An instructive illustration OF the
manner In which the milk and butter
yielding capacities of dairy cows may
be developed by careful selection, is
afforded by some alls recently given
publicity to in connection with a prom
inent herd, says an exchange. About
a dozen years ago the milk of all the
cows comprised In this herd-over co
In number-was carefully analysed.
Nine Of the cows were found to be
yielding milk showing over per cent
OF butter fat, twenty-five were yielding
over per cent, fourteen were yield
ing 4 per cent, and twenty-three were
yielding under 4 per cent. From this
date onward. calves were only kept off
the cows which yielded milk showing
over Az per cent OF butter fat. and
the tribes OF the others were gradually
welded out. By the aid OF regularly
kept milk record the product of every
COW ia known, and none is kept for
any length of time which does not
yield over 600 gallons per annum. BY
combining what is learned from the
analysis and the milking record, and
only keeping calves from cows whose
pre- luce is up to standard, alike in
quality and quantity, the milking prop
critics OF the cows have been so i'm
proved that at present over 60 per
cent OF its members are yielding milk
showing over per cent, and rs per
cent are yielding milk showing over
4h per cent OF butter fat The result
has only been attained by the exercise
OF great care and scrupulous attention
In the selection Of bulls, and no sire
Is used without every inquiry being
made as to the milking records of his
female ancestry.

The Coming Of Winter Does Not Retard

The correspondent of the Denver

Though the worst part of the winter
Is coming the mining outlook of Gilpin

and brighter every day, and since the

more correct, several old properties are

Gllpin county mines are IN demand.

Writing on "a Poultry Yard without

Boston. Massachusetts, Ploughman says:
The poultry editor has been expert
mentlng with yard of ten hens the
past year, keeping no male in the pen.
This is by no means the first time he
has tried the experiment. and the re-
suit confirmed the former conclusion
that under some conditions the plan is
the best. In the first place an extra
hen can be kept In place OF the cock.

day, which is very nearly the average
yield OF each OF the ten hens. The
roosterless pen did not perhaps lay
better THAI the other pens, but II GER
tainly did fully as we'll. There was no
itch OF other contagious disease, which
is often transferred throughout the pen
where the cock Is kept. There were nc
broken eggs and no torn or lame backs
The germless eggs keep better and are
better liked by certain fastidious Gus
toners. There was no growing from
this pen to disturb the sleepers by
night ana early morning. The only
drawback was the somewhat peculiar
behavior OF the celibate hens, but when
kept In pen most of the time there Is
little annoyance. II poultry keepers In
general come to realize the uselessness
OF the males for the most OF the year
there would take place a grand slaugh-
ter OF surplus cocks. Hens will lay OF
set fully as well II there are no growers
on the premises. At breeding season
one may be added two weeks before be-
ginning to save eggs for Matching.
What's the use In keeping from one to
n dozen free poultry boarders on the
farm the year around. Just because
most people do. At any rate 1t is
better to thin them out a little.

KEYSTONE PLACERS.
Thorough Preparation to Develop What
Promises TO lie Great Mine.

A dispatch from Telluride to the
Rocky Mountain News says:
Development work on the Keystone
placer, four miles below town, Is going
steadily ahead. A large shaft is being
sunk to bedrock, and from Indications
II Is believed that II will be reached I'm
the next few feet. Two pumps have
been put In. One has n capacity of
l,4OO gallons per minute and the other
400. These are used I'm sinking the
shaft the largest one raising with ease
boulders eleven inches In diameter.
The pipes run into n setting tank on
the edge OF the mouth of the shaft.
and here the gold is separated from the
gravel. The dirt and gravel taken out
while sinking the shaft has averaged
90 cents per yard, and as badrock Is
approached It gradually Increases In
richness. Numerous tests have b. en-
made of the gravel on the surface, and
II yielded from 20 to 40 cents per yard.
San Miguel river ran ut one time d.
rectly through the placer, but now
runs around one side of II. The pla-
Ger Is natural sink basin, and a large
portion of the gold values have been
washed down from Marshall and Saw

sections of the county for generations
past. srhe owners of the placers have

the storm of opposition raised was so

elections OF 1889 found him more In
favor with the people than he had

his monarchist opponent was phe-

later he took once under the then min

shallow setting Of Milk.

The makers Of butter sustain a great
loss In shallow settings. Every per-
son that has had experience with the
shallow pans knows that no matter
how well the cream rises It Is difficult
to skim 1t so closely that good deal OF
the cream will not remain sticking
around the sides Of the pans and float
ing in the milk. When deep setting
is practlced the cream is so thick at the
top and so solid that It is removed
with much greater ease, and the
amount left around the edges is not
greater than in the first place from a
much smaller quantity OF milk. An
experiment to determine the loss from
$50 pounds of milk per day showed
about two pounds of butter fat left in
the milk, where the milk was set for
twelve hours. This two pounds OF but
ter fat would make more than two
pounds OF butter, This daily loss dur
ing years time would be good in
terest on the herd The advantage Of
having a small separator, when the
farmer is not in reach OF large one,
Is obvious.

not only in towns, but even in the re-
hottest country districts, where the
farmers cannot get haryesters at the
usual wages on account OF the inereas-
ed cost Of living. The central organ
OF the butchery trade relates that In
Thurlngia the farmers have no cattle
to sell. and that the butchers have to
buy their swine from the wholesale
dealers at 6S marks per hundred
pounds, living. When slaughtered the
pork has cost the butchers 75 pfennigs
per pound. When the farmers are ask
ed why they do not fatten more stock,
they say that with the present high
prices for barley meal It would not pay.
Thus the grand aim of the Agrarian
League-dear meat and dear corn-is
realized and satisfies nobody. The
agrarian organs publish pages daily to
show that the import restrictions have
nothing to do with the scarcity, but
their arguments do not carry oonvic-

such an extent as practically to drive

for the modern type makes beef at de-

indications OF this is to be found in
