Double Header HOLIDAYS,

I'm always glad when the month of
May comes around remarked a clerk
in Broad street office building, ''for
then | know that a holiday will soon be
due me. You see, it's rather long
time between Washington's birthday and
Memorial day without having a whole
day off, and a fellow is mighty glad TO
see May 30 in sight. This year I'm par
ticularly glad, for May 80, falling on
Sunday, will be celebrated on the fol
lowing day, and that means a half-holi-
day on Saturday and all of Sunday and
Monday. That's the right kind of a
holiday. Why, it's a miniature vaca-
ton. Just think of going away from the
office on Saturday noon and not coming
in again until Tuesday morning. I'm 60
ing to take advantage of it to slide
away for short vacation to the shore.
and there are thousands of others who
will do the same. And then the beau
ty of it is that when the next holiday
comes along-the Fourth of July-it's the
same kind of a vacation, for the Fourth
falls on Sunday, just as Memorial day
does. It's a regular double-header in
holidays, and it will make you rather
anxious for your regular summer vaca-
ton. There's only one drawback to
these good-sized holidays, and that is
that a fellow might be too lavish in his
expenditures on his two short vacations,
and may have to economic when the
long one comes along. hiladelphia

Middlenlen.

Retailers are necessary according to
present methods of doing business and
until farmers organize a selling force
of their own middlemen will continue
to toll the farmers grist as thorough
ly as the traffic will bear. Peaches
may rot on the ground in Missouri
while selling for cents each in Chi
cago, but the farmer in Missouri is
helpless because he has no represen-
tative in the market center. The time
will come when farmers will have an
agent at each central point to handle
farm products and distribute them
either to the consumer or retail gro
GER. When that time comes farmers
will come nearer getting what they
work for. 1t is just as necessary to
sell right as to farm right-Agricul.

Passing OF Horned Cattle.

Horned cattle and horned sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed in the corn belt
are hornless. Breeds of this kind are
growing in popularity. In the noun
famous country and on the plains
wild cattle needed long horns for the
protection of themselves and their
young. Now, however, with the plains
thickly settled and with few wild ami
mails the cattle do not need horns
Among the hornless breeds are the
Galloway, Angus, Red Poll and Polled
Shorthorns Polled Jersey and Polled
Hereford are also coming into favor
By the application of caustic potash
the growth of the horns is prevented

PLANK BLOWN THROUGH TREE.
Remarkable Testimony to the Force OF
the Recent Georgia Tornado.

Each day brings to light some new

plank on the property of s. Nj. Roberts.

Joined as if done by an expert carpen-

Although the tree was large one the
plank was picked up and driven through
the center as neatly as if shot from Il
gun. Not only was the plank shot
through the tree, but it went through
without tearing the tree.
The plank was picked up in the yard
Of Mr.. Roberts sawmil and other
planks in the pile were not molested by
the wind SO singular does Mr. Rob
erts consider this action of the tornado
that he has posted Il notice telling how
the plank was driven through the big
pine and ordering that it shall not be
cut down.-Atlanta Georgian.

Cows Giving Down Milk,


John Burrows, the wel-known scien.
fist, in regard to cows giving down
their milk says: Many persons think
that giving down or holding up the
milk by the COW is a voluntary act
In fact, they fancy the udder as a
vessel filled with milk, and that the
COW releases or withholds 1t Just as
she chooses. But the udder is a
mandatory; it Is filled with blood
from which the milk is manufactured
while you milk. This process is con.
trolled by the cows nervous system.
When she is excited or in any way
disturbed, as by strangers or by TAX
ing away her calf or any other cause,
the process is arrested and the milk
will not flow. The nervous energy
goes elsewhere. The whole process is
as involuntary as is digestion in man
and is disturbed or arrested in about
the same way.
