ShOrthOrn COWS as high as 5 10 per

anywhere, but, unfortunately, they lack
prepotency and as rule no assurance
that heifers from such COWS will be bet

where one persists in this line, using
good Judgment, they will be reasonably
sure OF success.
But then there is another point one

great Importance and that is the feed
ing and care Of the calves. 1t is the
easiest thing in the world to ruin
COW before she is six months old by i'm
proper feeding. and there is world of
difference in feeding a calf with an eye
to beef and one intended for dairy work.
If one is feeding for beef the food must
be Of such a character that it will form
muscle and fat. If for the dairy we
want 10 build nervous force, which is
directly the opposite. The nervous cow
is never the fat cow or the cow that lays
on fat readily. am quite sure that
many good COWS have been ruined while
yet calves by wrong feeding and care.
The COW is largely a creature Of habit,
and the habit Of laying on fat should
never be encouraged in a calf intend
ed for dairy work. There is nothing on
the farm that watch more closely than
the growing calves, as on the care the

Superior Cows For Milk Without
Sacrificing Beef Qualities.
While | do not believe that what is
termed the general purpose COW can
successfully compete with the exclusive
" dairy breeds, writes W. E. King Of
Kansas in the Boston CultivatCr, yet
it must be admitted that there are
many good COWS to be found among the
beef breeds, and on almost every farm
one can find one or more cows that are
above the average in dairy work. 1t is
from these COWS that the future dairy
should come en- the average farm. OF
course where dairying is to be made
specially one should begin with some
special dairy breed, either by purchase
or breeding from dairy bulls, and grad
ing up. But the average farmer, who
keeps from two to half a dozen COWS
from which to raise calves and make
butter for home use, selling the surplus,
does not want the dairy breeds, because
they are only profitable where one
makes dairying a speciality.
But rather let farmers find out which
are their best COWS, then breed them to
a bull whose mother was one of these
best COWS, as well as the grandmother
if possible, and in a short time one can
in this way get a herd Of COWS better
than the average without much sacri-

o1eomargarine In the South.

The south is in a pitiable condition
regarding the tameness with which she
submits to be the favorite dumping
ground for all kinds Of adulterated food
products Our people, individually,
complain about the frauds practiced
upon them in this matter, but there is
little organized effort made in any quar-
ter to put stop to these evils. In some
southern states the influences of the
cottonseed oil interests have up to this
time been too strong to admit Of legis-
lation against adulterated and counter
felt lard and butter. While in Mexico
recently we learned that the laws of
that country were very strict in refer
ence to the sale Of counterfeit and adul-
terated food products Of all kinds and
that the laws are seemingly enforced
with more vigor than with us. There
oleomargarine and like products may
be sold under their true names, but
woe be unto the person or firm that
dares to sell counterfeit for the genu-
inc Southern Dairyman.

Mixing Cream of Different Cows.

Where many COWS are kept and the
milk is set for cream to make butter,
loss often results from mixing cream
that will not churn in equally short
time. OF course when the first cream
s'breaks' there is no more churning,
except the slow moving Of the dash
board to gather the flakes of butter into
one mass. The cream from new milk
COW and farrow cow should never be
churned together. The farrow cow may
give very rich milk, but very little of
its butter fats will be separated, while
the butter from a new milk COW will
all be separated from the cream in
which it was covered.

Bales again with renewed vigor and greater fury.
 He paused for a moment and then turned to his girl and spoke to her and she said that her father wished to say to us that he doctored no more. We all nodded that we understood it that way and then the performance com menced again.
 He slowly and with light step walked around the stove that was about the center of the room and then he made a jump for the prostrate form on the floor and with half hissing sound would exclaim "washee, washee," and he rubbed the totem crossways over the mans chest, then lengthways, and then the end found it's way into the pit of his stomach and he wound the end of the totem around with the mans woolen shirt and jerked and twisted, "washeeing" and spouting like whale all the while, until the girl was com pletely convulsed with laughter, but the men maintained a digniied silence. The scheme was to draw the spirit from the sick man into the totem, from 1t into a we'll man and from him into the air, and when he had worried the alleged sick man for a good long while, he again made a grand rush for Mr. Bales. Once in his round he fell onto another man who was sitting in chair. The old man finally stopped and apolo- gized for not proceeding further, say ing that he was old and it made him tired. He then took the sick mans right hand and rubbed it on his own breast. He did the same to MT. Bales and as token of appreciation for the coin that the News man dropped into his hand, he too received the poor old mans blessing.
 This exhibition of course lacked the rattIes, costume, hat and mask that were formerly used by the doctor. We have heretofore seen his outfit and we can assure our readers that only the pictures in Dante's Inferno could give even meagre description of the frightful appearance of the Indian doc tor when in this regalia. In this part of Alaska there is no more Indian doctoring. We have heard it said that the judge even now sometimes, on the quiet, professionally visits some pa tients, but we do not believe this to be true.
 The doctor is living a quiet life at Haines with his wife and daughter. We must not, however, forget to say a few words concerning this daughter. She attended the schools at Haines and speaks, reads and writes English flu ently. She has royal blood in her veins, for Judge Scundoo is no common stock. She is not very dark, black hair and eyes, straight nose, thin lips, beau tiful chin, and is probably the handsomest Indian girl in Alaska. Her laugh is like beautiful strain of music and her smile makes one think of Helen of Troy or Mary, Queen of Scots. Her eyes, though black, sparkle like diamonds in the gas light and bespeak a disposition full of tenderness and affection. She is worthy to be called a princess-a thing of beauty-a beauti- ful dream-a poem.

Tabor was born in Vermont in 1880
and went to Kansas, where he served
one term in the Legislature. After
fighting grasshopperS and drought for
some years he packed his wife and
some things TO eat and some tools to
dig with into prairie schooner and
started to find gold. Sometimes he
kept store in mining camps, selling
flour for $50 per 100 pounds and bacon
for 80 cents n pound. Again he would
test fortune in placer claim, and then
set up forge and sharpen tools for the
miners.
From 1861 TO 1878 he led monoton-
Gus existence, working drearily and
profiting little. With the proceeds Of
the sale of his last yoke of oxen he
opened Il little store in desolate Color
ado gulch, about 10000 feet above sea
level. In April, 1873, he supplied
grub stakes TO two shoemakers who

were prospecting. These cobblers, Au-
gust Richie and George +. Hook, dug
for ore on the top of IA hill. Other min,
ers laughed at their folly, but the cob
blers stuck to their picks, and after
digging twenty-siX feet struck n vein
of carbonate ore of surprising rich
ness. This was the Little Pittsburg
mine. Tabor made million or more
from his interest. The site of his store
became the center of Leadville and
Tabor grew immensely wealthy. His
fortune was estimated at from $4,000
900 to 100000. Then he moved to
Denver.
At that time Denver was a placid
town of 10000 people. Tabor believed
in its future. Near the city, "out on
the prairie" he built La Ncta Place at
Il cost of a million. This was his dwell
