REPUBLICAN, COMMITTEE
Meets in Washington Friday-Perry 8
Heath Not to Resign Right Away.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9-The plans for the
meeting of the Republican national COM
mittee here on Friday and Saturday OF this
week have been about completed. II was
expected that Perry s. Heath. secretary OF
the committee. would arrive here to-day,
but he missed train ana Will not arrive
until tomorrow.
The COMMITTEES will meet at noon on FRI
day at the Arlington Hotel, Senator Hanna
presiding An early recess Will be taken, TO

it's respects TO President Roosevelt. =,
The committee, upon Resembling, will
Immediately take up the principal bust
ness which brings the members together
at this time-the selection OF date and
place for the next Republican national
convention. -,
The general opinion is that Chicago will
be selected, although some members of
the committee were strongly tempted by
the offer OF $500 900 in cash from New Or
leans, on condition that the convention
be held in that city.
The resignation of Perry 8. Heath as
secretary OF the committee is not looked
for at this weeks meeting, despite the
feeling of President Roosevelt that he
should give up his connection with the
Members of the Republican national
committee who have arrived to attend
next Fridays meeting are very favorably
impressed with the details OF the proposl-
ton formulated by Gen. Drayton, the Rhode
Island member. for fixing the number of
oonventio delegates from Southern States
on the basis OF Republican votes cast.
But while Gen. Brayton's plan is popular.
it is not likely that action on this subject
will be taken by the committee. as II Is
the general opinion Of influential Repuhli-
cans that this question should be dealt
with by the convention itself If Gen.
Brayton's proposition and others OF like
character that have been prepared are sub
mitted TO the committee in the form Of
resolutions. they will probably be laid
aside for reference to next summers con-
vention.

Old uaaIeaa.

Next door to where we lived once,
there was great big dog named Vic
tor. He was handsome st. Bernard,
but so large and SO good-natured, run
ming up to everybody and making
friends with all, that the neighbors
gave him nickname, calling him "Old
Useless" They thought he would be
no good, even for watch dog, he took
everybody into his favor SO readily.
So they would say:
"There goes Old Useless, or ask:
Have you seen Useless this morn
ing?"
Some were even disposed to be cross
with him and would give him kick
and cry out:
Get away, Useless. You are no
good"
~ seemed as If the big dog would
understand for he would hang his
head and stink away as IL he were
ashamed.
They, said you could not depend on
him for anything. except to eat all he
fierce that you could never seem to
fill him up.
One man exclaimed:
HE isn't worth half of what 1t takes
to feed him for six months"
So Victor was liked well enough
because he was so kind, but all SEEM
ed to think it waste of money to
have such helpless, do-nothing crea-
ture about.
But after certain night the opinion
of people about Victor was greatly
changed.
He had been put into the shed in
the evening, as usual, and all the folks
had gone to bed and were sound asleep,
when the dog began to bark, in his
loud way, and SO wildly that his mas
ter got up and found that the house
was on fire. The man slept on the
ground floor, and by the time he had
slipped on few clothes he saw that
the upper part of the building was in
flames.
In an attic chamber baby was
sleeping in the care of young woman,
but the woman had run down stairs
when Victor began to bark and now
the baby was alone.
The flames were getting so hot that
no one dared go for the child, but Vic
tor heard 1t cry and sprang through
the smoke and fire and brought the
baby down alive and safe.
They thought, after that, that the
dog was hero and no one called him
odd Useless" any more, and they
spoke of him sometimes as noble VIC
tor. Brooklyn Eagle.

The rapid introduction of the hand
separator is the feature Of the times
in tho Cairy industry. 1t Is largely
solving the question of getting good
skim milk for calf raising, as well as
! having several other important ad-
separated within a few minutes after
being drawn from the COW, is in the
best possible condition for the calf,
and by observing the points mentioned
in this bulletin, and as practised by
the most successful dairymen, little
trouble will be had in raising as good
| calves as are raised in any way. The
majority Of those producing cream or
butter for sale insist on some means
of raising the calf satisfactorily, and
the hand separator seems to fill the
want better than any other system.
Importance of Keeping Pals Clean
| Ono Of the most common causes of
sickness in hand raised calves is feed
ing from dirty pals or cans. Every
utensil which comes in contact with
| milk to be used for feeding should be
| kept clean and scalded as thoroughly
as though the food were to be used
for the owners family. A good rule
is to keep the calf pals as clean as the
milk pals. In feeding grain, no moro
should be fed than will be eaten up
clean. If grain is allowed to remain
in trough 1t often becomes damp and
partly decayed, and may cause sick
ness just as a dirty pail will often do.

Profitable Dairyipp.

Usually II may be said that the most
lgofitable form Of farm is that branch
which requires the strlctest attention.
intelligence and hard work. This is
because comparatively few are willing
to pay the price for the success, and
consequently the market Is not over
stocked with the products. But there
are, OF course, many in these difficult
branches of farming who do not make
hard work OF them, nor do they make
profitable success Of 1t.
There is no work on the farm that
shonld occupy the attention and in
telligence Of the farmer more than
dairying, and, as a rule, this pays bet
ter profits than most others, but only
In proportion to the price paid. Some
times dairying is not profitable, sim.
ply because the man carries it on too
small scale. In order to secure the
best results, the work should be on a
large scale, for then many conven-
fences can be afforded which are not
possible on the small dairy. If one
is to select this branch of agriculture
for living, he should have as many
cows as he can properly feed and han.
die.
There should be a definite relation.
ship between the size Of the farm and
number of cows, but where land is
high and difficult to get. modern meth
ods of intensive farming should be fol-
lowed to make the products as large
as possible from the land. Also 1t Is
well on such farms to adopt winter
dairying. This pays the best, where
the farm Is near large market, and
where land is high priced. 1t is cheap
or to summer the cows than to winter
them, but by making them produce
well in winter. when milk. cheese and
butter are at their highest, we get
large returns for the food.
One should make 1t business then
to farm the land intensively through
the summer, making 1t produce several
crops for winter feeding. One could
learn few good points In this respect
from the market gardeners near cities,
who fertilize and cultivate their land
continually, so that two and some.
times three heavy crops are taken from
the farm In one season. BY such
methods the dairyman who tried win
ter dairying could raise more food and
get more profits from his work-E. P.
