INFLAMED UDDERS.
Nfne-Tenths of the Cases of This
Annoying Disease Are Caused
by Taking Cold.

Many complaints are in about this
malady, and this will answer all of
them. In the first place, cows prop
erly cared for rarely have this trouble.
The udder of deep milking cows is
very sensitive, and nine-tenths of the
cases are caused by taking cold, says
the Dairy World. Recently one of the
windows in a cow barn was raised a.
little in a warm day and was left open
during the night. The next morning
the cow standing nearest the window
had swollen udder. During the
night she took cold from the draft and
1t settled in the udder. Closing the
window after the evening milking
would have avoided the trouble. For
treatment the udder was frequently
bathed with hot water, scrubbed Wig
orously until dry and vaseline was ap-
piled. Generally a physic is recon-
mended, but with the treatment de-
scribed we have not found it neces-
sary. At this season many cows are
fresh, and if allowed to lie on the
damp ground they are likely to take
cold, especially if they have been well
housed during the winter. If the I'D
der begins to cake before calving fol-
low the remedy prescribed, and milk
out Of course the best way is to pre-
vent this chief cause. Daily access to
salt is important because if salt is
given only occasionally they will take
too much, causing abnormal thirst fol-
lowed by drinking too much cold
water which often results in q cold.

HINTS ABOUT MILKING.

Milk as rapidly as possible without
irritating or worrying the cows.
Before commencing to milk, brush
all loose dirt from the sides and udder
of the COW.
Always confine cows in a stable to
be MIXED. 1t is better than having
them chase one another around the
yard.
There should always be a friendly
feeling between the COW and the milk
er, and mixers should not be changed
if it can be avoided
After a little manipulation of the
teats and udder, the milk is ready to
come down." Then is the time to
take 1t, and do not delay.
No definite rule can be given as to
how the teats should be handled in
milking. as cows differ and hands diff
fer so much: 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 ths
Stabls.

WATER AFFECTS BUTTER.
Recent Bulletin from the Iowa
Experiment Station.

All well water, whether it be from
shallow wells or deep wells, contains
bacteria. Water from shallow wells
is polluted with impurities to a great
er degree than water from deep wells.
The conditions which surround shall
low wells do not guarantee a creamery
pure water at different seasons of the
year. Filthy surface water is all the
time seeping in from the sides, espe-
cially during the wet season. In the
spring of the year, or at any time dur
ing the different seasons when heavy
rains are frequent, shallow, open or
bored wells act as receptacle for in
flowing, nasty surface water contain
ing great deal of organic matter, and
where organic matter is present
germs of different species are always
sure to be present
Besides being a receptacle for such
infiowing water, shallow wells serve
in the capacity of traps for number
of animals, such as rats, mice, rabbits,
skunks, minks and squirrels. The
presence of one or more of these dead
animals in an open well is sure to re-
suit in water strongly impregnated
with undesirable odors and a multi
tude of undesirable and putrefactive
organisms, which, when distributed
through butter, will produce no good
results. If every open we'll was
drained and searched for such dead
animals, very few would be searched
in vain.
The writer has seen water used
which was impregnated with impur-
tiles and bad odors to such an extent
that it impaired directly to the butter
this same undesirable odor and taste.
The very fact that water from certain
weiis las clean appearance and pure
taste does not necessarily indicate
that it is free from undesirable germs.
Deeply drilled wells are much the best
for supplying ereameries with water.
They cannot in any possible way serve
as a trap for small animals as can the
open wells. Germs do not enter the
soil so deep as to cause water to be
infested with them, SO the number OF
germs deep we'll water contains large
ly come from the atmosphere after
exposure to it or to unclean recep-
tacles. Prof. Pammel found shallow

600 germs per cubic centimeter.; Deep
we'll water he rarely found to coptain
more than 400 germs per cubic cent?

Tells How He Escaped the Terrors of Many Winters
by Using Pe=ru=na.

This centenarian is an ardent friend OF
Peruna, having used it many years.
In speaking of his good health and e1--

THE SPEAKING LAST NIGHT.
I Was by Far the Largest and Most Enthu
siastic Meetings Of the Local Campaign.

tnE SF6RNtNG IHSt Ni1nI.
Il Was by Far the Largest and Most Enthu
siastic Meetings Of the Local Campaign.
The largest and best meeting OF the
campaign was held last evening, by the
Democrats, at the theater, at which
the strange anomaly was presented of
the speakers being about evenly divided
from the two leading parties. Senator
Turner was not present from illness
which has, temporarily at least, sus.
pended the splendid canvass he was
making. But ex-Congressman Doo-
little was there and T. f. Mentzer,
both Of whom made telling speeches
from their view of matters, which is
with one eye on Teddy's chances and
the other is in support of he Demo-
cratic State and county nominees.
Under ordinary circumstances, this
would be breach OF usage that would
not be tolerated by either party, but it
is claimed that the exigency justifies
departure from iron.clad rules which
have hitherto been regarded as an es.
sential groundwork of stability of all
leading parties.
Among the other speakers, was
Steve Judson, candidate for Lieutenant
Governor, who was greeted with a
royal welcome from his many friends,
especially those OF "auld lang syne,"
who suffered with him the privations
of pioneer life, One thing the people
of Thurston will never forget. and now
have an opportunity to repay some
what, is the faithful support they have
always received from him in advocacy
OF their local interests. Their welcome
was really an ovation. and we predict
that "Steve" will lead his ticket in
Thurston county.
Lee Purdin, of kittitas, the candi-
date for State Auditor. and George
Mudgett OF Spokane, candidate for
State Treasurer, were strangers to
most OF our people, but created a fav-
orable impression, by their plain and
evidently sincere statements of a dis
position to discharge we'll and faith
fully every duty incumbent upon them
in the important officers to which
they aspire.
Tom Vance presided and the Brew
cry Band played, and everybody left
the. theater delighted with the meet
ing. In fact, that was shown through
out the programme, there having been
more heartfelt exhibitions of zeal and
enthusiasm manifested than in any
meeting that has preceded it. 1t was
the sort Of feeling that presages sue
cess.
