AN ENGLISH DAIRY SHORTHORN.
Shorthorn blood in their herds, but we
do not hear of pure bred dairy Short
horns.
In England the Shorthorn has dis
tinctively strong place for dairy pur-
poses, and pure bred Shorthorn dairy
COWS are not uncommon. A friend of
Dairy and Creamery. who has just re-
turned from trip to England, tells of
500 Shorthorn cows that he saw in one
herd, the milk being sold in the Lon
don market.
The Kansas Cow.
The Kansas COW is given high praise
in q recent number Of the Kansas
Farmer, which puts her productiveness
before the public in a new way. 1t
says:
1.-THE Kansas COW is good for three
square meals day for the next eight
cen months even if it doesn't rain an
other drop. Forage, roughness, hay and
all kinds Of fodder are plentiful and
will be for some time, and no matter
what becomes Of the wheat and corn
crop the old COW will be giving down
her milk just as though nothing had
happened.
1.-THE thing most needed in Kansas is
a closer organization Of the dairy farm
ers. Every other industry in the state
has a close organization, but the farm
erS are as yet in the infancy Of their
work in that direction.
kansas is averaging 5000 gallons of
milk per minute for every day in the
year, enough to make a river so feet
wide and 2 feet deep. flowing at the
rate Of foot per second. This milk
makes about 50,000000 pounds Of but
ter, worth $12,000000. Within the
next ten years this will be doubled,
perhaps trebled. Kansas Is capable Of
producing 300,000,o00 pounds OF butter
year."

skimmik and buttermilk.
Bad FInvOrs.
Bacteria that come by the use Of de-
caying food for cows. dirt and bad
odors may reach the milk and cream. It
is quite easy to have bad flavors. There
are hundred little causes for bad fla
vor. beginning with a dirty, unventi-
lated barn, soiled clothes on attend
ants. poorly ventilated dairy. unclean-
ly dairy room or utensils, sour dish.
cloths and unaired or badly washed
churn, poor water, etc.

The Sugar Beet Makes New Friends.
One or two disastrous hailstorms
which came in streaks through Weld
county the past summer killed off ev-
cry growing thing except the sugar
beet, which managed to crawl out of
the difficulty and came right along. 1t
has thus made many new friends, who
consider it all right. With the large
amount Of land adapted to sugar beet
culture, the long period Of sunshine
and the length Of the growing season,
there is no reason why Colorado should
not surpass the world in beet sugar
production. To do this the sugar grow
ing area of the state must make GER
tain Of irrigation and the growers
must adopt the most modern methods
of culture. Failures have been made
even in sections where irrigation has
been used simply because the method
was not understood. Irrigated fields
must be level, not in ridges and hill
locks, for where these latter conditions
prevail no beetS' will be raised on the
high places, for water will not run up
hill, and in the low places there will
be too much water, proving disastrous
in either case.-Denver Field and

IRRIGATION IN FLORIDA.
A Great Thing For the Truck and
Small Fruit Growers.

A Great Thing For the Truck and
Small Fruit Growers.
Irrigation occupies position of
growing Importance in the agricultural
economy of Florida, though it is a
comparatively recent innovation, hay
ing been first resorted( to in 1883 by
the orange growers. The results were
apparently so satisfactory that the
number of irrigators has increased
from year to year
Until the disastrous freeze of
1S94-95 irrigation was confined almost
wholly to orange groves, but with the
destruction Of thousands OF orange
trees many Of the irrigation systems
were thrown out of use, and the at
tention of irrigators was turned to the
industry Of truck farming. In this in
dustry the need of irrigation was
quickly felt, as the products Of truck
farms are of large commercial value
and even a partial loss of crops is very
costly. The cultivation of fruits and
vegetables has proved most profitable,
and the development of these branches
of agriculture has been very rapid,
giving a great Impetus to- the use Of
irrigation. At the present time by far
the greater number Of irrigation sys-
TENS In the state are used by truck
farmers and growers Of small fruits.
Although it has a heavy mean an
nual rainfall, Florida is subject to Sc
we're droughts, especially during the
growing period between February and
June. In the sections where irrigation
is reported the soil is naturally non
retentive Of moisture, and, owing to
the great heat, evaporation is excess
i've
The state appears to be underlaid by
arteslan waters at depths varying from
70 to 500 feet below the surface.
Where these waters have been tapped
the supply is found to be ample, many
OF the wells flowing with considerable
pressure and great volume. In most
cases no cost for pumping is entailed
in irrigation, and the expense of main
tanning the plant is very slight. The
usual cost Of one well, including drill
Ing, casing, cement pipes and every
thing required to complete a plant
capable of irrigating ten acres, is
about $5OO.-Forestry and Irrigation.

The soul of music" was not
only kind1ed in Franz Reilho-

He has long been considered
one of the best performers on
the Gigilira, Alpine Violin and
Bow Either. The music produc-
ed from these instruments is
OF the sweetest and most charm
ing nature but the soul of hum
or is just as strong in him as
that OF music. He cleverly
lmpersonates in 1ife-1ike manner

and mustaches he correc tly
portrays Washington, Napoleon

one to the other with a rapid
ity that is astonishing. At the

Major General John Gibbon thus
describes his meeting with General
Fitz-Hugh Lee at the Mclean
house, Appomattox county, Va, in
April, 1865, at the time of the Con-
tederate surrender: Going to the
door, l found General Fitz Lee
seated on his horse and looking. as
l thought, somewhat uneasy. He
had been a cadet under me at West
Polnt, and [ had not seen him for
years. AS | looked at him a vision
OF the past came up before me, and

ing fellow dressed in cadet gray,
whose jolly songs and CAV spirits
were the life of his class. My salu-
tatlon of Hello, Fitz! Get off and
come IN seemed to put him at his
ease at once and brought him to his
feet. He came into the house and
told me his story. Before leaving,
with a grim humor, he took from
his pocket five dollar Confederate
note, and, writing across its face,
For Mrs. Gibbon, with the compli-
ments of Fitz Lee he said, Send
that to your wife and tell her it's

CrttOn Growing III Vest Africa.

Alfred Jones, president of
Liverpool chamber of commerce,
has just Received reports re-
garding the cotton-growing ex-
perlments in west Africa. He
said to a representative of the
Associated Press:
I'VE sent out a hundred tons
of American seed and divide /
it among all the British west
coast colonies. The results
have been most satisfactory.
The crop matured in ninety
days and in quality and guam
tity we're quite equal to those
Of the parent stock. Next sea-
son we shall send Egyptian
seed and we hope for equally
good results.
The only question is wheth-
er we can make the natives
work so as to put big planta-
tons on commercial basis.
The natives wages are 4 cents
a day. But ! am personally
afraid that number of years
will elapse before we can make
the west coast African serious
competitors of the American
Southern states.
IF we could transport the
negro population of the south
ern states to the west coast
there would not be any ques'
ton of making Great Britain
independent of the rest of the
world for raw cotton. But
have had one experience with
American negro colonization an
[ do not believe it is possible
to secure American negroes fol-
the new cotton belt.

Harvesting Turnius.

We like to leave the rutabaga turnips
in the field until the ground has frozen
solidly about them at least once an inch
deep or more, as they seem to grow
faster after the nights get quite cold,
and they acquire a sweeter taste after
being frosted, says American CultIva-
tor. But there is danger always of
having the winter come on suddenly
and locking them in too fast to be cas-.
lily taken out. They should not be han.
died when frozen, and in a treacherous
climate it is better to get them in early.
If intended for winter market, they
keep as well piled not very deep on the
door Of cool cellar If it is not too
damp, or they may be kept In barrels
where 1t is cool. On the cellar floor 1t
is well to cover them with. straw or
any other covering to keep them from
the light. This is a good plan for keep
ing all roots.
