Board of Revenue Capabilities.

To the Eiditor of The Age-Herald:
 MT. T. A. Hamilton, a candidate for the Board of Revenue, has taken excep- ton to a part of my communication on the county roads which appeared last Sunday. on the ground that it is a re- fiection on him.
 He has written me a note in which he says:
 After referring to certain worthy and wealthy gentlemen whom you would like to see fill the office, you said after hay ing mentioned the 40 aspirants for office, that in a primary the capable and effi- cient men are lost sight of in the mob of aspirants who are seeking the office simply for what it yields This language certainly implies and charges the said aspirants for the office of Board of Rev enue with a low order of manhood, and of mercenary nature altogether un- worthy of respect and therefore incapable of administering any office or of com manding the respect of the community" When I wrote the article I had no in- tention of refecting on any one person. ally, and did not even remember that MT. Hamilton was a candidate.
 Having disclaimed any intention to re- fleet on MT. Hamilton personally, de- sire to add that wholly apart from his motives in seeking place on the Board of Revenue, do not regard Mir. Hamil- ton as an ideal man for the position.

LETTERS TO THE --DITOR.
The Late Charles G. Long.
Le Editor of The Age-Herald:

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 wish to pay a tribute to the life and character of the late Charles c. Long of Selma, Ala. He was a man to whom anyone In distress could go, with the knowledge of the fact that assistance would be given to the extent of his abl- ity. He was man of strict honor and sterling honesty, one in whom implicit confidence could be placed; he detested deceit or double-dealng in any form.
 A marked characteristic of Charley" Longs was the perfect and childlike con fidence he placed in those with whom he came in contact and dignifed by the title of friend. He was in my employ continuously from May. 1882 until April, 1885, when I ceased contracting and re- tired from the building business. Dur ing that period I was frequently ab- i sent from the city on matters connected with my business, but was always con scious of the fact that my affairs were in the hands of an honest and thorough ly competent man.
 I was instrumental in securing the con- tract for the building of the Selma thea tre for MT. Long. After he had com peted the building, George O. Baker, the leading spirit in the erection of that en- terprise, wrote me that he was indebted to me for putting him in the way of securing the services of the best me- chanc he had ever come in contact with and better still, the truest and squarest man it had ever been his good fortune to know. What greater honor could have been bestowed on a man than such a testimonial from such a fine character as George O. Baker of Selma Mir. Long was employed on salary as foreman by me not as builder of "O'Brien's'' opera house. FRANK. P. OBR1EN.

caseIn in Cows, MILK.

II has long been known that the
casein In cows milk varies in guam
tity. The old idea was that the casein
was always In the same proportion,
no matter how rich or how poor the
milk might be in butter fat. But 1t is
approximately true that the poorer the
milk in butter fat, the poorer is 1t in
casein, the foundation of cheesemak-
ing. For a long time the butter fat
content was used as the standard by
which to Judge of the value of milk
for cheesemaking. But It was found,
as the result of a long series of lnves.
legations, that there was some varia-
tion between the fat-content and the
casein content, and now milk fol-
cheesemaking is purchased on its fat
and casein content. The casein con,
tent is shown by special method OF
analysis, as is that of the presence OF
fat

FEEDING Alfalfa 10 Hons.

Alfalfa hay is a good feed for hogs,
but 1t must be fed In way that will
prevent 1t from being wasted The
Wyoming station has developed a
feeding arrangement that is worth
copying wherever alfalfa can be raised.
II consists OF a box which can be made
any size to suit convenience. The
dimensions of the box illustrated In a
bulletin of the station are not given,
but we should Judge It to be about
two feet high, two feet wide and
eight feet long. II has cover that
shuts down over 1t when It is filled
with alfalfa. In the sides of the box
are three holes large enough for the
hogs to get their heads through to get
at the alfalfa. The apertures are large
enough to allow a part of the neck to
pass In. so the animals can reach
across the box. The cover not only
keeps the hogs out, but would keep
out the rain in a humid climate.

SUMMER CARE OF FLOCK.
Things the Successful Raiser viii BE
Sure o Remember.

In the first place the entire dock
should be thoroughly dipped in one Of
the good commercial dips, which are
both cheap and effective. l then find
1t profitable to separate the BARI en-
ewes and any that have lost their
lambs, writes an Indiana farmer in
Farm and Home. These I put on
clover or blue grass pasture and feed
corn, either shelled or on the cob
have had good results feeding
them along with fattening hogs, thus
saving an extra pasture. Handled
rightly these ewes will be in fine shape
for market by June 15, which time
usually finds one of the best markets
for the year.
For the ewes and lambs to be car
ried over two OF three pastures should
be provided, so that a change can be
made every two or three weeks. do
not think a pasture can profitably be
made large enough to run a flock OF
sheep the entire season, with best re-
suits, especially II 1t has been used for
number of years.
During hot weather the sheep will
bunch closely in the shade and return
to the same spot often during the day
thus getting such spots dusty and un
fit for the sheep. BY changing from
one pasture to another we have fresh
grass and fresh resting places, since
these places have been disinfected by
sun and rain.
think it profitable to run other
stock In these pastures beside the
sheep, such as cows and calves, OF
yearling cattle. These animals keeI
down the rank grasses, and the sheer
will thrive better on short grass. II
blue grass or timothy becomes Ions
and rank sheep will not eat It we'll and
will lose In flesh. Such is not the
case with clover or rape, however.
Free access to salt which is damp
ened with turpentine during the dry
season is good thing. The odor o.
the turpentine keeps the flies from
heir noses and heads and destroys
some of the internal parasites.

profitable live stock that can be KEEP

in this locality at a lower cost pei

The wool, which itself makes a nice
profit. During the past few years the
price has ranged from 2S to "a cent
per pound for medium wool.

of the rack. This gives q wide space

gradually. Below this is nailed six
inch fence board. Common six-inch
fencing boards are used for stats,
which should be cut about two and
one-half feet long in order to lap
enough for mailing to the top of the

The Stats should be set about eight
inches apart. That gives each sheep
fourteen inches of feeding space and
thirty sheep can feed at sixteen-foot
trough. The trough can be used for
feeding either grain or roughage.

is SHE DOING HER eEsr9
Some Suggestions Regarding the Profit
Of Your Cow.

The man who is milking cows for
the purpose of making money should
remember that II he wants to know
what his cows are doing all he needs
to do is to use the Babcock test and
the scales. But remember this: That
the Babcock test and the scales tell
what the COW is doing but not what
she might do under improved care and
with better feeding Careful scientific
Investigations show that the percent
age of fat In the milk cannot be
changed materially by any system OF
feeding or care but the total guam
tity OF fat produced can be increased
very materially by improved care and
better feeding. In other words, the
total flow of milk can be increased
and that means the total amount Of
fat increased, Many a good COW does
not have a fair chance to show what
she can do. Several of our different
experiment stations have purchased
cows which we're Improbable under
the conditions In which they found
them, but which responded very quick
ly to improved feed and care, II you
are not making the money you should
out OF your cows by all means get q
Babcock test and pair Of scales and
go to studying the Individual cows. Al
the same time go to studying how tc
feed them better and give them better
care. Improved cows are not much
good without improved dairymen.
