 Black Hand is After Him.

Stamford, June 1.-Indigestion came near resulting disastrously for Joseph Scotti, a Stamford barber, yesterday afternoon. While he was shaving Frank B. Gurley, a local real estate dealer, the barber began to yell wild ly:
 'sThe Black Hand!The Black Hand: They're after mel!
 He dashed for a window, pulled out the screen and started to climb out. MT. Gurley held him until the arrival of a policeman. Dr. R. E. Powell said Scotti had pressure on the brain due to indigestion.

THE STAY-AT-HOME VOTE

Men seldom lack reasons for op- ,osine what they don't like. In this ,sxchofogy- may lie the motive which causes divers newspapers. mostly of .ne reactionary type,s to object to di- rect primaries because of the alleged ''smallness'' of the vote.
 Men who would applaud a nomina- ton by convention of twenty dele- gates. proceeding from a primary in which 200 or 300 votes might be cast, give no validity at all to a mandate proceeding from forty or fifty per e~ak ak tho voters

There are many reasons why a pri- mary vote is smaller than the vote on election day. Not every man who roll for the party primary, or is en- rolled. Not every man entitled to vote in a primary has an opinion upon the particular question in settlement. Therefore he doesn't vote.

TO IMPROVE THE
DAIRY INDUSTRY

The Department of Agriculture by di-
special efforts to improve the dairy in
dustry in the South. There is great
need in the South, as well as in other
sections of the country" said Secretary
Wilson, for an increased production of
dairy products and the Department thru
its daily experts is trying to bring this
about
"In the first place, 1t is needful that
farmers in the South should produce
larger amount of milk because milk and
other dairy products now obtained from
southern farms do not begin to supply
the needs of the immediate vicinity. The
consuming public neeos more milk, and
the farmer needs to know how TO make
money by supplying it at a reasonable
rate Hence, both dairymen are needed
and a fuller knowledge of modern me-
thods for daryng.
"One of the things most urgently ne
cessary, is to increase the average pro-
duction of milk per COW, by culling out
the cows whose yielding ability is small
which take up stable room, feed, and
the farmers labor without giving an ade-
uuate return therefor. The only reliable
way to distinguish between cows that
are good at the milk pail and those that
are not is to keep records of their &C
tual performance. This practice the De-
partment is bending every effort to get
the farmers to take up, and these ehorts
are meeting with a gratifying success.
'The field man of the Department goes
into a locality, talks to the farmers and
finds one or two men who will carry on
herd record work. lie shows them how,
and helps them in testing the milk and in
working up the records, until they are
able to do these things for themselves;
thus helping them to weed out their poor
COWS and make better profit out of the
remainder of the herd.
"The records furnish needed ipforma :
ton about the work of the farm in other
respects as WE'LL such as the feed con-
sumed by each COW, and the cost OF iced.
The field man gives instruction in feed
ing, problems, showing how the same or
larger quantity of milk can be obtained
from cheaper rations; and gives sugges-
lions in the selection of feeding stuffs.
The dairyman is encouraged to grow
more roughage for his cattle, such as
corn for slage, leguminous hay, and
soiling crops. Assistance is given in the
building of silos, barns, and dairy houses
and in remodeling old buildings to make
them more suitable for dairy purposes
THE aim of this work is to get one OF
two well conducted dairies in each one
of a large number of communities, in the
expectation that a large number of mer
in each community will pattern after the
work of the ones cooperating with the
department, or in other words, to use
the one or two men as pivots. gooc
case of this kind is shown in certain
locality in North Carolina. About foul
years ago a field man began work will
two dairymen keeping records, One
these lords was an exceptionally goot
nerd; the ether had a large number o
poor individuals. These poor COWS were
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1912-02-24

weeded out, while better ones were
bought, and the profits wera materially
increased. Since that time about a
do en- men have taken up record work,
and large number of pure bred cattle
have been purchased. Nearly dozen
silos have been built in this one locality,
and several new barns and dairy houses
have been erected, and as many more re-
modelled. The general interest in dairy
ing has so increased that at the present
time small creamery is running sue
cessfully in this locality-so much milk
is produced. After three years of this
work three days short course in dairy
instruction was held, at which 30 people
attended, taking part in the testing OF
milk, the making of butter, and the judg-
ing OF cattle, while a number of lectures
were given on the care and feeding of
dairy animals.
"All this work is done in cooperation
with State institutions, and when the
work is well started in one state 1t Is
left to the care of the state officials.
Take for instance the state already men
toned, North Carolina. At the present
time three field men are engaged in this
extension work and the State is bearing
the whole expense.
Another way the field men aid the
dairyman Is in the selection of dairy
machinery, with which he can make a
better grade of butter. A great deal Of
what butter is made in the south is made
in such a primitive way that it is mot
tied and sour, and does not satisfy the
demand; hence large amounts of butter
have no brought In
states.
instruction has been given to dairy
farmers in regard to keeping their herds
in healthy condition, and in the pur-
pose and APPLICATION or the tuberculin
test. Where possible, herds have been
tested for tuberculosis; and where De-
partment agents have assisted farmers
in the selection of new cattle, t has been
the practice to have these cattle pur-
chased subject to the tuberculin test.
ION account of the prevalence of the
boil weevil Southern farmers are taking
up dairying as a lucrative business I'M
affected by the pest and are learning to
rotate crops so as to prevent the spread
of the weevil. Dairying furnishes a
means of profitable use for the crops.
THE field men assist in the organiza-
tion of dairy and live stock associations.
A number of these have been organized
in the past three years in several Of the
| Southern States. One new form of breed
| ing association which the Department is
| now trying to introduce is the bull asso-
| citation, in which a group of farmers join
| in the purchase of one or more purebred
| bulls, to introduce good blood into their
| herds and raise the quality of their cows,
at an expense within their means. One
| bull association has just organized
through the efforts of the field agent in
| Maryland.
Butter contests for periods of twelve
months have been conducted by the field
men. Criticisms are made on samples
sent in each month, defects are pointed
out and remedies suggested, and in this
way the product of many farms has been

secession scoundrel This was the great
day of rejoicing throughout the land,
over the downfall of treason, and some
cowardly traitor, like thief and robber,
made use of the cover of darkness to
perpetrate an outrage upon the National

pole ncxt day, spliced the halyard, and
the "old flag again rose in triumph,
hailed by cheers from dauntless hearts,
who are always true to their country in

of Elkton will give fifty dollars for the
