FIVE CENT FARE GRANTED

Anniston, August S.-(Special Judge S. W. Tate of the firm of Tate & Walker. who have represented the city of Oxford
 in the fight for a 5-cent fare between this city and Oxford. stated this afternoon that an amicable agreement had been reached and that the Anniston Electric and Gas company would be granted d new franchise at a special meeting of the city council this evening over all the territory now traversed by their lines in consideration of 5-cent fare and ali transfer privileges now enjoyed Dy the city of Anniston.
 The city of Oxford claimed that the street railway company was operating without franchise, and to enforce their demand for the 5-cent fare between An niston and Oxford an ordinance was passed just before the death of the late General Manager H. w. Sexton, making it a penalty of s1OO and subjecting all employees operating cars to arrest for running through the city after August l.
 After MT. Sextons death, however, the enforcement of the ordinance was held up and the settlement is reached one day after the appointment of R. L. Rand as manager.
 The company denies that 1t was oper- atng without a franchise and states that it does not believe the city could havo enforced their ordinance, declaring that they granted the concession asked purely for enocomic reasons and in the interest of harmony. The 5-cent fare will be- come effective immediately.

Foods That Taint Milk.

The presence of wild garlic or wild
onions in pastures, the use Of turnips
and other feeds containing oil, must
be avoided where COWS are giving a
large amount of milk. Feeds which
have a bad odor, such as silage, must
be fed right after milking and at no
other time; otherwise the milk and
resulting butter are apt to show the
effects. In all cases keep these feeds
away from the COW during milking
time. Taints from siIage or other foul
feeds are transmitted through the air:
consequently if the air is full Of silage
odor the milk is apt to show it. Il,
however, feeds Of this kind are given
directly after milking, the product
from the COW cannot be distinguished
from that produced from other feeds,
although condensing factories and
some creameries prohibit its use.

The worth Of the Ayrshire as a dali
ry breed is fast becoming familiar to
all interested in the economical pro-
duction of milk, writes J. F. Converse
in American Cultivator. The environ
ments and conditions surrounding the
origin of the breed were more favora-
BILE to the production of a vigorous,
healthy animal than is the case with
any of the other dairy breeds. She has
always been in the hands of practical
men whose only object has been the
production of good milk and whose
aim has been to improve by judicious
selection and breeding the breed the
Scots gave to the world. The Ayrshire
has greater constitutional vigor than
any other dairy breed, which is of
primal Importance in the highly organ
lied nervous temperament of a great
producer.
In milk production she occupies a
coveted middle ground between the
Holsteins as large producers and the
Jerseys as rich producers. By virtue
of this vigorous constitution the Ayr
shire is admirably adapted to all condi-

home. When she heard last
Wednesday that local officers
were hunting for her, she walked
from Albany to Corvallis on the
wagon road and then went on, to
Philomath.
Early in July she ran away
from her home at Holley, ham
let in the foothills of Eastern
Linn county. Though bat IA
years old, she was inspired by a
desire to "see the world" and
has since been living the life of
hobo. Several time, she secur-
ed work in houses in different
towns but has never stayed more
than a day or two at a time.
Among other places she was
given employment in St. Mary's
Hospital here, but ran away
within an hour after she was as
sig ned to some work.
About week ago her mother
learned she was in Albany and
flaliy asked local officers to take
charge of her and send her home.
In some way the girl found she
was wanted and at once left for
Corvallis. Officers have been
searching for her ever since and
finally traced her to Philomath.
She will be taken back to Holly
tomorrow.

One Advantage of the Silo.

cornstalk as no other method Will.
Take a hill of corn when the ear has
just passed the glazing period. At no
other time in its life is there as much
feeding value in it. Let it stand, and
every day after that the stalk grows
poorer and more indigestible, and II
left until the ear has ripened fully
two-thirds of the feeding value OF the
stalk has been destroyed. 1t IS ques-

mother, has sacrificed itself for the

will not make more milk solids.
Now, If that hill of corn is put in the

have saved an enormous waste.

for waste, which has afflicted the

Near Paris there are hundreds of

OF which are deadly.
