GREATEST MILK COW.
9
Tilly Alcatra Wins Honors of the
World for Holstein Breed.
Again a dairy cow has given evidence
of the astonishing amount of
food that she is capable of producing
in one year, and again it is a Holstein-Friesian
that has beaten all
previous records for production.
Tilly Alcartra has been in the limelight
of the dairy world before. One
feat was a seven day record of 4 0!
pounds of butter from 729.1 pounds
of milk?but that is by the way.
Her production for 1918 amounts
to 33,424.8 pounds milk, from which
the butter fat is equal to 1,332.25
pounds butter. She averaged over 42
quarts of milk per day for the whole
year, and her total production if
aold at nine cents per quart would
* bring a return of $1,40U. For rour
years she has an average of 27,629.4
pounds milk, 1,185.92 pounds butter,
and for six years her average is
26,129 pounds of milk and 1,023.18
pounds of butter; while the total
production for the six years is 156,776.1
pounds milk, 6,141.36 pounds
butter. By this demonstration she
has proven beyond all doubt that she
is the greatest and most wonderful
milch cow the world has ever known.
The nearest compeitor to Tilly Alcartra
is the Jersey cow, Sophie, 19th
of Hood farm, whose six years' production
is 75,920.8 pounds of milk,
5,217 pounds of butter; the milk being
less than half that given by the
Holstein. "Tilly" is 10 years and
three months old; she has had six
calves, and is a sister of thirteen
cows who have been a credit to the
Holstein breed, two of whom have
exceeded 20,000 pounds of milk and
f over 900 pounds of butter in a year,
and Six have records from 732 up to
, 796^pounds of butter.
She is a daughter of Alcartra Polkadot
Corrector 30624, and out of
the dam, Tilly Lou 2nd 82057. Alcartra
Polkadot Corrector is a son of
fc.v. ' Alcartra Polkadot, a 29 pound cow
having five A. R. O daughters, two
with records of over 31 pounds. "Tilly"
was bred by McKay Brothers of
Buckingham, Iowa, and was purchas
ed as a two-year old by the A. W.
Morris corporation of Woodland,
Cal., in whose hands she has made
her big records.
Tilly Alcartra stands, at the beginning
of 1919, without peer in the
dairy world, having proven tliat the
Holstein-Friesian breed of cattle is
well-nigh incomparable.?Dairy Bulletin.

another s deed. when the death
warrant was read and he was told
that he had but a few minutes to live
he again claimed he was innocent.
After he was led into the death
chamber he was asked if he had any
statement to make and began singing
that he was an innocent man. He
thanked all the prison officials for
their kind treatment and said he
hoped to see them in heaven. One
thousand and eight hundred volts
wero used on the negro three times
before life was pronounced extinct
by Dr. R. -T. Jennings.
Officials at the penitentiary had
become skeptical about Walker and
some were inclined to believe the negro's
story. The body was not
claimed by relatives and will be
buried in the potter's field.

POLICE SAVE MISSIONARY.
Speaker I>ecLared I Resident Playing
to BoLseviki.
New York, March 9.?Rev. Dr.
George A. Simons, a Methodist missionary
who was stationed in Russia
for eleven years and who appeared
as witness before the senate committee
investigating propaganda, started
a tempest when he declared in an
address at the central Y. M. C. A. in
[ Brooklyn today that President Wil
son was "playing into the hands of
the bearers of the red flag."
Instantly there were cries of
"treason" and "throw him out," but
a sergeant of police, and three patrolmen
saved the speaker from
rough handling by persons in the audience
of 700 who heardj his assertion.
Three sailors in uniform demanded
that Dr. Simons apologize. He responded
by saying he believed President
Wilson was as "fine a Christian
I gentleman as we have in America."
! Later a Y. M. C. A. secretary apologized
in behalf of the organization
for the remarks of the missionary.
Charges "Pussy-Footing."
"I believe in respecting our President
so long as he respects the traditions
of our fathers," said Dr. Simons
in his address, "but when he is
guilty of criminal pussy-footing and
playing into the hands of the Bolshevists
and the Bolsheviki vote
getters, it is time that Woodrow Wilson
should come to the mourner's
bench to be reconsecrated in the spirit
of Americanism."
There were cries of "throw him
out" and some one cried "that's sedition
of the worst kind" while others
tried to make themselves heard
above the din. When about 200 of
the audience had left the auditorium
and the missionary was able to go
on, he seemed decidedly nervous.
Objectionable Remark.
"I believe I have the right to let
President Wilson know what I expect
of him," he went on, "even if he
is the president. Haven't we the
right to request him to be an American?
I am opposed to Bolshevism
because it was made in Germany. I
say that Woodrow Wilson is playing
into the hands of the holders of the
red flag."
At this point in his speech the
missionary was interrupted by catcalls
and he was surrounded by the
police.
paia tne aeatn penalty in tne eiecinc
x chair yesterday morning at 11:50
\ o'clock. The condemned man was led
into the death chamber at 11:44 after
the death warrant had been read
to him in his cell about 40 feet from
the chair. A negro minister had
v spent the last moments with him.
Walker's death was the closing
chapter of a series of singular and
coincident events. He was first sentenced
to die in January, but was
given a reprieve on account of the
' State electrician having influenza.
He prepared to meet death the second
time, February 21, but the current
failed and he was given another
reprieve until March 8. His electrocution
yesterday establishes a
precedent in South Carolina, he being
the first man to pay the death
penalty in the State on Saturday.
" Friday has long been hangman's
day, but with the precedent once
broken electrocutions may follow
any day in the week.
Walker died protesting his innocence
to the last. When seen in his
cell shortly before the time set for
thp pxppnttnri hp said hp was rparlv
to die and would give his life for
nice cow?first class."
"Well you must have some idea?
j does she give a gallon at a milkI
ing?"
"Never kept very much track."
"But you have a rough notion.
Does she give as much as a gallon a
day?"
"Couldn't say definitely. She's an
ayf'ly good, kind old cow though. If
I she's got any milk she'll give it to
j you."

arresting Eichorn, the Bol|
shevik police chief, at Berlin, the
government has resumed its search
j for him.
Exposing a Libel.
Exceptionally interesting for a
number of reasons was the letter,
printed in the News and Courier of
yesterday, from Lieutenant J. O'H.
Sanders now with the American army
of occupation in Germany, and nothing
in it was more interesting than
Lieutenant Sanders's remarks concerning
the attitude of the Germans.
"The Germans," he says, "seem to
be making an organized effort to
cultivate us, perhaps with the hope
of securing America's influence towards
lenient peace terms, but it
will not succeed any better than
their other clumsy propaganda. Personally
I feel nothing but contempt
for their cringing attitude, their ovver-polite
'Good mornings/ their
bowing salutes. I should rather be
back in France where I feel at home
and admire and like the people."
That is an amply sufficient answer
to the reports that have been spread
by various writers concerning the
state of mind of American soldiers
fPliaoA nrrif ore? Vl O VO
ILL UCi LLLCLUJ . JL UCOU TT X it^i O uu.v
said that the American soldiers prefer
the Germans to the French and
Germany to France and that they
would never have fought for the
French against the Germans if they
had known the two peoples before
hand. That this was a libel on the
American soldier most of us have always
believed and Lieutenant Sanders's
letter further strengthens our
conviction. There is no reason to
doubt that his feeling is shared by
the great majority of our soldiers
now on German soil; and he has performed
a useful service in expressing
his feeling regarding this matter
thus forcibly and frankly.?News

The Willing Cow.
"She's an awf'ly good cow. Our
| children think the world of her.
You'll like her immensely," said the
farmer.
"And how much milk does she
give?" asked the purchaser.
"Don't know exactly, but she's a
WILL RISE IF FARMERS HOLD.
Commissioner Says Mills Must Have
Staple.
Cotton?what to do with it. That
is the question that is uppermost in
many minds. B. Harris, commissioner
of agriculture, has been giving
this austion most of his attention
all of his life, and he insists that
if other countries can fix the price of
j the commodities which they grow the
South should be able to fix the price
of cotton.
"Really, we have no cotton market
now. and will have none until
we have world-wide and unrestricted
intercourse with all other nations,"
says Mr. Harris. "This, of course,
may not come until the treaty of
peace has been signed, although the
allies have lifted the blockade in the
Mediterranean. I see by the news
reports that on February 17 exports
were 34,000 bales against
6,000 for the same day last year.
The reason why such heavy exports
are not stiffening the market is because
the shipments consist of cotton
belonging to English, French.
Italian and Spanish cotton mills and
merchants and have been carried in
the American ports for the last year
or two, and in some instances longer.
"No new buying is in evidence,
but this stock of cotton will be exhausted
soon, and somebody will
have to begin to buy. It is amusing
just to think thet a few months ago
how enthusiastic the bulls were to
buy at 35 cents. How can they have
the heart to talk bear dope at 25
cents when there is no more cotton
now for the world's* consumption
than when they were giving 35
cents? They will talk to you about
the great abundance of stocks of dry
goods on hand in the retail stores
and at the same time they will have
to Confess that the merchants are
buying on a hand to mouth basis. As
soon as the armistice was signed, every
cotton mill and every bearish
cotton trader in the world set out to
convince the world that about 5,000,000
bales would be all that the
world would consume, even if ir
should be able to handle that
amount.
"The best authorities say now that
there is not enough cotton for the
supply of the world's needs, but the
supply is more than the world will
take with conditions as they are. j
Conditions will change, and when
they do there will be something doing
in the market that will be interesting
to the man who has cotton.
So much lor the situation?here is .
the remedy.
"You farmers and bankers have it
in your hands. Hold the 1918 crop
off the market; cut acreage 33 1-3
per cent, and fertilizer anywhere I
from 33 1-3 to 50 per cent. Don't
fail to do these things if you want '
to win. You have the best hand in
the game, and don't give it away.
"Let us see what is to be gained
by following this program:
"First, you will show the speculators
of the world that we will not allow
our own God-given monopoly?
which is cotton, the great money
crop of the South, and the South
raises 70 per cent, of it to clothe the
world?to be handled by a bunch of
manipulators to enrich themselves
and the people who gave it to go so
poorly clad that they have* not
enough clothes to keep them warm
in winter.
"We have been milking this old
cow long enough and milking and
turning the milk over to the other
fellow. We are going to milk for
ourselves in the future.
"Let's make a little calculation to
see what we would lose if we were
to let go the remainder of our 1913
crop at today's prices, quoted at 25
cents. From the best authority we
can get we now have 750,000 bales
in this State. If sold at present
spot price it would bring $93,750.000.
If held and sold for 35 cents
the remainder of the crop would
bring $131,250,000. If sold at present
prices we would be loser $37 500,000.
Can we afford this loss?
"Any farmer who has cotton on
hand now will make more money if
he will hold on to it and not go to
the expense of buying high priced
fertilizer and higher priced labor to
make a new cotton crop this year. If
he will plant corn and sow the remainder
of his land in peas and turn
under the peas for fertilizer he will
improve his soil and be better off
than the man who sells his cotton
and then plants another crop of cotton.
"I urge every farmer in the State
to be sure this year to plant corn
j and peas and forage crops and raise
j hogs for his home consumption for
next year, and if they will do that
they will never see cotton sold for
the cost of production?and even
! cheaper.
| "Farmers, you have the remedy in
your hands. It is up to you."
