The Winter Dairy Cow.

One Of the things that are past find
ing out, says the noted dairyman, John
Gould, is why so many dairymen who
depend on the cows they own for their
living and prosperity, are so negligent
in the fall months about their care!
That so many men who profess to
know all about darying'' should fail
to provide generous rations of some
sort for October and November, and
above all, shelter from the cold driving
storms. passes all comprehension. The
past October had twenty-seven stormy
days, three of which were very bad,
driving snou-storms-and the herds
that were stabbed nights through this
bad weather do not need a Ropes
lightning calculator to enumerate them.
The farmer keeps cows for the milk
that they give, and yet he let's them
Craze on summer-picked and FROST
burned pastures without extra feed
expecting that this mother cow, out of
a scanty living and laboriously gath
cred, can and will, after she has taken
the food of support and labor of COL
lecting, give to him a generous, paying
flow of milk. The peculiar thing about
IL IS that nine out Of ten men will tell
you that it is feed that makes the
breed, and that their cows are as good
as any If fed high, and go on hugging
this profitable 60 delusion to keep 1t
safe, and yet forget to feed this cow up
to that limit of production, and put it
to a practical test. If it is feed that
makes the breed and one COW is as
good as another-if fed as highly
then these men are paying a fearful
tax to this delusive idea, and sustain
ing loss that, if better judgment were
used, would be turned into a profta-
BILE revenue.
The fast changing Into winter and
all-the-year dairying must avoid all
this loss Of unnecessary shrinkage OF
the milk yield. 1t is now but little bet
ter than a crime to allow a preventa-
BILE loss to occur. Abundant food, a
good stable, and protection from chilly
winds and beating storms will prevent
shrinkage of milk, and often show alb
solute gain in yield. 1t is not luck that
counts, but deliberate, calculating

The twilight gathers round us
The sun has sunk to rest:
The flowers close their petals
AS the light fades in the west
The days are growing shorter /.
Soon the summer sun will set,
Soon the flowers will have faded
And sunk 10 their winters rest
Our lives are growing shorter
AS the days are passing by,
And the time is drawing nearer
When wen meath the green sod lie.
Will we all be reunited
In the city of the dead,
If we've bravely followed
Where'er our Savior led?
Will we when lfe's work is over,
When the sun sinks in the West,
When our weary hands are folded,
In the silent church yard rest?
With the loved ones who have left us?
With the friends of other days?
VIII we in the calm, still city
Sleep till judgments rays?

smol,eIess Powders.

Smokeless powders, the Times-Democrat
assure its readers. are not absolutely, but
only comparatively smokeless. Ignition or
explosion is always attended with a faint
blush puff, but is so slight and so evan
escent that il can hardly be seen at short
distance and almost Immediately disap-
pears.
The U. S. navy department has invented
and uses a smokelesS powder of its own
known as the navy VI compound" Like
the English cordite IL is of twisted maca-
roni form and possesses great stability,
changes of temperature, even violent
ones, scarcely affecting its perceptibility.
1t is also perfectly safe to handle. its chief
drawback being that its 'balistic strength
is not as great as that of some European
powders.

A Few Dou'ta.

Don't let your colt run unhoused all
winter to an old straw stack to tougher
him.
Don't hitch him at first to a load
which the other horses cannot pull when
ne holds back or hold back when he
pulls.
Don't forget when breeding that the
law of reproduction as laid down In the
first chapter OF Genesis has not yet been
abrogated.
Don't pasture your colts. if you can
help it. in a field where the fence is Just
about high enough to teach them to
jump nicely.
Don't forget when dealing with them
that a little temper is good thing, so
good that you ought never to lose ii.
Don't hit your horse with a bride
when you turn him loose I'm the field.
Don't place your main reliance on dogs
and stones when driving them to or
from pasture.
Don't neglect to occasionally take an
ear of corn along when going through
the pasture, whether you wish to catch
a horse or not.
Don't yell; it will make you red in the
face

Horse Notes.

The best way to Judge the feeding Of
your horses is to imagine yourself In
their places for awhile.
Avoid all unnecessary worry. An ex-
cited horse will become over-heated
quicker than one that is quiet
New hay has not the substance in it
that old hay has. In feeding it to the
working horses bear this in mind.
A horse can stand the hot sun II
there is a good air going. 1t is the still.
sultry hot days that do the damage.
Make the rest that you give your
horses "unadulterated" rest. To stand
still and fight the flies does not rest
horse very much.
Flies are worse in August than any
other month in the year. It is your
duty to keep your horses as free from
these pests as possible.
A good breeze in the stable TO cool
out the teams is Of about as much i'm
portance as good food or water. A meal
will do much more good if the animal
is comfortable while taking it.
Make the fences under the shade trees
in the pasture fields doubly strong. The
horses will rub them down if you don't.
1t will be easier to fix them up now
than after the horses have learned thu
trick of getting out of the pasture.
The farmer that goes out OF the
month Of August with as many horses
as he had at the first of the month does
well. The farmer that has his horses
in as good condition the last Of August
as they were at the first does better.
You can tell how much hard work
your teams can stand in hot weather
better if you are doing hard work your
self. To sit on a machine or vehicla
and drive gives you an advantage that
should be taken into consideration in
this matter.
Short breathing spells in hot weather
are better than long rests for the hard
working horses. If you want TO give
your team but thirty or sixty minutes
out of a half day for rest il will be bet
ter to break it up into short periods
rather than give it to them all at one
time.

the snow from blowing of, shield the
young plants. Coarse manure does well,
If care is taken TO place it between the
rows, or very lightly on the plants.
One Of the safest Of all covers is the
branches Of evergreens. They may be
applied thicker than other substances,
because they never smoother the plants.
Some winters are more severe on
straw berries than others, but il is al

Covering Strawberries.

There are several substances COM
monty recommended for covering straw
berry plants for winter protection. 1t
is we'll to know what should not be
used. Anything which may exclude the
air and smother the plants should be
avoided, such as a thick coat of straw
which when wet with rain or melting
snow will settle down compactly. Saw
dust, sometimes recommended, is quite
unfit for the purpose. Rye straw, which
is stiff, is much better. and IL put on
thiniy, affords good protection. Corn

who Invented the Steamboat.

1t is asserted that facts show that Samuel
Morey of Fairlee, VT, was the first man
who ever invented, built and run a steam
boat. There is vague impression that
Morey made some sort of an attempt to
run a steamboat on the Connecticut river

that besides his experiments there at his
own home he ran steamboat from Hart
Bordentown, n. J.. a larger boat, which
he ran between that place and Philadel-
phia. A model of his boat was exhibited
in New York city, and his invention at

A Back Number Makes Trouble.

a very funny occurrence took place re-
Gently in southwestern Oregon near the
Del Norte county line. The Crescent City
Record publishes each week a baton or
years ago. A short time since the story of
the famous Indian massacre of settlers on
the klamath river was recounted. y sub
scriber to the Record living at Gold Beach,
Ore, read the blood-curdling story, but
neglected TO notice that 1t was an event
that occurred almost forty years ago.
F'ancying that the massacre had but just
taken place and there was danger of a gen.
eral outbreak, he at once proceeded to
rouse the neighborhood. Notices were
posted. a public meeting called and a cont
pany of volunteers organized to proceed at
once to take the field against the blood
thirsty Indians. Finally the idea struck
some one that il would be we'll to commu-
nieate with Crescent City and ascertain
the exact state of affairs. The fact was
then developed that the originator of the
movement was nearly four decades behind
in history.-San Francisco Chronicle.
