Essentials I'm Dairyin

We are frequently asked what are the
more important points in dairying
While there are too many to be emu
merated here, there are three things Of
which want to speak briefly which are
to me Of great Importance and on which
our success as dairymen largely depend.
These are breeding, feeding and care Of
the dairy stock. Upon breeding depends
altogether the quality CT milk a cow
will give, for be it remembered cow
has born in her the power to give rich
or poor milk, and, if poor, nothing that
man can do will improve her in that
line. But the quantity of milk COW
will give is determined by the one who
has the care of her from the time she is
born until she comes into dairy work,
and depends almost exclusively on the
feed and care given her. This word
"care" means a great deal in the edu
cation cf dairy COW. It does not mean
food and shelter alone. It means educa
ton; that we develop in the cow love
for us, or, as it is usually expressed, af-
lection. The more affectionate the COW
the more valuable she is in the dairy.
In our work we must remember that
we have to do with the great law of
maternity which induces a cow to give
milk for her offspring. She gives it in
part, because of the affection che as a
mother has for her young. The more of
this mother love we have in the COW the
better, but to develop and draw out this

KALAMAZOO.

Have you heard the pretty legend, sad and
mournful and yet true,
OF the brave and duslzy lover and the Indian
maid Mahzoo?
How they lived and loved and wandered ON
the rivers shady shore,
Rappiest of Indian lovers in the days that are
no more?
All day long the maiden labored, weaving
baskets by the stream,
Thinking Of her love, her Kahla, weaving him
into her dream;
Then he comes-she hears the rowing of his
light birch bark canoe.
"Kahla!" calls she. Cries he, "Coming, COM
ing to my own Mahzoo!"
All, one night she waits in silence! Sad her
face-her love is deadl
Wounded in the chase her warrior in fort.
night to be wed.
In the morn they find sweet Mahzoo lying
silent in the stream,
Gone unto her lover Kahla nevermore TO
watch and dream
Still the echoes DER the river may be heard
soft through the air
Echoes of the warrior Kahla and of young
Mahzoo the fair.
All the trees repeat the whisper, all the rip
pies murmur, too,
In the stream that bears their name now
bears the name kalamazoo.

Peanut Butter.

A new factory has just been put into
operation in Kokomo, Ind, for the
manufacture of butter from peanuts,
says the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. For
a year or more Ian Bros. of that city
have been working on process OF max
ing butter from the peanut to compete
with the product of the farm cow, and
have succeeded in producing the desired
article. At the present price of the nuts
the butter can be sold at Is cents per
pound. The process of manufacture is
no secret. The nuts, after the hulls are
removed, are carefully hand picked and
faulty kernels removed. They are then
roasted in a large rotary oven. Again
they are gone over by hand for the re-
moval of scorched grains. The nuts are
then put through a mill and ground as
fine as the finest -four, the natural oil
in the grains giving it the appearance
and consistency of putty as it leaves the
mill, except that it is more of an orange
color. By the addition of filtered water,
to reduce it to more pliable state, the
butter is complete, no other ingredient,
not even salt, being used. 1t never
grows rancid and keeps in any climate.
It is put up in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 100
pound tin cans and sealed. The new
butter is already in great demand at
sanitariums and health resorts.

Yarding Cows at Night.

The practice of bringing COWS up at
night is not good one. 1t is far better
to leave them in the pasture and milk
them there, even though it makes more
labor. In hot weather the cows, if al
lowed their freedom, will Craze during
the evening and early morning while
dew is in the grass, and will then lie
down to digest what they have eaten. If
yarding of COWS is done at any time in

SAUERkRAUT FOR COWS.
Said to Be an Excellent Thing In
Sickness.

Sickness.
A reporter among the Pennsylvania
Germans Of Lancaster county discover
ed what will probably be to most .peo-
pie a distinctively new use for saUer-
kraut, a native production Of old Lam
caster and staple article of food, says
the Pittsburg Times. He had called to
see an old friend who keeps a dairy and
found the dairyman in the act of taking
great lunches Of succulent cabbage
from a barrel in the cellar, The odor
pcr,aded the neighborhood and made
glad the nostrils Of every true and loyal
PENNSYLVANIA Dutchman within a dis
lance of about half a mile The reporter
was ast0nished when the dairyman
picked up a bucketful of sauerkraut and
carried it to his cow stables. The second
animal in the long row Of stalls was O.
big strong boned cow. Her head was
hanging low under the manger, although
there was plentiful supply Of hay in
the rack above. Her ears had defect
ed drOop and her eyes were half closed.
She was evidently very sick COW at
time when she should have been in good
spirits for among the Pennsylvania
Germans it is still popular belief that
on Christmas eve the COWS in their stalls
may be heard to talk to each other OF
the great event the day commentaries.
The bucketful Of sauerkraut was dump
ed into the manager The cow by some
peculiar system Of feeding first gave
evidence Of the appreciation by slowly
switching her tail, which had before
hung limp and lifelese. Then she raised
her head, Folzed her great muzzle into
the kraut and slowly began to MUNICH the
stuff Fifteen minutes later she looked
quite happy. She had eaten all the
kraut and was taking great mouthfuls
Of the hay. The dairyman said sauer-
kraut had long been known as one Of
the best things in the world to give a
sick cow an appetite.

The Great Hungarian Painter.

The wife of the great Hungarian
painter, Munkacsy, visits him often in
the madhouse and takes him out for
drive. Sometimes he recognizes her. In
the grounds Of the asylum he can be
seen leaning on two attendants as he
walks about, his once imposing figure
bent and emaciated, his snow-white
hair and beard unkempt-a mere wreck
of the man who, few years ago, was
considered one of the handsomest pub
lie characters in Paris.

can be successfully operated by any
careful person. A definite amount Of
the milk or cream to be tested is meas
ured in a pipette and placed in bottle
which has q long, slender, graduated
neck. Sulphuric acid is then added and
the bottle shaken until the mixture be-
comes dark colored, which requires but
a few moments.
The bottle is then placed in the ma
chine, by which it is rapidly revolveG
in a horizontal position with the neck
toward the center. The fat is thus
forced toward the neck by the other
contents of the bottle, which are heavier
and therefore thrown away from the
center to the bottom Of the bottle. Suf-
fcient warm water is added to bring
the fat up into the neck, where its exact
percentage can be read on the scale. In
the illustration a pipette for measuring
the milk, the acid measure and a test
bottle are shown. From 2 to "a bottles,
containing as many different samples,

for this test is sold by dairy supply

are sent with the apparatus. These can
be easily followed and quite accurate re-
suits obtained after little practice.

nutterrniII1 From skimmilIk.

In late issue of Home and Farm q
number Of inquiries were printed as to
the feasibility Of making good butter
milk out Of separator skimmilk. AS
there seemed to be some doubt about it
in the minds Of some of our correspond
ents, to set that doubt at rest the De
Laval separator people have sent us the
following communication in regard to
inquiries about making buttermilk
from separator skimmilk: 1.-The usual
way of treating this skimmilk for max
ing buttermilk is to set the milk after
it is separated in a can or vat and mix
with it what is called a starter, or, in
other words, a small portion of butter
milk This has tendency to sour skim
milk, and this should stay in the can at
least "a hours. When the milk has
soured, put it in churn and churn it
for One-half an hour to an hour. By
treating the milk in this way you will
have excellent success in making but
termilk Your idea Of mixing the but
termilk is correct, and the temperature
stated, rs to so degrees, is about rights
We know Of a great many that are
treating their milk in this way and are
having entire success with the butter

Iodide Treatment For MILK Fever.

The new cure for milk fever by the
injection into the udder of solution
of iodide of potash is claimed by veter-
inarians and others to give very excel
lent results, and already it is becoming
recognized in certain quarters as one of
the most reliable remedies yet intro
duced. AS already pointed out in these
columns, it consists in injecting into
the udder through the teats one dram
Of iodide of potassium mixed with one
quart of boiling water cooled down to SO
degrees F. before being used. Half a
pint of this is to be injected into each
quarter of the udder. The animal should
then be placed in comfortable position
on her chest and the udder gently rub
bed. Her position should be changed ev-
cry two or three hours, and only one
injection is necessary. 1t should be
borne in mind that before the injection
is given the udder and teats should be
carefully washed with soap and water
to which a little carbolic acid has been
added. Farmers Gazette, Ireland.

INVESTIGATING PHOENIX.
Narrowing Tales Of Cruelty and
Shame.

Greenwood, s. c., Aug. ls.-Several hundred
white men met at Mount Moriah church TO-
day to hear report from the committee ap-
pointed TO investigate the recent outrages
committed on the negroes In the Mount Mo-
riah section and elsewhere.
Hon. j. NJ. Gaines, for the com mittee, stated
sh leld any one, but that diligent inquiry had
failed TO elicit in formation sufficient to re-
commend the arrest OF any one.
The first case was that Of q negro who IT
was reported was organizing q plot against
Phoenix and one who IL is thought took part
In the ambushing last fall. The second was
found to be personal matter between white
man and negro.
The third was one in which two women were
concerned.
The fourth was that OF three negro men and
grew out of reported trespass on white
mans crop, and so on down the list.
There was only one case for which they
could not find a cause and that was the un-
merciful beating OF Jake Richardson.
Negroes appeared before the meeting TO give
evidence, but many OF them were afraid 10
tell the names Of the white men who inflicted
the punishment.
The meeting evidently thought the com nit,
tee had not been as thorough as II might have
been in the Investigation having been pledg-
ed protection by the white people by unani.

might give that would lead to the arrest OF at

who were present, were called for and ques-
toned, first old man Jake Richardson, as he

the meeting. They found that the causes
were not connected with the Phoenix riot
and that the whipping arose some from priv.
ate troubles between certain whites and
negroes and others from desire on the part
of white renters to drive off colored renters
SO that they might get the lands In that com
munity at reduced rents. The meeting recog.
nizing that such lawlessness was Injurious
to the county. pledged their protection TO the
negroes who bad been whipped, several ol
whom were In the crowd. These negroes
then came forward and told their story OF the
whipplngs According to their story one
negro woman had been ravished and an at
tempt made upon another. They stated that
they recognized four men among the white
caps They were Messrs. 4. j. McCaslan
