TO WHOM DO I'VE OWE IT?

Nowadays just as one gets firmly set tied in the notion that this or that Is true somebody comes along and shows that the notion, if not entirely ridicu- lous, is not well founded. Perhaps most of the people of the United States be- lieve they owe a debt of gratitude to Great Britain for preventing a Euro- pean coalition against the United States early in 1898. The story was that the governments of Continental Europe had decided upon concerted action to prevent the United States from depriv- ing Spain of her territorial possessions in the West Indies. The success of the movement depended upon the co-opera- ton or neutrality of Great Britain. The British government was sounded unof- ficially by the representative of one of the European powers interested in the scheme as to what its attitude would be in the event that pressure was brought to bear upon the United States. Great Britain's reply, we were told, was prompt and unconditional refusal to take part in the movement, coupled with the intimation that if the United States was attacked by the European coalition Great Britain would make common cause with America.
 Now comes M. Gabriel Hanotaux, who was the French minister of foreign affairs during the Spanish American war, and denies that the attitude of Great Britain had any bearing upon the collapse of the European coalition in

Along the coast of La brador are trapped the darkest skinned minks so highly prlzed by fur con- noisseurs. These skins stand foremost am Q n 2 Eastern Minks, approach ing in richness and beauty the pelts of tiieir famous cousins, the Hudson Bay Stables.
 This fur will be much worn this season and next and is much to be desired on the ground of warmth and beauty and fashion. Our stock of skins is of great interest.
 We lay great stress up- on beautiful condition of the furs sold by us. We guarantee our furs to be free from injurious chem icals, thoroughly cured and dressed, and stran- gers to the sweat shops of contract labor.

The accompanying illustration shows
some cOnvenienceS not always found.
Some trouble has arisen in connection
with solid iron rods lacking fiexibility.
Silo expansion and cold weather have
caused them to break. The Page wire

and has the advantage of overcoming
to a degree this difficulty, but other
objections seem to offset it, SO that II

as good. The system of doors has al
ways been difficult one to solve. The
continuous door is the only satisfactory
one. yet the patent doors that l have
seen are open to many objections not
necessary to enumerate here. My idea
was to get door that should be con-
tinuous, hung on the outside, firmly
held and always ready to use. This we
secured by alternating the doors with
two slaves between them uncut. The
heavy iron cleats formed to the circle
serve also as hinges. They are bolted
to similar iron on the inside, counter
sunk in the door and slaves. These
doors are fastened with refrigerator
door fasteners, two on the lower doors
and one on the doors nearer the top,
holding the doors absolutely to their
place. The dormer window in the roof
furnishes sufficient light and q place to
fill. We have. therefore, combined du-
rability, effectiveness and convenience.

High Feeding.

There are at least two kinds of high
feeding-frst. feeding a large ration
intelligently, and, second, feeding with
out any purpose whatever, says L. w.
Lightly in The National Stockman. Just
a few days ago l visited a farmer
who keeps quite number Of cows to
supply milk for a small town. He has
the reputation of being a very high
feeder, and his cows, young stock and
calves are as fat as porkers, which
proves that, in a way, he is a high
feeder. l never like to be personal, so
I will mention no name, and the party
referred to will not read this, as he
takes no paper but his party's po-
litical county sheet, flied with "hot
stuff" He gave me all the facts and
figures he could, which were mere
guesses, except the milk bills, and I
would like 90 give few as an lawful
example.
He had Il milk COWS during the last
year, and his milk statements showed
that he sold 56,548 pounds of milk, for
which he received $491.96, or almost
pAo per COW. Lue COWS udu OH luS
hay (timothy) and corn stover they
wanted to eat. Their grain ration con-
sisted Of corn chop, corn chop, corn
chop. A "tolp' box full morning and
night, about II pounds per day. The
cost Of his daily ration is at least II
cents, while the average daily income
for each cow was last year almost
cents. Oh, dear, oh dear! What a re-
suit from high feeding! No careful
reader Of The Stockman and Farmer
will do such feeding, but hundreds,
yes, thousands of nonreaders do this
very thing. For fattening steers such
a ration might go, but for dairy COWS,
never. 1t puts a big lot Of fat on the
ribs at q dead loss. The blood making
and milk making materials are lack
ing in the ration, while there is big
surplus of heat and fat makers. In
short, the cows do not get half enough
protein. and the result is clarifying

BITTER MILK.
The Subject From Bacterial Point
of View

The psychologists, some of them at
least, say a bacterial organism gets
in the milk during milking, which
there multiplies SO rapidly as to soon
make the milk bitter, writes DR.. Smead
in The National Stockman. Well, that
may be true sometimes, but more times
it is not true in my experience. Some
COWS long in location will produce q
bitter, nauseous milk by reason Of a
natural change going on in their Owl
system. Of this l am fully convinced,
and have so expressed myself in a
previous article. In other cases a COW
badly fed will give bitter milk, or a
diseased condition Of the udder will
do the same. The latter we can easily
find out by simply milking each teat
separately and thus find which quarter
is producing this kind of milk, as it is
rare indeed that each quarter is ailing.
Not SO when the cows liver or di-
gestion is deranged. Then all the teats
will furnish bitter milk. The same
Is true when the length Of lactation is
the cause. 1t is therefore important
to know about these things before pre-
scribing. The COW whose habit is to
give bitter milk when five, six or seven
months in lactation had better be dried
off and sold for beef. The one whose
liver or digestion is off should have a
pound of EPSON salts given as physic
and two drains of powdered man
drake root to stimulate her liver into
proper action. This should be followed
by half ounce doses of powdered hypo-
sulphite of soda morning and night I'M
til the trouble ceases. If bad, moldy
food is the cause, correct that by a bet
ter class of food. If, as the bacteriolo-
gist says, she is carrying around on her
carcass a lot Of filth laden germs, ready
to drop in the milk, go at her with
soap and water, curry comb and brush,
backed up with plenty of elbow grease,
and scrub off the old cow and make
her clean. Then clean the stable. Use
lime or land plaster freely in it, and
bed the COW with clean, dry straw.
Some mems COWS l know of would
look a little wild out of their eyes and
might cause the owner to believe they
were going crazy, but they won't.

Sugar Beet Puln For Cows.

At the jacksonville (Cal) factory
sugar beet pulp sells all the way from
25 to so cents per ton. AS it can be
held a long time in the silo and is fed
to best advantage when old, it is avail
able the entire year. According to
notes collected by r. A. Pearson of the
dairy division at Washington, publish
ed in a recent bulletin, the fresh pulp
is piled or placed in silo. This silo
is very crude. 1t also costs very lit
tie. The pulp is very soft when first
put in and generally settles considera-
BY. OF course the top layers decay,
and after time the entire mass is COW
cred with protecting layer three to
six inches thick. In few months the
individual pieces Of beets, originally
two or three inches long and quite slen-
der, are broken down. and the material
reminds one of cold mush, grayish
brown in color. Three tons-Sof the
fresh pulp make about one ton when
cured.

There are two varieties Of COWS
the cow that gives more than she eats
and the cow that eats more than she
gives. Which variety would you pre-
fer in making up dairy herd? Which
variety do you actually have? Now
there is no difficulty about telling the
cow Of one class from the cow Of the
other. = There used to be, but there
isn't now. The Babcock test does it
The apparatus consists of a small
scale, a, Babcock-t test, and little gump
ton. By testing each cow separately
a man can ksoon tell which ones are
paying a profit and which are merely
boarders.-American Agriculturist.

the Ordinary Structure.
7 asa constrained to believe that the
advocates of the so called cheap silos
are making a mistake, this conclusion
being drawn both from observation
and personal experience, says III. e.
Cook in The Rural New Yorker. 1t
may have been wise in the past to ad-
wise and to construct such silos, be-
cause many farmers considered it ex-
perimental, and I am willing to say
now that cheap construction
is better than none at all, from
the fact that few are bold enough
to deny it's necessity. We are warrant
ed in advising the building only of
thoroughly alright walls. Whether
we have yet reached the ideal am not
sure. We have been slowly solving
during the past ten years, and shall no
doubt make further improvements. I
think, however, that when we take into
consideration both cost and value, the
we'll built stave silo is the most salts
