seciation ~ q purchasing committee.
the work of selecting bulls was car
ned forward with view to buying
only the very best bulls to be had for
. reasonable price. One of the first
bulls purchased was a Guernsey,
whose dam and granddam both have
record of more than $50 pounds of
butter fat per year. The record Of the
dam, to quote exactly, is 559.41 pounds
Of butter fat per year, and as she is a
young cow she will doubtless gain
nuch higher record before another
year has passed. This sire is long Of
body. with very good depth, and has
the dairy temperament we'll developed.
He is good enough in breeding and
form to be credit to one Of the best
herds if placed at its head.
One of the best bulls purchased was
q Holstein, out of q COW that gives
promise OF beating the Minnesota rec

Morning Glory, with a record Of 714.01
pounds of butter fat in one year, and
Robiline I'd, with 4 yearly record Of
S0S.59 pounds of butter fat This bulls
granddam is half sister to Yeksa
Sunbeam, the worlds champion, and
has record of 542.44 pounds of but
ter fat. His next dam was the prize
two-year-old heifer at the worlds fair,
Chicago, in 1898.
In all the association purchased six
Guernsey bulls and one Holstein bull
An option was taken on the seventh
Guernsey bull, whose dam has an off,
cial record of 412O2 pounds of butter
fat at three and one-half years Of age.
Several of the bulls are to be locat-
ed among the patrons Of the Nelson
creamery.
In a very few years the buyers Of
dairy cattle will speak of Douglas
county as the home of good Guernsey
stock, as they are now doing of North

Cabbage Worm Is
Very Destructive.
Paris Green Recommended as
the Best Insecticido for De-
stroying Pest.

1. 4. + + + i. r + + +
/: The cabbage worm is a destructive
pest. but there is NO need Of losing
crop Of cabbages through rs ravages.
In August the worms are especially
aetive, and thousands of little white
butterflies will hatch and again lay
their eggs to develop in = few days
into ravenous worms. Full growth
soon attains, the chrysalis stage again
occurs, and in q week or two another
crop of butterflies develops to con-
tinus procreation and injurs tho crop.
Paris green Is deadly poison to
the worm. Comparatively little Is re-
CURED to kill it and most entomol-
oStsts recommend 1t as the best in
sscticide to use. though eminent au-
thoritiss differ a. to the amount re-
quired. One would use one pound of
Paris green to $50 gallons Of water.
Others would use three pounds to
fifty gallons of water. All would ap-
ply 1t as spray. Professor Wash
burn Of the Minnesota chronological
Division says arsenate of lead Of the
same strength (three pounds to fifty
gallons OF water) can be used with
the advantage over Paris green of it's
sticking longer on the leaves A quart
Of soft soap, or eight gallons of strong
soap suds, should be used in every
fifty gallons of solution to insure it's
spreading well over the leaves.
Al cabbages head from the inside
the various experiment stations agree
with Professor Washburn that the
amount used on single plant is SO
minute that there is absolutely no
danger to human beings resulting
from this use Of these poisons. In
New Jersey an experiment was made
with heavy application Of Paris
green a week before picking tho cab
bages. After removing leaves that
are ordinarily taken of before pre-.
pairing the cabbage for the table a
chemical analysis was made Of the
edible portion. Not trace of poison
was found. Fearing that mistake
may be made by careless handling it
has been advised that for two or
three weeks before picking half an
ounce of pyrethrum to a gallon OF
water, or kerosene emulsion, may be
used with satisfactory results.

rioulture. This course prepares the
young women for responsible posi-
lions, and gives them q sufficiently
broad groundwork for teaching sue
oessfully in high schools, normal
schools or colleges. 1t also renders
them efficient in, things pertaining to
right living and special home duties.
This college course is superior to the
short, or teachers course. because SUI
hcient time 10 devoted to it to enable
graduates to lay . solid foundation
upon which the work Of succeeding
years may be successfully conducted.
The Home Economics course COM
prises domestic science. domestic
economics and domestic art. Domes-
tic science only 10 here considered for
the purpose Of showing how it puts
teachers in possession OF knowledge
that will enable them, in teaching. to
30 apply to home duties, the principles
learned in school, that housework, in
stead Of being drudgery, will be raised
to a plane of science and pleasure.
Physiology, anatomy, bacteriology,
chemistry and physics are all taught
In the schools as sciences, the aim be-
ing to brighten the intellect, cultivate
the mind and broaden the horizon of
thought. Domestic science teaches
the application of these sciences to the
promotion of good health and economy
in doing home work. The laws Of
health are suggested in anatomy and
physiology, and thoroughly grounded
In domestic science lessons on home
and public hygiene. The women OF a
sister state have established a school
Of life in which they give instruction
in parenthood. The young women who
take the domestic science course at
the Minnesota College of Agriculture,
cover this subject, woman physician
being retained for It.
Domestic science offers basic knowl-
edge which renders young women
capable of meeting the obligations and
discharging the duties common to all
homemakers It prepares young wo-
men for the greatest usefulness in the
noble profession of homemaking,
which the great majority of them
choose; and to accomplish this they
must be trained to perform all home
duties easily and effectively. To those
who teach it offers such additional
training as is necessary for the proper
presentation of the subject to others.

record for altitude by flying 2.5S2 me-

The previous altitude record was =

Just when the aviator reached his
highest mark the motor Of the machine

PLATFORM DOES NOT
CONDEMN COUNTY UNIT

Whether through a studied effort to
deceive the public or through ignorance,
II is claimed by delegates who attended
the recent state convention that the plat
form declaration of the progressives is
being persistently misrepresented by I'M
friendly interests. Since the conven-
ton IL has been publicly stated on several
occasions that the platform wipes out
the county unit system, and commits the
Democratic party to the consolidated
popular vote plan.
The progressives claim there is in the
platform nothing-not a word, nor a syl-
liable. nor a thought-to Justify such rep
reservations, or Misrepresentation.
Neither the county unit system nor
the consolidated popular vote plan are
mentioned in the platform. The prorating
rule, however. is condemned. The plat
form Is silent as to primary plans, and
rules and regulations for the next Demo-
cratic primary.
Quoted below are the only references in
the platform to the primary questions:
I'VE urge the Importance OF selecting
by direct vote of the people the nomi-
nees for public office and we condemn
all methods which make IT possible for
such selections to be made by conven-
ton vote. instead OF by vote Of the peo-
pie.
I'VE condemn the prorating rule, re-
Gently promulgated. as cumbersome, DIFF
dcult to understand, and difficult to ap-
ply. and we urge that future primaries
be conducted on the second primary
plan"

on the robbers and they Immediately

An unknown tramp who was stealing
ride on No. was accidentally shot by
the train porter and seriously injured.

II Atlanta is not decorated as never b~-
fore for the meeting of the sovereign
lodge of Odd Fellows it will not be
through any lack of energy or intelligent
work on the part of Fred Heilborn, chair
man of the committee on decorations.
For days Mr.. Hebron has been giving
much Of his time to the work of plan
ming decorations and securing signatures
to an agreement among merchants and
others to make Atlanta one great bouquet
of flags and buntings and bright colors

Mr.. Hebron is one Of the old guard OF
Odd Fellows in Kentucky, where he was

he came to Atlanta and entered business.
He Joined the Paducah lodge in 1885, and
was it's representative at the grand lodge
for six years. He was also a mel ber
of its finance committee for six years.
He is a charter member OF the. Paducah
lodge OF EIks and is an all around secret
order man.
There is no man more enthusiastic over
the coming Of the sovereign lodge to1At-

who got up a list of rs signers to an
agreement to decorate, in less than that
number of minutes. '.

SIXTEEN ARE SAVED
FROM WATERY GRAVE
British Steamer WeStpoint
Picks Up Passengers Who
Were Almost Starved

BOSTON Mass. Sept. 3.-Sixteen sur
vivors OF the men who comprised the
crew of the British steamer West Point,
which took fire and foundered when four
days out from Glasgow to Charleston, s.
c., are aboard the Leyland Line steamer
Devonian, which is now steaming toward
Boston. The other 20 men who were in
the captains boat, are believed to have
been lost. all efforts to find their boat
having been futile.
The Devonian, according to a dispatch
from St. Johns, N. F., tonight, picked up
the men at $50 Thursday morning while
in latitude 47.7O north. They were in a
terrible condition from hunger and ex-
posture. The 1s men saved were in the
mates boat. -..
According to the story which Captain
Trant CLEANED from the rescued men, the
West Point left Glasgow August Is. Four
days later the ship took fire, and after
battling with the flames for nearly a
week. the crew were obliged to abandon
the vessel on August %. when 500 miles
off Cape Race. ~.
The men embarked in two boats. the
captain and 10 men taking the one, and
the mate and Is others embarhng in the
other. Not long afterwards the West
Point sank from sight Then followed
three days of terrible suffering.
For a time the two boats succeeded In
keeping together, but Wednesday night
they became separated and at dawn the
mer in the mates boat found themselves
alone. When the steamer was abandon
ed the men took what food and water
they could, but all were on extremely
short rations.
Just as the men were beginning to give
up hope the Devonian came along and
took the shipwrecked mariners up.
