A. w. Carver of Maryland says
of dual purpose cattle: 1--WE have a
herd of pure bred Shorthorns which
We term dual purpose cattle. The
. COWS give a good amount Of milk
from nine to ten months a year
and raise calves that bring from
SIS to SIPS. We leave the calves on
the cows from three to six months
and then milk them until they go
dry. After the cows go dry they
take on flesh very fast and are in
fine shape when they calye. One Of
vi cows gave forty pounds of milk
a day during the fourth month aft

THAT Supreme Court decision tied few knots
in the tail of the "regular" Democracy.
CHAMP CLARK is so busy praising the acts
" of the Democratic party that he forgets it is
the first chance since the days of ANDY JACKSON.

CPEAKER CHAMP CLARK hcbbled over to
- Baltimore, the other day, accompanied by
his sore toe, in order to state that by right, he
ought to be in the White House. Laugh and the
world laughs with you; weep and the world
laughs at you.
THE death Of ex-senator SHELBY M. CULLoM
removes figure that, for fifty years, has
been in the front ranks and high councils OF the
Republican party. No cleaner man ever held
political office, and his life will serve as per
petual monument TO his memory.
THE fact that it will cost nearly as much to col
lect the income tax as the revenue will
amount to, and the further fact that it entails
hardship upon those who are held accountable Tor

pensation, lead us to believe that it is an invention
that will come back to plague the inventor until
he will wish he were in hades to cool of.

L and members of his cabinet that business

with laurels, but the unemployed, as result OF
his theories, find it mighty hard to satisfy the
pangs Of hunger with those commodities.
