nairx Notes.

WHEN one finds hair in the butter
It is sufficient proof that that dairy is
badly managed. One act OF nncleanli-
ness is an indication that the whole sys-
TEN OF the management is defective.
1T is no more labor to make good
butter than poor. In fact the labor is
less when one has all the conveniences
and precautions against Impurities OF all
kinds are followed.
In cold weather the watering troughs
should be emptled and turned over in
the afternoon as soon as the cows are
stabbed. This will save much trouble
In the morning when the cows are to be
watered. ve
COW requires four feet Of width and
from four and one-half feet in length for
comfortable standing and lying room in
stall. To accommodate the different
sized cows the standing floor should
taper from four and one-half feet at one
end to five feet at the other
THE most comfortable fastening for q
cow is q strap around the neck with a
ring sown in it, to which is fastened by q
snap hook, short chain having a ring
in the end to slide up and down strong
post at the upper corner Of the stall.

Drying or

It is so often said that some cows can
not be dried off easily, and that they
will milk right up TO the next calving.
This is probably so, says Henry Stewart
In Practical Farming. because the milk
ing habit is encouraged injudiciously. 1t
is not difficult TO dry of any COW. The
feeding may be reduced down to timothy
hay only, and the milking may be so
managed as TO effect the desired re-
suit. Milking makes milk. The very
act Of milking causes the milk glands to
form milk.
To half milk cow, and to leave milk
In the udder, will tend to prevent the Sc
erection of the milk. Some of the milk
will be absorbed too, and IL only the I'D
der is kept half filed the product will
soon be reduced to a safe point, at which
the milking may be stopped altogether.
But 1t Is necessary that the reduction of
the milk in cows which yield large
quantity should be gradual and slow, and
hence it is best to begin at least two
months before the next calving, so that
two weeks may be taken TO dry off the
COW. Sudden changes are to be avoided.
Almost anything can be done safely IL
time enough is taken to accomplish the
object in view. But the first thing to be
done is to reduce the feed, stopping all
grain food and giving hay only, and the
next is, to partially milk the COW until 1t
is safe to milk once day only, and then
gradually reach the point when milking
may be suspended.

Denver Republican.
A tremendous waterspout, which
must have carried reservoir of water,
came with fearful velocity from the
southwest and broke with frightful eff
feet upon the brow of Semper hill, on
the Boulder branch of the Union Pa
cific, at 80 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Immediately after the gigantic
mass dissolved vast flood Of rushing
and Kissing water swept down the hill
toward the northwest, carrying every
thing in its path before its mad tide
with q fearful impetuosity-
earth, fenceS-eYery obstruction was
hurled wildly along in this great sky
wave.
For short period the entire popula-
ton of Clear creek valley was terror
lied, and the people of Arvada had an
idea that the judgment day was at hand.
Passengers on the incoming train
from Boulder probably had the best and
most vivid view of this startling freak
of nature. They beheld, about 4 o'clock,
Just as the train began to pull over the
hill from Boulder, a ballOon-shaped
mass, inky-black in color, which seemed
to blot out all of the western horizon, as
it moved rapidly over the hog-backs,
and almost dragged the convex point
against the earth. From its tapering
base to the vast summit, ending in the
clouds, the spout must have been of
enormous volume.
The train made rapid Roadway through
the rain, its passengers watching with
feverish interest akin to terror the
spout. From black it turned to dark
purple, and finally, just before the
train reached Semper, it broke against
the long ridge upon which Semper is
located. The sight was said to be one
of grandeur as the great mass dissolved
In a vast mist. When it struck ten
acres of earth were completely covered
with hailstoneS.
tees switch occur several large water
courses and the railroad passes through
a deep cut. These were filled with tor
rents of daShing mud and water when
the train passed them. The track was
covered with three feet of water and
through the cut it was higher, washing
clear across the steps of the cars.
The body at this point was over 500
yards in width and half-mile long, and
it appeared co the terroriZed passengers
to be washing every thing in the valley
out. 1t finally emptied into Clear
creek. A large portion of the old road
bed is washed out and several trains
were delayed during the evening on
account of dhe damage.

FREAKS OF THE WATERS.
Desert and Tulare Lakes Are Still
Puzzle.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July 9.-The des-
ert lake at Salton caused surprise yes
terday by the fact that the water re-
coded in the morning, but commenced
to rise again, showing that the limit has
not been reached. A dispatch received
from Salton yesterday afternoon said:
If the water comes from the Colorado
river there must now be enough be-
tween here and the river to nearly fill
this basin and most likely reach the
main line of the Southern Pacific. All
the fiat part of the basin is now covered
with water, and the depth will increase
much faster. Section men are making
effort to save the railroad spur, but the
water Is very hot and it is feared the
men cannot endure it. The water is
warmest at the bottom.
Two outfits we're started out by Supt.
Muir, of the Southern Pacific, yester-
day. one from Salton and the other from
Ogilbee. Both parties started in wag
ons, with a supply of water and pro-
visions, and they will make an effort to
locate the exact spot where the water
comes through the sand hills from the
Colorado river, or New river, as the case
may be. The Colorado river is almost
as high as it was last winter, on account
of melting snow in the mountains. The
operator at Salton telegraphed last night
that the water was rising very slowly,
and there was no danger of it reaching
the main track, as at the present rate it
will take six months to do so. and long
before that time, it is believed, the deS
ert will be dry from evaporation.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.-The shallow
stretch of water in Tulare county
known as Tulare lake is filling up. The
heavy fail of snow in the mountains
during last winter and the fact that the
soil is well soaked with water is one of
the causes given for the unexpected
rise. II. II. Freeman, who has ranch
On the lake, says the mouth of the
Tulare river, which flows into the lake,
is fully sixty feet wide, and twelve to
fourteen feet deep. Several houses
have been submerged, and large num-
Der of settlers have been driven to
higher lands. The lake has spread out
nearly ten miles, and has risen ten feet
so far this season. Travel around the
lake by the old road, which has been
used for years, is entirely cut off. All
the streams running across the valley
have been running bankful! the last
four or five months.
