MANAGING MILK cows.
1t Requires the Constant Exercise of
Patience and Quite an Amount
OF Judgment.

I wish to give you few hints ON
milking cows. The farm hand who
knows how to milk properly is more
valuable to the careful dairyman than
any other help. To milk q cow requires
time and patience. The milk should be
drawn slowly and steadily Some cows
have very tender teats, and II yon want
good disposed COW, be gentle in your
treatment toward her, as she is natnral-
& impatient and does not like rough
handling. With constant irritation she
will fail in quantity of milk. Asthe ud-
der becomes filed with milk she is
anxious 10 be relieved OF its contents
and will seldom offer resistance with
out cause. When patient COW be-
comes fractions we can always trace il
To the mixer. Note this: We should
snot allow them to stand long time
waiting to be MIXED. When cows give
a large quantity Of milk ii Is very pain
ful when the udder has filled to the ut
most, therefore causing them to be-
come very nervous and restless. To de.
lay milking at the proper time will do
more to cause cow to go dry before her
period than anything else. She should
also be miiked to the last drop, If posi-
bic, for the last portion of milk is said to
be the richest. Still another point:
There are many ways of conducting q
dairy. Among them are: Wholesome
food, such as wheat bran, cotton seed
meal Always be careful TO keep the
cows well saIted, protected from bad
weather, giving kind handling, careful
milking egular feeding, clean stabling,
good ventilation and plenty Of pure wa
ter. In some sections we have what is
called bitter weed, which cows are fond
Of, causing the milk to become SO much
affected that it is hardly fit for use.
find that by giying the COW about two
tablespoonfuls of sugar at each meal
for two or three days the milk is entire
ly relieved of the bitter taste. "a. B.

TRUSTS PROTECTED.
The McKinley Administratien 81
Following Ont the st. Louis
P1atforn To- she letter.

In 1896 every political organizatio In
the United States that held national
convention except the republican party
pronounced against trusts and combi-
nations ID restraint of trade.
The republican party was silent on
this question save as its advocacy of 81
high protective tariff was necessarily
affirmation of the theory that trusts
and combinations in restraint of trade
are helpful, not harmful, TO people.
When William Mckinley entered
upon the presidency OF the United
States he had before him as guide the
proceedings of the national republican
convention, which failed to pronounce
against and tacifly declared for trusts
and that part of the statutes of the
United States known as the Sherman
antitrust law.
The republic has had nearly two
years of Maj. McKin1ey's administra-
tion, and 1t is not difficult to discern
that it has been guided not by the
statute of the United States in respect
of trusts and combinations, but BY the
ST. Louis platform.
The major is absolutely complacent,
and residents of the United States who
find profit for themselves in making
lawless combinations have learned the
fact to their full satisfaction. During
the last year activity ID the formation
of trusts was unprecedented In the his
tory Of the republic. It is true, as stat
ed in a special dispatch foa leading re-
publican newspaper, .the year 1898 was
most prolific Of trusts. Returning pros
perity brought with it an unparalleled
outburst of combinations and consoIi-
dations. The year closed with more
trusts brewing than ever before. A
trust craze seems TO have developed. In
dozens of important industries men are
travelling and telegraphing and teIe-
phoning to bring about consultations
Of competing concerns. .
They know it is against the law, but
they do not fear the law. They know
that the chief magistrate, with whom
the initiative of execution rests. is on
their side, equally laWless with them
selves.
The enginery of justice in the United
States, urged to the utmost activity in
the prosecution of some Insignificant
violator of federal statute. rests in alb
solute idleness when the Sherman law
is mentioned. It is the presidents duty
TO take care that the laws are faithfully
executed. He has been presented to the
people of the United States as extraor-
dinarily conscientious Manifestly, this
characterization of him is untrue. for
no conscientious chief magistrate with
the knowledge that violations of fed
eral law are of daily. notorious and
scandalous occurrence would fail to
employ judicial machinery to bring the
offenders to book. Chicago Chronicle.

WOE FOR WOOL MEN.
The Dingley Tarin Is having KIN
Ing Eject ON nm Impor-
tant Industry.

! :
Onthe same day the Ohio Wool Grow
ers' association and the National Wool
Manufacturers association held their
annual meetings and put out their
statements as to the condition Of the
wool growing and wool manufacturing
industries for the past year under the
Dingley tariff bill made in their in
terests. In each case the sta tement was
avail of woe, a bitter complaint against
existing conditions, and declaration
that unless something radical is done
and that quickly, their respective in
dusfries will be ruined.
The president OF the Ohio Wool Grow
ers' association said the wool tariff OF

failure and in practice fraud. He
claimed prices of wool are lower than
in any period in the last 40 years, ex-
cept for brief time under free wool.
He said the present tariff law was in
tended To be the best for the manu-
facturers they ever had and better for
them than for wool growers. He In
sisted that part of the prohibitiye du-
ties should be taken from manufac-
lures and should be given to wool. He
claimed that prices are fixed by the
manufacturers and imported wools are
supplanting the American product.
The association agreed with him and
adopted resolutions on the lines of his

Origin OF a Question Often Asked ON

Origin of Question Often Asked ON
the Maryland shore.
Strangers tell as it is fact that after
the formalities of an introduction to
an eastern shoreman at his own home
always follows the question: SIS
this your first visit to the eastern
shore ?'' The origin of this custom
was set forth by an eastern shoreman
at Cincinnati banquet, at Newport.
z. l., some years ago, when he was
twitted about this popularity of his
country. The story is true one.
When Gen. La Fayette accepted the.
invitation of congress, in 1924, and
came to this country as the nations
guest, a great reception was rendered
him at the statehouse in Annapolis, of
icially, by the state. The governor of
Maryland was at that time an eastern
shore farmer. who lived on his farm,
except when the general assembly was
in session, or when he was called to
Annapolis at other times on official
business. OF course his presence was
indispensable at the La Fayette recep-
ton. His function. indeed, was to in
troduce the distinguished guest. The
governor made the trip on horseback
around the head of the bay, clad in a
homespun suit, made on his own looms.
The roads and weather being worse
than he calculated for when he left
home, he did not reach the capital until
the day of the reception, and after all
the other notabilities were there, and
waiting for the governor, who was
hastily ushered into the senate cham

The distinguished people, in splendid
array in the chamber, confused the
plain and patriotic eastern shore gov

La Fayette he could think of nothing
to say for the moment. He blurfed out:
Els this the first time you were ever in
this country, general?''
And from the day the eastern shore
governor made that faux pas to this
the question is religiousiy. patriotical-
