DAIRY CATTLE

The worlds fair committee of the
Holstein- Friesian Association OF Amer
lea is sending out an address to breed
ers and exhibitors of Holstein- Friesian
cattle relative to an especial effort to-
ward an exceptional display of that
breed at st. Louis next September.
The committee Is composed of six prom
inent breeders. with w. J. Gillett Of
Rosendale, Wis, as chairman.
The address makes the following ref
erence to the worlds fair prizes Of
fsred by the Holstein-F riesian associa-
tion:
"Public esteem and the merits OF the
Holstein- Friesian breed demand that a
most creditable show of our cattle be
present at this great exposition. Real
ixing the Importance of a representative
exhibit of Holstein- Friesians at st. Lou
II the Holstein-F riesian Association OF
America has offered special prizes for
exhibits of its cattle, which, together
with the regular prizes offered by the
exposition, make a sum to be competed
for In amount before offered at
any lNt btOck BLOW. IL VIII De seen
from the arrangement OF prizes offered
that the large and the small breeder
have an equal chance of winning
thing and that 1t would be hardly pos
mble for any herd Of ordinary merit to
show at st. Louis and win nothing.
Great things are expected Of us. and
the Holstein- Friesian association ap-
peals to Its breeders with an urgent re-
quest that the display Of u cattle
shall far surpass any previous exhibi-
ton"

OF TERROR ON
RiOTiNG FOLLOWS ASSAssINA.
TioN OF NoNUNIoN MINERS
IN COLORADO.

Denver, June IA reign of terror
brought on by a diabolical dynamiting
plot. followed by rioting and an as
sault upon the militia, exists In the
Cripple Creek mining district. Armed
men throng the streets and conflicts
are Of hourly occurrence. .Militiamen
are marching hither and thither. max
ing arrests by wholesale. A number
Of union miners have been placed In
the military bullpen and others are
being gathered In at frequent inter
walls. City and county officials have
been compelled to resign their Offices
because Of their reputed sympathy.
AS near as can be estimated fifteen
are dead and a score or more injured
as a result OF the events leading up to
the conditions above described.
Beginning with Monday morning
when an internal machine. set under
the station platform at Findley. on the
line of the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad, was touched OF and a
humber of nonunion men who were
waiting for a train were killed and
others horribly mangled, events fol.
lowed thick and fast. They culminat-
ed In a riot at a mass meeting where
bullets few and at least one was
killed and a number injured.
Militia and Miners Fight.
Later as a company of militia was
marching past union headquarters
pursuing their search for union miners,
they fred upon, according to re-
ports from armed men concealed in
union hall. The soldiers stormed the
building and from last accounts at
least four unionists were wounded.
The remainder fed precipitately. blood
streaming from the wounds OF the in
jured. The soldiers who were u N.
hurt pursued and arrested a number
Of the fleeing men and continued far
into the night to scour the country in
search Of men supposed TO have been
In union hall at The time OF the assault.
At the headquarters Of Adjutant
General Bell In this city everything Is
In readiness to promptly nee q call
for additional troops in the gold camp.
Mondays outburst had its inception
In the strike Of the members Of the
Western Federation of Miners some
thing ove q year ago. when 1000 men
quit work for the purpose, primarily,
Of enforcing an eight-hour day. This
action so incensed the mine owners
that they declared a war on unionism
and the breach has grown wider with
the passage of time. Much lawless-
ness has prevailed In the strike-ridden
district and ~unionists have been
brought to trial on numerous charges.
They . invariably acquitted. how.
ever.

the Dark, Says q Maine Man.
W. S. Keene, a successful dairyman
Of Palmyra, Me-, at the Maine Dairy
mems association told an interesting
story Of his experience in trying to es-
tablish his business by the haphasard
methods so commonly employed by
farmers. His experience will be Of val

who are trying the dairy business or
who contemplate engaging In II, says
the Chicago Record Herald. Mr.. Keena
said:
IL began nine years 49,; bought SIX
II the best common COWS I could nnd
I paid $50 apiece for them I worked
along and used scrub bulls and raised a
few calves for three years but I did
not get ahead any for the reason that I
had no means Of knowing what my
cows were doing. I mean by this that
I did not keep an account with each
SOW to see what she was doing.
six years ago I began to keep an &C
count with my COWS. / bought a set Of
scales and put them in the tie-up, and
from that time to the present every COW
has had to stand IN her own merits. l
bought me a registered Holstein ball
and began to raise my own COWS. To
day / have about forty COWS and heif-
ers, and last fall I won fifty ribbons at
the Bangor and Lewiston fairs My
standard when I began was $500 quarts
q year, and today my ~two-year-old heif-
ers are averaging 1000 quarts a year
and my mature lows about 5000 quarts.
Il am able to get $40 apiece for all
my grade heifer calves when a few
days old. My grade bull calves sell
readily for from s. to $40 at the same
age to feed for veal or raise for steers.
I have never sold any Of my registered
heifer calves because l am getting my
whole herd into registered stock, but
my Thoroughbred bull calves sell at $50
to $40 yhsn dsspped, and l sold one at
five months old Ser $50.

I produce milk for a factory at New
port. They buy milk by the pound,

buy about once a week. and they report
that my milk tests on an average Of
about 4 per cent, and that, they say, is
