AIR AND EXERCISE.
Proper Care of MIX Cows During

Proper Care Of Milk Cows During
the Winter.
In order to secure the most milk pos
sible during the winter months great
many dairymen keep their cows hops.
ed from early fall until late spring, CIV
ing them but little IL any outdoor air
and exercise, says G. Jeffry in The
American Agriculturist. Now these
changed conditions are oil right If the
change gives the cows greater comfort
and health. But in good many stables
the ventilation is decidedly bad and
the animal Is day after day laying in a
stock of disease germs, for. whatever
you may do to your stables and how
ever we'll You may treat your cows as
to feed and care, IL ventilation has
been imperfect or neglected 1t is sure to
result in some form Of disease. Circu-
latiOn and ventilation are inseparable
and indispensable to perfect health. No
ventilation is good that does not carry
the foul air out Of the stable and sup
ply fresh and wholesome air in it's
stead. The air of the stable should
never be exhausted or vltiated. If the
ventllators do not communicate with
the outside air, they are Of but little
use, as the hay, grain and straw readi-
" absorb the foul air, which Is return
ed. to the system again In the form OF
feed to continue its deadly work.
The ventilators should go from the
stable up through the roof, and cir
culation should be brought about by
taking air through the walls to the
ventilators in such way as to produce
q direct supply Of fresh air. BY ar
ranging these ventilatOrs at each cor
ner Of the building a perfect circula-
ton may be effected. l know Of no
cases Of tuberculosis where the stables
have n good circulation Of good whole

animals that are Kept In open sheds

Warmth is not the greatest essential
to comfort and health. Exercise In the
sun with a bracing atmosphere Is pro-
ductive of real health and comfort. The
dairy COW must have 1t and plenty Of 1t
or she will not do her best as a healthy
milk producer
This Is a subject which must be con-
sidered vital to every milk producer. as
no milk can be healthful food that
comes from q diseased cow. All anil
mails are affected to O greater or less
extent II they are not furnished with
pure air and proper exercise. The
strong and robust do not become so by
idleness. Carry out natures plans.
Give plenty of sunlight and air, pure
and bracing, with moderate exercise to
bring the various functions into active
play, and you will kill the disease you
have been nursing.

the males for heifers Of the same breed
and stick by that breed and the rule Of
breeding only from and to the best OBJ
tainable. Do not inbred more than
once as q rule and avoid breeding Of

The other way is for the man who
has a larger herd-say Of 20 to 80 cows
or more-or several who together can
have that number, to unite in buying
as good a male as they can get, raising
males for beef or veal, and observing
the same rules in breeding. The first
is the slower method, but should result
in a good pure bred herd in time. The
other makes quicker increase and a
herd likely to prove profitable in dairy
or the fattening yard If followed up. 1t
would be apt to yield profit before
the other method gave very great re-
turns. The first might be more profit
able In the end IL one was always sue
cessful In has mating and could refuse
tempting offers for his best animals
until he had more than he wanted to
retain. We would take our chances
with the grade herd. but others might
have more confidence In the pure

the nondescript known as the scrub

rienced dairynen are as varied as are
the breeds themselves, but all will per-
haps agree that the best four breeds
for strictly dairy purposes are Jerseys,
Guernseys, Holsteins and Ayrshires.. 1t
is perhaps sufficient to say that the Jer-
sey and Guernsey are remarkable for
the richness Of their milk and the ease
with which 1t is converted into the best
quality Of butter. They are not In
clined to lay on fat and muscle and
therefore are not adapted for beef. The
Holstein is n very large animal and Is

country report that where we'll man
aged cooperative or proprietary cream
cries exist, farmers who have hereto
fore been making their own butter are
now sending their cream to the factory,
says The American Agriculturst. This
is as it should be. The time spent In
making butter at home can yield
larger profit utilized in other ways, es-
pecially when a creamery Is conven-
iently at hand. 1t greatly promotes the
success Of a creamery to furnish but

PLAN FOR HOTBED.

PLAN FOX HOIBED.
which is a layer Of fertile soil. The
bed should be located where it will be
easy of access, but it should be on dry
ground and not where water could flow
over the ground and about its base,
even in wet weather. 1t should also be
sheltered from heavy winds, and with
q full exposure to the sun. In prepara-
ton for n bed the fresh manure and
long litter arc collected from stables and
drawn together to the location Of the
bed, where it is placed in a cOnical
pile. AS the manure is thus thrown to-
gether 1t Is packed down by treading
on it, the treading being repeated as
the bed Is raised n few inches at O
time, until the pile is finished off to
point at the top.
After few days it may be noticed
that the pile is heating by seeing steam
rise from it. 1t is then customary to
handle over the manure, shaking it out
and again making it into pile and
tramping it down as before. In two
or three days the signs of heating will
again be evident, and it is then ready
to be made into a bed. The bed should
be made large enough to extend at
least foot outside Of the frame at
sides and ends. In throwing the ma
nure into shape as the pile rises in
height every few inches it should be
beaten down with the back of the fork
so that the material will be of uniform
density. The bed should be two feet
OF two and half feet in depth. The
deeper it is the steadier and longer con-
tinued will be the heat.
When the bed is finished evenly on
top, the frame can be set ON and COW
cred with the sashes. In q few days n
strong heat will rise, and when this
abates somewhat, so that the thermom-
eter thrust into the manure indicates
only IS degrees or 90 degrees, layer
Of rich, mellow soil that has been pre-
viously prepared should be placed in
the frame and spread evenly over the
bed to q depth of about six inches.
The bed is now ready for use, and seed
sowing in 1t can commence. In the
management Of hotbed constant ref
erence must be made to q shaded ther-
mometer kept inside, and air must be
given sufficiently to keep the tempera.
ture down to about 20 degrees.

q SO called scrub" COW may be all that
could be desired as a dairy animal,
even equal to a thoroughbred, but there
will be no certainty that her offspring
win partake of the same character.
Proficiency, or the power to transmit
certain qualities to the offspring, is one
of the results of long course Of care
full breeding, and this power resides
chiefly in the male parent; hence all
efforts to improve the common stock Of
the country should be guided by the
rule that the bull should be a thorough
bred, registered animal and the cow
should be the best Of its kind.

Causes of Tainted Milk.

Some Of the causes Of tainted milk
are poor, decayed fodder, dirty water,
whether used for drinking or the wash
ing of utensils; foul air in the COW sta
BILE or cows lying in their manure; lack
Of cleanliness in milking, neglecting TO
air the milk rapidly directly after milk
ing, lack Of cleanliness in care Of the
milk, from which cause the greater
number of milk taints arise, and the
mixing Of fresh and old milk in the
same cans, and rusty tin pals and cans.

Of the two former. When no longer
profitable for the dairy on account Of
age or individual defects. she fattens
kindly and makes large return in
good beef. The Ayrshire Is also noted
for her large yield Of milk Of good
quality, but not rich in butter fat. She
is not desirable as q beef animal. 1t is
fair to say that the Jersey and Guern-
sey are especially fitted for butter pro-
duction, while the Holsteln and Ayr.
shire are better suited for milk dairy
or for producing milk for consumption
as such. .

for dairy purposes. Certain strains Of
Shorthorns, it is claimed, will fill these
requirements. Ff
In commencing the business Of dairy.
ing it is we'll for the farmer to decide
promptly the particular line Of work he
will follow. 1t is by no means neces-
sary to start with herd OF none but
pure bred animals, but 1t Is highly I'M
portant to have at the head Of this herd
q pure bred bull and two or three pure
bred cows. For strictly dairy purpose
grade COW may be just rs profitable
as a pure bred, and will generally cost
much less. But few suggestions In
regard to the several points which In
dictate desirable qualitles-or the re-
verse-will not be out Of place.
The head should be rather small. but
proportionately long, with narrow
muzzle. The eyes should be small. but
with bright and intelligent look. The
horns should be small, and set rather
wide apart at the bases. The neck
should be long, slender and with q
graceful taper toward the head and
with no loose skin below. The shout
ders should be thin. and the forequar-
tiers light; the headquarters should be
large and open or "loose jointed." the
back straight, and broad across the pei

The udder should be broad. square and
capacious and stretching forward. but
not fleshy, low hung nor loose. The

prominent, and the teats large and set
well apart from each other. The skin
should be loose and thin, and the hair
soft and fine. n.
An Individual COW Of any breed may
be deficient in one or more Of the above
points and yet prove to be an excellent
mixer, but If one conforms In all the
points she can hardly fail to be supe-
rior animal, and such close conformity
is proof of careful previous breeding
and a guarantee that her offspring
will be like herself If the cow be prop
erly mated 1t may be also added that

OYSTER TRADE DULL.
Warm Weather Prevents Very Much
of Demand.

Warm Weather Prevents Very Much
of Demand.
Though the oyster season really be-
gins in Savannah, Sept. |, and though
the crop, from appearances, will be
fairly large and of excellent quality,
as yet there has been very little de-
mand for the bivalves, probably owing
to the prejudice of eating them during
hot weather.
Some oysters are furnished by the
restaurants and have been served in
such places since Aug. 20, when, in
fact, because the weather was cool,
there was really a larger demand for
them than there is now. The first oys
ters received were from Daufuskie.
Those from Thunderbolt and that vi
cinity are just now making their ap-
pearance in the market.
The quantity of oysters sold in the
market and about the street by buck
sters has been much smaller during the
past three or four seasons than for
merly. due to the immense quantity
that is canned by the factories st Tur-
ner's Rock and at Thunderbolt This
year, though, it is thought that many
of the old beds. have become replenish-
ed and that both the supply and prices
will be much better than last season.

Delightful Evening of Song and

The regular quarterly meeting of the
Hibernian Society was held at the club
rooms of the society, at the Hussars'
Club last night. There were present
about fifty members of the society
with Vice President John R. Dillon
presiding.
1t was an interesting and enjoyable
gathering. There was but little bust
ness to transact, but four or five MEM
bers were admitted to the order, and
the regular routine of business was
gone through before the evening was
given up to the aftermath of speeches,
story and song by which the regular
business meeting is always followed.
Those members of the society who were
present pronounced the meeting one
of the most pleasant of the quarterly
gatherings that have been held for
years.
In the aftermath of the meeting
songs were sung by Mr.. E. j. Ken
needy and Col. Jordan F. Brooks, and
a number of stories were told by Mr..
William Harty. That the former
were delightfully."- rendered and the lat
ter most humorously told does not need

WOMAN's OUTRAGEOUS ACTS.
She Was Fined by Recorder for Dis
order Most Pronounced.

Or0er Most Pronounced
Nit Morrison, a woman of the half
world, living on Gwinnett street, east,
and we'll known to the police, was
fined SIS by Recorder Myrick in Police
Court yesterday for disorderly conduct
of the worst form.
The witnesses against the woman
swore that she had been guilty of the
most improper acts while on a drunk
en- debauch, and the defendants at
tempt at denial was feeble. She ad-
mitted that she had been drunk but
claimed that she did not remember
her acts of disorder at that time. To
the police. the woman is known as a
demon when in her cups, and 1t was
easy for the officers to realize that
what the witnesses said was true.
The Morrison woman was able to pay
her fine, and was not committed to jail
for thirty days. the alternative fixed
by the court. 1t was in the Morrison
Woman's house that woman attempt

was usually lucky enough to
void by ducking. In this
case Feltz thought that Bennett failed
TO duck.
Roth men were still nervy and de-
+ermined when the accident happened
and the indications were that the fight
would continue a few rounds more,
perhaps for the full twenty-five. The
General verdict was that Bennett had
the better of it, but there were warm
admirers of Daily, who insisted that he
still had a good chance to win.
Daly and Bennett seem to be under
an unlucky star in their bouts in Sa-
vannah. The contest between them
several weeks ago was awarded to
Daly on a foul, much to the dissatis
faction of the crowd, and now the
tables are turned and the decision goes
TO Bennett on the same ground.
AS usual, there was considerable
money bet on the fight, but none for
very large amounts, so far as could be
learned. Some of the bettors had pro-
tected themselves with clause that
no bets should stand should there be
a foul, and so will save their cash.
The next fight, 1t was announced,
will be between Tommie Feltz and
Austin Rice on the night of Sept 81
and will also be for rs rounds.
The police squad which attended
the fight last night in charge of Pa
trolman McQuade, had stricter instruc-
lions than usual. Their orders were
not to permit any brutality, and to
interfere promptly in case the fight
approached this stage. They were also
instructed to put stop to the I'M
seemly demonstrations, and the free
use of vile language which Is some-
times INDUCED in by the tougher ele-
ment among the devotees of the sport.
When Daily received his blow on the
nose, which brought the blood in the
sixth round, officer McQuade came
very near interfering, and informed
Manager AL McMurray that he thought
it was time to stop the fight. McMur-
ray requested him to wait until the
end of the round, when he assured
him that the bleeding at the nase
would be stopped without the slightest
difficulty. The fight was allowed, but
ii had a close call for a time.

1Oung negroes Arrested for Petty
Larceny by Police.
Juvenile hall thieves have been oper-
ating quite frequently recently, and
several robberies of this sort have been
reported at police headquarters. The
young negro thieves manage to slip in
to halls, and relieve hatracks of UNI
brellas and hats without being detected.
The frequency of the robberies caused
the city detectives to take a hand in
the deal, and three arrests were made
yesterday.
Patrolman Russell arrested Nelson
Bennett, aged Is years, for entering the
hall of Mrs. NJ. Brown of No. 207 Perry
street, west, with intent to steal, yes
terday morning. The boy was dis
covered in the residence and was
chased down Perry street. and into the
arms of the patroiman. He could give
no satisfactory reason for his presence
in the place. Later in the day Tom
Rivers, alias Pomp. and Evan Alexan-
der, both negro boys, were arrested by
Detective Stark and charged with being
suspicious characters. The police say
that they have been working with Ben
nett, and that they will be able to fast
en- at least one crime upon them. Both
of the prisoners deny that they have
been leading anything but an honest
life, but the detectives say that is not
the case.
