for their work, and the difficulty
OF making the ends meet in
their business, and at the same time
others are congratulating themselves
on the satisfactory returns gained from
their industry. The profits of dairying
depends upon the proper exercise OF
discretion, judgment and intelligence.
These qualities will go a long ways in
securing success in any business, but
are specially necessary in the dairy,
because of the complex nature OF the
DAIRY processes; the main point, how
ever, in the dairy business is the cost
OF the product. 1t is not the quantity
made SO much as the material used in
making it. One dairyman may receive
Sl,5O0 for his seasons milk, while his
nearby neighbor will only get one
half OF this sum as the proceeds of his
dairy, and the latter no doubt is COM
planning that there is no profit in the
business, while the other is enjoying
life and luxury.
The question then arises, to what is
the cause of this difference. And in an
swering it the whole problem of prof
liable agriculture is raised and set
tied. First, the successful dairyman
Keeps only good COWS. If one is found
wanting when it is tested, it is dis
carded from the herd and replaced with
another that is able to turn it's feed
Ing into profit. Second, the land is
cultivated on the same principle, and
every two acres made to support one
good cow, where four acres was re-
CURED before to produce the same feed.
Then each one returns an income
double of what it was before for the
feeding OF COWS alone, not mentioning
the other products derived from it.
Good COWS, good cultivation of the
land, and excellence of product are the
three main points of the dairynan.
The profit is made by these, and as
they come the nearest to perfection, in
the same ratio the profit is nearest the
highest point. When these are at
tanned there is no need to bother the
mind with other details. There is moth
ing difficult in gaining these three
points. In each one, quality is to be
considered and not mere number. It is
better to pay $50 for a good COW than
$40 for one half as good, because q
saving is made in the feed. In a like
manner, it is better to lay out twice
the money on Il acre to gain the
produce of two, for the reason that
labor is saved by growing large crops,
and so on, and as regards high quality
of product, it is better to give double
the care and thought to the work and
management, because the labor is
scarcely if any greater. Time is re-
CURED to effect all these improvements,
but the sooner they are commenced the
sooner they will be reached.

Proper Care Of sheep.

The most important factor in the
care and management of sheep Is an
abundance of the right kind OF feed
during our winters and a warm dry
shed, writes w. G. Mead in Dakota
Field and Farm. The prevalent idea
among many sheepmen that you can
turn your sheep on the stubble fields
through the winter and have them
come out fat in the spring is all a de-
fusion. unless they have all the good
millet hay they will eat or a liberal
grain allowance at night. Sheep re-
|spond to good care and management in
the way of a stronger and heavier
fibre of wool, and more Of it, increase
in weight Of carcass, greater and richer
flow Of milk and larger and stronger
lambs. just as cows respond to good
feed and management in the greatei'
and richer flow Of milk. l have be-
come so accustomed in handling wool
that ! "a tell by handling 1t in the
dark what kind of care the sheep had
during the winter. Whenever sheep be-
gin to run down a corresponding weak
ness Of the fibre of wool will occur next
to their skin. When this kind Of wool
goes on the looms it breaks up. There
are three reasons why Australian wool
Is worth more than American wool:
First, the fibre has an even tension, as
they have an Eel climate and no win
tiers to contend with; second, their wool
is skirted, that is, the legs and belly
are taken off; third. the INSCRIPTIONS
manufacturer can conceal more shoddy
unoer it. We can grow as good wool as
australia or any other country when
We keep our sheep in prime order the
year round. What we need most Is
shepherds instead of sheep men. Then
We would bring our flocks to their per-
Iection. Then the East, West, North
ana South would look to us for their
slres. We would make for ourselves a
name that would enrich our Golfers
and we ought to do it. The best feed
we can raise for our sheep in the way
or coarse feed is millet hay and corn
stalks. Millet should be cut as soon as
the first heads begin to turn brown
and then raked up and put in large
punches and left for two or three
weeks so 1t will be thoroughly cured
before stacking in order to prevent it's
moulding. Some claim that millet hay
is injurious to sheep, but my expert
ence comedies with that of Colonel
G~eddis-that the only time millet hurts
sheep is when you fail to give them all
they want. My practice in cutting and
curing corn fodder is to cut it and lay
1t down in large piles, say two feet
high, keeping the butts even. In this
way it will shed water and keep for
weeks and retain it's color and rich
ness. 1t will not dry up and become
worthless as when in standing shocks.
If you like sheep, get a small bunch
and take good care of them and they
will make you more gold dollars than
anything on your farm. But if YOU
don't like them. let them alone.

Woman Who Became a Cittxau.

rs The Widow Ryan, as she was
known at that time, was the first wo-
MAI to apply for naturalization papers
in Indiana. More than fifty years ago
she came from Ireland and settled in
Southern Indiana with a family of
sturdy children. In order to manag
the property that she had accumulated
to better advantage and also to make
her minor children citizens she an
piled for citizenship papers. Her sons
and daughters became citizens when
they became of age, and they left their
impress on Indiana history. One son
became state treasurer, a son-in-law
held the same position and another
son. Col. Richard J. Ryan, was prob
ably the most gifted and brilliant ora
tor that Indiana ever produced.

The motto of every notorious polit-
ical boss is rule or ruin" He is in
capable Of genuine patriotism, but the
laws of the country in which he prac-
tices restrain him from reasonable
acts. True loyalty to a political party
is likewise beyond his capacity, and
there are nc laws to prevent him from
betraying honest citizens who, as
members Of a political organization,
find themselves under his leadership.
So long as he is permitted to rule in
his own party the damage he can do
depends largely upon the power of his
party in public affairs. When he finds
that he can no longer rule in his party
he sets out to ruin it. He must have
a majority with him in order to, rule;
he can ruin sometimes with a minor
ity. Thus, however dangerous the po-
litical boss is to the people, he is more
dangerous to the party to which he
belongs, or which he may look upon
as belonging to him. One Of the mar
wells of politics in this republic is that
r~artisanship does not, in self-defense,
overthrow the would-be party bosses
before they become strong enough to
think they can either rule or ruin.

An organization has just been
formed at Chicago whose members
propose to substitute a p~hrenologist
for Cupid. The working plan of this as
ISOLATION, which is said to have a rap
idly increasing membership, is to hold
what are called matrimonial picnics
every few weeks, at which all the
candidates of both sexes for the mar
rage. state submit their heads to the
examination Of the qualified officials
for the recording of characteristic
bumps. After due comparisons and
whose traits are found to supplement
each Others are told off, and all pos
sible encouragement offered to induce
their speedy marriage. At a recent
matrimonial picnic sixty men and for
ty women had their cranial bumps felt
by the professors. and a number OF
marriages of "afinities'' are expected
to take place shortly. A great deal
of scientific interest is taken, 1t is said,
in the experiment. and careful rec
ords will be kept of each union. The
society has a comprehensive program,
including a scheme for providing suit
able starts in life for such of its mem
hers as need assistance. The devel-
opment of the children of these scien-
tifc marriage is expected to afford
data which will be of great benefit to
humanity.

To people who have looked upon

To people who have looked upon
the Christian Scientists as a small and
obscure sect the attendance at the deG-
ication of their new church last Sum
day will be a surprise. Ten thousand
people participated in the four SER
vices, that were held during the day
and many others could not gain ad-
mission to the church. Probably a
considerable number of the attendants
were attracted by curiosity, but the
larger proportion were undoubtedly be-
levers in the Christian Science theory.

Professor J. A. Craig, in a sheep bull
letin published by the department Of
agriculture. says: ut is a general i'm
preston among shepherds that the con
dition of the eve at the time of breed
ing has a marked influence on the sue
ceeding crop of lambs. If the ewes are
in vigorous condition and improving in
flesh the prospects are thought to be
favorable for the production of a large
percentage of lambs. 1t is equally ac-
cepted that the condition of the ewes
in the fall prior to going into winter
quarters, has an effect on the suscep-
tibility of the flock to such diseases as
are more or less prevalent during the
winter season. 1t Is certain that the
ewes may be gotten into vigorous con-
dition much more cheaply and easily
than at any time later, and it is equally
true that a vigorous condition is the
best preventive of disease.
Laying Period.-The best laying per-
iod of a good, healthy hen is said to be
about twenty-six to thirty months, and
during her third year she should be tat
tened and killed. 1t does not pay to
sell or kill the younger hens, as dur
ing the winter. when eggs bring the
highest price, they are the best layers.
For an all round fowl, either the Ply
mouth Rock, Wyandotte or Black Java
is satisfactory; but if eggs are of the
most Importance the Leghorns or Min
orcas ought to be selected.-Ex.

Dht A'
When Denmark farmers found grain
and stock growing Improbable by rea-
son of foreign competition, they did not
quit farming, but they began to expert
ment in dairying and fruit and vege-
table production for the English mar
ket, says Western Agriculturist. TWEEN
ty-five OF thirty years ago but little
was known of scientific %dairying, but
driven by necessity to improve their
dairy products, they have achieved sue
cess in advance of any other country.
Young men, and young women, too, be.
came expert, and assisted in teaching
all the farmers, and the finest quality
of butter is made to suit the English
market, and it is marketed to perfec.
ton and realizes the highest price.
They also send frozen milk to London.
They have improved their cows to the
highest production and use the best
dairy machinery. The lesson which
Denmark has learned from experience
is just what we have urged upon our
grain and cattle-growing farmers, that
when grain and cotton become too
cheap for our profitable production by
reason of competition of India, Aus
tralia and South America, where land
and labor is so much cheaper than in
America, we have always urged that
our farmers raise more stock and go
more into dairy and poultry produc-
ton and diversified agriculture. Amer
lean farmers can produce stock for the
worlds markets if we will produce the
improved breeds required.
Points for Poultry Shippers.-One of
the greatest mistakes in shipping live
poultry is that of mixing fat hens and
roosters in the same coop. The hens
cannot be assisted in bringing better
prices by having males with them,
while buyers will not buy in large lots
and pay good prices for mixed stock.
The BOOSTERS only take up room in the
coops and assist in crowding the hens.
If the fowls are shipped, let them be
choice" in the market. If ROSTERS
must be sent, put them into a separate
coop. 1t mean a difference of several
dollars on a coop of fowls if they are
shipped properly. Dressed stock should
also be assorted. and no fowls should
be sent to market unless they are fat.
Elk.
Cattle in Idaho.-A pioneer CATTLE
mar of Idaho recently speaking of the
cattle situation there, says there are
hardly one tenth the number of cattle
in Idaho as during the flush times a
few years ago and owing to 'encroach-
ment of sheepmen, who are crowding
into western ranges, he does not think
there will be any more large herds in
that country. Eastern buyers have
secured the country time and again this
summer looking for stock cattle. hence
a large part of salable stock is out of
the hands of first owners and the run
from Idaho will be small as
with former years.-Ex.
