the good things of life, deliver us
from the hell box and fill every
delinquent subscribers heart
with dollors worth of remorse;
guard over the Office devil and
deliver him from wiping his
hands on the Office towel; give us
many periods of rest; keep our
forms well locked up and our
stomachs justified to run up
against Mondays meal. Deliver
us from getting out of sorts, and
give us the patients of Job, who
wasn't job printer; help us to
stick to our business, it may
be picking up, and no case be
found waiting. Keep our circul-
alton up to hearty standard and
one that will need no padding.
Give us our daily bread, but de-
liver us from pi, at any price; de-
liver us from throwing mud at
the opposing candidates, but help
us to pass them. And when our
forms are locked up for the here
after, let them be put to press in
such manner as to leave clean
and lasting impression upon
mankind. Amen."-F n Y

AS Probate Judge of the county
Judge Randolph has issued 90 mar
riage licenses during 1909 and out
of that number he has performed the
legal ceremony for 80 couples, or
exactly one half of those who have
applied for licenser. The report
shows careful and honest conduct
of the business of the offices and a
popularity with the young folks and
as the lady In the case always names

riage ceremony seems to indicate
that the Judge is popular with the

Mr.. SIS. Smith, who owns quar-

there is only IA inches of snow
everywhere and everybody enjoying
good health. There is plenty of
work to do but so much snow that
we can't get away from the house to
do any thing. Mr., Smith seems to
want frequent news from Meade for

News sent him and states that he is
coming back in the spring.
There is one office in the county
which is now self sustaining and this
year paid small amount in to the
county treasure over and above its
running expenses. The Probate
Judge receives fees for all of his
work. which if they do not amount
to $500. 90 the deficiency is made
up by the county. He is allowed
Sl25. 90 per quarter and up to thi:
year the Office has never paid tha
amount in the aggregate for one year
In 1909 the first quarter, ending OF
March 3Ist, Judpe Randolph report
ed fees to the amount of $08.2c anc
for that ending Jnne goth, sos. IS
For the quarter ending Septembe
goth, he reported SI34. 90 and TO
that ending December 3Ist he re-
ported $2o3.7I. Counting all re,
ceipts for the year and all expendi

amounted to something over $77.oC
more than the expenditures which
he paid into the county treasury.

Ross Mccormick, of the law firm
of Blood and Mccormick and at
torney Richard E. Bird of the same
city are in Meade for the purpose of
taking dispositions in a case now
pending in the higher courts. AS a
matter of course they represent op-
posite sides of thr controversy.
The case is entitled Davis vs. Nation
State auditor, and is a mandamus
case to compel Nation as state audi
tor to deliver to certain parties who
proved up school land in the early
days their patents. Many persons
who secured certificates of purchase
to state lands in those days got cold
feet and defaulted on their pay
ments. Now that the land is valu-
able because of the courage apd labor
of those who stood by the county
wish to be reinstated in their poss-
ession. The particular tracts in
controversy in this case is the land
which has later been acquired and
made valuable by Mr.. Walters and
N. B. Potter. Mr.. Mccormick will
be remembered better by our people
as Prof. Mccormick of the city
schools some yearf ago.

Own Your Own Mind.

you are not saving up anything.
The advantages of owning your own
mind will be apparent at a moments

In the first place, you come to take a
personal interest. which you do not
feel when 1t Is owned by some one
else. Then again the natural increase
in value rebounds to your own profit.
You have no one to dictate to you MS

Eresheninq Cows.

On a successful dairy farm, where
large number of COWS are kept and
milked. special attention Is given to
the freshening and drying COWS. Three
weeks before COW freshens. II this
occurs during the winter feeding pc
riod, the owner begins feeding about
two pounds of wheat bran a day. No
shorts are fed until after calving. This
feed IS gradually increased until at
calving time the cow is receiving
about four pounds Of bran daily.
After freshening the cows grain ra-
tion is gradually increased by adding
shorts until the amount fed reaches
a maximum Of eight pounds for the
best cows In the herd. In the case OF
the smallest mixers shorts are grad
ually substituted for half the bran
after the COW freshens. so that these
cows get only four pounds of bran and
shorts as maximum grain feed. The
average COW in the herd gets about
six pounds Of bran and shorts when in
full flow of milk in the winter.
An effort Is made to have each COW
dry from six to eight weeks each year.
The cows are MIXED regularly twice
day up to week Of the time they
are to be turned dry. They are then
MIXED once a day for three or four
days. small quantity of milk being
left in the udder each time. After this
they are turned out To pasture and are
not MIXED again until the next period
of lactation begins-Journal OF Agri-
