partment as the sphere Of his future ac-
tons, though he very often made the re-
mark that he ought to have cultivated
the art Of music as his profession.
Still in his teens, the North German
Lloyd company recognized in young Karl
a remarkable talent for governing He
was appointed general agent of the COM
pany with headquarters at Leipsic. Mr..
Voight soon made himself acquainted
with the routine of the enigrant business.
He sent thousands of emigrants to Amer
lea. They settled chiefly in the state Of
Texas. He not only sent these men ac-
companied by their families, but he also
went along with them in order TO protect
them in their rights. For seven years
he was in the employ of the company,
crossing and recrossing the ocean. At
last Mr.. Voigt determined to make the
United States his home. for he was well
pleased with the country's institutions.
He also emigrated with his family, set
Ting in Kansas, where he bought two
valuable farms. He also induced his
brother, August, to make his home in
Kansas. Another brother. Ernest Voigt,
now in Paris. France, removed the ONCE
ness The firm of Z. Voigt & Co. is we'll
known in Europe. Karl Voigt, however,
was not satisfied with The cultivation of
the soil His taste ran in a different chan
mel Being a man of letters, he launched
into the newspaper business, in which he
evinced remarkable skill and experience.
His children advancing 10 mature age,
MI Voigt resolved at once to give them
a good education. He rented cut his
farms and moved to wichita some ten
years ago. as we have already mentioned.
He established an Office for the purpose
of dealing in homeopathic medicines.
From his early youth he had a great
leaning towards that branch Of medical
science.
AS literary man Mr.. Karl Voisht
could compare with the most advanced
scholars of our city. He was we'll versed
in German literature, Goethe being his
favorite author. You could mention to
him any of the English writers, being
assured that he was well acquainted with
them. He spoke French nuently and cor
rectly and was we'll "au fat" as to the
beauties of the French language.
Mr.. Voigt was a great reader. deep
thinker, a fluent and will informed con-
versationalist; in fine, we may call him
an abridged walking encyclopedia.
His family was devoted to him. All his
children, two girls and two boys, dotted
on him. He was loving husband and an
arfectionate father. He left his wife. an
excellent lady (nee Nile. Sicher). in good
circumstances, and often made the re-
mark When the end comes alrs well
He is gone He has entered upon the
spirit land Now he knows all about the
other world-a lifelong study OF his NOR
tai career.
He has passed beyond the reach OF
praise or blame; passed to the realms Of
rest. TO the waveless calm OF perfect
peace. The storm is spent. The winds are
hushed. the waves have died aleng the
shore. the tides are still. the aching heart
has ceased TO beat

though often overlooked, that the dam OF
this sire should have perfectly formed I'd
der-for form of the udder is strongly trans
mittable, and each breed has type OF its
own. The sire should have a lively sense
of his own Importance, and not be willing
to be imposed on by rough handling. He
should fight if cornered, for the gentle bull
rarely imparts grit to the offspring, and
endurance seems to be founded in temper.
Listless, Aabby people are amiable; SO is
listless, inert bull. The very word, bully.
should indicate his character; he should be-
ready to buster and fuss at any infringe
ment of the rights of his harem. 1t is better
for the head of grade herd to be strong,
typical individual than one whose dam IS
a phenomenal, record breaking COW. There
are many fine bulls sacrificed to the idea that
nature will permit sudden great elevations
of quality. Now, quality must be backed by
the physical health of the animal; so, It we
push quality before conformation, or correct
form has been built up strongly, we are apt
to lose health Milk production is heavy
strain and the animal must not only be
physically educated herself to stand it, but
must have inherited the acquired const1tu-
ton from her dams.
Each sire used in breeding the herd should
be more refined in type than his predecessor:
We believe in generation having fresh blood
introduced, and do not believe in ncestuous
inbreeding.

Hold on to the Cow.

Perhaps it is not altogether to be regretted
that when prosperity comes and nature
smiles, man is apt to forget the times OF ad-
versity At the same time it is ungrate1ul,
to say the least, to forget the instrumentality
that pulled him through, and it is foolish to
suppose that adversely will continue for
ever 1t is not many years since the dairy
COW stood between the western farmer and
very hard times indeed. Money was scarce.
Prices of grain, of beef cattle and other
stock were low. Prospects did not seem
very bright to the farmer. In this emer-
gency the dairy stood between many
farmer and hardship. She bought shoes for
the children, dresses for the women folks
and-wel, in some cases, perhaps, tobacco
for the men. She enabled some farmers to
float over the period of depression comfort
ably, and many to swim where without her
they would have sunk.
The hard times have gone. The pig, the
horse, the steer the grain are all bringing
good prices Money is plentiful and cheap.
Bank accounts are carrying comfortable
surplus Under these conditions many
farmer is forgetting the good old COW that
pulled him through. He is allowing the calf
to run with her. He is forgetting and his
children are not learning how to milk. The
usefulness of the COW for the dairy is being
destroyed When the turn of the tide comes

Qualifications of a Dairy Cow.
Bv Mrs. Minnie +. Sherman.

cow and the handling of her product, has
been the outgrowth of the specialized work
OF the dairy school experts. While the
creamery man, with his manner of paying as
little as possible for what the COWS produce,
has made the dairyman take out his pencil
and learn to figure exactly what the COWS do
earn SO he has, by calculating, brought the
keeping of the COWS down to a business
basis.
The first historical mention we have OF the
importation of cattle is that they were
brought by the Europeans to Mexico about
the year 1925. The mild equitable climate
and the abundant grass covered ranges
caused them to multiply rapidly, and they
soon covered not only the plains of Mexico,
but those of Texas and California, with their
offspring.
The first improved cattle came to Virginia
from Holland in 1925, ard were OF beef and
milk form. The oxen were powerful ami
mails, blowing the new lands, while the COWS
furnished a small amount of milk for the
settlers family. The first COWS used solely
for milk were brought from Normandy to
Quebec by the French emigrants. 1t is said
that these yellow, dun and silver gray Nor
mandy animals enter largely into tie founda
ton strains of both the modern Island Jer-
sey and the brown Swiss cattle. They were
of medium size and gave fair quantity OF
milk, while the oxen were large enough tor
blowing in a billy country, like Canada and
New England
However, the dairy COW was, as yet, of lit
tie value in the eyes of the farmer, for as late
as 1926 at a Massachusetts, county fair there
was no class for cows or Tor butter or
cheese; but there was the surprising entry
of 100 yoke of oxen competing IN teats OF
strength and docility. | wonder if there
oil to
county fair as an OK show, just as we croak
TODAY that our fairs are mere race horse
matineees.
The beef strain is very hard to breed
away from; even in the fifth and sixth gen
erations of COWS it often crops out when
COWS are fed for heavy milk production.
Many good grade cow has slipped off into
beef when five six years old, causing
loss-for it does not pay to fatten beef on
dairy rations. When we consider good
COW should produce $50 pounds of butter,
WORTH say IS cents a pound, or $3.50 IN
year, it is indeed, killing the goose that lays
the golden egg to sell her for COW beet at
$50 to $40. You see, we do not believe IN
the general purpose COW, though 1t may
seem presumptious, for she has prominent
advocates but then seeing is believing,
and we have never seen one
Now, in selecting COW for dairy use one
of the principal points is the stomach; it
should be large and somewhat pendant
never set flush with the backbone, but al
ways leaving a ridge. The stomach should
suggest that the digestion is ample, and that
the consumption of food can be pushed heav-
ly, and yet a margin of reserve force re-
main, for the drain from the heavy milk
flow should be urgent, and her appetite con
slant if she is to continue its profitable milk
