HINTS ABOUT MILKING.

Before commencing to milk, brush
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the COW.
Always milk the COW dry before
leaving her, but do not continue strip
ping after the milk is all drawn.
Always milk a COW in the same
manner, at about the same time and
speed. Any change will irritate and
tend to excite her.
There should always be a friendly
feeling between the COW and the milk
er, and mixers should not be changed
ii it can be avoided
COW will not give down" her milk
to mixer she hates or is afraid of,
and what she does give will be de-
fcient in butter fat.
After little manipulation of the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
come down" Then is the time to
take it, and do not delay.
The last milk drawn from a COW is
much richer than the first. The last
quart usually contains more than three
times as much butter as the first.
NO definite rule can be given as tC
how the teats should be handled in
milking, as cows differ and hands diff
fer so nuch but be sure of one thing,
please the COW if possible.
Have the stable clean and have the
COW clean, or you cannot get clean
milk. Lime and whitewash for walls
and posts is good thing. Land
plaster is good absorbent in the
stable.
When it comes a cows turn to be
MIXED she knows it and expects it and
wants to be MIXED If you disappoint
her and milk half an hour later, the
chances are that you will get less and
even poorer milk than if you MIXED
at the proper time

MARYLAND LEADS OFF.
Oranges of That State support Ma
tiOnnl Demand FOR Federal Aid
in Road Building.

The state grange of Maryland is the
first of the state oranges to follow the
National grange in demanding that the
government aid in improving the high
ways. At a fully attended meeting in
Baltimore recently strong resolution
on this subject was adopted, and Master
J. B. Ager in his annual address said:
There seem to be great interest at this
time all over the state in regard to good
roads. 1t is said that the government
has expended $500, 600 900 in improving
this rivers and harhors and proposes to
spend 100000 in building the 18TH
milan canal. Therefore we believe some
thing should be appropriated to assist
the farmers in building permanent high
ways.
According to Secretary Wilson's re-
port the farmers have aided the govern
ment very materially. Discussing the
balance of trade, the secretary says that
the favorable balance of trade to the
credit of this country is due entirely
to the farmers. The balance of trade in
the farm products during the last IA
years, no year excepted, aggregated S4,-
SOC 100000 in products. Other than the
farm products during the same period
the balance of trade was adverse to this
country to the extent of $685., 900 ,000
Our farmers not only Cancelled this i'm
mense obligation, but placed SO, $40 ,OO0,-
900 to the credit of the nation, when the
books of the international exchanges
were balanced. He concludes that it is
the farmers that have paid the foreign
bondholders. Now, why should not the
government aid the farmers in the con-
struction of roads? 1t is shown by care
full estimates that it cost $500 900, 900 to
haul the products of the farm to railway
stations, rivers and canals, which is
vastly more than it costs to maintain
100000 miles of railway, and by careful
estimates the cost could be reduced one
nalf. have no doubt that on some roads
1t could be reduced much more"

A Physician's Statement.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. ll.-Leland Will
hanson, M. D., one of the cleverest ply
sieians, has made statement, endorsing
Dodds' Kidney Pills and saying that he uses
them in his daily practice in preference to
any other Kidney medicine. His statement
has created a profound sensation as it is
somewhat unusual for a physician to pub
licly endorse anything in the shape of
patent medicine. DR.. Williamson says:
After twenty years practice in sickly
and malarious country | have come to the
conclusion that it is always best to use the
remedy that will relieve and cure my pa
tients whether ethical or not.
Il have used Dodd 3 Kidney Pills with uni
form success in the various forms of Kidney
Disease, Pain in the Back, Gout, Rheuma-
tism, Inflammation and Congestion of the
Kidneys and all kindred diseases; always
prescribe Dodd's Kidney Pills in such cases
and can testify that they invariably restore
the Kidneys to their normal state and there
by relieve the blood of accumulated poisons,
producing prompt and effective cures"

Telling the Sex of Chicks.

After some experience chicks can
be selected before they are two
months old. Leghcrn pullets soon
show their sex ON the wings. Barred
Plymouth Rock cockerels are lighter
than the pullets, and there is differ
ence in the shape. Pullets seem to fill
out the wings sooner and take form
early. C6ckerels are straight up
(their heads curl over their feet),
have longer legs and necks and are
bare about the shoulders. The pullets
have rather more of the Dorking or
duck shape, not standing up so
straight. Observation and experience
are the best guides. 1t is claimed that
if the little combs are examsned with
a magnifying glass those of the cock
erels will be straight, while those OF
the pullets will be inclined to lean
over.

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew Jack
son, which has been carried by him ever
since. Mr. Brock is a dignified old gen.
tleman, showing few signs of decrepi-
tude. His family Bible is still preserved,
and it shows that the date of his birth
was written 115 years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
BILE old gentleman, who has had lis years
of experience to draw from, would be
interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December 4, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, the
oldest living man, illustrated with a
double column portrait, was given the
readers of the Dallas Morning News
dated December II, 1898, and also the
Chicago Times-Herald of same date

The straight edge is leveled on the bot
