A tennessee dairyman asks:

=
''Win it pay me to buy pure
bred Jersey bull? / have about Is
COWS milking and want to increase
my herd TO 20. My neighbors all keep
beef or scrub bulls, and say there is
more money ii selling veal calves
than in raising dairy heifers.
We are very glad OF the opportunity
to advise our friend to purchase a
pure-bred sire TO head his herd. AS
we understand it, he intends 10 build
up and maintain a dairy herd and this
cannot be done successfully unless he
raises his own COWS. The day OF
the grade bull is past and no sane
man will keep one on his farm. We
are all looking forward to lettering
our methods and conditions. and to
keep a grade bull is taking step
backward instead OF forward.
The sire is the most important ami
NAL in the herd, because his blood
courses the veins of all the offspring.
while in case of the COW. her blood
flows in the veins of only one calf.
Consequently, in the case Of twenty
COWS, the bull is twenty times as i'm
portant as each COW. or equal to the
entire herd combined.
In buying a bull we usually study
his pedigree and carefully estimate
his value from that standpoint; then
il possible, we study the individual,
and thus endeavor to determine Bheth
er he is of good conformation and de-
sirable type to head herd. The real
value of a bull is determined by his
calves. An aged bull is rated accord
ing to the number Of tested or noted
daughters he has to his credit.
II any of our readers have any rec
ords that show the importance and
benefit Of a pure-bred sire. We would
be pleased to hear from them.

1t is often advisable to supplement
pasture with some kind of grain and
you will find that some corn and cob
meal with a small quantity of cot
tCn-seed meal will be good. As the
pasture runs down increase the latter
feed. Corn brand, If obtainable, is
also very good, but if the pasture is
good only a small quantity of grain
will be needed.

Kinds was received with applause, and
his address was handsomely received.
He said:
Gentlemen of the Convention:
We have met today after the man.

to determine a weghty concern of the
state. the selection of the candidate
who, we have no doubt, will be elected
next September to be Governor for the
next two years. We assemble as the
Republican party of the State of Maine,
the party which in forty campaigns
has gone before the people with it's
principles and it's policies, and has aft

people, written those principles and

Nominated by Republican Bangor June 3d. As the Pa Candidate
Fore Governor Of Maine.

Union-grcat enough man to be willing
to help save the Union in Abraham
Lincon'S way if he could not save it in
his own way-he brought to the anx-
ious throngs who hung on his words
two argumentS-the argument that
the old Union of the fathers must not
be broken up, and the other argument
that no rower out side the power of the
United States should lay its hands on
the great highways of the interstate
commerce. The one argument appealed
to those who loved the Union, the other
argument appealed both to those who
loved tho Union and those who did not.
The Union was saved, prosperity
followed and the interstate commerce
coursed throughout the land unhamp
cred and uncontrolled, save for the
power Of the congress alone. But af-
ter a time there came other powers,
not those of open disunion but covert,
secret powers which presumed to lay
their hands on the highways of the in
tcrstate commerce, and destroy their
freedom by destroying the quality of
their service.
1t gradually dawned upon the con-
scionsness of the American people that
some men were being elevated and en-
rlChed, While others were being de-
pressed end impoverished through dis
examinations in the uses of the rail
roads. The sons of the Puritans and
the Cavaliers alike, as they have
grown in this great land of freedom,
have never looked with favor in spe
cial privileges for any class of men. a
fair chance and no favors has been q
rule administered from father to son,
from government to government, from
the days of the Revolution. In the
disturbance of spirit which came from
the discovery that one of the old liher-
ties of the Constitution was n:cnaced,
| that power outside the Congress and
The President, was laying it's hands on
the interstate commerce of the Nation,
| arouse the political issues Of the last
eight years. You know how those is

But YOU meet today, gentlemen, not

wounds of a tremendous civil conflict.
The legacy of their labors and wisdom
was a surprising prosperity Whlch
brought with it serious problems OF us
own. And as we have faced these
problems, as we have striven to pierce
the curtain of perplexities which al
ways hangs before those who govern,
especially those who govern them
selves by popular majorities, we have
sometimes felt that the problem pre-
sented new and unusual difficulties
beyond the scope of those principles
which we have regarded as fixed. AND
vet little quiet thought shows us
that we have confronted no problem
that NAV not be solved by the time
honored principles of the Constitution.
When the fathers framed the Consti-
tution under the leadership of George
washington and Benjamin Franklin,
one of their first objects was to en-
courage and preserve in freedom and
efficiency that great interchange OF

state commerce.
Realizing that this commerce wa:

THE CONVENTION.

a.coor. Me-, June 30.-Bert M. Fer
n,Dd Of Poland was nominated by ac-
eI,mation for Governor Of Maine by
the Republican State Convention at
s4s o'clock this afternoon, just when
!; had begun to look as if the conven-
finn would outlast the daylight. 1t was
william T. Haines of WaterviIIe, Mr..
FernaId's opponent for the nomination,
who expedited matters, and his action
was appauded on all sioes.
The convention had been sitting since
2 o'clock, more than an hour of it's
time having been consumed in taking
fhe vote on State auditor, which SEEM
ed a needless proceeding in view of the
certainty Of the overwhelming victory
Of Charles P. Hatch of Portland, and
this with the numerous and rather
lengthy nominating speeches, had made
the session rather tedious.
At $40, when the speechmaking had
been concluded and the convention was
preparing to ballot, Mr.. Haines came
upon the platform and in brief
speech moved that voting be dispensed
with and that Mr.. FernaId's nomina-
ton be made unanimous. This won
the instant approval of the great ma
iority and the motion was carried,
amid great enthusiasm. Thus an hours
time was saved. and the convention
was adjourned exactly at o'clock.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION IN
OCALA
THE

The first primary in Ocala passed
of as quietly as a summer zephyr on
a mOOnlit sea. 1t looked like Sunday
in the country. Everybody seemed 10
have made up their minds beforehand
and there was no button-holing by the
candidates.
Under the Florida system, the heel-
er's occupation. like OthelIo's, seems
to have departed.
The saloons were closed as tight as
a brick the evening before and the
man under the influence of Mr.. John
BarleycOrn, or any of his distant kin,
did not make his appearance at the
polls nor on the streets.
Good natured raillery and anecdotes
on the various candidates occupied
the attention of the by-standers, but
never at any time was there any heat
ed arguments or unseemly disputes.
The friends of the respective can
didates talked loudly and enthusiast
tically for their favOrites, but no one
backed their faith in waging the coin
of the realm on the success of their
champions.
1t was such a calm as follows a
storm.
