A fine looking cow offered for sale by
dairyman always carries letter of
discredit, says w. F. McSparrow in
National Stockman. If the unfortunate
dairyman is poor, but honest" he will
not sell her for a good COW. The law
is he must fatten her and send her to
the butcher. But the dairyman is get
ting very far from "brains" when he
goes into the beef business, and if he

her fattened for $50. If he is rich but
dishonest, it is hard to tell what he
will do. 1 could only speak from oD-
servation.
Neither does a good cow take poverty
She is often not fed enough. She may
have had brains out of balance to car
bohydrates and by good feeding be
brought to the position of respectable
ty in the dairy world for which the
DIVINITY that shapes our ends'' in
tended her. Surely the greatest pro-
vision of the dairy law is feed.
I cannot understand why every farm
er dairyman is not also a breeder, so
that he can add to the dairy law ''bet-
ter breeding;;' also, then he will get a
proper understanding of pedigrees, for

have a full appreciation Of the expense
of raising a two or three year old cow,
but it is easier than going out and buy

Some claim a poor dairyman can't af-
ford to raise his COWS, but largely
what they eat is never missed. 1t is
like feeding the children that come.
Cleaning the Creamery Churn.
J. Bunting of Michigan in Creamery
Journal tells how he cleans his churn
as follows: I use handful Of sal soda
and one Of salt, together with two ia
blespoonsful Of potash or I've with four
ordinary pals of hot water. [ pour
this in the churn and start it going, but
am always sure to leave the venting

two minutes, draw the water off into

Corn and Coyvpea Silage.

A Kentucky dairyman gives in Rural
New Yorker his experience in mixing
corn and coWpeas in his silo. He says:
I tried filing my silo for several
years with corn alone. l then tried fill
ing with corn and cowpeas and was so
well pleased that I kept it up for sever
al years till l sold out my dairy. Judg-
ing by the way the cows ate them, if
anything the peas made the better 81
lage. When run through the CUTTER the
green peas would cut very fine and
pack very close and make a better
keeping silage than the corn alone, and
for me it had one other decided advan-
tage in growing the crop.
1t is very convenient to have what
ever you put in the silo near at hand,
and by growing corn and cowpeas I
could use the same field each year,
growing one-half in each and alternat-
ing. The fourth crop with this rotation
was the heaviest. AS soon as the silo
was filed the ground was narrowed
and sown to rye. One hundred pounds
of rawbOne to the acre was the only
manuring it had. The calves ran on
the rye all open weather during the
winter, and when it started to grow in
the spring my herd of forty COWS was
hardly able to keep it down till the
blue grass got a start, when it was
plowed again and left alone for several
weeks, then thoroughly prepared and

Keeping; at 1t.

There is a very old but very good
story about a boy who was engaged
one winter day in putting ton of coal
into cellar. His only implement was
small fire shovel. Noticing this, a
benevolent old gentleman expressed
surprise and commiseration.
my son." said the gentleman, you
surely do not expect to put in all that
coal with that little shovel?"
''Oh, yes, do" replied the boy cheer
fully. Cali have to do is to keep at
it"
There is a lesson in this story for
young and old, and it is exemplifed in
the lives of the great men of the world.
1t is a mistake to suppose that the best
work of the world is done by people of
great strength and many opportunities.
Keeping at it, is the secret of success.

AN EXPLANATION.

If you'll make diagnosis when you're feeling cad
and dreary,
AS you would with any everyday disease;
If you'll simply question science as to why you're
glum and weary
And everything seems dull and i'll at case,
Perhaps you will discover, after devious calcula-
tions,
The cause of all these symptoms which appall,
And you'll smile as you reflect, in spite of various
irritations,
That it's nothing but the weather after all.
You'll find sigh denoting neither sorrow nor
contrition;
tear drops not indicative Of care.
They are products of the meteorological cond-
ton,
Of extra moisture that is in the air.
So perhaps it's not in reason fortunes chance to
be reviling
Or to life's store Of happiness is small,
For when the sun comes out again, again we will
be smiling;
It's nothing but the weather after all.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr.. Kimer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver bladder and every part
of the urinary passage. 1t corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of LIQUOR,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to 60 often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp=Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

In making up a dairy ration one
should consider the effect of the ration,
first, upon the animal; second, upon the
product as to quality; third, upon the
product as to quantity; fourth, upon
expenses, and fifth, upon the manure.
The effect of the ration upon the ami
NAL. is, in the opinion of H. Hayward
of the Pennsylvania experiment sta
ton, the most important point to be
considered, for no matter how well
ration may be balanced, according to
any of the standards, if it does not keep
the system open and in a normal con-
ditiOn the animal cannot do normal
work. AS a careful feeder knows, con-
dition is indicated by the sickness of
the coat, brightness of the eye and gen.
eral carriage and appearance Of the
animal. A ration may as we'll be COM
posed of cOrnstalks and cornmeal if it
fails to keep the animals system in a
normal, natural condition.
Winter Feeding.
The farmer who has silo filed with
good corn ensilage, a little mixed hay
and some corn in the crib can settle the
winter feeding question easily and eco
nomically, since all he needs to supple
ment the farm products is a nitroge-
nous concentrate, says q correspondent
of National Stockman. The feeder who
has neither silage nor roots will find
it more difficult to decide in regard to
his winter feeding, for instead of de-
pending upon the laxative effect of
ensilage to keep his cattle in good con-
dition he will be obliged to use some
commercial byproduct for this purpose.
Of these linseed meal and bran have
this effect upon cattle in a pronounced
manner. Although both these feeds
are at the present time very high, more
or less Of one or both of them must be
fed, since it is absolutely necessary if
the best results are to be obtained to
keep milking COWS or feeding cattle in
good normal condition.
Amount of Hay 10 Feed.
When hay or other roughage is in
good condition, no more should be
placed before the COW than she will
consume with relish, says Hoard's
Dairyman. This rule should be enforc-
ed and followed with strict precision,
this season above all Others
Sailing the Cows.
Do not omit the daily allowance of
salt to the COWS, says Hoard's Dairy
man. Salt not only is an appetizer but
it is an aid to digestion and especially
to digestion of the protein elements in
feed. The old fashion of taking meas
ure of salt once or twice a week and
scattering it on the grass, with the
COWS frantic to get at it, is not the best
way to supply this condiment.

Reports from "a Kansas counties, mostly
in the eastern and central parts OF the

The late product has not yet begun to tas-

Sailors Get Prize Money.

Mount Ayrie, Ca, July l5.-Judge
Spear of the United States superior court
has handed down his decree distributing
the money arising from the capture of the
British steamer Adula during the Spanish
war.
The Adula was owned by the Atlas
Steamship company and chartered to a
Spaniard, Don Jose Soils. The capture
was made by the Marblehead, Commander
McCalla, while the Adula was attempting
to run blockade at Guatanamo bay dur
ing the Spanish-American war. The amount
realized on the stipulation given by the
owners for the Adula was $4,000. This
sum, less the costs and expenses of keeping
the ship, expenses of litigation, insurance,
losses from salvage and the like, was dis
tributed, one half to the United States and
one half to the officers and enlisted men of
the navy entitled to the prize money.

HE IS TO BE COURT MART1ALED
He Telegraphed His Resignation, nut
1t Was Not Accepted-An Actress
In the Casc-She Was OHered
$1,000 Week Salary.

San Francisco, July 15.-Captain Put
nam Bradlee Strong, who expected to
sail for Manila on the transport Grant,
has had his transportation revoked,
and though he has telegraphed his
resignation from the regular army 1t
has not yet been accepted by Secretary
Root, who has requested him to send
his resignation in the usual way by
mall giving specific reasons for his
desire to quit the service which he
showed so much eagerness to join.
Strong gives as reason for his resigna-
ton the necessity of looking after the
estate left by his father, but this Is
regarded here as subterfuge
Military men who have followed the
case carefully say his resignation by
wire came after he had vainly tried to
get the government to give him trans
portation on the steamer Nippon Maru,
which carries Lady Francis Hope to
Hong Kong. They say he telegraphed
his resignation through fear that he
would be courtmartialed for his open
and notorious relations with the wo-
man, who is better known as May
'Yohe, the actress.
This theory gets strong corrobora-
tion from the fact that Major General
Young, who recently succeeded Major
General Shafter in charge of this de-
partment, is angry over Strong's esca-
pade, which has brought the army Off
Ger into offensive notoriety, and he has
declared that Strong should be arrest
ed and tried for conduct unbecoming
an officer and gentleman.
Lady Hope received local theatrical
manager and discussed contract for
two years at 81 ,0O0 per week He wants
her to open here, but she prefers Hong
Kong.
