Kean,nr Tab on Cow.

A sympathetic and accurate record
of each and every COW in a dairy herd
Is valuable for many reasons. First,
the owner determines which animal to
retain and which to weed out. Every
COW showing a deficient balance sheet
urder average conditions should be sold
to the butcher at once. Second, it en-
courages accuracy and system. Third,
it enables the feeder to judge the COM
parative value of different feeds.
Fourth, II a COW Is not doing properly,
the fact is at once noticed on her milk
sheet and the necessary changes may
be made to restore the animal to her
proper condition. Fifth, it furnishes
good way of checking careless or indif-
ferent mixers. Sixth, 1t shows any
iIregularity, effect of early or late milk
ing, effect of high or low temperature,
effect OF exposure to cold or storms and
the effect of drinking ice-cold water.
Last, and most important, the daily
milk record tells exactly each month
Just what the cows are doing. No dairy
can be successfully conducted without
it. Keeping an accurate record is one
of the most important parts of the bust
ness.
Growth of Useless Animal Organs.
In many animals there are certain
organs which, useful in their earlier
stages, have apparently been so greatly
/,
ORANGES. The horns of certain deer,
for example, useful weapons of defense
when smaller, have become so large
as rather to handicap the animals in
the struggle for life. The huge over
grown teeth, or tusks, Of certain of the
boar family may be cited as further ex-
amples. These are sometimes explained
as organs which have been more useful
in their present state under former diff
ferent conditions, and which have per-
sisted through heredity. In the Amer
lean Naturalist, however. Mr.. F. B.
Loomis brings forward another explain
alton. He thinks the growth OF such
organs is due to what he calls "momen-
tum in variation" As variation pro-
ceeds In a certain direction, 1t &C
ouires, Ike body moving under the
action Of gravity, a momentum which
nay carry 1t past the stage OF greatest
utility. This factor In evolution. Mr..
LOOMS thinks, has not been assigned
the importance it deserves
Other eyolutionists. however. have
suggested that when an animal or plant
has once started TO vary in given d.
rection, It acquires a tendency to go ON
varying In that direction. And this,
although the word momentum is noe
used, agrees with the above theory.

One good thing can be said of
strawstack hog house. 1t does not
have a foul smell, as many hog houses
do. A hog will keep its bed clean If
given a chance, but 1t does not have
reasoning powers that will enable 1t
to escape the extremes of heat and
cold usually found in straw-stack
bed

Moldy corn fodder may be eaten by
stock if they don't have anything else
to satisfy their appetites. Nevertheless
that does not mean that such fodder
Is as good as bright fodder. If you

blessed a great deal more than some
Of your neighbors.

When the orchard trees begin to lock
horns one is at a loss to know what

A simple nail puller can be easily
made from one-quarter- fiat file
that has survived its usefulness. A
convenient size is one inch wide, one
quarter inch thick and one foot long.
1t should be heated ad formed like

Is in taking down barbed wire fence

NEXT SATURDAYS ELECTION.

The primary election, under the
uniform primary law, which will
be held next Saturday, will inaugu-
rate series of departures, not the
least of which will be that the time
honored and serviceable county
convention following the primary
will be omitted and the county com
missiouers will declare the results.
In the past the county conventions,
especially of the party in the as
tendency, were generally crowded
with incidents. Under the old
order if there was any factional OPP
position or any personal antagon-
ism in the campaign it was sure to
crop out in the convention and as a
result the proceedings were often
more stormy than edifying. The
change brought about by the uni
form primary law is probably not
much to be regretted. The county
convention will be remembered
more for what it was than for the
good it accomplished.
The election under the uniform
primary law requires for each vot-
ing place a new ballot box to be
kept separate from the one in use
at the general election.
The election will take place OH
Saturday between the hours of 2
and s o'clock p. m. AT the closing
of the polls at the primary election
the officers will first count the
number of ballots cast for each
party, making a record thereof;
they will then count the vote cast
for the different persons named up
on said party ballot. After certi-
flying to the number of votes cast
the officers will replace the ballots
counted and canvassed in the boxes
and lock the same, after which
they will place the returns of votes
and the register of voters for each
party i'll separate envelopes and
seal the same. These envelopes on
or before noon on Tuesday follow
ing must be deposited by the judge
of election i'll person or by register
ed mail with the county commis-
sioners, who shall on the succeed
ing day at noon publicly commence
the computation and canvassing of
the returns and continue the same
from day to day until completed.
The successful candidate will re-
ceive certificate from the county
commissioners.
The qualifications Of electors en-
titled to vote at primary are the
same as the qualification of cleo
tors entitled to vote at elections
within the election district where
the primary is held. .-Ex.

SATURDAYS COURT.

A short session of court was held
on Saturday morning.
Judge Evans stated he had pre-
pared an opinion in the appeal for
jury Of view in regard to the pro-
posed opening of East First and
East Fourth streets but had failed
to bring it with him. He consider
ed, however, that one jury would
be be sufficient to serve on both
views, and that the jury should be
appointed under the laws as amend
ed by the Act of May, 1907. This
provides for the appointment of
only three jurors instead of six to
constitute jury of view. The
Court made the report of the view
ers returnable the first Monday il
July.
c. w. Miller, master in the di-
vorce proceedings of Mary l.. Nor
dan VS.. Isaac Mordan, recommend
ed divorce on the grounds of cruel
and barbarous treatment and the
Court made the order.
c. +, Kreischer, Esq, was ap-
pointed master in divorce upon the
petition of +. J. Flynn Esq, for
the appointment of master in the
proceedings of Mary Lewis VS..
Morris Lewis, both of Centralia.
John G.. Harman, Esq, present
es the petition for the appointment
of master in the divorce proceed
irgs of Fred Swisher VS.. Dora
Swisher Millville parties, the
grounds being desertion.
Rev. J. K. Murphy was appoint
ed guardian Of Arthur Cronin, the
minor son of Elizabeth Cronin.
In the appeal of taxpayers
from the report of the county audi
tors of 1905 the bail was reduced
from $500 to 5000 and the time for
forfeiting the recognizauce was eX-
tended twenty days from Saturday.
Court crier Clark Richart, who
has been seriously i'll for some time,
was back in his place at the open
ing of court, Saturday.
Judge Evans declared the Court
would break up the practice of re-
turning criminal cases which should
never have been brought and will
under no circumstances permit the
costs to be placed on the county.
This statement was called forth
when he refused the petition to
place the costs on the county in
the case of the Commonwealth VS..
Bessie Harrison, arrested upon in
formation lodged by Officer Spell
man of the d. l.. & w. Railroad
on the charge of receiving stolen
| goods from the d. l.. & w. station
at Berwick. The costs amounted
to about SIS.
