W. S. Gilbert's Early Choice Of the
Stage Nipped in the Bud.

AZ the early age of 10. according to
the author of a recent biography OF Sir
W, :. Gilbert. the future dramatist
showed his theatrical bias, to his own
undoing
Enraptured with a splendid per-
Torrance of The Corsican Brothers"
at the Princess theater. then under the
management of Charles Kean. young
Gilbert packed up a few clothes in a
handbag and actually succeeded in
making an entrance to the theater.
with a view to going on the stage.
Greatly eiated at receiving the mes
sage that Kesn would see him in his
room. the boy lost courage when he
was face TO face with the great actor.
So you would like to go on the
Slage?' said Kean.

A rEn.YeAR RECORD.
Valuable Points for the Dairy Farme'
Suggested by Nebraska Station

In October, 1896, the dairy herd OIL
the Nebraska experiment statioh was
established for the purpose OF supply
ing milk and cream to the class room
and also 10 furnish animals which
could be used in various practical ex-
periments. The herd was started win
ten animals and increased TO u Dur
ing the ten years, 100 complete yearly
records were recorded The breeds OF
the herd were principally Jerseys ana
Holsteins. with some Shorthorns and
a few grades Of various breeds. All
records were carefully kept from day
to day during the ten years and all the
records were compiled. The 1850 rec
ords show an average Of 6.5l32 pounds
OF milk. and 1872 Sc pounds of butter
per COW per year. This average made
by number Of different breeds cover
ing a period of ten years gives rell-
able basis for figuring.
The conclusions deducted from the
Data are as follows:
As rule, short lacation periods
result in a high per cent, OF fat, while
long periods give lower per cent.
of fat
A large flow OF milk is generally as
sociated with a low per cent. of fat,
while a small flow gives higher test
1t was found. however, that the amount
Of butter fat did not vary as much as
the milk flow or the per cent. of fat.
In most cases heifers, with their
first calf did not show as high test
as they did at more mature age.
The per cent. OF butter fat did not
seem to be changed by the food ration
given.
In order to know the value of &
dairy herd and its members, it Is
necessary to keep a milk and buttei
fat record of each COW from year tC
| year. Such a record will show varia
ton in the value of the animals ant
will serve as a guide in building III
! the herd.
The cows varied from year to yea
in their butter fat production. Thu
good cows were inclined to give larg'
| yields year after year, while the poo
ones were in nearly all cases low.
1t was found that, as a rule. tn
variation in milk flow in indivi1ua
cows from year to year was due t.
length of lactation and rest befor
freshening. A long lactation perio
favors larger milk production; also
long period Of rest before freshenin
brings the same result.
The years 1905 and 1906 were use

accurately all data concerning the
amount of feed consumed by the cows.
The principal feeds given were as fol
lows: For roughage, alfalfa hay, corn
silage and pasture; for concentrates,
corn, bran, oats and linseed-meal. The
prices charged for the foods were
based on the average market price
during the time they were fed. The
butter fat produced was credited to
the cows at the market value. based
on prices paid by the creameries of
the state.
The conclusions from this test are
as follows:
The amount of milk and butter fat
produced depends upon the dairy ca,
pacity of the animal and the amount
and quality of the ration used.
Cows vary in their cost OF keep, also
in their ability TO use economically the
food consumed.
Cows of decided dairy type will re-

ANOTHER GARY PROVIDED FOR.

After a stubbornly contested
battle Hon. Frank B. Gary Of
Abbeville was chosen United
States Senator to I'll the unex-
pired term of the late United
States Senator Latimer. The
opposition to Mr.. Gary was at
the disadvantage of waiting un-
| til after Mr. Latimer's funeral to
organize, and thereby lost the
support Of a considerable num-
Der who had committed them
selves to Mr.. Gary, even before
the corpse had left Washington.
To our mind Mr.. Gary is not the
choice of a majority of the Gen
eral Assembly. nor is he the
choice of the State, as is evi-
dence .by the fact that he had
twice presented his claims to the
people of the State. and they
twice did reject them and him.
1t is our judgment that Mr..
Gary's election is due mainly to
the blundering Of the opposition,
and to the desire Of avoiding a
long deadlock.
The writer was opposed to
Mr.. Gary because he believed
there were a number of other
men more entitled to the dis
tlnguished honor: there were
others of equal or even more
ability, men who had rendered
the State as much or more SER
vice, and men that had not been
rewarded themselves nor have
members of their families been
rewarded. Mr.. Gary, personally
is a very agreeable man, pleas
ant in his contact with his fell
low man, especially when there
is anything in sight of interest
to him, he is a man of fine integ-
rity and fair ability, and, among
those who were with the oppo-
sition, were men that had form
erly been his friends, but these
men we're Of the opinion that it
was not altogether fair to give so
many important positions to one
family. The Gary's have been
well provided for in a political
way, and they it was who advo-
Gated s:rotation in Office" and
denounced the distribution OF
public favor among a chosen
few.
The leading opponent Of Mr..
Gary was Hon. Legrand e.
Walker of Georgetown. He was
defeated, but his friends areever
loyal to him, and the people of
South Carolina will yet call for
his service. Mr.. Walker &C.
cepted his defeat gracefully and
when his friends would express
their regrets, he would cheer
them up by some happy express
sion and complimentary alluslon
to his opponent, We predict
that LeGrand G.. Walker will be
a leading factor in South Caro-
lima before long, He has the
integrity and the ability, and all
of the makeup of statesman.

THERE IS NO BREACH.

There seems to be an impress
sion abroad that the State Sen
ate and Governor Ansel are not
agreed, which was the cause of
the Senate declining to comply
with the Governors request last
Friday night. to adopt an amend
ment to the Act providing for a
commission to wind up the State
dispensary. The amendment
came to the Senate in such shape
that none of the senators were
prepared to give it their endorse
ment. The senator who intro
duced it frankly said he had not
had the time to study its pro-
visions, and had only received a
general outline OF the measure.
The opponents Of the admins.
tration Immediately took ad-
vantage of this situation to pro,
test against what they designa-
ted, 'shurried legislation" :" but
the majority reached the conclu-
sion that inasmuch as the amend
ment prepared with the admin
istration's approval, was not in
a position for the senators to
read for themselves it would be
better to not adopt it at that
time, and then if the governor
land his advisors came to
/ the conclusion that legisla-
ton was necessary to maintain
| the States honor, dignity or
it's rights, he could convene the
General Assembly in extra ses.
sion, when the members could
receive compensation for their
services.
The action of the senate in moi
complying with the governors
request was not in the least
antagonistic to him. The fact is,
several of the governors stauncE

opposed to acting upon an I'M

understanding it, but were ir
