THE RIGHT COWS.

Says Professor George A. Smith OF
the Geneva experiment station: The
farmer should dispose OF all cows not
showing n good net profit At the end
OF the year. II is only by careful
analysis at Inherent seasons OF the
year that the farmer can tell which
cows are the best. Twenty cows well
fed and cared for are worth more
than 40 half kept.
The following shows the produc-
ton OF three cows, all about six years
OF age, OF equal size and with the
same care and feed: No. produced
5000 pounds Of sc per cent. No. 2
made 5000 pounds OF 4 per cent milk.
No. 3 made 1900 pounds OF 3.S per
cent milk. The cost OF keeping was
a little over $40 each. This means
keeping three cows TO get the profit
Of one.
at the experiment station we are
trying 10 solve this question. We
have a six-year-old COW. bred from a
Jersey COW and n Holstein sire,
which gave 1900 pounds OF milk;
another one, four years old, gave
5000 pounds OF 5 per cent milk.

POINTERS ON MILK.

A bulletin issued by the Storrs sta.
ton In Connecticut On the food value
Of a pound OF milk gives the follow
Ing conclusions:
These experiments were made with
young animals, in which the digestive
fluids were not In full and active
operation.
To produce one pound of gain In
live weight In these young animals.
more total solids were required with
the milk rich In butter fat than with
the milk poor In butter fat.
Later In the trials. with pigs fed
on rich milk id libitum, serious d.
gestive disturbances were noticed.
The failure Of pound OF milk
solids In rich milk 20 make equal or
better gains was not due apparently
10 lack OF heterogeneous material. but
rather TO the excess OF "a; or TO the
character of the fat.
Larger fat globules were found In
the richer milk, and this fact. In con.
nection with the digestive disturb

reasons for the larger gains from a
pound OF solids with the poorer milk.
Fat globules in human milk are
smaller than the fat globules In cows

ogy from the brute to the human.
then whole milk containing a low per
cent OF fat would seem to be better
suited for infant feeding than whole
milk high In ner cent OF fat.

WIN POINT AGAINST SCALPERS
Railroads Succeed in Getting InJune-
tIOn from Colorado state
Courts.

In suit recently brought in the district
court OF Pueblo county, Colorado, the allied
railroads sought for an injunction to pre-
vent the scalpers handling special contract
tickets. The case was heard by Judge NJ
Walter Dixon, who granted the order re-
quested. In his oral opinion Judge Dixon
briefly summed UP the points and the au-
thorities, closing his remarks as follows:
II has been said by counsel for the de-
PENDANTS that the effect of this Injunction
would be to break up the business Of ticket
brokers. 80 far as these brokers Garry on
legitimate business IL cannot be affected
by this Injunction at all. So far as they
carry on business In these special contract
tickets IL ought to be broken up. II is an

Il Is fraud upon the travelling public. II

OF exercising their rights without any hind
rance, without any Interference from third
persons In regard to these special contract
tickets. the travelling public would not be
subjected 10 the annoyance to which they
are now subjected in order that they may

that to the benefit OF the public generally

The Krause brothers, cattle men from
Sheridan county, recently sentenced to
pay fine Of 1890 and costs amounting
to about 1890 for illegal fencing of the
public lands, have determined to carry the
case on appeal to the United States circuit
court Of appeals on a writ OF error. APP
plication for the writ will be made early
during the coming week. The basis of the
alleged error will be the impeachment of
the testimony of the Osborns, the intro
duction OF the Sylvester killing case as
pretudicing the jury against the defend
ants, Krause brothers, which resulted in
the jury finding against them, and that
the court erred in denying the motion for
a new trial; that the offense was stat
utory and not a criminal oftense.

COLLISION ON THE BELT LINE
Two People Are slightly Injured
and Two Cars Badly
Smashed.

There was a small wreck on the Missouri
Pacific belt line at the Druid Hill station
yesterday afternoon. A switch engine Of
the Illinois Central colided with Missouri
Pacific freight. Tine freight had pulled in
and was switching cars at the chair
factory when the switch engine, which
uses the same track, following the freight
with a number of cars struck 1t. An oil
car telescoped furniture car and both
were disabled. A little girl whose name
could not be learned was riding in the cab
of the Illinois Central engine and she was
severely shaken up and bruised. The en-
gineer OF the same train received painful
bruises of the shoulder. The Missouri
Pacific officials say the damage to the
trains and to the parties was slight.
