He Was a Wealthy Negro.

Warren c. Coleman, one OF the pest
known negroes in the United States
died recently at Concord, N. II. Cole-
man was one of the most remarkable
men of his race. Starting life IN pow
erty, he became through his own eX-
ertions one of the wealthiest negroes
in the country. He was once a stu
dent at Howard university in WASH
ington, sustaining himself. Coleman
later established himself in business
and purchased real estate. AT the
time of his death he was said to be
the owner of 100 houses, none or
which were incumbered. Coleman
started the first cotton factory IN
this country owned and operated by
his people. He built beautiful brick
church in Concord and presented 1t
to the congregation. He was one OF
the chief promoters of the cOlored
state industrial fair, held annually at
Raleigh for the past twenty-five years.

Good and Poor Steers.

If a man will visit the Union Stock
yards, Chicago, and watch the buyers
selecting cattle he will soon come
to understand that an animal, to
bring the good prices desired by the
seller, must have something more
than weight and fat. The good cat
tie are in demand and the buyers
compete with each other in bidding
for them. But when they get to the
rough cattle it is different. These do
not catch the eyes of the buyers and
the latter do not feel the interest
in buying that they evince when
bidding for the other animals. The
easy sellers are high grade, which
means that they show in their con-
formation and coloring much blood
from some one of the accepted beef
breeds The really good cattle do not
comprise one-tenth of the total num-
Der going to the yards. 1t not in
frequently happens that a farmer
takes a bunch of steers to market and
gets for them only about one-half the
price he expected to receive. Profes-
sor Munford tells the writer that the
buyers value the cattle largely accord
ing to the proportion of improved
blood they show, unless this improved
blood is dairy blood, in which case
it is a detriment rather than a help
The dairy cow or steer may get fat,
anS show good weight but the butcher
knows that when he comes to kill
and dress the animal he will find the
greater part Of the fat on the intes
tines where it has but little CONNER
cial value. A very large per cent
of the animals coming to the stock
yards are poor, inferior animals, both
in finish and form.

Good Feed for Dairy Cows.

Sooner or later we are going to
have trouble in some of our western
states on account of fermented foods
fed dairy COWS and the unsophisticat-
ed state of some of the men engaged
in enforcing dairy inspection laws. We
heard recently of the attempt by an
assistant dairy and food commissioner
to stop the feeding of waste from the
distiileries. Now, distillery waste,
brewers, grains and silage are all
more or less fermented when they
come to the cow, but they are good
feeds for all that. Sauerkraut is
partly fermented food, but it is served
on all our tables, and no one finds
fault with it because Of its partial fer
mentation.

Opal, Wyo., May 16.-After suffer
ing terribly for four or five years, Mr..
A. ]. KOhner of this place, has been
completely restored to good health.
His case and its cure is another proof
of the wonderful work DOdd's Kidney
Pills can do. Mr.. Kohner says:
For four or five years l have been
sufferer with Kidney trouble and a
pain over my Kidneys. l thought
would give DOdd's Kidney Pills trial
ard l am glad did so, for they have
done me good work and l feel all

Many cases are being reported
every week in which Dodd's Kidney
Pills have effected cures of the most
serious cases.
These strong testimonies from earn
est men and women are splendid tri-
butas to the curative properties of
Dodd's Kidney Pills and Judging by
these letters, there is no case of Kid

Diseases

One of the greatest foes with which
every family has to contend is our
changeable climate. To protect the
family from colds and coughs is always
aserious problem, and often impossible.
Sooner or later it is the inevitable
fate of every one to catch cold. Care in
avoiding exposure and the use of proper
clothing will protect from the fre-
quency and perhaps theseverity of colds,
but with the greatest of precautions
they will come. This is a settled fact
of human experience. Everybody must
expect to be caught somewhere or
somehow.
Perhaps it will be wet feet, or a
draught, or damp clothes. or it may be
one of a thousand other little mishaps,
but 40 one is shrewd enough to always
avoid the inevitable catching cold.
There is no fact of medical science
better known than that Peruna cures
ca,arrh wherever located. Thousands
of families in all parts of the United
States are projected from colds and
catarrh by Peruna. Once in the family

Food and Size of Cows.

Good and persistent milking pro-
duces mixers and the development
Of milking qualities, whereas on the
contrary If irregularity and neglect is
practiced the talents which would de-
velop with use will naturally disap-
pear, even what there is. 1t is
great mistake to suppose that dairy
COWS all belong to one breed, says
Robt. Pethbridge. They vary from the
Small Kerry of Ireland, the fine Jer-
sey and Guernsey of the Channel Is
lands, the hardy Ayrshire of Scotland,
the dual-purpose Shorthorn and De
Won Of the west Of England, to the
Red Polled Norfolk of the east of
England and others, all of which with
selection and development produce
magnificent dairy COWS. 1t is the
character of the food more than any
thing else that determines the size.
AS we know, in those districts which
do not produce rich and abundant
grasses you will not find large COWS,
and in those districts which do pro-
duce the necessary constituents for
growth and milk producing, in a few
years a small bred animal will be-
come the parent of a large type, and
with continuous milking will furnish
many good mixers. Select and test
your COWS and use a bull from a fam
lily which has milk record, and re-
member that your bull is half your
herd.

Quality of Butter.

Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors to be considered by the
buttermakers at present and for each
step he is taking these two factors
should be kept in view and be the
main centers for all his labors, says
NJ. Mortensen. Some think that in
order that such butter may be pro-
duced it is necessary that the butter
be made in smaller creameries where
all of the territory is within easy
reach of the factory. Others claim
that the central plants have advan-
tages over the smaller ones in manu-
featuring butter of that quality, while
still others claim that this is easily
done in a whole milk plant, but not
in q creamery run on the hand sepa-
rator plan. These various ideas are
not really true. We are able to make
high grade of butter under any of
these systems providing the proper
methods are adopted. Some of the
main factors to be considered in this
connection are, the condition of raw
material, pasteuriZation and the use
of commercial starters.

Bcracic Acid in Butter.

The Australians never seem to get
done considering milk and butter pre-
servatives in some form or other. On
account of having to send some Of
their products thousands of miles to
market. they are perhaps more preju-
diced in favor Of preservatives than
are the people in this country where
the markets are nearer the places OF
production. At Sydney a parliament
ary committee has been investigating
the use of boracic acid in butter, and,
in report expresses the belief that
% grains of boracic acid per pound of
butter will do no harm. 1t is to be
inferred that above the 25 grains
harm will result. Whether this be a
point of danger or not we do not
know, but the principal thing is that
there is a danger point. The man
that buys butter doctored with boracic
acid has no means of telling whether
there be 25 or more grains of the pre-
serVative in it. There is likely to be
more rather than less, as there is al
ways a tendency to overdo a matter
OF that kind. 1t must be remembered
that scientists are not the ones that
add the preservatives, but usually ig-
norant people that know very little
about such matters. What makes the
matter worse is that the men that use
preserVatives are generally of the
opinion that they are harmless and
are hence ready to use all they can
afford to.

Feedinu Grain to Cows

Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture.
1t will pay to feed some grain to the
COWS on pasture unless conditions are
exceptional The amount fed in the
winter should be cut in half in the
summer, except in the dryest months,
when the grain ration may be tenn
porarily increased. Some of the best
dairymen in the country are doing
this, though they are not getting their
money back for it in the summer time.
But their COWS go into winter with
more vigor and are healthier as a rule
for the good summer treatment they
have received. 1t is simply one way
of investing money for the future. Its
results are not seen so much in the
milk pail as experienced in various
ways in the thrift of the calf that is
born later and in the ability of the
mother to make the most of the food
that is given her in the winter.

The Sheet Anchor.

Live stock has been described as
the sheet anchor" of our agricul-
tural prosperity. 1t is certain that
the nations that have become rich
agriculturally have been those that
have had a large amount of live stock
One reason for this is that substance
OF food value can be carried over in
the animal from year to year, while
in the vegetable form it quickly dis
appears. Also the farm animals take
the rough substances, such as the
grasses, and change them into feed
and force. The COW, the sheep and
the pig change them into meat prod
uct that goes to feed the world. The
horse changes these grasses into
force that does the work of the world
or large part of it. How much
would grass be worth to man with
say that grass is one of our great
national riches, but animals alone
make the riches available. On our
western plains the buffalo grass has
been growing for generations and
for decades the great herds Of cattle
and flocks of sheep have been chang
iIg that buffalo grass into meat. part
of which has gone to feed our own
people and part Of which has gone
across the ocean, starting hither-
ward a stream of gold that has
made the United States one of the
richest nations in the world.
No farmer can afford to pass the
matter of stock raising by without
proper consideration, though not every
farmer can proftably engage in it. 1t
is safe to say that hundreds of thou
sands of our farms are carrying too
little stock for the greatest profit.
Especially is this true in the south,
where farmers have been very slow
to appreciate the very great utility
of stock on the farm.

Soft Corn as Feed.

The soft corn problem is a serious
one. In many sections of our state
during the past two years there were
large areas on which the corn was
worthless from q market standpoint.
1t must either be fed to live stock or
allowed to rot in the field. To the
man who had plenty of stock the
commercial value of this. product was
not a serious question. He could
solve the same by feeding it to his
animals. We have a large number
OF farmers, however, who belong to
the class called grain growers. Thus,
they had to either sell this soft corn
for feeding purposes, or else allow 1t
to rot in the fields. To them the
commercial value of this product was
an important question. 1t was also
an important question to the cattle
feeders who had to purchase soft
corn for feeding purposes. We re-
celVed great many requests from
parties belonging to both classes ask
ing for information concerning the
feeding value of this soft corn.
We therefore conducted some eX-
periments with the hope Of giving
them some aid. 1t is very likely that
in the future. we will conduct some
further experiments with the hope of
finding some feed stuffs which per-
haps can be fed to advantage with
soft corn for fattening cattle. Many
attributed the large losses which re-
suited in many sections of the country
last year from the cattle feeding busi-
ness to the fact that the corn was
of poor quality. Perhaps some of
these losses might be attributed to
this cause. In the majority of cases,
however, l think the trouble was due
to the fact that feeding cattle in the
fall of 1902 were unusually high in
price, and the finished cattle in the
spring of 1903 were rather low in
price. In too many instances cattle
which were bought for five cents per
pound as feeders had to be sold for
less when sent to the market as fin
ished animals.
