DAIRY IMPROVEMENT.

1t is impossible to build up and
maintain dairy herd except through
discriminating selection, and this can
only be attained where careful rec.
ords are kept and a high standard
Of excellence sought.
The keeping Of records need not
be a costly undertaking. Weighing
the milk twice week, testing the
herd by means of the Babcock test,
and adjusting the ration according to
the amount of milk given by the COW,
will insure the owners obtaining larg.
er returns, effecting a great saw
ing in the cost of foodstuffs, and
increasing the average productive
capacity of his herd through the
elimination of Improbable animals.
Records enable the dairyman to de.
termine the kind and amount of food
required for herd, says Farm and
Home, and he can thus plan out his
crop rotations to the best advantage
and determine what is the best form
of concentrates to purchase for bal
ancing up his rations.

Her Own Doctor.

A Washington woman recently hired
a negress. Going to the kitchen one
day she was amazed to find the
negress sitting on the floor, with her
hair standing out from her head like
a black nimbus. The girl was pulling
one curly lock and then another liz
such way as to suggest that she had
suddenly lost her reason.
What on earth are you doing,
Mary?' gasped the lady of the house.
"Nawthin', ma'am, only I has got
sore throat an was jest tryin' to find
de lock dat would pull nah palate up

snnhlstrx of the MIsanthrope.

Misanthropy arises from man
trusting another without having a sut-
fcient knowledge of his character,
and. thinking him to be truthful, sin
cere and honorable, finds little after
ward that he is wicked, faithless; and
then he meets with another of the
same character When a man expert
ences this often, and, more particu
larry. from those whom he considered
his cost dear and best friends-at
last, having frequently made a slip,
he ha.es the whole world, and thinks
that there is nothing sound at all in
any of them.-Plato.

Political Rights of Spanish Women

Spanish women now enjoy greater
political rights than those of the United
States. The committee of the Spanish
chamber has accepted an amendment
to the municipal administration bill.

the village mayors and rural council
ors. 1t is limited to women who are
heads OF families. But 1t is an excel
lent entering wedge; and 1t gives the
women of Spain larger share of suf
frage than women yet possess in al of
the As states of the union. Even the
countries that have been regarded as
the most conservative are beginning
to extend suffrage to women.

"WHY AMEND THE SHERMAN
ACT?s

A writer In the current issue of
American Industries asks the ques-
ton, why amend the Sherman
act?". and at considerable length de-
plores the possibility of such thing.
He says. If we tinker unsuccessfully
with the Sherman act, we destroy IL
and its present power CT regulation
disappears from the domain Of inter-
state commerce, to be succeeded. al
ter much effort, with a possible sub
stitute, If any at all, of which we
cannot even now conjecture In 9TH
er words. II we have something that
is not satisfactory we must never
attempt to improve it for fear OF
making Il worse than IL is. That is
nice. progressive way of looking at
the situation.
There are various reasons for
amending the Sherman act, and the
writer just quoted nc doubt is more
familiar with them than anyone not
directly concerned in the affair OF
big corporations can be expected to
be. The very fact that an article
appearing in American Industries is
designed to put a damper upon the
proposal 10 amend the Sherman act
is sufficient to arouse a suspicion that
the big corporations in need of reg
ulation by law are satisfied with the
existing conditions.
There are various ways OF inter
preting the phrase tinker unsuccess-

THE STATE COMMITTEES GOOD
JUDGMENT.

In choosing a successor TO the late
David O. Eggleston ms the party
nominee for secretary of the conf
monwealth. the State Democratic
committee exercised good judgment
and handled difficult situation in
the best manner possible. Col. b.
o. James of Goochland county and
Richmond Is man who should be
able to poll the full strength OF the
party. and II proper care Is taken IN
cautioning the voters of every pre-
cinct In the State to scratch the
names of Eggleston and Locke and
write the name Of Col James on the
ticket, there will he no doubt about
the election OF the Democratic nomi-
nee.
The nomination OF Col. james by
the State committee TO fill the va
cancy caused by the untimely death
of Mr.. Eggleston is in accordance
with the primary plan. authorized by
the last convention. Therefore, the
new nominee is entitled to the al
legisnce of loyal Democrats. though
there is no pledge to bind those who
do not care to support him because
of his qualifications or because he Is
the nominee of the Democratic par
ty.
Col. James has the confidence OF
all who know him. The Richmond
Dispatch yesterday had this to
say of him:
Colonel B. o. James, the appoint
cd nominee for secretary of the COM
monwealth, viii be acceptable to the
entire Democratic party. Reckonec
by his vote in the Democratic pri'
mary, he is Tucker man. But fol
period of many years Colonel James
has not been identified with politics
in any way whatsoever. For nearly
decade he has uninterruptedly prac
ticed his profession with no thought
Of office-seeking or holding. No maz
could have been named who is mor'
remote from the type Of machine
politician. At the same time Colone
James is well and favorably known
TO the Democrats OF Virginia Eigh
years ago he canvassed the State TO
this same position. made a splendiI
run and was defeated. by the late MI
Eggicstcn. by the narrow margin o
two votes. He is a man of higl
character. OF excellent abilities. an
of unusual personal popularity"
