DAIRY SANITATION.

We feel that it is always in order to
say a word about sanitation in the
dairy business. the imperative neces-
sity of cleanliness in all that pertains
to the production of milk and butter.
No substance is more sensitive to bad
odors than milk, and nothing will alb
sorb and retain them so we'll. The Cos
pei of cleanliness should begin with the
attire and the personal habits Of the
man who cares for and milks the cows;
it must be Omnipresent in the cow
barn, always observed in the care of
all utensils used in the business. The
all too common practice of wetting
the teats of the cow with her own milk
in the milking process is dairy sin of
the worst type, when drop or two of
and will not innoculate the milk. 1t is
probably stating an unpleasant truth
to say that it is the introduction of
cow manure into the milk in the num-
berless ways which are easily possible
where dirty dairy methods prevail
which more than any other thing is the
primary cause of bad favored butter.
1t requires not little work to keep
the dairy cow and the methods en-
ployed in the milking clean, but if one
is not willing to recognize the impor-
lance of cleanliness in this business he
had better let somebody else keep the
cows

A NOVEL BANQUET.

We attended a banquet not long
since, and we believe no such banquet
was ever before given in this country.
1t was given by the business men of
a western town, where bad roads have
been the rule since the country was
first settled, to about fifty farmers liv-
ing in the territory tributary, these
farmers having agreed with the afore-
said business men last spring to take
care of about fifty miles of country
highways by the new method Of drag
ging them after every hard rain. The
work accomplished was in every way
so excellent and beneficial to the trade
of the town that the banquet was CIV
en- the farmers in recognition of their
good work 1t was certainly novel
and altogether unique function, and
the plan adopted by both business men
and farmers might well be adopted by
other communities to their very great
advantage. Just compare this with the
old way of working the roads, where
the men who were working out their
tax were easily found under the shade
of a cottonwood tree spinning yarns at
$3.50 per day. 1t is further worth not
ing that the work done by the fifty
farmers was all gratuitous and done in
addition to paying their road taxes.
Where men feel this way the bad road
Will soon be thing of the past.

FISH, GAME AND CIVILIZATION.

Man naturally likes to fish ard hunt
for a living. He is not to blame for
this, as it is an instinct which comes
TO him in hereditary way. The sim
pie ability to be able to make living
in this manner quite often interferes
with any desire on his part to make
what we call progress and develop the
country, for the nearer in a wild state
he can keep the country the better the
hunting and the fishing and the easier
will it be for him to make a living
that way. The abundance of fish and
game in the southern states has al
ways been a hindrance to the develop
ment Of the colored race, there being
nothing which modern civilization
can offer him which will take the place
of hunting the coon and the possum
and catching mud cats in the streams.
Thus the mongrel bred hound became
almost as much Of fixture around the
home of the colored man, and also of
the poor white, as was the bunch Of
pickaninnies playing around the door
or the sallow faced white woman dip
ping snuff. White and black met on
common ground In the hunting field,
while the bay of the hounds on the
trail of the bear or the deer was the
sweetest of music to both races. Just
in proportion as the game disappears
civilization advances and fewer be-
comes the number Of dogs kept, and as
soon as the last coon and possum are ex-
terminated the colored brother will be
able to respect his neighbours chicken
roost and melon patch and not have to
be converted every winter.

PASSING OF THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

EASS1NU VI NAln1E Of1lSAE
The year 1905 sees the almost total
extinction of the prairie chicken in
Iowa, Minnesota and all the eastern
half of Kansas, Nebraska and the two
Dakotas. This splendid game bird is
disappearing just as did the buffalo and
the passenger pigeon. 1t is simply i'm
possible for it to hold it's own with pot
hunters, market Shooters repeating and
breechloading shotguns and the utter
Indifference and contempt with which
the American people regard all laws
for the preservation of wild life. We
well recall the days when these birds
contributed not little to the well be-
ing of the pioneer settlers, when they
were so numerous that at times they
were very destructive to the corn crop
unless it was husked early in the fall,
when one could go out after rain in
August with a good dog and knock as
many birds over with an OK CAD as he
wanted and when it was easy to trap
them by the dozen in the winter in
the cornfelds. In those days prairie
chicken, plover, mallard ducks and
pickerel, pike and bullheadS formed
the staple meat rations Of nearly all
pioneer communities, varied with rab-
bits and venison in winter. The mi
gratory wild fowl-geese and ducks
have not suffered so much from the
furious onslaught, but year by year
they are more carefully avoiding all
the more densely settled sections Of the
west

THE CATCHER Ar BAT.


Why is It that the pitcher is thu
weakest batsman on the team? That IL
a question that many man has asked
himself as the twirler has thrown down
his stick and walked to the bench with
resigned look on his face when hit
would have meant run.
Occasionally pitcher Is seen who can
swat them out with the best OF them, but
as a rule, the hard hitting curve merchant
is a mighty scarce article, Various rca-
sons have been advanced, one ~ tn.
fayortes being that the pitcher spends
so much Of his tmo ,practiclug various
ms, outs ana 'spits," that he has no timo
to put In learning to bat. 1t has alsD
been suggested, and with good reason
that the hard work ON the slab, com
blncd with the high nervous teusion at
which the pitcher is always working, so
weakcns him that he lacks the strength
and energy TO swing the bat with Ger
taiuty
Then, again, no ono Knows better than
the pitcher himself how apt a thrown
bah is to take sudden and unexpected
shoots, due often 60 the fact that the
ball is beyond control, even before lt
leaves the pitchers fingers. For this
reason there II always a fear In tho
pitchers mind that he may be struck by
the ball and perhaps permanently injured
Have you ever noticed the altitude Of the
average pitcher at batY Every line Of
his figure indicates fear, and he will gem
orally jump back from tho base before
the ball has hardly left the opposing
pitchers hand.
But there IS another reason and one
that probably has as much to do with H.
No matter how good player fielder
may be, the question Is always asked
what Is his batting average" Good
holders are so plentiful that managers
can afford 20 pass up the weak batting
