David H. Borders died yesterday
afternoon at 4 o'clock at the home
of his parents at Milan, Mo, after
"A short illness. Y The news OF his
death came as a shock to his many
friends, and 1t is difficult for them
TO realize that he is no more. Only
a week ago he left Quincy, suffer
ing with bad cold, but otherwise
In excellent condition, and as he
bade his friends goodbye, none
would have thought 1t possible that
Iit was the last time they would see
him alive. Mrs. Borders was visit

ents and Mr. borders went over to
spend week with his folks. Short
ly after his arrival his cold turned
into grip and this developed into
pneumonia, which caused his death
"Mr. Borders was poor in health

Board Of Equalization.

The Board of Equalization has
been in session all this week but

impossible to give even summary
of the work done by the board now,
but later the NEWS will tell of its
work.
In speaking of the work of its
board OF supervisors neighboring
county paper says it went to work
with an axe. In view of the usual
results of a board of supervisors it

PRAISE FOR Mr.. SHANNON.
Professor Eucken Thanks Him for Dis.
course in Mondays Eagle.

A strong letter has been received
by the Rev Frederick #. Shannon,
pastor of Grace M. e. Church, Sew
enth avenue and st. Johns place.
AS will be seen, it comes from Prof.
essor Rudolph Eucken, who occupies
the chair of philosophy in the great
University of Jena, Germany, re-
garded as one of the foremost think
ers of the world. The letter also
shows the wide reach of the Mon
day sermon pages of the Eagle. The
letter was drawn forth through the
reading by Professor Eucken of a
notable sermon by Mr.. Shannon on
"The New Man" The letter follows;
Jena, December 80, 1909.
Rev. Frederick F. Shannon, Pas
tor Grace Methodist Episcopal
Church, Brooklyn, N. Y:
My Worthy Sir:-In recent
number of that great journal, the
Brooklyn Daily Eagle, l see that in
a sermon, deep and rich in thought,
you have spoken highly of my books
on philosophy, the inner spirit of
which your noble discourse fully ex-
presses. Thus are our ideals and
endeavors united. | send you my
hearty thanks for this sermon, and
desire to tell you what pleasure |
take in your feeling toward me and
my teachings. Accept the expression
of my sincere and grateful thanks.
Very truly yours,
R. EUCKEN.
Brooklyn Eagle.
&@S
The foregoing brought out the
following characteristic letter:
Brooklyn, Jan. 13, 1910.
My dear DR.. Wroten:
When any thing like the enclosed
blows my way, / do not forget the
pit whence was digged. Nor do |
forget one of the chief dlggers-
yourself. If the great German knew
of the factors-such as teachers,
early friends, etc.,-which made the
sermon to which he refers possible,
think he would have on hand rich
material for the founding of new
and greater system of philosophy
than that Of which he is now the
acknowledged greatest living mas
ter. As Professor Eucken's letter
is of such an unusual character, |
consented to let DIR. st. Clair Nc
Kelway, editor of the Eagle" pub
lish 1t.
with kindest regards to Mrs.
Wroten, and all the dear ones, ]
am, Faithfully yours,
FREDERICK +. SHANNON.

The suit filed by w. NJ. Justice,
late Democratic candidate for Coun-
~ Judge. asking for recount of

vember election. was taken up and
argued before Judge Hannah on
Wednesday. There was but one
question. so far, to be decided, the
question whether the recount should

Al the night session OF this court
this question was argued at con-
siderable length. and after hearing
both sides Judge Hannah ordered
the vote for County Judge to be

done had not been decided when
this paper went TO press. The con-
testants will agree upon man rep

Counting the butter fat at twenty
three cents per pound and taking out
the exact cost of feed in each case, the
one COW brought in a profit of $34.59.
while the other lacked $5.62 of pay
ing for her board at market prices
OF feed each year.
This comparison, exact and COM
plete, for three years, and including
the record of both milk and feed,
means a great deal more than a single
years comparison or one in which it
is necessary to introduce an estimate.
1t would be gratifying, indeed. If it
could be truthfully said that these
two records are extreme and eXcep-
tional, and therefore do not stand for
any general condition of the dairy
business. But the very opposite is
true.

The Shoulders OF the Horse.

Coming now to what is meant by
"harneSSy" shoulders in saddler. the
term is more or less erroneous. for
the reason that the position of the
shoulders should be oblique in har-
ness as we'll as in saddle horses.
Those who use the term mean to con-
Vey the idea that the shoulders are
more or less upright and the withers
more or less thick and meaty. This
formation, as already detailed, pre-
supposes a short neck and a stilted
way OF going, both Of which are very
bad faults in a saddler. A certain
amount OF jerk-and-slam action may
so with straight shoulders, but all
the most accurate actors in the high
stepping classes have possessed slop-
ing shoulders: indeed, a very decided
slope is necessary to enable any horse

whlch may be described as that the
fore foot should apparently be follow.
ing the circumference OF rolling
wheel. Forest King was the greatest
actor we have ever had in this coun-
Try. Anyone who remembers the set
OF his shoulders will grasp the point
sought to be made instantly, when il
Is stated that the truest and best ac-
tlon Is never associated with straight
shoulders. At that. however. much
straighter shoulders will do for
ordinary harness uses than for the
saddle. for in the leather they have
not TO sustain the superimposed
weight OF the rider. Hence the apDIi.
cation--or rather misapplication-of
the term 'harnessy" in describin.
or discussing the shoulders OF saddle
horses.-Breeders' Gazette.

Harvesting Alfalfn.

The first point to accentuate as we
approach the subject of harvesting is
the pre-eminent value of the leaves.
These contain from seventy-five to
eighty per cent. Of the protein of the
whole plant, that valuable compound
that goes to produce milk and meat.
IL has been estimated that a ton of
properly cured alfalfa leaves is equal
in protein to $500 pounds OF wheat
bran; and when it is also estimated
by careful observers that the loss OF
leaves in harvesting, even under
favoring circumstances, ranges from
hfteen to thirty or more per cent, il
is readily seen that the har .esting i.
an important part in alfalfa ay-mak

Hard Mixers.

DR.. David Roberts. the Wisconsin
State Veterinarian, writes us on this
subject:
A COW or heifer with a nice, large.
we'll de| eivprd udder with four good
size teatS placed s4Carely upon same,
seems like n source of pleasure. pro-
viding that they are easy mixers. but
the same sort of COW or heifer being
termed as hard milker is as 4 rule a
source of annoyance, especially to
those who do the milking.
Owing to the fact that a COW or
heifer is nice. easy milker. they are
usually milked out clean at each milk
ing. In this way they are enabled to
keep up their regular flow of milk,
while on the other hand if they be
hard mixers the milker becomes dis
couraged and impatient. and fails to
draw out the natural quantity. The
COW or heifer will then soon show the
effects of this by drying up on her
milk. In this way many a valuable
COW has become practically worthless
as a milk producer.
Hard milking in cows or heifers
can be positively overcome in a short
period of time and in very econom-
ical way, not by the use of the milk
ing tube, but by the use of the teat
plug.
The teat should be washed with an
antiseptic solution, the teat pIuc
should be dipped in a like solution,
then in little ointment and passed
into the point of the teat, and being
self-retaining, should be permitted ia
remain in the teat from one milking
to another. In this manner hard
milking can be made thing OF the
past.

Scientific Forestry

A Consular report comes from Ger
many which shows that scientific for
estry is a practical and money-making
proposition. II is stated that the Ger
man Empire has nearly 35,OOO.OOO
acres OF forests, of which forty per
cent. belongs to the State German
forestry methods have resulted in
raising the average yield of wood per
acre from twenty-five cubic feet in
1850. to siXty-tive cubic feet in 1904.
During the same period it has trebled
the proportion of the sawed timber
secured from the average cut. In
ffty-four years it increased the money
returned from an average acre of
forssts sevenfold, yet to-day, the Ger
man forests are in better condition
than ever before.-Farmers Home
