Trimming q Lamb
By ]. b. Taylor

" Illinois Legislature from the rural
districts a member who can teach the
self-confident man from the city. This
fact was brought home with much force
to a small coterie of State senators who
had a private club in which draw-poker
was the principal diversion during the
session.
The eminent statesmen who frequented
the room in the hotel that was used as
club headquarters had been winning
money back and forth among themselves,
and began to long for the appearance of
some lamb" whose fleece they might
trim. A rather seedy-looking member
was invited to join in the game to enliven
the dizziness.
Come up and let us have a social
evening together said one elderly men,
Der of the higher branch of the Legs
lature.
mo, I don't think 1 care for game
tonight" was the reply. Il don't know
much bout p1ayin' poker, and l reckon
I'd better stay away"
well, your lack of knowledge of the
game need not worry you, for we
play for small stakes was answered
back
The seedy-1ooking member fumbled in
his pockets and clasped the roll of bills
he had drawn from the State treasury
that day. He had been paid three hum
dred dollars as part of his salary as a
lawmaker He consented to join in the
game But once the play began, how
ever, he seemed to grow more and more
timid
Give me two cards." was his first
remark when a hand had been dealt to
him He bet mildly and with apparent
great care. He lost few dollars.
"I11 stand pat" he said on the next
deal Again he lost. but bet more
freely.
"One card" he said the next hand,
and appeared as if he wished he was out
of the game Somebody bet fifty dollars.
The rural legislator frightened up and
raised the bet fifty.
The game grew lively, and at its close
three men had put in their last dollar
and asked for a show of hands. The
Lamb" had four kings, and his pockets
bulged with money.
Three digniied senators called at
the State treasury early the following
! day.
Say, Bill" said one senator to a
janitor who hailed from the same dis
trict as the extra player, what does
Brown do for living when he is at
home?
Nobody down there ever knew him
/ to do anything but play poker. He
makes more money at that than most of

NO, I didn't I ulster fight; but

The Easter sun shone yellow on Pidgy's
pale head, giving him his old cherubic
aspect, as the boys formed in pro-
cession on Sunday morning. Just before
they left the choir-room, Mr.. Shaw
fingered the edge of his book and said
hastily: Who took my marker?"
Nobody, apparently.

Fifty Years Welded.

On Wednesday Mr.. and Mrs. Fer.
dinand Borgmann celebrated their
golden wedding by services in st.
Paul's church.
They were married in Gutenberg,
Iowa, in 1855. The following year
they emigrated to Minnesota and
settled in Lake George, Stearns Co.,
moving to Sank Centre, and settling
on farm one and one-fourth miles
south Of town, in 1866. They retired
from the farm and moved into the
city nine years ago.
Twelve children were born of this
union, most of whom we're born in
Sank Centre, and all reside in this
vicinity and were present at the church
except Mrs. Peter Ehr who resides at
Minot, N. D. Mrs. Frank Minnette,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Borgmann,
was the first white child born in Sank
Centre.
Notwithstanding their years, Mr.,
Bergman being 81 and his wife u,
they are hale and hearty, enjoy life,
and bid fair to live to celebrate many
more anniversaries.

EpItos GAZETTE:
a letter was recently received
by the a. y NJ. College relative
TO the difference in quality and
cost OF producing milk in the
Southern as compared with the
Northern States. After very
careful investigation and COM
parison OF the work OF a number
ot experiment stations aud the
records OF private herds, il has
been noted that the milk in the
South il very much richer in fat,
on account OF the greater pro-
POI ton OF Jersey aud grade Jer.

II costs from , cents 70 ! cents

pounds less 10 produce milk aud
about - per year less 10 keep a

This difference in cost IN favor
OF the South ~ no doub, owing TO
the longer pasture season and
greater economy IN growing
suitable feeds. To this might
be added the difference III cost
OF building IN the South. where
frost-pro"i barns are not re-
quired, and the much higher
price received for dairy pro-

will always be fixed by the law
of supply and demand and the
quality OF the goods; and il the
supply ever increases sufficient
ly to lower the price to the level
OF the Northern markets, the
Southern farmer will always
have the advantage OF the
lower cost OF production and of
having less money invested.
Exhaustive experiments have
recently proved that the feeds
best suited for the economical
production Of milk are corn
silage, alfalfa hay and cottonsced
meal-all products OF the South,
where they can be grown much
cheaper than IN any other part
of the country.
While il cannot be disputed
that the South is the most profit
able section for dairying on the
continent, there are many diff
ficulties TO contend with in pro.
noting the development OF the
industry. There is lack o.
men interested and skilled in
dairy work, and Intelligent, relia.
bic help on the farm is Difficult,
TO secure. Choice dairy cattle
are no, numerous, although fair
ly good cows can be purchased
at very reasonable prices. The
facilities for Transporting dairy
products during the hot weather
are at present very poor.
As the advantages and profits
OF dairying are more fully illus.
trated, numbers OF farmers and
capitalists will be induced to in.
vest in the business. During
the last few months, the College
has received constant inquiries

To meet this demand the Dairy
Department has been fully

the production. care and testing
of milk, Judging, selecting,

if properly fed, will easily yield
from $50 to Sh0 per year net
profit over cost Of ieed, and there
is probably no other section Of
this country where good dairy
stock is in greater demand or
will sell for higher prices; so
that, aside from the revenue re-
ceived from the sale Of milk and
it's products, the raising of dairy
stock alone can be made very
profitable.
AS the amount of dairy pro-
duce manufactured in the South
increases, the question of trans

will be solved by the railways

carry it to market, to prevent
deterioration of quality in
