Texas Dairy Cows

From Texas Live Stock Journal.
The Texas COW as a dairy animal is
not very highly estimated, being in a
measure trained against it by the gen.
eral manner of permitting the calf to
run with the COW until she is able to
drive off the calf, or the calf should
take a notion that the nourishment
would not pay for the trouble. 1t
is no uncommon sight to see a big,
strapping two-year-old fighting on
one side of a cow and puny, starving
calf on the other, and yearlings are
often found by the hundreds hugging
the side of the dams as closely as a
newborn calf. This kind of business
is generally stopped by wooden blab,
which relieves the COW of her too aged
offspring. 1t certainly does not de-
velop milk cattle, nor is such the de-
sire, because the owner wants a cow
to raise a sturdy calf, then dry up as
soon as possible and rear another.
With all the disadvantages, in a
dairy sense, the Texas stock does of
ten turn out remarkably good mixers,
even off the grass, and when MIXED
year after year Systematically and fed
judiciously, a good Texas milk cow
Will pay a dairyman eqnal to better
bred and higher priced animals.
Eight to ten quarts of milk per day is
not over the average of yield from
I Texas dairy cows when grazing is
supplemented by other food, but the
difficulty is experienced in the selec-
ton. There is not dairy in the state
without common Texas cows exceed
ing this yield, nor without COWS that
will keep it up within month or SO
of the next calf Sometimes they go
dry unexpectedly, yet there are many
which show wonderful development
in the hands of intelligent men, who
see to it that their milk stock are fed
and MIXED with regularity.

A Model Dairy.
From the Texas Live Stock journal.
The dairy buSInesS in Texas rat

From the Texas Live Stock journal.
The dairy business in Texas receiv-
ed something of a shock a short time
since by the arrival of one j. A. Fer
ris, who engaging with others in the
vicinity of Fort Worth, established a
dairy farm on moderate scale. His
first innovation was to open a store
for the sale of milk by the glass, pint
or quart, and sold so much milk that
way as to cause others to follow SO
good an example. AS consequence
at almost every confectionery, store
or lemonade stand, ice cold milk be-
came a favorite drink with the people
of the city, and while the warm
weather lasted this business flourish
ed nightly.
Mr.. Ferris claimed that he could
preserve his milk all day long, no
matter how warm the day was, and
from the first trial trip made he never
sent wagon around more than once
each day, and ne claims, too, that if he
has time to thoroughly cool his milk
by a gradual process, the necessity OF
two deliveries can easily be avoided
He has shipped cream and milk to
Galveston and Houston during the
excessively hot weather, and is doing
so now, besides regularly supplying
stores in Dallas, His wagons go
around town full of bright, clean cans
which are encased in cloth jackets
preventing the rays of the sun from
raising the temperature of the milk
while being delivered-this example
being also followed by the other en-
terprising dairymen of the city.

Swept Into the Stream.
One Thousand Acres of Land and
'sRlght Smart of Bears

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat

North: "When / was twelve years old

That was mighty good plantation, and there

T Texans sa ma will !. : - -.

as to what is agfe1zs1 ST. Louis.
There is one proposition, however,
which all Texans may readily accede
to. It's one which contemplaJes no
embargo on our beef; it is one which
will open the way for the transporta-
ton of meat for the world from our
rich pastures. This popular belief
about the transmission of mala-
rial fever through the agency
of healthy animals may be based upon
falsehcod; it may be a purpose to
prejudice people against Texas cattle
for the financial benefit CT other peo-
pie; it may be cunning faisehood of
the northwestern breeders, who have
stocked up on Texas cattle, and who
never abused or objected to them
until they had supplied their demands.
Such reflections ought to convince
Texans that they ought to look out
for their own interests. The wisest
solution is not in the trail, but in the
raising and making of beef in Tex
as, to be shipped abroad
in vast quantities, fresh and unaffect-
ed by the drive, or by their shipping
to distant markets. If the Texans at
st. Louis do not see that things are
going to their satisfaction, let them
then and there resolve to stop moving
their surplus stock to the northwest
and themselves organize big corpor-
alton in Texas to kill and pack beef
for the markets of the world. There
is no reason why Texas refrigerated
beef should Tot he shin
ped from Galveston to Liv, :
pool and to London and to other great
consuming markets where beef sells
at enormous prices. A huge cor
poration in Texas could keep many
great steamships busy, crossing the
atlantic with packed beef. Organize
the packing company, and the steam
ship companies would bid for the
carrying trade. The profit would be
greater On dead meat sold across the
water than on live meat sold in the
| northwest.

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.

SaWdust, when used as substitute
for sand in houSe-plastering, is alleged
to impart very desirable properties tc
the plaster. 1t makes the covering

its nonconducting qualities it causes
the inner surface to retain the heat
which sand plaster allows to escape.

The celebrated English Psychologist,
DR.. !Carpenter, has proposed sub
Stantially new version of the germ
theory of diseases. He believes, from
observations based upon the muta-
billy of bacllli, that the same germs
may produce different diseases in diff
ferent constitutions, theory that is
corroborated, if not confirmed, by re-
cent observations, which show that
the bacteria of typhoid fever and ma
laria are of the same description.
The latest theory of malaria is that
the principal source of the fever and
exhaustion is to be sought in the
slowly but cumulatively poisonous
influence of the relatively large
amount of carbonic acid in the atmos-
phere of malarious districts, generated
by vegetable decay, by evaporation OF
soil moisture laden with it, or by up
turning earth saturated with that
compound. Recent measurements OF
the carbonic acid in the soil, as COM
pared with the amount present in nor
NAL atmosphere, have shown that
their relative proportions are as 25O
to one
