Dairy and Creamery Notes.


Watch each COW to see that she eats
her food up clean.
If butter is worked too much it will
have an oily and greasy look.
To keep butter from sticking to the
churn scald the churn thoroughly
Make the most of the dairy wastes
by feeding to young growing stock.
Breed the heifers reasonably early
and cultivate in them the habit of
early maturity.
A cow in order to be a prolific yield
er of milk must be a hearty eater with
good digestive powers.
poor man cannot afford to keep a
poor COW, and yet that is the kind they
usually keep.
Milk raises cream more rapidly
when cooled rapidly, but it should not
be allowed to freeze.
Streaked butter is caused by uneven
sailing and uneven working. Care and
more work will remedy this.
Dairying like other business is more
successful when grown into gradually
as experience is gained.
A good herd of milk COWS is steady
source of income, whether the product
be sent to market in the form of milk,
cream or gilt edged butter

They are good for the dealer and the
customer and should be encouraged.
In order to obtain vigor we must
sustain and build up the muscles and
furnish food to make activity The
largest profit comes from the well bal

The man who takes a broken Ian
tern to the barn to do chores by, may

Farm Butter Making or Creamery.

The question of making butter at
the farm or sending the milk to a
creamery is one that each Individual
will have to decide for himself. The
matter of profit obtained from either
practice will depend entirely on local
conditions A creamery cannot be
successfully operated without a fair
supply of milk and cream and the
price charged for making butter Will
depend a great deal on the amount of
butter made at the factory. One max
ing 600 pounds of butter per day can
be run for nearly the same cost as
one making 300 pounds per day. This
will naturally reduce the price charged
for making, so that factory making
600 pounds daily will be the better one
for farmer to patroniZe in case he
has a choice in the matter. 1t is
not possible, however, to make butter
in a small factory when the expenses
are nearly as great as they are IN
large factory for the same price as
will be charged at the larger factory.
You will have to decide for your
self whether you prefer to devote your
time and equipment to the making OF
butter rather than to the raising OF
crops and caring for the COWS and
thus produce large quantity OF milk
which will be sent to the creamery to
be. manufactured into butter But
farmer generally has to choose between
the two courses, either keep small
herd and make his own butter, or
large herd and let the creamery make
the butter. If you adopt the latter
course you can keep track of the fac
tory and see that it is dealing fairly
with you, by owning and using Bah
cock tester at the farm and testing the
milk or cream you may send to the
factory.

ON May 10th, after most eventful
voyage, having been caught in the ice
in the gulf of ST. Lawrence. The forty
head stood the trip excellently, being
accompanied by a number of attend
ants and having a large supply OF
feed aboard The attendants have Gre
ated much amusement in their onward
march toward California. Their large
clumsy wooden shoes and square cut
hair look odd enough amidst American
surroundings. The cows, however,
don't seem to mind at all but rather
resent American fashions.
Before leaving Quebec the animals
were inspected by w. G. Hunt of Liver
pool. New York, who was commits
stoned by the Holstein-Friesian Asso-
citation of America to examine the cat
tie. The bull, Jetze, who heads this
herd, he pronounced one of the finest
animals he had ever seen. This bull
was famous in Holland and said to be
among the very best animals in that
country. He has never been beaten in
the prize ring and brings with him two
medals, bearing the royal coat of arms.
The females imported are of the high
est class of Holsteins. The herd has
awakened the greatest interest among
dairymen everywhere and it is difficult
to estimate the great value which will
accrue from the infusion of this new
blood into the California stock.

Value of the Test.

The average farmer is not wholly to
blame for lack of the special adapt
ability of his animals to his purpose,
for, so far as the dairy cow is con-
cerned, he has not, until recent years,
had any convenient means by which
he could correctly measure the rela-
tive value of his product, writes Prof.
T. L. Hacker, of Minnesota.
1t should be remembered that scarce
ly decade has passed since the won
derful little and inexpensive machine,
the Babcock milk test, was invented.
Up to that time farmers could only
guess at the value by looking into the
pail, and even now some have not
learned that quality of milk has quite
as much to do with profitableness as
quantity.
1t is not my desire to give the i'm
preston that If quality is lacking the
COW is not profitable, but that, If
judged alone by quantity, we may err.
And now, having the generous gift
of the Babcock test, we are in posi-

ton to breed from an economic stand
point instead of that of the whims,
prejudices and fads heretofore formu-
lated and taught. Many of these have
already come to naught through the
agency of the milk test.
The tuberculine test also has come
to the rescue of the dairy cow, The
many false charges that have been
made against her in regard to her
lack of constitution and liability to
certain diseases are gradually being
silenced Ignorance, prejudice and
malice cannot withstand the white
light of science and careful research,
and it is no wonder that some are be-
ginning to complain that We are get

The Bradner Company, of Seattle,
who purchased the business and plant

perienced buttermaker and creamery

No matter how valuable a bunch of
COWS may be today, it will surely grow
less as time passes on and the herd
that is now so high on the list will
find its place nearer and nearer the
bottom unless the owner promptly re-
tires animals when they pass their
prime and puts younger ones in their
places. There are only two ways of
making the changes required. Cows
must either be bought or else they
must be raised upon the place. Re
Gently a good deal of discussion has
been going on as to the relative value
of COWS obtained in both ways. A
number of dairymen have expressed
the opinion that cows grown upon the
ranch are worth fifteen to twenty-five
dollars more than those which can be
usually found in the market.

one of the Presidents most trusted

The storm broke in 1898, anc
the free silver tidal wave swept
over the country. A singularly

COL. JOSIAH PATTERSON.

Col. Josiah Patterson, who died
Friday, was one of the great men
of the South. Until past the me-
ridian of his life, he kept aloot
from politics, and practiced his
profession with signal success. He
served with honor in the Confed-
crate army, and after the war de-
voted himself single mindedly to
the law, becoming one of the
ablest lawyers in the South. Being
man of strong and vigorous in
tellect and a dignified and impress
sive speaker, his fitness for legis-
lative honors was self evident. To
his credit be it said that he was
never a politician. In his first can
didacy for Congress be was de
feated by young and aggressive
opponent. His entrance into Con
gress was accidental in measure.
Judge Galloway, of Shelby coun-
ty, and Mr.. T. K. Riddick, of Fay
cite, were the avowed candidates
for Congress, and the late Casey
Young was being groomed as a
dark horse. A deadlock ensued,
and the friends of Col. Young
found it impossible to break it,
for he was not acceptable to either
Riddick or Galloway. 1t was evi
dent, however, that neither Of
these gentlemen could get it, and
Col. Patterson, who had never
been a candidate at all, was accept
ed by them as a compromise.
Col. Patterson Immediately took
rank as one of the ablest and most
influential of Democratic Con-
gressmen. He proved himself one
of the best representatives ever
sent from this district; and when
the financial question began to
raise its head over decade ago be
was among the first to take stand
against free silver. In 1892 the
wing of the party to which be be
longed put a temporary quietus
upon free silver. 1t was in that
year that Col. Patterson became
an earnest advocate of the third
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland, and
he was in the confidence of MIR.

MR. HEARsT,s CANDIDACY.

The following from the Com
mercial Appeal is one of the most
suitable suggestions as to the Pres
idential candidate for the Demo
cratic party we have seen since
the gossip of the campaign began.
If Democrats want to fight the
real enemy and lay down their
differences, Mr.. Hearst would be
q good man to combine on. If
the party expects to get together
it is high time to drop all such
nonsense as the bugaboo about re
organization, Organism and Cleye
landism. Let all these take core
of themselves. The party is not
likely to suffer by any of them.
The Commercial Appeal has seldom
had any candidates for the Democrat
ic nomination for any Office, though
at times it has felt called upon to
show the unavailability of particular
candidates. The Democratic party is
now in good fighting trim, and num-
Der Of Democrats have been conspicu-
ously mentioned for the Presidential
nomination. Among them have been
Judge Alton, B. Parker, Judge Gray,
ex-President Cleveland, Senator Cor
man and Congressman William Ran
dolph Hearst.
Some attention has been paid in
these columns to the various candi-
dates, but not much has been said
about the aspirations of Mr.. Hearst.
1t would be idle to deny that the can
didacy OF Mr. Hearst is factor to be
reckoned with Though young man,
he has already demonstrated the Stuff
that Is in him. A millionaire himself,
he has always stood for the cause of
the people. No one has been able to
say that corporate interests, however
powerful, have ever been able to con-
troll the utterances OF his newspapers.
He has fought some of our greatest
combinations, and fought them so re-
lentlessly that he has compelled the
reluctant government Of the United
States to take some cognizance of the
evils that existed. II he were Presi-
dent Of the United States, there can
be no doubt that the trust issue would
be brought to a head, and that those
men who violated the law would be
brought TO justice. 1t would be es-
tablshed once and for all that the
good trust is the trust that does not
violate the law and the bad trust is
the one that does violate the law.
There would be no paltering with the
question. Mr.. Roosevelt could, if he
were disposed, make war on the
trusts that would put crimp in them.
With a resolute and fearless attorney
general, he could at least compel them
10 observe the law. Shodld Mr.. Hearst
ever be elected he will do nothing
more extreme, irrational and anarch-
istic than seeing that the law is en-
forced.
The Hearst candidacy has been gath
sring considerable momentum. 1t has
nnquestionably enlisted in its interest
