The Thrifty Ayrshire Cattle.

This breed of Scotch dairy cattle
originated under the rugged conditions
Of Ayrshire, and in their type and gen.
eral characteristics they exemplify the
form and quality which would be
called for in a dairy animal required
to make the most economical use Of
it's food and do the best under condi-
tons too severe for finer and more
delicate cattle, says American Cultiva-
tor.
The head is slim, rather long in the
face and surmounted with q horn not
wholly devoid of strength. The neck,
somewhat short, is clean cut, though
not delicate. The shoulder is sharp and
the chest full and deep. The body is
straight in its top lines, slightly more
compact than usually found in the
dairy type, but has the volume which
invariably results in large capacity for
consumption and production. The hind
quarter is moderately wide and covered
with flesh, while the thigh is thin and
the udder long and excellent in it's pro-
portion. The size and the placing of
the teats are features which call for
careful attention in ranking represent
atives of this breed

GondOlas of Venice.

A tourist writes: Like most char.
acteristic objects appertaining to Ven"
ice, the gondola is suitable to the place.
Even as the hanson cab suits London
or the rickshaw suits Japan Or the
jaunting car suits Ireland, SO the gon-
dola is the vessel for Venice. You cam
not separate the lagoon from the gon-
dola. One completes the other" The
gOndolier is a man given to many Oaths
and imprecations, of which the most
terrible is, ''Thy saint is a rascal who
does not know how to make a decent
miracle" The gondoliers are not as
much given as they used to be to the
singing of the sonorous verses Of Tasso
by moonlight in their musical patois.
Occasionally an outburst of melody
is secured by a travellers coins, and
there are always singing, playing and
dancing at the inevitable fiesta.

Ringing Bells to Swarm Bees.

It is foolish notion to suppose that
the ringing of bells or hanging" Of tin
pans will cause a swarm of bees to
settle, says Country Life In America.
The real origin of this custom dates
back to the reign Of Alfred the Great,
who, in order to prevent disputes re-
garding the ownership of q swarm, Or
dered that the owner should always ring
q bell when his bees swarmed, and ever
since then the good farmers wife has
been rushing out with ringing bells
whenever the bees swarmed, and the
fact that they settled verified, in her
own mind, the belief that the bell did it,

The general idea of an antelope pic
lures it as a swift runner, fleeing in
graceful bounds over stretching brown
plains. There is an antelope in the
Congo region, however, which rarely
ventures to the upland, but actually
lives in water, spending practically all
Of its time wading around in the
swamps and feeding on swamp growth
such as papyrus and other water
plants.
This swamp antelope represents
among animals what the heron and
other wading birds do among birds,
and like these wading birds the swamp
antelope has extraordinarily long and
thin legs, while it's hoofs are wonder
fully long and spread out almost as
wide as birds claws when the animals
wade in the mud, thus supporting them
on the soft bottom.
These swamp antelOpes are by no
means small animals, but belong to the
larger forms of their species. A full
grown male is as big as the buck of the
falloW deer in Virginia.

ACIDITY OF CREAM.
II Develops Bad Flavor When Allow
ed to Get Too Sour.

The best acidity for cream ready to
churn is between five and six tenthS
Of / per cent. If the cream is thin, it
may run somewhat above this; but
as rule, it is pest to churn the cream
little before it develops six-tenthS
Of 1 per cent acid says e. ii. Earring
ton of the Wisconsin Dairy school in
American Agriculturist. Cream ought
not to stand very long after it has
reached siX-tenths per cent acid, be
cause. although the acidity will not in
crease very much. bad favors may de-
velop in such sour cream. At some
factories cream often comes in during
the afternoon with an acidity Of six
tenths per cent, and such cream ought
to be cooled at once and churned as
soon as possible after it has become
cold.
I am acquainted with a gathered
cream factory where the cream comes
in in the afternoon, and it is very sour
during the summer months, nearly al
ways having at least siX-tenths per
cent acid when. it arrives. 1t is all in
by about 6 D. M, and the buttermaker
adds large pieces of ice to the cream
in the vat, stirs for nearly two hours,
then puts the cream in the churn
and does not get through making the
butter until II o'clock at night Both
he and the proprietor Of the factory
have found that by this practice they
are able to save many of the losses on
the butter that they had to stand be-
fore adopting this method. 1t seems
that sour cream deteriorates very rap
idly and that it ought to be churned as
soon as the souring process has reached
six-tenths of 1 per cent acid.

Dried Blood For Calves.

With the seventy head of young
calves under experiment at the Kansas
station during the past year there has
not been a single case of scours that
dried blood has failed to check. In
feeding dried blood teaspoonful at
a feed is great plenty. This may be
gradually increased to tablespoonful
ut feed. To prevent the dried blood
from settling to the bottom of the pail,
where the calf will be unable to get 1t,
It may be stirred In the milk while the
calf is drinking, or the milk and blood
may be fed Immediately after being
thoroughly mixed.

Separator Advantages.

A good cream separator costs from
$65 to 500. The loss from setting
milk in pans is said to be 20 per cent
of the butter fat If COW will make
200 pounds of butter a year, this
would be q loss of forty pounds a
year, worth at least So. This loss
could be avoided if separator were
used. The separator also saves an i'm
mense amount of labor in caring for
the milk, and this showing alone proves
that it is good investment, even
where but four or five cows are kept.

Force of Habit.

Speaking of force of habit, some
years ago there was an iron railing
around the capitol grounds at Wash
ington. The appropriation bill provided
for Waterman to close and lock the
gates every night at certain hour and
morning. In the course of time the
railing or fence was removed, but the
gates swung between their Egyptian
pillars for long time, and all that
time the Waterman came and went
regularly, closing and opening the
gates according to law and drawing his
salary.

Clean the MILK Can.

There are very few things around
the farm that should come before a
clean milk can. If the can is allowed
to stand with sour milk or whey it be-
comes so infected that the usual wash
ing has but little effect owing to the
thin film of casein that forms on the
tin and affords a constant daily supply
of bacteria.

back of a we'll developed dairy COW.
The hips are wide apart, the pelvis
prominent, as is the backbone. Shout
ders higher than in the rear of them.
Note she is thin just back of the Shout
ders, so that you could easily lay your
hand in the hollow. We like to see this
sign, as it indicates her food goes to
milk. AS you stand behind this cow
you notice her wedge shape, deep bar
rel, small neck and we'll shaped head.

The churn can be held accountable
for bad favor in more than a little
creamery and dairy butter says L. ".
Lightly in National Stockman. It is
not an easy matter to keep the churn
sweet and clean, as every farmers wife
who does SO knows, especially if she
uses the old paddle or dash churn or
possibly one of those newfangled con-
traptions with unwashable wheels and
filings on the inside.
A plain box or barrel churn is used
in nearly all creameries and should be
used in all dairies where butter is
made. The churning is done by con-
cussion, the cream being thrown from
end to end Or from side to side, and
there being no place for the cream to
lodge or stick all the cream is handled,
and the churning is most exhaustive.
Besides, this form of churn is most
convenient to remove the butter and
buttermilk and comparatively easy to
keep clean if proper methods are used.
To begin with, the churn should be
made Of we'll seasoned white oak, per-
fectly smooth on the inside. Just as
soon as it begins to decay throw 1t
away and buy new one; saving here
does not pay. To keep the churn sweet
and clean do the washing as soon as
the butter and buttermilk are re-
moved. First rinse thoroughly with
cold water, then wash completely with
hot water, using good stiff, long
bristle brush with bristles in one end
drain out and brush all the hooks and
inside surface with fine salt, then rinse
again with boiling hot water remem-
Der that is 212 degrees). A steam bath
with the last rinsing is ideal if you
have steam. Now drain and turn the
opening of the churn downward so no
germ laden dust may settle in and
spoil the next churning.
The churn should be well aired and
dried before the cover is replaced Be-
fore you put the next batch of cream
into the churn have your smeller in
good order and test the odOr of the
churn, and if it is not sweet and pleas
ant do not put a drop Of cream in until
it does smell right

Corn silage is very palatable. All

SILAGE AND THE SILO

: Roots are good succulent feed, but
when we come to compare them with
silage they are not in it, says L. w.
Lightly in National Stockman. A ton
of sugar beets furnishes 27O pounds
Of dry matter, ton of mangels 1872
pounds and a ton of good silage at
least 4S0 pounds, and from my ex
perience land some other growers re-
port the same) can grow and harvest
three tons of corn silage with the same
work and cost that it requires to grow
and harvest one ton of roots.
In the feeding experiments made at
the Ohio and Maine experiment sta
tons it was found that the feeding
value of the dry matter of roots and
silage was nearly the same, but what
difference existed was nearly always
in favor Of the silage. Now, how do
we stand? 1t takes two acres Of roots
to grow as much feed as one acre Of
corn, and it costs three times as much
to grow and harvest it; therefore a ton
of root feed will cost about six times
as much as a ton of SilaCe feed.

FOR JOHN A. JOHNSON
Candidate Will Carry County That

John Nugent, the veteran sheriff of
Wright county. has decided to become
an independent candidate for his old
berth, and the result will be a fight
that will bring out full vote in that
county.
Nugent was sheriff of Wright county
for nearly twenty years, always being
elected either as a Democrat or an in
dependent in a strongly Republican
county. He has been out of Office for
some years, but kept his hand in prac-
tiee by helping to swing his county
into the Dunn column in the pre-con-
vention gubernatorial campaign. He
win dispute for the shrievalty with d.
F. Grant, of Buffalo, who captured the
Republican nomination in the prima-

One of the Democratic nominees who
is practically assured of reelection
is John b. Irvine, county surveyor Mr.
Irvine was one of the four Democrats.
elected two years ago and he is con-
ceded to be even stronger now than in
the election of 1902. A son of one of
the old-time families of st. Paul-his
father made a homestead of what is
Irvine Park in 184S-he was reared and
educated in the city schools of st.
Paul In 1885 he entered the city en-
gineers office and for approximately
fifteen years served in that department.
During the greater part of the time
he was engaged in construction and
field work in the department, and the
experience was valuable in that it gave
him the knowledge of realty conditions,
so necessary in county surveyor.
While working under board of
county commissioners of an opposite
political faith than himself, he has sue
ceeded in convincing the county COM
missioners of his ability and integrity
until today Mr.. Irvine has no warmer
friends than the Republican county
commissioners of Ramsey county.
Mr.. Irvine is member of the st.
Paul Commercial club, has membership
in several of the fraternal organiza-
lions of the city, and is popular per-
sonally. He is a resident of sthe
Seventh ward and always polls a heavy
vote in this Republican stronghold. His
friends are confident that he will be
reelected, as he has defeated men in
previous campaign stronger than his
opponent in this campaign. His
strength with members of his own
party was shown when he received the
Democratic nomination in the recent
primaries by about 5000 votes. Every
thing points to the reelection of John
B. Irvine as county surveyor.
