Wo Dairy Herds.

In COW census taken a short time ago in Tompkins county, N. Y., 103 dairy herds were tested with view to ascertaining the performance of each COW from the standpoint of milk and butter fat production. The herds test ed were average herds, and the findings probably apply to dairy herds in any other section of the country The most profitable herd in the lot compris- ed nine mixed cows, which during the year produced an average of 6,817 pounds of milk, which sold for S92. .02, while calves and other receipts came to $950. The feed for the year per COW cost S46. 30, leaving net profit of $55. .22 per COW. The poorest herd in the lot comprised seven head of grade Durhams and grade Jerseys, which produced the paltry amount of 1,621 pounds of milk per annum. This brought SHE'S, while the $4 28 from calves and other sources brought the total revenue up to $21.S6. The bill of fare for these cows cost $44. 39, making net loss per COW of $22. ii for the year. The other 101 herds ranged be- tween these two extremes-good, bad ond indifferent. The demonstration proves quite conclusively that, while the man and the care have a great deal to do with gross and net returns in the dairy business, after all success or failure depends chiefly upon the cow the millS-makingmachine. In the two instances cited it is interesting to know that the COWS, which scored a net loss of $22. A per head, cons stunned a ration which cost but S1. .91 per head less than those which returned a net profit of $55. P, yet gave less than fourth as much milk per head Quite likely the fellow, who owned this bunch of bovines, was not particularly enthusi- astic over the situation, and the care he gave the animals may not have been the best. But he fed them well, what ever else may be said. The census as taken shows plainly the urgency of keeping tab on the individuals in the dairy herd, both as regards milk yield and quality, for only in this way can fellow tell with any accuracy whether he is operating winning or losing business.

A POLITICAL
 EARTHQUAKE.
ALL ARKANSAS IS SHAKEN BY A SENSATION SPRUNG BY REP
 3ESENTATiVE LITTLE.
AlIedges Wholesale Corruption in the Senate Naming Measures and
 Sums Used to Defeat Them.

Little Rock, May 3.-A political earthquake which has shaken the en- tire state originated in the house today when Representative Little in a speech charged that the Liquor Dealers Asso- citation had spent money in purchasing control of the Senate
 He further said that the same cor rupt interests had defeated the Hurst Bradham bill, at cost of $1, 300 each for enough to prevent passage.
 Seventeen hundred dollars was put up on the game warden bill, and $1, 500 to defeat the Going Bevee bill.
 Prosecuting Attorney Robert L. Rogers in on the job, and surprises may be expected.
 The speech of Representative Little was most scathing denunciation of the affairs of the state.
 It is too early at this time to antici- pate the result of Mr. Littles accusa- tions.

WANT AN ELECTRIC
 LIGHT FRANCHISE
PARTY OF SPRINGFIELD CAPITAL ISIS VISIT GREEN FOREST
 FOR THAT PURPOSE.
Giant Scheme to Harness the Waters of Kings River to Manufacture
 Light and Power.

Green Forest was visited on Thurs day of last week by party of capital ists of Springfield, Mo-, who are inter- ested in securing an electric light fran chise. They had no definite proposi- tion to offer but came merely to ascer- tain the feelings of the people and the council upon the subject of electric lights, with the ultimate object of se- curing franchise.
 The general plans of the company are outlined in the following item from last Fridays Eureka Springs Times Echo:
 'Ellis D. Munger of Springfield, and Joe Neff of Berryville, closed a deal yesterday for twenty acres of Arthur Luckey's farm at Grand View.
 fThis simple announcement appar- ently differs little from numerous other land deals reported from time to time, but behind it is a purpose making the deal one of great moment.
 'tOn these twenty acres of land is a waterfall of eight feet in distance of loo yards, which with the volume of water there gives 2,000 horse power, and this power is to be utilized by the Springfield and Joplin Electric Company for running their cars. Besides, there will still be power for all the needs of Eureka Springs and Berryville, and since waterpower is the cheapest and most reliable power known, this may ultimately be adopted by the Eureka Springs Electric and Traction Company, which would enable the local men to give lower rates than will be possible at anything like the present cost of generating electricity.
 "G. U. Matthews and c. M. Barnes bought this property several years ago, with a view to use this wonderful water power and MT. Matthews turned over to the new purchasers all the plans and specifications, together with estimates of cost and bids for the work of tunneling, etc., which they had obtained at considerable expense at the time they expected to build a light plant here.
 "A tunnel of only 180 feet is neces- sary. but the cost will be S10, GOO.
 "Mr. Luckey still holds his farm inn provements, this little strip of rough land not even being fenced. But in selling it, he has sold a fortune for trifie; however, it was no use to him without the necessary capital and dis position to develop the power obtain able ,
