The rain is still falling and has
been since Friday night. 3d ult.,
with very little intermission.
Wheat is not all cut yet, and
grave fears are entertained that
the wheat will be greatly damaged
before it can be housed.
Grass and weeds are having
their day, and doing their best to
drown out the corn and cotton.
Vegetables would be more healthy
if we could have more sunshine.
The Clifford Lime and Stone Cos.

great success.
The parents of Mr. and Mrs.

Mr. Edwards came home sick, but

The rain has beci me a serious
question. It looks as though the
cotton crop or a large per cent, will
be lost, and the wheat will spoil
in the shock if the rain continues.
Some are moving away and leav
ing tl:e r crops. Most of the crops
on bottom land is drowned out
now. Farmers are looking gloomy
over the future prospects.

She was 60 years of age, was never

The July Ladies’ Home Journal
“ The Fashionable Summer Re
sorts of the Century" is a feature
of the July Ladies’ Home Journal
especially interesting from the
glimpse it gives of the social life
of these places at times when they
were considered accessible only to
the rich. “The Girl Who Fought
in the Revolution" is the story of
a young woman who battled for
tne cause of liberty on the field
and made innumerable conquests
of female hearts. She enlisted as
a man and wore the uniform of a
soldier. A contribution to the
July Journal that will find a uni
versal welcome is Ernest Seton-
Thompson’s dramatization of
“Wild Animals I have Known,’’
ti which the author’s friends of for
est and plain are impersonated by
children. Edward Bok writes of
“The American Man and the Coun
try,” “An American Mother”
writes on “Is a College Education
the Best for Our Girls?” and Ed
ward B. Rawson on “Letting Chil
dren Rest in Summer.” “A Mis
sionary in the Great West,” “The
Autobiography of a Girl,” “The
Voice in the Choir” and “The
Story the Doctor Told” are all in

SNAKESTOPPEDTHE MESSAGE-
Coiled About Wires end Hampered
Telegraph Service.
Vinita, I. TANARUS., June 24.—A snake
caused the telegraph operators on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas
Railroad much trouble last Sunday
afternoon. The operators espec
ially between Vinita and Adair ex
perienced considerable trouble with
the wires between these two points
and were interfered with when sent
and a lineman was therefore sent
out to investigate the cause and
discovered something new in the
way of telegraph service on rail
roads. A large snake 4 feet
long had crawled up a telegraph
pole and fastened his tail around
thetopwi e and wound another
part of his body around the lower
wire and in this way got out about
4 feet from the pole, where it con
tinued to swing on the wires. The
snake, after having hung there for
some time was electrocuted, but
still hung to the two wires forming
a circuit for the electricity and
when a message was sent it went
as far as the Snake and passed
throngh him to the other wire and
returned making the circuit com
plete and cut off the two towns
from te'egraphic communication
by these two wires.
DAIRY COW STEER.
A Comparative Statement of Their
Productive Value and Cost.
We have in some of our recent month
ly talks urged the importance of keep
ing more and better grades of cattle on
the farms of Georgia, with special direct
ness to beef cattle.
But our state is about as well adapted
to the dairying interests as to beef cat
tle. The dairy cow has come to stay
and every year she grows in favor. We
need education along these lines to at
tain the highest success, as it takes
more watchful care and intelligent re
search for a young farmer to raise a
pound of good creamery butter than a
pound of cotton.
From a late bulletin issued from the
experiment station of the University of
Tennessee we glean the following inter
esting facts as shown by actual experi
ments.
One reason why dairying is bound to
come more and more into favor is be
cause of the increased production of the
cow over the steer. Laws & Gilbert, of
England, found the increase of a fat
tening steer in one day to be as follows:
Per Cent.
Ash 1.47
Protein 7.69
Fat 06.2
Water 24.6
On the following ration of 80 pounds
ensilage, 4 pounds ootton seed meal, 4
pounds bran, 4 pounds of corn meal, and
10 pounds mixed hay per 1,000 pounds
live weight, a good dairy cow ought to
produoe 20 jjounds 0 £ milk, and a steer
should make 2 pounds of gain per day.
By reference to the table given below,
the returns from each can be readily
ascertained:
In 20 pounds cow’s milk— Per Cent.
Sugar 0.94
Fat 0.72
Protein 0.80
Ash * 0.14
Total 2.60
fu 2 pounds inorease on steer—
Sugar 0.00
Protein 0.16
Ash 6.08
Fat 1-30
Total 1-48
The cow’s milk contains over 1 per
cent more solids than in the 2 pounds
gain of the eteer. The cow has produced
94 per cent, of sugar against the steer's
nothing, five and one-third times as
much protein and over half as much fat,
and if the sugar is reduoed to its fat
equivalent, nearly as much fat as the
steer. Practically all of the constituents
of milk are digestible and it constitutes
the best and most nourishing of foods.
It is thus apparent that the oow is by far
the most economical machine for the
condensing and manufacture of our
course fodders and grains into cheap
food products.
In pi experiment conducted at the
Ontario Agricultural College one of the
group of steers fed on a ration of 58*60
pounds of ensilage and 9.64 pounds of
mixed meal for 150 days gave the follow
ing financial results:
Cost of steer at commence
ment of test . $51.92
Cost of food 19.60
Cost of attendance 3.13
Total cost . #74.66
Value of steer at close of test.s92.Bß
Value of manure 6.75
Total value of steer $99.63
Net gain $34.98
A good cow fed this same ration for
the same period, cost of attendance the
same as for steer ought to produce 25
pounds of milk a day. Assuming the
milk to contain 4 per cent of fat and the
oow to be worth the first cost of the
steer, we have the following financial
results for butter dairying:
Value of oow $61.92
Milk produced (25x150 days)
8,750 pounds
Equal to pounds in butter,
168.76
Worth at 25c per pound 42.18
8,200 pounds skim milk, at 25c
per 100 for feeding purposes 8.00
Value of manure 6.75
Total value of cow and pro
duct $108.65
Net gain of oow oyer steer... 9.22
This seems to be a fair comparison of
tiie value of the oow and steer in
AN IMMHNSE_ARMY-
Of Chinamen Near Pekin-Heavy
Guns and Much Ammunition
London, June 26. —“Gen. Maq’s
army," says a correspondent at
Shan Hai" Kwan, “consisting of
4,000 men, left a week ago for Pe
kin, and Gen. Sung Ching’s forces
numbering 2,500 left for the same
place on June 15.
“A careful estimate of the number
and armament of the Chinese troops
around Pekin puts the total kt 360,
000. and it is calculated that these
troops possess 227 Krupp guns and
150 Maxims.
“Their supply of ammunition is
practically inexhaustible. It has
been mainly supplied by a Germ, n
firm at Carlowitz. Fully fhree
fourths of the Chinese forces are
badly drilled, wholly undisciplined
and quite unfamiliar with modern
weapons"
Another Shanghai dispatch says:
“Li Ping;Aeng, former governor
of Sdau Tung, who is intensely
anti-foreign, has gone to the Kiang
Yin forts, on the Yang Tse. He
has declared his intention of re
sisting the landing of British forces
in that region. According to a
Hong Kong dispatch, dated yes
terday, strong reinforcements of
Indian police, with three Maxims,
have been sent to Kow Loon on
the mainland.”
A Chee Foo message of Mon
day’s date says.
“Four cannon have been added to
the west fort here, where there are
now 100.000 soldiers permanently
encamped, a further force having
arrived from Ning Aai Chou.
There is an uneasy feeling pre
vailing here and an attack is gen
erally anticipated. Chinese mer
chants are closing their offices and
preparing to leave the port. All
business is at a standstill. Extens
ive preparations by the allies are
going forward. The first regiment
of British from India, 1,000 men,
embarked at Calcutta yesterday
and 833 more marines received or
ders to go out from English ports.
The British war office, in antici
pation of a prolonged campaign, is
contracting for winter clothing and
fur caps. The Amur army corps,
ordered out by Kossia, numbers
52,100 men, with eighty-four guns.
Japan purposes to land 10,000 men
on Chinese territory within a fort
night. Among the minor military
preparations the Portuguese gov
ernment is sending arms to the
Portuguese in Canton. The Ger
mans in Hong Kong have cabled
Emperor William to ask if they
may serve in the local forces in de
fense of Hong Kong.
A million rounds left Hong
Kong for Taku by the British
steamer Hai Loong.
The Shanghai correspondent of
Times sends the following under
yesterday’s date:
“A military correspondent at
Taku says that the operations of
the allies are suffering for want of
a recognized head, defective or
ganization and the lack of trans
ports."
Mr. Kinder, the noted engineer,
has arrived at Chee Foo.
