Forcing Fowls to Moult.

Many poultrymen have tried the So
called Van Dresser plan of forcing
fowls to moult early and have met
with varying degrees of success. The
plan consists Of placing the fowls in
q run of rather limited dimensions and
giving them as little food as possible.

Good Milking.

Tests at the Storr's Experiment Sta.
ton show. conclusiyeiy that the amount
sof milk given by the cows and the
RpuritSsof the product both depend
greatly upon the method adopted by
sthemilker. Ore young man, who said
he could milk. was given charge Of the
milking Of six COWS. At the end Of
a'week the quantity given showed a
shrinkage of twelve per cent. In an.
other experiment. in which FIVE boys,
previously taught as to, proper meth:
DDS, were tested as mixers, four in
creased the flow seven, ten and five
per cent, respectively. The following
instructions in regard to milking are
in use at the station.
The mixer should milk regularly,
thoroughly and quietly. He should
wear clean clothes, wash his' hands
before beginning to milk, and never
wet them while milking. The COW
should be brushed before being milked,
and her flank and udder wiped with a
damp cloth in order to minimize, as
far as possible, the number Of bacteria
floating about in the vicinity OF the
pail, and likely to get into the milk.
To the same end the foremilk should
be rejected, and the milking done into
covered pals, with strainers arranged
for the milk to pass through. Reject
ing the first few spurts Of milk from
the teat removes the milk containing
Objectionable germs. The cleaner the
milking is done, the fewer the germs

officers were bought by them is like

WHAT PROHIBITION DOES.

The closing of saloons and stills has
decreased crime in North Carolina.
The Watts law was not advocated as
a measure to reduce stealing and to
lessen the terms of criminal courts, but
1t and kindred legislation that proceed
Ell 1t and made it possible have had
that effect.
Every good judge will state that the
majority OF criminal cases that crowd

the use of Intoxicating liquor. If men
would quit drinking, court costs would
be greatly reduced. Here is the testi-
mony of Judge Oliver II. Allen, in an
interview with reporter of the Charl-
otte Observer:
There has been wonderful decrease
in crime within the past few years.
In Duplin county. for instance. the

of some regulation of Interstate

Senator Ell1ins has a scheme for the
creation of a lot of courts to consider

That would give good jobs to lot of

The only legislation that can be eff

PURNELL OvERRULEs SHEPHERD

In the celebrated case Of the
Greensboro Ice and Coal Company VS..
the Southern Railway, Judge Purnell
has arbitrarily assumed jurisdiction.
The Federal Court has no more right
TO take jurisdiction in that case than
it has in the matter of litigation over
any other claim for $143 between a
North Carolina corporation and the
sacred Southern Railway
The matter was submitted to ex-
Chief Justice Shepherd as Master I'm
Equity. He found that the matter IN
controversy was only the SAB in de-
murrage claimed by the Southern
Railway. If he was right then the
case could not be removed (the claim
must be for more then $4,000 to give
the Federal Court jurisdiction) to the
Federal court-the harbor of refuge
to Which the Southern Railway al
ways hastens when it is unwilling TO
do justice. But Judge Purnell DELHI
erately over-ruled the finding of Judge
Shepherd and holds that the claim of
$143 demurrage is not the matter in
vOlved, but that the matter in litlga-
ton involves all the Interstate bust
ness of the Southern Railway and
upon that theory grasps jurisdiction.
Ex-Chief Justice Shepherd is right
or Judge Purnell is right. Which?

THAT UNKIssED MAN.

The photographers are having plenty
of fun over the announcement of the
approaching marriage of Prof. ALA K.
Crook, professor of mineralogy of the
the Northwestern University, who not
long ago urging his class to higher
life and to hold love too high to be
guilty of flirtations, said: Il have
never either drank, chewed, smoked
or kissed a woman"
Ever since he made that declaration
Prof. Crook has been the object of
ridicule in all the papers in America
and people have held him up as some
rare crank just out of a menagerie.
The declaration of the professor
was not made in public place or for
any purpose to advertise his own
worth, but in the sacred precincts of
his class room to pupils whose charac-
ter and habits were in part in his
keeping He wished to show the young
men that love is so sacred thing
that it should not be made light of.
No man can ever bring to his Wife
the holy love that she would prefer
to everything in life who has been a
promiscuous f1irt. Prof. Crook is among
the exceptions to the rule among men,
but is not his record one to commend
rather than to ridicule?

THE '.WORKINGMAN'S CHARTER
OF LIBERTY.

There is more common sense and
wisdom compressed in the Van Pelt
case by Justice Conner, published in
today's News and Observer, than is Of
ten found in a judicial opinion.
In it Judge Connor shows thar the
skill and muscle of the mechanic is as
much capital as the dollars of the
large investor ard is entitled to the
equal protection of the law. With
that as the solid mud-sill, the learned
and just Judge has written Of the
rights of labor to organize in the
spirit Of the best thought Of America.
The decision of the North Carolina Su-
preme Court is in line with that Of ar,
important opinion by Judge Parker Of
the New York Supreme Court and an
equally important opinion by Justice
Holmes of the United States Supreme
Court.
There is so much Of misunderstand-
ing of the judicial rights Of labor in it's
organized capacity that we commend
a careful reading of Judge Connor's
opinion to every employer of labor and
every man whose skill and muscle
constitutes his capital 1t will clear up
all misunderstanding. The court stands
upon ground that is firm ard solid.

TO A BROKEN STICK

In the matter of religion it must be
stated as sad fact that the world is
drifting too far into mere materialism.
The eternal verities seem to have no
place in the life and thought of many
successful men. They have discarded
what they call the old theology Many
have put nothing at all in its place,
living upon the motto: Let us eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die The supreme question of after
this life, WHAT" is drowned in the
stress of business and the whirl of
pleasure. Others still are trusting in
a broken stick, seeking TO make the
ethics of this or that writer substi-
tute for the Thus sayeth the Lord.
Perhaps the worst example of this
decadence is the following commune
cation in a late issue of the New York
Sun:
To the Editor:-I lately sat with
a level headed banker and listened to
a sermon where full proof Calvinism
was dispensed. Leaving the service

RICHARD GILBERT.
New York, Dec. 10.
What is the Suns religion? Is it
based upon The Book? Or is it sort
of religion as shifty and as elusive
and as checkered as the Suns politics?
Some Calvinists may stress too much
the doctrine of Observation-Disclosures
than the Bible would seem to warrant.
But compare the religion preached by
John Calvin and that of the New York
Sun. "Dunghill TO a diamond" The
world owes to the disciples of John
Calvin debt for devotion to duty, to
illumined every page of American his
toryl What sort of missionaries TO
benighted Africa would disciples of
'the Suns religion" give us? What
self-sacrifice, what charitable institu-
tons, what teaching. what blending OF
duty to God and man? John Calvin's
doctrine gave us Stonewall Jackson.
What man comparable to him has the
Suns religion given to this country?
Is it a j. Pierpont Morgan, reputed
TO be the real owner of the Sun? Is
it disciple of the Dana school OF
flippant treatment of serious queS-
tons? Is it a follower Of the Latin
school which has caused some one
to say IF you see it in the Sun, it's a
sneer?"
1.-The Suns religion" may serve as
a balm to the conscience of Wall
Street Spectators who deny the super
natural in religion, but no religion
that depends upon anything less vital
and eternal than the Word of the
Living God is worthy to be called
religion. 1t may be d balm to a
so-called conscience in days of ease
and prosperity, but it gives no COM
fort in pain or adversely and it gives
no light beyond the grave, and no
strength for the hour of endurance.
