Republicans Elected.

Jefferson City, June % The SUI
preme court, in a unanimous opin-
ion today, seated the Republicans in
all the state contest cases. Judges
John Kennish and John C. Brown
and State Superintendent Evans re-
tain their places under the terms of
the ruling.
The opinion in the case of How
ard A. Gass against State Superin-
tendent Evans was written by
Judge Lamn. All the cases were
concurred in by all the judges ex-
cept KenniSh and Brown, who did
not sit. The opinion in the case of
Judge James B. CAN'T against Judge
John c. Brown was written by
Judge Ferris.
The opinions hold that the con-
test of Judge CAN'T abated with his
death and that in the other cases
the charges of fraud were not prov
ed, nor was the fact established
that there was illegal registration or
voting enough to overturn the re-
turns of the election They over
rule the Mackay case, holding that
the registration number on the bal
lots is not required in St. Louis.
These opinions sustain Commits
sioner R. E. Culver in his finding
against the contestants.

INTERESTING ACCOUNT OF PRODUCTION
OF MILK IN WESTERN PART OF SCOTLAND
Majority Of Farms Rented for Term TWenone Years and
Average from 100 to 200 AcresAbout so Per Cent Of Best
Diaries Keep Ayrshires, Others Short-Horns.

1t may interest some of your read
ers TO know how milk Is produced in
the west of Scotland to supply Glas-
gov and other western towns, says q
writer In the Country Gentleman. The
majority Of the farms are rented for
81 years. and the average farm is from
100 to 200 acres. with rs to 80 milch
cows, work horses and about so
sheep. The principal crops grown are
clover, timothy and rye-grass hay,
oats. barley. wheat, yellow and Swede
turnips. Practically all the frst-cut
hay is sold off the farm. only the sec
ond cut being kept for the horses and
stock. The barley straw is used prin-
cipally for the packing houses of pot
teries and foundries. On some farms
30 to 40 acres of potatoes are raised.
In which case the cows get large
quantities of small potatoes. The
wheat straw is all sold for bedding
for town and private stables. Two or
three acres of clover are grown handy
to the barn for summer feed when
pastures begin to brown. There are
generally three pastures for the milk
ers, SO this gives constant change
and prevents grass being too closely
eaten. They are generally changed
every four or five days in pastures. /
