The Students Explanation.

A notably amusing answer was CIV
en- by student in the natural philoso-
ply class at Edinburgh university.
Professor TAFT had given as one OF
the questions In an examination pa
per, Decline transparent, translucent
and Opaque" which was dealt with by
the student thus: II cannot precisely
define these terms, but | can indicate
their meaning In this way: The win
dows OF this classroom were once
transparent, they are now translucent
and II not cleaned very soon will be
Opaque"
The answer gained full marks from
the amused professor. - Westminster

Mr.. Carruthers expects TO have
another shipment of several car
loads here. After marketing all
his muttons this spring and sum
mer, Mr., Carruthers expects TO
have left about $1,000 sheep and
lambs.
Speaking of the lamb crop Mr..
Carruthers said: MANY sheep
men are estimating that it will be
fully $50. which is certainly a
big crop, and one that has not
been equaled for many years in
that country. The lamb crop is
not only a good one but we are
able TO take care Of our lambs
and sheep, as we have an abun.
dance of grass all over that
country. The sheep wintered
well, and the ewes are in good
condition TO raise these lambs,
which is another point in favor
of the sheepman. There have
been springs when the lamb crop
was a fairly good one, but there
was no feed for the sheep and
there were losses afterwards. The
spring shearing is now being
wound up, and the prices of wool
range from 20 to 22c n pound,
which is the highest price We
have ever received. If the price
iustifes there will be "A big run OF
sheep from that country, and
they will be brought to market
fat and in the best of condition,
but if the prices decline too much
the sheepmen will turn them back
and keep them, as they have
plenty Of feed, and with the price
of wool high they can afford tc
hold them"

Dairy Notes.

The farmer who "hates milk
ing" will never make a successful
dairyman.
The COW should be MIXED as
rapidly as possible, as slow milk
ing irritates her and spells her
temper.
Feed that is calculated to limit
the milk should not be fed before
milking. Give it afterwards.
The natural grain of the butter
is destroyed by overworking and
the result is n greasy product.
Don't over work the butter.
Before they freshen, small
potatoes can be proftably fed to
the COWS.
The teats of u good diary COW
are all set apart and are of good
size. A short. small-teated COW
is u nuisance to milk.
A COW giving milk should have
water at least twice a day, or bet
ter still, have water where she can
get it any time she wants it.
Pumpkins are relished by cows
and if fed with other rations they
will Increase the milk flow.
When fine dirt once gets into
milk it is impossible to strain it
out. The best plan is to never
let it get in.
Sometimes when the butter
comes it will not gather readily.
This is an indication that the
milk is too cold and a little warm
water, but not too warm, should
be added.
Feed oil meal only in combina-
tion with coarser grains. Alone
it is too concentrated feed for
the dairy COW.
If properly protected and
promptly cooled down to a tenn.
perature of 40 degrees, freshly
drawn milk will remain sweet 3G
to As hours without any special
treatment.

Kansas City, Mo-, Thursday,
May Is, 1005.-The main feature
of the Quarantine market this
week is the willingness of buyers
to take the cheaper grades of cat
tie at relatively strong prices,
while the best heavy fed steers re-
main barely steady. They say
there is u better outlet for cheap
meat than for the high priced
stuff, and another thing, a COM
paratlvely small proportion of
the total receipts of cattle Just
now is as low as medium grade,
and an extra large percentage is
good, Buyers take hold of Texas
grass steers readily, and pay no
attention to anything else when
they see chance to get some of
them. Kansas City packers pur-
chased sixty loads of steers at FIT.
Worth last week, and about as
many this week, for slaughter
here, account of the shortage of
this class of cattle here, 2G out of
40 loads in Quarantine here today

any better quality at this season.
The market is a quarter higher

San Angelo Dipping Vat.

Dellorned Calves.

Now that we can dip our calves
and other cattle to ship at any
time, our market for feeders, of
all sorts will be increased. Feed
ers very much prefer dehorned
animals, and if cattle raisers will
dehorn their calves when young
it will add greatly to their value.
The best way to dehorn is to have
Z inch or 7 inch iron rods round
ed out / inch deep in the end, 50
rs to make n shallow socket, heat
the rods and set them on the
horn button when the calves are
young, to burn out the button.
In that way the calves will appear
as if natural muleys, and 1t will
net hurt them at all. The follow
letter just received will show the
necessity for dehorning in order
to supply the demand.

II, 1000. b. Metcalfe, San
Angelo, Texas. Dear Sir:-I
want to handle from 2O00 to 1000
Hereford steer calves the coming
fall and desire to locate them
with parties who would be willing
to dehorn the calves when they
are handled in the spring. The
operation can be performed then
without much, if any, injury to
the calves, but it is impossible to
dehorn them after a 1900 mile
shipment, when they are expected
TO be put on immediate full feed
without great injury to them,
and for this reason have determ-
med not to buy any more calves
unless they we're dehorned on the
range. Do you expect to dehorn
your steer calves as you handle
them? If 80, should be glad to
have a letter from you to that eff.

with you this fall.

COW kicking over a lamp in u

1t is related that the illustrious
general, Robert +. Lee, once said
by way of advice TO his boys: eff

house and keep out of debt.

Lady Henry Somerset, writing
about the landmarks of London,
says the last TO 90 is the remains
of the old Milk Fair in St. James
Park. Beyond the memory Of man
two little stalls have stood, by
royal privilege, under the trees at
the end of the broad walk which
leads to Buckingham Palace.
There four cows and two old
women, backed by direct privil-
ege granted Ey the crown nearly
300 years ago, carried on their
trade of milk sellers, and the
two last women are the lineal de-
scendants of the same people who
carried on the same business
when Charles ii. was king. The
spot in the merry monarch's time
was visited by the cavaliers and
ladies to drink asses and cows
milk, and poets have sung of the
milk dispensed there. AS the
approach of Buckingham Palace
is to be bordered with trees, the
stalls had to go, Notwithstanding
their historic interest.

How TO Ward Off Old Age.

The most successful way of warding
off the approach of old age is to main
tain a vigorous digestion. This can
be done by eating only food suited to
your age and occupation, and when
any disorder of the stomach appears
take dose of Chamberlain stomach
and liver tablets to correct it. If you
have weak stomach or are troubled
with Indigestion, you will find these
tablets to be just what you need. For
sale by all druggists.

Arrangements are being made

Arrangements are being made
by the local Santa Fe Office for
the shipment of fat beef cattle
from this point in June. The
movement is expected to begin
about June 1 and will probably
be the largest shipment of fat
cattle ever made from San Ange-
10. The good conditions of the
range during all the spring has
had the effect of keeping cattle
here and the shipment here refer
red to will be Of finished stuff
ready for the slaughter house.
1t is needless to add that this
movement will add quantity OF
money to the amount already in
circulation and that this means
increased business for all con,
cerned.

unqualifi d succeas. We had just is
shippers here by actual count, and
competition was sharp. We sold all
classes of horses from a $40 plug to a
5000 horse. We also sold weanlings
and yearling colts, all for the spot
cash; If you have anything at all in
the horse line you want to turn into
money, bring it in for the next sale.
Prices are apt to drop off a little in
November and December, and If you
have a horse or colt to sell, I believe
It will bring more money in October
than 1t will bring any time later I'M
til the first of the year. We want 200
horses. mules and colts for Oct. 10.
Parties in this and the adjoining
counties who prefer to sell at private
sale, should write us at once, giving
accurate description, including weight,
age, ETC., and always name the price,
and we will come and see them.
