The principal cause of the decrease in the
output. however. IS attributable alone to the
heavy spring and summer rams. the truth Oh
whicn is vel ified from the fact that the out
put the past week exceeded the snipneht
some go tons, and it is safe estimate that
from now on the output Will average equaI
to the same period of last year.
GA mines pass out and new mines come IN
every year. but this year the new mines are
held back in the course of development
work by the increased volume of water in
the ground. This ia being overcome, and the
outlook is that during the latter half of 1903
the output will steadily advance until at tne
end of the year IL will nearly or quite equal
that OF last year, in a total years tonnage.

THE NEBRASKA COW.
S'e HAS Helped Many Hitherto struE-
sling Farmers TO Make Modest
Fortunes.

The Nebraska COW has joined the
winter wheat crop as mortgage
litter.
According to the report of the
secretary of the State Dairymen's
association. just published. the pro-
duction of butter in Nebraska last
year was one-third greater than in
the previous year. Two things have
caused this great increase. the hand
separator and the culture of alfalfa.
Both of these are new in the west
The hand separator is a mechani-
cal device that has permanently dis
placed the old and the new fashioned
churn alike and rendered butter

creamery, instead of the farmers

oraska two years ago, and has COM

Calf Raising Made Easy.

The rapid introduction of the
hand separator is the feature OF the
times in the dairy industry. 1t is
largely solving the question of get
ting good skim milk for calf raising,
as well as having other important
advantages. Warm, sweet skim-milk,
separated within a few minutes after
being drawn from the COW is in the
best possible condition for the calf,
and by observing the points men
toned in this bulletin, and as prac
ticed by the most successful dairy
men. little trouble will be had in
raising as good calves as are raised
i'm any way. The ma ioritv Of those
producing cream or butter for sale
insist on some means of raising the
calf satisfactorily. and the hand sep
arator seems to fill the want better
than any other system.-Midland

The monument TO mark this sacred
spot, says Leslie's Weekly. has been

is within eight miles of the Oak Wood

On the face Of the lower die will be a

Musty Fodder Kills calves.

A dispatch comes from Creston
Ia, that Hazard Dunn, living a short
ways west Of there, has recently lost
10 head of yearling calves from toe
much feeding on dry and musty fod
der. All the calves but one that were
taken sick died and reports come
from other parts Of that country
that there have been many more cat
tie dying there from the samt
cause. The wet weather has been
such that much Of the fodder this
season is unfit for feeding except in
small quantities. and then the closest
watch must be kept on the cattle
fed. II now appears that the enor.
NOUS loss OF cattle reported from
the east end of that county some
weeks ago is attributed to this SAINT
cause.

nome ana carry oniy the cream IA
their cans. This leaves the skim TO
be utilized az home. II is a poor
COW that doesn't pay in cream alone
each year for her original cost.
Modest fortunes are being made in
the older settled parts of the state
by the maintenance of large herds
OF dairy cows, whose milk is sold at
the skimming stations. A herd of so
COWS, with the natural increase in
calves and the sale Of milk and
cream. makes il possible for farmer
to obtain yearly income from this
source alone as large as that OF
most country professional men.

Ivory for Piano Keys.

The consumption Of ivory for the
keys Of American-made pianos is grow
ing rapidly. Purchases on American
account have been on an unusually
large scale. and so eager have buyers
been TO secure desirable parcels that
prices have been run up in startling
fashion. Almostthe whole Of the ivory
bought on American accounts is used
for piano-forte keys. and as the waste
material is not required by Yankee
manufacturers it is reshipped to Eu-
rope and utilized by Sheffield and
Solingen cutters as scales for pen
knives.
