Registered Stock.

There is frequently a great deal o.
humbug about registered stock. Much o.
it is not worth the fodder it consumes
The only sure way to procure the most
valuable stock for the object aimed at j:
by careful testing and wedding out all
Improbable specimens. This is espec
tally necessary in order to create the
most profitable dairy. Every COW should
be tested until the owner is fully satisfied
of her standing as butter maker.
Any farmer who has patience and in.
telligence to pursue this method for few
years could establish herd of his own
register that would only have to become
publicly knownto raise the price of his
stock,-if not to the fancy figures of the
high toned herds, which frequently have
more of fancy than utility to recommend
them-at least very much aboye the or
binary price that Jersey cows now bring.
Some of our dairy farmers are engaged
in this method of establishing herds that
will have home register and turn out
animals superior to the herds that have
acquired by examining, fancy animals
and much advertising.
1t is mooted question whether the
butter stock is going TO be the most
profitable stock of the future for this sec
ton of country. The oleomargarine but
ter has broken in upon the dairy man
and destroyed his profit with counterfeit
butter which can be placed on the mar zet
for six cents a pound, and thousands of
tons of counterfeit butter are sold in the
city markets, which has cut down the
price of the genuine article.
Beef Of first quality is growing in de-
demand for export and home use, and
with right breeds of beef stock an acre of
land will produce 200 pounds of No. I
beef annually, which has more profit than
butter to the producer. Two years old
beef, or "baby" beef as the dealers term
this young beef, is the kind that has
profit for the feeder. And here again
half the BATTLE, or more, for profit de-
ponds on the stock. Early maturing
stock and the animal that will lay on
flesh rapidly is the animal that combines
qualitylwith quantity and top price.
Above all else it requires care and judg-
ment of high order to be either a sue
cessful fat stock producer or tip top dairy
man. We would like to have the sugges-
tons FROM farmers for publication, de-
rived from experience, observation and
reflection, or conclusions arrived at from
either of these sources. An Interchange
of views among farmers through the press
might be made profitable and certainly
very interesting to all engaged in the
farming industry.

DISTINGUISHING.

Republicans are making grievous com.
plants, and claiming that the new cleo
ton law will disfranchise SO many people.
The truth is the law does not dsfranchise
any one possessing the legal requirement
to vote. Every person will be given a
ticket containing all the names of can
didates running for office, with names
arranged under the head of tie office
each candidate is to fill. with printed in
structions naming the number required TO
fill the Office. The blind or lame of hand
are furnished with clerk to mark the
ticket as they order. So the law disfran-
chlses no one, and all who cannot vote
on account of ignorance to read disfran-
chise themselves.
There is no excuse for people remain
ing in ignorance when the State has been
furnishing free schools for nearly forty
years where white and colored children
had only to attend to be taught 10 read.
Any man who has sense sufficient to quail
ity him for voting citizen can learn, and
should be able to read If lie does not
care enough to learn or is too Indifferent
or dumb to care, he isn't safe person to
use the ballot. The Republicans make
the outcry and complaint, that their party
will be disfranchised. Does their party
monopolize all the ignorance?

Pity
and
Beauty

The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, all
dimples and joy. The most
pitiful thing is that same baby,
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence.
Dimples and JOY have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve--all but pity
and love--is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick!
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

Washington. Jan. l4-The army re-
organization bill will continue TO en-
gage the attention OF the senate at
least during the first days of the pres
ent week. The opinion Is quite gener-
ally expressed among senators that the
bill will be acted upon by the middle
Of the week. aud even the critics of the
measure join in this prediction. Many
phases Of the question involved in the
army bill remain to be considered. and
the general understanding is that there
will still be no little discussion before
the bill can be disposed Of The speech
OF Senator Platt. Of Connecticut. on
Friday last in defense of the bill on
general principles will call for replies,
and there are also special features
which will require more or less atten-
ton. Among these are Senator Dam
iels amendment concerning the ap-
pointment of volunteers TO Offices in
the regular army; the question OF the
disposition of officers who have held
STAFF positions. and the provision for the
enlistment Of Filipinos in the Amerl-
can army.
Senator Allison intends to call up the
legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill when the army bill is
acted on but whether this and other
appropriation bills to follow it shall
occupy the exclusive attention OF the
senate so long as they are on the cal
endar is a question which has not yet
been absolutely determined. The pres
ent indications are. however. that the
appropriation bills will be considered
in advance of all other measures when
ever they are before the senate.
When there are no appropriation
bills to be taken up the ship subsidy
bill will be discussed. There are still
numerous speeches to be made upon
this measure, and already there Is talk
Of night sessions for its consideration
when IL is taken up.
There Is little in the legislative bill
TO arouse discussion, but there Is a
possibility that senators hostile to the
