Dairy Cows.

The foundation of dairying success
must naturally be laid with the selec-
ton and maintenance of suitable cows,
says exchange. The yield of milk
should be ample, at the same time sufh-
GENTLY rich in butter fat The average
United States yield is less than 1000
pounds of milk a year, and only about
80 pounds of butter to the COW The
milk yield should be from 5000 to 5000
pounds and the butter production new
under 200 pounds Ayrshire, HoI-
-Friesian, Guernsey and Jersey
breeds of cattle, in their various
grades are the ones generally regard
I'd best for dairying- Only per
cent of all the COWS IN the United
States are pure-bred of these improved
breeds but more than one-fourth of
all are grades having one-half or more
improved blood
The selection OF the practical dairy
COW of today is not 50 much a question
of particular breed OF individual
productiveness. This viii be found to
vary in every herd of every breed In
breeding it is esta blished maxim
that the bull is half the herd The
bull should always be pure bred and

BAD for the Calamity Party.

Prosperity stories have taken the
place of calamity croakings in Kansas,
and Mr.. Bryan is wondering what he
can do to regain his former hold upon
the ears OF those who no longer find
him interesting. The story is told of
an old farmer who, at the point OF
shotgun compelled a creditor to ac-
cept payment Of a note before it fell
due. Why did he do that2" some one
asked the narrator "Oh. he wanted to
stop the interest," was the reply John
w Breidenthal, the state bank COM
missioner. tells of banker out in the
short grass country who wrote a letter
asking if there was any law that would
compel him to receive money for de-
post in his bank 4 wrote him, said
BreidenthaI, that if he had more mon
ey than he knew what TO do with,
knew of no law in Kansas that would
compel him to take more You see,
they are paying their taxes. and the
county treasurer wanted to make de-
pository out of his bank, but he woui=
be mandamused before he would sub
nit TO it
All this looks bad for the political
party and candidate who hope to win

A New York man who is activelzin.
ferested in all that pertains to light
harness horses recently said that
when fashion decreed that it was cor
rect to drive horses with as short a
tail it was possible to make, every
body who wanted to be in the swim
followed the foolish idea, and the un-
fortunate horses suffered accordingly.
says National Stockman- Now that q
large number of the dock-tailed horses
have been worn out and broken down,
they have become common in the
ranks of hard working horses, and de-
livery wa CONS, express wagons and even
peddlers' wagons are now pulled by
dock-tailed horses so that diminished
caudal appendage is 10 longer con-
fined to the ranks OF the high-tonsd
brigade Whenever any fad (and the
dock-tailed horse was only fad) be-
comes common the leaders of society
drop out and it then naturally goes out
OF fashion It was with the bicycle
AS long as the price of bicycles was
held up to point that kept them Ouc
OF reach of the common people they
were popular among society folks, but
when Mrs Bon Ton found that on her
daily spin with her wheel she was
liable to encounter her washwoman.
the grocery boy, her own servants or
any other OF the working classes, she
soon became disguised with the wheel
Now that the short-tailed horse is COM
mon, the exclusive set have gone back
to the long-tail class, and many a fine
pair are now to be seen in the fash
iona Die quarters. The Shrewdest deal
ers quickly caught on, and while many
horses are shown with their tails tied

| cause of the change true lovers of
| horses will be glad OF it Docking is

Through its operations the demand for
domestic fabrics has increased, and
the trade losses lanented by Bradford

Prof Thomas Shaw, in speaking of
trimmed sheep, says that some com
plain much about the iniquity OF trim
ming sheep on the ground that it IS
an attempt to deceive There is only
one way of looking at it. The aim Of
the average man who trims sheep is
not so much to deceive to improve
the appearance OF his wares To that
end horse is groomed- 1t is to i'm
prove her appearance that maiden

appearance of good sheep to have

free from defects But even though
the aim should be to cover up defects.
there is one class of men from whom
the defects cannot be hidden; that is
to say, men who understand the chief
essentials of good mutton form When
these can get their hands on sheep
the attempt to hide its weakness will
not avail In this we have another

Che of the great advantages OF hav-
ing si1age is that a uniform supply OF
feed can be kept on hand throughout
the year The experience OF good feed
ers has demonstrated that silage can
be kept for more than a year and be
identical in feeding value with sIlage
OF but few months in age One feed
er says that when he has siIage left
in the bottom OF his siIo, and fills in
on top OF it with new silage, at time
OF feeding there IS no difference be-
tween the two This fact being estab-
lshed, il becomes possible for the
feeder to make provision for the years
of small corn crops. if he have album
dant silo room a big supply OF 81

The man that eats pure butter
knows what he IS eating, but the man
that eats butterine, any form. does
not know. The first makers of butter
inc were contented with combining
different kinds of grease and co1or1ng
it. They made a good profit, even
when they used the best materials. But
when the sale of the imitation product
became great in volume, new men went
into the business, and the competition
among the makers of oleomargarine
lowered the quality of the product 1t

3. Gurler, last week made the remark

fodder and to thrive it. Mr. Cur
L. IS in favor of feeding silage the
yer round and greatly curtailing the
pasturage- 1t is surprising how SLOW
the farmers in many sections are to
accept the silo as adjunct to then
cattle feeding operations, whether these
cattle be for beef dairy purposes
On high-priced land the silo will pa.
a large interest on the money invested
! in it. If silage is fed summer as vel
! as winter the cows will not drop of

milk production. The money value o
this milk alone will go a long way to

These are not times when men can
go along in a careless, haphazard way;
they must think plan and act, says
the Kansas Dairy Farmer. From the
selection of the dairy herd. the proper
feeding and care of the cows, the de-
livery of the milk to the creamery
working it up into butter, and so on
up to the marketing of the article the
best judgment is needed; and when all
these points are looked after carefully
and with the constant thought of
economy, it is surprising how much
more cheaply the goods can be pro-
duced than they could few years ago.

contemporary says that hens are
not fond of oats. as is evidenced by the
fact that when wheat, oats and corn
are thrown down together, the birds
pick up the oats last The experience
of the writer is that this depends on
the habits OF the hens. They seem TO
like any food that they have become
accustomed to- Probably the hens
mentioned had been receiving more
corn and wheat than oats The writer
fed oats for months to his hens and
then took them off oats for few days.
At the end of that time he gave them
a mixture of oats and corn The hens
picked out the oats before eating the
corn 1t might be added that during
the time when the hens had not
