GEN. JOHN B. GORDON ILL.
His Physicians Regard His Condition
as Very Critical.

A dispatch from Miami, Fla, yesterday
says:
Gen. John &. Gordon is dangerously i'll
at his home, Biscayne. seven miles north of
this city. The attack is similar to that he
suffered from some time ago on a railroad
train in Mississippi. 1t is Inflammation of
the stomach. caused by an acute attack of
indigestion. to which he is subject.
The following bulletin was issued at 8
pm. by the attending physicians of Gen
Gordon:
Gen John B. Gordon's condition remains
the same as at noon He grew much weak
er at : this afternoon. but responded to
stimulauts. and has rallied somewhat; is
now resting more quietly. Temperature,
104; pulse. 116
His wife and two sons are with him.
His daughters. Mrs. Burton Smith and Mrs.
orion Bishop Brown. have been notified.
Gen. Gordon's condition is very critical.
His advanced age (seventy-two) and general
depleted strength from previous impaired
health cause his physicians to entertain
serious fears of the outcome.

When the Dairy Cows Came.

The introduction into this country of
dairy cattle is matter of quite recent
date. The Ayrshires were brought over
about 1922, which, as will be noted, was
long before most of the other dairy
breeds were heard of in this country.
They were given herd book in 1878.
1t will be seen that they have made very
little advancement in popularity, there
being comparatively few herds now to be
found in the United States. This may
not be so much an argument against the
breed as in favor of our slowness IN
appreciating a good rustler of milk Civ
ing ability. :,
The first ssfixed' breed to be imported
was the Devons, which are recorded as
having been brought to this country in
1923. 1t is, however. likely that the So
called ''Devons'' of that time were mere
| ly natives of Devonshire and lacked the
careful breeding required in all distinct
| breeds of the present day. In 1900 more
Devonshires were brought over and we
are told of yet another importation in
1917. This last is probably the date that
should be assigned to this breed as the
beginning of its career in this country.
Though there are some very good strains
of mixers in this breed, it can hardly be
said to be popular dairy breed at-thls
time.
The Jerseys have been in this country
for sixty-three years, having been i'm
ported first in 1S40. They have made a
continual advance into public favor al
most from the first, and now stand prac-
tically at the head of the distinctly dairy
breeds in this respect. They have been
helped, however, by the energy shown
| by their breeders, who as early as 1868
established herd-book, the first dairy
breed herd-book in the country.
The Holstein- Friesians were first
brought over in 1850 and have been al
| most constantly pushed into public no.
tice ever since. By 1872 they had herd
book and an association of enterprising
breeders behind them. They are being
| more widely advertised to-day than any
other of the dairy breeds and are making
steady progress into public favor.
| Guernseys came over in 1850 and were
given herd book in 1878. The Dutch
Belted cattle were first imported in 1888,
but did not have an American herd-book
till 1890. Their small numbers here and
their little prominence as breed are
largely due to the fact that their Dutch
owners in Holland would not sell them
in any considerable numbers for export.
Brown Swiss were the last to come, their
first advent being 1869. In 1880 an
American herd book was established for
them.
Some count the Shorthorn among the
dairy breeds. If they may be so regard
ed, they are then to be rated as the first,
as they were brought over in various
consignments beginning in l7S3. A
herd book was established for them in
1912. 1t must, however, be remember
ed that the breeders of Shorthorns in this
country have paid little attention te
their quality of milk producing, nor has
a dairy herd-book been established fol
lthem.-Farmers' Review.

Keep the Colts Growing.

A young animal should never remain
stationary. Youth is the season for
growth, and with proper food and con-
ditions a young animal will make growth
daily until it reaches maturity. If it
makes no growth any day or week so
much time has been lost, and the feed
it has had has not contributed to its
growth, aud consequently no recompense
has been received for it. The sooner
it reaches maturity the sooner it can be
marketed. Every days feed should
bring some return. If it does not get
enough nutritious food to make growth
it becomes stunted and Will never make
as large and fine an animal as it otherwise
would. Breeders should take such good
care of their young stock as to keep them
in a thrifty growing condition, without
DAVIS setback.-New England Farmer.

OyERNOR HAMILTON receiv-

curt dignity, but his heart was
ouaking. As soldier he was true to
the military tradition, and nothing
could have induced him to surrender
his command with dishonor.
Lieutenant Governor Hamilton, ne
wrote to Clark, "begs leave to acquaint
Colonel Clark that he and his garrison
are not disposed to be awed into any
action unworthy Of British subjects
Every brave words" said Helm when
Hamilton read the note to him, but
you'll sing q milder tune before many
minutes or you and your whole gar
rison will perish in a bloody heap
Listen to those wild yells! Clark has
enough men to eat you all up for break
fast. You'd better be reasonable and
prudent. It's not bravery to court mas
sacre."
Hamilton turned away without 6
word and sent the message, but Helm
saw that he was excited and could bt
still further wrought up.

About this time runner came from
Clark with an order to cease firing and
let returning party of British scouts
| under Captain Lamothe re-enter the
fort unharmed. \ strange order it
seemed to both officers and men. but
it was implicitly obeyed. Clark's genius
| here made another fine strategic flash
| He knew that unless he let the scouts
go back into the stOckade they would
escape by running away, and might
possibly organize an army of Indians
with which to succor Hamilton. But
if they were permitted to go inside
they could be captured with the rest
of the garrison Hence his order.
A few minutes passed in dead 81
lence. Then Captain Lamothe and his
party marched close by where Bever-
leys squad was lying concealed. 1t
was difficult task to restrain the Gre
oles. for some of them hated Lamothe.
Oncle Jazon squirmed like snake
while they filed past all unaware that
an enemy lurked so near. When they
reached the fort, ladders were put
down for them and they began to

to bring out the bead sights on the

men in Clark's band forced the British
to close the embrasures and entirely
cease trying to use their cannon, but
the fight with small arms went merrily
on until the middle Of the forenoon.

Stick to the Creameries.

The farmers cooperative creamery is
the best institution that ever came to
the dairymen of the northwest; it has
done more for them than any other
organization, because it brings the profits
to the producer-where they belong; it
has done more for the material interests
of the farmer than any other institution
in the state, and if farmers know what
is to their interest they will let well
enough alone, stand by their home cream
cries and let the central churning plants
look for patronage to those who have
not learned by experience the great bene-
