Reunion Date is An
nounCed.

The Southwest Kansas Veterans
association will hold it's annual re-
union at Dodge City the first week
in August this year.
President Sweeney has written ].
A. Arment to announce that date
and the old soldiers of western Kan
sas will be notified as soon as pos
sible, that they may set apart that
week for the big meeting at Dodge
City.
The reunion this year will be the
greatest meeting yet held here.
The association has been gathering
strength and the meeting has been
increasing in popularity every year.
This year being presidential cam
paign year as well as state, there
will be an unusual attendance at the
reunion from out the district. Last
year the reunion drew an attendance
of veterans from as far east as Sedg-
wick and Harvey counties and this
year there will be veterans from
much further east. All of the can
didates on the state tickets will
probably be here.
y The management of the reunion
will make the most of the opportu-
nifty to have great meeting this
year and will secure the best speak
ers and other attractions to draw
crowds from a distance.
A general order for the dates OF
the reunion will be issued about the
first of April and active preparation
for the meeting will then be started.

Want No Side Issue.

The General Strong Post No. 81
of Jetmore has forwarded to Presi-
dent Sweeney of the Southwest Vet
erans association, copy of the
resolutions regarding the coming re-
union, passed by them recently.
The resolution is: "Resolved that
We recommend that the reunion to
be held at Dodge City, Kansas, be
separate and apart from any fair OF
other side issue held at Nthe same
date"
As the fair here is dated three
weeks later than the reunion, the
two dates can in no way coafict.

STREET FAIR ASSURED.
A Large Sum Being Raised for
First Class Attractions

A, number of the business men OF
the city met at the Gottschalk, on
Wednesday afternoon to consider the
proposition of having a street fair this
fall. c. A. Howard acted as chairman
of the meeting, and R. f. McGlachlin,
Secretary. It was concluded that a
street fair and absolutely free show
should be held, if means could be
raised to pay expenses and secure at
fractions. 1t was generally agreed
that it would be necessary to raise
about $2500 for this purpose, and on
motion the chairman appointed COM
mittee Of nine to canvass, the business
men and ascertainif they wanted the
fair bad enough to put up the money
II they do it goes, otherwise it will be
dropped promptly. Al
The committee of nine appointed
is really three committees, consisting
of three members each. Three mer-
chants, w. q. Wells, S. w. Huntington
and G. J. Hezel; three hotel men, A..

was considerable, since in the first
case there was IS per cent of the total
yield, and in the second As per cent.
The method of milking has
therefore a great influence upon
the quantity of the milk
and this influence is not explainable
unless we grant that it bears some re-
lation to the excitation produced.
On the other hand, the milk obtained,
at the beginning of the operation is not
so rich as that obtained at the enl.
Up to the present. this fact has been
explained by the statement that a
prolonged operation ends by detach-
ing from the lactiferous vessels the
particles of butter adhering to the
walls. M. Lepoutre is not of this opin-
ion, and marks that the operation
is performed more vigorously at the
end than at the beginning. The ex-
citation must therefore be stronger,
and the reflex action be greater upon
the mammalary tissues, thus causing
a lactiferous secretion richer in fat.
The experiments OF Prof. Roquet's
assistant tend to condemn all milking
machines, especially those based upon
the use Of centrifugal pump. Up TO
the present it has been thought that
the superiority Of hand milking is
shown only by the quantity of milk
obtained; but now it is necessary TO
add the superiority from the viewpoint
of richness in fatty matters Sci

PA|L|NG COWS Phys
Science ThoVs New Light on a
Common place Performance
The Lacteal Ducts Heretofore
Improperly Massaged

The Scientific American for
5/August contains an article, mostly
reproduced below, which shows that
even the process Of milking the COW
may be done according to scientific
principles. Every crop failure en-
phasizes the importance of the COW,
and it is proper that the scientist
should give her attention
M. Lepoutre, agricultural engineer
and assistant to M. Roquet, professor
of zootechny and animal physiology
at the Agricultural Institute of Bel
GUM. has just made series of inter-
esting and careful experiments at the
laboratory of zootechny and hygiene Of
the said institute for the purpose OF de-
termining the influence exerted by
milking upon the quantity Of milk,
upon it's composition, and particularly
upon the proportion Of it's fatty mate
rials.
Broadly considered, the operation Of
milking is a rational massage that has,
the effect of drawing from the udder
a quantity of milk much greater than
that which is contained at the outset.
1t is admitted that the udder OF a good
COW may, before the operation, contain
quarts of milk already formed, while,
il the animal is we'll treated, the udder
may yield from 10 to Is quarts. 1t fol-
loTs, besides, from the experiments
81 M. Lepoutre, that milking exerts a
;/great influence upon the proportion
of the FATTY materials contained in the
fluid. This influence is due, according
to the experimenter to the peripheric
excitation of the nerves of secretion,
which in their turn, by reflex action.
bring about a greater excitation of the
glaad,aIAr cells. II We consider the
general case Of milking from two teats
Il at once, as usual, we find that the ef-
feet produced is not the same during
the entire period of the milking The
milk extracted from the first two teats
is generally richer in fat than that
of the two milked in the last place,
and this richness will be greater If we
simultaneously milk the two teats1
of one side, than if we simultaneously
milk one teat of one side and one of
the other, and then the two remaining
ones-in other words, il we do the
milking diagonally instead of later
ally. The phenomenon is singular,
it not obscure Itaseems, however, ex-
plainable by the fact that in diagonal
milking the eScitation extends to all
Of the nerves of the gland, while in lat
eral milking it extends only to the side
on which the operation is performed,
and is consequently stronger. At all
eYents, the influence of milking upon
proportion of fat is sh .wn by the
Following experiment of M. Lepoutre.
The same COW was n1ilked several
times and simult ultaneously by two diff
ferent persons, who at each operation
changed sides. The milk Of each sidsy
was COLLECTED separately One Of the
persons performed the operation by
eSerting q Simple alternating pressure
upon the teat,s while the other per-
formed q downward massage at the
same time. The milk collected by the
latter person was always markedly
richer in fatty matter than that col.
lested By the former. The difference
