THE ALAsKAN CONVENTION

The Alaskan convention that adjourn ed at Seattle yesterday has done well as well as a convention holding outside of the district could possibly do. It has proclaimed to the world at large that the people of this district want self government and it has chosen three men to go to Washington and tell the president and the national law makers that iact.
 The decision to have three instead of one delegate was 8 wise one. They will be more likely to stick by the platform adopted by those who elected them than one man would. It brings the delegation closer to the people to have one man on it from each section of the district.
 The selection of Gov. SwireiO,d to be one Of the delegates was admirable. He is spleudidly qualified for the posi- ton by virtue of his long residence in the district, by virtue of his integrity and singleness of purpose, by virtue Of his attachment the great fundamental principles of American government and coDdderce iu the capacity and patriotism of the Alaskan people, and by virtue of his wor'h and striking abilities.
 It would not be fair to close these words of appreciation without an acknowledgement Of the service rem dered in the convention by John C.. Price, formerly of Skagway, who has once again made the entire district his debtor.

corner of your stool and yelling, Get
over there, you old rip.'' may not be
understood literally by the COW, but
the impression you have left in her
head, as we'll as upon her hip, will not
make the COW fall all over herself"
as the boys say, to give you an extra
quantity of high quality milk.
The illustration shows one incorrect
position while milking. The mixer is
too far away from the COW, so that the
pail must be held at an angle, and if
the COW lifts her foot but a little it will
hit the pail, with the usual result The
mixer must pull hard and sideways
to get the milk into the pail, and you
can generally find considerable wasted
milk upon the outside of the pail, the
mixers trousers and on his boots

The Head Of the Herd.

1t is an old saying that the bull is
half the herd. Do we really believe it?
Plenty of men say, Professor Fraser
of Illinois will pay $500 or $500 for a
good registered COW, yet the owners
did not expect to pay more than 5000
for a sire to head this same herd
Does not that fact show that but few
men value the sire as highly as they
do the dam? Yet she has but one calf
a year, while he Is the sire Of many.
1t often takes statement like this to
show us what we really do believe.
Yet the most famous and successful
breeders have always been men who
paid their highest money for sires rath-
er than dams in nearly all breeds of do
nestle animals.-H0lstein- Friesian Reg

Crosses ON Beer Barrels.

Beer barrels are invariably marked
with a series of crosses, which nova
days denote the quality of the beer con-
tanned in the cask. These crosses were
originally put on by the monks, who
then made all the malt liquors, as a
sort of trademark The crosses were
not of the same shape as now shown,
but were more akin to the shape of a
crucifix and were intended to show
that by their oath sworn on the cross"
the beer supplied was OF fit and
drinkable condition.-London Times.

WATER IN THE BARN.
Great Convenience to the Dairy
man In Winter.


If you have water basins in the barn
once in two or three weeks the basins
should be thoroughly cleaned out. says
III. G. Manchester in Rural New York
er. More or less filth gets into them,
whether they are in the manger or
back of it, and if left too long you will
find upon examination that the water
smells bad and is not fit for the COWS
to drink. Plug up the entering hole
and wash out thoroughly; then dip out
all the water you can, and with a cloth
or sponge you can get it thoroughly
dry. We enjoyed seeing the COWS come
into the barn last summer and drink
deeply from the basins. When it is hot
they don't like to wander far in the
pasture for water, and without plenty
of water down goes the milk flow.
If you have not water in the barn
this is Il good time of the year to put it
in. Be sure it is protected so that it
will stand a low temperature next win
ter, as when it is the coolest and storm
lest is the time you want it the most.
If possible, have stream running
through the main pipe constantly, as
the water will be cleaner and fresher.
Use pipe that is large enough, 50 that
it will not easily clog and can be
flushed out. We think the one inch size
preferable. especially where a number
Of basins are on one line. Avoid all
crooks and turns possible.
1t is a good plan to have your own
tools to do this work and other repair
work of the kind. Two pipe wrenches,
cutter, wise and a set Of dies will
do. The wise and wrenches are handy
for Il great many things besides pipe
work and ought to be on every farm.

Gull the Herd.

A very great failing among dairy
men is the disposition so widely seen
to refuse to Gull out the herd says
HOard's Dairyman. Somehow every
farmer feels us if he could not afford
to reduce his herd by selling off the
Indifferent ones. The refuse corn and
vegetables will soon come in play, and
with them and the fall grass the poor
COW can be put in good market condi-
ton for the butcher We have known
men to sell off half of their herd and
make more net profit on the remaining
half than they did with the whole
herd

Remarkable Imnrovised Bridges.

Perhaps the most remarkable bridges

of which Cossack soldiers are expert

and cooking kettles. Seven or eight
lances are passed under the handels
of number of kettles and fastened
together by means of ropes to form

each of which will bear a weigh Of

Milk Veins Of n Good Cow

The milk veins found along the stom-
ach of the COW should be very tortuous.
They wind about on the belly and pass
into the body through orifices in the
rear Of the fore flank, says Hoard's
Dairyman. Their duty is to convey
the venous blood to the lungs for
publication. Hence the larger the
veins the better indication it is that
the circulation of the blood through the
udder is very large, and naturally the
larger the circulation of the blood the
greater will be the milk production.
because milk, after all, is really prod
uct Of the blood

Feeding the Dairy Cow

My experience in feeding milk COWS
for profit covers the time since 1901,
says Texas dairyman in Farm and
Ranch. I have obtained the best re-
suits from the following combination
Of feed for 800 pound COWS: Three and
half pounds of cottonseed meal, four
pounds Of wheat bran Tor it's equiva-
lent in nutritive value Of rice bran and
polish Or crushed corn, twenty pounds
Of cottOnseed bulls, with Bermuda
pasture in spring and summer and rye
Or Oat pasture in fall and winter. On
the above feed an 800 pound, COW
three-fourths Jersey produced twenty
five to twenty-eight pounds of milk
daily testing AZ per cent butter fat:
full Jersey about the same weight
produced thirty to thirty three pounds
of milk testing 4 per cent; other cows
of less weight and fed in the same
proportion produced from sixteen to
from 31a to 51a per cent fat. Taken
as whole. I have MIXED from eight
to twelve cows that produced little
more than 300 pounds of butter each
per annum.
Cotton Seed a Milk Feed.
In feeding cotton seed to milk herds
the only economical method of employ
ing more than three or four pounds
daily is to boil or steam the seed
Farm and Ranch.
When to Feed.
Feed cows grain just before milking
and fodder and hay afterward This
win keep the dust down till the milk
ing is done and still give the cow
something to make her contented and
to draw her attention from the process
Of milking.-Hoard's Dairyman
Barley Hay.
There is really but little known about
barley hay, says Hoards Dairyman
We should estimate 1t to be not quite
as valuable as Oat hay, but very de-
cided improvement on timothy hay for
feeding to milk cows. A mixture of
corn. oats and barley, equal parts by
weight, and feeding, say, an average
Of seven pounds per day, with one of
linseed oil meal added, would make a
very acceptable ration with barley hay
for roughage. Of course If, the prices
of these farm grown grains should be
excessive, as they sometimes are. one
could use almost any Of the ordinary
byproducts, such as brewers or dis
tillers' grains, bran, gluten feed. and
so forth.
Grain Fed Cows.
Grain fed cows on grass produced
an increase of 6 per cent of yield in
butter fat at the North Dakota ex-
pertinent station Cows on grain in
creased in weight more than did the
others. The station concludes, how
ever. that the increase was not sufi
cient to pay for grain fed.

Ripenin% the Cream.

Much of the trouble in the small
dairy comes from the difficulty of prop
erly ripening the cream. Irregular
ripening causes the loss in churning.
You can get more butter from properly
ripened cream and with less labor at
the churn.
