Don't make your cows drink water
that you could not drink yourself.
Don't feed a calf grain before its age
is sufficient SO it chews cud.
Do,,'t try to be called large dairy
man by the number of cows you keep.
Don't keep a COW month without
testing her to see if she pays her way.
Don't think that strainers or sepa-
rators can take soluble filth out OF
milk.
Don't run or worry cows going to
and from the pasture or in the milking
yard ~ stable. =.
Don't think to raise calf for mich
cow and feed it up to its time of partu-
rition for beef animal
Don't have pastures so short that
cows must work every hour of tn. day
and u:ght to get enough to eat.
Don't forget that a cow is decidedly
a creature of habit and in oil ways try
to conform to her peculiar habits. e.
Don't feel that your cows are wasting
time if they lie in the shade and chew
their cud for few hours each day. ~..>
Don't leave COWS with cracked or sore
teats day after day and then beat them
because they kick while being MIXED.

tween Chicago and New York is 700
miles; by rail it is o61 miles. From Buff
falo to New York tits 2g5 miles in an air
line, 422 miles by rail. Why. our coun-

According to Footlights there never
was an actress who could command her

After few performances Barnes no.
ticed that the beautiful pale blue silk
IN the front of the jacket was stained
in some way. There were long streaks
in it, which he could not account for.
That night Miss Nelson and he were
in one of their pathetic love scenes.
Her head rested on his breast. She
looked up. turned her face to the audi

into most tumultuous applause. When
she turned her face toward Barnes
again he saw the tears streamingdown

and saw the cause OF the stains. There
were several fresh wet streaks on the
handsome pale blue silk made by
Juliet's tears. Barnes tried to hold
her head away from him. but the cos

was q striped instead Of plain blue

is as good a nonconductor as anything,

Tuberculosis in Calves.

In some of the experiments in Iowa
it is found that calves'born from tuber-
culous mothers, when allowed to take
milk from their mother developed tub
erculin, but when raised on milk known
to be healthy, did not become affected
with the disease. This has raised the
question whether the children of CON,
sumptive parents could not escape the
diease if at once removed from their
care. The point is an interesting one,
as it involves the question of inherited
tendencies, and we hope that scientists
will cndeavor to shed more light upon
it.

practicable in Nebraska. The
Lehi factory sells all It's product
in Utah at hom one dollar to two
dollars hundred higher than the

Nebraska. The Utah factory
has the advantage over Nebraska
factories in the higher freight
rates from either the Pacific or
Atlantic coast" The Bee must
be very ignorant or a terrible liar
to print such stuff because there
is no truth in it. The Mormon
women and children do not work
in the fields, but the work is done
by men and boys as il is in Ne

control the price of sugar but sells
