may be sufficiently darkened at little
expense to exclude flies and the COWS
should be kept in from morning until
evening and given eight or ten pounds
of alfalfa and a grain ration of three
or four pounds a head daily. This in
addition to good pasture at night con-
stitutes satisfactory ration and the
cows may be regularly turned out for
grazing during the night and kept in
during the day The dairy barn may
be darkened by ordinary window
shades or even by lacking gunny sacks
or blankets over the openings. Hay
chutes or other means of ventilation
should be kept open in order to insure
good atmosphere in the barn.
Butter has more than held it's own
this season. Notwithstanding the fact
that pasturage has never been more
plentiful increased consumption ap-
pears to be the cause. All our mining
camps are running at full blast and
the tourist travel this year is SO large
that it requires an extra quantity of
ranch goods to meet it. In fact not
nearly enough butter of high quality
is available to supply the demand the
country over.
Dairymen and others interested in
COWS and milk can secure two inter
esting little pamphlets for the asking,
by writing to the Vermont Farm Ma
chinery Co., Bellows Falls, VT. One
is entitled ''The Dairy" and the other

Products of the Dairy in China.

According to Consul G.. E. Anderson,
stationed at Annoy, China, foreign res
idents of China who use butter sent
out from Europe in tins are complain
ing generally that the quality of the
product is decidedly deteriorating. In
addition to this there is an abnormal,
not to say dishonest, amount of water
in the tins. One European product
probably receives more condemnation
than the rest. Some time ago Amer
lean butter put up in this manner
sold fairly well here, but some Amer
lean manufacturers adopted tactics
similar to those now complained of in
regard to the European supply, and
the result was a practical destruction
of American trade in timed butter.
Some American butter is now shipped

than the engine that is poorly kept
and badly managed. The comparison
of these two machines will give us
hint why it is that very often the dairy
bred COW does not do any better, IL
as we'll, as the socalled scrub or beef
cow. Steam engines or beasts must
be fed, cared for and operated, accord
ing to the kind of service they are to
render, if the greatest amount of work
is to be accomplished.

What Is An A. r. o. Cow?

This question is being asked by a
good many who have not kept posted
on dairy records and registry of fine
bred COWS. The letters have not been
in use very long, comparatively speak,
ing, but will be used great deal here
after. An A. R. o. cow is one that
has been officially tested and produced
the required amount of butter fat in
seven consecutive days. The letters
stand for the phrase, Advanced Re-
gistry, Official.
If the cow calves at two years or
under she must make 7.2 pounds or
butter fat in seven consecutive days
in order to become an A. R. o. heller.
A three-year-Old must make at least
88 lbs, four-year-Old, at least 1O.4
pounds, and five-year-old or over
must make IL lbs. of butter fat.
Whether the cow enters the A. X. o.
does not depend upon the amount OF
milk that she produces, but upon the
amount of fat that she gives in con-
secutive days.
The record must be made under the
supervision of an officer or assistant OF
an agricultural experiment station or
agricultural college, or by some person
whose integrity and ability is vouched
for by the director or by the professor
of dairy husbandry.

here packed in brine, and some people
prefer it to all other kinds. The timed
butter trade generally, however, has
been cut into greatly by shipments OF
fresh Australian butter of good quality
and selling at the same price as the
best timed buffers. This butter
comes in refrigerator vessels and may
fairly be termed first class product.
1t is not as good butter as the best
American product, however, and Mr..
Anderson has no doubt that if Amer
lean dairy interests would put up their
goods in proper shape and offer a good
grade of butter a large and profitable
trade could be built up. Already
some American butter in bulk and in
pound packages is coming into the
market The complaints now made
of the European product offer an op'
portunity for American shippers to re-
cover lost ground. 1t will be a long
time before fresh butter can be sold
in other than the larger coast ports in
this part of the world, there being no
means of preserving such goods in
warm weather during shipment inland.
Timed butter of the first grade sells
in all ports which have come under his
observation at about S5c. Mexican per
pound (about 40c. gold.)
The manner in which American con-
densed milk and evapOrated cream
dominate the market in China is am
pie enough demonstration that Amer
lean dairy interests can meet the COM
petition of the world in such lines
There ought to be an opening for
American cheese. What cheese is
shipped from the United States seems
to be popular. 1t is difficult to handle
it in Tie Chinese market in the Ordi-
nary packages and the American
cheese producers can probably expert
ment a little in the line of timed
goods with profit. Considerable Euro
pean cheese, notably Swiss product,
is sold here in small tins. Any plans
for such trade should contemplate
small packages. 1t is difficult to pre-.
serve any such product in hot, damp
climate where ice costs 11sc. gold per
pound, if it is to be had at all, as is
the case in ports like Annoy.
The experience of American butter
makers and of European manufacture
ers as we'll, is certainly such as to
show the necessity of sending out first
class dairy goods and of giving full
weight. 1t seems rather strange that
it is necessary to urge upon the bust.
ness world such common business
principles and ordinary honesty, but
there is abundant proof that they are
needed. and this, too, without respect
to nationality. Trade cannot prosper
here on a false foundation any more
than it can in the United States.

Buttermakers Going to Chicago.

w
Buttermakers Going to Chicago.
e. Sudendorf, secretary of the Ma
tional Creamery Buttermakers' ASSo-
citation, makes the announcement that
the next buttermakers convention is
to be held at the Coliseum in Chicago
in February of next year This is to
be the twelfth annual convention OF
the association, and national dairy
show will be held in connection with
the buttermakers' convention, where
will be shown not only creamery ap-
paratus, but everything used by the
dairy farmer and milkman, including
all kinds of feeds, COW stanchions
silos, milk wagons, etc.
This show was not decided on until
many of the prominent supporters OF
the association were consulted, and
with but very few exceptions the an
swers were all enthusiastic for the
next meeting in Chicago, together with
a general dairy show In fact already
one-half of the large floor space in the
Coliseum has been spoken for. The
main floor of the Coliseum is 300 feet
long by ITO feet and will be used for
the exhibits of dairy and creamery ap-
pliances of all kinds-butter, cheese
milk, food stuffs of all kinds and work
ing creamerieS, cheese factories, city
milk plants and ice cream factories.
Adjoining this large room is an annex
80 feet by ITO feet, which will be used
to parade the dairy cattle at stated
times during the show Underneath
the annex is stable room for l73
COWS, thoroughly ventilated, heated by
steam and lighted by electricity.
Above the annex is beautiful hall II
feet by ITO feet, where will be held
the twelfth annual convention OF
creamery buttermakers and the con-
vention of dairy farmers. On the main
floor of the Coliseum among the eX-
hibits, will be erected a band stand,
where one of the best bands in the
country will discourse music after
Moons and evenings. No creamery
proprietor, manager, buttermaker or
dairy farmer can afford to miss this
convention and dairy show.
The association expects to have on
exhibition $50 to 200 of the finest
dairy COWS of different breeds, and
there will be one and possibly several
milking machines in operation. City
milk dealers will show their mode OF
preparing and delivering pure milk,
several large creamery companies will
show the latest methods OF manufac-
turing and putting up butter in attrac-
tive packages, several cheese factories
will be in operation and an exhibit OF
sculptured butter will also be shown
as at the Worlds Fair. During the
dairy show there will be convention
of dairy farmers and creamery pa
irons, who will be addressed by the
foremost teachers of dairy work and
instructed in the latest methods of
feeding as well as the care of cows,
milk and cream.

Vice-President Learned Quickly.

Vice-President Fairbanks is proving
an apt pupil in the role of presiding
officer Of the United States senate.
For few days he was clearly wor-
ried, and on one or two days actually
became ratified. The senate was
about to go into executive session one
afternoon and Mr.. Fairbanks intended
to order the sergeant at arms to "clear
the galleries and close the DOORS" In
stead, he directed that official to "clear
the door and close the galleries" !"
The first day he made slip. He
was administering the oath of Office

use of the book to guide him. AS
result he Inadvertently omitted that

UnpIeasant Fact Brought Out by Sub
- J Jest Of Divorce. ,..,. st:.:4sst
Much is said and written now upon
the subject of divorce, says Miss
Julia Magruder in an article entitled
"Lancelot, Guineyere and Arthur" In
the North American Review. And
much there is to say on the legal side
OF the state against the man or wom'
an who seeks to break the legal bond
of marriage. Perhaps, of all these
arguments, the strongest is that of
necessity. The law must hold man
and woman together, for the reason
that love will not. But for this fact
the impermauence of human affection
which every day confronts US, Love
and not Law might be conceded to
constitute the marriage bond. But
stern necessity compels us to recog-
nize the fact that this obligation too
rarely holds to be established as a
precedent. Therefore-in the present
age of man, at least-we are com
PEELED to respect the legal bond. The
legal bond, yes-but the mere legal
bond, no!-and when Tennyson
pushes it to the point of assuring,
without doubt or hesitation, that this
will be the one which will prevail in
the eternal hereafter, even his beauti'
full poetry does not save the situation

Love cruel tyrant is;
Stays his victims with glance.
Straight recovers with a kiss

For woman-hater of thirty to sud-

Soaps as Insecticides,

A communication from the New
York Experiment Station relative to
the quality of soaps for insecticides,
says:
Whale oil, or fish oil, soaps are
among the best of contact insecticides
II they are of good quality, since they
are inexpensive, easy to use, safe and
effective. In practice, however, they
nave been found to give varying re-
suits, some lots of the solutions made
from such soaps failing to kill many
OF the same kind OF insects that other
lots Of the same apparent strength
destroyed completely. The continued
occurrence Of such failures cast sus-
plclon upon the soaps, and examina-
tlons at the experiment station, by the
exact methods of the chemist, proved
that they vary to q surprising extent.
The best sample contained four times
as much actual soap as the poorest
one, and one sample of certain brand
was only half as good a soap as an.
other sample of the same brand from
a different package. So unreliable
we're these soaps that the best solu-
ton of the problem appeared to be for
the users to- make the soap at home,
If feasible, and very few trials
showed the process Of making to be
very simple and inexpensive.
The soap is made by thorough mix
ing OF easily obtained materials, with
out heating. To make 40 pounds of
soap, containing 60 per cent actual
soap, requires six pounds of caustic
soda, % pounds of fish oil and IL
gallons Of water. The soda is first
dissolved in the water and the oil then
added gradually, with constant and
vigorous stirring. This soap can be
made at cost of three cents a pound
or less. Used at the rate of one
pound to seven gallons of water, the
solution will destroy plant lice. scales
and other soft-bodied sucking insects
without injury to foliage.

thing that will belong to the owner
OF the place. The same is true of the
renter on the farm. In some Of our
states there is a law that every build
ing erected that is in permanent con.
tact with the soil belongs to the owner
OF the soil even though it may have
been constructed by the tenant. But
house such as we have indicated is
not in contact with the soil in the
sense in which an ordinary building
is in contact with it, where cellar
is dug or where posts are set into
the earth. The poultry house that can
be taken down and moved about is,
therefore, an advantage to the tenant
farmer.

Seeds Of Pines and cedars

1t is not generally supposed seeds
OF pines and cedars do any better in
fertilized earth than in earth that has
received applications of manure. But
these trees respond to a good supply
OF plant food as much as do, other
plants and trees. Pines and cedars
are, however, slow growers, and in the
forests have the protecting shade of
other trees till they get start. 1t is,
therefore, found to be best to plant
the seeds Of these in beds where they
can be shaded partly during the first
two years, after which they may be
planted out into the timber belt or
forest plantation.

Guatemalan wars. He also served the
United States in the Philippines.
where he was wounded thrice in one
battle and won lieutenancy for gal
