Colorndo's New Congressman

tIVcS from Colorado are repuOll-
cans. This condition was effect
ed last Monday when john f.
Shafroth, congressman from the
First district, rclinquished his
scat TO Robert W. Bouyngo. who
had been contrsting Mr.. Shat
rotl's right to q mbership in
the house.
Mr.. Shafroth had previously
announced that, should the exam
ination of the ballots cast in the
slum precincts of Denver show
that enough Illegal votes had
been cast to effect his majority of
1872, he would at once resign
and request the house to seat Mr..
Bonynge. Monday the commit
tee that was hearing the contest
reported that the examination OF
the ballots cast in twenty nine
precincts in Denver disclosed the
fact that more than 5000 fraudu-
lent ballots had been placed in the
boxes. This report established
the fact that Mr.. Shafroth had
been illegally elected and he at
once resigned and asked the house
to scat Mr.. Bonynge. This was
done.
Mr.. Shafroth's action in resign
ING when he became convinced
that his election was tainted with
fraud was a commcndable one.
BY it he administered a mCrited
rebuke to the democratic fire and
police boards of Denver who had
attempted to perpetuate themsel
YES in power by stealing the cleo
ton. At the same time he prov
ed to the satisfaction of the pub
lie that he was not party to the
attempted steal.
While Mr.. Shafroth's action
was commcndaolc, at the same
time it is true that he could plain
ly see the "handwriting on the
wall, and he had reason to know
tlat Mr.. Bonynge would win the
contest in the end. even though
it had been prolonged to the close
of the session. A republican
house would not allow a member,
who had been elected by such
fraud as was Mr.. Shatroth. to re-
tain his seat.
Republicans throughout the
state, and especially those in the
First congressional district, will
rejoice at the success of Mr.. Bon
ynge. Twice candidate for the
Office he now holds, and twice ap-
parcntly defeated by the demo
Cratic machine of Denver, he has
finally secured his rights. His
denomination next fall and his re-
election will follow as surely as
night follows the day.
The death Of Senator NJ. A.
Hlnna, which occurred at the
Arlington hotel in WASHINGTON
last Monday evening, removes
from American public life one of
the ablest statesmen of modern
times. His death is an irrepara-
BILE loss, not only to the, rcpubli-
can party. Of which he was the
recognized leader, but to the
whole nation. among whose great
men he held a foremost place.
Senator Hanna first became known
in the arena of national politics
during the first Mckinley, cam
plign. His conduct OF this and
the subsequent presidential CAM
paign gave him a reputation as a
great political organizer, as well
as a great statesman. and had his
life been spared there are many
who believe that he would have
made an IDEAL candidate for pres
ident next fall.

The manager Of a creamery holds
an important place. He should be a
sort OF guiding hand in shaping the
policy Of the company, and he should
know every detail OF the business.
A great deal Of tact is often necessary

satisfied. A great deal OF expIana-
ton and a world Of patience often
keeps patrons in line who otherwise
would quit and perhaps never come
back, besides giving the business q

Coed Udders


Good udders are the exception
rather than the rule. There are a
good many COWS that are kept for
both milk production and breeding
that have very badly shaped udders-
II seems unfortunate that these char
acteristfcs must be transmitted from
generation to generation The large
udde9s well developed in each Of the
four quarters. with the teats set on at
regular distances, is the kind Of an
udder We want, so far as the shape
Is concerned. The udder that puts
down four teats all in a bunch should
not be perpetuated, but should be
eliminated as soon as possible BY
skillful selection for breeding pur-
poses. This kind Of an udder is par
ticularly Objectionable if the teats are
irregular IN shape.
Perhaps the udder that is most to
be guarded against is the one that
has about all OF its development IN
one OF two quarters, generally the
fore ones, with the headquarters
poorly developed and with the hind
teats pointing forward toward the for
ward teats.
der that viii milk down TO a rag.
while others claim that the thick I'd
der indicates richer milk The ex-
perience Of the writer has seemed to
indicate that there is something in
this latter belief, and that COWS Civ
ing rich milk have thick udders. This
may be due. and is due. doubtless 70
the fuller development Of the milk
glands, especially Of those parts that
have TO do with the formation OF but
ter-fat. At some OF our stations the
matter has been looked into, and sim
liar conclusions have been reached
In the great stock markets where
dairy cows are bought and sold, we
see an infinite variety in the shape OF
udders, due to the varieties Of cOndi-
tons under which such COWS origin
ate. They have in them blood from
every known breed and from no
known breed, and this continuous
crossing has produced numberless
notifications in the udders- In the
established breeds Of COWS we find
udders bad enough; but they have
probably a greater regularity in fOrma-
ton than the others.
We must, in fact. look to the estab-
ished dairy breeds for an improve
ment in the shapes and substances Of
the udders. II would be interesting
to know the general facts about the
udders Of COWS for a number Of gen
eratiOns, just as we find il advisable
to keep records OF their capacity 10
produce milk and butter fat A rec
ord Of the udders Of COWS might be a
new thing in dairy science. but II
would most certainly be the basis for
very interesting study. Such q com
pilatiOn would show US that certain
strains OF our COWS are responsible
for the poor udders and such strains
could be eliminated from the breeding
operations.
In the investigation, however, Of the
Udders we take into consideration
milk veins and milk wells, as being
parts Of the udder.
One man has said that after genera
tons Of study on the matter, The in
side Of the udder Of a COW is the dark

discourage the study Of the udder;
but it should remind US that We have
in the udder an object Of study that
requires the use Of all the knowledge
