OUR MILK CHURCH.

Devoted to the Dairying Inter* e*t» of Jasper County,

WHEN THE OOWS OOMB HOME. I love the beautiful evening, When the sunset clouds are gold; When the bam-fowl seeks a shelter And the young lambs seek their fold; When the four o'clocks are open, And the swallows homeward come; When the horses cease their labors, And the cows come home. When the supper’s almost ready, And Johnny is asleep, And I beside the cradle, My pleasant vigil keep, Sitting beside the window Watching for “pa” to come, While the soft bells gently tinkle As the cows come home. When the sunset and the twilight In the mingling hues are blent, I can sit and watch the shadows With my full heart well content; And I wish for nothing brighter, And I long no more to roam, When the twilght’s peace comes o’er me, And the cows come home. I see their shadows lengthen, As they slowly cross the field, And I know the food is wholesome Which their generous udders yield: More than the tropic’s fruitage, Than marble hall or dome, Are the blessings that surround me, When the cows come home. —Mary E. Nealey.

COMMENTS ON DAIRY TOPICS

It is very natural to look upon dairying as a means of bettering our conditions. That is all right. There is not much danger of the dairy business being over done. Now then bow shall we proceed? Usually we think that if five cows will pay, ten will pay the same percent, and so on. This is a mistake. We all have certain capacity for business, and while one man might handle 50 cows successfully, another might fail, but could handle 25 all right. The man that can make Live cows average 300 pounds of butter in one year is by no means sure to make ten cows average the same. We must begin with h few cows and learn bow to feed and c.uc for them, and then we can tell whether we can handle more. In fact each man has a limit as to the number of cows he can handle successfully.

FOOD FOR COWS.

There is a great deal said now days about feed for cows. In fact tin re is so much theory presented by our dairymen, especially those who sit in the editorial sanctum, and who never milked a cow or fed one or who could rot tell which cow gives the butter milk and which the sweet milk. Theory is all right, that is if given in small doses, but when you crowd a whole column full of theoriz ng on the products of different ingredients cf a ration of a cow, it costs too much time ami trouble. The old cow will dry up before you cau put your theory into practice. Just a little common sense in feeding and close watching of results will U a -h any man what to feed and how much.

A SUGGESTION.

We have too much brush land in p >i lions of J isper county, the returns of which do not equal the taxes. Tnm out the underbrush, let the sunshine in and sprinkle blue grass and timothy seed. In this way yon can keep a piece of timbered lind profitfl l\. the sapplings 'rowing more japnili than when ch<> ,ed by undergruwib, and at the sane time make very fau pasture. Ti s req lires but little »x ,ra labor and there is no better milk piotiiicer in »n a luxurant gr >v th «»' blue grass Th ■ great advantage of tins over other grasses grown in i,h s locality, is the fact that it is tbv first given carpet seen in the spring, and tue last to leave us in the autumn.

LINSEED OIL MEAL.

We have fid oil meal the past tear and find it pays for two reasons. J the cows in tine cond tion and iiivrens-s the milk AmW. The company keep on hand two grades fur the benefit of the patrons, and they will f urnish any other feed that has to be shipped in, at a nominal jtdyapce—oyer cost and carriage.

Township Convention.

In response to a call, about 25 or 30 members us the People’s party met in the town hall, at Remington, and effected a temporary organization, with John Jordan as chairman. The purpose of the meeting was announced to be the election of one county committeeman, one delegate to the congressional convention from each voting precinct in the township. Then proceeded the following election: County committeeman, East Precinct, A. H. Dickinson; West Precinct, Ellis Jones; South Precinct, Chas. Lilves. Delegates to Congressional Convention, East Precinct, C. G. Austin; West Precinct. John Jordan; South Precinct, A. B. Clinton. Delegates to State Convention. East Precinct, Marvin Austin; West Precinct, Geo. Bessie; South Precinct, Elmer Vincent. Township committee was empowered to till by appointment any vacancies in the ijoregoing committees. Moved that the chairman of township committee communicate with the chairman of County Central Committee, urging a call for a meeting of the County Central Committee at his earliest convenience, and that the secretary furnish a copy of the proceedings of this meeting to the People’s Pilot for publication. A meeting was appointed for school house No. 9, better known as the Hart school house, Feb. Bth, at 7:30 p. m. After a few remarks suggestive of better organization. Meeting adjourned.

Correspondence.

UNION. BY DUCK. They had a well-filled house at the box social given at Union school-house. A prize was given for the prettiest girl, present. Miss Allie Ulm took the prize. They made $14.16. The box supper given at Never Fail was a success, also. Three prizes were given, one for the highest bidder, and a first and second prize was given to the most popular young ladies. They made £18.25 which will be used to get Reading Circle books. The literary at Union school house, February 2nd, was a success in every yarticular. Several good songs were sung and the debate was the best that it has, ever been. It was decided that women should vote. The next literary is Feb. 16, the question being Resolved, that capital punishment is wrong. The people are wondering why it is that the dogs of Rensselaer remain unmuzzled while there are mad-dogs within six miles of them. We see the dogs of Brook and Good land are being killed and muzzled. Why not Rensselaer? Surely, the dogs of Rensselaer are as apt to go mad as any others. We think the town authorities should see after this.

LEE.

BY GUESS. A. K. Sills, of Monticello, was in town Monday on business. Mrs. S. L. Johnson has a severe attack of the lagrippe, but is reported better at this writing. Arthur Wood in has moved to Remington, where he intends to farm. He has the best wishes of a host of friends. The protracted meeting both here and at the Osborn, are still in progress and quite a number of accessions have been made to the church. Monon township has only four and one-half months of school this term. Judging the future by the past if a heavier tax is levied we will have no school at all. A. B. Lewis, of Remington, was in town the fore part of the week. He will soon move back to this place. Mr. Lewis is an enterprising citizen and we -welcome him in our midst.

SOUTHEAST MARION.

BY SCHOOL BOY. Albert Cleveland is moving to Rensselaer. The box social at Never Fail was a success. Health is improving, but there are still a few who are indisposed. Mr. Smith, wlio rented Peter Hinds’ farm, has moved to Newton county. Mr. Goble will move from Vim. Haley’s place in few days, to near Remington. Alvin Dunn, of Remington and his brother, Noah, from 2vlt. Ayr, were in this neighborhood last week. Sampson Evans, of Montgomery county has been visiting his brother, who is sick at Joseph Adams’.

Corn for Suit’. Good, sound, yellow corn by the wagon load, two miles southwest of Lamson bridge. Would exchange corn for a few shoats, 33-6 t eow. J. F. Lawrence. Ten days loss of ti me on account of sickness and a doctor bill to pay, is anything but pleasant for a man of a family to contemplate. whether he is a laborer. mechanic, merchant or publisher. Jas. O. Jones, publisher of the Leader, Mexia, Texas, was sick in bed for ten days with the grip during its prevalence a year or two ago. Later in the season he had & a second attack. He says: “In the latter case I used Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy with considerable success, I think, only being in bed a little over two days. The second attack I am satisfied would have been equally as bad as the first but for the use of this remedy.” It should be borne in mind that the grip is much the same as a very severe cold and requires precisely the same treatment. When you wish to cure a cold quickly and effectualy give this remedy a trial. 25 and 50 cent bottles for sale by F. B. Meyer, Druggist Subscribe for the Pilot.

The secret of the great success of The Cosmopolitan is not so hard to find, if one looks carefully over the number for February. A story by Valdqs, the famous Spanish novelist, the first from his pen to appear in any American magazine, is begun in this number. Arthur Sherburne Hardy’s story, “A Rejected Manuscript,” is charmingly illustrated by L. Marold, who we believe makes his first appearance in' the magazines on this side of the water. A profusely illustrated article on the designing and building of a war-ship appeals to the interest taken by all in the new navy, and a thrilling description of a naval combat under the significant title: "The Meloban and thePentheroy” describes, after the manner of the Battle of Dorking, a possible seafight, the out-come of which is watced by the entire naval world. ‘ ‘Gliding Flight” is an interesting contrbution to the prob lem of aerial navigation by one who has studied the flight of soaring birds in the East for twenty years. Elaine Goodale, who married a member of th Sioux nation, has some interesting information of Indian Wars and Warriors. T. C. Crawford, the Washington correspondent, gives the first half of a startling story, under the title of “The Disappearance Syndicate.” The poetry in this number by Sir Edwin Arnold, Graham R. Tomson and William Young, is unusually good. The Departments, “In the World of Art and Letters” and the “Progress of Science” continue to have as contributors men famous in both continents. The Cosmopolitan for February introduces a famous European author to its readers—Valdes of Madrid, and the artist Marold, of Paris, well known as a French illustrator. Chas. Sinapson is again delivering coal oil and gasoline. 306 t

BOW (RING) it is easy to steal or ring watches from the pocket. The thief gets the watch in one hand, the chain in the other and gives a short, quick jerk—the ring slips off the watch stem, and away goes the watch, leaving the victim only the chain. This' Idea stopped that little game: The bow has a groove I I CJP I j on each end.
