ACT TO SAVE PLAINS STOCK.
Frightful Mortality of Sheep and Cattle
Recorded.

At the present time there is an organ
lied movement to secure legislation
which viii put an end to the monstrous
mortality among the sheep and cattle o.
the United States through famine and
exposure to the elements during the Sc
we're winters on the plains. according to
Franklin Il. Morse Of the San Francisco
Society for the Prevo ltion of Cruelty to
Animals.
ITEMS Of thousands of animals arc per
ishing through greed and negligence, be
says. Tell af these horrors and the
reply will be: How dreadful. Can moth
ing be done to put a stop to it, This
may be the last thought given to the
matter. On the other hand. tell the
women of the land who go to market and
know what they have to pay for pound
or two of meat, that more than two bill
lion pounds of perfectly good beef. lamb
and mutton are deliberately wasted-and
it is more likely to strike nearer home
Mr. Morse points out that in San
Francisco tile officers of the San Fran
cisco Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty to Animals inspect hundreds of
crates of fowl every month in order to see
that they are not inhumauly crowded to-
gether Many of these birds are shipped
to the Hawaiian Islands. Complaints
used to come that many of them died
during the long sea trip into the tropics

humane reasons, but when it was shown
that dead fowl were likely to infect the
living and the ultimate consumer was in
danger of getting contaminated food. in
terest was Immediately aroused as to the
methods employed in shipment.
THE farmer who finds pleasure in
using his fowling piece in the killing OF
birds is not likely to discontinue the prac-
tice just because some persons ask him
to desist for sentimental reasons" says
Mr.. More. But if he is told that through
the agency of birds, through their de
struction of insect pests, his crops will
yield in greater abundance, no further
argument viii be founu necessary.
Sentiment is not to be ignored. There
must be a judiciouS admixture of it
Sentiment will reach the child more
quickly than any sanitary or economic
ideas which may be advanced for being
kind to animals, but the hard-headed
farmer or the practical business man is
more likely to listen to the latter reason
ing This, in brief, is the new line of
procedure humanitarians are using in
order to bring about a better condition
and consideration for dumb creatures. 1t
does not arrive at the goal in quite so
altruistic manner, but the end sought
probably will sooner be reached"

Farmers Expect Dry Spell in July
Seven and q Half Cents in Boston

BOSTON, June 22-An advance of one
cent a quart in the wholesale price of
milk in Boston FOR July is expected to
result in a higher price to consumers,
who have used far more milk during the
last month or more than ever was
used during a corresponding period in
the city.
The producers at present are receiving
six and one-half cents quart for their
milk from the distributing companies.
The new July price agreed upon is to be
seven and one-half cents a quart. The
retail price Of milk varies in Boston at
present from II to 1879 cents quart.
The New England Milk Producers as
ISOLATION has made the advance in the
wholesale price and the dealers whom
the members of the association supply
have accepted the advance. An advance
in price is customarily made in July
over the price during May and June,
which constitute the period of greatest
milk production of the year. With the
coming of July the farmers expect
dry period, which affects the pastures
The producers expect that conditions OF
production this season viii render milk
somewhat more costly than it has been
for some time recently.

In talking with Mrs. ]. N. Coffey.s
last Wednesday evening, about the
progress of the Old Kentucky Home,
she said: 81 have in my possession a
walnut cradle that is over a hundred
years old 1t was made for the par
ents of DR.. John L. Mckee, in which
he was rocked when a baby. DR.. Nc
KEGS children were also rocked in
the same cradle.
Just before the civil war broke out
DR.. Mckee was called from DanVilla
to take charge of the Columbia Male
and Female Presbyterian High School
and to also preach for the Church.
In removing from Danville, with his
family, this cradle was brought to Co
lumbia. and after years it fell In tha
hands Of Mrs. Coffey, Who was rela-
tive of Mrs Mckee. From here DR..
Mckee went to Louisville and became

he Ought to Act.

We are not capable of advising Mr..
Jas T. Page, who is an honorable cit
izen of this community, in financial
matters. but he has lived among US
for many years, and he has an abun-
dance of property, here aud else
where. This place has been his home
since he was quite young man. All
his tender associations have been in
this community, ard not an dishon-
orable act was ever charged against
him. He has been going down the
hill he so successfully climbed for sew
eral years, and after awhile, he will
have reached the bottom. Before his
familiar figure disappears from the
walks of man, we would like for him
to build monument upon the corner
where his old brick building now
stands, to be used as store rooms, very
much needed at this time, name it
the ]. t. Page block which would per-
petuate his memory in all probability
for century. He could do this and
not lessen his estate, and at the same
time all the people would rise up and
say "the man who erected that block
dearly loved the old town in which he
was reared" He must not say that
the old buildings bring good rents,
and that he would dislike to raze
them, Time will sooner or later lay
them low, and the new block of build
ings should go up now, and let the
glittering letters shine, ]. T. Page
