The Slayer in pairyinq.

The dairyman with staying qualities
is the one that makes money in the
end. This past year the prices OF all
kinds of feed have been excessively
high and many are either giving up
the business or preparing to do so il
But this is not the part of wise men.
There are ups and downs in every.
business, and the dairy business has
its downs. But at this time it should.
not be forgotten that it has also its.
ups. If this is a time Of high feed }
there will certainly come a period OF
low-priced feed and Of good returns.
Taking one year with another dairy
prices are as good as can be asked for.
at least so far as the retail prices are,
concerned. The producer that allows
the middleman to take more than his
share is not looking after the business.
The men that stay in dairylng are the
ones that make money out Of it. Near
ly always, however. It win be found
that they have been enabled to be stay
ers because they have studied the
great questions connected with their
business and have taken. advantage Of
every condition; that they have
weeded out the worthless cows and
have provided the best systems Of feed

We recently heard Of case where a
farmer had several COWS made sick
by eating beet pulp. On killing the
animals their stomachs We're found IN
very bad shape and nearly punctured
He could give no reason for IL but
charged Il to the eating Of sugar beet
pulp. We doubt II this was the cause
Not long ago one OF the stations in
the West investigated a similar trouble
and found it due to the presence of
lead dust. The lead dust had become
mixed with the beet pulp by the puIn
being transported in cars in which
lead ore had been hauled. This Is =
factor that must be looked out for. as

Keeping Eaas for Matching.

Eggs for Matching need not be
turned every day, as some believe to
be necessary. Eggs to produce chicks
should not be kept so long that they
would need treatment Of this kind.
II eggs are to be kept longer than a
week they should be put in a dry
place and kept at a temperature not
to exceed so degrees if possible. OF
course the temperature should not be
low enough to permit the eggs to
freeze. 1t is advised by some poul-
trymen not to use for Matching eggs
that are more than ten days old, as
some of the chicks from older eggs
viii prove weak in constitution. In
nature of course it is different A
hen lays a clutch Of eggs in perhaps
three weeks and then begins to sit.
OF course some Of the eggs are then
three weeks old But nature makes
allowance for enormous waste Of ma
terial. Out Of those eggs many of the
chicks that are born soon perish.
Man tries to do away with the natur-
al waste and even to tura it into
profit.

Burlington than in other sections Of
the state, and when one considers that
only a small proportion of the cases
are brought to the attention Of a
veterinarian 1t becomes evident that
the loss is very serious When speak
ing before farmers Institutes during
the past two years we have frequently
shown the plant, described the symp-
toms and asked the experience of local
horse owners. In every such instance
there have been cases of sickness or
death Of horses reported by local
horsemen, and in some places sam
pies Of the suspected hay have been
furnished and the plant found.
Experiments have been conducted
at the station during the last two
winters with a number of horses
The horses died as a result Of feeding
hay Of which one-fourth was horse
tail.
We have no evidence that horses
grazing upon the green plant are
poisoned thereby 1t may be that the
plant is less poisonous in the early
stages Of its growth than when ma
ture, or the Laxative effect of the
grass eaten with it may prevent the
cumulative action of the poison.
Moreover the plant rarely occurs in as
large quantities in pastures as in
meadows and apparently rarely heed

Is abundant close watch should be
kept upon horses pasturing where it
occurs that the animals may be re-

AVAILABLE PAMPHLET,

One of the most interesting publIca- tions to reach our table in quite a while is the Check List of Newspaper and Periodical Files" just issued by The Department of Archives and His tory. It contains 65 pages. half of which is given to Alabama publica- tions, and the remainder to newspapers and periodicals of other States. In this pamphlet MT. owen gives the titles and place of publication of all the news papers and publications, comprising several hundred, of which files or even single copies have been deposited in his of1ice, with date of publication, whether daily or weekly, etc.
 To an old newspaper man, familiar with Alabama journalism for more than half a century. there Is much of inter- est in looking over this list of State publications. and many memories. some of them pleasant and others mournful, are aroused by merely reading the names of these papers. Some of them go back more than four-score years, and many of them ante-date the war between the States. Looking over these old names the mind involuntarily reaches back and in many instances takes in not only the names of editors and publishers, but the appearance and character of the papers. the style of the editorials and other particulars, long since forgotten, but for this Tt. hinder of early newspaper experiences in Alabama. The only thing lacking to make the list complete is the names of those connected with these papers.
 It is the desire of Mir Owen to ob- tain files or even single issues of all Alabama publications, and he will ap- preciate donations of this kind, all of which are carefully preserved in his Department.

The saddest thing The Chicago Trib- une can see in the election results is that the South remained solid. It says:
 The States of the South. governed by vivacity and Independence as the white men of the North, went like a flock of sheep for the Democratic candidate, eahddate stood for pfirGhs in the matter matter of labor. in the matter of trusts, or in the matter of expansion. Now, if we were disposed to apply the Tu quoque style qk argument to the case. we might remind The Tribune that the States of the North went like flock of sheep" for the Republican candidate. without knowing what course he will pursue. or what will be his policy six months from now on any public question. They do not know what he will do or advise on the tariff, the trusts, the Philippine and Panama questions, or on any other matter of importance. He has so often reversed himself in the past that those who sup ported him so blindly have no assur- ance of his position at any time in the future, and cannot be certain that he will be the Roosevelt for whom they voted or another.
 The South Is solid. it Is true. It may be regretable, but ought not to be surprising. The South feared Roose- welt and had good cause for it, as The Tribune we'll knows. because 1t judges the future by the past. But above and beyond all that, the South has recorded itself as being more loyal to the Con- stitution than the North Is. This asser- tion may not be pleasant to some Northern people, but 1t is the truth, just the same. When the North ceases to be solid for one who has not here tofore shown himself a friend to our section, the South will probably do the same, not before.

DUN's TRADE REVIEW,

New York, Nov II R. G. Dun and Company's weekly review of trade to- morrow will say:
 All measures of trade indicated the customary loss due to holiday inter- ruption, but subsequently, much of the deficit was regained. numerous evi- dences of increasing confidence being seen in the disposition to place orders for distant shipment Increased con- sumption of pig iron is also significant and in other leading branches Of manufacture there is a. steadily diminishing per centage of idle machinery.
 Woolen mills are busy despite the fact that 1t is between seasons and the raw wool market Is very strong Foreign commerce at this port for the last week shows a decrease of $562, ,9o5 in exports compared with last year. while imports increased $4.364,S91. Re- cefpts of coffee were a prominent fac- tor in this gain. Railway earnings in October exceeded last years by 3.S per cent.
 Developments in the leading manu- featuring industries are about equal to the most sanguine expectations. De- mand is broadening in a wholesome manner, large contracts ealing for g. heavy tonnage of plates, wire, pipe and sheets. orders for structural shapes were heavier than at any previous time this year and safes of bars were made at $2 above the list prices. An open tendency is sttal noted in leather. union and oak backs being quotably higher. Hides are on a firmer basis with stocks limited and offerings small.
 Little net change Is recorded in the leading textile industries. Buyers of cotton goods still operate cautiously. although sellers are more determined to secure full prices. They claim that there is no prospect of cheaper raw material and present costs of produc- tion warrant the quotations demanded.
 Failures this week numbered 214 in the United States against 2s3 last year and IT in Canada against 27 a year ago

IMPERIALIsM.

One thing is made as plain as pike stan by the recent Republican triumph. and that is that there are no terrors to the average American in the cry of 'fmperialism." Out of deference of certain Eastern agitators a promise of independence to the Filipinos was in- corporated in the Democratic platform at St. Louis. Imperialism had been de- clared to be the paramount issue in 1900 and 1t was attempted to get this place for it this year. There was a signal failure four years ago to achieve this and the failure in 1904 has been equally dismal~ Persons engaged in the Party campaign at the North and West uniformly represent that talk of the independence of the Philippines fell upon Absolutely deaf ears; that there was not a particle of 'go" in 1t and 1t had to be abandoned outright weeks before the election.
 z Is there any probability that 1t can ever be made effective on the. lines hitherto pursued7 We confess we do not think so. There Is a widespread feeling that however many drawbacks there may be to the occupation of the islands, we are not fairly at liberty to shake them of for the present at least.
 The true and sound method of attack upon the problem as we have fre- quently contended here. is to denounce the barbarously selfish policies the Re- publieans have introduced In the Ar chipelago. They have set up schools and. under cover of doing a charitable work, they have felt free to hamper Tn every way the trade and commerce of the islanders with an eye single to the Interests of certain classes in the United States. The islands can never prosper as they might under Republican control. for Republicans believe in a benighted way, that in the measure there is prosperity there. injury is in tiicted here at home. The same Is true of Cuba and Porto Rico. These islands were disinfected and then put in a sweat box of trade restrictions. thus hampering their best natural growth and all in the supposed and certainly designed interest of a few Republicans in the United States.
 With enlightened commercial regu- lations. all of our insuIar dependencies would grow and develop more rapidly and their ultimate destiny could be decided upon with far more sense and discretion than seems possible at this time

SOME OLD SPECIMENS.

Something unique in journalism comes to us from the of1ce of The Nor wich Bulletin. one of the leading Re- publican newspapers in Connecticut. Celebrating its removel to its new home. it issued a photographic copy of the Chelsea Courier" published at Norwich (chelsia Society," by Thomas Hubbard November 30, 17s6. this being the first issue of the new paper. It Is a small four-column folio, with the pe- cuiiar type and style of the newspapers of more than a century ago, and pre- sents a strange appearances to one ta- miliar only with modern Journalism.
 Among the noticeable articles In this number we find a proclamation issued by President Washington, giving off, cial force to an additional article of the treaty between the United States and Great Britian, which article had been ratified by the two nations during the previous October. Another inter- esting item is a communication from
 A. Adet. Minister from the new French Republic to the United States. who had been suspended by, his Gov ernment for some cause or other, some disagreement between the two Govern ments. which would now be considered of little interest, in all probability. And 1t is interesting to find the editor an- nouncing, the latest news from France. which said late news was dated octo- Der l4, fully six weeks before the date of his paper! Such late news wouldn't be very popular in this day.
 Accompanying this little specimen of Eighteenth Century newspaper enter prise Is fac simiie copy of The Nor wich Morning Bulletin. dated Dec. 15. 1858, being the first issue of that paper. Though nearly half century old, 1t has quite a modern appearance as com pared to the other. and it's advertising columns show that the business men of the city were alive to the value of publicity. It was. as now, Republican in politics, and was down on the ad ministration of President Buchanan, who was not administering things to the HhiHS oI the dooiitionisls ol the North, who were then laying plans for the capture of the Government by the Republicans---plans which were soon to culminate in a bitter struggle be- tween the two sections. From 17s6 to 1858. then to 1904. are considerable jumps in newspaper life. and com parison of the three shows how the business of making newspapers has ad- vanced.
