8RYAN'S SPEECH ON PARKER.

When, after the downfall of Napo-
leon, the BOurbons We're restored to
the throne OF France, they started In
again to mlsgovern in exactly the
same way that their ancestors had
done. The lessons of the French revo-
luton We're lost upon them, and II
was said OF them that they had learn
cd nothing and forgotten nothing"
This saying may be applied to Will.
lam Jennings Bryan. lie seems to in
sist that the Democratic party shall
seek the Presidency on issues which
the people have twice disapproyed.
This may be sincerity, but it il not
politics.
The Democratic party is in politics,
and while it admires the fiery elo-
Guence and devotion OF its erstwhilc
leader, yet il will probably prefer Civ
ing the people something they will
stand for than remaining sincere 10
the unpopular ideas OF Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Bryan seems 10 want 10 keep
out of the Democratic party all those
who were not with him in the cam
palgns of 1896 and 1900. That Is. he
refuses recruits; and yet, If the Demo
cratic party does not get recruits IL
will be beaten again. II was beaten
in 1896 and 1900 because only II mi
nority Of the American voters ap.
proved Of the principles which it enun.
ciated. II IL rc-enunclates the same
principles and makes the fight on the
same issues once again only minori,
~ of the American voters will enroll
themselves in its ranks.
Mr. Bryan censures the New York
Democratic platform because it Il not
explicit. But he did not set forth
khat kind OF platform he himself

would approve. Even he is guilty of
Il little lodging.
For instance. he did not say whether
the 10 to | plank should I've rcincorpor-
atcd in the next Democratic platform.
Does Mr.. Bryan insist that Ii to |
should again he inscribed on the Dem
ocratic banner?
Also. he did not make it clear whcth-
cr. in his opinion. the United States
should abandon the Philippines abso-
lutcly. or abandon them and guarantee
their independence. or maintain Il pro.
tcctoratc over them. He should be
more definite on this question. lie
said "imperialism is an issue" In just
what way would he meet that issue?

Omaha Meet of Creamery People.

At the end of March last here was
held an interesting session in Omaha
of farmers, dairymen and cream sepa-
rator dealers. They met to discuss
improved methods of dairying and
creamery work to meet present day
conditions created by the introduction
of the hand separator The Empire
Cream Separator Co., of Bloomfield, N.
j., and Portland, Ore, was the NOV
ing spirit in the calling of the meeting.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-04-15

The company acted the host to the
delegates while they were in Omaha.
The Hygeia Creamery Co., of Omaha,
also took prominent part in the con-
duct of the meeting. 1t is reported
that a good exhibit was one OF the
features.
The question of the farm separator
was a leading topic for discussion
both by creamerymen and da1rymen.
The introduction of the hand separa-
tor has made possible the large cen
traliZed creamery drawing for cream
on a territory from one hundred and
fifty to two hundred miles surrounding
it. The point was made by various
speakers that to enable the creamery
man to produce butter of high quality
it is absolutely necessary that the
cream reach him in first class condl-
ton. This cannot be done If it is
neglected on the farm.
Starting at the very beginning 1t
was insisted upon that the milk COW
must have the proper feed. What
ever the feeding ration is it must be
wholesome and free from faint OF any
kind. The mixer must exercise the
most scrupulous care to keep all for
eign matter of every kind from the
milk pail The milk must be separated
Immediately after milking. This is
necessary for two reasons. In the first
place it is more easily separated then,
and all foreign matter is removed with
the skim milk before it has time to
dissolve and contaminate the butter
fat. In the second place skim milk
e. 10 nthnr live stock
while it retains the animal heat is
unquestionably more easily digested,
and of greater nutritive value than
skim milk which is allowed to become
cold.
After separating the cream should
be thoroughly cooled, and kept cool
until it is taken to the receiving sta
ton or shipped to the creamery.
The question of how often cream
should be shipped evoked much dis
cussion, and it was decided that I'M
uuestionably it is better to deliver
cream every day if possible. If the
farmer has the proper means for car
ing for the cream, it need not be ship
ped perhaps oftener than twice week
in the winter, and three times a week
in summer, but in no case should
cream be held on the farm longer than
this time.
The speakers emphasized the fact
that the creamerymen must make
high quality of butter in order to be
able to pay the milk producer a good
price for his cream. The creamery in
dustry depends primarily upon the
farmer. The milking of COWS is not
an easy task, and unless the farmer
receives at all times fair price for
his cream, he cannot be expected to
continue producing it.
The most significant feature of the
convention is the fact that it shows
determination on the part of manu-
facturers and creamery men to exalt
as high as possible the standard of
farm separator butter There is an

abroad for really excellent creamery
butter. The trade belongs to the Am
erican farmer and by little con-
certed action the butter trade of the
world can be captured.

THE DAIRY
Steers from Dairy Bred Cows.
(Prof. II. l.. Haecker.)

Cattle experiments have SHOWN InaI
steers from dairy bred COWS hold their
own fairly we'll both in the feed lot
and on the block with those from
COWS of the beef breds. 1t is admitted
that buyers of feeders, and butchers as
well, are in the habit of shading the
price of steers that show dairy mark
ings; but that is only a prejudice, or
used as a preteXt to drive sharp bar
gain.
If steers were fed and slaughtered
at home for the local market, as they
should be, local butchers would soon
learn that there is little difference, ii
any, in the butchering qualities OF the
two kinds of steers, and the dairy
steers would soon sell for what they
are really worth. Some who pretend to
be honest and truthful say that dairy
steers require more feed for a given
gain in weight than beef bred steers;
that they mature more slowly, and are
meager in the choice cuts. There is
no warrant for any of these state
ments, and those who make them are
either blind to the fact or willfully
misrepresent.
If good dairy sires were used by the
farmers of Minnesota, who are milk
ing 100000 COWS, the annual yield OF
butter per cow could soon be raised
from $50 to $50 pounds of butter per
COW, which would increase their earn
ing capacity 500 per COW, and would
add $16,OO0,000 to their income. Can
as much or half as much be said for
results if beef sires were used ex-
clusively? AS matter of fact, under
present conditions-the high price OF
feed and very low price of steers-there
would want nothing but the channel
island breeds, the Jerseys and Guern-
seys with no particular preference be-
tween the two, unless the land should
be rough and rather inaccessible, which
is often the case in the coast and inter
mountain countries, in which case we
should want the hardy, industrious
Ayrshire.
On the other hand if we were in the
dairy business in the interior valleys
where alfalfa is the main standby in
the way of feed, the most of which is
water which neceSSitateS the handling
of a large volume from which the
chemical nutriments must be derived
out of which milk is elaborated, where
rough feed is plenty and cheap upon
which to raise the offspring for future
cows, veal or beef, we should want
COWS of large size with big digestive
capacity, capable of handling large
volume of food that they could gather
at short range, which would be the
inactive Holstein-Friesian - inactive
physically but a worker when it comes
to making milk out of big lot of
course fed. In fact we are not so set
in one direction that we would ignore
the advantages of the Shorthorn or
Red Polls as means of converting alf-
alta into either milk or meat, for if the
Jersey, Guernsey and Holstein become
of too general adoption there will not
be surplus of fine quality of beef, and
the steer raised as an adjunct to the
dairy might pay handsomely for some
body must raise the beef for the cOun-
try and no one wants to keep cow
year for the sole purpose of giving
birth to a beef calf once year; and
so the Shorthorn and the Red Poll
have their places.
