Gen. Neal Dow's Birthday

A steady stream of callers passed in
and out of the Dow mansion yesterday
to congratulate the General on attaining
his 9Snd birthday. The General appeared
to be enjoying the best Of health and was
in excellent spirits. Among the congrat-
ulatory messages that he received were
kindly greetings from Lady Henry Som
erset, Frances Willard and hundreds of
others interested in the temperance
cause. Rev. Francis e. Clark sent words
of greeting in behalf of the Christian En-
deavorers. The General said he never
felt better in his life.

Ten IncneS Long ana AN lncn Oeep-1h-
ficted On Frank True's Horse While in
the Stall.
Frank True of Deering left his b orse
at Ed. Libby's stable on Cumberland
street Thursday, as is his custom. When
he came for him late in the afternoon to
drive home, he found that the horse had
received severe cut extending across the
upper part of the fore leg, just below the
shoulder and partially across the breast.
The cut was done with some sharp in
strument and was at least.ten inches long
and perhaps an inch deep. How it was
done is mystery. There was nothing in
the stall that could have done it and an
other curious thing about it, Is that no
blood could be found in the stall. Yet
Mr.. True declared that the horse was not
gut when he brought him there in the
morning.
DIR. L ord was summoned and the wound
was sewed up. 1t will DISABLE the b orse
for some time. The out was undOubted-
ly done Intentionally, but why or how
is q mystery.

Don't be surprised to hear the old
refrain farming don't pay" from the
man who keeps a full stock of clubs
and whips in his milking stable.
Don't fool yourself in believing a
man or boy with club is as econom-
ical as a handful of meal in the man
ger.
Don't undertake to tell me your
COWS are doing their best when you
appear in the field they start for the
other end of the field with their tails
in the air.
Don't forget that the cow is bo-
vine mother, and is entitled to the
kindest of treatment at your hands.
Don't be surprised when you learn
that a kick or cruel blow has nearly
ruined your best COW,
Don't allow yourself to believe any
dog other than we'll trained shep-
ard has any place in a herd of dairy
COWS.
Don't expect full returns in milk
without feeding every month in the
year.
Don't loose sight of the fact that
the time is rapidly coming when all
milk will be paid for on the basis of
the butter fat it contains.
Don't attempt to close your eyes to
the fact that this rule is already in
operation at most of the frst-class
creameries, and other milk receiving
stations.
Don't fail to remember that with
the strong competition of to-day, sue
cess only comes with the exercise of
closest ceremony.
Don't say because your farm is bet
ter adapted to grass than corn grow
ing, that man is a fool who puts in a

Don't say successful dairying can
not be carried on without the silo, for
scores of dairymen have made grand
success who never had one.
Don't be foolish enough to believe
you will ever bring the whole world

Don't forget that building paper or

much cheaper than grain feed.
Don't forget that it takes two-thirds

our only profit comes from what we
feed above this.
Don't fail to note that the intelli-

to buy COWS, to find from three to
fifteen in each herd that never paid
for their board.
Don't fail to consult your own
judgement in buying COWS.
Don't expect a 5000 pound COW
of yearly milk supply that is six
inches deeper through chest than she
is just forward of the udder.
Don't forget that the great perform
ers have invariably been of the dairy
form.
Don't reject COW simply because
she may lack in few minor points.
Don't be surprised at the compare
lively small number of COWS you find
that come up to your ideal of perfect
FORM" Public attention has but re-
Gently been called especially to this.
Don't feel satisfied with your dairy
knowledge, until you can go into any
herd and select the five best COWS.
Don't say this cannot be done.
Don't ask me to tell you all you
ought to know about selecting the
dairy cow, for l cannot do it.
Don't forget that your thoroughbred
sire is sure to produce his own like
ness, to large degree, and not less
in form than other things.
Don't ask me to believe this is not
50; for years ago the first thoroughbred
Jersey bull I ever owned, was one of
your round, slim bodied fellows, and
his get were all like him. Not good
feeder or performer did I raise.
Don't forget to inquire into his
family history, and the better their
record the more he will be worth to
you.
Don't always discard calf from
COW that does not quite come up to
your ideal. The calf may far exceed !
its mother.
Don't be surprised if you fail some
time to secure good COW by the use
of thoroughbred sire, coupled with
a COW you know to be asuperior one.
1t is one of the mysteries difficult to
explain.
Don't forget that it is possible to so
treat the calf up to two years of age
as to destroy it's usefulness.
Don't forget that period of star

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 7.-Scattering
returns received show that Bryan and
Sewal have carried Colorado by over

CHAPTER OF DON'TS.
Some Things You Should Not Do
to Make Dairying
Success.
Instructive Points in Connection
with Dairy Farming You
Should Know.

Through the kindness and with the
aid of Mr.. III. N. Bixby, buttermaker
of the Morris Creamery Association,
we will be able to give the farmers
who are interested in the dairy bust
ness and others an article on dairying
occasionally through the winter. We
commence this week with an impor-
tant article on the dairy herd, which
we have no doubt will be read with
interest by all farmers.
Don't you believe it, when some one
tells you, those who are appointed to
take more active part in dairy con-
ferences, think they know it all; on
the contrary if you will come and
freely relate your own experience, not
one of them but that will learn some
thing from you.
Don't be afraid to relate any facts
with which you may be familiar, be-
cause some trained speaker could do
it more easily.
Don't fail to ask questions, fearing
someone will expect you to answer
them if no one else can.
Don't come to dairy conference
expecting even the director to be able
to solve every problem, for even he
will come to learn.
Don't say Farm Institutes are a
nuisance and waste of public money,
until you are more thoroughly posted
on the mysterious problems that puz-
zIe the heads of our best learned men.
Don't attend the institute at all, in
fact-if you feel yon know all there is
to be known about dairy farming.

Ex- Consul General to Havana Working in

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Morning
Advertiser says; 1t is reported in this
city that the ex-consul general to Ha-
vana, Ramon o. Williams, might be
expected here from Europe in about 10
days. Although the fact of Mr.. Will
Jams presence in Spain escaped the
vigilance of the newspaper correspond

theless true that he has been in Madrid
for three weeks past and in the imme-
date circle of his family, it was an
nounced that he was to leave for New
York by one of the North German
liners ON Saturday last.
While the fact cannot, for obvious
reasons, be definitely learned, it is
generally believed by his personal
friends that Mr.. Williams visit to
Madrid has been made

Some close personal friends of the ex-
consul general make no secret of their
belief that his mission to Spain was to
sound the Spanish government, and, in
conjunction with Minister Taylor, to
procure a friendly settlement of tho diff
iculties with Cuba
1t was even stated that Mr. Williams
was authorized to favor negotiations

This is plain because every organ in the

Probable Motive OF veteran James

The probable motive for the suicide Of
Veteran James Lown developed today. AS
told In The Morning Times he took big
dose of morphine and then turned on the
gas, at the Oronoco House, No. 6Oi Penn

The motive for the deed is believed to be
