Do Not Excite Mich Cows.

When we talk about preserving the
quality of milk in hot weather, we must
remember that some milk keeps better
than others.
mean by this that there are differ
ent grades of resistance to the action
of degenerative bacteria, and that some
milk will keep sweet and pure longer
than other kinds under the same condi-
tions.
How is this to be accounted for? one
would naturally ask.
First, the healthfulness and vigor of
the COW in great measure warrants
the hsalthfulness and purity of her
milk, as does also the character of the
food she eats.
Pure, healthy milk will not sour or
taint prematurely, unless under the
most adverse atmospheric conditions.
One frequent cause of . rapid de-
generative change in milk in hot wealth
era cause that is too often overlooked
is the overheating of COWS prior to
| milking.
To rush cows into the stable from the
pasture, night or morning, is to excite
them sufficiently physically to hea,
their milk to feverish point, quickly
undermining its quality.
So. in order to preserve milk in hot
weather, aeration, ice and cold water
are mockery unless the COWS are kept
cool and free from irritation.
| For this reason | have no use for ever
the most intelligent dogs to assist ir
driving COWS to and from the pasture,
The presence of such an animal i:
sure to excite some nervous, sensitive
COW, and such are usually the best milk
ers, and her lacteal yield, if alone af
! fected, will leaven the product of the
whole herd.
| Cows should always be handled and
driven deliberately, and so none but ex
perienced people who can always con
troll their temper should be abou
| them.
Get up early enough in the morning
so that you will not have to hurry the
COWS In from pasture, and quit field
work early enough at night for the
same reason.
When a farmer ceases to consider
dairying simply as "doing chores" bu
to regard it as one of the most import
ant interests be has on his place, then
and then only, is he prepared to make
his cows pay.
Never make dairying subservient to
other work unless you have no need O
a dairy income.-George E. Newell, il
Massachusetts Ploushman.

Remember that the carcass OF the
eve is part of the business, and do not
keep the animal SO long that it will die
on you hands or have no marketable
valve. 1t is better to raise few crops
of wool and lambs from her, and then
send her to market, raising meanwhile
a good lamb to take her place. In this
way keep up constant change and
never have any old creatures that out

Lots of farmers are feeding and car
ing for two cows that don't give as much
milk as one good animal would produce.
The expense of keeping these two ami
mails is practically twice what it would
be to keep one good one, and in most
cases the milk they give is of such a
character that it could be bought for
less than it costs to make it.

The Farmer Is Prospering

1t has been contended for soma time
past that while the farmer was com
PEELED 20 pay increased prices for his
supplies he was getting no more for his
products than he received before pros
perity came. This is not borne out by
the figures. The New York Journal OF
Commerce reports that on January Z,
1899, No. 2 red wheat was selling on
that market at 75c. psr bushel. and on
January z. 1901. at $3.50. During the
same period No mixed corn increased
from S95Sc. per bushel to 47c. mess
pork from $40 20 to $3.50; prime West
ern lard from s6, 6,l218 to ST. 55,sn cot
ton from 719c to 1910. per pound.
The advance In the price Of farm pro-
ducts has not kept pace with the ad'
vance in the price Of some OF the sup
plies which the farmer must purchase.
but to say that the price Of his products
has invariably gone down while the
price Of other products has gone up, is
an unfair statement Of the facts

M NEGRO DIES AT THE STAKE
Fred Alexander, Accused OF MaLy Crimes
Victim OF Kansas Mob.

Leavenworth, sn-After declaring
his innocence Of the crime charged
against him. Fred Alexander. a negro.
uttered q short prayer and died with
the words Of q Psalm upon his lips.
Chained to an iron post he was slowly
burned to death. His agony forced
from him no supplication OF human
mercy, and II 1t awakened pity In the
heart of one Of the 5000 persons who
witnessed the tragedy no indication
was made Of that fact
Alexander was charged with assault
and murder Of Pearl Forbes. a young
woman Of this city. That crime was
committed more than two months ago.
He was also charged with attempted
assault upon Eva May Roth and Kate
ellison last Saturday night. Both OF
these girls ind'ntided Alexander Of.
ter his arrest last Sunday morning. bot
he steadfastly maintained that q mis-
take had been made.
Alexander's funeral pyre was built
on the spot where Miss Forbes body
was found last November. To John
Forbes. the girls father, fell the right
to apply the match. AS the flames
slowly entwined the negro's writhing
body the great crowd gathered upon
the surrounding hillsides broke into q
shout Of approval.
The negro was taken from his cell at
the State Penitentiary, the mob drag
ging the negro by the coat collar He
had been struck over the head with q
hammer but was still conscious Men
fought TO get at him, and, infuriated,
struck sAvsgely at him hitting only his
oaptors, who guarded him we'll.
When the mob with its victim reach
cd the spot where Miss Forbes bcdy
was found a railroad iron was planted
upright. Around the improvised stake
wood and boards were piled. To tAis
the man was dragged and chained in
a standing posture to the upright rail-
road iron. Chains and irons were
wrapped about him, and. with his
hands still Shackled. he was made fast
TO the post Goal oil was then poured
over him.
Goal oil was applied for the second
time, and while it' was being done
Alexander called to acquaintances In
the crowd and said goodbye TO them.
H. did not seem to realize that he was
to be burned at the stake. and talked
nationally until John Forbes. the father
Of the murdered girl. lighted the match,
As the flames leaped about him,
Alexander turned q ghastly hue, and,
clasping his hands together. began to
sway TO and fro. while the crowd
yelled.
In five minut the negro was hang
ing limp and lifeless by the chains that
bound him. AS soon as the crowd saw
that life was extinct IL began to disperse
slowly. Hundreds, however. stayed TO
the last. Men kept pilling on wood
all the time until about o'clock, when
the flames were allowed to die down.
