tempt to compete with the Old World.
In order to learn the bottom facts
about making any of the famous spe-
cialties in cheese, it is necessary to go
to the locality where they originate
Making Dairy Work Popular.
Americans find novelty in Europe in
the fairs" and markets" where prod
ucts of the dairy are sold to the highest
bidder. In Normandy the wives and
daughters of farmers and peasants as
semble by the hundred in the parks or
along the streets, selling their
'"mottes" of butter. The cheese fairs
of Frome, England, and Kilmarnock,
Scotland, and the street markets of
Alkmaar, Hoorn, and Utrecht, Holland,
also present lively and interesting
spectacles in connection with the sale
Of dairy products.
Major Alvord's observations show
that while too much can not be said
of the industry, frugality and thrift of
Europe's dairymen, a close comparison
leads one to feel that the conditions of
the industry in the United States are
decidedly more satisfactory in almost
every particular.

for the purpose Of looking into the
dairy industry Of the continent.
Major Alvord stated first, upon his
return home, that while the United
States has never evolved a strictly
dairy cow Of its own, it has now moth
ing to gain through the importation
of new blood from Great Britain, the
Channel Islands, the Netherlands, Den
mark or France. There are many pic
turesque and useful breeds of mich
cattle in these countries but they do
not compare, he stated, with the adapt
ed American breeds. For instance,

stereotyped answer:-"My father did
So"
The American farmer, Major Alvord
thought, has undoubtedly much more
intelligent knowledge of the principles
of feeding, but there is probably more
carelessness and waste in feeding ami
mails Of all kinds in America than any
where else in the world.
The most astonishing feature Of Eu-
rope in the care Of milk on the farm is
the entire absence of refrigeration in
France, and the general ignoring of
the value of cold in dairying. In the
matter Of dairy appliances and equip
ment, the United States is surpassed
by no other country, although Den
mark and parts of Great Britain stand
about as well.
In most big cities of Europe there
are few well-conducted milk delivery
establishments, such as are usually
found in our smallest cities, while in
some localities dairy animals are
driven through the streets and MIXED
at customers doors. Mich cows are
managed in the same way even in the
best streets of Paris and of Rome
Paris probably has the poorest milk
service of any of the large cities. Dur
ing the Exposition at Paris in July
1900, special show of perishable dairy
products was held as an annex to that
exposition,
Paris Milk Exhibit Very Poor.
While the French producers had
every opportunity of exhibiting theil
goods in the best possible shape, the
only samples of natural milk ant
cream absolutely free from chemical
preservatives and uncooked, which
were sweet and palatable after noon
of the exhibition day, were from the
diaries in New York and New Jersey
then eighteen days from the COW! The
American products had been preserved
solely by cleanliness and cold. Major
Alvord made the statement on his re
turn from Europe that no milk-supply
company in Europe could duplicate this
performance

conditions do exist abroad-where the
COW is taken in as member of the
family-as they do in no place in the
United States, but they are the excep-
ton. Stables which in summer are
converted into Conservatives and
rooms for weaving and cheese curing
are the unusual and show places. The
construction of COW stables generally in
the dairy countries of the Old World
is of substantial nature, with little
regard paid to light and ventilation,

Winners.

Brittany, in the north Of France, has
within its borders pretty, active little
black-and-whi cattle with marked
dairy characteristics, producing often
an astounding quantity of milk for
their size, but they are believed to be
useful in the United States only as
playthings.
Americ an Cow Stables Up to Average
In the stabling and general care of
dairy cows no foreign country shows,
in general practice, any methods or
conditions better than our own. While
the average conditions throughout the
country are undoubtedly far from
what they should be, the United States

in cleaning. While much attention is
paid to cleaning cow stables, it is ap-
parently more from an appreciation OF
the value of the manure than from an
effort to have sanitary conditions in
the dairy.

There is one thing where Europeans
may be ahead of Americans. They
seem to be better versed in the feeding
of cattle. Even the poorest peasants
do not hesitate to purchase concentra-

appears that the only reason the ma
tives can give for this practice is the

Development of Natural Gas Wells Near Shreveport, La.--Pipe LiRe Will be Built to the
 City.

Baltimore. Nov. 17.--( Special. )--IIlus- trative of the many potentialities of the South still to be realized. is the news in this weeks issue of the Manu- facturers' Record of the development of natural gas wells near Shreveport, La. Correspondence from that city says:
 within less than twenty-five miles from the limits of this city there are under control five natural gas wells. each producing from 6,000.0 900 to i5.000,- 900 cubic feet of gas every tweuty-four hours. About year ago non-residents of this city began drilling an oil-well Their work had progressed very shortly when favorable traces were discovered and many people were of the opinion that this parish would soon see a gigantic oil-field. However. as the work was continued. gas pressure was developed and the attention of the peo- pie was turned to gas.
 ''The attention of many men of means was attracted to the neighborhood of the field and ip O short time more than q dozen derricks were up. An excellent gas well was brought in several months ago and 1t was soon complete ly controlled with the proper valve. Four other wells have since been brought in, the fifth being two mtjes from the nearest of the others. which goes to show that the deposit is not confined to a small area. A franchise has recently been granted by which the maximum charge for Illuminating gas will be fifty cents per thousand feet, and 1t is expected that the gas may be furnished. to residences for 3S

cents per thousand cubic feet and to manufacturers for. 10 or IS cents, per thousand cubic feet.
 Pipe has been purchased for the construction of a pipe line from the wells to Shreveport. and the work of building the line will be started as soon as the material arrives, and it Is ex- pected heLS early next week. Expert pipeline men have been secured for the work and they are now on the ground. It is hoped to have the line open by January i. 1906 Texarkana. Jeffer- son and Marshall. Texas, are almost as close to the field as is Shreveport and it is believed that negotiations will shortly begin for carrying pipe lines to those places The strongest we'll produces 8 supply of gas esti- mated at 16.oo0.ooo cubic feet every twenty-four hours. enough to supply entire city of Shreveport for one year. according to the rate of consumption in force heretofore. Recently a well being drilled on land located at least seven miles from the field proper show ed strong gas pressure, which strengthens the belief that the field is one of large area"
 The movement some time ago of great western packing houses into Texas has obscured to some extent the fact of possibilities in that industry in other part of the South. now that artificial ice-making and refrigeration has had such great advance in that section.

Montgomery Negro Convicted of Kili- ing Ills Wife.


 George Williams, negro, was last night convicted of murder in the second degree by a jury in the criminal di- vision of the City Court.
 The jury required about thirty min utes to reach verdict which sem fenced the negro to fifteen years inn prisonment in the penitentiary. The jury retired at 6:30 o'clock and at z o'clock there was a knock on the door when 1t was announced that a verdict had been reached Williams appeared satisfied when the sentence of the twelve jurors was read ~~ The negro was charged with the murder of his wife. Hattie Williams, whose killing occurred last August on a plantation in the southern part of Montgomery County. The woman was cut with a knife and bled to death. There was no eyewitness and Will Hams claimed that his wife was acci- dentally killed.

FlFTEEN-CENT :. COTTON
MORE ALABAMA BALES TIED UP
 IN MOVEMENT.
Speakers for Southern Association Are to Begin n Campaign in the state Again to Inspire
 Holders.

President w. II. Seymour of the Ala bama division of the Southern Cotton Association. yesterday morning made a flying trip to Prattville in the inter- est of the 15-cent cotton propaganda decreed by President Haryie Jordan three days ago and returned last night to Montgomery to announce that he and the friends of the Association had succeeded in tieing up 1000 bales of cott1h in that town.
 Furthermore, Mir. Seymour, assisted by B. D. Armstrong of Montgomery: succeeded in collecting $50 from the members of the Association in Au- tauga County on account of the as- sessment of cents per bale for the current year.
 According to adyiees which have reached the office of President Sey- mour in this city. an unusual amount of enthusiasm has been aroused in Ala bama over the steadfastness of the Cotton Association all over the South. and give strong promises of rallying to the call of President Jordan for 15- cent cotton. This interest is evi- deneed by the numerous requests that Mir. Seymour has received from diff ferent parts of the State to come to those sections to speak. So many such requests are on file that the Ala bama President has found it an i'm possibility to make out a schedule which will engage him alone, but he has decided to enlist probably as many as half a dozen speakers to divide the State between them for renewal campaign at the. instance of the new propaganda of the Southern Cotton As sociation.
 MT. Seymour said last night that he had received in the last day or two voluntary letters from growers in the State offering to pledge thousands of bales on the 15-cent proposition. He will begin to list the pledges and from time to time the total amount of the pledges will be made known.
 Montgomery County will be thor ouEhly canvassed along this line right away.
