BEST DAIRY BREEDS.
A Question often Asked, but Difficult
to Answer.

to Answer.
What dairy breed of cows shall l
choose? This is a question that is so
often asked and, in way, never an
swered, for it is impossible for any one
to state what breed of cattle is the best
for some other man to choose, says
Hoard's Dairyman There is a personal
factor which enters into the choosing
of all classes of things, cattle not ex-
cepted.
There are four distinct dairy breeds
of cattle-namely, the Holstein, Jersey.
Guernsey and Ayrshire-and good COWS
can be selected from any of these
breeds. It should be borne in mind
that it is not alone the breed that
makes good dairy COWS, but judicious
selection and breeding of the individual
animals are equally necessary. In other
words, the pure breds must be selected
and culled if a strong, vigorous, large
producing and profitable herd is to be
maintained and developed. 1t is not
enough to say that an animal is pure
Bred but it is quite as important to add
what she is capable of doing.
Each dairy breed of cattle has its pc
culiar characteristics, and before per-
son chooses any one of the breeds he
should study the temperament, DISPOSE
ton and chief characteristics Of each
one There are very few men who have
studied carefully the different traits Of
the dairy breeds who have not formed
a personal preference, and in most
cases would not be satisfied with any
of the other breeds, because their tenn
peraments do not harmonic with his.
The selection of a breed must therefore
be left entirely to the individual, and 1t
Is our suggestion that our correspond
ent study carefully each breed before
any one is selected.
1t would be difficult task, If not i'm
possible, for us to write in detail the
characteristics Of the dairy breeds, so
that a person could decide from read
ing the description of each which breed
he would prefer. We can say, however,
that the HOlsteinS are noted for their
large flow of milk, which is moderately
rich in fat; the Jerseys and Guernseys
! for a medium flow Of milk, which is
: rich in fat, and the Ayrshires standing
, between the Holstein and Jersey and
i Guernsey, giving not as large a flow OF
! milk as the HoIstein and not as rich as
; the Jersey or Guernsey.

The Echoes Of Eagles Nest.

The most wonderful echo in the
known world is that heard from the
Eagles Nest in the lake regions of Ire
land. The rock known as Eagles
Nest" is the most prominent peak to be
found among the heights that surround
the Killarney lakes. It's apex is 1880
feet above the surface of the water,
and the extraordinary echo is heard to
the best advantage from spot 100
feet to the west from an opening called
the Devils mouth. At that point the
effect Of the re-echoed sounds is absO-
lutely startling, the slightest whisper
being repeated as often as 1000 times.
The rebound is always clear and dis
tinct and appears to come from the
crags, cliffs and peaks which surround
the experimental on all sides.

MINE GUARDS
ARE AMBUSHED
Over Five Hundred Shots Fired ON
Both Sides but No One Is Re-
ported Killed.

Steubenville, O., June 5.-The first
battle between the striking coal min
ers and the guards at the United
States Coal company mines took place
men, two guards and two strikers,
were wounded. No one was killed.
The miners had prepared an am
buscade for the guards in the woods,
midway between Plum Run and Brad
ley mines, and as the siXty-three armed
men, marching single file, came along
the narrow path, a miner ahead shot
in the air. At this signal the $50
strikers who were hiding behind the
rocks and trees opened fire from the
hillsides ON the guards in the hollow.
Many of the latter at once broke
ranks and fed back to Plum Run, but
others stood their ground and returned
the fire. The battle lasted fifteen min
utes. Over 500 shots We're exchanged
and the firing only ceased after the
guards ammunition had been eX-
hausted. The guard then retired from
the field and returned to Plum Run.
The ambuscade, it is said, was az
ranged because Of an alleged assault
upon an Italian union miner who re-
fused to work.

sought to detain him, but Morales,
drawing a revolver shot the guard
dead. Then he turned to flee, but q
number of the inhabitants of the town

upon himself he sent a shot in the
region of his heart, expiring few min

Milwaukee, June Arthur MI.
Rejnke. the receiving teller who en-
bezzled $4,000 from the Marshall &
Ilsley bank. and just captured in Port
land, Ore. was arrested while iii
curing for mail under the name OF
A. J. Barr. This was the name by
which he was known in Chicago,
where he was the friend of actresses,
and lived a life in which he hit only
the high places.
Reinke is said to have expressed
ton. but the papers will be prepared
to prevent trouble in case he should
change his mind. When arrested he
had 500 with him, all that remained
of about $4,000 which the police be-
lieve he had when he left Milwaukee.
In tracing Reinke the Milwaukee pU-
lice uncovered some curious peculiari-
ties which led to his undoing. His
passions were actresses and touring
ears The desk of Inspector Riemer
is piled with letters from actresses to
Reinke asking for money, and it is
said that ''touch" of this kind never
failed of it's object.

Ike INDUCED by hiring a car whenever
he went to Chicago, in which he often
would come to Milwaukee on Sunday,
returning that evening and coming
back to Milwaukee by train Monday
morning. 1t was on such car that
Reinke made his escape. He went to
Chicago the Sunday before his books
were examined At that time he ap-
parently was suspicious that his career
had about come to an end, for he hired
big touring car there for use for
several days, paying 5000 for it and
chauffeur In this, with some friends,
he came to Milwaukee and stored the
car at a garage on the west side.
Reinke left orders for the chauffeur
to be ready to start out at any mo-
mcnt. When he was taken to task by
! Cashier Puelicher Reinke went home
! had luncheon, and then went to the
garage, accompanied by two friends.
He ordered out the car and told the
chauffeur to drive to OconOmowoc as
fast as possible, telling the man i'll con-
| fidence that he had forged check on
"the old man" and had to get away
| for time.
At Oconomowoc he left the party
and took a train west.
This story was obtained from the
chauffeur in Chicago by Detective
Dennis Sullivan and dragnet was
spread through the west by the po-
lice, who thought he might be head
inc for Alaska. Another was stretched
in the direction of Mexico, where Rein
Ike was known to have friends. Hardly
had the nets been set before news OF
Reinke's arrest in Portland was re-
ceived He had been there week.

Feeding the Milk Makers

A question which naturally arises is
why will a cow give more milk when
allowed to eat grass in a pasture than
when this same grass is cut and fed
in the stall? From our work it would
seem that this is so, says Professor
Doane of the Maryland experiment sta
ton. Two variations occur in the two
cow usually receives all her forage in
two feeds per day; in the other she
may put in a large share Of the day
gathering her feed. In one case the
feed may be slightly wilted, while in
the other it is, of course, eaten perfect
ly fresh 1t is hard to see, however,
how either of these would materially
affect the milk There seems to be
chance for some experimental work for
determining the best method of feeding
soiling crops. There might be chance
for improving the custom of feeding
twice a day only.
Good Feeding Pays.
A half starved cow is never profit
able Get good COWS and feed we'll and
the results will always be satisfactory.
Feed For the Dry Cow.
Bran is the safest feed that goes
down a cows throat; hay and bran
when she is dry. In ten days or two
weeks before calving she ought to be-
gin to make bag II she does not on
four to six quarts of bran and all the
oh nd u rn
right, commence to give her handful
of cake meal; increase it to two hand
fuls and on up to a pint if necessary.
At every feed keep your eye on the
cow and her udder. 1t should not be
a big, red, infamed, ulcerous looking
thing, as hard as a brick and out OF
shape, but a splendid pendent recepta-

COttonseed Meal.
If you have been in the habit Of feed

meal as the grain ration during the
winter season, get some cottonseed

amount of the cornmeal. Gradually
come up to one quart of the cottonseed
meal, leaving out a like amount OF
