Are They Appreciated !

As its readers well know the Venture has
always been the fast friend aud advocate Of any
and all industrial movements spoken of or
attempted since the paper has been in existence,
and yet with all of our friendship, after we have
expended column after column of space on ad-
yocating contemplated industries, we very much
doubt if those efforts were appreciated. We
have in our mind certain instance where we
labored in the office and out of il in the interest
of locating certain business in Van Buren. and
the city secured the institution. We devoted
several columns to this effort, and never let an
opportunity pass to speak good word for the
movement. On yesterday, in glancing over our
exchanges we discovered large advertisement
of this same institution in one of them which no
doubt costs considerable money. Up to this
time though repeatedly solicited, not a cent has
the institution spent with us not even to sub
scribe for the poper We care nothing for the
business that mi ght come to us from this CON
Germ and only speak of it to show how little
some people appreciate assistance, or praise the
bridge that pl4ces them in safety across the
stream.-Venture.

Easy to Build When You Know How and
This Tells You How.
1t was between my house and my
fathers, about twenty rods. The
barns are situated midway. The tele-
phones are made of cigar boxes. The
line wire consists of two strands OF
steel binder wire twisted. The cigar
boxes must be tight and strong. We
nailed the cover down first, using small,
fine wire brads. In the center of the
1over hole one and one-fourth inches
in diameter was bored with sharp
bit. This for the front side. In the
center of the bottom hole was bored
one-half inch in diameter.
A hole three-fourths inch in diameter
was bored through the wall, or casing,
where 1t was desired to locate the tele.
phone. A small board the same size OF
the cigar box bottom, one inch thick,
was cut out, and screw put into each
corner. A hole ee-fourths inch in
diameter was bored in the center. This
board was placed on the wall and the
cigar box placed over 1t, the four cor
ners resting on the four screws. These
screws should project about one-halt
inch, and the box should rest squarely
on all four of them.
Now take one end of the twisted wire
and run from outside into the holes il
the wall, and through the board anC
cigar box. Twist the end of wire
around the center of a No. 20 wire
nail, then have an assistant outside
draw on the wire until the nail il
drawn taut across the box cover.

wire in second telephone The boxes
should stand nearly perpendicular, and
the large wire nails lie horizontally
across the holes and box covers. Now
shift the boxes aud boards so that the
wire will be in the center of all the
holes. The wire must not be allowed
to touch the wood at any point. To
prevent this it must be necessary to
use small pieces of Irvine as guys, just
outside the walls, to hold the wire
away from the wood.
To secure the proper tension to the
line wire, now go down the line part
way and draw it one side. Then fasten
with Irvine and your telephone is built
ready for use. This works on the

A Profitable Dairy Cow

A profitable dairy COW is one that
yields not less than 600 gallons of milk
year, the milk containing not less
than per cent. of butter fat A COW
yielding 600 gallons year ought to
give during the Is earlier weeks of her
milk-how about 40 gallons, which, at
the rate of pound of cheese to each
gallon Of milk, would amount, after
allowing for shrinkage, to cwt
of cheese. And if the milk Is
for the butter dairy, the produce OF
600 gallons containing per cent of fat
ought to be $40 pounds of butter. The
best means of developing and improv-
ing the milking capacity of cows are
selection and breeding. The lives OF
good mixers should be preserved as
long as possible. Statistics show that
of all the animals subjected during the
last eight or nine years to public test
at milking trials those which were
over six years old gave from 30 to %
per cent. more milk and from 20 to d
per cent richer milk than those under
that age.-Farm and Home.

REMOVE THE HORNS.
Full Account of the Dishorning OF Herd
of Dairy Cows,

OF DAIRY VOWS,
Dishorning cattle has become GUS
tom whicE is very common in nearly
all parts of the country, and although
there are some people who make
great cry of cruelty the practice is
rapidly spreading, and a few years
hence horns will be as rare as their alb
sence has been in the past.
Not long ago we had our herd OF
thirty-two cows and heifers dishorned,
and it may be of interest to your read
ers to know the result of such pro-
ceeding upon cows in milk. The in
strument used was one that works with
knife moved by lever, and which
takes horn off in less than a second
after the animal is secured for opera.
ton. The cows were put in stanchion.
one at time. In front of them COM
mon hay fork hook had been screwed
to the floor, and with a rope and one of
the nose rings which pinch the nose
but do not cut it, the heads were drawn
down by the attendant and held while
the operator took off the horns. The
whole thing took less time for each
COW than it does to tell it. The rope
was loosened and the animal released.
The blood flowed, of course; and for a
few days they presented sorry APP
pearance as to their heads, but they
never lost meal, nor did they shrink a
pound in their milk by the operation.
AS is usual with herd of cows, the
timid ones were always worried by the
boss cows, and there was more or less
hooking, resulting once or twice in the
premature birth of calf and other
mishaps of less serious nature. Now
all that is changed. Quietly and or
derby they go to and from pasture.
There is no hooking in passing through
gates, and if COW gets loose in the
night she does the rest no damage.
Ofcourse we hated to see the horns go,
some of them were SO pretty; but they
will look just as pretty and be put to
better use when polished and mounted
for hall rack We have come to the
conclusion that cows have To use for
horns anyway 1t would be better to
prevent the horns from growing at all
perhaps, and this can be successfully
done by rubbing the tiny horn buttons
of the young calves with piece Of
caustic potash slightly moistened, care
being taken to touch nothing but the
part to be destroyed. If properly
done, the horns will not grow.
There is notice, some talk of breed
ing the horns off, but when we con
slider that countless generations o.
sheep have had their tails cut off, anC
that no lamb has ever been known t.
be born tailless, it does not seen
probable that it will be success
Perhaps some will say, why not keeI
cattle that are naturally hornless'
But dairymen who know the possibili
ties of the Jerseys or Guernseys will b.
slow to give them up, or to mix the
breed with the muleys. To them
would say, take off the horns and / an
sure you will not regret it.-Ella Rock

A Yale Professors Kindly Treatment by
the Indians who Killed Custer.
One very peculiar characteristic of
the Indian" said Maj Barbour, for
mer plainsman, sis his reverence,
amounting to absolute fear in many in
stances, of an insane person They
never harm one whom they believe to
be mentally afflicted. remember one
striking instance which will illustrate
l was member of the expedition
headed by Gen. Custer that made
tour through the Yellowstone valley
and that section of the country the
year before the Custer massacre. 1t
was put on foot in the interest of SCI
ence, and we had lot of fellows from
the Smithsonian Institution and about
dozen Yale professors
1t was big party, comprising two
or three companies of cavalry, one of
infantry and some artillery, so the
Sioux, who at that time SIM
ply swarmed lover that country,
were afraid to tackle us. But
they hung around us all the time, and
Gen. Custer gave orders, after two men
who were hunting had been killed,
that no one should leave the camp
without permission.
Those Yale professors just worried
the life out of the soldiers. Every pro-
lessor had detail of five men who had
to watch him. They would go around
picking up bugs and chasing butterflies
all over the prairie and would break up
rocks and powwow over them with
magnifying glasses until the soldiers
swore that every man of them was a
bowling idiot
One day the worst old fellow in the
crowd, who wore two pairs of glasses,
one red and one green, managed in
some way or other to get out of the
sight of his detail and wandered two or
three miles away. He ran plump into
a gang of Sioux. He walked up to
them and offered to shake hands. They
grabbed him, and the first thing they
did was to dive down into a big green
baize bag he carried. They pulled out
lizards, and pieces of clay, and bits OF
rock, and bugs, and the worst assort-
ment of truck imaginable. Just about
this time the professor caught sight OF
peculiar'looking bug. lie caught it,
pulled out his glass and began to study
it. That settled it An Indian took
him by the hand, led him to hill close
