DAIRY NOTES

When ten days to two weeks Of age,
the calf should have little grain.
The silo Is one Of the foundation
stones Of successful dairy farming.
Some people like butter that Is quite
salty and some prefer butter without
salt. 1t Is all q matter Of taste.
Every farmer who observes closely
must be impressed with the need Of
more dairy cows to economize in food
production.
Dairymen should weigh each cows
milk daily. Feed and labor are too ex
pensive to spend on any but high pro
ducing animals.
Shipping whole milk long distances
without souring IL matter requiring
considerable skill and an understand

Bedouins Resist Civilization.

The Bedouin tribes of North Africa
are perhaps as impervious to the in
fluence of modern civilization as any
people i'm the world. Since the French
took control of North Africa these wild
tribes have been. supposedly, under
military discipline and guardianship,
but they have maintained their own
tribal organizations and almost com.
plete independence, so far as their
actual lives are concerned
rhey follow the traditions of Is.
lam and their dwellings, their fur.
pishings (Which are few and far be.
tween) and their clothing date back
10 the days Of the Bible.

milk a year included 2,O46 pounds of
grain, as well as 1901 pounds of hay
and corn slower, 1875 pounds Of sill
age, and 72O pounds of straw for bed
ding. The average cow required lit
tie less than ~ acres of good pasture
to furnish grazing for six months Of
the year. To keep her in proper con-
dition and to milk and feed her regu-
larly required 164.5 hours Of human
labor. as well as 1872 hours of horse
labor to haul the milk.
The studies In Indiana showed that
the annual overhead charges for Bos-
sic aggregate S27.l1. inclusive of the
interest, depreciation, and taxes on
buildings. cattle. and equipment, as
well as miscellaneous expenses, such
as provision and maintenance of cans
pals, dippers, shOvels, forks, scoops,
lanterns, and the like, medicine and
veterinary costs, fly sprays, gas en-
gines, windmill and milk wagon re-
pairs, and similar items. The cost of
bull service, tuberculin-testing ex-
penses, and cow-testing dues are also
Included.
The tests show that calf crop of
approximately 81 per cent is usually
raised, SO that each COW is credited
with the production of 0.S7 Of one
calf, as well as the providing Of SIS
tons of manure, which is hauled to the
fields as fertilizer,
Massed together under one roof, the
grain and coarse feed which Bessie
will eat in one year would fill a small
barn. Generally speaking, high pro
duction of milk is closely associated
with large and healthy COW appe
tite, and the dairyman who closes his
accounting records at the years enc
with the maximum net return is the
man who provides the greatest va
riety and proper mixture of thu
goodies Of the cow world for the Dos
sizes of his herd according to their in
dividual production and capacity.

SHOOTING SCRAPE IN
OLD FIRST DISTRICT

The old first district was the scene
Of shooting scrape on Thursday
afternoon Of last week, which occurr-
ed at the home of Ollie Smith, a
young married man, Mr.. Smith and
Clarence Coffman being the partici-
pants. Coffman being out in the open
and Smith in the house, the latter
was the only one hit-and he, they
say, was peppered with shot all over
one side of his body, supposedly the
front side, as he seems to have been
"facing the music" We are informed
that several shots were exchanged,
Smith first using a pistol with no eff
feet, and then requisitioning a shot
gun with the result stated
Coffman was carried in an automo-
bile to the home of his aunt, Mrs. Joe
Douglas, at Rock Springs, in the. old
sth district, where his clothing was
removed and he is reported to have
been swathed in bandages. A pecul-
iar feature of the encounter between
the two men is the fact reported that
Coffman says he does not want Smith
prosecuted, even if his wounds should
prove fatal, which we hope is not like

man, who is back in this county. and

The convenience of payments, safety

Robin Cooper Comes to His
Death Near Nashville, Tenn.

house heard him say "You could have
had more if you had asked for
it," and the supposition is that the
conversation was about whisky. 1t
is further supposed that Cooper left
his home with man who was a whis-
ky agent and that he went with the
man after whisky. 1t is told in the
account of the killing in the Nash
vile papers, that Cooper has been
known to frequently buy whisky from
Nashville bootleggers and it was add
ed that Cooper was known to have
kept whisky in his house 'for enter
tainment purposes" The fact is, as
we gather it, that Cooper has been so
haunted by his foul deed, since he aid
ed his vile old father in the assassina-
tion of Ed. Carmack, in November,
1908, that he has since been per-
sistent drinker-in fact, we remem-
Der the rummor quite time ago that
Robin Cooper was drinking himself
to DEATH" With the best that could
be said Of him, if he had sunk so low
as to be trafficking in any way with
Nashville bootleggers, he had certain
ly about gotten to the bottom.
When Old Dune Cooper and his son
killed Senator Carmack, on the even
ing of Nov. 9, 1908, the proof showed
that Robin Cooper shot Carmack in
the back of the neck-so, having shed
the blood of an able, a good and fear
less man, he has been given this much
of time to confess and repent, which
he failed to do, before he reaped the
reward promised in Holy Writ to
those who shed the blood of a fellow
man.
Old Dune Cooper was in New York
and was wired to come and look upon
the tragic ending of the son whom he
had ushered into young manhood as
murderer.

cent OF the soldiers and sailers carry
ing war risk insurance have discon-
tinued their payments. If this is true
it is greatly to be regretted since the
government insurance policies offer
to the insured many advantages that
are not available in private insu-
rance companies. A recent decision
of the Secretary of the Treasury is
to the effect that discharged soldiers
sailors and marines, who have drop
ped their insurance may reinstate it
within eighteen months after dis
charge without paying the back pre-
miums. They will be asked to pay
only the premiums for two months
on the amount of insurance desired.
The only stipulation is that the for
mer service man be in as good health
as at the date of his discharge. A
special form (No. 742) has been pre-
pared by the Bureau of War Risk In
surance to permit application for re-

Inc dead QooX ~ konIu ~
a>ldashvIIIe lAwytr ana one Of the
murderers Of Edward W. Carmack,
was found under a bridge over Rich
land creek, near Nashville, and nearer
the fashionable suburb Of BelleMeade,
where the Coopers lived, last Saturday
morning, about thirty-six hours after
he was murdered by unknown persons.
Mrs. Cooper and her elder son, Mil
ton (named for his grandfather Mil
ton H. Smith, of Louisville, president
of the Louisville & Nashville Railroad)
were visiting in Evanston, ILL.,, leaving
at home Mr.. Cooper and two younger
children.
On Thursday night of last week at
about 10 o'clock, a stranger came to
the door of the Cooper home and
when Mr.. Cooper answered the bell,
the conversation heard by servants
in the house, indicated that Cooper
and his caller were not strangers.
Cooper went back into his house, up
the stairs where his children were,
kissed them good night and going out
of the house, left without wearing his
hat-and was not seen again alive by
his servants. The servants made no
step toward making known the dis
appearance of Mr.. Cooper and the po-
lice were not notified until Saturday
morning at 7:30 o'clock, when Samuel
E. Palmer passed by and saw blood
stained papers on the running-board
of the Cooper automobile which stood
abandoned by the roadside and some
three quarters of mile from the spot
in the creek where the body was
found. The Nahville Banner on first
investigation advanced the theory
that Cooper was killed in his own car,
transferred to that of the murderers
at the point the Cooper car was found
by the Leake lane roadside and from
there was carried to or near the place
his body was thrown into the creek.
