GREATEST COW.
HOlstein-FrieSian Owned in the
State of Missouri.

1t remained for the Missouri Col.
lege of Agriculture. at Columbia,
Mo-, to raise and develop the cham
pion dairy COW of all the world. She
is Missouri Chief Josephine, a Hol-
steln-Friesian COW, which produced
in twelve months test 26,825
pounds of milk, an average of 73. 40
pounds of milk daily for 365 days.
Her highest record for one day was
110.2 pounds This record is the
more remarkable because no special
preparation had been made for this
test, and Josephine did her full duty
in the regular dairy herd of the
University, dropping FIVE calves in
five and one-half years.
Not only has Missouri Chief jose
phine's record smashed all previous
worlds records for milk production,
but the per cent. of butter fat in
creased daily. so that this COW I'M
doubtedly produced more butter
during period of twelve months
than any other COW that has ever
been tested in the world.

That William Jennings Bryan is
the worlds greatest platform orator
is an acknowledged fact. While
men may differ with his political
views, they are unanimous in accord
ing to qis eloquence the palm of pre-.
eminence and in placing him in the
circle Of the great masters of human
speech. He possesses every faculty
of the orator and to a superlative
degree. His conceptions are original.
his scope Of vision complete and all
absorbing. his analysis penetrating,
microscopic and logical, his diction
strong and graceful. his utterance
full of the charm of the exquisite
music of the voice. And above all,
he possesses that magnetism which
transports his hearers into the realm
of his discourse and makes them not
only understand but feel his very
thoughts. There is a popular notion
that the age Of oratory is dead. but
that will never be while William Jen
nings Bryan retains his power of
oral utterance.- Albany New York; |
