His New Enterprise Is Proving Very
Satisfactory.

E: W. McKenna, formerly general su-
perintendent Of the Great Northern
road, who left the service of the com
pany to enter an enterprise of his own
to rejuvenate steel rails, came to ST.
Paul yesterday from Chicago. Mr.. Nc
kenna is satisfied, after a test Of sew
eral months, that his process is quite
as much of a success as he ever ex-
pected. He says that thirty-five miles
or renewed rails have been given the
test of time on five different roads with
the most gratifying results. The ex-
detrimental plant, which has been closed
pending the test, will be reopened, as
will also other plants in Chicago and
other large cities near where the work
is to be done for roads with which Mr..
McKenna has contracts.

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Always strain milk rs soon as posi-.
BILE after milking.
Swimming the milk ut the right time
often prevents rancid butter.
The most restless cows in the herd arc
usually the least profitable.
The quality OF the salt has much to
DO with the finish of peiine butter.
Sometimes butter Is worked until
what was u fair article Is turned into
grease.
The whole OF the cream should be well
stirred every time that fresh cream Is
added.
II Is good plan to test each COW
separately, II there is any doubt as to
her performance.
Gilt edge butter cannot be made from
the milk Of cows that are fed largely
upon cotton seed meal.
One advantage with a well managed
creamery Is, that II provides an outlet
for all of the milk that can be produced
on the farm.
In order that the butter may have n
good flavor. the milk and cream should
be removed as fur from the odors Of the
kitchen rs possible.
A good COW, when In milking order, is
neither feshy nor scrawny, but In n good
thrifty condition, converting her food
into milk rather chan flesh.
Be sure that all the fences are up and
strong. II win prevent the cattle FROM
getting bad habits impossible to cure,
and, perhaps an expensive lawsuit.
Calves that are losing the hair about
the eyes may be subject to mild form
Of mango. Sulphur and lard rubbed on
the spots occasionally will effect cure.
To mend holes In the milk pans, make
the hole larger by inserting fork
tine, which will make the edge rough
so II will hold shot In place, then pound
fat with hammer. resting the pan on Q
flatiron.-Rural World.

the harrow is not used, and used thor

IL when the silo Is filed the moisture

breaking.
To hold the slaves in place during
the summer when the silo may be emp.
ty, one mny use large staples, such as
are employed in the construction OF
barb-wire fence. These staples should
be driven In SC that they will overlap
the crack, one prong being inserted in
one stave, the other prong being in
sorted in the adjoining stave. by this
simple method, when the silo dries out,
the slaves will be held firmly In place,
and there will be no danger Of the silo
falling to pieces.
The doors may be constructed IN the
following manner: Pieces similar 70
the felly OF a wagon wheel are nailed to
the outside OF the silo between the

the door is sawed out SO that 1t can be
removed only from the inside. Aspace
three feet wide will usually be found
large enough for the door. The cut
made by the saw ut each end will per-
init the insertion OF piece OF tnrred
paper when the door Is put In place.
The sides OF the door may be plnned
off slightly so that piper may be put in

no better or more economical way Of

which had been beveled at the mill for
the purpose
The foundation was made OF concrete
and upon this the slaves were set. The
circular form WINS obtained by simply
mailing barrel slaves on the outside to
mold them In place until the hoops could
be put on. The use Of barrel slaves In
this manner saved the making OF q
frame around which to build the silo.
The hoops or bands should be mndc
Of galvanized iron, the size being about
one-bolf inch in diameter, and these
should be put on at a distance OF three
to three and half feet apart, one being
placed within IS inches Of the top and
bottom OF the silo.
The method OF keeping these bands
tight and Of taking up the slack due
to the shrinkage of the slaves Is o very

The history Of dairying in Wisconsin
is an interesting one. When farmers,
tired of growing Indifferent crops at low
prices, were about to give up discoui-
aged, they were induced to turn their
attention to cheese and butter making.
To-day the business has grown to great
proportions. Within q radius OF ten
miles Of Burlington there are now
81 creameries, and they are found in
numbers throughout the southern part
Of the state, and general prosperity
has followed. Butter and cheese and
