Quantity and Butter Fat.

With reference to quantity it would be
correct to say that among the strictly dairy
breeds Holsteins rank first, Ayrshires sec
ond, Guernseys third and Jerseys fourth
If there is difference in the quantity of
the production from Guernseys it is caused
by the large relative size of the Guernseys
With reference to butter fat in the milk
Jerseys stand 6rst-that is to say if there
is any difference in the richness of Jersey
and Guernsey milk-Ayrshires come third
and Holsteins fourth The same differ
ences obtain between the high grades of
the breeds of all these, but not quite to
the same extent.

Democratic nomination for the office of
States Attorney of Carroll county AT the next
general election.
| am making an appeal directly TO the vot-
ers of my native county, that they may see to
it that the rule of rotation in said office, es.
tabished by recent Democratic conventions,
may be maintained, and that future uomina-
tons for said office may not be put upon the
bargain counter or auction block.
/ respectfully submit that if the Democracy
of Carroll county believe that eighteen years
of active practice Of the law, that twenty years
of faithful service in the'ranks of my party,
and that fl years spent with my fellow citi-
zens. entite me to their favorable cousidera-
ton, then ! shall expect my friends 10 see

Fattening Fowls.

In fattening fowls for market much is
gained through confning them in small
yards, with a house to live in. If con-
fined in this way for two weeks, fed heav-
lily on rich fattening food and furnished
plenty of water and grit, they will gain
surprising in weight and condition of flesh .
All this is to the advantage of the seller,
as the plumper and more attractive the
carcasses the higher price they viii bring
in the market.

Spraying Potatoes For Late Blight.

The late blight and rot fungus of pota-
toes may be expected to prove destructive
during the hate summer of 1906. This
disease prevailed in both both 1904 and
1908, being very destructive last year,
when it appeared July 20 to %. The
maximum danger Is reached during Au-
gust Al except very early potatoes are
liable to attack.
The late blight and rot of potatoes may
be- prevented by spraying frequently with
Bordeaux mixture, made of pounds of
blue yitriol and 1 to ) pounds of lime 30
gallons Of water, beginning the treatment.
The Democratic advocate., 1906-08-03

The people who win their way into the
inmost recesses of Others hearts are not
usually the most brilliant and gifted, but
those who have sympathy, patience, self
forgetfulness and that inde6nable faculty
of eliciting the better nature of others.

Feeding Green Bone.

Some years ago Inland Poultry in re-
ierring to green bone as a poultry food
said that its great value lies in its well pro
portioned and numerous constituents, which
are just what is needed by the hen to
produce eggs. In it we have lime for the
shell, mineral matter for the yolk and al
bumen for the white. There is only one
objection to green bone, which is that it is
somewhat concentrated If fed entirely
on it the hens will eat too much; hence it
becomes necessary to feed it in connection
with such bulky food as clover or bran.

Mash composed of 100 pounds corn

A Bold Step.

To overcome the well-grounded and
reasonable objections Of the more intel
ligen: to the use OF secret, medicinal COM
pounds, DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, n.
Y, some time ago, decided to make bold
departure from the usual course pursued
by the makers Of put-up medicines for do
mestic use, and so has published broad
cast and openly to the whole world, q full
and complete list OF all the ingredients
entering inSethe composition OF his widely
celebrated Gediches. Thus he has taken
his numere6s patrons and patients into
his full k6nfl&ence. Thus too he has re-
moved /hisA sAhedicines from among secret
nostrHpSof doubtful merits, and made
themLRemedics of Knoi0n Composition.
BY this bold stem ID. Pierce has shown

the fullest SCRUTINY.

and requesting the same. From this little
book 1t will be learned that DIR. Pierce's med
icines contain no alcohol. narcotics, mineral
agents or other poisonous or injurious agents
and that they are made from native. medici-
nal roots OF great value; also that some of
the most valuable ingredients contained in

"Squaw-Weed." Our knowledge of the uses
Of not a few Of our most valuable native. me-

EdisOn's Future City.

Considerable discussion has been arous-
ed by a signed prophecy of Thomas A..
Edison, detailing what our large cities
will be like 100 years hence. He says
they will be free from smoke and steam,
and that the chimney will be a thing of
the past, while the waste OF coal and 9TH
er fuel will be stopped through the use
of electricity, generated direct from the
fuel without the aid of engine, boiler or
dynamo. In factories each machine will
have it's individual motor. Houses will
be heated electrically, and most of the
cities noises will cease. Skyscrapers will
be universal in the business section, and
the streets will be bridged over at diff
ferent heights to facilitate transit from
one side to the other. He estimates that
buildings will then average thirty stories
in height, and the greater number will
be constructed of concrete and steel. Such
buildings, ne says, will stand a thousand
years or longer. His new battery will
make electricity portable for street ve-
hicles or airships.

BUILD NESTS IN THE FALL.

Birds Sometimes MfsIed by an Un-
seasonable Warmth OF the Days.
We are apt to think that birds build
only in spring or in summer, because
th-t Is their natural" season and be.
cause their ancestors did SO. But have
you never thought that perhaps the
heat or the mildness of the weather
may have direct influence and may
actually invite them to build? Here is
a little incident which l saw last year
and which seems to point in that di.
rection.
Sept. "a was springlike in tempera.
ture fine rain was falling and l was
afield, watching a host Of small mi
grants, chiefly myrtle warblers and
sparrows, but especially interested In
the movements Of some young gold.
finches that were learning to feed on
thistles. About a cavity in an old ap'
pie tree were four bluebirds lowering
and warbling. Looking more closely,
I noticed that each pair seemed try
ing to get possession of the hollow as
have seen them fighting for nesting
place In spring. To my establishment
one male had a straw in his bill. He
went into the hollow, tarried for q
while and returned without the straw.
Then the female went in and stayed
for several minutes. The birds were
SO much interested that went to with
In a few yards OF them before they
left. In the hollow was the founda-
ton Of q nest.
A bird called the pine siskin, which
I caught one day and which roamed
about the house, found an old vireo's )
nest and at once took possession, pull
ing and picking curiously at the loose
fibers as II to arrange them to a sis
kin's taste. I have also seen a pair of
waxwings gather nesting material
when it seemed too late in the season
even for them. Perhaps further study
u the birds in the fine autumn wealth
er will show that they are often led
to build useless nests. 1t would be in
teresting to rnOw how far they may
sometimes carry those unt.mely efforts.

No ExtenuatinE Circumstances.

The two boys had pleaded guilty to the
charge Of entering a mans garden in the
dead of night and stealing his peaches and
grapes.
Under ordinary conditions, my lads"
said the justice, Il might overlook the
offense. If you had helped yourselves to
a small portion of the fruit, and been
satisfied with that, l should have con-
sidered it merely a slight misdemeanor
and let you off with lecture. But you
stole nearly his entire crop. This man,
moreover, is a life insurance agent, and
it is about all he can do to make living
these days. / shall send you to the re-

seven Causes for Divorce.

The national divorce congress, which
began its sessions Mt Philadelphia the
other day with the object Of initiating a
uniform national divorce law. had mem
bership of 40 delegates from nearly ev-
cry State. Seven causes Of divorce to
be Incorporated in the law were agreed
upon-adultery. bigamy, conviction and
sentence for crime followed by con-
tinuous Imprisonment for ut least two
years, extreme cruelty such as to endan-
ger life or health, habitual drunkenness
for two years and willful dcsertion for
the same length of time. On .ae question
of age there was much discussion. Sew
eral men advocated the ages o. 21 and IS,
respectively, for men and women, but
this was opposed By two women dele
gates, who thought the age of matrimonial
consent should be fixed at 1S and 16
