Points of a Good Dairy Cow.

[ will endeayor to give few of
what many years of experience has
taught me ito believe are essential
points in selecting a profitable dairy
COW, and will commence at the nose.
Take COW that can put her nose in "a
t1ncup-you cen take lineup to milk
her in; but cow that it takes q buck
ct to get her nose in, you will have to
take bucket to milk her in. In
/ of either sex, in order to make prof
liable dairy animal, to have a great
broad mouth $50 it can NOV a wide
swath), with thin lips indicating a
thin hide and fineneSs throughout, en-
abIlng it to sift out most of the nutri-
to you in its milk; with broad, open
| nostrils, giving it good breathing ca
pacity; and short from nose to eyes
long in this space indicates long in
the legs; too much wind blows under
it and soon dries UP the milk, even if
broad between the eyes, indicating a
broad deep COW throughout, with good
heart, lungs, liver and digestive or
gans; large, full eyes, indicating plen-
ty of nerve force to carry out the re-
quirements of the body; long from
eyes to horns, indicating good sense;
narrow between horns, indicating but
little combativeness and a mild dis
position; we'll developed body, not
'pot-gutted," with large teats and
plenty of loose skin for udder devel-
opment-but not large, meaty, feshy
udder- that will be nearly as large
after being MIXED as it was before;
long tail with a good switch to enable
the COW to keep the flies from sucking
her blood that goes to produce milk.
| There are other indications, but these
are enough to give beginner a start.

Little Profit in Cooking Feed. !.

The utility in cooking feed for ami
mals, and especially for pigs, was
given most attention in the days previ-
GUS to investigations by experiment
stations. Cooking feed is no longer
regarded as an economical practice for
fattening animals. However, for breed
ing stock and sick animals, and for
animals which it is desired to put into
the very highest condition, cooking
may be practiced with good results, if
expense is disregarded. Pigs so fed
show marked thriftinoss and health.

Gossip of men
 and nlatferx
A Mendicant for Gorrnan

The Montgomery man whose daily bus. mess requires frequent or occasional trips through the business streets of the city en- counters in time 8 variegated assortment of takirs with picturesque array of hard luck stories. These stories range from the modest shame-faced plea Of the man he has known in better days to the in. sistent cry of Don't pass me by," of the legless man with the megaphone voice.
 Some of these pleas and petitions to the pocket book are a decided credit to the imagination and ingenuity of their n1ak- ers They display a knowledge of human nature, a fertility of resources which, if they should be used in directing industry in proper channels should assure their owners of an honest and independent hv- ing.
 Perhaps the oldest character, with one of the most unusual pleas, had posses sion of a Dexter Avenue corner yester- day. This particular petitioner owns a pair of blear eyes, a red head and a mus tache of the same color. He was unsteady on his feet and talked thickly.
 Here was his graft.
 Captain; oh, Captain; I don't want your money. I'm an honest man and honest men are rare, I'm a stranger in your town and what I want to say is vote for Arthur Pue German for President. ] want to ask your support and your in. fuence for that great statesman"

ALABAMA WATER POWERS.

Few people. even in Alabama, are aware of the almost unlimited water power which can be controlled and utilized in the State. In the current issue of The Chattanooga Tradesman is an article on Southern Water Powers" by B. M. Hall, from which we take only three in- stances of the vast undeveloped powers on three Alabama Rivers. This table shows that on eight miles of the Talla- poosa River, above the back water of the upper dam, at Tallassee, there is an es- umated available power amounting to I3,200 horsepower for ten hours a day. On hfty-five miles of the Coosa River above wetumpka, 1s7.O and on the Ten. nessee River from Decatur to Waterloo near the Mississippi line, AS6,OOO, making a total of S36,20O horse power for a ten-houl days work.
 This, as stated, is the estimated power not yet developed or controlled, and or only three streams. When we think of the hundreds of places in the State on small and large streams where no ef- forts have been made to utilize the power now going to waste. we can form some faint idea of the immense possibilities of Alabama. It also shows that our peo- pie need no longer be dependent on steam as a power producer. Railroads are pene- trating all sections of the State, and with the wonderful developments in electrical invention, it Is easy to see that the time Is soon coming when we will be inde- pendent of coal and wood, so far as they are used to operate our mills, factories, shops and car lines. All the power re- quired for any purpose can be obtained from the waters. and they will be har- messed and made to do all the work.
 By the way, the issue of The Trades man for January list is not only an ex- ceedingly handsome publication, but 1t is devoted almost entirely to descriptions and illustrations of the industries and prospects of the South. Alabama coming in for a liberal share. It is a valuable book of reference

PILGRIMS AND PURrTANs.
One Landed at Plymuth in 1890, the
 Other at Salem in 1928.

San Francisco Chronicle
 "ForefaEhers's Day. was observed at the First Unitarian Church in Oakland, Cal. on, the evening of December 20. Colonel John P, Irish presided, and related in brief the causes which led the Pilgrims to forsake their native land and cast their lot In a new and strange country: tarian Church, the Rev. George W. Stone, who was formerly the Historian of the Massachusetts Society of Mayflower De- SsY bsh the a6S'sss of the the Pilgrim era He defined at length the difference between the Puritans and the Pilgrims. In part. he said:
 Bear in mind that the 'Scrooby con: gregation was the last organization of Separatists that existed in England at that time; 1t fled to Holland in 1907, and after thirteen years residence there 1t founded the Pilgrim Republic at Ply mouth in 1920. Notice that 1t was thir- teen years after the Pilgrims left Eng land and eight years after they planted the Puritans left England, The Puritans landed at Salem, and there the first Puri- tan church in America was established in
 '"This church was at first an Episcopal Church, but under the influence of Sur. geon Fuller of Plymouth, who was sent to Salem to assist during the prevalence of what is called in the records "a plague, kne SoHSTeSdtlOHdl system was dQoPlSu. This was accomplished under the lead of Governor Endicott. in 1929 The Pilgrims. therefore. were the pioneers in the settle ment of this country, and to them rather than to the Puritans. do we owe what le best in our national life, and might add. most of those principles and practices which differentiate us from the other na- tions of the earth. Let us remember. also. that the Pilgrims, and not the Pu- ritans. were the founders of ConErega- tionalism in Europe and in America"

rYpIcAE INSTANCE

From The Minneapolis Journal We Ret a characteristically pitiful story of racial intolerance in the Northwest. Briefly, the story is that there was a musical con- test in Des Moines. and In order that the judges should decide impartiaily they were not allowed to see the piano or the contestants while they were playing. When they had announced the winner it was found that she was a colored girl. Here was a robustious hornets nest, and all the insects got busy. A meeting of the society which offered the prize was hurrriedly called. consultation held ana it was decided that the prize should not be given to colored person.
 Of course the girl was mortified and humiIiated. T am not to blame for hay, Ing q black skin,' she walled, but hel grief had no effect. The society or tn, committee having the matter in eharg, made two grave mistakes. Knowing tn, bitter feeling against colored people pre- ailing in that section, they should no ave allowed the girl to compete. Tha vas the first mistake. but it was nothin, the bitterness and prejudice whicl 'ould withhold from the girl pr,zt

 According to the authority quoted the gross increase in population in Australia in the last ten years has not been more than 5000. Homes are sought elsewhere by the young men who are disgusted with the results of government on the socialis- tic plan. The Socialists are in full con trol in some of the provinces and the re- suit is said to be virtual confiscation Of property interests, the prevention of the just reward of individual effort and abil- ity, the withdrawal of investments, and the removal of the most vigorous and promising element in the population to fairer scenes. In New South Wales the population has decreased by thousands from this cause within the last three years.
 American converts to socialism will say that The Globe is prejudiced and unfair. but that paper defies anybody to prove that its statements are not correct, and certainly all the disastrous results of government interference in private busi- ness which 1t pictures are inherently prob able. We may congratulate ourselves that the growth of the socialistic party in this country has received decided check and that such costly experiments as those made in Australia are never likely to be witnessed in this country.

A REMARKABLE VERDICT.
MT. Scawell Gets $4,5oo for Stoppin
 Eiftesn Bad Egra.

Forty-lve hundred dollars for fifteen odoriferous eggs Is the price the Supreme Court of this State has just put on this article of commerce by decision in the action of Henry gF. -Seawell against the Seaboard Air Line Railway, says a Raj. eigh, N. C., dispatch to The New York Press.
 In the year 1900. MT. Seawell was the Republican-Populist candidate for Lieu tenant Governor. During the campaign he went to the town of Shelby to fill an appointment of Senator Marion Butler In the course of his remarks he excited the anger of the Democrats in his au- dience by a scathing denunciation of the methods of their party. The Democrats attempted to prevent Mir. Seawell from finishing his speech and he denounced them in unmeasured terms for their row. dyism.
 After his speech MT. Seawell went to the railroad station and crowd of in. furiated Democrats followed him. MT Seawell bought his ticket and proceeded to promenade on the platform. He was fautlessly dressed in a high silk hat, a black Prince Albert coat, white vest, doe. skin trousers and patent leather shoes and carried a gold-headed cane.
 The Democrats armed themselves with eggs which had been in existence several months under hot sun, and as Mir. Sea- well appeared on the platform the eggs were hurled at him. They burst all round him, and fifteen by actual count struck his apparel. In addition to the disgusting appearance which the contents of the eggs gave to his clothes, the intensified odor arising therefrom made MT. Seawell despise himself for the time being and kept his friends at a distance.
 For this indignity and assault and bat. tery MT. Seawell brought suit against the Seaboard Air Line Company, because the agent at the station and other em. ployes of the company actively engaged i'll dashing stale eggs against him. The case was tried in the Superior Court and was decided in favor of the plaintiff. The Supreme Court has just affirmed the de- cision of the Superior Court, with an in. timation that the jury might have in creased the amount of damages without making the sum excessive or exorbitant.

KING PETERS WOES.
Enjoys Few Privileges and is Gensr-
 ally Snubbed.

Men ana women.
 King Peter of Servia feels more and more convinced every day that he made mistake when he gave up the life of q private gentleman for that of monarch of such a State as Servia, where he enjoys few of the privileges and dignities of Kingship, and where his life is so unsafe that the insurance companies ask an ab- solutely prohibitive premium for a policy upon It. Moreover he is being systemati- cally snubbed by most other sovereigns and States, and by none so persistently as by Great Britain which has refused to have any diplomatic relations with the country since the terrible murders that were enacted there.
 The other day the King sent his con- gratulations on King Edwards birthday to the British charge d'affairs at Bel grade, who promptly declined to receive them; and Peter now Is pleading with the Czar for his intercession with this coun- try. It is not likely to be successful. Not long ago a Genexese citizen, with whom his Majesty was on friendly terms, said to his face: "Ah, poor Peteri Thou wilt. have no more quiet days, and no many happy ones. l fear. I would not exchange places with thee for all the world"
 He receives by every post a variety of | disturbing predictions as to what is like- ly to happen to him, and therefore deems 1t wisest to have fire escape permanent | ly attached to his bed room window.

NIAGARA ALMOST DRY.
Water Diverted from the American
 Side by Ice Accommodations.

Philadelphia Record.
 The spectacle of dry Niagara has again been enjoyed, but hardly in the same de- gree of the remarkable event of March 2, 1908, when thousands of people walked up and down the dry riverbed immedi- ately above the pretty bridges that guide the pedestrian to Goat Island. This lat est vision of the great falls of Niagara running dry began to be enjoyed on Sat urday last, and that day the spectacle was strange, Indeed. All that day the wind blew from the east, and had the effect of holding the water of Lake Erie back from the entrance to the mighty river. This lessened the flow into the river channel, and naturally the supply of the great waterfalls was lessened. The weather was exceedingly cold, and ice formed all about the shallow places in the island vicinity. Looking up from Prospectpoint, the view was startling, and it was evident that should the east wind continue to blow the American fall would so out of business within few hours
 The scene at the brink was astonish- ing. So slow was the flow through the great channels where great torrent usu- ally tears along that ice projected sew eral feet out from the rocky edge of the precipice of the fall. In other words, the water that managed to reach the brink was so lacking in the usual volume that all it could do was to roll lazily over the brink. Its chaotic rush, it's customary velocity. were all gone, and. really. it looked as though from it the much-talked- about-power of Niagara had been previ- ously extracted. It was simply a lazy dripping over the limestone ledge lack ing in the tumult and toss for which Ni- agara Is far-famed
 In the vicinity of the head of Goat Is- land the ice formation was so massive that it diverted the normal flow of the American channel. resulting in a large Increase of the volume of water that plunged over the Horseshoe Fall. This nerce torrent was best seen from the out CT shore of the Third Sister Island. where the river appeared to have doubled in vol- tune and velOcityJ

 States Senator acts at his peril
 Summers is not the only Republican
 who has been over-zealous in the line Of
 duty. thinking he would please the bosses. and afterwards found out that they didn't expect him to do what they virtually or
 der ed him to do. He thought his duty required him to convict even a Republican Senator who had violated the law, but he now knows better.
 Speaking of this and the Driggs case, we learn from some of the newspaper com- ments and explanations that there is slight difference in two sections of the statute under which the two men were tried. By one clause a Congressman Is forbidden to take any compensation for procuring an oflce or contract. and in the other clause he Is forbidden ''at any time after his election to take any com pensation. Under the first clause Dietrich escaped and under the other Driggs was convicted.
 From a strictly legal point of view, there is a technical difference in the two cases. but in their moral aspect there i5 none. Each was guilty of the same of- fence. and each violated the law. Driggs could not be convicted under the first clause of the law. but they caught him with the second. Dietrich could not be convicted under the first clause and the second was not applied. It was nice specimen of hair-splitting. as well as of political selection, by which a Democrat was convicted and a Republican was not. It was a skin.game. and a close one. Both were congressmen. both had been elected. both were drawing pay and both were guilty of bribery. but they are of dinerent politics and that settled 1t.
 By the way, The Chattanooga Times concludes that Driggs was properly pun ished. and adds that public sentiment will attend to Heath and Dietrich." We may be inexcusably dense. but We fail to see how public sentiment will affect a Republican official while his Party is in power There is no such sentiment pow erful enough to send a prominent Repubii- can into retirement as long as he is up- held and sustained by those of his own Party who have both the will and the power to shield him.
