During~ the campaign preceding
the election in which for a second
time he went down to defeat. the
presidential candidate of the Dem
ocracy lost nothing Of that affec-
ton and esteem in which he is held
by millions of his countrymen.
: His fight in 1900 was more re
markable in many respects than his
memorable struggle of 1896. Still
without money, as four years be-
fore; backed by no powerful social
or commercial influences, with the
organized wealth, the power of high
station and the disciplined armv of
a gigantic government machine ar
rayed solidly against him; appeal
ing only TO the conscience and pa
triotism 1T the plain people, he not
only commanded the respectful
hearing and the enthus site ac
claim OF vast con. curses of citizens
from one end of the country to the
other, but. as indications now
point, has largely increased his pop
ular vote over that of 1896, if in
deed he has not secured endorse
ment of majority of the voters of
the Nation!
man who can accomplish even
that much against such tremendous
odds and as comparatively new
factor in National politics, unqnes-
tionably must possess the elements
of greatness to a marked degree.
1t is not disgrace to be beaten in
a good cause. 1t is no humiliation
to go down battling for the honest
convictions of patriotism and the
rights Of the masses. AS the tr:-
bune of the people Mr.. Bryan is
greater in defeat than the success
full champion of greed and aggres-
sion, of force and favoritism, who
is now receiving the congratulations
of his patrons and his 6enefciaries.
1t is. too early to say what Mr..
Bryar's future may be. 1t is idle
to speculate upon his political pros
poets. But of one thing he can be
assured-he has won an enviable
and an enduring place in the re-
spect, the confidence and the hearts
of his counlrymen. He is one Of
the conspicuous ornaments of the
and the citizenship Of the
Nation.

An UnweIcc1ne Visitor.

While camped in the Wallapai
mountains recently there came to my
camp from off the Santa Fe Pacific an
English overland tourist, and, after
passing the usual salutations and
greetings, the stranger proposed to join
the desert express train Of burros and
try his luck prospecting. The first
camp was made at Maggie Springs,
where stood an old miners cabin. In
the morning he proposed to help cook
breakfast and built a rousing fire in
the old fireplace Of the cabin and start
ed to fry the bacon. All at once a
startled expression came from the en-
bryo cook, and, turning quickly, dis
covered a large king snake sizzling in
the frying pan. The chimney getting
hot had dislodged his snakeship, and
down he came into the hot grease

An Emphatic Opinion.

A correspondent Of the London Live
Stock Journal Of 40 years expert
ence declares that there is no need dur
ing any season of the year to purchase
either one thing or another beyond
what passes through the animals
stomach to produce the best quality Of
butter of a natural color. When | say
natural | mean not extremely high,
but of such a color as will be looked
upon as genuine and secure customers
all the year round. At the present
time from this dairy it is not a matter
of selling the butter, but who is favor
ed by having tin fact, it obtained the
second prize, when there were % COM
petitOrs, at the agricultural show.
The longer a COW is in milk after
producing a calf the whittier the butter,
and not only that, but the quality is
scarcely up to what it would be nearer
the birth Of the calf; consequently to
make good butter all the year round
it requires one, two or three to c&ive
each month. according to the extern
siveness Of the dairy; no butter can be
color, without it, and in the summer
months four or five pounds Of cotton
cake to each animal per day will still
help the color, Quantity and quality.
After the cattle are brought into the
sheds, to keep up the color, beyond hay
and mangels, linseed cake, maize meal
and pea meal are the articles that
have found to answer best. Swedes,
turnips and straw, with oats, have the
opposite effect; therefore try to avoid
them as much as possible for butter
keeping marketable color.
No doubt the Jersey or Guernsey
will produce the highest genuine color
without artificial feeding Of any ami
NAL that ever came under my notice,
and many farmers in this district have
one Of these high colored butter pro-
ducers among a herd Of dairy cattle,
rather than be suspected Of adding
anything that was neither desirable
nor agreeable to their customers

w. J. Kennedy OF the University Of
Illinois writes that, in figuring out a
balanced ration for winter feeding the
dairy herd at the university farm. he
thought bran at SIS per ton was too
high, and he has done little figuring
on the protein Of that and other foods.
The protein in bran at that price costs
6 cents a pound. Taking the known
percentage of it in other foods at the
same value, it would make oats worth
1917 cents a bushel, clover hay $3.50 a
ton, corn stover So per ton. corn fod-
der IS per ton, corn ensilage $1.0S per
ton. gluten meal $3O.96 per ton and
oilmeal $3.50 per ton. AS he could
buy gluten meal for less than $40 per
ton, delivered at the railroad station
there. he decided on using that instead
of bran, and as it has twice as much
protein as the bran he substituted
three pounds of gluten for six pounds
of bran and thus his protein cost him
less than 4 cents pound. Since max
ing the change the cows have increased
their milk production from one to three
pounds each per day, and he is salts.

BUTTER TESTS.
Difference Between Jersey Cream
and That of Other Breeds.

Difference Between Jersey Cream
and That of Other Breeds.
Commenting on the tables of the but
ter tests at the London dairy show Of
1899, Mr. Ernest Mathews, in the
course of his report in The Journal Of
the British Dairy Farmers Association,
points out that the churnings were
very closely in accord with the anal
Uses, the difference between the two
methods being probably accounted for
by the amount of water necessarily
present in butter. In this respect, he
says, they afford a contrast to the re-
suits Of previous trials, where the milk
from the breeds with large and regular
sized fat globules apparently churned
better than that containing small and
medium sized globules.
Mr.. Mathews adds: "In the report of
1893 [ ventured to suggest that, Wheth-
er sweet. e., cOmpreSSed-cream was
used or not, the results Of churning
these different classes Of milk would
be the same. l think on reflection that
this opinion requires modification. This
year l kept all the creams from the
breeds other than Jerseys until the Jer-
sey lots had been churned, and, as the
atmosphere was warm, a thick fog pre-
vailing outside until 10 a. m., the lots
Of cream kept till the last evidently
had undergone a partial ripening. My
experience with Jersey cream has
always been the same-viz, that wheth-
er sweet or ripened there is no loss If
the cream is churned at q sufficiently
low temperature. With cream from
Shorthorns and other breeds of cattle
it has not been so uniform, and in
variably some Of the lots Of buttermilk
have shown a certain amount of cream
mixed with Gaseous matter, which,
when churned, yielded an inferior but
ter
without, therefore, in any way CIV
ing up the opinions l expressed in my
report on the butter test of 1898,
would supplement them by adding that
in milk containing large fat globules Of
uniform size there is not the need Of
ripening that Is apparently necessary
when using milk containing small or
irregular sized fat globules. In other
words, it would appear that the cream
from milk containing small and ir-
regular sized fat globules churns better
when it Is ripened. If this is the true
reason, it would be we'll in all future
trials to churn the creams from the
Jersey cattle first, and SO give more
time in which to allow the other
creams to ripen."
