Mary's Little Lamb and Meat.Trust

EAT TRUST &c % IS % &c &c e
Mary had a little lamb.
With mint sauce on he side;
When Mary saw the Meat Trusts bill
1t shocked her so she cried.
Mary had a little veal
A outlet, nicely broiled;
Her papa, TO pay for that veal,
All morning sorely toiled.
Mary had a little steak
A porter-house, quite small;
And when the bill came in. she sighed
No dress for me next fall
Mary had 4 little roast
AS juicy as could be
And Mary's papa simply went
Right into bankruptcy.
Mary isn't eating meat;
She has a better plan:
She vows it's ladylike to be

a Philips Brooks Story.

This amusing story was told of the
little niece of Phillips Brooks, the ia
nous divine, relates the Philadelphia
Times:
One evening as her mother was tucking
her snugly in bed, the maid stepped in
and said there was a caller waiting in
the parlOr. Her mother told the little
enc TO say her prayer. and said she
would be back in a few moments.
The caller stayed only a short time,
and when the mother went upstairs
again she asked the little girl if she
had said her prayer.
Yes, mamma, l did and | didn't" she
said.
What do YOU mean by that, dear?"

proper recognition of Governor Aycock's
appointment to nominate C. C. Daniels

enough to make him attractive. and
brains enough to give motive power to
a we'll balanced legal talent. He has
shown himself we'll worthy of the place he
has so faithfully filled, besides, it is a bad
policy to change a good man as soon as
he has had a little experience in a place.

An Editor Turned: Out Of Churched
(Statesville Landmark.)

The Landmark learns that an editor in
a town in this State was recently turned
out of the church for publishing a Sun
day newspaper. The editor in question
published a daily morning paper and. as
IS the case with all morning papers his
paper is issued on Sunday morning. The
editor was a member of the Presbyterian
church and he has been excluded from
church membership for violating the
SABBATH. This may be all right. but if
every church member who reads news
papers on misunderstanding nanerS
printed on Sunday-was excluded from
church membership there would he .
great falling of in church membership

that the lands of Washington

ted that during the sale Monday
the little group of planters and
investors gathered there to buy
up the estate represented at least
a million dollars. The total
amount of improved and unim-
proved lands in the various tracts
was estimated at 1900 acres and
brought $5O,52O, averaging for
timber and improved lands about
S23 per acre, The price the es-
tate brought was higher than
most any one expected. There
were but two outside bidders

The cob industry is getting to
be a great industry. In Indiana
there is a large factory that EN-.
ploys millions of bushels of cobs
and they are not manufactured
into pipes either. A substance
known as corona" is made from
the cobs which is a fine article
that is supposed to enter largely
into "shreded biscuit" and other
similaa articles of food. The
work is carried on in secrecy and
just what becomes output or to
whom it is sold, no one knows.
Verify we r coming back to the
old saying, ''cob and ALL" l
wonder how cob pancakes would
go with glucose molasses or cob
shredded biscuit with glucose
sugar and an article called milk
by city residents which is far
from being the same article that
is looked upon as such by farm

Investigations of Methods of
Milking,

MILKING.
Prof. F. w, Woll of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, reports in
Bulletin No. 81 the result of a
thorough Investigation of meth
DDS of milking. The following
is a summary of the investiga-
ton reported in this bulletin:
l. The milking experiments
conducted by the writer were
made partly with cows in our
university herd, partly with
cows in twelve different Wiscon-
sin dairy herds. The aim in all
cases was to ascertain the gain
10 the production of milk and
butter fat obtained by a system
of manipulation of the udder af-
ter the regular milking was fin
l~shed(Hegelund method); where
the regular mixer did not milk
clean, the gain obtained by clean
milking together with manipula.
ton OF the udder was ascertain
ed. The plan of the experiment
was therefore such as to show
the character of the work done
by the different mixers.
2. In our university herd the
average daily production of milk
from ~ cows was increased by
as percent by means of the ma
nipulation method and the pro-
duction of fat was increased by
90 per cent Grange 3.O-3O.2 per.
cent for individual cows), as the
result of a milking experiment
continued for four weeks; the av-
erage gain in milk being / pound
and in fat .O9 pound per head per
day.
3. A similar average increase
in production was obtained for
the twelve dairy herds tested,
viz, a gain of l.O8 pounds in the
dairy production of milk per cow
and Il pound of fat. The result
obtained in this investigation, ex-
tending over a period OF four
months, with cows in all stages
OF lactation, Indicate that this
gain is maintained through the
whole period of lactation. Ar
increase in the daily production
of butter fat per COW, of one-tenth
of a pound, for the million cows
in the State would mean an an
nual gain of 100000 pounds of
butter fat if the cows give milk
300 days in the year; the value of
this increase to the dairy INDUS
try Of the State would be about
Sc, OOe, 900, on basis of a valuation
of 20 cents a pound for butter
fat, a figure considerably below
Elgin prices.
4. The largest amount of milk
from a COW by the
manipulation method, after the
regular milking was done, was
SIS pounds per day and the low
"st 20 pound. The former fig
ures for fat production was "a
and .O2 pound. The former fig
ure is considerably above the
average total daily production of
in this or other States.
S. The greater portions of
the gains obtained came through
of care on part of the regu
lar mixer as the cows were not
MIXED perfectly clean. But even
in herds where the mixers did
their work we'll, there was al
ways one or more cows which
gave an increase of nearly a
pound of milk and one tenth of a
pound of Outer fat pv the ma
nipulation method.
6. Milksobtained by the manip-
ulation method is similar in com
position to that of ''strlppings";
on the average for all herds it
contained 10. 32 per cent. fat and
was found to be about two and
times richer than the
ordinary milk. The highest e
cent. of fat found in the after
