There is more CatarIh in this Sc ction
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years were supposed to be iucurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nonnced it local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it ipcurable. Science has proven
cataIrh to be a constitutional disease
and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manu-

The Sights of Great city
NEW YORK, June 30.

EDITOR GAzETTE:-Continuing my
reflections from last week on the sights
Of New York, l will say;
The Metropolitan museum OF Fine
Arts. In Central Park, is perhaps the
finest IN the world. Everything that
conld be collected from the Pharoahs
to the present time has place in TINS
wonderful collection. See that Etruscan
Chariot, 9th century B. c., discovered
in tomb In Umbrice, with a collection
Of other things found with it. is
fairly we'll preserved, Then on every
side rooms filed with every variety Oh
work in ant and sculpture, ancient and
modern.
II Won even have but one day OIL, by
all means, take IN this museum. Then
take stage on 9th avenue and get
seat on top with the driver and he will
polnt out all the residences OF the
many millionaires. Senator Clark is
building a half million mansion on
this avenue. From Central Park 20
bv 5th avenue car or stage to Flet Iron
building, thence by subway or elevated
car to Nassau street, take look at ot'
Paul's chapel, erected l7G6, then look
skyvald you will observe immense
structures OF iron, stone and mortar
from say 10 to SO stories.
While sightseeing l found my old
friends Lee and Henry Sellers in this
neighborhood, IS stories from ground
floor. John Wise, attorney, occupied a
room near them. Hundred OF Virginians
are in business in New York and L am
informed have held their places. One
man, a TennesseeaD, who was In the
treasury Office in the wind up of the
Confederacy, brought it is said con-
siderable amount OF Confederate
specie to New York and invested the
same for his individual use and benefit.
He is worth millions today, so report
ed.
If not pushed for time take elevated
railway at Brooklyn bridge and take a
rul. to Coney Island where you may
see "Creation Of the World, 4" "HeIl
Gate" and Galveston Flood" AMI
other things. These in brief are some
of the many objects which have Inn
pressed your fellow citizen from Rock
bridge. a. a.

GOOD ROADS FOR AMHERST

Amherst county on August 18th
will vote on a proposition Of issu-
ing bonds to the amount of $780,
600 to be used In connection with
State aid to macadamize two Of
the principal roads Of that county
leading to Lynchburg. The elect
ion has been called by Judge Cor
don in accordance with a petition
from the Board of Supervisors.
This step is distinctly forward
movement for better roads, and
the people Ct the Gree State of
Amherst" will be watched with
interest by other sections OF the
State to see what will be the out
come.
The issuing of bonds to build
roads seems to be the only practi-
cable plan whereby the present
generation can ever hope to secure
better roads. The annual cost OF
keeling in repair the dirt roads of
Rockbridge would go long way
in paying interest en- money to
build good Osds.

Churchman Railroad Law Will
BE Tested

The refusal of the railroad com
panies to comply with the Church
man act which went into effect on
the 18th instant, has been subject
of much interest and comment
throughout the State, says Satur-
days Richmond Times-Dispatch.
The railroads claim that the act
is invalid because it violates the
State Constitution which makes
the State Corporation Commission
the department of the government
which alone can fix rates, and be-
cause, they claim, it violates the
fourteenth amendment of the
United States Constitution, and
they say this has been settled by
the Supreme Court of the United
States in a Michigan case, in which
that court decided that State lew
requiring railroads to sell 1000
mile mileage books was void.
The Governor and the Attorney
General have had some conferences
and correspondence on the subject,
and are anxious that whatever can
be dOne shall be done to compel
com pliance with the law, or else to
have the question of it's validity
settled 80 it may know where the
State stands.
Attorney General Anderson after
carefully considering the matter
will just as soon as the papers can
be prepared, file petition before
the Corporation Commission, calling
the attention of that tribunal to
the refusal of some railroad COM
panies to comply with the law, land
calling upon the commission, in the
exercises of the powers conferred
upon it by law, to compel the
delinquent Companies to comply
with the law and issue the 500 mile
mileage tickets.
The commission is empowered tt
enforce any requirement of any
valid law by imposing heavy fines
upon the railroad companies In
default.
This case will be brought to a
hearing and a final decision just as
soon as possible. 1t is hoped a
final adjudication can be gotten
from the Supreme Court of Appeals
during it's session in September in
Stanton.
Itis understood that the railroad
companies interested have engaged
the services of William B. Nc
Twain, Esq, of the Petersburg
bar, to represent them in the bove
case, and it will be carried to the
courts of last resort as speedily as
possible.

Simple Method to Estimate the
Value of a Cow

The following method OF estimating
the milk and butter value Of COWS is
furnished by the Virginia Experiment
Station at Blacksburg:
In undertaking to place an estimate
on the value OF a COW the exact amount
Of milk and butter fat produced should
be determined.
Most people when estimating the
value of COW will be largely influenced
by the statements made by the owner,
Of the number OF gallons OF milk she
will produce. This information is
usually very misleading as most persons
do not take into consideration the foam
in milk, and again, the party wishing to
sell COW will sometimes exaggerste
as to her production, as we'll.
The milk from a COW as usually
measured should not be given any con-
alteration, but to know the exact
amount of milk a COW gives 1t should
be weighed with an accurate scale;foam
adds nothing to the weight OF milk.
When the milk from COW is weighed
morning and evening then her daily
production can be estimated, but 1t Is
better to know the weight Of milk pro-
duced for O number Of consecutive milk
ings and to take an average of these for
determining her daily production.
After determining the amount OF milk
produced per day in pounds and ounces,
then one should know the average
butter fat contained therein; this can
be determined by taking sample from
each milking and from about five con-
secutive mi!kings, putting these samples
together and determining the per cent
of butter fat in this composite sample;
this will be an average per cent OF fat
Tor the time during which the samples
were taken. From the average daily
production of milk and the average
per cent of fat the average amount OF fat
produced daily can be ascertained. As
six pounds OF butter fat thus determined
will make about seven pounds of butter
the value OF the milk for butter making
purposes can be determined. AS butter
fat Is the foundation Of cream, the
value OF the milk put into cream can be
estimated. While this method does
not give any idea OF the amount of milk
and butter fat COW will produce dur
ing her milking period, it does show
low much she is producing In butter
or cream for the time being.
No dairyman should be without this
record Of each one Of his COWS at any
time. 1t will enable him to know
when COW is not producing an amount
which justlfes her keep and she can
then be replaced with a better COW.
Where records are kept as has been
suggested at the end of the milking
period the amount OF milk and the
amount Of butter fat from each COW can
be estimated and her value for that
period pretty closely determined.
