OTIS Lecture.

The lecture Saturday evening,
"Sour Grapes" by Ed Amherst OFT
was one of the best ever given In the
city. 1t was fairly well attended but
the audience was not so large as 1t
should have been.
In this lecture Mr.. OFT explains the
influence OF birth and environment
upon the development of character,
shows that beredity is determining
factor In the life u each individual,
either for good or evil, and makes a
strong plea for better understanding
of human nature, showing the practl-
cal value of such a knowledge to the
teacher and also to the home. Crlmi-
ology, he asserts is not cOmmon--fami-
lies In this country from which the
great majority OF criminals are pro.
duced being few In number. On the
other hand he shows that talent, or
genius, is also a family trait. The
great majority OF people, be assumes
are normal and capable Of symmetri-
cal growth.
Mr.. OFT has splendid voice q
pleasing manner and Is fast class
entertainer.

injuries In a runaway. He had left
his team standing In front Of Mrs.
Tannahlll's residence while perform

Encourage the Cultivation OiTlmbe'

Encourage the Cultivation OF Timber.
We should like to see the legisla.
ture at its coming session nextwinter
adopt some method OF encouraging
the cultivation of timber. The cut
ting OEforeSt timber for the uses of
the present time is extremely des-
tructive and In few years at most but
little timber will remain. Forests
even now are not sufficient to supply
the demand made upon them. With
an increasing populal ion and require
ment from this source and decreas-
ing supply it is not difficult to foresee
what the result must be. Timber
improves the country in many ways.
1t has a beneficial climatic effect
which alone Is sufficient to warrant
encouragement In It's growth. 1t
beauties the country and this is a
sufficient reason for ats cultivation.
Beside these and many Others that
might be named, IL adds a certain
and definite increase in the financial
valuation of property. Every farm
has some land that could be proitably
used for the growth of timber. Let
the legislature pass a law giving a
reduction In the taxable valuation Of
property for the planting Of stated
amount of timber and we will hare a
law that will prove Of great value to
Kansas.

CORN AND COB MEAL.
A Combination Which Is Held I'm High
Favor by Progressive Western
Dairymen.

Cobs are too valuable for the dairy
man to throw away or burn. They
may not possess much nutriment, but
it has been demonstrated quite con-
clusively that they have a feeding val
ue not much less than the corn that
grew upon them, provided they are
ground with the corn. A certain weight
Of corn and cob meal is equal in feed
ing value to like weight of pure ground
corn. This result doubtless arises from
the more digestible form given to the
corn meal by the presence of the ground
cobs. One of the largest cattle feeding
companies in Nebraska buys all the
cobs it can get, which grinds with the
shelled corn it has been compelled to
buy. 1t raises corn and buys what II
can unshelled. but has still to resort to
outside purchases. Our readers should
remember this. 1t is one strong argu-
ment in favor of grinding the corn rath-
er than feeding it in any other way; for
only by grinding can the cob be rem
dered available. The chemist cannot
find the value in the cob that the COW
can, but it is there. We have paid too
little attention to the mechanical form
in which our dairy feeds are given. The
cow has stomach differing very much
from that of many other of our farm
animals, and concentrated foods are not
handled in it to good neutrality-suspicious.

MANAGING A HEIFER.
Much Of the Young Animals Success
As . Dairy Cow Depends on
q Correct Start.

No matter how well heifer is backed
up by the milking qualities of ancestors,
much of her success as dairy cow de-
ponds on getting her rightly started.
Accordingly, though kept in thrifty
condition, she should not be encouraged
to fatten while growing, lest when
growth be attained all her surplus food
goes to fat. 1t is advisable to have her
freshen as soon as she is two years
old, If not a little before, and, generally
speaking, the calf removed the moment
it is born-if possible so she will not
see it, least of all touch it. Given, then,
two quarts of sweetened and sailed oat-
meal, or linseed cruel, including drink
ing water with the chill taken of, she
should four hours later be MIXED and
the calf fed. That the milking may
be nothing new to her, her udder and
teats should have been previously hand
led, and even some milk drawn every
night and morning if the udder happens
to be too full for few days before the
calf is dropped. During this critical
period she might be fed moderate grain
ration twice a day. composed OF bran
and corn meal, but if so her udder should
be closely watched, to see if it becomes
hard and hot; in that case it should be
bathed in warm water and rubbed with
a camphorated preparation and the
grain ration, of course, stopped. AS
Stunning, however, that she freshens IN
every respect without mishap, in week
or two her food should be steadily but
lightly increased, with the milking done
by the same person at regular hours.
The object should be to make her main
tain a good flow for long time or I'M
til she calves again, if possible, and il
she seems capable Of enduring this
treatment, she should be literally fed.
While the practice of continuous milk
ing from year to year is not to be ad-
vocated, since, as rule, cows do bet
ter work and produce stronger progeny
when given chance to build up for a
month or six weeks before parturition, it
is policy to establish in the heifer, if
one can, the habit of long milking which
will go with her through life.-Agri-
cultural Epitomist.

Dairy Work as a Science.

Dairy schools are now in operation in
many states, and short courses of in
struction in butter and cheese making
are given at some of the agricultural COL
leges. 1t was long ago demonstrated
that inferior butter could not compete
with oleomargarine, and that good but
ter of choice quality could always be sold
at a good price. The fact has also been
demonstrated that there was much to
learn in making good butter, and that
cleanliness and the proper management
of the milk were essential in producing
the choice article. There has been a
wonderful advance in methods of butter
making, and oleomaragine is response
BILE for it. Consumers will not purchase
the counterfeit article if they can get the
genuine, and poor butter is as much a
counterfeit as any other imitation

to be sterilized before being offered for
sale, but even should that desirable con-
dition of affairs be reached, it will still
be obligatory upon the milkman to see
that no opportunity is afforded for the
contact of the tactical fluid with con-
taminated atmosphere in the stable.
Probably the best way in which this can
be accomplished is by the aid of the
pneumatic milking machine here illus
trated. 1t is so arranged as to not only
milk the cows automatically, but also
ncloses the milk in an air-tight re-
ceptacle as long as it IS in the prox-
unity of the animal. This is accom-
plished by reservoir suspended over
head and connected with the teat cups
by short section of hose. BY means
of vacuum created in the pipe to
which the reservoir is attached the milk
is drawn from the teats and deposited
in the receptacle, whence it can be re-
moved to the creamery for further
treatment before being placed on sale.

The Business Dairyman.

The time is here when the dairynan
must thoroughly understand not Only
the science of milk production and Of
buttermaking, but must understand the
general laws that govern the business
world. He must be business man as
relates to dairying and as relates to all
other economic factors. He must under
stand the markets and know how to buy
his machinery, salt and all other utensils
at their true worth. He can no longer
afford to use imperfect material or ma
chinery. The man that is shut up to the
old imperfect machines and appliances
is not far from failure.-Fsrn crS Re.

Feeding Salt to the Cows.

One of the most successful dairymen
we know about feeds his cows four
ounces of salt per COW per day and says
that it pays. 1.-The cows give more milk,
the milk has much better flavor, ard
will keep considerably longer" The
salt is fed with the grain ration. Since
hearing this man we have fed our cows
more salt. Altogether we have not got
up to the quarter-pound notch, yet we
still believe that good many cows dc
not get as much salt as they really need.
Sailing is one of the little things that
are apt to be neglected. and a handful
once week is a too common practice

How to Clean the Churns.

A churn cannot be made clean with a
dirty cloth, and a cloth of this kind Is
one of the best known places for breed
ing disease germs, and these may be
washed from the seams of the pans or
corners Of the churn. 1t takes only a
few minutes to wash the cloths in cold
water, and then they should be put in
a strong pearline suds and allowed to
boil for at least 20 minutes, then they
should be rinsed and hung out in the
air and sunshine, and if this is done every
few days, the cloths may be always kept
white and sweet smelling. - Midland
