Sore Teats.

A subscriber from Kelley, Iowa,

few of my milk cows. The teats of the
cows will cloee up go that I can hardly
get any milk. There forms . kind Of
scab on the end of the test and If this is
removed 1t is still difficult to get the
milk out" The tests of the COW are IL
able to various affections, which more
or less impede the flow Of milk, or stop
1t altogether. One Of the chief causes
of these obstructlens are small tumors
of about the sizepf q pea, which may
be felt on comprising the teat between
the finger and the thumb, and can be
often moved up and down the teat. In
these cases 9 silver probe, or knitting
needle may be passed up the teat, and
the obstruction either broken down, or
passed into the udder, where they may
remain without giving further trouble.
These sometimes come down SO far as
to get injured and in that case produce
scab over the end of the teat. This
may be the trouble in this case, al

Decrease in tho shipments.

Reports received ny the state dairy
commissioner, B. P. Norton, show that
while the number of creameries in
Iowa increased from 984 to 994 during
the past year, the shipments of butter
out Of the state decreased. The rail-
way companies furnish to the state
dairy commissioner an accurate and
complete report of all butter ship
ments from the stations in Iowa.
The figures submitted represent gross
pounds, Including tubs or other recep-
tacles. The gross pounds in 1899 were
81, ,229.579. The gross pounds for the
year ending September 80, 1900, are IS,
380,154. The commissioners report for
the year ending May l showed that
there had been decrease in the pro-
duction of butter owing to the high
price Of calves and young cattle. As
long as cattle bring high price 1t is
not 80 profitable to milk COWS, and less
butter is produced. At the same time
there has been 9 slight increase in home
consumption of butter. This amounts
to only about per cent.
The following table shows the total
butter shipments from this portion Of
the state.

Children in Russia have a way of Gel
ebrating Christmas that is quite differ
ent from that of American boys and
girls. In certain part of Russia it is
customary for the little people to dress
to represent animals and go running
about town. like wild beasts. Some
times they represent wolves, bears and
even ostriches. OF course this is> done
by dressing in the skins of wild beasts
The boys who are not disguised as ami
mails, pretend they are the keepers.
Some of the party play musical instru-
ments. Others carry torches, and alto
gether the sight is very weird. They
go to every house and give an enter
tainment. Then, of course, the einmates
offer them refreshments at the end of
the performance.
At other places in Russia religious
entertainments are popular. These en-
tertainments are given In small play
house with marionettes (the little fig
ures made to act by means of strings).
One boy carries the small theater on his
shoulder. Another carries q brilliant
banner, and another long pole, to
the end Of which is fastened q lantern.
These lanterns are arranged something
like the ones used In political parades
in this county. The sides are trans
parent, and on them are sketched
scenes representing the Christian his
tory of the day. The procession goes
about to every house, when the man or
woman Of the house answers the call
