HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

Do not depend on beauty of form in
the selection of the good dairy COW
alone. One among the best butter cows
we ever possessed was Of undeniable
scrub origin and exceedingly angular
While u great many people find fault
with the Devon on account OF their long
horns, yet they have proven themselves
u good beef cattle; besides, they have
excellent milking qualities.
In the Elgin district there are prob
ably produced 100000 pounds of but
ter per day, which would require $780,
600 pounds of milk and loss of ten
cents per hundred would mean loss of
$4,000 per day, or nearly Sl,O0O,00O a
year,
One really good COW will furnish as
much milk as two ordinary ones, while
the one will cost but half as much as
the two for keeping. In the latter case
the profit all goes in keeping the extra
COW. If we would prosper we must
keep our wits awake.
Skip one feeding period after the cali
is removed so 1t will have good appe-
tite, then give from three to four pints
OF whole milk fresh from the COW; it
%ill then drink without the finger.

Miles, commanding the United States
army, at the Waldorf-Astoria last
night in point Of numbers, extensive
preparation and brilliancy, rivaled the
great banquet given last year in honor
OF President Mckinley by the mer-
chants and manufacturers Of the coun-
try. The leading persons, military,
naval and business men were repre-
sented, 700 guests being present. When
Gen. Miles rose to speak he was given
n great ovation. Regarding the recent
war and its resultant responsibilities
he said:
The wars OF the past have had their objects,
their achievements and glorious results The
last was in the interest OF humanity and In be-
half OF heroic people, who, for many years.

The important and great questions which had
to be met and had to be decided during the last
few months have had broadening influence
upon the great mass Of our people. They have
been uplifting to every community and every
phase Of society. They have turned the atten-
ton OF our people to the great power and re-
sponsibilty Of our republican institutions and
true interests as people and nation, not
only at home, but throughout every part Of

DAIRY MANAGEMENT.
How to Keep the Cows in Prime
Condition of Health and In-
sure PecuniRry Success.

Twice each day, IA times each week,
our cows are driven from the field to
the stable during pasture season and
MIXED, each COW tied in her own stall
and fed a supplementary ration of
grain, but not balanced one except
that it aids digestion and assimilation
with pasture consumed during the day,
This grain ration is made up largely Of
bran, with 25 per cent. of chop added,
We do not feed grain for the purpose Of
quieting our cows, but for the specific
purpose of obtaining revenue, and al
ways feel that it pays to do it in such
a degree as good Judgment permits,
Our cows are driven quietly to and
from field, which is not far, nor should
1T be distant We saw man so one
mile to d rented pasture to milk. This
was on the right side of economy az
against driving cows the distance 10
and from pasture. We fear some of our
dairymen are not sufficiently carefdl
during the summer i'm caring for
stables, keeping them cleanly and re-
moving daily some of the products thnt
BOON produce noisome odors, Every
thing should be kept absolutely clean
and every Stain busted with gypsum or
what is almost as good, common road
dust
Almost daily our stalls are swept and
the walk behind treated likewise, so
that they present tempting place for
the cows to go to eat and rest while
they ure speedily pailed We advocate
rapid milking when done in masterly
way. In fly time burlap cover closed
up at the rear is thrown over n COW
while milking her, and she stands per-
fectly quiet and cannot use her tail to
the annoyance of the mixer. Udders
and teats nre busted before milking,
thus avoiding foreign substances get
ting into the milk, which we consider
very important. At once after cows are
MIXED they are turned out to avoid
soiling the trench. We are poor au-
thority on kicking cows. The best way
TO break them Is not to have them,
Kicking cows are, we think, the result
of poor handling and training. George
e, Scott, in National Stockman.
