FINE HoLsTEIN RECORD 4
What a Nebraska Cow Has Done In
4" TWelve-Month Test.

."
!, A three-year-old COW owned by the
Nebraska Agricultural college was
given IL months official test with
the result below. Every pound of milk
was weighed and tested for butter fat.
The COW was MIXED three times day
for the first six months of lactation
and all the feed given her was
weighed. The results obtained were
especially interesting.
. In 365 days this COW produced 1858
pounds of milk OF an average test of
3,34 per cent. butter fat. This amount
ed to 620 pounds of butter fat for the
year, which estimated as butter
amounts to 734 pounds. At 25 cents
per pound this butter would be worth
$1S1. making total value of products
,$22S. The value of the milk solids,
not fats, at 3 cents per pound would
DO SAT.
ia The whole cost OF the feed for this
COW was $71. II the 1900 quarts OF
milk had been sold for cents per
quart, the income would have been
$3.50. or a net profit over the cost of
feed Of nearly $3.50, but as the milk
was actually sold for 6 cents per quart,
the net profit over the cost of feed
was nearly s470.. For net profit, this
COW, stands close to the record, In fact.

As to the Reformatery'
Charlotte News.)

Referring to the News as the
paper "That perhaps has made
the strongest, most relentless
fight of all for the reformatory,"
and commenting on a recent edi-
torial in the News, the Whining
ton Dispatch has the followingto
say with regard to the reforlna-
tory:
"If the Senate stands by t he
Houses vote OF 7S to 6, better
still by all thepeople ofthe State,
who understand the matter, the
Preston bill providing for the es-
tablishment Of areformatory will
become q law. There is but little
doubt but what the Senate will
adopt the measure, and when it
does brighter days will dawn for
North Carolina, because it will
mean the beginning OF time when
children OF the State who have
done wrong ithe majority ofthem
through inattention and thouht-
lessness, will be shown the error
of their ways and al attempt
madedo teach them to he better
in future, thereby not only bene-
fitting themselves but helping
to uphold their State. The refor-
matory fight has been a long one
and in many respects a hard one,
but victory, as generally, is no
doubt, to perch upon the banner
of those in the right. The estab-
lishment. of a reformatory was
sought at the last Legislature, but
during'the interim since then and
the present session much mission
ary work was done and the wo-
men of the State entered into the
fight and besought that the legis
lature do something to rescue
| youthful criminals. There has
been opposition; in fact the six
negative votes in the House show
ed that there was opposition to
the bill at the time OF passage,
but this opposition while meant
in good faith, we knowlacked un-
derstanding"
We agree with the Dispatch in
the above in every particular.
And we, too, believe the reforma-
tory is safe with the Senate. AS
We have said before, the public
eye is fixed on the Senate in its
action with regard to the matter
and We trust the bill will shortly
pass that body.
On the fight waged for the in
stitution there is cause for pride
throughout the state. Scarce
ly ever were SO many persons OF
all classes lined up in support Of
a good measure. And now that
victory is in sight there is still
greater cause for rejoicing.

justifiable the circumstances were
has not developed, but Vilarea
was convicted of a crime involv-
ing moral turpitude and hence
was not admissible to tn ! 8
country under the immigration
regulations. Then the question
arose. Ii he was sent back to
Mexico he undoubtedly would
be taken and shot as a revolu-
zionist. Of course we did n o t
want togiveupa political refugee
but he could not come in as an
immigrant. So what were we to
do. The State Department hand
the immigration bureau have
been chewing over the matter for
some months and Mr.. Vilarea is
still in Jail. 1t has been suggest
ed to them that if he is to be
deported, it had better be about
midnight and nothing said to
anyone till the next day. Or he
might be taken a few hundred
miles west ofEl Paso and showed
over the border, in which case he
would stand some show of get
ting away. But in the interest
OF pure sport, it looks as though
he ought to be given ''game law"
and this he will not get if he is
turned loose in the grasp of the
Mexican Government. :.
Southern educational institu-
tions will be a good deal disap-
pointed at the decision of the
Peabody Trustees who met in
Washington this week not to
release any OF the funds now in
their possession in aid OF south
ern education. The money a.
mounts to about 50, 800, 900 and
was left by Geo. Peabody OF Lon.
don, his library fame, antedating
that ofMr Carnegie. Thefuud has
been accumulating since 1857
and now amounts to a goodly
sum. The trustees will eventually
distribute it educational institu
tions, mostly in the south, and
it was thought that this would
be done at their meeting in Wash
ington this week. But they re
mained in session all day and
then announced that they would
keep the matter under advise
ment till their next meeting ir
November. So the schools and
colleges that had hoped to benefit
will have to wait awhile. But thu
money will eventually come tt
! them,
There is now a little appropri
alton OF $4,000 but OF very
great interest to everyone helt
up in Congress. 1t is to enable
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to make practical test'
OF railway signals and safet,
devices in general with a view tt
recommending their adoption
by the railroads. The Commits
sion shas never before had any
money to experiment within thi'
way, but the increasing frequenc,
OF railroad collisions and t h
attend a n t loss OF life ant
property has made it almost i'm
perative that something shoult
be done in this line. The chances
are that the appropriation vii

which it has long entertained.
that there is entirely too much
tolerance, too much gush, tor
the man who drinks to excess,
while all the Indignation is
poured on the man who makes
and sells liquor to supply the
demand of those who drink. In
commendation of that position
The Landmark is pleased to have
the following letter from Rev.
DR.. j. c. Rowe, Of Concord, one
Of the most prominent and beet
known. as well as one OF t h e
ablest Methodist ministers in the
State. The letter is printed by
his permission:
III have just read IN the Char

| am seized with n desire TO write
and commend the editor for that
article. The logical inference from
t h e temperance teaching as
have it and heard it for 25 years
has been that II liquor is within
easy reach OF a man he is excusa-
BILE for getting drunk-in TACT he
isexpected to get drunk. Tenn
perance teachers don't intend
this inference to be drawn from
their teaching, but the logic OF
sentiment points this way. Con-
sequently the liquor sellers are
denounced as engaged in the low
business Of debauch,ng men and
making drunkards. The liquor
makers and sellers are accused OF
being the sole makers of drunk
ards. Therefore the remedy is to
abolish the making and selling
OF liquor. So lar very good, But
liquors. made and sold to supply
a demand. Stop the demand and
the supply will stop.
"The best remedy is to make
drunkenness disrnptable. lfsocial
sentiment was strong and intol.
erel.t against drinking liquor
many men who drink liquor
would lei it alone. Public senti-
ment will not allow certain CLASSES
to drink. A preacher or u woman
drunk on the streets il u public
disgrace. Public sentiment will
not tolerate it.
Supposethe sameintolerant sen
timent existed toward everybody
else. Has a man any more right
to he drunk than a woman? II a
man gets drunk and commits n
crime let 1t be an aggravntion OF
