Importance Of the Subject Sufficient

Progressive Farmer
II it seems to any reader that an
undue stress has been laid upon any
dairy topics in the last two or three
issues, let him remember the millions
of dollars annually sent away to
other sections for dairy products
which should be made at home, and
also the long-continued depletion of
Southern soils under our present
system of cropping-a depletion
which dairying would help to oprevent
and overcome Besides, the ques-
tions as to the kind of cow to keep
and the best way to keep her, are
subjects of interest to the man with
only one cow as we'll as to the man
with large herd. And while on this
subject, we may say that we are try

tical papers on how best to care for

Torpedo Boat Winslow Meets Dis
aster.

Southport Herald.
The torpedo boat Winslow which
left for Morehead last Saturday after
having spent several days here on
account of disabled machinery met
with disaster which will probably
mean that she will have to be towed
North. Just off Frying Pan shoals
her boilers gave out and the revenue
cutter Seminole which was asconvoying
had to tow her to Morehead. The
machinery was repaired at that place,
but after leaving for Norfolk the tor
pedo boat grounded and became to-
tally disabled, the exact amount of
damage done not being known at
this time.
The Winslow was manned by men,
bers Of the Massachusetts Naval Re-
serves who were getting taste of sea
experience in the cruise from Charles
ton to Boston Most OF these men
returned to Boston by rail.
