WATER For stock,

In maintaining the best health and
thrift Of the stock during winter sup
ply Of fresh water daily becomes an i'm
portant item. During the winter the
animal heat must come from the food
and one important item in lessening the
quantity Of food necessary to maintain
animal heat is supplying Of dry, warm
shelter. Another item that will help
materially in this regard is in supply
ing water to drink that. lis not ice cold.
Turning stock out of a warm, comfort.
able stable and compelling them to
drink ioe cold water will 80 chill the
system that considerable food will be
required to restore the normal heat.
This adds to the cost Of watering and
gives nothing in return. With Oonven-
lent tanks in which a supply of water
can be kept and q tank heater water
may be warmed for the stock whenever
necessary through the winter at a COM
paratively low cost and will help to
give better results with the stock. II
one must fix especially for warming the
water for the stock, the benefit will
hardly equal the cost. When only a few
animals are kept, and it is not advis-
able to go to the expense of windmill
tanks and heater, very good plan is to
pump or draw water fresh from the
we'll and let them drink what they
want before il has time to get chilled.
Water pumped fresh in this way is
usually several degrees warmer than
that of ponds or running streams. While
animals will usually not drink SO much
water in winter as in summer it is just
as essential that they have full supply
every day in winter as in summer, and
il is fully as important that it be pure
and fresh. Then if it can be moderately
warm all the better. So far as condi-
tions will admit it is best to turn stock
ont into small lot where supply Of
water can be had conveniently and then
they can help themselves. OF course 1t
is not advisable to expose stock to I'M.
necessary cold or storms in order to do
this, but when the weather will admit
this will be found good plan. st.

GA6et offensive animal odors will be re-
tained in milk, and even after It is cooled
these will make IL unpalatable and I'M
flt for use. We knew a milkman once
who thought he would have a better
quality OF milk than could be brought
to market by any one else His plan
was TO put the milk as soon after il was
strained as he could in glass bottles
holding either pint or quart and de-
liver these to his customers without I'M
sealing. But he very soon learned that
IL he did not have the milk first cooled
before putting it in his glass bottles the
effect was to distribute the worst rather
than the best milk sold in the city. The
fact that so much cream rises during its
passage to market makes 1t very diff.
cult for milkmen to be sure whether
their product, however honestly deliv-
cred, will prove up to the standard.
Cream always rises. After oonsidera-
BILE part has come to the top Of the can
that toward the bottom is pretty cure
to be below the legal standard. Milk.
men try to equalize the top and the bot
tom of the can by dipping down their
measure and bringing it up full from
below the surface. But they do not al
ways succeed even thus. In most cases
where milkmen are found selling milk
below the standard weight we believe
they are not to blame, They put milk
above the standard into che can. II in
the first half of the distribution they
give milk considerably above the stand
ard, are they to blame il what remains
at the bottom of the can is az much be-
low it3-Boston Cultivator.

Lamenesn I'm Horaen.

Fetlock lameness is manifested by a
short, jerky step, the animal stepping
on the toe or often hopping ON three
legs. Lameness caused by sore or en-.
larged tendons is similar to shoulder
lameneSs, and 10 best examined with
the animal at rest, as then the swelling,
heat or pain is generally detected along
the course Of these parts. 1t is more
difficult to diagnose foot lameness. The
best thing is to pick up the foot and tap
IL lightly with q hammer and notice
the flinching when the sore spot is
touched. II the animal is nervous, it
will require great care to distinguish
between the actual pain and the nerv-
BUSINESS. Hip lameness is known by q
peculiar hopping gait. The animal
while trotting turns the hook Of the
lame leg in and the stifle out. Stiae
lameness shows itself by the difficulty
the auimal experiences in elevating this
part and bringing it forward, which is
usually done in dragging fashion.
The stifie animal either has the lame
leg stretched out behind or stands firmly
on the sole. In the first case he cannot
back and in the latter he cannot move
che lame leg forward.

HOMEMADE CHEESE PRESS.
source Of expense. Considerable labor
on farms, during the winter, isabsorbed
into the unremunerative chores OF the
farm buildings, unless animals are kept
yielding a product or increasing in
value. Cows must be fed during the
winter. II a direct revenue can be OBJ
tained, che work can be done with more
enjoyment, more Of ii will be under
taken and more profitable methods will
be applied. Other branches Of farm
management, such has the raising Of
young stock, the fattening Of swine, and
keeping Of laying hens, will grow out
of it. There are few more discouraging
and joyless occupations than attending
on COWS all winter without any reve-
nue. from the work.
There are hundreds Of men who are
Employed as cheesemakers during the
summer months and who unwillingly
are comparatively idle during the win.
ter months. II the capacity and ability
which they possess can be applied to
making butter and cheese during the
winter, go much will be gained.
When dairymen obtain satisfactory
revenue from cheese faCtofies during
the summer and get hardly any income
during the winter, they can make only
very slow progress in bettering their
circumstances. The patrons who send
the most milk to the cheese factories in
summer might also send relatively the
largest quantity in winter. As result
of the immediate revenue from butter
making in winter cows get better care
and better feeding. AS consequence
they give more milk the following sum-
mer. After winter dairying was begun
at the first government dairy stations
the president of the Mount Elgin Dairy
company, who had 80 cows and had
milked them during the winter, stated
that during the month Of May Of the
following year he obtained % per cent
more milk from his herd Of COWS than
he had ever obtained in that month in
any previous year. Doubtless that was
mainly owing to the fact that the COWS
were kept in a fairly warm stable dur
ing the winter months and fed on suO-
culent feed to induce large flow of
milk. Unless COWS on the average are
made to milk during ten months in the
year they are likely to become unprOAt-
able as mixers 1t will not do TO let the
cows become lsisurely class, on hOli-
days for five or six months Of the year.
The byproducts Of dairyiDg in the
form of skimmilk and buttermilk are
more valuable for the raising Of stock,
the feeding Of swine and the growing
of chickens during the winter and very
early spring months than they are dur
ing the summer. The dairymen have
not been and cannot be fully prosperous
until they have a revenue coming in
regularly during the whole year.

Co., about $4,000, which was not placed
as he had directed and which he was in
formed had been lost.
Cochran declares that he will have lit

ROADS ARE NOT LIABLE.
Cannot Hold Street Car Companies
Responsible for Accidents.
CAUSED BY POLES,
Judge Good1and Decides that Cities
Granting Right to Erect Poles
Are Responsible.

Neenah. Wis, Nov. 18.--[Special. IA
decision rendered by Judge John Good
land at Appleton yesterday was that
electric railway companies are not re-
sponsible nor liable for accidents which
arise from collision with poles which are
maintained in the streets under fran
chise granted by the cities.
The decision was in the case Of w. f.
ketchum of this city against the Fox
River Valley Electric Railway company.
In October, 1895, Ketchum sustained a
fracture of both legs and other perma-
nent injuries, by being thrown from his
wagon, while his team was frightened
but not absolutely unmanageable and
dashed against a pole of the Fox River
Valley line standing in the curb at the
approach of the bridge crossing the Fox
river at Appleton. Suit was brought
against the company for damages.
Several points were involved in the
case. 1t was questioned first, whether
the pole was really an obstruction;
whether or not the franchise given by the
city of Appleton to the street railway
company granting the right to place poles
near the curb protected the railway COM
pany or not; and whether in any event
the street railway company was liable.
Judge Goodland, on motion of non-suit
by the defendants attorney, granted the
motion ordering judgment against the
plaintiff for costs. Judge Goodland based
his Judgment principally on the fact that
the pole in question was not the proxi-
mate cause of the injury and therefore
the plaintiff could not recover The case
is very important for, according to Judge
Goodlands ruling, the city is responsible
for any effect or obstruction on the public
highways; it being the city's primary
duty to provide against such obstacles
The question was, can city, under the
state law and under franchise granted
by the city, protect the street railway
company against liability Judge Good
land ruled that the railway company was
not liable for maintaining their poles in
st is under franchise where injuries
allae from collision with the same.

Frederick O'Brien, a teamster, had a diff
ticulty with his wife last night because
she refused to live with him any longer
on account Of his drunken and abusive
habits. About 2 o'clock this morning he
put a two-pcund stick of dynamite un,
der the front porch of the cottage in
which his wife and 2-year-old son were
sleeping. The explosion which followed
blew away the porch and the front of the
house and alarmed neighbors for blocks
about. who rushed cut in their night
clothes, thinking an earthquake had
struck GAINESVILLE. Fortunately the two
inmates slept in the back of the house
and were not hurt beyond a good scare.
The neighbors took care of the wife and
child and O'Brien was locked up. He
sobered up this morning and says that ne
only wanted to scare his wife and get
her to take him back again.
