Special to The Herald.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. 1.-THE
reelection of Gov Hooper over for.
mer Governor McMillin by over $500
votes is certaintay. It may go a
thousand or SO over that figure.
These figures are based on reports
complete or practically complete from
ninety-three of the ninety-six coun.
ties. The three missing counties are
Dyer, Lewis and Monroe. These
counties in 1910 gave Taylor 219 plu-
rality. Hooper's net majority in the
ninety-three counties stands now
9,197. The final returns may reduce
the figures somewhat but the result
will not be materially affected.
In the next legislature as indicat-
ed today there will be in the senate
six republicans and eleven independ-
ents, three regular democrats who
are opposed to Pattersons senatorial
election, three democrats from Shell
by who are counted against Patter-
son. Against Patterson, 90; regular
democrats, 10.
In the house the republicans nave
rs, the independents II, and there
are four anti-Patterson regular demo-
Gratis, eight Shelby county, total 55
and AZ regular democrats, one pro-
gressive and one county not definite
ly reported, Blount., G. w. Emert,
republican, probably won there
The total vote against Patterson in
the joint convention will be r. In
the race for comptroller six republi-
can senators, II Independents, three
Shelby county senators, 26 reDubli-
can representatives, II independent
representatives and eigth Shelby
countians at least are against the re-
election of Dibrell, total of II,
majority.
On the liquor question it is believ-
ed that there will be at least 10 votes
in the senate against the repeal of
the law the number including the
six republicans, II independents and
the two anti-Patterson men, Walsh
and Elkins. In the house the rsgu-
lar democrats apparently have con-
troll on paper, but it is claimed that
there are a number of them who are
pledged against the repeal of the liq-
uor laws.

In the back parlor the color scheme

SOCIETY,".
Zion Book Club Entertained.

The Zion Book Club is always en-
tertained in most charming manner
by its members, but never more elab-
orately than when Mrs. John F. Ste
phenson threw open her hospitable
home to them Friday, high noon, to
compliment her house guest, Mrs.
Grace House of Gallatin.
The magnificent lawn in its gor-
geous autumn coloring was a beau
tiful background or setting for the
fine old homestead. Autumn trees
predominated throughout the recep-
ton rooms, intermingled, with chrys-
anthemums and grateful ferns, with
hanging baskets in every nook end
corner. Rich old mahogany furni-
ture everywhere.
Upon the twelve card tables the
elegant lunch was first served, and
here the artistic touches in culinary
was most exquisitely displayed.
The surprise plate of fruit, disclos-
ing such delicious condiments that
were most delectable to the palate,
and feast to the eye, especially the
crab apple of cheese. with its rosy
blush called forth admiration from
each guest.
A silver platter bearing the pump
kin, 1.-THE Charlotte Russo and cake in
disguise" with the black cats en-
blematical of Halloween, was the
GROWING surprise of all to the appre-
ciative ladies-not forgetting the cute
little cakes in shape Of ears of corn.
Causing all to pronounce it the
most novel and beautifully planned
luncheon they ever attended.

Governor Wilson, of New jersey,
said during his campaign two years
ago that he was not only a candidate
for Governor. hut if elected he would
consider himself elected leader of the
Democratic party.
He has been leader not afraid to
lead.
Today he speaks in unmistakabIe
terms concerning New Jersey In the
next Senate, and warns the Democrats
against selecting James Smith, who in
the Senate under Cleveland acted not
for the Democratic party but for the
protected interests. The record Stands
to confront James Smith, and his sue
cess would be- party disaster.
That, in substance. is what Cover
nor Wilson says. The democratic
party is to he congratulated in having
as leader civil soldier, who is not

Treatment For csked Udder

When a cow has a badly caked udder
she should be fed Il cooling ration of
roots, bran mash and good hay. A Ia
blespoonful of saEpeter will also be
beneficial. She should he watered at
least twice day. and il the "cake"
feels warm battle it in rather cold salt
water, afterward rubbing dry. In per-
sistent cases, however, the "cake" will
feel cold. 1t should then be bathed in
very warm salt water. While bathing
and at other times milk vigorously,
pushing upward with the hand in imi-
tation of the calf. This last is of great
importance. II the teats are filed with
milk and portion Of the bag caked
before the COW freshens the affected
part should always be MIXED out at
once. Delay in this is what causes so
many cases Of badly caked udder.-

Sows and Their litters.

Twelve Berkshire sows owned by the
Kansas Agricultural college farrowed
103 pigs this spring. They raised
eighty-two, making an average of
about seven pigs from every sow.
Thirteen Duroc sows farrowed 132
pigs. The Duroc sows raised 1O1, or
almost eight pigs from every sow. Six
Poland China sows farrowed forty
three and raised twenty-nine, averag-
ing slightly less than five pigs raised
from every sow. The total number of
pigs farrowed was 27S; the number
reared 212. The highest number far
rowed by any SOW was thirteen The
sow, Duroc, raised ten Of the thirteen,
but two of the other Durocs and one
Berkshire raised ten also. One Berk-

Why Coal is High.

A full reporrto disclose who is profit
ing from the present high price of coal
is promised for the House of Repre-
sentatives by the Department of Com
merce and Labor in December. Secre-
tary Nagel has designated Commits
sioner Charles P. NeiIl of the Bureau
of Labor to investigate in conformity
with the resolution passed by the
House sh ortly before adjournment.
The principal object of the inquiry
will be to determine how much the
cost Of coal to the general consumer
has been increased as a result of the
recent strike in the anthracite coal
regions of Pennsylvania. to which
field the resolution is specifically di-
rected.
In consideration of the resolution
originally introduced by Representa-
tive Difenderfer, of Pennsylvania. it
was said in the House committee that
the anthracite operators had added 25
cents a ton to the retail price.
In addition to learning how much
the price of coal was increased, Com
missioner Neil is expected to ascer-
tain why and how the cost was raised.
Another line of inquiry will be to de-
termine how much and in what partic-
ular the coal miners were benefited
by the strike agreement. In support
of the resolution of inquiry, it was ar
gued that the miners received little of
the increase.
Probably before the report has been
compiled the Supreme Court of the
United States will have handed down
its decision now under consideration,
as to the legal situation in the Penn
sylvanla anthracite coal fields. These
legal questions arise out of the suit
brought by the government against an
alleged illegal combination Of railroads
and railroad coal. companies. which are
charged with seeking to monopolize
the coal trade IN violation Of the Sher-
man antitrust law.
Many points in the governments
complaint originated in former
strike settlement about ten years ago.
1t has been urged at times that even
in that settlement "the interest of the
public was sacrificed to the interests
of organized capital and of organized
labor"

from twenty-five to thirty pounds Of
milk was selected. She was fed a
balanced ration deficient in lime. Her
feed consisted Of grains and oat straw
combined in such a manner that the
6proteins and carbohydrates were in
proper proportions for milk produc-
don. In fact, the cow was fed a ration
common to many farms. Many men
rather than feed hay to their COWS fill
them up on the cheaper straws and
stovers and balance the ration up as
best they can with mill stuffs and
grains grown on the farm.
This particular cow was kept at the
same ration for fifteen days. During
this time she continued to produce her
a1suel amount of milk and seemed to
de In perfect health But when she
was examined at the end of the ex-
zoerimeDt il WAS discovered that one
Fourth of her skeleton had gone into
Che production of nilk-tllat is, one
Fourth of the lime in the skeleton.
Had the experiment continued further
the cow would certainly have kept on
producing normal milk. but she would
have so weakened her constitution as
TO have caused a final collapse. This
marvellous trait Of the cow-or of any
animal, for that matter-of drawing
upon her own body and frame to sup
ply deficiencies in the ration in order
to build up the skeleton of the young
normally and to feed that young with
normal milk has been observed so Of
ten as to make it law.
Now, If, instead of the oats straw,
clover or alfalfa had been included in
the ration, the lime lost daily in the
manure and the milk would have been
made up. All the legumes and most Of
the grasses contain much lime or cal
cium. The grains and mill feeds, no
matter how excellent, are low, very
low, in lime. Thus this experiment
will teach the careful dairyman that
it is not enough to balance a ration,
but that he must also take into con-
sideration the minerals, especially lime

Popular Government.

In his.speech of acceptance President
Taft said the great issue before the
people was the retention of popular
constitutional representative govern
emnt." 1t never occurred to Mr.. Taft
that the greatest period of unrest in
this country since arsdays has been
brought about by the millionaire trust
owners who, while shouting about pop
ular government, have made a farce
of common, everyday justice. The
Payne-Aldrich tariff tax, which Mr..
Taft signed, did more than any other
one thing to make the people dissatis-
fled with the particular brand of pop
ular constitutional representative gov
ernment that Mr.. Taft and his aides
have administered.

Sugar Plums.

The ownership of one half interest
in the Western Sugar Refining Com
pany netted the Havemeyer interests
$12. $50, 900 in two years. In one year,
1898, this concern paid the Havemey-
ers six hundred thousand dollars.
= When the company was organized
the Havemeyers put in million dol
lars capital, and. the Spreckles people
another million. Two years later this
money was returned to the investors,
so that all the profit they subsequently,
took OJt was"velvet" Thus the tariff
on sugar is shown to be a good thing

sugar trust.
