WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-To-day IS
the anniversary of oneo the most me.
morable speeches ever delivered in
the United States senate. and that fact
is recalled by many aged men of
Washington who lived in the national
capital during those troubled times. 1t
was on January II, 1861, that Jeffer-
son Davis. who later led the lost cause
10 defeat, arose in his place in the
senate chamber and solemnly an
nounced the secession of his State,
Mississippi, from the Union, and his
withdrawal from the senate.
Those who heard the momentous
address OF jefferson Davis declare
that it was a masterpiece of oratory,
not impassioned, not vindictive, but
Astounding in expressions of love for
his former colleagues and associa
lions. 1t brought tears to the eyes OF
many senator's, and after its conclu
sion nearly every member Of the au
gust body crowded around the tall
thind towering form of the Mississip
pl statesman and shook his hand in
farewell. The address was grave and
earnest and delivered with all the
courtley grace of a southern gentle
man OF the old school, but the force
of the orator did not serve to hide
the depths of feeling and emotion that
animated the man.
The anniversary is especially me.

I'LL PEOPLE.
~ WRIT COUNTY BELIEVE ILL
ING TO HAVE BEEN GAccl-
nEHT.

PARKERsBURG, Jan. Although
Willie Leedsome was held to await
the action OF the Writ county grand
jury on the charge OF killing Albert
shuck, 1t is generally believed by the
people OF Writ county that no indict-
nent will be returned against him.
According to one of the Writ county
officials who was in the city and was
seen by a reporter the theory of the
people there is that the killing was not
murder committed in the heat OF
passion, but an accident. Jeedsome
is only eleven years of age. The boy
he killed was his cousin.
The Leedsome boy claims that they
we're only engaged in friendly scuf,
le when his schoolmate was killed.
From the incoherent story told by
him 1t seems that he claims that he
had his penknife, which was a large
one, open when young schuck EN-,
braced him and they had scuffle,

ner stuck in Schuek's leg, evidently
penetrating the artery and making
such a deep wound that the flow OF
blood could not be stopped and the
lad bled to death. Many Writ county
people are inclined to believe the boy
and accept the killing as the result
of an accident instead of murder.
1t is said that the members Of the
two families are on the best of terms
and that they accept the above
story and that the schuck family does
not desire the prosecution of Iced
some.
The lad was given preliminary
hearing before justice in Spring dis
trict, Writ county, and held to await
the action of the next grand jury. His
bond was fixed at five hundred dol
lars and it was furnished Many
think this will be the last Of the case

SEPARATOR AND CALF.
Former Does Not Rob Latter Of Any
Elements Needed In His Rearing.

II is my observation that many
farmers would milk cows and sell the
cream IL they felt sure they could at
the same time produce a good calf,
writes correspondent of Farm and
Home l take IT for granted farm
ers know that IL skim milk calf
can be successfully grown IL will rep
resent one-half less cost than the calf
which has had the entire and exclu-
sive attention of It's dam.
The hand separator, which Is used
entirely In connection with the dairy
business in many western states. has
contributed very largely to successful
calf raising. This is so because the
milk can at all times be fed warm
and at the same temperature, and
also that it may be fed sweet at prac-
tically all times. In calf feeding the
uniform condition of the milk con-
tributes probably more than any other
one thing to successful feeding.
Skim milk contains all the elements
of whole milk, except the fat. and
these are the elements necessary to
produce muscle. bone, hair and pro-
mote growth of the young animal
Butter fat is not necessarily essential
to growth OF young calves. and four
per cent. milk. which Is rather
higher percentage of fat than aver
age milk. contains at least two per
cent. more butter fat than is needed
by the calf
To Illustrate this point many farm
ers will point out certain COW In
their herd which gives thin milk, yet
produces n larger and more vigorous
calf than the cows which give milk
containing much more fat. This Is
evidence In support OF my claim that
the normal amount OF fat contained
In cows milk is not needed by the
calf.
Skim milk contains all the elements
necessary for growth, Tut some fat
must be fed in connection with milk
to produce a certain essential amount
of fat In the calf's body, and also to
keep the calf warm. Calves running
with their dams are eating more fat
In loss to the owner. because II does
the calf no good.
When butter fat is selling at an
average price of 20 to 20 cents per
pound 1t will be economy to save this
fat and sell II. On the other hand, II
a substitute for this fat can be added
to the skim milk, and this substitute
is cheaper than butter fat, as 1t is.
then the farmer is again practicing a
system of economy. which he cant az
ford to overlook.

overfeedins the Dairy Calf.

One Of the most common ways OF in
juring dairy calves is to overfeed
them. When the calf is left with the
COW this does not occur. The calf
nurses frequently and gets little at a
time. But when he is raised by hand
he is fed but two or three times day
and Is then given all he will drink.
He is ravenously hungry and fills
himself up to the aching point. When
he has done this few times, his
stomach has been reduced to state
in which he cannot digest the milk
completely, and a part Of this is
passed undlgested into the intestines.
That begins the securing OF the calf.
II the same reckless feeding is contin'
ued. the calf stands good chance of
being killed. y-,----.,.

POTATO SCAB.
Some Suggestions for the Treatment
Of the Disease.

The true potato scab Is skin dis.
ease, and develops from a germ. A
picture Of scabby seed is shown. There
will be no scab on the crop uSsss
these germs are either In the soil
when the crop is planted or on the
seed. Prevention therefore depends
upon two things. We should avoid
planting in soil where the germs are
found. If this is impossible we should
handle the soil so that the germs
will not be active. 1t seems to be
settled that sulphur acts to- destroy
the germs. Some potato growers in
places where scab is bad put sulphur
in the hill or drill. When potato
planters are used the sulphur is mixed
in the hopper and dropped with the
seed into the furrow. 1t helps destroy
the scab and prevents the seed pieces
from rotting, especially in damp
season. The scab germs develop best
in an alkaline soil. Lime, wood ashes
and manure are all alkaline, and will
usually cause trouble when the soil
is known to be well supplied with the
germs. When green crop is plowed
under the soil is soured more or less,
and this condition is best for scabby
ground or seed. We have known farms
