DAIRY And LIVE STOCK,
DAIRY cows.

In selecting dairy COWS, says Profes.
sor Hacker, we should try to obtain
an animal with a dished face, promi-
nent, lively eye. long body, deep
through the middle, with thin neck,
light shoulders, prominent hip bones,
high pelvic arch, thin thighs, with
high, arching flank, giving plenty of
room for a good udder, which
should extend we'll forward, and well
out and high behind, giving long and
broad surface attachment to the body,
with good sized teats, we'll placed; the
legs should be short and clean, and
there should be ample heartsand lung
room.
IL may be interesting to explain what
is meant by certain of the points
named. Fer instance, why do we call
for a dished face in a cow3 This is the
reason. The dishiug OF the face, is
caused by the prominence of the eyes
on either side. A large, full eye is
one OF the several sigUs of a strong,
nervous temperament. By q strong,
nervous temperament we mean q large
supply Of nerve fore, and this is one
OF the most necessary things a COW
must have, if she does large dairy
work, Another good indication of the
nervous temperament ls a s irong, rug.
ged backbone, rising well above the
wishers, with the ribs act we'll apart.
Such q backbone, taken in connection
with the appearance of the head and
geneal lean appearance of the COW, is
an indication Of an extra large mar
row, which s hall furnish an abundant
supply of nerve force to the mammary
organs of the COW.
In speaking Of the pslvic arch is
meant the strong rise OF the backbone
between the hips end the setting of the
tail. A prominent pelvic arch is de
cidedly a dairy point. We often see it
recommended that a COW should have
a straight back from the horns to the
setting on of the tail. This straight
back business comes to US from the
Short horn breeders; it is a beef out
line, and is nev5r found in a good dairy
COW. Indeed a straight back would be
a hindrance to the performance of the
milk giving organs. The organs Of
maternity are contained in the pelvis.
Milk breeding and milk giving, as we
want them in these days, are simply a
large capacity for maternity. We
want the modern dairy COW construc-
ted, shaped, formed and endowed,
physically and mentally, for the large
maternal work she must do, if she is
to be of any profit to Us, and, as an in
dication to that end, we call for a pro
nounced pelvic arch. The points Of
good dairy COWS form a broad, and as
yet but little explored field, especially
by dairy farmers, who, of all others,
ought TO be deeply interested in it's
study.

wooL-GRowING IN THR SOUTH.

The Wool Record, considered as the
organ of those engaged in the sheep
industry and an authority on all ques-
tions relating TO sheep and wool, hav
ing studied the opportunities Of Yves
tern North Carolina as a sheep coun
try, says:
The blue ribbon and gold medal at
thu Worlds Columbian Exposition at
Chicago, for the best wool was awarded
to Mel R 8. Tucker, Of North Caro-,
lima. When the comparative little
prominence that State enjoys as a wool
producing section is considered, this
award is some what surprising to the
general reader. Fl )Wever, it is doubt
full if there is in the United States a
better section for raising Of sheep than
North Carolina. The climate, soil and
other conditions are admirably adapted
to sheep husbaudry. The winters are
not so severe that the sheep require
shelter much Of the time. And there
are but q few days when they are IN
able to gain a living on the field or for
est ranges. With the exception OF ex
ces sive winter weather, such as was
experienced during January, 1893,
they will keep in good condition with
what they will find in the fields and
woods without preparing forage.
Where will one find a more ideal sheep
range than the Piedmont region or the
lower southeastern slope Of the Blue
Ridge, having en- altitude of five hun
dred to one Thousand feet above the
sea, a region extending from Northern
Virginia TO Northern Alabama9
'Here the mountain range breaks
the force of the cell storms from the
northwest, end the air is sufficiently
cool, dry and rariied to prevent the

Atlanta's Thirsty Mayor.

ATLANTA. GA. Aug. 5.-On a vote of
seventeen to three the resignation ef
Mayor James G.. Woodward, of this
city, was asked. for at o secret caucus
of the City. Council and board OF Alder
men held this afternoon.
Mayor Woodward was charged with
drunkenness several weeks ago, when
impeachment proceedings were threat
ened. At that time the Mayor prom
.ised to reform, but it is now charged
that he has broken faith with the City
Council. According to the resolution
the resignation must be in by Monday
morning; upon failure it is probable
impeachment proceedings will beinsti-
tuted. At the caucus it was intimated
by Councilman Parks that persona who
wanted certain measures passed, to
which it was known Mr.. Woodward
was opposed, were behind this conduct.

Miss Lillian Jewett Takes the Bakers

CHARLESTON, Aug. J.-Lillian Clay
ton Jcwett the Boston girl who recently
created sensation among the negroes
OF that city by declaring that she would
come to Charleston and take back
north with her the family of the late
Frazier b. Baker, who was lynched at
Lake City, s. G., in 1897, with view
to beginning an agitation against mob
law, has carried out her design. Miss
Jcwctt arrived here Friday morning
accompanied by her mother and a
young man named Il. G.. Larsen, who
is Boston journalist. She had fre-
uuent conferences with the Baker wo-
l.!a:ii and iler friends and US Il result she
loft here for Boston this afternoon ac-
companled Ivy the entire Baker family,
the mother and five children.
Miss Jewett said her plans for the
future were not yet formulated, but
she proposed to hold mass meetings
throughout the north to arouse popular
sentiment against lynching and mob
law generally. She did not regard her
movement as an issue between the
races, but was advocating the cause of
humanity irrespective of color or con-
dition. She said she was educated in
Virginia and had some knowledge of
the Southern people, and she was we'll
aware that the better elements in the
South joined heart and soul with the
better elements in the North in de-
m0n(linC halt in the commission of
the outragcs that recently have shock
ed the world. She said that since her
Boston address was matle she had re-
ccived many threatening letters from
the South, but to these she paid no
heed knowing that they did not come
from Il source worthy of serious con-
sideration.
Miss Jcwett paid for the tickets of
the Baker family from here to Boston,
and she also bought number OF
small articles of clothing for the wo-
man and her children.
The Rev. j. l.. Dart, q colored minis
ter Of this city, who has recently spent
some time in Boston. returned to the
city to-day and opposed violently the
removal of the Bakers from Charles
ton. He declares that Miss Jewett did
not represent the better class of white
or cOlOrcd people i'm Bnston. He saws
she and those who stand with her
merely want to get control of the
Bakers to make notoricty and money
for themselves.-CUr.S State.
