Southern Nevada has another
gold excitement. Fifty miles
northeast of Tonopah gold has
been discovered and rock assay
ing $3.50, 900 to the ton has been
brought to Goldfeld. Already
forty lesses are shipping ore
from the new location, and thou
sands of people are rushing
thither. We hope some of our
people who left for Goldfeld last
year will be among the lucky
ones at this new location.

Judging Dairy Cattle

As interest in dairyiug continues to increase in the South
more attention VIII be given to selecting typical dairy animals.
What - generally considered the ideal type of dairy cattle has
been arrived at by the experience OF many generations of dairy.
men. They have not been mere theorists. but men who have
tested their cows by measuring their milk and testing it for quail
ny. Inc opinions Of such men are the best guides.
They have decided on what features OF a COW shall be con.
sIdered IN arriving at her score card value. and how much each of
these features shall count in making a score of 100 po,nts for an
ideas COW. As might be expected in a dairy animal. the udder
counts - points. more than one.6f,h o. the entire 100. The next
most valued feature is the barrel. which is given 10 points. The
chest Is next with a score OF eight. so that these three features
make a total score OF 40 points. two-ffths Of the 100. 1t seems
reasonable that the milk organs taken together are given a score
of Il points, almost one. third OF the entire 100.
Studying COWS with a score card ~ good practice. Below is

argument In its behalf. / mean the
relief It affords the bereft from the
duty OF keeping the grass and weeds
of the grave and fresh flowers upon 1t.
A very charming widow OF 80, the
magic age OF weeds. had her husband
cremated and put his ashes in a sill
yer vase. This vase was made to or
der in two separate parts, the bot
tom for the ashes. and the top for cut
flowers. She kept 1t in the center Of
the diningroom table. always filled
with roses. and used to say to
admiring friends that she in all prob
ability was the only widow in New
York who decorated her husbands
last resting place with fresh flowers
every day. Only few intimates were
let into the secret that she loved flow-
ers and killed two birds with one
stone by keeping them in bloom above
poor Georges ashes.-N. Y. Press.

Thus as the day drew near Its end.

The country was still excited. Once

Colonel John looked deeply troubled
but he was not the man to avoid
threatening evil. Such a spirit could
never have won the victories that had
crowned his career.
He met his subordinate officers and
gave them the stirring news of the
day.
Then Squire Granger Joined them.
His demeanor was grave, but the
planter was gentleman above even
his hatred for any one wearing the
blue.
At the table Mollie appeared to per-
form her duty. Her manner was cold.
John was unusually grave during the
meal. When he caught Mollie's eyes
she turned her head away and
!rowned.
This told him something ha6 Hap
pened to disturb her, and singularly
enough he even felt pleased to know
ne had so far entered into her life that
she could be disturbed by malicious
tales affecting his honor.

emotion.
AS for Colonel John. when he found
n vacancy where the charming Geor-

his wits and sprang to the door. but
1t was too late, for Mollie could no
longer be seen.
