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


Very little has been done by our agri-
cultural institutions in New York for
the Improvement of live stock, says
III. T.. Cook in Rural New Yorker. That
there is an opportunity no one will
question. / was recently discussing
the animal husbandry needs with Dean
Bailey of the state college. who is
deeply interested in laying the founda-
ton right. He purposes to act and is
DESTROYS 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 q 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 specula-
ton pure and simple, and l 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 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 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
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 organic
ed state college should ALLEVIATE itself
from western sentiment and custom
so far as it pertains to live stock in
terests. I 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 it's 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
Guitar in many respects that cannot
be changed 1t is therefore prob
lem to meet them and organize for
development upon our own lines.

PRINCESS RHEA.

in North Easton, Mass, says American
Cultivator. This cow was imported in
the fall of 1902, after a hard summer
in England going to all the shows,
winning many prizes. She was bred
on the island of Guernsey and dropped
Dec. 26, 1893. Her sire was Alexander
the Great r. G. A. S. 706 P. S., and her
dam Reah V. r. G. A. S. 1906 P. S.
Princess Rhea calved April 5, 1908,
and commenced her record April 9.
During the year that followed, ending
April s. 1904, she made the following
record, which is the highest of any COW
in the Advanced Register: 14OO9.S9
pounds milk, testing 5.65 average per
cent fat and containing 1859 pounds
butter fat
Age and Productivity of Cows
Dairymen usually find that the milk
yield increases up to about seven
years of age, after which it remains
nearly constant until about the twelfth
year, when it begins to decrease more
rapidly. The average dairy COW is at
her best between the ages of seven and
ten years. There is usually a slow and
gradual decline after the seventh year
Of life until the twelfth year, after
which the cow may be less profitable
than heifers. After their period Of
profitable milk production is passed
dairy COWS should be kept dry and
fattened for beef.-Orange Judd Com

The United States department of ag-
riculture in a recent circular on the
cure of milk fever gives complete de-
scription OF the remarkable results Oh
tanned in the treatment of this hereto
fore extremely fatal malady by the in
lection of filtered air into the udder.
says American Cultivator.
Milk fever affects well nourished,
heavy milking cows in all the large
dairy districts of this country and is
characterized by the complete paralysis
Of the animal shortly after calving. AS
it attacks the best milking cows in the
herd, and at q time when the milk
flow is heaviest, the disease is one
which has caused very severe losses
I'm our dairy industry. 1t is therefore
Of the greatest Importance that every
milk producer acquaint himself with
the present extremely successful treat.
ment and provide himself with a
suitable apparatus for injecting ster-
lie air through each teat until the
udder is we'll distended. This air
treatment is by far the most simple
and practicable as we'll as the most
efficacious and harmless one ever used
and has reduced the mortality from
the disease to almost nothing. 1t is
easy Of manipulation, requires but lit
tie time and is readily accomplished
by means Of the apparatus suggested
by the department.
Up to within recent times most
stringent measures were resorted to
by every careful dairyman to prevent
the disease in his herd. However,
since the air treatment has so greatly
reduced and even in some cases OBJ
liberated the mortality, prevention IS
no longer such an important problem,
and therefore preventive measures,
such as starvation, bloodletting, etc.,
which have severe and lasting effect
upon the animals, should be abandon
ed.

Water Content of Butter.

A low water content may be obtain
ed by lowering the churning tempera-

water and allowing the washings to
drain thoroughly, sailing the butter,
working partially and postponing the
second working until the butter has
become hardened in the refrigerator

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 cOndl-
lions for lessening contamination, the
milk should be cooled promptly and
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 a 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 a hot water hose a
stream of water from the pump will do
good work. Creamery Journal.
Need of Pasteurizing.
The rational use of starters has done
much to raise the general standard of
butter in America, says Creamery
Journal. But the finest starters added
to cream already teeming with many
species Of good and bad bacteria can
not produce the best results. 1t is OBJ
vious that the best results with good
starters are possible only when the
bacteria in the cream are first destroy
ed by pasteurization SO that the good
germs introduced by the starter may
have clean field for development
Working the Butter.
Butter of medium frmness loses
about per cent of moisture for every
revolution it is worked in excess.
Use of Preservatfves.
Preservatives in milk do not benefit
the human race, although they may in
crease the profits Of the dairyman.-

Artificial CoIoring.
Use less coloring in butter, and when
cows have been on the grass for some
time leave out artificial coloring en-

The Modern PlOW.

Thomas Jefferson invented the mod
ern plow. There were plows, of course,
thousands of years before the time of
the Sage of Monticello, but he first
laid down the mathematical principles
that underlie the construction of the
plow and so enabled any blacksmith to
make one. A plow consists Of two
wedges, cutting and a lifting wedge,
and Jefferson discovered and enunciat-
ed the proportions of each and the re-
lations each bore to the other. Before
his day no two smiths made ploWs
alike Now they are all made in &C
cordance with q mathematical formula.

REVENUE MEN
ACTIVE IN DE- SOTO CASE
Seizure of Tobacco and Cigars
in ShipIey Street Building
Made Yesterday

The contents Of the cigar factory OF
Anthony De Soto were seized by Dep
uty Collector of Internal Revenue Dam
lei Burton yesterday afternoon by order
OF the United States Revenue Depart
ment through p. l.. Goldborough, col
lector of Internal revenue Of the Dis
trict of Maryland. The case has been
placed I'm the hands OF District Attor-
ney j. p. Nields. for such action as he
may deem proper. IL is expected that
De Soto viii be arrested within a few
days and arraigned before United
states Commissioner William G. Ma
hany on a charge of violating the in
ternal revenue laws in the manufacture
of cigars.
There seems to be a difference Of
opinion between De Soto and the
United states authorities as to the
bonding of his place of business as a
cigar factory. He claims that the en-
tire building running from Market
street back to Shipley is a bonded
warehouse for the manufacture and
storage Of cigars. The revenue officers,
however. il is said. claim that De Soto
occupies two buildings, the one facing
shipley street and the Market street
store The tobacco and cigars in the
shipley street end Of the building were
seized.

Corporal Joseph Rossell. Of this city was
yesterday presented to President Roose-
welt by Senator Ball, who told the Presi-
dent of the Abyssiula expedition, Of
which Mr.. Rossell was prominent mem
Der.
President Roosevelt shook hands with
the gallant young corporal and patted
him upon the back while he commended
him upon his part in the expedition TO
the palace over the desert.
Senator Ball told the President of the
part the corporal played: how he ex-
planned the mechanism of the American
rife to the Eastern Potentate and about
the receiving of the medals by Mr.. Rossell
from the ruler. The President seemed to
be acquainted with all the details Of the
expedition.
Mr.. Rossell was so overcome by the
-'raise of the President that ne was only
able to mutter a few words Of thanks.
lie is the first one of those who pene-
trated the desert to return TO the United
States and the President seemed deeply
interested IN all that was said
Great commercial value is lad upon the
expedition, which is the frs. that ever
visited this part Of Abyssinia from the
United States. The journey was made over
the desert on camels and those who made

ships.
The Senator seemed proud in present
ing the corporal and told the president
that it afforded him much pleasure in
bringing this Delaware boy to his notice
after his long trip and hardship in for
eign lands. while representing the Stars
and Stripes.

LACK OF MOTIVE POWER;
RAILROAD MEN IDLE
Crews Wait Two and Three
Days Between Trips.
No Engines

The lack of motive power on the
Pennsylvania railroad is causing much
.restlessness among the freight crews.
In speaking Of the conditions one Of
the men this morning said:
Railroad men are not making near
as much money as they used to. We
cannot get engines to move our trains
and as a consequence we lay idle for
days at a time between our runs 1t is
not because there is no work to do, but
on account Of our not having locomO-
tives to move our trains. We formerly
made from S75 to $50 a month; now we
make only from $40 to S45 a month"
OF course the Increased amount Of
freight has a great deal to do with this
condition, but one of the principal
causes Is that so many locomotives
have been disabled by wrecks. More
engines are now in the different shops
of the company than can be repaired.
They cannot keep up with those coming
lin constantly to be overhauled. Many
of the old locomotives have given out
during the year and although the erect
ing shops are working as fast as pos
sihle on new engines the demand far
exceeds the supply.
