Kansas Agricultural College.

At the agricultural dairy every eff
fort is made to keep the stables clean,
and the stalls we'll bedded, and to
have as little dust floating at the time
of milking as possible. To accom-
plish this latter point, the feeding is
done after, rather than before, the
milking. The handling Of the hay,
ensilage or even grain, fills the at
mosphere full of dust and carries with
it millions upon millions of germs,
many of which will fall into the milk,
and not only cause 1t to sour, but will
develop undesirable fiavors in the but
ter and cheese made from 1t. The hay
bacillus, a germ that has great tenaci-
ty Of life, exists in immense quantities
In cured hay, and when allowed to de-
velop unchecked in ripening cream will

Wool Securing.

The question is frequently asked,
what is the loss In the average wool
from s%couring?" Three samples Of
wool each representing an average
from car lots were examined and 1t
was found that the loss from scour-
ing was as follows: Percent OF loss
from sample No. l, COOL; sample No. 2,
62.64. and sample No. 3, 6l.67. These
were fair samples of the sheen as
found upon the prairie in the sheep
belt of the western part of the state
This gives an average of 61.47 per
cent loss or shrinkage from securing
the wool. Data that have come under
the observation of the writer have
shown a loss of from SIS to 70 Der cent
from securing samples of Eorth Dako-
ia wool. From the data available
then. it would seem that the figures
found for the three samples are about
an average for unwashed wood.-E. r

meat, and of course reduces the risk Of
loss from disease, not only because II
reduces the time of feeding but also
because to get a pig to weigh 200
pounds or more at seven months old II
mus be fed so as to be in perfect
health, and when this Is the case the
danger of loss from disease Is ex-
ceedingly small, writes Waldo F.
brown In Practical Farmer. l very
much doubt II this can be done from
feeding corn alone, as 1t does not builc
up the bone and muscle sufficiently,
and 1t Is also difficult to keep the di-
gestion good for a long period on such
an unbalanced food as corn, and no
matter how cheap orr may be, l do
not think l can afford to feed 1t ex-
clusively to hogs except for a short pc
Rod near the time when they are to be
marketed. | breed my sows for two
filters a year, to farrow In Ap.ll and
October, and while l can make an April
pig weigh 200 pounds a little quicker
than l can an October pig, I believe
that as a rule the price is higher in
the spring than in the fall, and the diff
ference In the profit of the spring and
fall filters Is small. I find that 1t takes
good and careful feeding to make a
pig at six OF seven months old weigh
one pound for each day that it is old,
and no careless feeder will do 1t; for
to succeed 1t is necessary to keep the
pig thrifty from birth to block. A
careless feeder thinks that 1t makes
little difference If the pigs are overfed
occasionally, or fed at irregular hours,
but II the digestion Is once impaired 1t
will often result in feeding for many
days at a loss, and every time that this
is repeated makes the animal more
likely to get off its feed again. One
rule in feeding for the best results is
to give a little less food than the ami
mails would eat, so that they will al
ways come to their feed with a good
appetite. | find that | can feed corn
heavily for a period of four or five
months If at the same time my Pig

and use a quart of old process oil mea

busy readers, this process may appear
long and tedious, but practical expe-
rience has proven that after once ac-
customed to IL much of this work a
be done in less time than 1t takes to
tell it, and the difference in the quail
ty of the milk is the difference between
pure, wholesome milk and dirty, filthy
milk. Straining through wire and
cloth will not take out dirt that has
once become dissolved in the milk, nor
will 1t remove the taints that arise
from the feed. A nan may have q
right to use filthy and tainted milk if
he wants to, but the Of
both milk and its products also have a
right to enter a vigorous protest
against this same man selling his
filthy milk as a pure food product.
Milk adulterated with filth and dirt Is
to be condemned even more than but
ter adulterated with oleomargarine.
Both are deceiving the consumers.
While the dairyman is protesting
against the manufacture and sale of
oleomargarine as butter, and every
true dairyman should be. let him at
the same time make sure that he Is
not open to criticism by adulterating
his milk with dirt OF filth of any kind.

On Tuesday night, shortly before 12
o'clock, two strange men entered William
Cancierius' saloon on East Centre street, and
ordered two drinks. After drinking they
sat down by the stove with the proprietor
and began to talk of recent rObberes. Sui.
denly one of the men said to Cancierius
How would you like it if burglar would
draw a revolver, put it to your nose,
and say Hands upp What would
you do?' At the same time the man pulled
revolver from his pocket. The proprietor
rushed towards the stranger and his wife
came downstairs with hate het in hand. On
seeing the woman, the stranger made a rush
for the door and escaped down Centre street
His pal remained and asked for another
drink but was refused. He then attempted
to entice Cancierius to Justice Shoemaker
office, saying he haG three men arrested fol
robbery. 1t is supposed that several other
pals were in waiting in Market alley to attack
and rob Cancierius. He refused to go and
the stranger left the place.
