Margaret Lear follows IN part:
in every low negro dive of the
South they sell certain brands of gin.
whose very names, for the most part,
cannot mention here. Obscene
titles, obscene labels, advertise by
suggestion. by double meanings, that
these compounds contain a drug to
stimulate the low passions which
have made the race problem such
dreadful thing in the South. These
bottles do not contain what their
labels imply; chemical analysis shows
that the mixture is only cheap,
blended gin. with a slight infusion,
in some cases, of a sweetening which
may be Benedictine

meanings, clear to every man who
knows the Southern negro. in the pic

the quality of the milk from each COW
remained practically constant, whether
she was MIXED by hand or machine
1t required from two 70 three times as
long TO milk a COW with the machine
as would have been required by a good
hand mixer. but one operator can ham
die two or three machines. so he could
milk four or more COWS with the ma
chine in less time than he could milk
the same number by hand.
The success of a mechanical mixer
depends to large extent upon the COW
as to whether she readily becomes ac-
customed to the machine, according to
tests just made at the Pennsylvania ex-
pertinent station. 1t was found there
was usually a slight drop in milk yield
when changing from hand milking to
the machine. and two of the COWS
could never be MIXED with the ma
chine without leaving one or more
pounds of strippings. while others were
often MIXED as completely as would
be done under ordinary circumstances
In general the cows were MIXED clean

Beef Type and Dairy Type.

The Iowa Experiment Station some
time since reported the results of a
years feeding test to determine the re-
latiye economy for beef production OF
the beef and dairy types of cattle. a
question that is receiving much atten-
ton at this time The results attained
are summarized as follows:
Dairy type steers slowed a consid-
erably higher percentage of offal and
q lower dressing percentage.
Dairy type steers carried higher per-
centage of fat on internal organs, there
by increasing the total weight of cheap
parts.
Beef type steers carried higher per-
centage of valuable cuts
Beef type steers furnished heavier,
thicker cuts; they were more evenly
and neatly covered with outside fat,
showed superior marbling in flesh, were
of clearer white color in fat and a
brighter red in the lean meat; but
there was little difference in fineness
of grain.
The low price paid for dairy steers
may be due partially TO prejudice, and
to the lower grade carcasses; but 1t Is
chiefly greater expense of carrying and
selling, due to an actual inferiority In
the carcasses.
1t Is neither profitable nor desirable
to feed steers of dairy type for beef
purposes. They are unsatisfactory 10
the consumer because they do not fur
nish thick and well-marbled cuts, they
are unsatisfactory to the butcher he
cause they furnish low-grade carcasses
which are difficult TO dispose of, AID
they are decidedly unsatisfactory TO the
feeder because they yield him little
or no profit, and both breeder and feed
er waste their time in producing such
a type of steer for beef purposes.

counters the weevil and selzes him. The
