Our PaternalIstlc Experiment.

Recently the ADVOCATE called at
tentiOn to an excellent movement on
the part of the Government of the
United States, through the Department
of Agriculture, to secure a market
abroad for American butter. We now
have the following information on the
result through the following dispatch
from Washington:
"The results Of the first shipment of
butter ever made by this Government
to foreign markets, this time to Eng
land, have been communicated to Sec
retary Of Agriculture Wilson in an
official report from those who managed
the experimental importation. The
data are of significance to dairy inter
ests as an indication of what may be
expected In the development of mar
kets abroad for their products. The
report says it Is evident that unless the
retailers can be reached without much
extra expense on transportation, so
that the relative prices can berealized,
Western cresmeries cannot yet afford
to consider the question Of exporting
their products. Two lots of butter
were sent, made at Ames, Iowa, and
Cornish, N. H. All was made last
April, between hay and grass the
most difficult season for making butter
OF high flavor and good keeping quail
ity. This product, therefore, was not
expected to give very satisfactory re-
suits as to quality of product OF finsn-
cially. Its main object was to serve as
a pioneer, and suggest points for Inn
proving the management Of trial ex-
ports to follow. The lots were
respectively fourteen and ten days
from the cresmeries. The most inter
estIng feature of the London sales is
that the English merchants are welded
to their hundredweight Ql2 pOunds) as
a unit of measure and to the half hun
dredWeight for q package of butter.
Packages exported st half hundred
weights should contain as nearly fifty.
six pounds as possible or what will
weigh that at the English market.
The rate of shrinksge remains to be
determined. Opinions of English
judges indicate that one-qusrter ounce
Of salt TO the pound of butter will be
enough to use for this market. Cubical
boxes were much preferred by the
wholesalers. Small packages were not
In favor with them, and although scOr-
ing high as to quality, the thirty pound
tubs (sOld as quarters Of twenty. eight
pounds) brought only III cents per
pound, and five-pound boxes and prints
less than l6 cents. The wholesalers
paid 18 1-5 cents for the Iowa butter In
cubical boxes, and for the Identical
butter In Welch, or sixty pound cream
cry tubs, they paid only l715 cents, be-
sides the gain of at least four pounds
per tub In taking these tubs at fifty-six
pounds net weight. One merchant,
who was an exception, took two tubs
at actual net weights and paid only
1616 cents, paying 10 and Is l-5 cents
at the same time for two cubicsl boxes

INDIVIDUALITY AND CULLING THE
HERD BY IT'S RECORD.
AS soon as the herd 10 established
and in working order, the study Of
every Individual animal should begin.
To guide rational treatment and insure
greatest profit. the owner must become
familiar with the Characterization Of
every cow. Pecullaritles of tempera-
ment, susceptibility to surroundings
and varied conditions, and especially
the dairy capacity Of the animal,
should be matters Of observation, de-
liberation and record, not merely Of
conjecture and memory. The record
of the herd is a matter of utmost Inn
portanca. The system Of record should
conform to the circumstances of the
case and extent of the business. Ut Is
desirable to reduce the labor Of book
keeping to q minimum, and yet sccu-
racy and sufliclency Of record must be
secured. Fortunately, inexpensive
forms can now be found for sale, which
are based upon long experience, and in
variety TO suit different wants) The
record should include a concise history
and description Of every member Of
the herd, with summary Of the dairy
performance. The latter requires q
daily record Of the milk yield Of every
cow, with notes explaining irEegulari-
ties or occurrences Of interest. If the
quality of the milk is a matter Of any
Importance, as 1t is In most cases, and
ought to be, however the milk is dis
posed Of, fat test should be made of
the milk Of every cow, for several con-
secutive milkings, as often as prsc-
ticable. Some form Of the Babcock
tester is the simplest and now within
the reach of every dslryman, Ac-
cording to the size of the apparatus, q
certain number Of milk samples can
be tested at one time, and thus the
record of a large herd can be completed
in a few days, H. is we'll to make this
test and record Of the quality Of every
cows milk at least once o month. The
most satisfactory practical record is
the average percentage Of fat found In
the milk of several successive milkings,
samples from which may be mixed
and this composite sample" tested,
thus obtaining the average; the method
is easily learned and praCticed. This
record of quality, taken periodically,
Joined with q summary of the daily
quantity Of milk, gives a full dairy
record Of the cow, upon which her
value can be readily computed. To
give the owner q more complete knowl-
edge Of his operations, there should
also be a record, of at least approx
mate accuracy, of the food OF every
cow, with monthly summaries Of guam
titles Of value, so that the economy Of
production may be shown.
Such records ore far more easily
made than the description may indi.
cate, and are we'll worth sll they cost.
They form Che only accurate and safe
basis for judging of the individual
merits Of the different animals. The
improvement Of every herd, which
should be the constant aim Of It's
owner, depends upon periodical Gull.

Simpson Asks o Question.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 13.--In the
House Of Representatives to-day, Mr..
Simpson (Pop. Kas) endeavored to re-
new his attack upon the Speaker for
failing to appoint committees and CEN
sured the Republicans for not mastering
a quorum. He was declaring that there
were more Demo rats and POpuIists than
Republicans present when the Speaker
sustained the point that he was out Of
order
II have been in doubt whether / had
any rights in this House lately" Mr..
Simpson shouted, and he was compelled
to take his seat under the rule.
Mr.. Payne rep, N. " called Mr..
Simpson to order, and to him the Kan
san stated: "The Speaker recognizes
that you will do his bidding, and you
will get a good place on a committee
all right. l know that there is a good
deal Of anxiety on that point among the
Republicans"
This moved Mr.. DinRley and w. A.
Stone (Rep. Pa. to call Mr.. Simpson to
order.
The question whether Mr.. Simpson
should be permitted to proceed in order
was put and many Republicans voted
"no" while others refrained from voting.
So Mr.. Simpson by vote Of so to 81 was
given the floor.
When he proceeded, however, his
statements caused the Speaker to de-
clare him out of order. Thereupon
several demands were made, protesting
against Mr.. Simpson being taken from
the floor. In explanation Mr.. Reed said:
"The chair submits to the House that
criticisms Of what the chair did at some
past time are not in order, not because
the chair is above criticism or above at
tack, but because the Speaker is the
Speaker Of the House and such state
ments are not conducive to order. II any
objection is TO be made to the Speakers
conduct, it can be made al the time and
direct"
There was some filibustering, after
which the House finally decided that Mr..
Simpson could not speak, whereupon he
appealed TO the chair to DO informed
"Where ann / atg"
1.-THE chair has never been able to find
anybody who knew chat, was the reply.

Are United States Senators Speculatlng In
Sugar StOckS
The following Associated Press dis
patch relates an interesting incident in
the Senate last Thursday:
After long period Of calm, the
Senate was considerably sgitated to-day,
first by discussion of the Senate sugar
investigation, and then by a preliminary
skirmish on the tariff bill. The resolu-
tion to bring Elverton r. Chapman be-
fore the bar Of the Senate was debated
in somewhat monotonous style until Mr..
Tillman Of South Carolina gave some
interest to the subject by referring to
the report that Senators, within the last
week, had speculated in sugar stock.
Mr.. Tillman when recognized FOR q
speech caused q distinct sensation on the
floor and in the galleries.
"It seems TO me-" said Mr.. Tillman,
shat we are not after Chapman. The
original investigation was not intended
to punish Chapman, but TO discover
whether any Senator on this floor had
been guilty ot asllis nis official position
to make money by speculating in stocks,
which were influenced by his action as
a Senator on the committee which re-
ported the tariff bill. 1t ia not worth
while to try to cover up this matter with
badinage and flippanCy. The Senator
from New Hampshire will excuse me.
do not intend that as any reflection upon
bis language, but it does appear to me
that he treated it rather flippantly,
"There are to-day in the newspapers
OF this country, charges floating about
and being sent broadcast signed by CORE
spondents in the gallery TO the effect that
last week, when the new tariff bill was
reported with changed sugar schedule,
three Senators had speculated in sugar
stock. We have another stencil on our
hands, and instead Of it being a differen-
tial Of third Of cent, it is now two
thirds in favor of the trust.
"There are two correspondents who
have over their own signatures charged
that Senators have speculsted withinthe
last week and made money. Now, if you
want to investigate, you have new
reason to investigate, II you intend to
get at the true inwardness Of the matter,
to get at the truth and to punish those
who are guilty, say so and do so, or else
hush.
"That is the whole sum and substance
Of it. We do not want Chapman. We
want Havemeyer. We want the man
who bought your men, IL they were
bought, That Is what we are here for;
and now let the Senator who has moved
to refer the matter, and who loves the
dignity OF the Senate as much ss any
other man, take the resolution to his
committee and bring back q measure
here that will mean something.
1--WE can now make those men who
have charged that Senators have specu.
lated say where they got the informa-
tion or we cam punish them for contempt.
Either investigate 10 AZ 90 lind the truth
