Testing the Cows

To determine exactly what a cow
produces in g year every milking must
be weighed and sampled, but if the
herd is given a one week test every
three months it will be sufficient to
WELD valuable results. All the appara-
kus necessary for this purpose is a
spring balance, as many common glass
fruit jars as there are cows in the herd
and a four ounce bottle Babcock milk

Sitting the Butter.

Let the butter drain reasonably well,
say for fifteen to twenty minutes, be-
fore sailing. Use only pure salt and
salt butter intended for the British
market very lightly. Not more than 3
per cent, or about half an ounce Of salt
to the pound Of butter, should be used.
It is an excellent plan to salt in the
churn, and after mixing the salt into
the butter allow it sufficient time to
dissolve before working. The one

Crime in This County,

The Macon Telegraph discusses the fourteen murders that occurred in lief. ferson county in forty days, attribut- ing to the homicidal epidemic the lack of immigration that is so painfully felt in this district. The back districts in Italy and Hungary scarcely know any lnlng about our forty-day record, and the Telegraph has no doubt overdrawn the situation. It is fair to say, how. ever, that a prolongation of that rec ord would soon be damaging to Us even in the back districts where peas ants meet and are induced by the steamship agents to start from their beloved but humble homes, for the land across a wide and stormy sea. It is best, therefore, to see if that record cannot be cut short. The Telegraph says in this connection
 "A remedy for this appalling condition might lie in fourteen quick hangings, but capital punishment is no more frequent in Alabama than in other states. But there will have to be a reform effected somehow. No community can endure such an unchecked drenching of blood. There must be a fault somewhere and possibly in the neglect of those charged with the police authority. It was condition somewhat like this which caused the wig iantes to rise in San Francisco once upon time and bring order out of chaos. But we are quite sure that the good people of Birmingham are quite strong enough to bring about a change through due pro cess of law executed by brave and honest officers of the law. They cannot tolerate the stigma that now rests upon their community"
 This is about the size of it. Four teen homicides in forty days certainly is enough to constitute a stigma, and the lack of fourteen quick hangngs' does, of course, accentuate that stigma It is always best to look the situation straight in the face.

John Burns in the Cabinet.

When John Burns went up to re- ceive the seal of office as member of the cabinet and the head of the local government board he wore his accus- toned reefer and cap, and he will con tinue to wear them. He Is widely known as Honest John Burns and he is the first labor member to hold a place in a British cabinet.
 His career has been remarkable He is a machinist by trade, man without wealth. He is AZ years old, and he first came into prominence by serving six months in jail for his con nection with riots in 1887. Soon after wards he was elected to parliament and to the London county council, and he has held seats in the two bodies ever since.
 He Is a good deal of reformer and
 
 radical. favoring as he does the mu- nicipalization of public utilities, but he does not favor the formation of an independent labor party, preferring to work for reforms by and through ex- isting parties. He urges the election of working men to office, especially to parliament, where he hopes after the next election to lead considerable group. He would work no doubt, with the liberals for possible relief to wage earners. The burly member is con sidered not only honest, but he Is also considered a man of executive ability, and he may yet achieve high place in British politics. The extremists In the labor ranks dislike him, but he has shown his capacity for good work, and his enemies cannot vote him out of parliament

Riuoins' Fate Undetermined. !.

When Hotel Keeper Higgins of Huntsville was indicted by a federal grand jury for conspiracy he sued out writ of habeas corpus on the ground that the federal court had no jurisdic- tion. Judge Jones denied Higgins pe- tition, and the case was carried to the United States supreme court. That court simply decides that Higgins was acting in an irregular manner when he sued out writ of habeas corpus, and he was remanded to the district court. where his case will be docketed 10 come up in it's order.
 It will thus be seen that the chief contention goes untouched. That con tention is that the fourteenth amend ment covers a case in which negro is lynched because of race prejudice, because 1t says that no state shall deny any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. i.orace Naples, a negro, was lynched in Huntsville, and Higgins is charged with being a participant in that lynch ing. That lynching occurred in Sep tember.
 Heretofore the supreme court has held that the provision in question in the fourteenth amendment applied to state acts, not to individual acts, but in the Higgins case the court evaded R decision of the chief point of the con. troyersy, and the only way in which that >point can be heard and decided lies in a trial of Higgins, and an ap- peal from possible conviction in the district court.

Chanqe in the Air.

"The people of the country, said John Sharp Williams recently, "are tired of the republican party and afraid of the democratic party" This theorg may be correct and even comprehen- sive. and it may account for the de- sire among large masses of voters especially in our cities, to seek new alignments and new issues. Except in the back districts party lines and par ty discipline have lost the power they once possessed and the independent voter is found on every hand in the contested states.
 In the contested states there is no color cloud in the political sky-noth- ing to keep voters from following their inclinations and convictions, and some of those inclinations and convictions have Russian tinge to say the least. Jt SItdl NOlt NdSl lOl OohuidotC Hearst in New York, who was scarce ly the nominee of recognized party, was significant, and it is plain evidence of coming changes, unless indeed the two old parties are brought again in touch with public sentiment.
 The republican party cannot be ma terially changed. It is plutocratic, strictly so in the manner of it's con trol. It has been for forty years the party of Privilege of all sorts-the Wall street party-the party that trusts and monopolies of all sorts turn to for perpetuation of their privileges to exploit eighty millions of people. They pay for all this in presidential years, and thus it comes about that they own the republican party.
 But the democratic party, which once stood for equal political rights, the born foe of Privilege, is not mortgaged to the monopolies, and 1t should speedily be brought into line with public sentiment. This Is task that John Sharp Williams will shoulder without hesitation, and so will every other democrat.
 The truth is, the masses are not afraid of the democratic party. It IS the timiu business man who is afraid of the effects of change in policies, and he has no reasonable grounds for his timidity. The problem is com plex one, but 1t must be met fully and ; satisfactorily If great changes in is- sues and alignments are to be avoided In the next three years.

PEN PICTURE OF RYAN
 ON THE WITNESS STAND

priest of industrial insurance that lure for the pennies of the poor.
 The Senator is tall and thin. He has white hair and short white beard which is inclined to fork. His eyes are gray and sharp and the upper lids have q tend- ency to droop at the outer corners
 His nose is straight, long, pointed and sharp nostrilled. His lips are thin. His ears are long, narrow and pointed, almost stayr ears. His teeth are small His skin and hair are fine.
 Senator Drydens whole makeup and manner indicates an extremely fine ner- vous development and mental alertness. Yet his face has a faint suggestion of the jackal; the head is the heard of born gambler.
 The skull drops down where the facul- ties of conscience and firmness are sup posed to be, but on the crown of the head the faculty of sublimity swells out and, as in the Senator's case, when supersti- ton is unorganized it develops into the gamblers instinct to act on signs and wonders.

SOLILOQUY OF RICHARD III.

By W lillian Shakespeare. Now is the winter of our discomfort Made glorious summer by this of
 York; And all the clouds that 1ower'd upon our
 house. In the deep bosom of the ocean buried Now are our brows bound with victorious
 wreaths Our bruised arms hung up for monu-
 ments; Our stern alarums changed to merry
 meetings; Our dreadful marches to delightful meas
 ures. Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his
 wrinkled front; And now. instead of mounting barbed
 steeds To fright the souls of fearful adversaries, He capers nimbly in lady's chamber, To the lascivious blessings of a lute. But I-that am not shapd for sportive
 tricks, Nor made to court an amorous looking
 glass. I. that am rudely stampd, and want

Rural Free Delivery.

At the end of the year ended June 80 Alabama had 525 rural free delivery routes in operation, while Tennessee had 1876 Why is there so much diff ference in this respect between two adjoining sister states?
 Tennessee had in the census year 10 per cent more population, and In the present year she has nearly three times as many rural free delivery routes. The discrepancy is beyond ex- planation.
 Georgia had at the end of the fiscal year 1181 rural free delivery routes, and here again Alabama's backward, ness becomes apparent. What is the matter of Alabama?
 At the end of the fiscal year 291 ap- plIcations from this state were pend. Ing, and there is hope that our farm CTS will yet be as well served as those of Tennessee or Georgia. It should be borne in mind that the blame does not rest upon the shoulders of Ala bama congressman, for they can do nothing until petitions are presented signed by the people along twenty four mile route. It is the people who should wake up. Alabama needs over one thousand rural free delivery routes in order to bring her up in pos tai service to Tennessee on the north pr Georgia on the east.
 Washington county. Pennsylvania, has eighty-two rural free delivery routes, and if Alabama were equally we'll supplied there would be over five thousand routes in operation in this state. Instead, there are 525. Mir. Underwood began the good work when

 Men eat as much candy as women do, say confectioners, who ought to know their best customers. As for ice cream, the wives of certain prominent men are authority for statements about the fond ness of those men for that frigid delicacy Vice President Fairbanks would not relish his dinner if he knew he would not have ice cream at the end. He can eat ice cream several time day and he is actual ly grumpy if he does not get the frozen dainty to top off the last meal of the day. He Is particularly fond of a sort of fruit salad made of cherries, chopped grapes. oranges and bananas The whole is covered with old Maoeira, then is frozen and served with whipped cream.
