HELEN KELLER'S FIRST EARNINGS.
She Wanted noney to Buy an Island
for Summer home and She Earned

1t.
There is pretty story in connection
with the series Of articles which HELEN
Keller, the wonderful blind girl, has
written for the Ladies' Home Journal,
telling about her own life from infancy
to the present day. She always has
shrunk from the publicity which follows
successful literary work, and it was with
great difficulty that she was persuaded
to take up the task of preparing her
autobiography. She had. however, set
her mind on owning an Island in Halifax
harbor for a summer home, and in 8
spirit of fun the editor of the Journal
offered to buy it for her, or to provide
the means to buy it. When the work OF
writing appeared especially irksome Miss
Keller was reminded OF her desire to be-
come land-holder, and it spurrpd her
on Just before Christmas she completed
the first chapter OF her marvellous story;
and on Christmas morning she received
from her publishers a check for a coed
round sum. Her delight may beimagined
for this was the first money OF any &C.
count she had ever earned. at is fairy
tale come true" she said Whether she
will really carry out her plan to buy the
island remains to be seen.

A Representative Gathering.

The TwentysiXth Annual Conven-
ton OF the the Young Mems Christian
Associations of North Carolina will
take place in Charlotte March Sill.
1t will be unlike any Convention ever
held in previous years. Not more
than one half a dozen topics will be
discussed, as ths Convention will
confine itself to the discussion OF sew
eral vital, live sub jects, which have
TO deal with the religious life Of men.
1t will. in every respect be Tween
tieth Century Convention. Practical
ly every important college and many
preparatory schools for boys will
send delegations of their choicest
men. City and town Associations
will be represented by some of their
leading men. RAILROAD men from
several terminal points are also 60
ing to participate in the Convention
program.

The Opposition to Judge Clark
Alamance Cleaner.

n
Something OF campaign has open
ed in opposition to the nomination OF
Judge Walter Clark for Chief Justice,
but Notwithstanding the opposition
Judge Clark appears to be gravitating
toward the Chief Justiceship about as
fast as possible for one who is not
making an active fight. The princi-
pal opposition to him appears to
smauate from persons who dislike
him as an individual and from those
whose material interests have suffer
ed from his decisions in his efforts to
do Justice between man and man. He
does not believe that the courts are
intended to subserve the interests OF
the powerful as against the weak,
unless the cause of the powerful is
founded in justice and equity. He
has convictions OF right and, more
than that, he has the courage to write
his decisions accordingly, and this is
what has stirred up the greater part
of the opposition.

Newspapers the Best Medium for
Reaching the People.
Exchange.

For everything that is made to be
sold there is buyer. The purpose
of advertising is to bring buyer and
seller together. The greater the num-
Der of prospective buyers who are
reached by an advertisement the
larger is the percentage of the actual
buyers. The art in advertising is to
tell the largest number of people
where they can get what they want
and in the plainest wsrds. 1t is the
testimony of the most experienced
and successful business men that the
newspaper is always the best medium
for reaching people. This makes it
the cheapest.

By R. B. CREECY.

This volume contains aboG. io5 Tales. or
articles, running between two and three
pages each. and all relating to North Car
DINA matters: historical events or Incl
dents in the lives of some OF our distin-
guished men.
Colonel Crepcy has not attempted to
cover the while field There are many
other historical events and many other dis
tinguished Carolinian> than those which
he has made the subject of Tale. But
his 125 subjects cover enough for one
volume.
THE DISTINGUISHING FEATURE OF
COLONEL 6REEGY'S STYLE
Is the vein of humor that bubbles up con-
tinually in all lie writes. II any subject
has humorous side he lees it, and in an
elegant and delightful way he presents t
for the enjoyment Of his readers.
EVERY TILE WILL BE REID WITH IN

for in every one is brought forward some
membeIiDg, or some incident in the life of
a distinguished Carolin an is used to Illus

"A Peculiar Gaze.

A peculiar thing happened a few
days ago not far from Manaia. A
lady, while engaged milking her COWS,
took a long hat pin from her hat and
sticking it through handkerchief
placed the two upon a post. Shortly
afterward valuable cow happened 20
see the handkerchief which she forth
with devoured, swallowing the long
pin at the same time. Next day the
animal swelled up very considerably
and appeared to be in pain, so the
butcher was sent for to despatch her.
Fortunately the man could not 20 then
and next day the COW had completely
recovered and was back to her normal
milking point, so that the owner of
the cow was by pure good fortune. pre-
vented from losing a few pounds.
How the COW succeeded in getting rid
OF the huge pin is mystery-but she
did.-Witness (New Zealand).

Protein Consumption.

The scientists are gradually getting
down to the foundation of the problem
OF protein consumption. At St. An
thongs Park number of tests have
been made to determine the amount of
protein necessary to keep mich COW
In good condition. One experiment
was carried on for 81 days, and in it
wheat was compared with barley and
corn. The twelve COWS used weighed
on an average 954 pounds. The aver
age amount of food eaten was 24.3O
pounds. This food contained 2.01
pounds Of protein, 1903 pounds of car
oohydrates and 0.53 pounds Of fat.
these COWS were all giving milk at
the time, and it was found that 1876
pounds Of this protein was used in the
making Of milk. 1t was therefore cal
culated that 0.66 pounds was used for
maintenance Of body. The milk pro-
duced amounted to 1886 pounds daily,
containing Al of butter fat. 1t will,
therefore, be seen that about one-twen-
tieth Of a pound of protein was con-
sumed for every pound of milk pro-
duced.

a Warning to Feeder.
,.rr3EI'

Bulletin 126, New Jersey: On ac-
count of shortage in the corn crop and
the consequent rise in price Of all feed
ing stuffs, many materials which Or
dlnarily are considered as worthless
offal of milling. or OF other manufac-
turing processes, have been attracted
to market, in order to participate in
the high prices now ruling. Feeders
are apt to be misled in the purchase
OF these materials because the price
asked, judged from the prices Of stand
ard feeds in ordinary years. would in
dictate worth that they do not possess.
Economical purchase, however. does
not imply the purchase Of the lowest
priced feeds. In most cases these cheap
feeds" are not feeds at all, but finely
ground materials that are essentially
inferior to the common roughage of
the farm. Following are few found
on the market: "Cornaline, $40 per ton,
protein content 2.43 per cent; Marsden
Feed No. 2, price not known, protein
content 400 per cent; Independence
Fat Feed, $21.5O per ton, protein con-
tent $50; Rice Meal" ii. e.. hulls),
SIT per ton, protein content 3.G7; same,
SIS per ton, protein content 226; same,
$40 per ton, protein content PA per
cent How foolish man is to buy
such stuff, when he can buy even in
New Jersey Chicago Gluten Meal at
$2S per ton, and with protein content
of $3.50. Compare that with the 2.l4
per cent of protein in the Rice "Meal"
mentioned above. The Chicago Gluten
Meal is worth about seventeen times
as much as the other, according to the
analysis OF the New Jersey station.

s:aribault, Mimi, May 10. - The
Hartley murder trial closed yesterday
with the acauittal Of the accused. The
state failed to prove Its case and Judge
Euckham made Hartley free man
without submitting the case to the
jury. -Four witnesses for the state were
examined yesterday forenoon and four
/. of Wednesdays witnesses were recalled
! for cross examination. The only impor-
tant evidence secured was that given by
man named BAKER, who said he want
ed to buy the TRANSFER hotel of Hartley
before the time Of the fire, and while
they were disputing about the price
Hartley said he co:id insure the prop
erty and then touch a match to it, The
state then rested ana Attorneys A. Fl.
Hall and Lafayette French for the de-
Tense. argued a motion to dismiss the
case on the ground that the evidence
produced by the state failed to sustain
the indictment. The court then adj
jourEed for dinner. and OH the opening
of the afternoon session Judge Buck
ham granted the motion and released
the prisoner.

Ba oterIa in Separator tlime.


1t has not been generally thought
that centrifugal separation had any
particular bearing on the bacterial
content of milk. Recently, however,
Prof. c. H. Eckels of the Iowa Agri-
cultural college has demonstrated that
separation does really remove very
large percentage of such bacteria. The
germ contents of eight lots OF milk
were determined, and the lots then
run through the separator. The result
was that of all the germs in the milk
at first, AZ per cent appeared in the
separator slime. The skim-milk con-
talned 20 per cent only of the germs
IN the original whole milk. That left
only "a per cent in the cream. It will
thus be seen that the cream is much
richer in bacterial life than is the
whole milk or even the skim-milk.
Though the skim-milk contained 20
per cent of the bacteria in the whole
milk, it must be remembered that the
cream is much less in bulk than the
sklm-milk. Relatively the cream by
centrifugal separation has about 20
times as many bacteria as does tho
same bulk Of skim-milk.

Some Export Cancellations.

Prof. T. l.. Hacker, as the results OF
some feeding experiments, publishes
the following conclusions: Cows giving
ordinary yields of milk and butter tat
do not require the amount of protein
called for in the standard rations
The amount of milk COW gives daily
and its fat content measures the
amount of protein the animal REQUIRES
over and above what is needed for

more protein than she needs for this
production and for her own support is
OF no advantage. The excess of pro-
tein, with the corresponding excess Of
the other nutrients will tend to canse
her to lay on flesh and thereby shrink
in milk flow.

Acid In SiIaEs.

A bulletin of the Oregon station dis
cusses silos and silage. A number of
analyses of silage made for the pur-
pose OF determining its acidity are
given in tables. 1t was found that the
liquid constituents of immature clover
containing 1914 per cent Of moisture
were lost, to a certain extent by ooz-
ing out at the bottom of the silo. A
chemical analysis of this exudate
showed a protein content of 113 per
cent. In one experiment water was
added to clover silage approximately
at the rate Of one gallon per 100
pounds Of material, to determine its
influence on the acidity and the pro-
TEN content. The loss of dry matter
and the degree of acidity were greatest
IN the moistened silage. 1t is consid-
cred that acidity and loss of dry mat
ter, which occurs in carbohydrates and
allied substances go hand in hand.
lmmaturity of the plants and extreme
compactness OF the silage favor the
development of organic acids.
