STRANGE INDEED.

1t seems rather remarkable that the
Democratic committee of the First
Congressional district should go into the
Second district to hold its meetings.
Newport News being the largest city
OF the First district, it would be the
natural thing to have the committee
meetings here. At least they should
be held some where in the district.
The explanation that Norfolk is more
accessible to the homes of some of the

As THIS paper has said over

reason why the farmers of the
Rappahannock Valley should not
raise every pound of hay, busheI
OF corn and dollars worth of
produce OF every kind used by it's
people. They have the land, the
climate, the facilities, and only
need the inclination. The idea
that the steamers navigating the

stead of taking it away, is anv-
thing but a compliment to our

ton is one that should be rem

LONE STAR DIARIES
Producers Are Consumers of
Millions of Gallons of Milk.
Creameries Of Texas Furnish But
Small Portion of Immense Amount
of Butter Used-BuIk of Product
Goes to Four Big Cities.

According to "The Dairy Industry of
Texas bulletin just issued by the
department of agriculture, and writ
ten by Prof. Charles H. Alvord, profess
sor of agriculture at the Agricultural
and Mechanical college, Texas has
produced 51,342,69S gallons of milk
according to latest statistics obtain
able), and sold only 8,091,205 gallons
of this amount. This would indicate
that the excess of 243,OO0,000 gallons
of milk was consumed by the pro-
ducers.
Even the man living in the city kept
his family COW, says Prof. Alvord, and
produced his own dairy products.
Prof. Alvord says:
I'm the year 1905-06 the department
of agriculture of the United States re-
ports the following number of pounds
of condensed milk used in the follow
ing cities: Austin, $4,000 pounds;
Dallas, 769,4S0 pounds; Fort Worth,
566,4O0 pounds; Houston, 1921, 1876
pounds; Galveston, 100000 pounds;
San Antonio, 100000 pounds; Waco,
215,216 pounds, or a total for one
year of 5,6Ss,442 pounds.
This amount of condensed milk
will represent approximately an equiv
alent of 100000 gallons, or almost
one-fourth the amount of sweet milk
which was reported sold in the entire
state by the census of 1900. From
the same report of the department
of agriculture, we find that the daily
amount of milk sold in Dallas in
19O5-O6 was 1000 gallons; Fort Worth,
600 gallons; Galveston, 1,120 gallons;
Waco, 1000 gallons, or total of
3,1S2,800 gallons for these four cities
during the year.
1.-THE same cities during the same
length of time consumed approximate
ly 100000 pounds of condensed milk,
which would represent an equivalent
of 100000 gallons of sweet milk, or
an equivalent of four-tenths of the
amount of sweet milk they pur-
chased"
Prof. Alvord also finds that practi-
cally the same conditions obtain as to
butter, that the Texas creameries have
produced only a small proportion of
the butter consumed in the state. The
cities mentioned consumed in 1905-06
2,812,S70 pounds of butter or con-
siderably greater amount than was
produced by all of the Texas cream
cries.

The Lost Cud.

Il WISH" said an experienced veteri-
nary, that had all the cloth which
has been wasted in manufacturing
cuds to replace those lost This is
one of the dregs of superstition which
still clings in some places. The cud
is returned to the mouth after enter
ing the first stomach. and it's loss is
generally an indication of indigestion.
This is most prevalent in winter,
when cows are heavily grained.
Should it appear in summer when
they are on pasture, but receiving
some grain, it is well to remove the
latter ration for few days. After a
day or two give one pound of epson
salts and two ounces ground ginger
root mixed in two quarts Of warm
water. After she resumes her cud,
feed for a time on green grass and
good hay, gradually working back to
the grain ration.

vary in style and in size from the
small close-fitting oriental turban to
the largest of picture hats. The sum-
mer girl will delight in the wide
brims and flowing lines with masses
of blossoms, and she will bring down
blessings and other things upon her
pretty head when she takes up more
space than really belongs to her. But
whoever saw too many flowers? The
summer girl is sure to be forgiven, no
matter to what extremes she goes
and she knows it.
These large shapes are not pretty
when made in any other than the
lightest weight straws or in hair
braids. Hemp has come to be most
popular, and hair-braid hats are al
ways good style and classy"
The smaller hats are nearly all
made of braids. These are so light in
weight that they are sewed into
plaques or squares and draped as
easily as if they were cloth. For
the turban shapes the trimming is
placed in understanding effects and
there are numbers of grass and flower
sprays made up for the purpose OF
trimming them.

GENERAL FARM NOTES.

Keep the young pigs growing thrift
lily
Don't try to make a COW give down
her milk with shovel or club.
In the dairy large yields per animal
means less cost in making them.
lrregularity in milking does more
harm than is generally realized
Butter is bitter because of impure
foods or from holding the cream too
long.
There is money In poultry. You
know it. Stop playing with poultry
and make it a business.
The ripening of cream is known by
its turning slightly acid without be-
coming bitter or in any way bad.
A poor COW will give poor milk,
even with the richest Feed, while a
good cow will give rich milk on poor
feed.
If growing pigs have all the Stops
they can consume they will make a
better growth than if given a good
range and fed on corn.
Pigs will make a better growth on
less feed if allowed the run of a good
clover pasture than with any other
plan of feeding during the summer.

BY JULIA BOTTOMLEY.

wv HEN the thermometer marks
w zero weather in early February,
" or earlier, the great importing
millinery houses are humming
with business. They are filled with
an army of women choosing from be-
wildering varieties of the flowers and
feathers and laces, the airy fabrics
and lustrous ribbons and all the other
decorative materials with which they
intend to clothe the heads of their
patrons.
These enterprising women have
found world of blossoms this season,
wherein all the flowers of the garden
and those of the field have been faith
fully copied in muslin or silk or tulle.
No other trimming is shown in such
profusion and hats are really flower
laden. The blossoms are arranged in
masses over the crowns, in wreaths
and bandeau and in smart standing
aigrette effects. Often they are light
ly swathed in tulle which covers them
in swirls or soft puffs. This redeems
the masses of flowers from too
heavy appearance.
The shapes on which such pro-
