WEDNESDAYS MEETING.

After the experience meeting Wed

Of dairy division Of the agricultural
department., spoke on the Dairy
Cow, Milk and Its Products" !" For

claimed to be better; but as a rule
they are not best. They are not first

COW turns all her food, except enough
barely to support life, into milk.
The two questions to be considered
in the dairy COW are quantity and
quality. Quality is more important
than quantity. The quality is in the
COW, while quantity is matter Of
treatment. Quality cannot be per-

The combinations, popularly called
trusts, which aim to secure mOnopo-
lyof trade in the necessaries Of life as
well as in those things that are en-
ployed upon the farm, in the factory
and in many other fields Of industry,
have been encouraged and stimulated
by excessive tariff duties. These oper-
ate to furnish a substantial market in
the necessities Of eighty millions of
people, by practically excluding COM
petition. With so large market and
highly remunerative prices continuing
long after the line Of possible competi-
ton would naturally be reached, the
temptation Of al engaged in the same
business to combine so as to prevent
competition at home and resulting
reduction Of prices has proved irresis-

THURSDAY MORNING.
There was a large crowd at the
institute at the morning session
Thursday and all seemed to enjoy the
day. Men and women are seen on
every part Of the grounds and through
all the buildings. Many are here for
enjoyment and seem to get it. 9th
ers are here for information and are
getting what they come for. Every
body seems happy, and while few
are beginning to leave, most seem
anxious to stay through the meeting.
The first speaker Of the morning
was Maj. Henry E. Alvord, who dis.
cussed principles OF Feeding" There
is great variety and quantity of food
and feeding. While these foods differ
outwardly, intrinsically they are near
ly the same. If we understand the
principles Of feeding, therefore, we
have all that is necessary.
Purposes Of food and feeding: Moth

The Huron Journal-W World says
an emigrant train consisting Of
nineteen cars passed through that
city one day last week bound for
points north and west of that
place. These settlers, the World
says, are only the advance guard
of large immigration which is
coming as soon as the weather be-
comes more favorable. The J.-W.
says truthfully:
After twenty years Of hard, ex-
pensive experience the farmer has
learned what the soil will do and
is doing a prosperous business at
the old stand. If the newcomers
listen and learn they will prosper
and in few years will nave homes

The fight that is being waged on
Congressman Martin in his home
county appears to be very short
sighted, but it is probable that his
opponents will be as short Oh votes
as they are on political sagacity,
Certainly no candidate could be
put forward from the Hills who
would command the support from
the eastern part of the state that
Mr.. Martin will, and the surest
way for that part of the state to re-
tain representative in congress is
to unite on the man that is most
popular throughout the state.

Southern Congressmen on the Stump.

Our special Washington correspond ent is perhaps mistaken when he says all other congressman should follow the example of John Sharp Williams and Oscar W. Underwood by offering their services to the national commit tee. All would if they thought they could thereby advance the democratic cause. All, however, are not adapted to work on the stump in the north, The forid effervescent orator who bub- bles up now and then in the west and south would not be influential in the east. Men of reputation who will dis cuss public issues in a quiet, sensible way would be accorded hearing, and sectionalism would not enter their minds. We have some congressman In this state who could not move an eastern audience, and we have some, like MT. Underwood, who will com mand attention and will help the cause.
 The situation is generally under stood by congressman, and more would volunteer if they could interest east ern audiences. John B. Knox would, if more generally known, be a fine stumper for eastern use, and it is per haps regrettable that his level-headed, 5udicious, fair-minded services are not available. He is the very type of a speaker the east prefers But the speaker whose utterances largely con sist of froth and storytelling is not wanted, the eastern audiences being practical and unsentimental.
 A careful selection of southern speakers, made py Chairman Cowherd, could accomplish in the next six weeks a good deal in the contested states, and .-he Age-Herald is confi- dent MT. Cowherd would not call upon any southern senator or representa- tive in vain. All will respond who are wantad

East Alabama Prosperous.

'I have just returned from East Ala bama." said Eli c. Pugh yesterday "and I find the people over there prosperous and contented. The farmers have made good crops and are receiving good price for cotton. This has brought more mo- ney int6 circulation and has made every body feel good. The merchants are be- ing paid old accounts and farmers every where are taking up notes and mortgages l formerly lived in Tallapoosa county and great changes have taken place there since I left.
 "The farmers are using modern meth ods and are raising diversified crops. can remember very we'll when some far mers thought it not worth while to raise garden. Some of them would not even raise enough corn to run them through the winter and would turn their en- tire attention to cotton Cotton went down and 1t was a blessing to that part of the country It forced the farmers to raise other kinds of crops and now that the price of cotton is reasonably high they are in excellent shape. It taught them the lesson or not pinning their entire faith to cotton. Now they reap the benefits of good cotton crops but are not entirely dependent there on"

a corporation which is to build warehouses to hold surplus cot ton, thereby preventing glutting or tte market. The plan adopted is known as the "Waco plan"
 In the meanwhile the association urges the cotton growers to withhold from the market all middling cotton that does not command 10 cents. The association drew the line at the right noint when it named 10 cents as the accentable minimum. The Age-Herald has repeatedly asked the farmers oi Alabama to hold al cotton that will not bring 10 cents. There is no top crop. and rust and shedding have made inroads upon the middie and bottom crops. Expert observers are modify ing their estimates of the crop. It is not to be a record maker. The warn dry weather is increasing port receipts to high figures, but those figures are no indication of the size of the crop

 which you cannot secure 10 cents

PARKER's LETTER
A Splendid Platform.

 From the Chattanooga News.
 Judge Parkers letter of acceptance may be condensed into an appeal for peace, economy in government and honesty in the public service. They are the three great principles for which he stands. He epltomizes the campaign issues in these five questions:
 Shall economy of administration be de- manded, or shall extravaganza be en- outraged?
 Shall the wrongdoer be brought to bay by the people, or for special privileges?
 Shall our government stand for equal opportunity, or for special privilege?
 Shall 1t remain a government of law, or become one of individual caprice?
 Shall we cling to the rule of the peo- pie, or shall we embrace beneficent des- potism?"
 In this brief space the reader may find succinctly stated the issues of the cam paign and the principles for which Judge Parker stands To the man who desires to reach a correct understanding of the issues, and has not the time to read and analyze Judge Parkers letter, this synop- sis will prove of value. He should under- stand that the republican party. opposes every principle which Judge Parker de- fends.

THE CORN SONG.

By John Greenleaf Whittier. Heap high the farmers wintry hoard! Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has autumn poured
 From out her lavish frorn' Let other lands, exulting, glean
 The apple from the pine. The orange from it's glossy green.
 The cluster from the vine. We better love the hardy gift
 Our rugged wales bestow. To cheer us when the storm shall drift Our harvest fields with snow Through wales of grass and meads oi
 flowers,
 Our blows their furrows made, While on the hills the sun and shoWefD Of changeabe April played. Let earth withhold her goodly root, Let ruildew blight the rye, Give to the worm the orchards fruit, The wheat field to the fly. But let the good old crop adorn
 The hills our fathers trod; Still let us, for his golden corn, Send up our thanks to God

Manliness of the Man.

Referring to President Roosevelts famous pension order No. 7S, wherein he usurped legislative authority, and the republican spell-binders' inquiry, "What are you going to do about it?" Judge Parker, in his letter of accept ance, boldly announces, eff elected will revoke that order"
 Thus the leader of the democratic hosts takes up the gauntlet thrown down by the violators of constitutional law, and lifts on high the banner of right and honesty.
 Judge Parker's brave utterance on this subject is such departure from the practice of the modern political aspirant as to command for him the respect and admiration of high-minded men of all parties and to assure to the democratic ticket the hearty sup Srt of that vast army of honest, in Sdent voters, who look rather tc tha aa,s,,ws.and safety of the republic .ho ssssss df either of the than to the succeaAn, tb,a conflict great political parties iM n,,, J,
 The utterance above quot ..s down in history with that of CfaZ said, q would rather be right tfagl be President" but it will more fully awaken the minds of the American voters today than did the words of Clay, spoken many years ago, when Rooseveltism did not threaten the bal. ance scales, when the constitution was not harassed by executive usurpation and when corruption in high places did not so greatly jeopardize the liberties of the people.
 If 1t be true that courage enlarges resources, certain it is that Judge Par. ker has opened new fields for a culti- vation of patriotic democratic princi. pies by this one answer to the republi- can party. It demonstrates that he is today throned on truth and justice, which fact qualities him most nobly, in such crisis as this, for the higest | seat in the gift of the American peo. pie.
