A SONG WRITER DEAD.
Col. Hays Claimed the Original Auth
orship of "Dixie"-Some of His
Famous Productions.

Louisville, KY, July 24.-Col. VIII
S. Hays, the veteran river editor OF
the Courier-Journal, song writer and
poet, died at his home here Tuesday
of vertigo, caused by "a stroke OF
paralysis suffered in the lroquois
theater fire in Chicago. He was 70
years old. Col. Hays has always
claimed the authorship of the original
words of Dixie" and that he was
responsible for the arrangement of
the music His version of Dixie was
written at the outbreak of the Civil
war, but the words were considered so
seditious that the writer was arrested
and compelled to change them. BY
that time, it is said, Dan Emmett, the
minstrel, had written his song and his
publisher had 1t copyrighted. Col.
Hays most famous song was Molly
Darling" the sales of which reached
100000 copies in Europe and Amer
lea. Among his other songs were:

PANAMA CANAL REPORT
Excavation in the Culebra Cut o24,
$50 Cubic Yards.
Working Force Last month Was 3d.,
327-only Four Deaths Among
4,300 White Americans.

Washington, July 26.-The detailed
report of the operations OF the
Isthmian canal commission on the
isthmus for June last was received
Wednesday.
The excavation in the Culebra dfvi-
sion was 624,5S6 cubic yards against
669,365 cubic yards during May, and is
more than three times the amount
taken out in June, 1906. The report
says that with 10000 yards per shovel
as the maximum output during the
dry season, 10000 yards per shovel
cannot be considered a serious falling
off when the excessive rainfall 1884
inches) for June is taken into account.
The excavation at Gatun amounted
to 1903 cubic yards, and in the
Canal Prism 1882 cubic yards were
dredged.
The report of the department of Ia
Dor and headquarters shows the total
working force on June 20 as 23,327.
This is exclusive of the force employ
ed by the Panama railroad.
The chief sanitary officer reports
that out of 1890 white America esem-
ployes there were only four deaths
during the month and out of about g.
500 whites other tnan Americans
there were but Is deaths. Out OF
about $4,000 colored employees there
were 70 deaths making total of 81
deaths in June against 90 in May.
Taking all deaths of employees to-
gether only 70 deaths in June were
due to what are considered climatic
diseases-malaria and dysentery-and
none of these occurred among the
white American employs.

FUSION LEGAL IN NEBRASKA.
Supreme Court Orders Secretary of
State to Place Populist Name
on Democratic Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb., July 25.-The demo
Gratis and populists of Nebraska have
won their fight for fusion on the
tickets at the first direct primary
election on September 8. The SUI
preme court Wednesday handed down
a decision overruling the demurrer of
the attorney general and ordering the
writ of mandamus to compel the Sec
rotary of state to permit fusion on
the primary ballots. The question
was argued Tuesday at special sit
ting of the court. The fusionists now
have until August to get their Pc
titions out and names of candidates
filed.
The suit was the outcome of the
refusal of the secretary of state to
put the name of a populist on the
democratic ticket as candidate for re-
gent of the state university, he act
ing on the advice of Attorney Gen
eral Thompson who wanted the law
tested.

The records of the Shorthorn Soci-
ETY. of Great Britain and Ireland show
the immense number of animals that
have been exported during the year
1906, and the majority of these ami
mails have been sent to South Ameri-
ca, more especially to the Argentine
republic. Indeed, the great demand
for them in that country is the princi-
pal cause of the boom in shorthorn
cattle. One would imagine that in
consequence of the severe drain on
the herds of Great Britain, caused by
the expectation of so many of their
finest animals, depreciation would
be found in the quality of the stock to
be seen at shows, sales and on breed
ers' farms; but, as matter OF fact,
such is not the case
In spite of this increasing demand,
the standard of excellence attained by
the shorthorn breed is quite as high
as, and perhaps higher than, it ever
was before. Breeders find that it pays
them better to devote large portion
of their time to the improvement OF
their cattle. AS is the case with all
stock, the mating of the parents and
the rearing and the management of
the calves have a great deal to do
with the fact that young bulls and
heifers arrive at such state of per-
lection as is only attained in Eng
land.
. If shorthorn breeding were unprof-
table, one would soon find that own
ers would turn their attention to some

most subtle shades, and l have seen
the loveliest effects obtained with en-
broideries in japanese style, carried
out entirely in two or three shades of
the same color. Powered muslins are
also very fashionable for afternoon
frocks and a favorite melange is
lowered muslin and plain muslin, the
latter being in the same shade as the
groundwork Of the former. Once again
we are wearing embroidered skirts
with plain bodices, or blouses, but in
variably the sleeves show the same
embroidery as that on the skirt
1t is predicted that we shall see
ivory white lace blouses worn with
colored linen and tussore skirts, but
no one reading this paragraph must
run away with the idea that the funny
old "blouse-and-skirt" idea is coming
in favor again. 1t is quite possible
that white lace blouses will be worn
with pale blue linen. or pale peach
tussore, skirts in the late summer, but
these colored skirts will invariably
be inset-in some way-with the same
lace as that used for the blouse. 1t
will not be a case of "blouse-and
skirt" but of a specially designed cos
tune.

more lucrative branch of farming, and
a deterioration in our herds would be
the result. The demand, too, in for
eign countries is for young animals in
the pink of condition; therefore, 1t is
rarely that the exporter will take out
shorthorns over a certain age. In con-
sequence of this the older cows and
bulls are, generally speaking, left in
the old country, and in many cases
these latter are the parents of some
Of the best stock produced.
1t is an age of early maturity, and a
bull or heifer of great excellence at
two or three years old will often, after
having attained mature age, be sur
passed by a stable companion who

animals are overlooked by the foreign
er, and fortunately remain at home.

sons for the continued supremacy of

what happens? Do the breeders of
the other descriptions Immediately
sell out their own stock and rush In
trying to buy up and produce the
popular strain? No! Knowing that
such policy as this would be fatal,
they bide their time. Doubtless they
look round to discover the reason why
this particular branch of shorthorns
is so sought after, and If they dis
cover that it Is due to the inferiorlty
of their own strain of cattle in some
particular point, although they Will
not openly acknowledge ii, they en-
deavor to breed so as to make good
any deficiency that may exist; and,
as is nearly always the case, the
swing of the pendulum in due course
will bring the trade back to their own
variety, which has thus indirectly
benefited by it's season of adversely.
But the most extraordinary exam
pie of the manner in which the Brit
ish shorthorn breeder looks ahead
and endeavors to keep his stock to
the front is furnished by the breeders
of pedigree dairy shorthorns. There
can be no doubt that the highest
prices in late years have been given
for the most heavily fleshed animals
procurable, and it seems absurd that,
while there has been an almost I'M
paralleled trade for this class of cat
tie, minority of shorthorn men
should have embarked on the breed
ing for milk and not for beef; but
these are the reasons which made

them calculate on a future for their
cattle: Cd They knew that the con-
tinued production of animals bred to
give the maximum of beef might
sooner or later lead to the production
of females which would only yield the
minimum of milk, and no doubt to a
great extent this has been the case in
some herds (2) The dairying industry
has enormously increased of late
years. The trade in dairy produce
now in the United Kingdom is esti-
mated at e7O,O0O,O0O sterling, annual
value, of which 93O,O0O,OOO is i'm
ported from abroad, and in conse-
quence of the latter fact dairy cattle
are wanted for expectation. 90 Dairy
farmers in England were at loss to
know where to procure registered
shorthorn bulls from COWS of milk
ing strain. They had bred for several
years pedigree shorthorns which
could yield plentiful supply of milk,
and which were at the same time
capable Of laying on flesh when dry,
and the next step for them was to
prove to home and to foreign dairy
men that such was the case, for al
though the milk supply of our large
centers of population in England is
mainly obtained from shorthorn COWS
mot necessarily registereO, or their
crosses, until lately, venture to say,
few, if any, foreign breeders of dairy
cattle had any idea that such was the
case, the shorthorn being regarded
abroad as a beef brand only.

To Get Lots Of E94s.

A. F. Ancier Of Earlville, N. Y, gives
the following rules for producing heavy
egg returns: In the morning feed q
mash composed Of ground corn, oats,
wheat, clover and green bone, just what
they will eat up clean, and later throw
into the litter a little wheat or millet
for which they will have to scratch.
At noon give steamed clover with mid
dlings, at. night cracked corn, wheat
and barley, all they will clean up at
once Never feed more than they will
eat Immediately. Suspend a head Of
cabbage in the pen for them to pick
at during the day. You will be u
prised at the amount Of green food they
will eat during the winter A
most excellent green food for all kinds
Of fowls is Dwarf Essex rape. Sow the
poultry yards to rape in winter and
when the snow Is off give the fowls
free access to it and your eggs will
practically all be fertile.
