In thinking how 1 might possibly put
this matter in a new light to some
dairymen, | have thought to talk of
the dairy cows as an investment, and
to take as my text some of the work
done by A. J. Glover, when he had
charge of the field work for our agri-
cultural college and experiment sta
ton.
One dairy of SO cows that he had
supervision of for a year produced an
average of 29S pounds of butter The
average cost of feed was SAL per COW.
In this herd were four cows that pro-
duced an average of 166 pounds of but

feed them $34 per head. When we

prize poem. During his youth he and
his brother Charles published Poems

great poem In Memoriam,' written to
commemorate his most intimate friend
Arthur Henry Hallam, made his fame
secure. He succeeded Wordsworth as
poet laureate of England.
Tennyson chose throughout his life
to keep distinct his personality from
his work, and it is only recently that
the public has been made acquainted
with his personal life. He has no
circle of recognized admirers and he
headed no literary clique. He kept
apart from clubs. public affairs and So

to have been Arthur Hallam, for the
few years that they were together,

Of Tennyson that "as an artist in

phenomenon is almost infallibly cor

failure of Tennyson to achieve his
ambition of writing a great poetical
drama.
The first influences that helped to
form his poetry was that of Byron.

THE EASTERN JUDGEsHIP.

On Monday President Taft sent to
the Senate the nomination of Judge
II. G. Conner, Democrat. for Judge
of the Federal Court OF the Eastern
District of North Carolina. Several
prominent Republicans, with good en-
dorsements, had been considered for
the position. and the final appoint
ment OF Judge Conner came as a
great surprise to the Republicans Of
North Carolina.
Every patriotic citizen has ap-
proved of President Taft's idea for
the elevation of the Judiciary, and
they have also approved his Green's
boro speech, which was called forth
by the gross mismanagement of the
Adams machine. But In the appoint
ment of Judge Conner to the Fedora
bench, the President has misapplied
this principle, because there are Re
publican lawyers in Eastern Caro-
lima who are in every way Judge
Connors equal in both character ant
ability, and in all other qualifications

THE UNEMPLOYED.

Every now and then We see arti-
cles In the newspapers telling of the
great number of unemployed people
in the United States. One great trou
BILE is due to the fact that too many
young persons leave the country and
go to the cities to seek employment.
For the past few years farmers have
paid higher prices for labor than be-
fore in many years, and even then
complained at the scarcity OF labor.
There is plenty of work for all to do
who are really seeking employment.
The Charlotte Observer. commenting
Oh the subject, says:
Every now and then somebody
makes a calculation and tells the pub.

of men out Of work there are in this
