Redwood county Populists seem to
be quite extinct. That is the conclu-
sion their opponents arrived at last
Thursday. At two o'clock that day
the Populists convention to nominate
candidates for county Offices was to
have been held, but only four Populist
faces appeared, and of this number,
only one was true representative of
the sons of toll. This one was Mr..
James Longbottom, the venerable
statesman of Vail township. Your
Uncle Jos. Chadderdon was present,
but Your Uncle James Arnold was ab-
sent, and it is we'll to state right here
that Your Uncle James Arnold has
been absent from the city for SO many
days that his friends, political and
otherwise, are likely to have a search
warrant issued for him. His whiskers
have been sadly missed, and certainly
we're on the day in question. F. NJ.
Shoemaker was up from North Red
wood, and he remarked to the reporter
that while this Populist convention
was not going to be held at the muz-
zle of the court house cannon, there
were not any more delegates present
than there were on the day that it was.
The Hon. John Arnett, politician, we'll
digger, bull ringer and plebiscite,
dropped in, with his face aglow, and
with his head chuck full of ideas. Leo
Aftermath was present, but Leo is more
of democrat than he is q worshiper of
the OK.
These gentlemen comprised the full
list of those present. They watched
the Democratic proceedings. and occa-
sionally offered suggestions, but aside
from that they took no active part in
the convention doings. When the con-
vention moved to adjourn they them
selves adjourned, and nothing was
done.

him that he Was mistaken. MIR. Chad

Populist party might be dead in An

live, new party would be formed
from the roots OF the old, and the
downtrodden people would ultimately
triumph.

Asa Brooks Writes of His Trip to
that Point.

We arrived here on Sunday morning
early, riding the entire distance from
St. Paul in Wagner sleepers and en-
joying the trip immensely. The ST..
Paul people gave us royal reception
and farewell greetings. We, who were
fortunate enough to have lady friends
in the city, we're given excellent lun-
ches, suffcent to last until We reached
our destination. People shook hands
with US and the boys who were:used to
such things we're kept busy kissing the
girls who we're not SO timid as
to prevent it. Some cried and some
laughed, it was very inspiring and
impressive farewell, which we will all
long remember. The Commercial
Club was at the bottom of it and fur
nished good lunch at Smith Park.
We spent the day in Chicago, enter
ing the city in the morning over the
Omaha road. Early as it was we we're
greeted by perfect ovation as we
passed the many factories-their
whistles blew and then blew again
until the track was lined with people.
At Twelfth street the train was side
tracked and our Company 3D." was
taken out by the Colonel and drilled,
more for exercise than anything else.
We were complimented very highly

Chicago looks like it did when I
was there last-only more smoky, for
l believe there are are more factories
at work than there we're then. It is
even worse than Pittsburg.
Our next stop of importance was at
Pittsburg, which city we entered about
noon. We spent six hours here in
order to give the third section time to
gain distance. During the stay we
were taken out to give an exhibition
drill and were treated in fine style by
the people who are enthusiastic and
patriotic to large degree.

colds and cases Of roup, are mainly due

with vermin are so debilitated that they

warm weather that eternal vigilance
becomes necessary to keep down insect

them to once get a foothold. Every
known device must be utilized during
summer to keep the vermin pests Of the
poultry yard in check. The first and

MAKING MILK.
Much Depends Upon the People Who
own the Cows,

Much Depends Upon the People Who
own the Cows.
The man who owns the COWS, says
Hoard's Dsiryman, is the one who
makes the milk. He can make little or
much Of it. He can make it clean or
dirty, cheap or expensive. In tact, he
can vary the milk to suit himself. The
cow is only a complicated apparatus in
which he burns his various folders and
out Of which he obtains his finished
product in the shape Of milk. Like all
other machines, the COW is subject to
the laws of thermodynamiCs. She must
use O certain amount of her fodder To
keep the vital machinery in motion.
This includes the keeping Of the animal
heat at the right point, the circulation
Of the blood, the digestion Of food, the
elaboration Of milk and all the other
vital actions which go to make up the
life Of the animal.
Experiments have shown that it re-
quires 16 pounds Of dry organic matter
to keep this machinery in motion--that
is, to keep the animal alive and in
health. From the rest of the food given
above that weight the dairyman may
expect greater or less returns in the
form Of milk. Here comes the first
point. Now, how much fodder does 1t
take to keep that cowP Sixteen pounds
or 30 pounds? There is q wide margin
here--all the difference between profit
and loss. Ask the COW and see what she
says. II che is using twice as much
fodder as she ought to to keep her ma
chine in motion, then she is not profit.
able animal. If she cannot use the ex-
cess Of feed given her over her mainte-
nance ration to produce a profitable
amount Of butter fat, che is not worth
keeping and should be disposed of as
soon as possible.
No dairyman can afford, under pres
ent conditions, or even under any con-
ditions, to keep animals that eat food
that they cannot return greater value
for the milk pail. If he does keep such
animals, his progress down the finan-
cial hill is neither slow nor comforta-
BILE. His life is one long struggle against
conditions that he might change il he
only would. There are many roads that
lead to loss of profit on the farm, but
the broadcast, smoothest road with the
steepest downward pitch is the one
travelled by the improbable COW.

Uae Much Milk,

AS is well known, milk is an impor-
tant factor in the manufacture Of cara
mels. Two years ago the farmers around
Bloomington kept only enough cows to
supply themselves and sometimes a
family or two besides The caramel
company seems to have changed all
this Many farmers now realize that it
is the byproducts that afford the great
est profit. Besides the fertilizers obtain
cd from the keeping Of COWS, the profit
from the sale Of the milk has already
paid more than the sole raising Of corn

language new process by which skim

which this product has been greeted by

and Native Cows.
In an article In The Farmer M. B.
Wood favors grade dairy COWS and says:
Do not expect that Guernsey or any
other bull can do himself credit or do
you the good Of which he is capable un-
less you give him fair class Of cows
TO serve. As to the kind Of COWS to &C.
lect, take your native cows, and, az l
have said, select them for performance,
as, am sorry to say, few farmers are
expert enough TO select COWS in any
other way, and, after all, performance
is a sure thing. suggest native COWS
for the reason that you will be able to
build up more uniform herd from ma
tive dams than you will from a miscel-
laneous lot Of mixtures Of several
breeds, because the impressibility Of
your sire will be much more apparent
when none Of it is needed to counteract
characteristics Of other breeds. Keep
the COWS that test rich in butter fat,
that give an even flow for q long time,
instead Of a large flow for a short time;
those which milk up close to Calving
time and which have good, we'll quar-

Where the Bacteria Come From.
We might ask where they do not come
from and have a very small list Of
places for an answer. They come from
everywhere where there is dust. Moth
ing escapes them, everything is infected
with them. Fortunately by far the
greater per cent Of them are harmless,
and we forget that they are always pres
ent with US. Il is only when the dairy
man finds his milk of that he begins to
inquire as to their birthplace and
habitat. Perhaps the most prolific place
around the farm is the cOwhouse and
its surroundings The decomposing ma
nure and urine form a nest in which
bacteria multiply by millions. The silo
adds its portion. The holes and corners,
in which damp food is left to sour, hold
other legions, and in fact every place
where organic matter and water come
together is a source Of germs that come
forth to give the dairyman trouble.
There are many places where bacteria
are useful and in their proper place, but
be sure that the milk pail is not among
the number. No germs belong there.

Gravity or DllutiOn SepRFRtOFSs
A recent bulletin by Professor Wing
Of Cornell university gives the results
Of some trials with what are sold under
the names of dilution or gravity sepa-
rators. The plan Of the companies maxi
ing these 80 called dilution or grav-
ity separatorS is to keep all references
to their system out Of the dairy papers
and depend upon travelling agents TO
sell the apparatus to the farmers. The
plan Of dilution was proposed some
years ago and shown, according to Pro-
fessor Wing, to be considerable Of an
advantage when the milk is set at 90
degrees f., but that 1t does not take the
place Of ice water. The claims made by
these companies for their apparatus are
eXtravagant and were not borne out by
careful experiments. Although the ma
chimes were called separators, there
was nothing about them emitting them
to such q name, as they were simply
tin cans with few fixtures. When
tried according to directions, it was
found the results were not equal to
those obtained by the Cooley Dreamer
or other deep setting systems and were
no better than the results from the old
fashioned shallow pan system. Several
tests were also made Of skimmilk from
farmers using these cans, with an aver
age result Of per cent Of fat remaining

man.

Consul Rufin Of Paraguay says that
the butter supply for that country
comes mainly from Europe and is in
ferior to that made in the United States.
He thinks the superior quality Of Ameri-
can butter would insure its rapid sale,
and states that the retail price is from
50 to 40 cents, gold, per pound. For
eign butter, however, pays a 30 per
cent duty. The consul suggests the fol-
lowing innocent tricks Of the trade:
"Let any butter manufacturer cater to
the whims of the people by placing on
his small cans a picture Of the president
Of Paraguay, or those Of some of the
leading statesmen, and an old historic
house or two, which would catch the
eye Of the people and cause it to be
talked about. This would give popu-
larity to the American brand and ought
to lead to quick and profitable sales.

second and third crosses will show the

you will not have anything when you

disposition, accounts for the mongrel

We will say, now that you have
bought your bull and have your first

care. I do not mean to fatten them as

oats, barley, to keep them growing
throughout the first year. When they
are about Is months old, look them
over, and all that have not good consti-
tutions should be disposed Of ; the others
should be served by their own sire. This
is inbreeding, but it will intensity your
