So believe that the conditions under
which an animal is reared determine in
a large measure her future usefulness

balps Dairy Farmer AS with men,
the parentage is Of great value, and
we look for and have good reason to
expect cows to be better cows from a
long line of productive ancestry This,
then is the stepping stone in the de.

The Good Bull.
Authorities say that daughters take
after their fathers and sons after their
mothers" in predominant character
istics. This is true of all animal life
If bulls lineage can be traced
through a line of remarkable mixers
his value will be enhanced. He Will
transmit the qualities Of his dam to his
offspring. 1t often happens that the
farmer who buys cows with the idea
of raising heifers is disappointed. He
is impatient. He cannot wait for the
second generation. He thinks his cows
are improbable because their heifers
are not as good as be had hoped they
would be. It usually takes at least
two generations to get herd into good
working condition. You can't do 1t In
minute. Don't get hasty, but keep
the facts in mind and work toward .
definite purpose Above all, use good
sire. You need good cows. That Is
plain. And you need good sire to get
good cows. That isn't as plain as i
ought to be. BY good bull we mean
one whose maternal blood stands for
milking qualities and performance.

it is simply case of sneezing and dis
charge from the nose resulting from a
slight cold nothing more in the way of
treatment will be required. It will be
well to spray the nose with lukewarm
water to which little salt has been
added. After spraying wipe dry.

A friend took us into his cellar the

FOURTH OF DECEMBER.
This Is the Thirty-ninth Birthday OF
Our Order.

This Is the Thirty-ninth Birthday of
Our Order.
The 4th of December is observed in
grange circles as the birthday Of the
Order, for on the 18th of December, 1867,
the first subordinate grange in the
world was organized and marked the
beginning Of this great organization.
1t is well for subordinate oranges ev-
prywhere to make some observance Of
this event by holding a meeting in
which the achievements of the grange
during the thirty nine years of exist
ence may we'll constitute prominent
feature. 1t is an anniversary occasion
and should include some entertainment
as well as the historical features.
Some subordinate oranges have not
failed to observe this event any year
during thirty years of existence,
record that it would be well for other
oranges to adopt as their object II the
future.

SPECIAL MEETINGS.

Meanbers should Not BE Elerted nj
such Times
Sometimes the question arises for
discussion in our oranges as TO wheth-
er candidates can be elected at spe-
cial meeting or not. BY a special we
mean d meeting not on the regular
dates chosen for the meetings. 1t may
be said that if the bylaws contain no
provision to the contrary, if notice has
been sgiven to ali members of the
grange, candidates can be elected to
membership at special meetings; but,
as ; q rule, this is not advisable. The
reason is this: A candidate who might
not be acceptable to certain members
of the grange could be balloted for and
elected in the absence of such mem
bers from the special meeting, they not
knowing that the special meeting had
been called for that purpose. Ii they
are absent from regular meeting, they
can raise no objection, as their absence
is their own fault Whether announce
ment made at regular meeting of the
grange that a special meeting for the
election of candidates TO membership
wonld be held on given date would
be considered legal notice to the mem
bers of the grange may be an open
question To be sure of a possibly IL
legal action in this respect it would
be better for the secretary to notify
the members by person or by letter
that an election Of candidates for mem
bersaip would occur at a special meet
ing. AS exigencies are very rare that
would request election to membership
at any other than a regular meeting.
we would advise that all oranges OBJ
serve the rule to elect only at regular
meetings Country Gentleman

THE FAVROT CASE.

Al the meeting of the Supreme Court
of Louisiana, held in New Orleans Mon
day. Justice Monroe, as the organ OF
this tribunal submitted the opinion i'll
the Favrot case, which sustalns the rul-
ing of District Judge Brunot IN quash-
ing the indictments, against George tav-
rot, held for murder, and others his
decision is not surprising, indeed IT was
anticipated and was based on the tact
that one of the grand jurors was incom-
netent and therefore these indictments
are illegal.
From Baton Rouge It is announced
that 1T is not believed another gran
Jury can be found which will return an
indictment for murder against the con
gresham.
Why not?
If the same facts as were presented to
the grand jury which led to the indict-
ment of Favrot and others are adduced
before the present new grand jury, why
should there be failure of justice?
Is il because Judge Favrot, the con-
gressman-elect from the Sixth District.
is the man imprisoned for the murder of
Harry Aldrich?
When boys, George K. Favrot and
Harry Aldich were schoolmates, class
mates and chums. In manhood their re-
lations were cordial, their friendship
strong. until there came an estrange-
ment from reports which, il true, were
damaging TO Dr. Aldrich. Unfortunate
ly, DR. Aldrich is dead and he can not
speak, but it is due his wife and his
children that the truth be known, dis
agreeable though it may be.
In his defense Judge Favrot pleads JUS
LITIGATION, in the unwritten law, for his
deed.
1t can scarcely be credited that man
such as was Dr. Aldrich; va man es-
teened as the soul of honor, who was
the frisnds Of widows and orphans, who
was noted for his generous philanthropy
and good deeds, man who was loved
and esteemed by his friends and his fell
low townsmen, could have so far depart
ed from his rectitude of conduct; could
have sacrificed his character; could have
invited retribution by defaming the
name of mans wife-the punishment
for which, in Louisiana, is death
The relatives and friends of DR.. AL
drich have been and are urging thor
ough and impartial investigation, and
win be satisfied with nothing else. Is
this to be denied them by, as suggested
significantly, that it is not believed that
another grand jury can be found which
will return an indictment for murder
against the congressman"
Would Judge George K Favrot, con-
gressinan-elect as man, accept such a
travesty of justice, as vindication, a
justification for the murder, as alleged,
Of his schoolmate, his classmate and his

If Judge Favrot, congressman elect.
can Justify himself in the unwritten law,
let him court thorough investigation ;
let him nor his friends seek justification
IN the failure of the granl jury to find
a true bill il the facts which led to the
indictment be presented to the grand
jury, the validity of which will be war

ties of law.
