The Modern Dairy ma n.

%
| In an address given before the State
Dairymen's Association at New Haven,
Governor Hoard dealt with the modern
aspects Of dairying as compared with
those which had governed the industry
In bygone days. In the course OF his
remarks, he said:
The last third Of a century marks an
epoch in the progress of the dairy In
dustry to certain extent in all parts
Of the world. There is something pc
culiar about this industry in its effect
on the men who follow it *intelligently.
They stand foremost in the ranks OF
agriculture in the point Of intellectual
conquest. Dairying calls for the best
Judgment and work in the tillage OF
the soil and the growing Of grass and
grain. It calls for special knowledge
in the care and harvesting of those
crops, in order that they may inpart
their highest food value.
1t calls for a special study in the
principles and art of animal feeding,
SO that the cow may be given ration
fitted to the functional work she has
in hand and our highest profit. 1t calls
for a special judgment in. the matter
OF constructing barns, stables. sll0s,
yards, and drinking places, for we are
dealing with high order Of animal
life. Herein is valuable also a knowl-
edge of farm sanitation-what it's prin-
ciples, limitations, and results are We
are responsible for the crowding to-
gether of large numbers of. COWS, and
we must hold ourselves responsible to
them, and the public whose food they
yield, for as perfect and healthful a
mode Of life as it is possible for US to
provide for them. It calls for knowl-
edge of the laws Of reproduction,
whereby we may make use of the forces
Of nature to the manifest increase Of
dairy power in our cattle. We have no
right to sit still or act indiherently Oh
this question, The cows of a state
are what its dairy farmers have made.
No other branch of agriculture is as
socialistic as dairying, for it is Or
ganized very greatly all over the land
into cheese factories and creameries.
Here, again, is a special endowment OF
sound sense required. The moment such
organization takes place, the farmer
finds himself no longer producer, but
manufacturer. He must learn how
to cooperate with his fellow farmers,
according to the laws of business. He
must study the finer economics of man
ufacturing. He is to be the creator
Of one of the finest foods on earth,
which, like Caesars wife, must be
above suspicion

HIS LIFE'S MISTAKE,
"WhV did T never narrv9 VIZ,

white haired bachelor, settled back in

she was as fair and lovely a girl as

her ancestors were among the F. z.

while slender little creature, she
was splendid horsewoman, and knew
every inch Of our rugged mountain
roads. OF course that was just be-
Rore the war, and was young chap
then.
Her name was Lucy, a good, old
fashioned name that we southerners
still cherish, and do not change to the
more airy Lucille, as do our northern
meighbors. It doesn't matter about her
surname; you'd all recognize it were 1

and had two large brothers, who look

guarded her quite as zealously. I first
had to win their friendship before get
ting anywhere near being even a mere
acquaintance with Lucy. ..
When the war broke out both
brothers were filled with the enthusi-
:asm of the battlefield, and by constant
aallusions to their bravery, and adroit
carefully Worded remarks concerning
their excellent appearance in the uni
forms of the confederate gray, Il soon
won them completely over. AS fol-

for some time, but suffice to say that

thunder Of Shiloh little golden curl,
"a locket enclosing the photograph Of a
pretty girl, and a Bible, her gifts, were
snugly and carefully tucked away in
the lining Of my coat.

in the same regiment, and in that way
I frequently heard from her. Their
father, a strong minded, stub born, arts
socratic old talloW, had positively for
hidden an engagement or even com
munfcation Of any sort. She was too
young, he said, to have her mind turn

She made no effort to disobey, but
when she gave me the curl and locket
and looked at me through tears that

eyes, I felt that in the battle of hearts

of time I'd claim the indemnity Of war

Rival to sil1xen Fans.

ages. His fan buzzes and is not beau.
tiful, but it provides steady draught.
Of cool air.
In appearance it is a cross between
an egg-beater and a gloye-stretcheer.
It is made of wood and brass, and ne
asserts that, in expert hands, it can be
made to reach a speed of 5000 revoiu-
tions per minute,eand will throw a cur
rent Of air as far as an electric fan OF
the same size.
It works by COMPRISING in the hand
two wooden handles Of a glove stretch
er-like arrangement. A ratchet and
two small cog wheels at the end of the
arms transmit the force to the blades
Of the fan, which are minia ture electric
fan blades. Both OF. these are detach-
able, so that the fan may be easily
carried when not in use. 3
The inventor says that he has dis
posed Of 1000 Of his hand fans in few
months. He isn't sanguine of it's gem

thinks that lots Of men would use it in

Chick with Pin.

Herewith we illustrate chicken
with the gapes-popularly called the
pip. Many farmer sees his chicks
acting as indicated in the illustration
and imagines that the food is not
right. The food is changed, but the
trouble is not obviated. The difficulty
is the presence of the cape worm, a
little red worm with V-shaped term
mus. This V is formed by the juncture
of the male and female worms. We
give this much for Identification pur-
poses. The worms inhabit the trachea.
Sometimes they can be removed by a
feather and some claim to remove them
with drops of turpentine. Others have
failed in all the things they have tried.
Without doubt prevention is the fac
tor that should receive the most at
tention. When the chicks show the
symptoms indicated, have all the young
chicks put at once on board floors
where they cannot get at the dirt. The
angle worm and dirt in which the
angle worm is found are the sources
of contagion. After the chicks are ma
ture they are not injured by the gapes,

A report from Professor McFadyean
