The Astute Mr.. Watson.

Candidate Watson knows a thing or
two. He calls Roosevelt the genuine
article and Parker the Spurious sub

alarmed for the republic. The voters
will never be fooled by something lust
as good from the pack of the itinerant
statesman of Wolfert's Roost.

An Electric Cow-MiIker.

The applications Of electricity are
now many and various, and the posi-
biIities of a still wider and more va
ried use are almost beyond concep.
ton; but probably few have thought of
the electric agent as a substitute for
the oId-fashioned method of milking
cows But our consular agent at Gems,
Germany, in a report to the state de-
partment, describes an electric appa-
ratus for milking cows actually in use
in that part of Germany In this con.
trivance rubber hoods are attached to
the udder of the COW. These hoods
are connected with vessel for re-
ceiving the milk by means of a rubber
tube, from which the air is exhausted
by means of the electrical device. It
is claimed that the suction thus Sc
cured resembles very closely the suck
ing of a calf, and that for this reason
the cow lets down" her milk more
freely than when MIXED by hand. 1t
is also claimed that absolute cIeanli-
ness of the milk may be secured when
this method of milking is employed

good milk out Of the s1usn Of the mud

The wise dairyman will test the cow
With keen appetite and find out what
she is doing with the large amount of
feed eaten. II she is returning a profit

that his farm is increasing in fertility
every year, even if he is only making
a living at the business. The only pos
sible exception to this is the man that

A POUND OF BUTTER.
Some Advice, Which II Needed, VIII
Produce a Edge
Article.

In the official report on the Farmers
Institutes of Canada last year, the
dairymaids and farmers wives were
told-what they doubtless knew be-
fore-that pound Of butter contained
IS ounces; but when it came to the
Characterization of each of these 16
ounces, we believe that most OF them
learned something new. This is the
way the ounces were described:
/. One Ounce of Wisdom.-Let us
show wisdom in selecting and demand
ing only the best.
2. One Ounce Of Preeaution.-We
will take the precaution to properly
prepare our utensils, and leave them
in good condition when we are through
with them.
3. One Ounce Of Concentration
Have your mind on your work and
you will make no mistakes.
T. One Ounce of Cleanliness.-This
IS the dairyman.s motto, and needs to
he exercised in the whole process of
buttermaking.
5. One Ounce of Determination
This will help US to overcome all diff
eulties.
s. One Ounce of Preye1tion.-The
science of buttermaIing is made up
almost entirely OF preventive meas
ures
Z. One Ounce of Forethought.-
Which is needed at every stage.
s. One Ounce of Professionalism

which this butter is being made? We
#ill consider this, and develop favor,

8. One Ounce Of Discrimination

ment paper, salt, etc.

and for making conditions favorable
for ehurning at a low temperature.
II. One Ounce Of Common Sense
II we use this, we will stop churning
when the butter is in granular form.
13. One Ounce of Patience.-We
must have patience in using the Their
mometer, in draining the wash water
eff the butter, and in giving the sal
time to dissolve.
IA. One Ounce of E1perience-This
will help us in knowing when the but

Is. One Ounce of eatness-This
applies to person and product, and es-
pecially to the printing and wrapping

We will do our best, use what is best
and give such weight that the butter
will be full 16 ounces when it reaches
the consumer.
