understood literally by the cow, but
the impression you have left in her
head, as well 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 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 Milk Veins.

The milk veins found along the stom-
ach of the COW should be very tortu-
Gus, says American CultiVator. They
wind about on the belly and pass into
the body through oriices in the rear
of the fore flank. Their duty is to con-
vey the venous blood to the lungs for
publication; hence the larger the vein
and the greater it's ramifcations the
better indication it is that the circula-
ton 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 product of
the blood.

SELECTING DAIRY COWS.


Points which Denote the ProliAc
MIX Producer.
Although the final proof Of the value
OF any COW and her right to be kept in
the herf should depend upon her abili-
ty, as shOsn by the scale and fat test.
It very often happens that dairyman
must rely upon his own judgment in
the selection OF cows for his herd The
COW whose good records are known is
had time to make short test that
would not be sufficient to prove the
worth Of the cow Usually he has to
depend upon experience and possibly in
some cases careful study
Thousands of dairymen have owned
and handled cows nearly all their lives
and yet are poor judges of cattle The
reason for this is that the knowledge
which they have gained from their ex-
perience is superficial. They have
made little Or no study Of the cow ex-
cept in the aggregate. They never have
proved or corrected their Judgments by
records or tests. The type of u good
dairy COW is vague conception in
their minds, based more upon personal
opinion than upon evidence or fact
Intelligent and progressive farmers
and dairymen, however, are becoming
more familiar with the fact that milk
and butter producing qualities of cows
are accompanied by general yigor.
conformation, temperament, fineness,
bearing and other features that are
quite characteristic. Dairymen who
profit most in the keeping Of cows IA
miliarize themselves with these charac-
teristics and understand their relation.

Concerning skim MIX.

In Europe the farmers have much
higher idea of the feeding value of
skim milk than is entertained by the
farmers of the United States. The Bel
gian farmers fix the value of this inn
portant food at 33 cents per 100
pounds. But this value is due to the
fact that the Belgian farmers are
thoroughly well posted in the art Of
feeding and developing young animals.
This is a good consideration

cows legs and is given one or two
turns around itself. It is then passed

Large and Small Cows.

Several interesting facts were pre-
sented during recent experiments with
dairy cattle. It was found to be the
rule that the animals Of medium size
gave more milk than the large ones;
that the large ones varied most In
yield and also required more food to
keep up their milk than the smaller
ones The percentage of fat also
proved to be- less in the milk Of the
large cows than In that OF either the
medium or small ones. Farm and

Many persons consider that ia calf
raised on skim milk cannot be other
than poor miserable creature which
will never be OF any use to the owner
or to any one else owing to the check
to its development during it's first
few months of life, says correspond
ent of American Cultivator. It is
quite true that there are plenty Of
puny, understood calves to be found
that have been raised on skim milk,
but their unsatisfactory condition is
not the result of the skim milk, but OF
the careless and ignorant methods in
which it is led.
The poor results which have so often
followed the feeding OF skim milk
have, according to bulletin issued by
the Missouri station, been due to
faulty methods, and not because the
fat (creaml which has been taken out
is absolutely indispensable to the nor.

by no means the most valuable part
of the milk for the calf The fat does

the growth making material are the

material are made the muscles and

months of its life as the one nursed by
the COW. It often has, however, rather

in addition to the skim milk some
food which will furnish a reasonable
amount of fat. Cornmeal has been
found to be very satisfactory and is
used extensively for this purpose. BY
giving the calf something to properly
balance the skim milk, by feeding
the milk warm and sweet and not in
too large quantities excellent results
can be depended upon.
The Danish Red Cow.
In Denmark, at least in the two Is
lands which form the best part Of the
kingdom, the Red Danish cow is the
principal breed, These animals are a
brownish red with black points. They
are larger than the Ayrshire, not SO
heavy as the Holstein and are shorter
in the legs than the latter. They are
good dairy cattle. At an agricultural
school which / visited. where thirty
cows are kept, they have a record of
an average yield of $500 pounds of
milk and $40 pounds of butter per cow.

Care OF Milk on. the Farm

The place where the herd is kept and
its care are second in Importance only
to the health of the animals. Infection
from stable air can be largely avoided
by using special care in feeding and
cleaning. The air should not be full
Of dust at milking time. Some advo-
cate the use of a special room for milk
ing only. The effect Of milking In
pure air is shown by an experiment in
which the cow was MIXED in an open
field on damp morning when the air
was clear, and it was found that her
milk contained only a few bacteria in
the same volume which, under ordinary
conditions in the stable contains many
hundreds.-R. A. Pearson, United
States Department of Agriculture
At Milking Time.
No dusty food should be fed just
previous to milking. If it is believed
to be necessary for cows to be eating
at milking time, they may be given
moist feed then and the dry fodder
used after milking. The animals and
stables should be cleaned early and
the stable well ventilated before milk
building in hot weather it is well to
sprinkle the floor to settle the dust
and lower the temperature.
Stable Odors.
Cow stables should be kept clean all
the time; little attention once or
twice daily is not enough lie the cows
are kept continually in their places
an attendant should pass through the
stables several times day and remove
all droppings. When the herd is large
d boy or man may well be continually
employed for that purpose. This is
more necessary than formerly on ac-
count Of the high feeding usually prac-
tced and the consequent soft manure
or disagreeabIe odor It is well to
make free use of land plaster for the
purpose of absorbing moisture and un-
desirable odors as well as increasing
| the value OF manure.
Cow Barn Disinfectnnt.
| One Of the best and cheapest disin-
fectants for floors, cutters, waste pipes,
ETC., is sulphate of iron tcopperas) Tor
floor as much of this should be dis
solved as water will hold. It is then
applied with a sprinkler Lumps OF
dry copperas are useful for purifying
j drains.
After stable has been disinfected
I it should be allowed to remain empty
for several days for thorough airing.

Considerable agitation has resulted
In the minds of great many people
interested in progressive dairying ow
ing to the method Of cream ripening
suggested by Professor Dean of the
Ontario Agricultural college. He car
ried on some experiments by adding
starter to the cream, cooling it down
and churning it Immediately, says 6.
Larsen In Creamery Journal. Another
lot he ripened in the usual way. He
found that the quality Of the butter
resulting from adding the starter and
churning at once was as good as and
even better than the quality of the
butter made from the cream ripened ID
the usual lengthy way.
It has in the past been thoroughly
demonstrated that sweet cream butter
| is not as good in several respects as
| butter made from ripened cream, and
| it was also thought that process of
| fermentation was necessary in order
| to develop the peculiar desirable fla
| vors which are developed in butter
from ripened cream. It may, however,
be possible that these hayoring sub
stances can be developed in starter
and impaired directly to the butter fat
In the cream to which the starter is
/ added.
Whether this process of adding
starter, stirring and churning imme-
diately will produce as good quality
Of butter as when ripened in the usual
way will seemingly depend upon
whether all these flayoring substances
can be added directly to the fat in the
cream from the starter.
/ A Model Creamery.
! The creamery at Fredericksburg, Ia,
ranks with the best in the state, and
every time we have called there it has
appeared above par as regards clean
illness and good order. For the year
ending Dec 81, 1908, this creamery
took in 1888 $50 pounds of milk. made
2S6,003 pounds of butter, had an aver
age yearly test of 3.S3 and an average
yield of AL and paid 9O.6 cents for
every 100 pounds Of milk received. Its
! cost of making 100 pounds of butter
and placing the same on board cars for
1908 was $1.51. Few creameries can
make better Or as good showing.
During June this year this creamery
took in 94o85o pounds Of milk, and

TOGO, JAPAN,s VICTORIOUS ADMIRAL
Trained in Enoland.

At the time Of the restoration, thir-
. ty-eight years ago, Togo was a retain-
er of the feudal lord in his native town
Of Kumamoto, 100 miles south Of
Nagasaki. When his lord and clan
declared allegiance to the mikado Togo
was among the first to offer his sword.
Later, when the rnikado determined to
establish great navy, Togo, who from
his youth, had been eager for the sea,
was sent to England for the proper
training. He went thru the regular
courses at the Incorporated Thames
Nautical Training College on n. NJ. S.
Worcester, and after spending a year
or two on the training ship, became.
at the age If q midshipman on tho
Kasuga, one of the little gunboats in
the first Japanese fleet.
Up to the outbreak Of the China
Japan war, Togo's service was as COM
mander Of the training ships Hiei and
Kongo. He was selected for this post
because Of his ability to whip" men
into fighting shape in the shortest pos
sible time. Many Of the cadets he
trained are we'll known officers now,
and they loudly herald the fact and
seek to pattern themselves after their

JAPAN's NAVAL HERO.
Admiral Togo Has Long Record Of
Brilliant Achievements.


Washington, May 29.-Adn1iral He
hatchi Togo, the Japanese Nelson" "
who solved the destiny of the far east
by smashing Admiral Rojestvensky's S
feet, adding defeat on the seas to the
successive Russian land reverses, is
the hero of the hour to the outside
world, as well as to Japan.
The gallant naval commander who
made history today is a fit descendant
of the great fighting race of the Sat-
suma Samurai. Since the beginning OF
the war he has been the naval hero of
the Japanese forces. He fired the first
shot in the struggle, for supremacy in
the orient and was in direct command
of the naval operations at Port Arthur
that ended in the downfall of the Rus
sian stronghold. He stands out today
as the great figure, in the engagement
that may have established the final
outcome OF the war.
Admiral Togo was born Oct. A. 1857,
not of noble or princely parentage, as
are many of his fellow officers, but Of
fighting stock, the son of Samuraf
of the great Satsuma clan, the clan
that has given Nippon the majority Of
her leading modern warriors. He re-
ceived the greater part of his early
naval training in England.

Russians Must Sue For Peace.
Berlin, May 29.-Naval critics in the
evening papers accept without reserve
the Associated Press dispatches
from Toxic and build on them the view
that the war has entered upon the last
phase in which Japanese command Of
the sea will continue unthreatened
until the end. The battle Of Saturday
is called the greatest fleet action for a
hundred years or since Trafalgar and
is classed here as being immensely
greater than the Adriatic sea fight in
1865 or the naval battle of Santiago in
1888. While details are too few to en-
able the whole picture to be recon-
structed. enough is evident for expert
commentators to think it indicates a

Official Advices Received Indicate Jap
Victory is Complete.
Washington, May 29.-An official
telegram from Toxic states Togo re-
ports the, total losses sustained by the
Russian fleet Saturday and Sunday
were: Two battleships, one coast de-
fense armorclad, five cruisers, two
special service ships and three de-
stroyers, all sunk; two battle ships,
two coast defense arnorclads, one
special service Ship and one destroyer
and over two thousand prisoners cap
tured. Togo adds the Japanese squad
ron was undamaged
According to advices received by the
navy department from Toxic, the Jap
anese in addition to the ships already
named, captured the Russian battle-
ship Sissoi Veliky and the Russian
flagship was seriously damaged.
FrightfuI Loss of Life.
What are the losses sustained by the
personnel total cannot be ascertained.
1t is believed, however, that the Rus
slams have lost at least 1000 killed,
wounded and drowned. One of their
cruisers the Admiral Nakhimoff, it is
believed, was blown up and the 600
souls aboard We're either killed or
drowned.
The daring of the Japanese is shown
by the fact that one of the Russian
ships, the Sissoi Veliky, ii is believed,
was afterwards sunk.
Altogether the battle must have been
one of the most thrilling of any age.
There does not appear to have been
any hesitancy on the part of the Jap
anese. They rushed at their foe with
the same fanatical bravery their troops
have shown in Manchuria, and the
Russians, while they fought bravely,
from all accounts do not appear to
have been able to get home in the
same effective manner as their enemy
From Minister Griscom the state de-
partment received today a dispatch
stating that the japanese had held the
straits of Korea. The wording is such
that the authorities are not certain the
minister meant he prevented the Rus
slams from passing thru or that he took
position in them before the battle.
