A BUTTER. FAT RECORD.
High Notch Reached By the Guernsey
Cow Charmante.

-
Cow Charmamtc.
a new worlds butter fat record for
a year has recently been made. 676.4
pounds This wonderful performance
has been accomplished by the Guernsey
COW Charmante of the Gron (14442). inn
ported and owned by II. Mex. Twom-
bly,. Morris county. N. ].
During the year this COW gave to-
tai of l1.87476 pounds of milk, with
an average of ST. per cent of butter fat.
This is equivalent to 1892 pounds of
butter, or an average Of 2.16 pounds of
butter day.. The test started Oct. II,
1902. 1t was conducted under the SUI
per9ision of the New Jersey agricultur.
al experiment station. This record Is
the best ever made by. cow of any
breed in the world where public super
vision has been given.
just how wonderful it is is possibly
best shown by comparison VIII other
official records of Guernsey cows. as
published by the American Guernsey
Cattle club. In listSof seventy three
records only one COW has given more
milk in the course of year. This an
imal was Glenwood Girl vi. Glib, who
gave 12.187.33 pounds of milk, which,
however, only produced 572.30 pounds
of butter fat, or 104 pounds less than
Charmante of the Gron.
Three cows have produced milk with
better average butter fat test. In
each case their years milk record was
small. Mary Marshall (5604) gave 8,212.-
81 pounds of milk, testing $50 per cent
butter fat and making 1854 pounds;
Eulalie of Elm Place (14398 produced
7,026.30 pounds of milk. testing 6.21
per cent butter fat. equaling 1852
pounds, and Zelma gave 6068.20 pounds
Of milk. testing ST. per cent butter fat,
totaling 340.34 pounds. This last rec
ord is barely half that Of Charmante
of the Gron.
The two next best records to the new
one are those of Portia of Maplehurst,
11.622.65 pounds of milk. testing $40
per cent and making 602.37 pounds of
butter fat, and Pritoria's 11,528.S4
pounds of milk, testing 5.3 per cent
and yielding 1855 pounds of butter
fat.
A glance at the monthly records
shows that Charmante's production was
the highest during January, when she
gave 112106 pounds Of milk, testing 6.1
per cent and producing 68.38 pounds Of
butter fat. The lowest production was in
September, when the milk yield was
71O Of mounds. testing 6 per cent and
making 1892 pounds butter fat.
Charmante was imported in 1901
from the herd of Mr.. e. A. Hambro of
Kent, England She was dropped July
Z, 1896. and is a well marked COW of
good dairy conformation and has an
excellent udder. She dropped bull
calf Oct. 6, 1902, and he is developing
into an animal of much promise.

depend largely on the cost of material,
but should not exceed $25. Often there
are waste timbers or boards about the
farm which can be made to answer
very well.
To protect the house from the beat
ing rays of the sun it is best to build
under the shade of a large tree or on
the north side of some larger building.
Its effectiveness in keeping ice will
thus be greatly increased.

DAIRY EQUIPMENT

In northern larlLuQeS the Qdlry cow
spends practically half the year in the
stable. It must be fully kept in mind
that her output of commercial products
will be governed quite as largely by
her comfort and continued good health
as by the ration she consumes
The modern dairyman has learned
quite thoroughly the necessity for
warmth and comfort in his stables, but
too often fails to provide sufficiently
for its ventilation. A herd of cows will
often be found stabbed where the own
er would think himself half dead from
suffocation were he to spend night in
the same quarters. It is an easy mat
ter to cut off half the productive years
of valuable cows life by compelling
her to breathe over the yitiated air of a
poorly ventilated stable.
/ have frequently observed cattle and
horses fairly gasp and pant for fresh
air when the stables were opened in
the morning.
The heavily producing dairy animal
especially needs large quantities of
pure air to free her system from the
wastes which heavy feed engenders
and will otherwise clog and promote
disease-B. f. w. Thorpe in Farm and
Home.
The Best Separator
The best way to determine which of
many different makes Of separators is
a good one TO recommend or use is to
get one of these machines. set it up in
the proper manner and make careful
tests Of the skinned milk obtained
from the separator when it is being run
under normal conditions. says Profess
or Harrington. 1t will also be a good
plan to get test of the skinned milk
when there is some variation from nor
NAL in the speed Of the bowl, the tenn
perature of the milk and the amount
of milk SKINNED per hour. These lat
ter results will show how much the
efficiency Of the separator is Influenced
by such abnormal conditions.
In our extensive use of many separa-
TORS for the past ten years I have mo-
ticed that the hand separator is some
thing like other machines which people
own, such as moving machines or sew
ing machines Each person becomes
more or less attached to the machine
be or she owns and thinks it is the
best of all those manufactured This
certainly Is good recommendation for
separator as well as for other ma
chimes, and If such an opinion is based
on carefully made tests / think the
owner Of such machines ought to be
peTfectly satisfied with them

An attempt will be made the present
winter to enact in some Of the western
states good roads law similar to
that of Pennsylvania, a law which di-
vides the cost Of building good road
as follows: Fifty per cent to be paid by
the state, % per cent by the county, 10
per cent by the township and 10 per
cent by the owners of abutting farms.
This plan is meeting with much favor
in all the eastern states where it is in
operation.

There is this to be said in favor of
devoting portion of the average farm
to timber culture that while from the
money standpoint alone it may not pay
as well to grow trees as field crops it is
also ineontestably true that nine out Of
fen farmers have more land than they
can probably work, and the assign
ment of, sav. ten acres on the 100 acre
farm for timber culture is thus made
entirely possible. Far better farm less
acres better and grow trees.

THE primary system not only takes
away party control in fact, but compels
the citizen to forego his right, or assign
himself nominally to some state govern
ed party. 1t forces the citizen to seek
the office through complex and costly
proceeding and puts it in the power of
"bosses" to combine for their own per-
sonal purposes to defeat the real major
ity by dividing it. The system is not an
extension of personal liberty, but re-
straint and an obstruction to it. The
Times should get down to the bottom of
this thing and analyze the principles in
volved, before it says it is democratic.

perience, be cured SO far as the admins

March 9th. On account of the many
improvements and new lines of study
introduced the work will be more inter
esting and important than ever. A new
course in farm engineering Will be given
in connection with the other studies that
will add much to the Importance of the
work. This study will embrace rural
architecture, farm machinery, farm mo-
tors, pumps and water supply and fence
and road construction. Special stress is
placed upon the designing of houses,
barns, silos, poultry buildings and the
running of farm motors. No entrance
examination required in Short Course
and no tuition charged to residents of
Wisconsin. A practical course is there
by open to all who who desire to better
themselves in various lines of agricul-
ture. Young men contemplating attend

BECAUSE John Kempf used the state
demanded an increase OF bonds up to
100000 so the interests Of the public
would be amply safeguarded and when
he failed to secure them bounced him
out of Office. Tom Purtell is now ap-
pointed treasurer on bond of 100000.
But it has been discovered that Purtell
while clerk in the Office under Sewell
Peterson was on the doodle book" for a
$1,000 loan of state funds so in the eyes
of the public both stand on the same
footing. The difference, therefore, in
the bonds required is the difference be-
tween reformer in good standing with
the administration and one who is not.

THE republican victory in Vermont
Tuesday points the way to republican
success in the national election this fall.
Compared with the election of 1900 it
shows republican gain of 400 and
democratic loss of per cent. The piv-
otal point in Vermont in state elections
in presidential years. is $4,000. The in
dications are that the plurality of
Charles J. Bell, the republican nominee
for governor, will be about $4,000. The
results in Vermont in the Tuesdays
election may, therefore, be taken to in
dictate republican landslide this fall.

The difference between LaFolletteism
and republicanism is clearly defined in
the attitude of the two factions toward
the supreme court where judgment is
now pending. The former, defiant and
rebelious, advocates the doctrine of dis
regard for law The latter, satisfied to
rest it's case and patiently wait for the
decision. The thinking people of the
party, whatever may have been their
affiliations, are in the majority. They
are republicans, and whatever may be
the decision of the court they will en-
doree that decision.-Gazette.

The Governors Blacklist.

Gov. LaFOllette has prepared a legis-
lative blacklist, which he is using in his
political speeches in the interior of the
state. On this blacklist he has placed
the names of the members of the legis-
lature who did not wear his collar dur
ing the Legislative sessions of 1901 and
1913. He reads the "record" of each
legislator who refused to vote for the
ready made measures that came from
the executive chant Der with the indorse-
ment OF the governor stamped upon
them. He then announces that these
men did mot represent the people" but
that they are corporation tools, and he
advises republicans to defeat all black
listed legislators who have been renom-
mated by their constituents.
This man claims the right to have his
name placed on the official ballot as the
republican candidate for governor He
has detied and insulted the republican
national convention; he has announced
in advance that he will ignore the decis-
ion of the supreme court if it does not
accord with his interests; he is not con
tent to allow the republicans of legisla-
tive districts to select their own repre-
sentatives but demands that republican
candidates who will not surrender their
consciences into his keeping and aban-
don their right Of private Judgment shall
be defeated at the polls; he barters and
trades in local offices and uses his power
of appointment to strengthen his con-
troll of the legislature. And yet he poses
as a publican.
The officer who is bound by his oath
to enforce the provisions of the constitu-
ton and the laws of the state; whose
sworn duty it is to compel respect for
the judicial branch of the governments
who, in time of need, is bound by his
upholding the dignity of the court, bold
ly announces his determination to ig
more tbs supreme court.
The officer who has taken and sub
'scrihed an oath that he will expedite
all such measures as may be resolved
upon by the legislature, and shall take
care that the laws be faithfully exc
cuted," for four years has neglected his
duty as chief executive in order that he
might have time.ro prosecute campaign
designed to give him absolute power
over the legislature, to make it possible
for him to control the members of con-
gress, and, finally to secure his own elec-
ton to the United States senate.
This is all done in the name OF "Re-
FORM" Under republican government
the man does not live who safely can be
trusted with supreme, autocratic power.
When any man seeks that power, no
matter what his excuse may be, be
