HOT WEATHER DAIRY PRECAUTIONS
gaintod MILK Attributable to overhoating
of Cows.


Eaintcd MILK Attributable to overhcating &
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
experience have encountered great
deal of tainted milk directly attribut-
able to the overheating 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 1t comes to the care of milk,
hot weather has no terrors for a dairy
man fully prepared and willing to in
telligently combat its deleterious ef-
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

more influence than simply to dry
them. Now 1t Is known that following

ing bacteria that might quickly pro-
pagate and ruin milk quality. Ill
smells about COW stable multiply
with amazing rapidity during the heat

ace to milk. If you cannot keep the
atmosphere of your stable as sweet
smelling as that of your pasture, milk
tho COWS In the pasture every time.
Attend to the care of milk as soon
as It has been drawn from the cow.
To let it stand about in pals to walt
convenience Is dangerous; TO dump
hundred pounds or more OF it freshly
millIod into narrow can is pernicious.
Milk should always be aeratcd and
cooled sufficiently to keep IL fresh 12
hours before it Is ever stored In bulk.
No better way can he devised for taint-
ing fresh milk quickly and efIectually
than by plunging Il vessel of it into
cold water. The resulting taint Is
commonly spoken of as smothered

should wet down the floor and walls
of you dairy room several times IL day
with cold water This will material
ly aid in keeping the atmosphere of the
partment cool and sweet even during
the hottest days.

shoep on tho Clearing.

Wherever woodland is cleared flock
of sheep is extremely valuable to keep
the cleared soil from being overgrown
with bushes, weeds and shrubs which
usually come up in the following years.
says the "Cultivator." II Is desirable to
get the cleared land in grass as soon as
possible. When 1t is once seeded down
it may be pastured with sheep all
through the summer, not only without
injuring the grass. but positively bene-
fitting 1t, as the sheep will devote most
of their time to trimming down the
bushes and eating the leaves which
shade the land. To make more thor
ough destruction Of the shrubbery, an
excess of sheep should be put in the
cleared lot, and these must be fed some
grain, so az to make their browse diet
digest better.

Synod Echoes.
After the Synod-the bills.

After the Synod-the bills.
The Synod closed, formally on Fri
day night, at 10 O'Clock. Nearly all
the ministers and delegates left on a
special train at 1880 Saturday morn
ing.
Strong and hearty resolutions were
passed by the Synod in praise and ap-
probation of Tazewell s hospitality.
One of the most whole souled men
of the Synod was DIR. f. t. McFaden,
of Lynchburg. lie is young, vigorous
and hopeful, and u man of many parts.
We had the pleasure of meeting DIR.

ian, one of the strongest religious pa
pers in the South DR.. Smith breaches
to larger audience every week than
any other ministsr in tho Synod ,nndit 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

Governor Tyler left Tazeweii on Fri
day for Radford, where Mrs. Tyler join

During the Synod an interesting let

N. Naff, who organized the Presbyter-

bers-ladies. Mr.. Naff WAS prevented
from attending the meeting of the Sy-

RHEA AND WALKER.
A Warm Meeting at Pulaski on
Monday.


A special on Monday from Pulaski to
the Richmond Dispatch says: There
was joint discussion here today (Coun-
ty Court day. between Rhea and Walk.
er, Democratic and Republican confires-
sional candidates, respectively. Walker
led off in one hour and forty minutes
speech. Rheanfollowed in the same
time. Then came Walker in thirty min
utes and Rhea in thirty minutes. In
his first speech General Walker dis
cussed the tariff and the currency, say
ing that politics meant the greatest
good to the country and to each voter,
and each voter shonld consult his per-
sonal interests in voting. That was
practical polit tics, not sentiment. He
made strong speech for his side.
General Walker had been introduced
by III. Peyton Gray in three minutes
speech. Rhea was given rousing re-
ception by the Democrats. He discuss
ed ably the issues of the day, especially
the currency question and the war.
He dissected Walkers political record
elaborately aud severely. including his
application for pardon after the war and
the admissions therein. Rhea's speech
was powerful and received the loud ap-
plause of the Democrats Walker. in
reply stated that Rhea's discussion of
his record was not political, but an in-
sulting attack upon him personally
under the guise of politics, and he
would reply accordingly, and discuss
Rhea's record and personal character,
which he did in an abusive mannec
Several times Rhea arose and pronounce
ed the charges repeated by Walker,
IA lie" especially the one that he hal
ever been goldbug. Walker ordered
Rhea not to interrupt him, but to sit
down, which Rhea refused to do, and n
personal encounter seemed imminent.
But cooler men on both sides interfered
and order was restored.
Rhea in his reply met Walkers s char
ges against him, and replied in kind in
the severest manner He asked all who
intepded to vote for him to hold up
their hands great many hands went
up. Walker asked the same. Decid-
ediy a smaller numl er went up. The
Democrats claim great victory today,
which the Republicans do not concede

Surprising the seed to have been

If considerable crIbgrass is mixed
with 1t, II will be benefit rather than
otherwise, for the desmodium Is apt to
grow with rather large. coarse stalks

Leave the cut grass about half n day
to wilt, then haul to the barn. First
place layer two feet deep on the floor.
then lay rails across, resting on the

Leave the stubble about six inches
long, and II will send up shoots at
once for the second crop. which will.
or may be made, a better one than the
first. The stems will be smaller, and
the harvesting in September will be in
drier weather, when the hay can be
secured in better condition.
The first crop may have rather thick
stems, some of them perhaps as large
as lead pencil. But If run through

one-inch lengths, 1t will be eaten up to
the last piece; that is, If cured bright

somewhat dusty; If SO. 1t should be
sprinkled little when fed to horses.
but for cattle this is not necessary.
Good desmodium hay is worth more
than the Northern hay brought down

A Store ROBBED.
A Large Amount of Clothing
Taken.
NO CLUE AS TO ROBBERS.
The Clothing Store of Messrs.
Harman g Bottimore broken
Open on Mond ay Night.

Last Monday night the store house of
Haruan & Bottimore was broken into
and about twenty pairs of pants, and
coats and 3 pairs of shoes taken.
The thief entered by breaking n hole
in the glass in one of the front doors.
The cash drawer, which contained n
small amount of money, was not dis
turbed. Mr.. Geo. r. Surface and two of his
guests heard sound like breaking
glass. and Mr.. Surface got up, thinking
n lamp chimney had buast some where
in the house. He looked up and down
the street, but saw no one. This was
about u. m. Mrs. Kroll, who is visi-
ting her father, T. G.. Witten, was up
with her baby some time during tho
night, and while up heard sound like
shivering glass, aud thought it some
ones window. She does not know
what time this was. Several people
were on the Street late at night, but
saw nor heard nothing. The theft was
committed late at night, evidently be-
tween two and four o'clock.
AT present writing there is no
clue to the thief. The supposition is
that the theft was. committed by some
one who does not live here. Every ef-
fort will be made to bring the burglar
justice.

Telephones.

We have been insisting for some time
that it is really question of very lit
tie time when every well-to do farmer
in the county will have telephon cor
nection with the town and consequent
ly with all parts of the country. The
value of such thstem cannot be over
estimated. Mr. Long has his exchange
established and while not one. 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 tn c
value of the telephone:
A farmer in Burk's Garden, OF the
Cove, or Thompson Valley, has an ur-
gent call for 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.

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 ut home. Probably not less
than 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.

FATHER AND MOTHER IN
JAIL,

The charges serious one
"A few days ago, Reese and Nan
ME La %son, negroes, who occupied
II small house on West Main Street,
were arrested and locked up on n
warrant sworn out by DIR. 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
8 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.
