IT Paws to Milk Carefully.

1t is not fair to sit down to a COW
and pull her and haul her until she
steps around in the stall and acts as
if she were being shamefully hurt,
says Farm Journal Sometimes a COW
will stop eating and wait until the or
deal is over before she will resume
operations in that line. The cow that
does that is not comfortable. Uncom-
Portable COWS do not do their best for
their masters.
Other men have way Of milking
that so pleases the cow that she clearly
shows that she enjoys the process.
These are the men after whom we
should pattern.
Watching them, we see that they new
er yell nor strike nor otherwise mis-
treat their COWS. They sit down quiet
~, take hold of the cows teats gently,
no matter in how much hurry they
may be, and begin to draw the milk
without pressing too hard, for they
know that they are touching her at her
tender point. Then they keep steadily
at it until the last drop is out.
1t pays to milk carefully. The cows
will give more; the milk will be richer
for it. Then go about it as If you had
something at stake and not as IL it
was a job that you hated and that
would bring nothing back and that
must be done at q now-or-never rate of

SiIage For Milk.

1t is generally admitted that the silo
is a good thing in the dairy, says an
Ohio farmer in National Stockman. In
the dairy section of Ohio it has found a
place on most dairy farms and is con-
sidered Indispensable, especially for
winter milk. 1t is our practice to feed
silage the year round, excepting per-
haps a couple of months in the early
summer when the pasture is at its best,
and we have come to value it nearly If
not quite as highly to supplement sum-
mer pastures as for the winter ration.

Windgalls are very common on the

rarely produce lameness. In such cases
the lameness is not due to stiffness,
but to a thickening of the walls Of the

ounce of lard. Rub on little with the
fingers; let it remain twentyfour

Remedy for Failure of Prohibition
Says Funston.

says Funston.
Chanute, Kan, Aug. 9.-The Trib-
une says:
Repeal the prohibitory law? No,
say, neVeri" exclaimed l.. H. Funston
in his address on Law Enforcement
at Williams opera house, and his
auditors applauded him as he thumb
cred forth his declaration.
What are we to do then? Why,
enforce it. Don't be afraid. They tell
US that it can't be enforced. Let US
see about that. Why is it that it can't
be enforced? I will tell you. Because
1t has fallen into the hands OF men
who do not want to enforce it.
When the people are aroused
when they stand forth and demand
that the Violators of the prohibitory
law be punished and the officers no
longer dare to withstand the demand
for fear that they will not be re-elect-
ed, what happens then? Are the
jointkeepers, when they are convicted,
treated like common criminals-like
those who are Imprisoned for violating
other laws of the state? No. They
are treated as guests of the county.
up in lola they are allowed to take
electric fans into their cells, to have
dinners furnished them, and to have
liquors there on ice. and even have
been set at liberty for few hours that
they may go home and take dinner
with their families.
do you wonder that we are dis
satisfied Will our w Z dIS 0C-
termined to follow those devils until
we drive tn emOut. Any law is INSULT
cient when it is in such hands.
Il would not have you think that
the entire population of lola is made
up of such men as l have been de-
scribing. We have many noble people
there-men and women who are work.
ing earnestly for the right But they
are in the minority-or they think they
are, which amounts to the same thing.
7 think that if thew would TRallV stop
to count the joint men and their
friends they would find that there are
not so many of them as they think.
Then, again, the liquor crowd is
made up of towards. Why, it took one
hundred of them to arrest me and then
they had to tie rope around me and
drag me off like a common criminal,
and the rotten smell of beer and
whisky on their breath was enough to
make a decent man sick at the
stomach.
what is the remedy? Well, 1 will
tell you what I think it is. 1 believe
that we should give the women the
ballot at state elections. I am a re-
cent convert to this idea. / believe
that if it were carried out, it would
succeed in recruiting the ranks of law
and order with a host of voters which
would make up for it an overwhelm-
ing majority. Then again, 1 believe
that when a man is convicted of viO-
lating the prohibitory law, he SHOULD
be disfranchised. If man is convict
ed a number of times. he should be
sent to the state penitentiary for a
term of from one to eleven years.

LOCATES HER MOTHER.
Story of Mrs. Rosetta Turner Reads
Like = Book.


Like = Book.
Leavenworth, Kan, Aug 9.-The
Times says:
When Mrs. Marie Ellis answered a
ring of her door bell on Sunday after
noon she little thought that it was her
23-year-old daughter, whom she had not
seen for 20 years, who had rung the bell.
Going to the door of her little cottage
at No. 207 Miami street she met two
people whom she did not think she had
ever seen before.
DO you know us?" asked the man.
No, I do not think I do" Mrs. Ellis
replied, wondering who her visitors
were.
I am your daughter" said the girl,
and then the two went in the house,
and mutual explanation followed.
Twenty-three years ago. June 81, 1882,
there was born to Mrs. Ellis, then Mrs.
King, child, who, at the age of three
years, was placed in the Kansas Or
phanS' home, an institution existing
where the LeaVenworth hospital now is.
Almost a year after Mrs. Ellis put her
child in the asylum, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bigonier came here from Emporia and
being struck with the beauty of the
child adopted it on June %, 1886.
They raised the girl, to whom had
been given the name of Rosetta Gray,
and the fact that she was foster child
was never made known to her. From
that point the story is best told in the
words of Mrs. Ellis who was seen last
night at her home.
Last spring I got to thinking about
my child, my little baby" she said
land 1 went out in south LeaVenworth,
to the woman who has the records of
the asylum, and asked her where my
girl was. She looked it up in her books
and told me that she had been adopted
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bigonier in Emporia.
Then she wrote them for me, and final
ly we got a letter from one of their
neighbors. Mrs. Bigonier had died, Mr.
Bigonier had married and moved away,
and my girl was married to a man
named Turner, and had moved to Nc
Pherson. Then we wrote Rosetta and
she said that that was the first she
knew that she was not the daughter Of
the Bigoniers. Only yesterday she said:
What will papa say when I tell him
have found out 1 am not his daugh-
ter?''

ROCK ISLAND DAM COMPLETED.
Has Caused the Forming of Large
Lake at Peabody


Wichita, Kas., Aug. 9.-The re-
pairs on the big dam which the Rock
Island built a year ago at Peabody
are practically completed. The dam
ages done to the dam were caused by
last years flood. The dam has been
made as strong as possible, it being
made twice as thick and the water
front has been riprapped.
The lake is about mile above
Peabody alongside the Rock Island
tracks, the lake being made by build
ing stout dam across a large draw.
When the lake is full it is at least
half mile long.
In order to be rid of the expense
of running steam engine to pump
the water for the engines, the Rock
Island company built this dam. II
also saves the expense of making the
water soft, it taking a long and ex-
pensive process to do so. A 6-inch
water pipe runs from the north end
of the lake along the Rock Island
tracks to Peabody, where it is run
into the common water tank. AL
though the exact cost of the dam
could not be learned, it is said the
Rock Island company will build such
lakes wherever it is possible to make
it pay.
The lake is not only beneficial to
the railroad company, but it is a boon
to the Peabody people. Some Pea
body people have leased the lake and
are going to build club house and
probably a boat house. Shade trees
will be set out, making it an excellent
place for bathing and picnics.
