High feeding encourages large
milk fec retion aud feverish con.
dition, which should be avoided
at calving.
1t should not be taken for grant
ed that every angular COW is a
good mixer or every smooth COW
a poor one.
Some cows posses the quality
of more perfect assimilation of
food for the production of milk
than others.

Another Suggestion on the Sorghum
Question.

see a great deal in the papers
about green sorghum killing cat
tie. | have theory differing from
most writer's. The green cane,
as we'll as the ripe, is very swe ct
and IS very watery;and if hungry
cattle get to it they eat It so raw
enonsly and so much of it that
before they can digest it it fer
ments in the hot stomach of the
COW, creating gas that kills.
1T is something like collie. 1t
sometimes kills within an hour
after eating. have had several
killed by it; they get to it by ac-
cident. Oats in the boot, think
will kill cattle, too, but not as
quickly as sorghum. Cut cow
open that is killed BY eating sor-
ghum and you will find an enor-
nous quantity of steaming sor-
ghum in her stomach and YOU
will see why 1t kills. Elk.

All the food that a COW con-
sumes that is necessary to MAIN
tain physical conditions is out
lay.
What makes the dairy COW
profitable is the keeping up a
good flow through all four sea-
sons.
A fair degree of excellence as
dairy COW can often be found in
an average general purpose COW.

How 10 Select a Cow.

Inc pTlEId AdSIC CNIuCuSS Va q
good COW is found in the churn,
or indicated in the testing appar-
a1us, but this evidence must be
substantisted by certain unfailing
characteristics in the cow herself.
A good butter COW in her general
form and makeup is just as diff
fercnt from the beef cow as the
thoroughbred horse is from the
horticultural horse. Each is in
tended Tor a different purpose,
and the breeder or purchaser who
tries to get both in the same ami
NAL fails to get good specimen
of either. Therefore, in select
ing dairy cow avoid all tendency
to bee, or one with a coarse bull
neck and head, thick round shout
ders, thin through the flank, and
a walrut-shaped udder. See that
the udder is not deeply quartered,
nor the teats bottle-shaped. She
shohd first have a robust constr
tuition, capable of doing hard
work, and possessing a great ca
pacity to digest and assimilate
large quantities of food, without
being coarse, or having any ten
dency to lay fat on her back in
stead of putting il into the churn.
She should have lean head and
neck, thin shoulders and withers,
medium length of leg, small bone,
good length of body, light before
and heavy behind. the shape of
'Wedge-looking at the COW side
ways - and 'medium.sized, not
large, teats. There is nothing in
the color of the hair, skin, or
horns, except that the orange or
yellow skin may denote a deeper
shade in the color of milk and
butter, but nothing in the quality
Of either. Select COW OF good
the lack OF this virtue
will try the ~ner's Christian for
titude. The most certain and
satisfactory way to get together
a good herd is TO breed, and in
doing so it must not be forgotten
that the principle, like begets
like, or the likeness of some an
cestor," has now become estab-
lishcd as the foundation of scien-
tific breeding. By an intelligent
adherence to this principal we
are enabled to increase produc-
ton, improve quality, add guam
tIty to quality and secure larger
returns tor the food consumed,
and add symmetry and beauty to
The unerring truth of
this principal may be illustrated
in its application to the breeding
of the dairy herd, as, forexample
taking COW of superior excell-
ence, producing say 5000 pounds
of milk in year and whose quail
tiles it is desired to perpetuate,
The breeder who uses a sire
whose ancestors would average
only 5000 pounds in a year would
have no right to expectfrom their
descendants more than of the an
cesters on both sides, viz, 1000
pounds. BY thisone wrong cross

WHITING SANG A SOLO.
Entertained Board of Public Works
 With "Ben Bolt"

While the members of the board of public works were climbing up Hill street yesterday afternoon, CommiS- sioner Whiting sat down on q stole wall to catch his breath, and after a brief rest he felt somewhat refreshed and started on again, humming a few lines of that old time favorite song, Ben Bolt,'' which ran something like this:
 .Oh, don't you remember sweet Alice,
 Ben Bolt,
 Sweet Alice with hair hazel brown: She wept with delight when you gave
 her smile,
 And trembled with fear at your
 frown.''
 "That song reminds me of a day" said Commissioner Mahaney, when t wouldn't bother me much to climb this hill. Rob Reilly of New Haven was the first man I heard sing that song, and 1 often think of the night he sang it for a crowd ill Cleveland, and reached out his hand to me when lie came to the part of it that says and there remains now but you and me- We were young fellows that time and didn't care what we went up against Reilly was the best collar and elbow wrestler i'll the state, but I was match for him body holds. On the way home we got talking about one thing and another and finally we went out in q lot and had collar and elbow tussle. Of course he could throw me that way, and after giving me q cou- pie of falls we went at it catch-as- catch-can, and kept at until the next thing we knew, old friends as we were then and are still, we were plugging each other for fair. We got tired of 1t before doing each other any harm and then walked off home just the same as if nothing unusual had hap pened. l wish I had the use of my limbs now as l had that night and I wouldn't ask better sport than running Blakeslee a race to the top of that hill. This rheumatism has broken me LID, but feel better now than I have in several years.''
 This little story helped all hands up the steep hill and when HotchlSiss street was reached Mir Whiting told his companions how he came to learn the song and also gave q little sketch of it's gifted author, the late Thomas Dunn English, who passed over to the other side few weeks ago. The lines quoted may not be quite correct. but they are not far out of the way.
 Tn his younger days Commissioner Mahaney was an athlete and is said to nave been match for the best of them With the gloves. But this was years ago, still he has very vivid recollec- tion of those times and can tell inter- estlng "reminiscences of the sporting fraternity of the time when he never thought he would know of such thing as rheumatism.

STRENGTH OF LABOR UNIONS.
Party With Whom It Affiliates Will
 Be Successful


 Since the election of I. A. Sullivan as mayor of Hartford considerable in- terest has been manifested ill this city concerning the labor movement. "How strong are the union organiza1 tions in this city?'' twill the local un- ions enter politics? and other ques- tions are heard on every side. Every body appears interested in the mat tef.
 It Is an undeniable fact that the un- ion organizations in this city are strong. They possess great strength. Waterbury is center of unionism and the labor unions are increasing stead fly. as has been shown by the organ ization of so many unions during the past year.
 At the present time there are eight cen unions affiliated with the Central union and there are ten or twelve or ganizations not yet affiliated with this body. The unions affiliated with the Central Labor union are as follows: Buffers and Polishers, Bakers, Brew CTS, Cigarmakers, Clerks, Painters, Carpenters. Barbers, Brassworkers,
  CTS, Theatrical Employees, Amalgamat- ed Engineers, Iron Moulders and Sheet Metal Workers. Several other unions are already planning to join the Central Labor union and the Musi- clans union, which is. 80 strong, will become affiliated at once. The strength of the present organizations affiliated with the Central Labor union is ap- proximated at 2,200 members and when several other unions are admit ted the number will be increased to 5000. By far the large majority of the labor men are voters.
 It cain be readily seen, therefore that the labor vote will be an import ant factor in an election in this city. It will be a powerful element. There is no doubt but that success would crown the party with which the labor organizations become affiliated. Or, If the labor leaders decide to enter purely labor ticket in the field, it could be safely asserted that the ticket would poll a large vote among the members of the organization and their friends.
 It is too early to state what the la- Dor unions will do in the city election next year It is not a fact that the unions will have a ticket in the field, but it is a fact. so the labor leaders aver. that they will be actively en- gagged in the election. NJ. F. Hanlon of Meriden. president of the New Eng land conference and president of the Meriden Central Labor. union, was in this city on Saturday and conferred I to the labor movement It is not known whether branch of the Eco homie league will be organized in this city or that the unions will attain their purpose by following sugges- tions in an article on Home Rule for Cities" which was adoDted at the last annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in Scranton, Pa. It was by following out those sugges- tions that a labor man was elected mayor in San Francisco.
