
the marshes are often visible above the
islands, forming great white clouds.
From October to May life at Manila is
very pleasant.
Under any sort of decent govern
ment the Philippine islands would long
ego have become immensely wealthy,
but the Spanish dons who were sent
there TO administer affairs had eyes
for nothing but their own interests. In
stead of encouraging enterprise, they
killed it by placing an onerous tax on
every cocoanut tree planted, on every
beast of burden, on every animal
slaughtered for home consumption or
market, on mills and oil presses, on
weights and measures, and even on
cock fighting. An income tax is col
lected from every inhabitans, even
though he has no income at all, and
every person over IS years of age is
required to procure every year a certifi-
cate of Identification, the charge Of
which varies from S1.50 to $25, accord
ing to the means of the applicant. Fail
ure or inability II pay this tax means
terrible punishment. Men and women
sex cuts no figure with the Spanish
tax gatherer-are stripped to the waist,
tied to a post in a public place, aud
whipped without mercy. This is fol-
lowed by deportation to some other
island, where the delinquents are com.
PEELED to work OUT the amount OF
the tax due the government at the rate
of six cents per day.
Instructions have been frequent,
but owing to the poverty of the half
castles and natives who engaged in them
usually ended in quick failure. Two
years ago the first general revolt was
inaugurated. The military resources
of the Spanish were for some time in
adequate TO quell the uprising, and not
until the government promised the in
PRODUCTION of sweeping reforms and
immunity of those who had participated
in the revolution was n semblance of
peace restored. The Spanish governor
general announced that the islands had
been "pacifed;" and thereupon spat
upon his own promises and began a
system of persecution against the ''reb-
els" which in cruelty and torture out
did anything mankind has ever heard
Of, barring only the Spanish inquisi-
ton. The prisoners were put on the
