/ have made a close study of dairy
problems during the last fifteen or
twenty years, and l think l have
others should profit, writes a South
Dakota farmer in Iowa Homestead. I
refer especially to the matter of excit-
ing the dairy COW In the first place, I
have no use for a dog around a dairy
farm. One that is properly trained and
may often be useful without being
harmful, but where there are a num-
Der of individuals looking after the
cows l think the dog should be dis
pensed with.
l have many times noticed a falling
off of fully one-half in the quantity Of
milk given by my cows after they
have been given a chase by the dog,
while | have in mind a few eases
where cows under normal conditions
gave six quarts at a milking would not
give a pint after being chased by a
dog. Now, a repetition of this expert
ence for a few times may occur even
after a lactation period of only three
or four months.
We have seen an instance
where Furnishing the dairy cows be-
cause they made a mistake did any
good, and the milk stool used as a
cudgel has been responsible in the past
for drying up as many cows as any
other factor which we know anything
about. The man who does not know
better than to kick or pound a COW
has no business on a dairy farm, his
place being in a mule barn. where les
sons in discipline are given alike by
the master and by the animal.
Beef or Milk.
Is there more profit in beef hat we
should reduce our milk flow? l know
Of no figure to prove such. l was great
" interested in the comparative profits
as given by Wisconsin farmers a few
years ago., which were invariably On
the dairy side. Where milking is a Sc
rious objection there may be some de
Oatable ground. There is no doubt that
where poor dairy cows are kept up to
date beef production would be more
satisfactory, but a poor dairy COW
feeder would rarely evolve himself into
a successful beef feeder at a single
turn Of the crank. In fact, it is only
the educated liberal feeder who could
for one moment expect to produce
prime beef even upon the best of beef
form. And it has never been contendea
that there was profit in poorly bred
beef stock half fed.-Rural New York.

welded TO A A S
Singular Marriage Ceremony That
Was Witnessed In China.

One of the most extraordinary of
Chinese customs to western minds is
the not ~infrequent practice of marry
ing celebrated widows to native vases.
An American traveller witnessed such
q ceremony, which WIS performed with
great pomp. The widow was of high
station. When the news of her hus-
bands death reached her she was in
consolable and wished to enter the
state of w~idowhood. but her father de-
INJURED. Somebody suggested that an
other husband might be forthcoming,
and, as may readily be surmised, at
this stage of the proceedings the wom-
an was in despair. 4 wise teacher Of
the C%onfucian philosophy was consult
ed, and he recalled to mind the ancient
ceremony Of marriage to a flower vase.
It was q rite Of great antiquity, leg
end attributing its origin to an empress
who ruled before the Christian era. 1t
was decided that the woman might
marry the red vase" 1t was neces-
sary, however, to procure the imperial
sanction. This the great wealth Of
her father obtained, and on May ! the
wedding was solemnized.
In the procession the vase was car
ried under a silken canopy on a palan-
Quin borne by youths OF noble birth,
while the bride followed In another pa
lanquin guarded by twelve maidens
and twelve matrons. A military guard
and a civic escort made up the parade.
Her bridegroom, the vase. Is a speci-
men of great value and antiquity; in
deed it is said to excel in delicacy of
ornamentation anything of it's kind In
the FloWery Kingdom.

Go home at a reasonable hour in the

There has been quite q scarcity OF

Wheat !!

Two hundred miles west, on
the new branch of the Milwau-
kee road, is a small territory
that escaped the ravages of
rust. The wheat raised there
was a fine crop of Number One
testing 574 lbs. per bushel.
We have shipped IN several
carloads of this choice wheat,
at great expense, and are
grinding same for our local
trade, being determined to
keep our VALLEY QUEEN
brand up to the highest stand
ard. This high-grade wheat
gives our -four a high quality
that is superior to any -four
that comes on this market.
"Just-as-good' -four does not
equal VALLEY QUEEN
the right kind of wheat don't
go into it.
When you buy -four, insist
on our brand, it costs no more

The solitary form of woman, who

might have been seen stalking back
and forth on the walk near Second

other night, some time after 10 o'clock.
Had you watched her, as someone did,
you would have seen that she was par
ticularly interested in the Bridge line
cars as they approached from the di-
rection of the bridge. And as one of
them stopped, and man and woman
alighted, if you were a student of hui
man nature you would have known
that the object of her searching eye
had at last been found
You would have been sure of it if
you had seen her walk up to the cou-

made up and is making no noise about
it.

cast a result, although nothing has de-

indicate that he will not be first in the
race.

An unpleasant incident of the day,
the first piece of small work on the
part of the McCaskrin followers so far
as the democratic ticket is concerned
developed this morning in the appear
ance of a number of flaming pos
ters at the various polling places de
signed to boost McCaskrin. one OF
which bore the inscription: "A vote
for Cavanaugh is a vote for Knox"
AS soon as Mr.. Cavanaugh heard OF
this, in company with Chairman
Wright, of the democratic city COM
mittee, he drove over the city and tore
down every such poster, and instruct
ed his poll workers to remove any fur
Their ones should they be posted. Mr..
Cavanaugh regarded this political
trick as a Misrepresentation of facts
coupled with his name that he was
not obliged to tolerate.

campaigns close was the denial evil
