Milking Three Times q Day.

Messrs. Muller and Jones, of Ger
many, have been making some quite
extensive experiments in milking COWS
more than the usual number of times a
day. By pilking three times day a
slight percentage of fat is secured that
would be lost under other practice. In
one experiment reported, if the butter
were worth thirty cents pound. the
butter from the two milkings would be
worth fourteen dollars and from the
three milkings eighteen dollars, accord
ing to the percentage of fat found to be
secured by the extra milking. The
question arises in this instance, is the
extra money value secured worth the
labor expended in securing it? This
will, of course, depend very much up
on how the cows are kept. If they are
at pasture the trouble of driving them
up and milking them, and driving them
back again, is not altogether measured
by the labor expended, but the loss of
the cows from pasture. Also the inter-
ruption of men and women from their
regular daily labor are serious matters
on farm where long distances sepa-
rate the hands from the cattle. Then,
again, on the dairy farms of this coun-
try the great bugbear is the want of
good mixers. Few men can succeed
in dairying who have to depend on
hired help outside of their Immediate
families or connections. Men hate to
milk, and women can not do it where
large numbers of COWS are to be
handled in reasonably short time. In
the old country, where hands are nu-
merous and to be had for the asking,
the burden of three milkings day may
be imposed without creating a riot, but
in this country it would not work. The
chances also are that such frequent
milkings would tend to dry up the cows
for the want of distention of the udder.
This of course applies to COWS in the
usual condition. When a COW is fresh
and produces yield that threatens the
safety of the udder and that is evident
ly painful to the cow,it is well then to
relieve the udder by one or two extra
milkings day, and even then it is
scarcely worth while to draw the udder
to the last strippings, but it would be
better to take out just enough to relieve
the udder from pain. stile =
Under the ordinary conditions of
American farm life, we are quite sure
that the extra per cent. of fat saved by
one additional milking in view Of the
Inconvenience attached to it's perform
ance would not pay the dairyman to
practice it. In view of its effect on the
cow, we would be slow to recommend
the practice, even if it did pay.-Anaer-

A Discreet Conductor.

II understand you have made an ap-
plication to be placed in charge of a
train on another division of the road, ;"
said a newspaper man to Conductor
Rumsey, the other evening. 1.-The boys
say it is too lively for you up around
Waupun. How is it?''
''No, SIR" says Rumsey, with a
mad look on his face. ut is all lie.
I shall stay on that road as long as
they want me; and you fellows. want
to have your passes with you when you
strike my train, or you have to put UP.
The boys all have to come down and
see me with passes or tickets or money,
and don't you make no mistake. You
want your thick-soled shoes on, or you
get CONS"
''But what was it about some fellow
chasing you out of the coach into the
baggage car, and you locking the door
and not coming out till the man got off.
Any truth in that?" said the newspaper
man, as he took cigar out of Rumsey's
vest pocket, and lit it.
"Well, you hain't got no gall, either.
What you want is to 90 into slaughter
house somewhere and get some gall"
and he looked down at his empty cigar
pocket. ''Naw, there didn't anybody
scare me. The boys tell everything on

Daphne, which was sunk in the Clyde.
Eighty bodies have thus far been re-

Reed. The builders of the Daphne
testified that she was launched in the
usual manner, and no fear had been
entertained of danger. They said that

been removed to admit the boiler

The Denver Exposition commenced
last Tuesday, the 18th, and if our
county has sent any specimens for ex-

fact. 1t is highly important that our

worked, should be represented by some
of their rich ores. 1t is not too late,
and we hope that mine owners will at
once attend to this matter. The rail-

ores free of charge.

JAS. SM,TH. who has deem prosnect.

JAS. SMITH. who has deem prospect
ing in the Weiser country, arrived
here Tuesday, and we are indebted to
him for the following ::ssecsss.
The country known as the Weiser
District is situated on spur drumming
south) of the Sawtooth range. The
Weiser river runs on the east side Of
this spur while the west is drained by
Snake. supplying an abundance of
water for all purposes This spur is
called the Cudy range, named after
Mr.. Cudy who has mills and other
property on this spur. Thirty miles
from Weiser City is Mineral district.
In this district are lodges Of copper,
gold ond silver. The ores are Of low
grade, but with develorement will
prove very valuable. Twenty miles
north of Mineral is Heath district.
There are some very fine prospects in
this district, and considerable amount
OF prospecting is going on. Fifteen
miles further north is Galena district,
which contains as good galena pros
poets as can be found anywhere. This
will undoubtedly be the richest district
in the Territory. Some of the ores go
IS per cent. in lead. Forty miles from
Galena is the district of the "Seven
Devils" or Seven Buttes, which is i'm
mensely rich in copper. also carrying
gold and silver. There are a great
many locations in this district. |. |.
Lewis has three locations and has them
patented. James Smith has two good
locations. In Indian Valley on Little
