GOOD BULLS.
Experiments Showing the Impore
tance of Superior Sires.

|
One Of our Kansas creamery patrons,
says Professor D. H. Otis, had two heif-
er calves in succession from an old red
COW, one by Holstein and the other by
Shorthorn In a seven days test the
Holstein heifer with her third calf
produced 2,3 pounds of butter per day,
and for the same time the Shorthorn
with her second calf produced 1.2
pounds Of butter per day, the Holstein
giving milk II months of the year and
the Shorthorn only five months. This
speaks very emphatically as to the value
of good sire in raising dairy cows
Out Of SO patrons of the Meriden
creamery, from which we have reports
for 1897, there were only 10, or 23 per
cent, that were using pure blood sires,
and two of these had Herefords and one
an Aberdeen-Angus, animals that as a
breed are unfit for profitable production
of milk. This leaves ~ per cent that
bred to grades or common bulls of no
particular breed. Some of those bred to
any kind of bull they could find to get
fresh cows One man bred to a Red
Polled because ne was working Tor req
color. Another man did not know what
kind of bull he had last year, but said
he had fine one this year. When asked
the breed, he replied: "Don't know.
Guess he is Red Polled. Right here
lies the secret of many of the low yields
of our Kansas COWS. Our farmers little
realize how extravagant they are in
using a common or ordinary bull. Their
shortsighted policy leads them to.be-
lieve that because good animal costs
500 it would be money thrown away
to invest, when in reality it would be
money in their pockets. A dairyman
can much better afford to pay 800 for
good bull than to accept poor one
as gift.

Dairy Exports.

The trade in American farm products
is growing in the China seas. Scientific
inquiry into the principles that under
lie the making of fine dairy products is
preparing our people to furnish butter
in condition to be exported in alright
packages, so that it will remain sweet
for long periods in tropical countries.
In order that markets may be opened
up in Japan, China and other countries
of the Pacific ocean, an agent is now in
that region establishing agencies tc
which the department will make trial
shipments with view to ascertainine
all the facts for the benefit of the dairy
men. Report of Secretary of Agricul-
ture.

A man must reap as he sows. If he sows
ill-health he will reap ill-health IF he
neglectS his health the weeds of disease
will grow up and choke it.
1t is daily and hourly marvel that men
will recklessly neglect their health, when
moments thought should tell them that
they are counting death. 1t lies in most
every mans power to live to a green old
age. If a man would only take the same
care of himself that he does of his horse, or
COW, or dog, he would enjoy good health.
When man owns a hundred-dolla horse,
and it gets sick, he does not waste any time
about doctoring him up. When his garden
gets full of weeds, he doesn't delay about
roofing them out, for he knows they will
choke out his vegetables. When he is out
of sorts, sick, nervous, headachey, has no
appetite and is restless and sleepless at
night, he pays little attention to it. The
result is consumption, nervous prostratior
or some serious blood or skin disease. DR..

caught on fire this morning about 30,

alarm was sent in and the fire companies
responded promptly. The fire burned
Underneath the floor and went up
through the walls into the roof. The
roof was flooded with water. but it was
stubborn fire and was hard to extin-
guish. None of the household goods or
fixtures of the doctor were damaged, but
they had to be all taken out, as the
room was flooded with water.

o'clock this morning, the shingles having
recaught The hose company again
responded and after much trouble again
extinguished the flames.

The third and last speaker was Prof.
Crosby, principal of colored normal
school at Salisbury. Crosby's speech, for
the most part, consisted of a relation of
his personal history. He said he was
part Indian and had as little negro in
him as it is possible to have and yet be
n negro. He was born in slavery, he
saio, and during the war he was drum
mer boy in the Federal army He had
always voted for good government, and
good men, though he had never been a
Democrat.
In regard to suffrage, he said of the
$4,000 negro voters in North Carolina,
only some $4,000 or 10000 were capable
of forming an opinion on any public
question.
1.-THE negro who tells you he can't
vote any ticket except the Republican
ticket. tells you the truth. The ostra-
cism of race is something terrible. The
negro needs most to be saved from him
self. and from his white leaders.
'As to how you shall remedy these
evils. have no suggestions to make. Do
what you think right and I've got moth
ing to say. / know there's a hot-headed
element in this Legislature, an element
that doesn't want to listen to reason.
But the great majority are able, intelli-
gent, conservative men who will seek the
nc apJ hp1incy IL will do II
"Disfranchise enough of the ignorant
negro vote of the State to insure good
government, and I've got nothing to say.
Such a measure will not only bring peace
to the State, but it will bring also poll
who might be allowed to retain the right
to vote.
Last year the negro got a common
school fund of $223,000 Of this the
negro paid $1T7,000. This leaves S46,-
900 to come from other sources. About
$500 of this comes from fines, taxes
on corporations and the like, leaving
about S34 900 to come from the white
mans taxes.
1T has been said that education de-
stroys the negro as farm hand / will
not deny it, for it's true Education
has destroyed you gentlemen as farm
hands. Why? Because you can make
more at your profession. The same rule
applies to the negro.
1.-The white man for centuries has been
educated and trained. The negro on the
other hand has found it, during his
slavery, to cheat and steal and lie. The
white man inherits education; the negro
inherits criminal tendencies. Now that
the negro is trying to throw off these
hereditary taints, don't cut him off and
condemn him to darkness, ignorance and
crime"

THE ORPHAN ASYLUM.
The Grand Lodge Desires a Change
Made in the Matron.


The Grand Lodge at its session here
this week had discussion upon two
points: One whether the gift of Ben
Duke Of Durham. ought to be received,
as coming from II member Of the Am
erican Tobacco Company or trust; ne
other, whether the matrOn. who is from
Massachusetts and who is paid a salary
of $1,000, ought not to he replaced by
a North Carolina woman. The result
of the long discussion was the adoption
of Il resolution that it was proper to re-
ccive the gifts of Mr.. Duke, and the
adoption of another resolution that a
North Carolina woman should be made
matron."
There was some private talk among
the Masons against the removal of Nj.
n. NJ. Lawrence. the efficient superin-
tendent. and one member called atten-
ton to the fact that last July the Ma
sCnic Journal of Louisville, Ky, express
ed surprise that the Grand Lodge of
North Carolina passed resolutions re-
GREETING the retirement of Mr.. y. NJ.
Lawrence, when as matter of fact
the Oxford Orphan Asylum belonged to
and was controlled by the Grand Lodge.
The present matron is said not to have
obtained the love of the children and
not to be a good manager with the
teachers, whereas every child loved Mr..
Lawrence and their eyes frightened
when they came into his presence.
