"THE SHIELD
OF DAVID"

'',rhe Sword OF the Lord and Gid
con-" was the tocsin of the Israclite;
centuries ago, and it was eminently
successful. Many members of the
race, refugees from Palestine, are
now among the allies in their strug-
giles with the Teutons. "The Shield
of David" it appears, is their tocsin
at this time The Kaiser believes he
is the instrument in the hands Of
Jehovah to bring about changed con-
ditions in this world but his mission
is contested, and that, too, by mem
bers of race whose credentials have
stood the test Of time.
!, In the early fall of last year, when
the President had requested all de-
nominations in the United States to
unite in prayers for peace in the face
of the terrible war which was then
at its beginning, the lsraelitish resi-
dents of Alexandria made special
invocations in their synagogue.
They realized the fact that thousands
of Hebrews were in the armies Of the
Kaiser, Gar, France and England
brothers fighting against brothers. 1t
is so now, while approximately one
hundred thousand of the race arc
in dire distress in Russian Poland to-
day. Many are homeless as result
of the battles which have been in
progress in that section, and famine
is staring them in the face
The Zion Mule Transport Corps, Il
Jewish legion composed almost en-
tirely of refugees from Palestine, has
been formed in Alexandria, Egypt
Those refugees who were OF Russian
nationality expressed the desire to
serve in the war under the British
flag. England proved herself equal
to the occasion, and the British mill
tary authorities Immediately tool,
steps with a view to forming Jew
ish battalion.
Recruiting soon began, and the
regiment, whose numbers are contin-
ually showing an upward tendency.

HYPHENATED
NEWSPAPER

The Newport News Press gives an
interesting sketch of Virginia jour
nalism during the past half century,
| in which it shows the rise and fall
of many newspapers in the Old Dom
inion and the merging of others un-
der one management by the use of
the hyphen. The consolidation Of
papers in this state has been going
on practically since the close Of the
civil war. In ante bellum days there
were generally two papers in every
town-one democratic and the other
of the union persuasion. It was SO
in Alexandria. The Gazette, like
Robert E. Lee, could see no good. rea-
son for secession, but was ready to
follow the fortunes of Virginia. The
Virginia Sentinel, published by the
Messrs.: Smith, was the advocate of
democracy and also secession after
the election of Abraham Lincoln as
President.
At the close Of the war the Smiths
were in Richmond, where they pub;
lished paper, and from that time up
to two years ago attempts have
been made to establish second
paper in Alexandria. One, published
by the late NJ. d. Ball in the seven
ties, was called the Sentinel, but ii
failed to become the successor OF the
journal by that name printed by the
Smiths. We have not kept a list of
journalistic failures in Alexandria
since 1865, but believe that twenty
five or thirty miscarriages have oc,
CURED to enthusiastic persons, some
with and some without journalistic
experience or genius.
During all these years the Gazette
has continued to show the age and
body of the times, although OCCASION
ly glared at by Jealous eyes,
bat none, however, has been able to
supplant it in the mission upon which
it started at the close of the revolu-
tionary war.

THE DAIRY SHoRTHoRN
Is She a Moneymaker2
EDWARD MCDONALD

In 1868 there were some splendid herds
of dairy Shorthorns IN the United States,
but unfortunately in the years that fol-
lowed their excellent beef qualities were
developed at the expense of their repu-
tation as milk producers. The pendulum
now, however, is swinging backwards,
and to-day the dairy type is pushing rap
idly to the front. For the average farm
er. the value OF a COW must be based on
the return she can make in dollars and
cents; and what profits it a man to own
herd of high grade Jerseys if he can
only get between three and four cents
for his milkf With that end in view,
glance at the results of tests made by
the New Jersey experiment station some
years ago will prove interesting. Three
Jerseys gave an average yearly yield of
1896 pounds OF milk, which cost ST.
cents per 100 pounds to produce; TOUR
Guernseys gave 7,446 pounds OF mix,
costing 1871 cents per 100 pounds; three
HoIsteins gave s,455 pounds Of milk,
costing 70.3 cents per 100 pounds; four
Ayrshires gave 7,46l pounds OF milk,
costing rs cents per 100 POUNDS and
three Shorthorns gave i0,457 pounds OF
milk, costing 1872 cents per 100 pounds.
In this test, the Ayrshire produced
milk for the lowest price, just 80 cents
per 100 pounds under what il cost the
Shorthorn to produce It.
1t would seem, then, from these tests
that the Shorthorns ran 1884 year be-
hind the Ayrshire; but wait a moment;
there are other considerations to be
taken into account by the average farm.
er. His bull calves must be disposed
of, and if his herd is not a registered
one, he will have to sell them for veal
when six weeks old for about IS, or dis.
pose of them when three days old for 81.
II, however, his herd consists OF high
grade Shorthorns he can turn his bull
calves into baby beef to be sold when
eighteen months and weighing about
200 pounds, for ten cents per pound
on the hoof, netting him handsome
profit for his labor. Again, the average
dairy COW, weighing about 1900 pounds,
when she has outliyed her usefulness,
goes TO the block at the butchers price,
about five or six cents. while the man
with a Shorthorn, weighing from l,2OoI
to 800 pounds, can command about
eight cents for his beast In England,
the Shorthorns are more in evidence than
any other breed, and the records Of the
best herds are unexcellcd. At the recent
Vermont state fair, dairy Shorthorns
made the largest showing, with lOl
