Holding Up q Bank.

Perhaps the first Confederate bank
raided by Union soldiers was one at
charleston, Va. as Milroy was making
his way up the Shenandoah valley.
Cumming was in its infancy then,
but dozen of the fellows found Them
selves ahead of the army and resolved
to strike fof big stake. They made
sudden attack on the town at day
light and then dashed in and made for
the bank They broke in the door with
an ak, obliged the banker to unlock his
safe and something like 100000 was
carried away as they retreated.
A day later they bundled up 500, 900,
strapped it on the back of an old lame
mule and hired farmer to deliver the
wealth to General Aiilroy in person.
Accompanying the money was note,
which advised the general to bride the
Confederates to keep ahead of him and
do no fighting AS his military maneu-
vers had been checkmated right along
and his reputation was under cloud,
it was hard shot at him. The story
got to Washington and was commented
on by President Lincoln, and it has
been asserted that the presidents lev
ity caused the general to tender his
resignation.

The usual plan of watering cows, and
horses, too, for that matter, is to give
them one lot of water either morning
or evening. The animals are usually
driven to trough, sometimes the ice
has to be broken to enable them to get
the water. and they are allowed to
drink all the water they can, which is
not much In many of the large dairy
barns buckets are now fastened at
each stall, so the cows may have ac-
cess to the water as they will This is
not always possible on the small farm.
but 1t surely is possible to give the
cows water twice or three times day
and also to have that water Of a tenn
perature that does not chill the animal.
Perhaps it is a great nuisance to warm
water for a number of animals, but if
it increases the flow of milk, and it UNI
doubtedly does, is there any better or
cheaper way of increasing the income
from this source? One prominent dali
ryman makes it a business to give each
Of his cows pail half full of water
from which the chill has been taken
before they are given their breakfast.
He claims that this acts on the stom-
ach of the COW just as cupful of
warm or hot water before breakfast
acts on the human stomach 1T tones il
up and prepares it for the solid food to
follow. Who can say he is wrong 9-In

Representative williams. Of Mississippi
the Democratic leader in Congress, speak
ing Of the Democratic outlook for next
year, says: l believe the outlook better
than it has been for many years and for the
reason that factional and other difference
have been removed, aud the party is united
and harmonious to q degree that
has not been known in twelve years.
Speaking Of the prospects for the
Democrats, Mr.. Williams declined
to speak of individuals in connection with
the Democratic nomination for President,
but declared that III his Judgment any
good, square, clean Democrat can defeat
Roosefelt next year, to whom the Republic
cans are chained and from whom they can
not escape. ,
Referring TO Senator Hanna, Mr.. VIII
liams said The greatest Of the Repub-
llcan leaders could have obtained the
nomination had he not pledged himself to
Roosevelt
Continuing, Mr.. Williams said: Mr..
Roosevelt will be easily the nominee Of
the Republicans. They have gone too
far to retreat and cannot now prevent
his nomination, although the conserva-
tive members of the party regret that such
is the fact. Conservative business interests
distrust Roosevelt. His strenuosity is so
near recklessness that it would require an
especially paid attorney to mark the differ
ence. The conservative element in neither
the Democratic or Republican parties want
to see him nominated, because, ii elected,
it would be infinitely worse for the country
Roosevelt's election would mean threat
to the peace Of nations, especially to the
peace of the South He is the easiest man
to beat, much easier than Hanna, but in
case he were elected the result would be
disastrous to the country. Hanna has now
committed himself to the President, and,
therefore, he (Hapna), who would be a
strong candidate, is eliminated from thu
race

WHY MILK vARlE S.



DiMerence In Tests
1 Professor A Conover Of the KAN
sas station writes of milk tests as fol-
/ lows;
4 Sat nearly every institute attended
| by Professor CottreIl and myself the
! question was asked, What is the rea-
son olii milk tests 2.6 per cent one
month and next. under exactly the
same conditions, 1t tests 4 per cent or
/ moreY There are a great many things
| that affect the test, so that we cannot
point to any one thing as doing it. In
! the first place. the conditions are never
exactly the same; the pasture may be
| better one month than another, the
weather may be cooler or warmer, per-
haps you encourage the COW less with
the milk stool or perhaps the boy who
brings them in does not get them SO
much excited. All these things and
many more influence the per cent Of
butter fat.
! Kindness is sure to be rewarded by
an increase in both the per cent Of but
ter fat and also in the milk yield
Whenever you abuse the COW, either by
a sharp word, the milk stool or by run
ming her, you are taking money out Of
your pocket by decreasing the per cent
of butter fat and also the yield of milk.
Whenever the cow suffers for lack Of
food, water or lack Of proper care,
there is a decrease in the amount re-
ceived from her.
There are other reasons why your
test may be lower one month than an
other. When the milk is warm, It
churns very easily, so that when you
send your milk to the station in cans
only half full they will be partially
churned when they get there. There is
no way Of getting fair sample of
such milk, for the butter fat that is
churned is lost both to the patron and
to the creamery. If you have can
and half to send. fill one can full, SO
that you will be sure to have that
much that win not be churned. Keep
the milk as cool as possible, as it does
not churn so readily at low tempera-
ture.
If you do not want low tests do NOT
take the first milk yourself and let the
calf have the last The first milk often
tests as Tow as one-half of per cent,
while the last viii test from 10 to Il
per cent Don't skim all your milk
before you send it to the station and
then expect it to test per cent.
To the creamery man ! would say
keep all the samples Of milk from
churning if possible. Good tests can
never be obtained from churned sam
pie without the use of ether and thus
is too laborious a process for you. It
is claimed by some that simply heat
ing the milk to a temperature that
will melt butter fat win answer, but
my work in this line convinces me that
satisfactory results can never be OBJ.
