BOVINE GOT ALL SHE WAS

II all bovines could be consigned to
the consequences Of their ignorance,
the city would soon be rid of the town
cow nuisance and no stock law would
be necessary :
Mr.. Henry Hike, the well known
German cab carpenter employed in the
local l. o. shops, has very fine COW
which recently got out of her pasture
on the Mayfeld road and wandered
about promiscuously untilfhe espied an
open gate. The COW went into the
yard and leisurely began to investi.
gate the shrubbery and young grass.
She could not get satisfaction at first
and finally walking upon . kettle
standing over the remains of fire.
began to sniff about investigating the
contents. The kettle was filed with
I've, ashes and other ingredients used
in making old fashioned soft soap.
and the ignorant bovine sucked it all
in and completely emptied the kettle.
After this was accomplished she went
home and laid down to die. =
Mr.. Hike learned what the COW
had done and by hard work managed
to bring her around. He will look
carefully hereafter to his fences and
will take DO chances with his stock.

BUTTER THAT SELLS CHEAP
In NINE Cases Out of Ten 1t Is Made
from Cream That Has Stood
Too Long.

Men that use hand separaters sh ouid
see 10 1t that the cream is taken to the
creameries before it gets too old to he
made into good butter, if they are in
the habit of taking it to the creameries
at all. Some that have been negligent
IN this matter have been in the habit of
waiting two or three days over time and
tnen hauling or sending their cream to
the place where 1t is to be made I'D into
butter. The creamery manager should
never take this old cream, but MANY
GO 1t because they say they can sell all
their butter at top price anyway. Tha
result is that this butter goes onto the
general market and large quantities of
sucn product are bought up by the cold
storage men and put away to be used
months after the time when it came into
their hands. During this time the bad
qualities of the old cream come to the
surface, and when the butter is taken
out of cold storage. it grades far below
what 1t graded when it went in. Then
the commission handlers of this prod
uct say that the deterioration is due to
the fact that the butter was made from
cream SKINNED by hand separator. A
great and useful invention Is thus
blamed for something that would have
happened just the same If tn e farmer had
raised his cream by the gravity process.
Only In that case the cream would have
been made up into butter at home rather
than been sent to the creamery and got
into the hands of the wholesale handlers
or butter. This matter Of old cream Is
one of the chief causes of the farmers
wife getting only two-thirds price for
the butter she makes.-Farmers' Re-

FOOD AND SIZE OF COWS.
Some Valuable Thoughts on an I'M
portant Subject Furnished by >
British Dairyman.

Good and persistent milking produces
mixers and the development of milking
qualities, whereas on the contrary IL
irregularity and neglect is practiced the
talents which would develop with use
will naturally disappear, even what
there is. 1t is a great mistake to sup
pose that dairy cows all belong to one
breed, says Robert Pethridge. They
vary from the Small Kerry Of ireland,
the Jersey and Guernsey of the Channel
Islands. the hardy Ayrshire Of Scotland,
the dual-purpose Shorthorn and Devon
OF the west of England, to the Red Polled
Norfolk Of the east of England and 9TH
ers, all of which with selection and de-
velopment produce magnificent dairy
cows. 1t is the character of the food
more than anything else that determines
the size. AS we know, in those districts
which do not produce rich and abundant
grasses you will not find large COWS. and
In those districts which do produce the
necessary constituents for growth and
milk producing, in few years a small
bred animal will become the parent of a
large type and with continuous milking
will furnish many good mixers. Select
and test your COWS and use a bull from
family which has milk record, and re-
member that your bull is half your herd.

desperate contests at the great ma
uonal game have been played in Johns
cabin, on the bank of the river. His
place became famous in the early days,
as an abiding place during the hot
months of summer for many lumber
men from Minneapolis, Duluth and
other places who desired to have an
outing. Their principal occupation
while in the vicinity of Johns home
was poker playing. In a spirit of kind
ness they taught him to play, when
they first came, and he used to sit in
the games with them. II his guests
won, they would give the money back
to John, believing that he was unac-
quainted with the game and to keep
the money would be nothing short of
robbery. 1t invariably happened that
John was always the winner when the
guests got ready to depart.
1t was some years before the truth
Of Johns knowledge Of the cards be-
came known. 1t appears that he knew
all about poker, and had some or.gi-
nal tricks that were sure winners. He
possessed an old deerskin tobacco
pouch and when playing would always
sit with the pouch between his knees.
When the time came to fill hands.
John would evince an unsuitable de-
sire to smoke and would dive into the
sack and replenish his pipe. Invaria-
bly,, after filling his pipe he would lay
down the winning hand and take the
pot. This went on for many years.
until finally John could not stand the
humorous side Of his little game, and
he told the boys one day how he did
1t Inside the tobacco pouch was a
whole deck OF cards and when he
wanted good hand he would fill his
pipe and incidentally his hand.

MILKING WITH WET HANDS.
IT Is Practice Sanctioned by Long
Usage, But 1t Should Be
Discontinued.

In milking, the hands do not need
TO be wet The habit of wetting them
should be abandoned, as il is prac-
ucally impossible to keep the hands
moist without using the foam on the
milk as source of moisture. The
mixer may imagine that by merely
touching his fingers TO the top of the
foam no injury comes to the milk. but
the habit had better be abandoned in
the interest of cleanliness. We think
however that some of our writer's
oVerdraw the matter when they talk
OF mixers dipping their fingers into
The milk. The inference is that the
fingers of the mixers reach the solid
milk The writer has never seen a
case OF this kind. According 10 the
writers referred to, the mixers dip
thelr Fingers into the milk and convey
10 the teats of the COW so much of the
milk that the latter drips from me
teats into the pail and oozes out from
between the fingers in milking. Who
ever saw case OF this kind? But
even at its best, the habit OF moisten-
Ing the teats with milk is not one that
should be perpetuated. If the hands
were TO be moistened at all. pure
water would have to be kept near for
mat purpose. This is impracticable.
therefore let us put aside the practice
OF moistening the teats at all and milk
win dry hands.-Farmers' Review.
