If the true reason could be got at
the difference between the milk pro-
duction Of a COW in different seasons,
barring that due to the process of ma
turing, 1t would quite likely be found
TO be the kind of a pasture she had a
fact not fully realized perhaps at the
time. From the financial standpoint
abundant pasturage, for which one
pays IS or 50 for the season, is a de-
cidedly better proposition than that
which may be had for Sc, but which
does not furnish a sufficient amount of
nutrition above that actually required
to keep the physical organism of the
COW going. Unless the feed in pas
ture is exceptionally heavy ii ought
not TO carry more than two cows for
every three acres. On this account
pasturage that is nominally cheap may
be very expensive.

The experience of a good many farm.
ers in the north part of the corn belt
last year points quite conclusively to
the fact that the rather small and early
maturing variety of native corn is
better agricultural asset than the big
shoe peg kernel variety that gets pinch
ed by the frost at both ends of the
season and sours on the cob after it is
mt in the crib

One section of 200 acres near the
town of Sanford, Fla, has given a
gross return of $25O,OOO, or $3.50 per
acre, when devoted to the growing of
celery. This was in a portion of the
state formerly devoted to orange grow
ing, but the killing freeze of some two
years ago, which wiped out almost
every orange grove in the state, made
the raising of some other crop neces-
sary.

A bulletin issued by the bureau OF
statistics of the federal department of
agriculture gives the estimated losses
of the different kinds of farm animals
for the year ended April l, 1908. as
follows: Horses, per cent loss from dis
ease Ii, number $4,000; cattle, from
exposure and disease 81 per cent,
100000; sheep, from exposure and
disease As per cent, 2,478OOO; swine.
from disease 80 per cent, 2,940000. In
the case of both cattle and sheep the
losses from exposure for the year just
closed are considerably less than for
the preceding year and still smaller in
comparison with the figures given for
the ten year average loss from this
cause.

One of the results of the prevalence
of the rabbit pest in Australia has
been the building of a rabbit proof
fence across the continent, a distance
of 2,026 miles. The cost of this bunny
barricade, which was recently com
pleted, was close to S1,250,000. 1t is
furnished at intervals of five miles
with systems of traps, In which hun
dreds of rabbits are captured and de-
stroyed daily. On the eastern side of
the fence rabbits are said to be teem-
ing and vegetation almost completely
destroyed, while on the west side the
rodents have not as yet put in an APP
pearance.

The highest dam in the world was
lately begun near Cody, Wyo., when
the first stone was laid on solid rock
sixty-f1ve feet below the bed of the
river in the foundation Of the big Sho-
shone river dam, which is being built
under the government reclamation serv-
ice. Exclusive of the foundation, the
dam will be 315 feet high, overlapping
any structure of its kind in the world,
and win form a reservoir for a water
supply which will make possible the
conversion of 100000 acres OF land
which produces now naught but sage
brush, greasewood and cactus into pro-
ductive orchards, gardens and grain
fields.

Earlywine Re-appointed POST
master.

The following Washington special
appeared in Sundays dailies:
SeLator-elect Bradley was turned
down hard by the President today, and
to make matters worse, it looks as If
it were case of snap judgment.
j. l.. Earlywine was appointed
postmaster at Paris. Senator Bradley
had recommended N. A. Moore for the
position, and it was well-known by the
postoffice department officials that he
was firmly opposed to Eariywine's sue
ceeding himself. Not only did the de-
partment recommend to the President
the appointment of Earlywine, but he
die the unusual thing of sending the
name to Ehe Senate over month be-
fore the expiration OF his term of Office.
Ordinarily postmasters are not appoint
ed until few days before their time is
up. and it not infrequently happens
that the appOintmets are made several
days or weeks after.
There is belief in Washington that
this action was taken upon the advice
of Chairman Hitchcock, of the Repub-
lican National Committee, in order to
give an additional month to Early
wines friends in which to make their
fight for confirmation. 1t is reported
that upon Senator Bradley's request
the nomination of postmasters at New
port, Leitchheld and Falmouth are now
held up in the Senate Postoffice Com
mittee, and to this list will probably
be added that of Paris. The anti-brad-
ley people claim that they will be able
TO get their combinations through be-
fore March a, but considering the fact
that the Senate is not on the best of
terms with the executive branch, it
may be that Congress will expire with
Senator Bradley on top as full-fiedg-
ed Senator and able to take excellent
care of his own affairs in the upper
branch of Conrgess.
Mr.. Earlywine has returned from
Washington and is not worrying about
Bradley's opposition. as he says that
Mr.. Bradley will have to defeat friends
of both Roosevelt and Taft to knock
him out.

The Telephone Question.

The question of having only one tele-
phone system in Paris is being agitat-
ed and petition, which was literally
signed, was in circulation Friday
among Main street merchants. 1t is
proposed by the merchants to have a
representative from both local tele-
phone companies present at the meet
ing to be held and submit proposition
as to the best rates obtainable for a
period of years. Both telephone com.
panies have exchanges ar all important
towns in the county and have between
900 and 1000 subscribers in the county.
