The following letter explainsI
itself and is in response to the
editorial in last weeks COURIER
concerning "the negro industrial
school at Dalton:
DALTON, Mo-, June 80, 1909.
EDITOR CHARLTON COURIER,
Keytesville, Mo.
DEAR SIR R:-Your editorial in
the last issue of your paper
seems to have been intended to
give just and wise suggestions
regarding our school, and I, one
OF the schools founders and one
Of the nine charter members Of
the board of trustees, am per-
fectly willing to act upon your
advice. Nearly two years ago,
when our outlay, in time and
money, was but $1,000, sub
mitted this bill in good faith to
certain of these opposing gentle.
men. And now, without know
ing the minds of the other eight
members Of the board of
trustees, further than to know
that they, like me, are only
seeking to do good, peaceably if
possible, l should be perfectly
willing to turn over at once all of
the property we have at our
prices for property and equip
ment with q fair remuneration
for our labor and time lost on
our own lands by and near Dal.
ton. l Iwould then soc.pt certain
other offers and inducements in
one of the three nearby towns
whose white people seem only too
willing to have such a school
established-a sc b o o | whose
sincere purpose is: "Adequate
and practical education which
would 80 train negro youth that

think that the only practical way
to judge these COWS is by looking at
them and the man who does the judg-
ing should be one Of wide experience
with dairy cattle. He should not only
understand COWS as mixers, but he
ought to be acquainted with the diff
ferent kinds Of pure-breds from which
they are graded.
These COWS should be judged by q
score of points, but not the score card
of any one breed. For instance, the
Jersey score card calls for a COW with
"dished face, wide between the eyes
and narrow between the horns" while
these characteristics. are lacking in
some other breeds. The shape Of a
cows head doesn't have anything to
do with her milking capacity in some
peoples opinion, but l think that the

PRIZE WINNER FOR
"BEST DAIRY cow"
Good Qualities That Go Far Toward Making the Most
Profitable Milk Prodrcer-Importance of
Shape.-By j. Grant Morse.

I think that the managers of the
New York state fair are "up against"
a rather hard proposition if they wish
to give premiums to the best grade
COWS. In the first place, if rules for
entering in this class are not of the
strictest kind the premiums are very
apt to go to pure bred cattle mas
%Querading as grades, writes J. Grant
Moran in Rural New Yorker. 1t is a
great deal easier to show a pure-bred
as a grade than it is to show a grade
as a pure-bred, and if there is any
thing in breeding the grades would
stand a poor chance by the side of
pure-breds especially fitted by a pro-
fessional Snowman. At first one
would say that it will be very easy
to pick out the best COWS by simply
milking them and weighing and test
ing the milk, but in my opinion this
would not be a fair way at all, for the
best dairy COWS are of a very high
nervous temperament and for this

Cooking on Sunday.

AS the Irishman says: Sunday
cOokin' should be done on Saturday"
And this is true, for everybody's sake.
Sunday is the day for extra good
meals, to be sure, but in summer they
need not be heavy meals and they
should be of a nature which can be
prepared on Saturday as nearly as
possible.
The potatoes can be boiled the day
before, and creamed for dinner; even
vegetables arc-many ~Einds-good if
warmed over.
FOr the leading meat dish, and for
the dessert, there are man. satisfac-
tory cold dishes. Boiled salmon is eX-
e%ellent; prepare the day before and
serve with m~ayOnnaise.

day.
Make an aspic jelly by using any
rich stock, well seasoned while boil

a box of gelatine. Add lemon juice,
and pour half Of the jelly--while soft
in g pan. Add some eggs-counting
noses as to number-poached in boil
ing water which is rapidly stirred be-
fore the eggs are dropped in. This
will preserve the shape of the egg.
After the first layer of aspic is stiff,
add the eggs and then pour over them
the rest of the jelly which has been
kept warm and liquid.
The layers should be each an inch
thick with the eggs in the middle.
Serve in squares with an egg in the
center OF each. On lettuce leaves,
with a garnish Of pickle this is a de-
licious and a filling dish.
