Cincinnati Enquirer: A movement has
been set on foot looking to the con-
structlon of a canal to connect the
tennessee and Warrior rivers in this
state, the connection to be made from
a point near Guntersville, in the
northeastern part of Alabama, by the
way of Birmingham and in conjunc-
ton with the proposed Van Hoose
canal, from this city to a point on the
Warrior about 80 miles north of Tus-
caloosa. The federal government will
be asked to undertake this work at the
proper time. Some years ago a pre-
llminary survey of the proposed water
way was made by Major C. D. Fitz-
hugh, a prominent civil engineer OF
this state, and he reported the pro-
Ject entirely feasible. He has recent
ly investigated the matter further, and
is more than ever convinced of the
practicability and Importance of the
canal. Mr.. Underwood writes from
Washington that just as soon as he
secures an appropriation for the Van
Hoos canal, and gets it on a continu-
ing contract basis, he will urge the ap-
preparation for the Tennessee river
canal. The proposed Van Hoose canal
is to extend from North lake. two
miles north of Birmingham, to the
Warrior river, a distance of about 40
miles. First, it is proposed to build
it from McAdory, near Bessemer,, to
the Warrior by canalizing Valley
creek. The government has already
surveyed the route and Chief Engi-
Rossell, of the government works
at Mobile, strongly urged the con-
struotion of the canal. He pointed out
that with an all-water route from the
Birmingham district to the gulf coal
and iron and other products could be
moved from this section to deep
water for from 300 to 500 per cent less
cost than at present.

A ARTIST.

The death in New York on the 7th
inst. of Frederic E. Church removed
one of the most famous of American
artists. Mr.. Church was IA years old.
He was born in Hartford, Conn, and
early evinced a talent for drawing.
When a young man he became a pupil
of Thomas Cole at Catskill, N. Y,
where he painted his first pictures.
He later removed to New York and in
1S49 was elected a member of the Ma
tional Academy. In. 1853 and 1857 he
was in South Africa and there he gath
cred much material for later paintings.
He was also a member of an expedi-
ton to the coast of Labrador, where
he obtained the idea for his great
painting, "lcebergs." This painting
was exhibited throughout the United
States and Europe and it's marvellous
colorings everywhere attracted atten-
ton and favorable comment. Mr..

A gentleman who had engaged an
intelligent French maid was at work
in his library at one end of his house
when it struck him, from certain
sounds, that something must be wrong
in the drawing room, at the other end
of the house. So he rang his bell, and
the maid came. What are those cries

So 1t happened on one Inspiring
spring morning, when the lake was
blue and the sky bluer and the air
rosily golden, that a furniture van
pulled up before the Queen Anne cot
tage.
This house, driver!" called David
Gregory.
The van backed up to the sidewalk
just as a furniture van crawled lazily
from the opposite direction.
A slim young man came striding
along the sidewalk and paused on the
sidewalk before the canary yellow cot
tage. He twirled his cane watching
the advancing wagon. 1t came creep
ing along after the manner of con-
veyances hired by the hour.
Hi, driver-here!" called Hazleton,
and pointed with his cane. That other

In the same block. He turned, draw
ing a key from his pocket. He went
up the steps-and met David Gregory
coming down.

demanded Gregory magniicently.
From his point of vantage on the
higher step he looked down on the in

"On what date, may I ask?" The

Not at 4:3O Precisely.

A commissioner representing the
American art section of a certain ex-
position was to arrive in Paris awhile
ago to arrange with the American
painters and sculptors resident there
for their contributions. Wishing to be
brisk and businesslike he wrote ahead
to several artists stating that he would
be in Paris IN a certain day, and at a
certain hotel. and naming an hour at
which he hoped each man would call
upon him. On his schedule for the day
was the name of MacNeill Whistler
and the hour "4:30 precisely" The
note he received is worthy of the au-
thor of THE Gentle Art of Making En-
emies': Dear Sir: l have received
your letter announcing that you will
arrive in Paris on the til. l con-
graduate you. | have never been able,

Use Better Cattle,

u ape Gdu LN ~ u
= Dichier at a Wisconsin Instituted
The advantages Of keeping good
STOCK are twofold. First, they are
more economical to keep, consuming
less food for a given result. Second,
they produce more dairy products and
sell Tor a higher price per pound as
peer. The first point is we'll illustrated
by the parallel of two steam engines.
Given two engines of equal size, one
a rattletrap and the other of the best
make and in good order. The old
rattletrap will use up more fuel than
the other, will make more smoke, and
very probably will produce vastly more
noise in running. Blu it will not de-
Velop anywhere near as much power
as the better machine. Over and over
again 1t has been demonstrated thai
a good steam engine is cheaper than
a poor one, because it saves fuel. 1t
is cheaper to run.
An animal is a living steam engine,
and the food is the fuel, to be con-
Verted into energy, or beef, or milk,
according to whether it is a horse OF
a beef c~ritter" or a dairy COW. And,
like a steam engine, a well-bred animal
will utilize the material to be trans
formed to better advantage than will
a scrub. This fact has been verified
so many times that it would seem
almost useless to dwell upon it, but
some farmers are skeptical. All such
l would refer to the records of our
experiment stations connected with
agricultural colleges, or with the rec
ords of any of the many experiments
carried on along this line.
The second point, that the product
Ks worth more, is easily seen to be true
III the case Of dairy products, where
the actual quantity of product is
greater, 1t is we'll known that we'll
bred herds of dairy cattle produce
better milk, in greater quantities per
mead, than do even The very best of
scrubs. And the point that the beef
from well-bred stock sells for more
per pound can also be easily proven.
ASK any buyer OF cattle and he will
tell you that thoroughbred stock is
more even in size, is more uniform
as to condition and appearance and
quantity of flesh, and will command
better than the market price very
oIten' and will always command the
highest market price. This advantage
IS in addition to the fact that thor
oughbred stock will make more flesh
from a given amount OF feed than will
scrub stock, so that it gives a double
advantage to well-bred cattle over
scrubs.
had a personal demonstration OF
this point last winter which | will not
soon forget. | took a bunch of cattle
TO Milwaukee and sold them there.
The man to whom | sold them said
mat he would have given one-third to
one-half a cent a pound more for them
II they a been of a good beef breed.
MS Is a frequent case, and ii is we'll
understood that a nice, even bunch Of
cattle OF a good beef breed will always
a higher price than scrubs
or cattle not fitted for beef. 1t would
seem that no farmer could hesitate
ABOUT the wisdom of keeping the best
stock under these circumstances. They
Will cost no more, and perhaps lot as
much to keep as poor stock, and will
produce more, while the product will
sell for a higher price.
