Development Of Heifera.

It is not at all unusual for heifers
who have done excellently well the
first season either not to improve with
second calf or sometimes, indeed, to
fall back. On the contrary, some
heifers that do poorly with first calf
will show very decided Improvement
with the second calf. There are no
hard and fast rules for judging the
capacity of heifers to develop into first
class cows. OF course, If a heifer with
first calf does very poorly and shows
a decided temperament or tendency
for converting feed into body fat rath-
er than into milk the chances are
that she will not make a profitable
cow, and, yet, if she comes from a
decided dairy ancestry, it is well not
to come to hasty conclusions, but give
her the benefit of second years trial.

Prices on Broadway and on Nassau
street are notoriously at variance, but
the value sometimes placed on a well
known business name is even more pre-
tentious. Jones has watch that was

be proud Of The other day he decided
to have it restored" and naturally

"Tll have to look it over" the clerk
told Jones when the latter modestly
asked the cost of putting the watch in

Jones did SO, and caught his breath
as the clerk remarked that it would
cost exactly $3.50 for repairs. Then

DUAL PURPOSE COWS.
Not Suited to the Needs of the East
ern Dairy Farmers.

erm Dairy Farmers.
Very little has been done by our agri-
cultural institutions in New York for
the improvement of live stock, says
II. Z. Cook in Rural New Yorker That
there is an opportunity no one will
question. / was recently discussing
the animal husbandry needs with Eean
Bailey of the state college, who is
deeply interested in laying the founda-
ton right He purposes to act and is
desirous of getting into the closest
touch with the breeders of the COM
monwealth to know their sentiments.
The question arises whether or not
our state should become interested in
beef production. There is no more
misleading fallacy connected with the
farm, none which has led more men
astray than the effort to breed an ami
NAL for both milk and beef Occasion
ally such a one is found, and then
begins a chase to reproduce another.
The American is a natural gambler.
1t makes but little difference what
the game may be, provided only that
there is uncertainty in its makeup.
The dual purpose COW, as seen from
western point of view, is a specula-
ton pure and simple, and hope there
will be no such ideal at our state col
lege.
What we do need, however, is a
greater number of 10000 pound 3.5
per cent cows or 1000 pound 5 per
cent cows. There is a place for both.
In the milk markets the bulk of the
trade will only pay for the low grade
milk. We do not need more breeds or
more crosses. 1t is humiliating that
this country has not produced a breed
of dairy cows. We have tried hard
to make a breed of the dual purpose
COW, but as she never reproduced her.
self in anything like the same form
we could not make success. But it
seems to me we would appear to the
Unlocking dairy world to much better
advantage to take the Jerseys and
Guernseys for high grade milk and
the Ayrshires and Holsteins for low
grade milk and improve them.
We have already quite passed the
necessity of importation Of Ayrshire
and Holstein stock, and as soon as we
learn that the Channel island cows
must have Channel island temperature
and environment we shall cease i'm
porting from that favored land. /
firmly believe that our newly organiz-
ed state college should ALLEVIATE itself
from western sentiment and custom
SO far as it pertains to live stock in
terests. / know it is wonderfully
fascinating to breed and handle the
smooth beef beauties, but is not the
machinery that can produce ten to
twenty times its own weight of milk
annually but a more complex and
wonderful mechanism, requiring more
genius to develop and skill to feed?
We have in the east conditions pc
culiar in many respects that cannot
be changed. 1t is therefore a prob
lem to meet them and organize for
development upon our own lines.

Butter of medium firmness loses

A low water content may be obtain

1t is list that any dairyman may con-

vatOr:
We do not consider that we know
everything about buttermaking, as
something new is being discovered
every month. Not only from our own
work are we continually learning, but
also from the observation and research
of others.
We do not keep COW that makes
less than 200 pounds Of butter a year.
We do not put the dry COW on a
starvation ration.
We do not expect a cow to make
something Of nothing.
We do not keep our cows In an Ice
house, hogpen or dungeon.
We do not allow them to 90 whole
year without carding or brushing them.
We do not depend on pasture alone
for supply of summer food.
We do not allow the milk to stand
very long In the stable to absorb foul
Odors.
We do not mix sweet cream with
cream to be churned less than twelve
hours before churning. The cream Ia
ripened in one vessel, which holds the
cream for whole churning.
We do not add scalding water to the
cream nor take two or three hours to
churn.
We do not gather the butter till the
"dasher stands on top" and then dip 1t
out of the buttermilk
We do not add coarse salt by guess
nor work the butter into grease.
We do not neglect to strain the milk
at once after milking.
We do not send our butter to market
wrapped in old rags that may have
seen other service in the house.

Care Of Milk and Cream

Dairy Farming.
Guard Milk Carefully.
In preventing such troubles as bitter
milk proper care of the milk is essen
tial. Milk cans and all other utensils
should be thoroughly washed, and ster-
ilized by heat, the milking should. be
done under the most favorable condi-
tions for lessening contamination, the
milk should be cooled promptly and
guarded as carefully as possible from
all known sources of infection.-De-
partment Of Agriculture.
Cleaning the Separator.
A very simple but effective method
of rapidly cleaning out the skim milk
tubes of the separator bowl, when
separator has to be shut down and
cleaned during the days run, is the use
of jet of warm water from the hot
water hose. The water, where it has
some pressure, will readily clear the
tubes unless the separator has been
run until the clog has become solid. In
the absence of hot water hose a
stream Of water from the pump will do
good work. Creamery Journal.

New York. Oct 27.--(speciaL)- )--J Walter Labaree and Company. of 42 Broadway, have failed with liabili- ties amounting to anywhere from $500 900 to $700.000. Labaree has been missing since a week ago yesterday His family, his manager and all his friends profess ingnorance of his whereabouts. conducted one of the biggest bucket shop businesses in the city. He had branch ofices extendeding from Tor onto to New Orleans, with hundreds of correspondents He had offices at Montgomery. Selma. Mobile, Atlanta. Opelika. New Orleans and several in South Carolina and North Carolina.
 His customers numbered thousands and the full extent of the failure can- not be estimated until complete re- ports are in from all his agencies.
 Labaree started the business three years ago. He had big suite of off, Aces and employed eleven telegraph operators and as many more clerks and stenographers. At that time he was A member of the Consolidated Ex- change. He was expelled from that organization a year ago on a charge of running a bucketshop.
 After the recent bear movement set in the customers began to take profits and Labaree saw that 1t was time to move. He made careful preparations for getting away. The first his man. ager knew of the business was when he arrived at the ofice Thursday of last week and found that Labarec had removed everything that he could car- ry.
 Word of his disappearance was sent to the branch offices and this week the correspondents have been coming to town. They held a meeting at the Hoffman House today.

optimistic hopes refecting the govern u,ent's views Others like the weighty Kruetz Zeitung. regard the situation as extremely grave since the uegotiations must proceed with unprecedented rapidity because otberwise the Russian squadron will get beyond reach.
 Great Rrfsain's demand for the pun ishment of the guilty officers. while recognized as just, greatly complicates the situation for Russia, since yielding means the recall of the squadron for long investigation.
 Although war Is not believed to be imminent. Great Britain's positive course and Rrssia's hesitation create a situation that may give France a deci- ding influence. Should France inform either government that hostilities In this instance would be contingency covered by the Russo French treaty such an interpretation must affect enormously the relative attitude of Rus- sia and Great Britain.
 One danger of the situation Is that Russia may be taking this occasion to test the reality of her alliance with France, whether indeed this alliance now Is more than general good will France has the strongest reasons for avoiding test of the alliance, while Germany naturally would like to see the alliance prove nothing more than paper.
 France is regarded here as having in M. Cambon. her Ambassador to Lon- don. her ablest negotiator. and he is already striving to compose the dh- ferences.
 So ia ras guaranteed that no similar incidents will occur. Russia 1t is believed here,is ready to offer general assurances and says that she can do no more.

Neither Government woald Accept Ex-

 St Petersburg, Oct. 2S.---(3;10 a. m) The mystery of the trawlers affair instead of being cleared up by Vice. Admiral Rojestvensky's report today appeors to be deeper than ever. The Russian Admirars explanation is re- eeived with the greatest satisfaction at the Admiralty and elsewhere. but 1t Is felt that direct issue has now been raised between Russia and Great Bri- tain and that the incident has entered upon a more delicate stage.
 Both countries doubtless will demand the most searching investigation to es- tabIish facts and probably neither na- tion will be willing to accept the result of an ex.parte inquiry by the other, The outcome probably will be a mixed tribunal of some sort. This at least Is the st!G sestion of some of the cooler men here. as 1t Is felt that only thus could a repetition of the Maine inqury be avoided.
 Popular excitement has reached a pitch unequaled since the beginning of the war. Public sympathy and com fidence undoubtedly are with Admiral Rotestvensky, and should Russia choose to stand upon his version without further inquiry there is no question but such a course would be popular with the masses, who would be willing to back the government in the controversy to the utmost extremity.
 It is most unlikely, however. that the government will adopt such a course. It Is much more probable that after the first flush of excitement has faded, a middle way will be found whereby the facts can be established and the national pride of both coun. tries be maintained.
