Il Pays to Show


said that it pays the breecer of i'm
proved live stock to exhibit som,
of his animals each season at such
fairs or stock shows as he can con-
veniently reach. We do not mean
by this that footing up of his ac-
counts when the show is over will
show him a money balance to the
good. Very probably such will not
be the case. The profit, at least
the only sure profit, comes in anoth-
er way. To new man, certainly,
the winning of prizes, even when
he is fairly successful, is but tenn
porary help as compared with the
lessons learned in the making of
fair comparisons with other exhib-
it's and in the competition with 9th
er exhibitors. Many breeder has
gone from a show without a ribbon
: without having even had "look
in" for a ribbon and yet has been
benefited more by being there than
was the heaviest winner. He has
learned what he had to learn soon-
er or later if success was ever to be
his, that there was something radi-
cally wrong with his "stuff." Later
on it might be his good fortune to
learn equally important lessons in
the value of alertness while in the
show ring, or of the final proper
preparation of exhibition animals
before entering the ring, or of the
proper control of his feelings and
his tongue after leaving the ring,
but the first lesson, viz: that he
must come with the goods" he
absolutely had to learn before going
further. Successes have been
made in which the show ring had
no part, but the breeder had to
learn in some way first what the
standards of his breeds called for,
and showing ones animals is a
pretty sure way to find this out.
Now, lest we be misunderstood
on an important point, we want to
make qualification as regards the
shows at which it pays to exhibit.
Premiums are desirable but the
show with the biggest purses is not
necessarily the one to choose. A
little fair in a section that needs
the kind of animals one breeds, in
a community where there is a SEN
timent in favor of live stock i'm
provement, may beat state fair
for permanent results.
Pride in ones exhibits is neces-
sary, and pains should be taken to
make it better year by year. The
great value of an exhibit as an adj
vertisement should never be forgot
ten. Visitors should be encouraged
to inspect the stock and means
should be taken to increase their
interest in what one has to show
and their information concerningit.
Signs, as good as one can obtain, or
afford, should give ages and weights
of animals and the name of the
breed and the name and address OF
the owner should always be dis
played.
Beginners, especially, should not
try to make a large exhibit. A-few
of ones very best, well handled
will give a new man all he can think
of and probably make a much bet
ter impression than if he added a
few more not so good. His showing
should be progressive. Every year
should see his exhibit improved and
throughout this Improvement he
should not lose sight of the fact
that he is showing his stock to make
his neighbors and other people,
neighbors know he has it and want
to buy breeding stock from him.

Pittsburg The sand beds in the
Aspinwall filtration plant here are
clogged so by microbes, which look
like sections of gaspipe equipped with
legs, that the water cannot get
through the sand, and there is dan
ger of water famine on a microbe
basis. One of the peculiar features
of this newly discovered germ that is
puzzling bacteriologists not only here
but in other cities, is that 1t seeming
ly has no head. Neither has it tail
to wag. 1t is equipped, however,
with many flexible legs and seems to
know what it is doing all the time.
Opinion is expressed here that the
germs originated in the mining re-
gions near Blairsville, thirty miles
from the filtration beds, and immedi-
ately proceeded to swim down stream
to inspect the Pittsburg water system.
They liked the filtration beds so we'll
that they decided to camp out there,
until now there is a layer of multi
legged gaspipe germs on the sand
beds that is so thick that little water
can get through the sand and into the
mains.
The situation has become so bad
the city officials are much worried.
Their worriment is increased by the
fact that no one seems to know
whether it is malignant or harm
less germ The fact remains, how
ever, that the city water Is SO full of
flexible legs that it tickles the throats
of those who drink it. Another dis
quieting feature is that boiling the
water does not kill the germ. 1t
wiggles it's flexible legs little faster
and gets red in the body, but does not
die as a result of the boiling process,

Scotland Neck, N. C.-State Sena-

A. P. Kitchin, brother of Governor
w. w. Kitchin and of Congressman
Claude Kitchin, of the Second North
Carolina District, and Deputy Sheriff
G. W. Dunn, all of Halifax County,
were shot down on the main street of
the town by E. e. Powell, merchant.
Travis and Kitchin were seriously
wounded and Dunn was expected to
die
Powell met the three men as they
were walking along the street togeth-
err He approached Senator Travis
and asked him his reason for not re-
plying to a letter he had written to
him. Representative Kitchin, think
ing that Powell was out of humor,
placed his hand on Powell's shoulder
and tried to placate him. Powell
drew a pistol, shot Kitchin, and in
quick succession fired on Travis and
Dunn. All three fell to the ground.
The shooting occurred in the busi-
ness of the centre of the town and
threw the place into a fever of ex-
element. A number of men rushed
to the aid of the wounded Several
attempted to stop Powell, but he
forced them back at the point of
pistol
After the shooting Powell walked
to his store and got shotgun and
ammunition. Then he went to his
home, saying he would shoot any one
who attempted to arrest him.
The Mayor of the village stationed
guards around the house and notified
the Sheriff, who lived seven miles
from the town, of the shooting. The
Sheriff arrived on the scene and Pow
ell announced that he had decided to
surrender. He did so and was imme-
diately taken to the county jail
The bullet, which struck Kitchin
at close range, entered the face below
the eye. 1t was taken out below the
ear by surgeons. The ball which
wounded Travis knocked out several
teeth and split his tongue Dunn was
hit below the left shoulder blade, the
bullet ranging upward

the shooting occurred was not

the germ is, and have discovered no
way to deal with it. Pending further
enlightenment from one of the many
eminent scientists who are at work
trying to classify the germ, it is
known here as the Aspinwall what
is-it?
1t was by accident the presence of
the new germ in the Pittsburg water
was discovered. Analysis had re-
vealed SO many different sorts of
germs that it was thought the supply
was exhausted Therefore, when the
germ resembling cross between
section of gas pipe and a centipede
was revealed, it could not pass I'M
noticed, particularly when it was dis
covered it was eating other germs,
although it seemingly had no mouth.
DR.. G. S. Drake, superintendent of
the filtration beds, and w. U. G. Ba-
ton, the city chemist, worked ener-
getically to ascertain the identity of
the new germs. They are wholly un-
communicative. Samples of the
germs were taken to e. e. Lampher,
acting superintendent of the Water
Bureau. He put them in bottles and
sent them to Professor Mason, of the
Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute in
Troy, N. Y. Other scientists of ma
tional or international reputation
also received samples.
The reports received were far from
satisfactory. The bacteriologists say
they never had seen anything like it,
and that it is an entirely new germ,
and that they have no idea what it's
disease-producing speciality is. Sam
pies of the germ may be sent to
scientific centres in Europe in the
hope the mystery will be fathomed.

Mohawk Valley Flooded and VIII
Iage in Darkness.
Men From Department. of Public
Works Strive to Break Up
the Ice jam.

Herkimer, N. Y.-The fiood-swept
Mohawk Valley was in darkness at
might except for the twinkle of
oil lamps and candles. The gas sup
ply, which comes from Utica, had
been turned off because of a break IN
the main. Herkimer was particularly
hard hit, because many residents used
gas for fuel and cooking.
Employees of the State Department
Iof Public Works and of the New York
Central Railroad reached here to
break up the ice jam in the Mohawk
with dynamite.
| The people of the village were over
whelmed by the disastrous magnitude
lof the flood, and there was little i'm
mediate prospect of the water reced-
Ding. Practically every street in the
Village was under water and but few
of the houses could be reached by
boats.
The key to the situation was in
The ice pack, which choked the pas
sage of Western Canada Creek under
the bridges of the New York Central
Railroad and the Utica and Mohawk
Valley Railway. Hundreds of pounds
of dynamite were exploded there, but
the jam was still intact. The jam
has forced the creek out of it's channel
and it has spread over the entire viii
lage.
Mayor Grogan ordered the saloons
of the village closed. All of the man.
nfacturing establishments had been
closed for two days when nearly all OF
the retail stores closed.
The city water had been turned
off and with water surrounding them
on all sides the people of the village
had none to drink. The food supply
lis getting short and no relief meas
ures have as yet been taken in this
direction.
Mayor Grogan applied to Governor
Hughes for relief from the State and
received reply that force of men
would be sent from the Public Works
Department.
The current of the water flowing
Through the village was strong and it
undermined many of the buildings.
The property damage, already enor-
mous, was increasing every hour. e.
