COW MILKING MACHINE.
An Apparatus Designed for Use in
r Dairtes Where Big Herds Have to
" Be Taken Care OF.

Recently we. illustrated machine
which would milk single COW and
transfer the milk to q can. We now
show an apparatus which can be used
to milk whole herd of cows at once,
needing but two men to operate the
machinery. One man is stationed at
the reservoirs to watch the indicators
and operate the pumps when neces-
sary, and the other passes along the
stalls, attaching the teat cups and
starting the flow of milk. At inter
vals are placed receiving cans which
are connected with the suction APP
paratus and also to the teat cups.
Direct pipes suspended overhead con-
meet the cans with the vacuum boiler,
and the teat cups are also provided
with 9 vacuum arrangement, which

GREEN KAFFIR CORN.
1'he Dangers Of Its Use and That %
Sorghum AZ Feeds Tor a II Sorts ss
OF Live Stock.

Because they have seen cattle eat
young, frst-growth and second-growth
surghum and Kafir corn, and in some
instances pretty nearly subsist on
them without apparent harm, many
persons are ready to maintain that
these green growths are never danger
Gus. Yet, under circumstances and for
reasons which no one is yet able to 5ex-
plain, other persons, in numerous in
plants are almost Immediately fatal.
This suggests that no one is justified in
taking any chances by permitting cat-
tie to have access to such greens"
In connection with this remark the ex-
perience Of Secretary Coburn, Of the
Kansas board Of agriculture, may be
interesting IS;
Prot. Coburn cites three examples Of
the fatal effects Of KafRr corn or sor-
ghum occurring only recently in Kan
sas. Thomas Feakes, Of Lincoln coun-
ty, turned his cows into an un-
used corral, where few SCAT
tering punches Of Kafir corn
were growing. In, less than minutes
seven Of the cows that had nippeM the
growing blades were dead; several 9TH
ers were made very sick, but recovered.
John Kaser, of Covert, Osborne coun-
ty, was driving lot Of young cattle
through a pasture where there were
stools Of green Kaffir corn and sor-
ghum. Within 80 minutes, ten out Of
II heifers that had eaten OF these
sprouts were dead. C.. r. Wadsworth,
Of the same county at about the same
time lost six steers in the same way.
K Losses such as these" says Prof.
Coburn, "are of annual occurrence, and
a list Of them would be very long. The
fact that results are not always fatal
should not furnish an excuse for taxi
ing risks so likely to prove extremely
expensive. Certain safety is only as
s'lred by absolutely preventing cattle
from getting within reach of the plant
named, even for the briefest intervals"

prevents the suction from taking too
strong hold on the teat. This is ac-
complished BY forming the teat cups
with double walls and connecting the
secondary vacuum system with the
pockets inside the cups. the operator
who attends the machinery preserving
the proper vacuum in each set OF
pipes to do the work without injury
to the cows. Valves are provided to
start the milk flowing as soon as tho
cups are fixed in place. With the new
machine a large herd can be MIXED

#desirability Of 9 method which shall

In certain cases, and making the same
kind OF. indiscriminate promises that
they made two and four. years ago
without any hope or intention Of full
filling them. Two years ago Gov. Lind
made violent promises as to what he
was going to accomplish in the direc-
ton Of reforming the Irvine plant. In
stead Of reforming it he run it hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars in debt.
This year he is making equally extrav-
agant promises as to what he is going
to do in reforming the railroads. In
view of his past record and the record
of his party it is neither uncharitable.
nor unreasonable to assume that if he
is elected his promises of reforming
the railroads will be fulfilled In the

charges by the Democrats that Judge
Mills, during the course Of his former
1ncumbency of his Office Of railroad
commissioner, had been friendly to the
railroads. It is not at all necessary
for any practical purpose to go into an
extended discussion Of this subject,
but it is equally sufficient to say that
many of the best railroad laws on the
statute books were drawn by Judge
Mills. One of these was the law au-
thorizing the condemnation of sites on.
the right of way of railroads for the
construction Of elevators, and this law
has been productive Of as great benefits
to the farming communities as any that
has ever been enacted The law in
question is chapter g. of the General
Laws Of 1898, and it has been upheld by
the courts and is still a blessing to the
people Of the state. ES.
Another law, which is acknowledged
as one Of the most meritorious ever
enacted, is that which Judge Mills
drew for Mr.. Jacobson in 1899, which is
chapter 100 Of the General Laws OF that
year, prohibiting the railroad COM
panies, after having once put in effect
a rate on flax, lumber, coal and live
stock, from raising such rate without
obtaining cons t of the commission.
Another benefcent law drawn by.
Judge Mills in 1899 was that for Repre-
sentative McCollom, requiring railroads
to build platforms for the loading OF
grain and other commodities, and it is
recognized as the best platform law In
any state In the West. 1t Is also OBJ
servable What its provisions are SO
binding that the railroads have made
no attempt to evade it. While Mr. Nc
COLON is entitled to; the thanks Of
every country shipper for procuring the
passage Of the law, Judge Mills is
equally entitled to credit for his skill
and Ia Dor in preparing the measure.
Another good law which Judge Mills
drew was that fixing the liabilities Of
st. Paul Transfer, where loss was sus-
tained by reason Of neglect or delay in
the delivery Of stock to the terminal
point The jury in the case under this
law is allowed to determine which COM,
pany is liable, but some company must
be made responsible for The loss. The
bill was introduced by ] :. Staples Of
Dakota county, who is now a candidate
on the ticket with Judge Mills for rail-
road commissioner: Judge Mills also
prepared stthea celebrate ~ BILL
which has nroved one OF 5the%
greatest benefits to the farmers Of the
state, and requires roads wherever.
there is crossing Of two roads to con-
struct a ..Y'' for the transfer of freight
cars. The roads have fought the law
to the highest courts, and it has finally.
been approved by the supreme court.
Judge Mills has done as much as any
other man in the state, and a great
deal more than many of the profess.

The attempt Of Gov. Lind to villify
the memory of former State Auditor
Braden. now deceased, is shown up by
Bob Dunn to be one of the most
5flimsySas well as despicable claims inn
aginab BILE. Mr.. Lind openly charged
Mr.. Braden with having mulcteds the
state school fund out OF $12OOO.OOO by
conveying to mining companies a tract
OF state mineral land. It is shown by
Mr.. Dunn that at the time Of the con-
Yeyance the valuable ore deposits were
unknown, and the land was disposed Of
the same as any other state land. That
was before the wonderful richness Of
the Messaba iron range was discov-
cred, and there was no law on our stat
ute books regulating the disposal Of
such property simply because up to
that time there was no occasion for
such a. law.
Just as soon as the ore value Of the
lands on the range was discovered
Auditor Braden pre- emptorily refused
to sell any more land under the then
existing law, and he recommended to
the legislature the passage Of q law
for the future disposal Of the lands by
q royalty on the ore taken therefrom.
This law was passed. Mr.. Braden, In

city recently. She had just placed her
foot upon the step and was preparing
to take another step to the upper plat

The car jerked forward, and the west

In moment the western woman,

He lodged. The blow sent his hat
spinning back into the track. The
woman entered the car and sat down.
She was flushed, but dignifled. While
