Home Dairying.

unless the patrons do their part as III
should be done, and their part is to fur
nish milk or cream, as the case may be,
in thoroughly good condition. But the
trouble is to get them all to do it, hence
the maker at butter or cheese factory
finds his efforts to produce thoroughly
good article many times fruiTless because
of the incompetency or Indifference Of q
certain per cent of his patrons. 1t is
because of this that the home dairy,
where the control of all condition from
the breeding and rearing of the selection
OF the herd, together with the care of it,
to the marketing of the product is di-
rectly under the control of the dairy
farmer and in most cases actually con-
Quoted by himself and his family.
1t would be hard to find one among
the farmers Of an average community
who has not already made start in
dairying at least to the extent of having
on his farm few COWS. 1t is true that
in many localities in the West that only
a small per cent of the cows kept are
MIXED but this condition is not as fire.
quently found as it was ten years ago
and another. ten years will still greatly
reduce the number of cows that are
used only to raise their calves.
Having few COWS to start with, the
first thing is to ascertain their value as
judged by their ability to produce but
ter fat. Fright here will say this paper
is intended to be devoted to the butter
side of the home diary. No cow should
be retained in the herd whose milk will
not yield at least $50 pounds of butter
per year. The cow that produces only
100 pounds of butter per annum does
little or no more than to pay her own
expenses. The Babcock test can be
used to good advantage to determine the
butter value of each individual cow, or
the milk of each individual herd can be
set by itself. and the cream from it
churned separately. But it takes the
entire year to determine the holding out
ability of each individual cow. This
like the ability to produce butter fat is
a matter of determining and selecting.
While there are several breeds of dairy
COWS the two leading breeds for butter
dairying are the Jersey and the Guern-
sey, but the former has longer been
bred in this country and is the more
common. Either breed is good enough.
Grades of either breed are for all prac-
tical purposes good enough, if good in
dividuals.
Starting with such COWS as one has,
which many times may be of no par lieu.
lar breed, the aim should be to make
the herd better by the use of thorough
bred male of such butter breed as you
may prefer, or be more easily obtained.
In this connection will mention another
breed of dairy cattle-the Swiss. This
breed leans toward the butter side of
dairying, hence male of it improves
ones herd for butter making.
But it must not be understood that
the three breeds of cattle thus far menr
toned are the only ones that can be
kept, either pure, or grades for butter
making. The Holstein breeders make,
and with a good showing of evidence on
which to base same, claims for that

Whereas, 1t is evident to all thought
full citizens that the demonetization law
of 1873, followed by other legislation
hostile to silver, has produced a con-
traction OF the currency of the nation,
which has caused an increase in the
purchasing power of gold, a correspond
ing Shrinkage in the values of property
decline in the prices of labor and all
its products, and has increased the bur-
dens of the debts and taxes of the peo-
pie; and
Whereas, The struggle which has been
and is now being made to fasten upon
this nation the single gold standard
must continue to result in business de-
preston, individual bankruptcy and
widespread disaster; and
Whereas, The masses of the people
comprising the age-earners the farm
ers and the merchants have been ignored
by that financial legislation which Gre
ates rising dollar and constitutes a
continual violation of that cardinal
principle of the peoples government,
the greatest good to the greatest num-
ber;" and
Whereas, The time has come when
American citizenship should cooperate
for the general good the restoration of
fair prices and just government
Resolved, That, discading all parti-
sanship, we extend the hand of fellow
ship and call upon our fellow citizens
TO unite with us in the great cause which
now inspires the hearts Of millions of
American freemen in opposing and pre-
venting the further encroachments and
assaults of greed and selfishness on the
rights of the people and upon the life
and property of the nation.
Resolved, That we see in the noble
character and high ideals of William ].
Bryan of Nebraska man worthy of
the confidence of all the people, and we
welcome him as sure hope for the sue
cess and triumph of popular rights over
error and injustice.
Resolved. That this association shall
be known as the Byan Silver club Of
South Pasadena. and that we cordially
invite all citizens of South Pasadena
without regard to former political affil-
iations, to unite with us in this common

of about an hours length His argu-
ments were we'll backed by authorities

Frank A. Cattern, Esq, q recent cit
izen of this municipality, called the
