Old Negro Breaks Record
for Stealing Cows.

Statewide, n. c., special in
the Observer Sharpe Bell, an
aged negro who has an interest
ing record, having spent most of
his time in Jail or on the chain
gang, was released from the gang
few days ago, his term having
expired, and people who know
his record are not anxious for
him 10 be about their barns at
night. Bell is somewhat of
kleptomaniac, cows being his
particular fancy. Some years ago
he was sent 10 the gang for steal
ing an animal and after serving
his term he stole another cow
and was again sent to serve a
term on the roads. TIE second
term had about expired in May,
1904, when he escaped from the
gang and went to Davie county.
A short time later he was tried
in Davie for stealing cow and
was sentenced to the Randolph
county chain-gang for year.
After serving his term he return
ed 10 Davie, stole another COW,
and was sent to Jail. The iredell
people asked that he be returned
here TO serve out his unexpired
term and the Davie county peo-
pie agreed to do this. After serv-
ing the remainder Of the unex
pired term, Bell was taken to
Davie, tried for stealing the last
cow and sentenced to the Iredell
roads for Is months. He has just
flushed the sentence.

The Profitable Cow.

ience with 100 COWS on an aver.
age Of thirty years. So he calls
that 5000 years of experience.
Well, Mr.. Gurler would learn
more from one COW in one year
than some men would if they
had all the cows in Illinois. But
he says considerable about this
matter of net profit with cow.
A great host of men must keep
COWS, but few however seem to
have learned the principle of Sc
curing a good profit from their
cows. Something is lacking, for
when we send a census taker
among them and he commences
to dig into the facts, which,
strange to say, they never had
done, he finds that either they
have the wrong kind of cows or
do not feed enough, or they feed
with wrong ideas and judgment,
or they do not keep their cows
in good health, vigor and COM
fort.
Something is the matter s1me-
where to cut down their profits.
One man was frank and honest
enough to tell us once that the
difficulty with him for 20 years
was that he did not know enough
about the business of keeping
cows. 81 thought it was so simple
a thing" he said, "that any man
could do it. But the moment /
commenced to read and study /
saw l was way off in my notions.
Now | am making some money
on my COWS"
Mr.. Curriers' favorite wav is
TO show the enormous difference
in profit between the cow that
yields 400 pounds Of butter
year and the one that yields 200
lbs. Well, the difference is enor-
nous. Let us figure on it for
moment Last year it cost $33.25
per COW to keep the Hoard's
Dairyman herd. We will take a
herd we know something about.
Calling the average price of but
ter for the year 25 cents, it
would require 1873 pounds of
butter 10 pay the cost of keep.
If it cost less than $33 25 to
keep these COWS they would give
less, for we keep our COWS at the
lowest possible cost and still
keep up their production. Then
in addition we must add six
dollars worth of butter, "a pounds
TO the amount, for that was what
the creamery charged for making
two hundred pounds. This shows
that it cost 157 pounds of strict
ly first class creamery butter to
keep our COWS. Now the entire
herd averaged within a small
fraction of 400 pounds per
cow. Call it 400 pounds. This
leaves us in butter alone 243
pounds as gain over cost of food
or a profit of $6075 per COW not
counting the skim milk.
Now, take the man whose
cows averaged 200 pounds, and
of them don't average
that. 1t cost him 1877 pounds of
butter to keep his COW, and if it
didn't cost him that he got less

advertised in the WATcHMAN

fact that the Crescent boys
have the most difficult side,
and it is watched with in

they will surely beat on that
