Pops that went to Mankato to hear
the "Orphan" were not missed.
Kings band, of Mankato, gave us
good music as did also the Mapleton
High school quartette. The speech
was one of ,McCleary's haracteristic
speeches full of meat and sound argu-
ment. He held his audience for
three and halt hours, and no one
seemed to get tired. l predict a
large Republican gain over two years
ago. Some candidate is furnishing
lots of beer here and l don't think it
is Fred Gerlich either. Otherwise
than that it is very clean campaign
here. S.

50 FARM AND[ DAIRY. g

When a cow has a caked udder,
complaints of which have occasionally
reached US. a simple remedy will be
to keep the udder well MIXED, then
apply over the bag thoroughly some
lard in which have been put few
drops Of turpentine, 1t will also be
well to give some saltpetre in the
drinking water.
This time of year dairymen should
see to it carefully that their cows are
we'll supplied with pure water. Cows
have special fondness for standing
water and are very liable to drink un-
healthful water from stagnant pools.
This Injuries the quality of their milk
and sometimes affects thu health of
the cows. ~
