1856 Mr.. Turner was elected State SEN
ator from the district composed of Ire
dell, Alexander and Wilkes, and served
successfully in the Senate in 1887, 1889
and 1891, being regarded as one of the
ablest lawyers, best parliamentarians

recognize as both just and appreciative.
We quote:
ITO the Editor of The State: Your
brief reference to Hon. c. B. Aycock

ing leads ne to surmise that some of
your reade $ would welcome fuller in
formation concerning this prospective
Governor of North Carolina:
THE wr!er was a fellow student
with him 1T the University of North
Carolina, I'd even then anticipated his
attainment of the highest honors in the
gift of his State. He comes from a
sturdy and vigorous stock-a type we'll
known in North Carolina for its up
right and fearless adherence to prin-
litical insight and popular spirit-a
family that has given to the State more
than one invaluable and influential citi-
zen. His career at the University was
a triumph from its beginning He had
the reputation of having surpassed
every student in Latin composition:
but, instead OF cultivating the habits
of a reclus.e such as devotion to the
classics might suggest, he was foremost
in, the political contests of his literary
society and was always a successful
candidate. ] remember, on one occa-
sion, when the vote of a certain student
was doubtful, how Aycock completely
won him by asking him to use his in
fiuence TO fix the adherence of another
student, who was known to be vacillat-
ing
"Aycock was always a wonderful de-
batter. His oice is not especially pleas
ant nor his action graceful, but the
man has such marvellous moral fervor.

 U. f.: AN
MANAGING THE CALF.
A Lot of Valuable Information Con- densed for the Benefit of Busy
 Farm Renders.

To make him pay, the calf requires careful handling. He starts life with a baby stomach. To overfeed him is to invite failure. It usually makes him SCOUT. This stops growth and perhaps kills him, making loss in either case. If he doesn't SCOUT he bloats with poisonous gas generated by the surplus food he cannot di- gest, and the "pot-bellied" calf with staring coat is a long time recover ing from unthrifty conditions and starting to grow.
 Don't let a calf drink daily until he can drink no more. Find out his capacity and then give a quarter less than his limit If he can be forced to drink it slowly, thus mixing the saliva with it, so much the better. For this reason calf feeder is a good thing. Food is eaten to be di- gested. The saliva we'll distributed in the food while in the mouth is the great agent of digestion. A pail hung up well above the calf, to which the milk is brought through a small hose partly stopped, so he can get the milk but slowly, is an invaluable raising or the block. But such a contrivance must be cleunsed daily in boiling water or it will prove a death trap. The milk remaining in the pail and tube will putrefy and produce a germ disease similar to cholera infantum, which destroys SC many babies and originates in food vessels and bottles imperfectly cleansed.
 The calf is a valuable newcomer provided it is handled right. In the calf, the dairy cow has her begin ming To raise the best heifer calves for the dairy or sale is polite. Every other calf should be made into veal or ''baby beef" as soon as possible. The man who destroys a calf for its pelt to-day is considered a poor manager.
 Keep the calf pen dry and whole some at all times. If there be any odor about it carry in peck of dry earth and spread it on a few quarts
 
 whey cannot be got for every days feed. accustom the calf to sour drink and do not give any that is sweet Calves do just as we'll on sour milk as on sweet. Uniform quality of food is what is required. If butter or cream is being sold one can easily make veal at the same time by care fully observing the above rules and adding to skim milk slowly increas- ing ration of whole faxseed jelly. Thus one herd of cows may return double profits by producing butter and veal at the same time.
 To teach the calf to drink, hold the pail in one hand. As soon as the calf will suck your fingers turn your hand under it's jaw, and it's nose will fol- low your fingers to the milk. Calves should be treated to dry dust and salt, as this regulates their digestive organs and keeps them from scour- ing.-Farm Journal.

AduIteration Legally Defined.

The supreme court of Iowa has re. gently decided that any substance added to milk is an adulteration. Ac- cording to this decision it makes no difference whether the buyer knows what he is buying or not, or whether he knows that the substances added to the milk are wholesome or un- wholesome, such addition constitutes adulteration. This is most whole some decision and ought to be the rule of law in all the states in the union.- Hoard's Dairyman.
