pose OF the others.
2. The best COW for the dairy ia the
enc that produces the greatest mount
OF butter fat In n year tor food con-
sumed) when being rightly fed.
.. To renew or Increase your herd
raise the heller calves from your best
cows.
4. Test your cows by Weighing the
milk Of each COW for n yea- and testing
u occasionally with the Bahcock milk
tester. and know how much butter tat
each one does produce.
8. Use the best dairy bred sl-c you
can get; one, II possible. that has n
long line Of ancestors that have been
frst-class dairy animals.
6. Keep u record OF the time when
the cows are bred and have no guess
work about the time OF calving.
Z. II is neither profitable nor noces-
Bary for a COW to go dry more than
four TO six weeks.
s. The udder should receive prompt
attention. An obstacle may be re-
moved from the teat the first hour, that
might battle science later.
o. After separating the calf from its
mother. feed the natural milk Ms soon
AZ drawn. for week or ten days.
10. Don't milk the udder out clean
until the fourth day after calvinR.
This will often prevent a chill. which
often produces milk fever.

Profitable Cows,-Whlch is the most
profitable COW to keep? II is the cow
that produces the most at the least
cost. In the ninety days test at the
worlds fair the best COW cleared a
profit Of over S73 and the poorest a
profit of only S24. Turning now to the
food account, we find that the cost OF
food in both cases was practically the
same, yet one COW had the ability TO
make three times the profit upon prac-
tically the same food. There are cows
In every herd that have this ability;
find them out, In these days OF keen
competition we must reduce the cost
Of production, and this aspect OF the
question should always be taken into
consideration. -EX.

HE WORE OvERALLs.

But the Way He Twirled That Ball
Made the Opposing Team Weep.
From the Detroit Free Press
MY experience as a base ball manager
was down in the oil regions when money
was plenty and sporting blood was at fever
heat. The most formidable team with
which had to contend was in a neighbor-
Ing town, and whole fortunes changed
hands before the championship was deter
mined. The crowds were so strongly par
tfsan that a few dozen stalwart policemen
were always a necessity. We had to pay
umpires princely salaries, and 1 never
knew one OF them to preside at more than
a single game.
so close had been the seasons play that
we were tied with the decisive contest to
be had in our town. For some reason that
have never been able to fathom, three Of
my best players had disappeared and
among them our crack pitcher. l had
enough men. but they were not the right
men. guess that there must have been
wholesale toodling on both sides, for when
the opposing team came to count noses
they could find but eight. The flower OF
the flock was missing and our fellows felt
Jubilant. The enemy made a big effort to
defer the game, but the umpire. one Of our
selection. stood pat on the proposition that
they must either play or forfeit. Just to
choose any player they could find in the
enormous crowd, and they decided that
they would at least die fighting.
Their selection was a six-footer, slim as
lightning rcd, loose in every joint, red
headed. freckled and wearing a. Uniform
that consisted Of overalls and a check
shirt. And he went into the box while the
thousands shed tears because of laughter.
The first ball described the outlines Of q
rams horn and then shot over the plate
with sizzle. He had more wrinkles than
q rhinoceros. He could start ball toward
first base. toward third base in any d.
rection except behind him. and the next
thing you would hear was strike Our
fellows couldn't have hit him with lawn
tennis rackets or minnow nets. They sim
ply paralyxed us and carried away whole
trainloads OF money. It Is a matter OF
local tradition that the long phenomenon
was thrown into an Oil well by Empower
ished hackers OF our team"

"a Texas and Pacific railroad train re-
Gently made 1871 miles In 81 minutes. an
average of mile in less than minute, in
Guiding five stops" said W. T. McChesney
Of Dallas at the St. Nicholas. The run
was made between Piaquemine and Goulds-
boro, La. The reason of this remarkable
run was on account of the Illness OF the
wife of State Senator Wilbert. who desired
to carry her to New Orleans with all pos
sible speed. He wired to Dallas for a spe-
cial train and in few minutes 1t was
dashing on its way to Plaquemine, where
Mrs. Wilbert was placed aboard ut 7:42.
and the train reached Gouldsboro' at 9:20.

In the world can show such speed for so
long a distance. The railroad men are
willing to back up this declaration with
big money"
