In buttermaking on the farm a wise
use Of even the most inexpensive dairy
implements will insure better results
than can be obtained by careless work
with the latest inventions, says an
Ohio dairyman In American Agricul-
turist. The first principle to be incul-
Gated is perfect cleanliness. We must
have clean cows, clean mixers and
clean stables. Very many of our farm
ers' wives are hindered by conditions
that make successful d~airying impossi-
BILE. With some the milk room or cellar
has not as good ventilation or drainage
as 1t should have; consequently the inn
purities are communicated to the milk
and cream, which are quick to absorb
gases.
The room should be for milk only
and not a place in which a miscella-
assortment from soap fat TO on.
ions is kept. 1t should be clean, cool
and airy in summer and warm enough
in winter to insure the rising of the
a in the shortest time. If the milk
is set in crooks they should be glazed.
as impurities are apt TO collect. If cans
are used it is well to go over the seams
occasionally with q clean cloth and
some sharp implement, as a table fork,
for seams have a tendency to retain
any stray substance. Milk utensils
should not be put to other uses. After
being cleansed they should be rinsed
In a solution of lime and water and
afterward exposed to the sun and air.
Do not wait for the milk to become
curdled before skimming, and upon
making an addition to the cream al
ready collected stir well, 50 that all
may ripen evenly. If the amount of
cream necessary for a churning can
be collected at about the same time
the butter will be of better flavor or
quality, for If cream stands too long
the flavor OF the butter will be injured
Cut the butter with the blade. Do
not mash and smear it, thus breaking
the globules. Wash In cold water and
salt at the rate Of one and a half
ounces to the pound. The result should
be sweet and wholesome butter.

one side entirely removed. II may be
as narrow as one pleases. but the width
and length should be proportional to
the size of the occupant. We do not
consider three and one-half feet any
too much room for the COW Of average
size. The construction of this stall is
such that when standing the rack in
front forces the COW back a few inches,
so that all droppings fall well to the
rea The bar across the stall at the
rear should be fastened to the floor
Just in front of the cows hind feet
when standing with her head TO the
rack. This bar serves the double pur-
pose of retaining the bedding In place
and of encouraging the COW to move
forward when about TO lie down, bring
ing her head under the projecting rae
The bottom of this rack should be
from thirty-five to forty inches above
the floor. A shallow manger may ex-
tend across the full width Of the stall
In place of the slanting box.
The COW $ fastened with a halter
about the head, and instead Of remov-
ing the headpiece every time the COW
is to be loosened attach a stout safety
snap to the end of the rope and snap
this into the ring under the throat, let
ting the COW veal the headpiece all
the time.
Aim Of the HoIstein Breeders.
The aim Of the Holstein- Friesian
breeders Is to produce milk dit for all
~purposes-fo home. village or city con-
sumption, for cheese factory or butter
factory, for the production of cream
for the creamery, for ice cream or for
village and city use. and the Babcock
test and centrifugal separator enable
him to do all this.-M. II. Gardner in
Pacific Homestead.
Testing Mink.
Three vital points in testing milk-a
true sample OF the cream, an exact
quantity of the sample in the test bot
tie and reading the test accurately.
Avoid stable Contamination.
Stables with too many cowy odors
In them are not bit TO keep milk in, and
separating should be done in another
place.

and method up to date and secure the
best market available for you output
I believe you will solve the problem of
profitable dairying. III. A. BERGMAN
Before Kansas Board OF Agriculture.
Home Grown Ration.
In a test at the New Jersey station
a home grown ration made up OF thir-
ty-six pounds Of cowpea silage and ten
pounds of crimson clover hay, with six
pounds Of corn and cob meal, costing
1857 cents per COW per day. produced
as much milk and butter as a ration in
which two-thirds OF the protein was
supplied by dried brewers grains and
c~ottonseed meal, costing 17.15 cents.
Profitable Feeding.
Profitable feeding consists in appor-
tioning the feed with specific refer
ence to the disposition each COW is
able to make of it. This implies, of
course. that each cows milk should be
weighed at every milking and an nc
curate record kept.-Hoard's Dairyman.
The Advantage of Salt.
Cattle should be regularly supplied
with a certain amount Of salt. says
American Cultivator. The addition of
q pinch of salt Is found TO exercise q
beneficial influence not only upon the
digestion of the food, but upon the gen
eral health OF the animals. This is
specially so in the case of dairy COWS
whose milk yield is found TO be very
appreciably influenced by the presence
or absence Of salt in the food given
them.
In some experiments carried out a
few years & in Europe it was found
that the addition or withholding of salt
from the food given to dairy COWS
meant a very considerable variation in
the quantity Of milk produced by them.
In the case OF such animals it Is
thought that the salt not only exer-
cises a beneficial effect upon the diges-
ton of the food, but also acts as some
sort of a stimulant to the milk secret
ing organs and thus tends to encourage
a freer and fuller flow.

Mr.. Banes was asked about the rumor.
which has been current during the past

this city. Mr.. Banes declared that
there was no truth in the rumor what
ever.
Il can not imagine said Mr.. Banes.
how the story got started. We are
retrenching, to be sure, and will no
doubt do away with many OF our
smaller stations. Marshalltown is too
good a point for us, however, and con-
ditions will have to change very mate
rally Ii we should give up our station
here. We are contemplating change
in our refrigeration here, as 1t Is neces-
sary for us to have some other method
OF refrigeration besides natural ice. /
think we will be able to solve the prob
lem, as we are now working on It."

Supreme Court Hands Down
Decisions In Two Actions
From This County
SENT BACK FOR RETR'AL
Court Reverses Case Of LAMA VS.. le-
Grand Quarry Company, Appealed by
the Plaintiff, Also That of c. M. Vohs
W. A. {. shorthilI Company, on De-
fsndant's Appeal.

As announced in the T.-R. Thursday
evening, the supreme court OF Iowa
handed down two decisions in actions
from this county Thursday afternoon.
reversing both the LAMA and Nohs
eases. The action of the court is inn
portant, as each case had been hard
fought In the lower court. The LAMA
case has been tried In this county three
times. and the vohs case twice. The
LAMA appeal was by the plaintiff and
the Vohs case by the defendant. Each
may again be retired in the lower
court.
The LAMA case is, of course. the
most important. The action was
brought originally on Aug. 20, 1899, and
first tried at the october term. On
Nov. %, 1893. jury in Judge Burn
hams court returned verdict for the
plaintiff in the sum OF $4,000. The
court set this verdict aside and the
ease was again retired. Another jury
returned verdict. in exactly the same
amount, and the court refused to set II
aside, preferring to allow the supreme
court to take a hand in deciding cer-
tain questions The case was appealed
by the LeGrand Quarry Company, de-
PENDANT in the action, and the case was
reversed by the supreme court On the
third trial the court directed verdict
against the plaintiff, from which the
plaintiff appealed, on the error of the
court In directing verdict, and the
other usual errors in refusing to admit.
and admissions OF, certain testimony.
The supreme court now reyerses the
action on the appeal of the opposite
party to which it reversed the case
originally, and sends the case back to
the lower court for another trial. DUR
ing the time the plaintiffs appeal was
pending the subsequent developments
OF an alleged alteration of the records
In this case by the plaintiffs attorney
came up, resulting in Judge Durham
ordering the record restored. Barta
LAMA. the plaintiff in the case, was an
employee OF the LeGrand Quarry Com
pany, and lost both eyes as the result
OF an explosion of dynamite The
opinion in the case is written by Judge
Deemer
The Nohs Case.
The reversal OF the Vohs case WAS on
the appeal OF the defendant. the A. p.
Shorthill Company. G. NJ. Vohs. an
ernploye, lost an eye by being struck
With a small piece of steel. He drought
suit originally on Dec. "a 1902. and the
case was tried at the January. 1903,
term. The defendant moved TO direct
q verdict, but the court oyerruled the
motion. The jury, however. was un-
able to agree to verdict, and was dis
charged.
In the March term. OF the same year,
The case was again tried. and jury
returned verdict awarding the sum OF
1912. The opinion in the Vohs case
was BY Nudge McClain.
II is not known as yet whether the.
cases will be brought up for trial again
or not.
