Holstein Sale at Syracuse, NJ. Y.
Last month there was held in SYRIA
cuse, N. Y, what was known as the
Breeders Consignment Sale, where
some of the leading Holstein-Friesian
breeders disposed of large number of
animals at prices that ranged from
5000 to $4,000 per head. The animals
were all full bloods and bred in the
purple, and numbers of them went to
start the foundation for more herds
throughout the country. 1t has been
said that big prices for COWS of fine
breeding are a thing of the past, but
this sale seems to knock the claim in
the head. These prices are as high as
were being obtained by the same breed
ers ten and twelve years ago.
The only way to keep the milk from
being badly tainted with pasture weeds
is to go out and pull up the wild gar
lie, mustard, leeks, and like weeds
that give offensive odors. Members of
the rape and cabbage family also faint
the milk. Aeration, stirring, or pour
ing of the milk from one bucket to
another will help to rid milk of some
of the odor
A good fly repeller to put on the
COWS in fly time is a good investment
for milk returns. The advertised prep
arations are good and not expensive.
A home made preparation can be
made by mixing nineteen parts of fish
oil and one part of carbolic acid, or
if the crude carbOlic acid can be OBJ
tanned, it may be used with oil in the
proportion of one to ten. The two
should be thoroughly mixed and ap-
piled with brush, CLOTH or sponge.

those who have given the matter lit
tie thought. Farmers know that 1t
supplies the needed food for the
growth and fattening of hogs and
calves, and it figures largely in plans
made for increasing the size of their
bank account. 1t is claimed that in
two and a half quarts of skim milk
there is the same amount of protein
and fuel value as in pound of meat
costing much less. 1t should be taken
in large quantities to get the proper
amount of nourishment, and it may
be that just here is where the mistake
is made, and people who drink a small
quantity are not benefited When
taken from the separator thoroughly
aerated, it is more palatable and nu-
tritious to the majority of those who
suffer from weak digestive organs
than when allowed to stand.

Getting Grass on the Lawn.

On order to have permanent lawn
the sod should be dense and firm. This
means that the seed bed must be thor
oughly prepared before any seeds are
sown. Where grass seed is to be sown
around a new building the filling
should be allowed to settle and a slope
given from the foundation. The
ground about the building should be
rich and loose. The aim in getting
ground into a lawn is to start the
grass early in the spring to get good
start before the hot weather of mid
summer.
The kind of grass to SOW will depend
upon the taste of the owner. One OF
the best lawn grasses is June grass or
blue grass Not less than one and
half to two bushels should be sown to
the acre. There are number OF
grass mixtures that will make a good
lawn. If white clover is desired, SOW
a couple of quarts of seed per acre
with the June grass. Sow separate
from June grass. Grass seed to do best
should be sown early in the fall or
early in the spring. Timothy may be
sown with the blue grass at the rate
of three or four quarts per acre. This
will give green surface the first year,
and afford temporary covering to the
ground and repeated cutting will de-
stroy it the first year. The first sea-
son the weeds, especially in rich soil,
will flourish. They should not be
pulled, for by so doing, many young
grass plapts will be rooted up. The
frequent use of the lawn mower will
keep down annual weeds and the per-
ennial weeds, such as dandelion, dock,
etc., may be pulled out the second
year after the grass is we'll developed.
1t is seldom that the first sown OF
grass seed will get an even stand OF
plants. This is especially true where
soil varies. Dig up the patches where
there is a poor stand and SOW in fall
or spring, raking over with a steel
rake.
Remember that where a lawn is
sprinkled it is necessary to keep it up
Such a course of procedure is not ad-
visable. Now the lawn frequently
when it is growing rapidly and aim
to get deep rooted plants.

folks will greatly appreciate a little
help in milking, that is, if they do the
milking. Provided the barn is clean
and sweet, the women of the farm
ought to be willing to help out little
in this work 1t is no disgrace for a
woman to milk under circumstances
of this kind. Farming is sort of a
partnership arrangement at best, and
the men ought to be willing to turn in
and help wash the dishes when neces-
sary and the women help in the milk
ing. Circumstances come up that
make these things almost necessary
at certain rush times.

Dairyinu in the kittitas Valley.

The two leading creameries in Kit
titas county, the Ellensburg Creamery
Co. and the Kittitas Creamery Co.,
combined have manufactured over
$4,000 pounds of butter each month Tor
several months past. This product IS
about evenly divided between the two
factories. Mr.. B. F. Reed the father
of dairying in the Kittitas valley" is
the president of the first named FAC
tory, and it was through his enthusl-
astic efforts that dairying in the val
ley was established some fifteen years
ago. From the start Mr.. Reed insisted
upon making the highest grade OF but
ter, and it is largely due to this tact
that. the butter made in the Kittitas
enjoys a high reputation throughout
the countrys markets. This cream,
cry has some 120 patrons, nearly all
of whom use hand separators
The Kittitas company has about l25
patrons, and the butter made from
their cream goes for local consump-

added to cut the oil, and then the
preparation can be sprayed on the
cattle with an ordinary hand sprayer

If you are having trouble keeping
the milk sweet, plan on having a milk
cellar or house next year. If there
is 70 other place available now, the
we'll is a pretty good place to keep
cream. 1t is rather slOvenly way
but it is necessary to use all sorts OF
makeshifts on the farm until things
can be arranged properly But don't
be content with makeshifts forever. A
we'll arranged and convenient house
equipment is just as necessary as
for the men to have good barn, al
though they cannot always see it that
way.

WISCONSIN'S WAR CRY
Democratic State Convention De.
clares for Bryan and Tariff
for Revenue Only.

Milwaukee, June 29.-William JeR-
nings Bryan was strongly Endorsed as
the standard bearer of the national
Democratic party in the campaign OF
1908 by the Democratic state conven-
ton which has adjourned sine die.
There were only two occasions In
which Bryan's name was mentioned
during the day, and those were when
the resolutions were read as whole,
and again when the planks We're adopt
ed separately. In both instances his
name was cheered repeatedly and the
words Bryan. Bryan. Bryan, three
cheers for Bryan" brought forth tu-
mutt of applause which continued some
time before the chairman could restore
order.
The convention held two sessions and
spent several hours in celebrating over
a platform of principles, which was
prepared by the committee on resolu-
tons after an all-night session. While
several of the planks embraced in the
document as presented to the cOnVen-
ton We're sought to be changed by a
minority of the delegates, with two
exceptions the original draft stands at
the close of the convention as it came
from the committee.
One Of these exceptions is the add
ing Of a few extra words to the tar
if plank. fayoring the placing free all
commodities supplied by any trust OF
monopoly. The other exception is the
adding of an extra plank denouncine
the contributions Of vast sums Of mon
ey for corrupt uses in national and
state affairs. The plank which came
in for the most criticism and consid
cradle debate was that bearing upon
municipal ownership. National Com
mitteeman Ryan fought hard against
the addition of the plank, but when
the deciding vote was called for, the
opponents were apparently very few.
The platform denounces trusts anG
demands their suppression; favors re
vision of the tariff on the principle OF
tariff for revenue. and the putting or

mands national reservation of all Goa

demands a promise with tiXd date OF

pine islands: favors election Of sena
tors by the people, and government
control of all public service corpora
lions. AS to state matters the plat
form favors fixing of railway rates by

ice utilities, the city control Of stree
railway fares and gas rates; favors
2-cent-a-mile law, and laws giving tt
capital and labor impartially thei
rights: also ad valorem taxation Of cor
porations, and primary election laws

Influence of the Bull.

A good milk COW will not be the
mother of good milk cows if the bull
has not also belonged to a race of good
mixers, says American Cultivator.
This is a principle of breeding that de-
serves more attention than has hitherto
been paid to it. Unfortunately statis-
tics have been wanting hitherto. 1t re-
quires time to collect the necessary
data and q herd of some size in order
to compare the milk yields Of cows the
progeny of d particular bull with the
yields of other COWS the descendants of
other bulls. This has been done by
Herr Schrewe Of Kleinoff-Papian. The
experiments were made with 153 COWS,
descendants of four bulls, and their
yields of milk within a period vary
ing from three to six years We're re-
corded, not merely in relation to their
quantity, but also their richness in
butter fat and solids. The results con-
clusively demonstrate the influence of
the bulls on the milk yields of their fe-
male descendants.

Raising Calves In Winter.

Where winter dairying is followed to
any extent attention should be paid to
the raising of calves, says American
Cultivator. At least enough Of the
most promising heifer calves should
be selected to supply the dairy with
fresh stock as wanted. This will be
found better, all things considered, than
to depend on buying Of cows for this
purpose Now that small separators
are so generally used on the farm
where either butter is made or the
cream otherwise disposed of the con-
ditions are much better for raising
good calves than when the milk was de-
livered to the creamery or skimming
station and the skinned milk return
ed, which was usually of very poor
quality for the purpose. This is one of
the greatest arguments in favor Of the
use of separators on the farm.

Here is something that will be new
to most readers, but though surpris-
ing fact about such a familiar thing in
every household as milk, it is none the
less true AS Wallace's Farmer truly
says:
We are so accustomed to milk sour
ing short time after it has been
drawn that many people consider the
souring process to be natural process
that cannot be prevented. This, how
ever, is a mistake If milk is drawn
from the udder through sterile tube,
introduced into a sterile vessel and not
allowed to come in contact with unster-
ilized air, it will keep for several years
without sOuring. This is no theory, but
something that has been done time and
again.
We simply refer to it in this connec-
ton to show that the dairyman is to
blame for excessive numbers OF bacte-
ria getting into the milk. He is the re-
sponsible party if the milk does not
keep for a 1ea sonable length of time.
True, he cannot use sterilized tubes
precautions to secure as clean milk as
possible; to keep his dairy utensils
scrupulously clean and ne\ er allow his
milk to be exposed in the barn or else
where any longer than is absolutely
necessary
The other precautiOn to which fire.
Quent reference has been made in these
columns is the necessity of cooling the
milk Immediately after it is drawn.
The so called aerators now on the mar
ket are we'll adapted for this purpose.
They are constructed so that the milk
when it flows through the coolers is
made to flow out in q thin sheet over
a surface of tin which is cooled from
underneath by means of ice or running
water. This is not only convenient
way of cooling the milk, but it is also
a good way to separate Objectionable
favOrS from it.
In this connection bear in mind that
the closer the dairyman initiates ma
ture in drawing the milk from the cow
the cleaner will be the milk and the
longer it will keep.

USE WORKOUT PRIVATE CARS
Railroad Men Complain Of Doings of
Excursion Party Organizers.

Madison. Wis. June 3O.-The WIS
consin railroad rate commission gave
a hearing in the Chicago, Milwaukee
and ST. Paul and Wisconsin railroads
on the complaint of Don. Hall OF
Stevens Point and others for an order
compelling the railroad companies to
haul private cars over their lines.
The railroad companies claim that
certain spectators have bought prl-
vate cars that have been discarded by
railroads as worn out and organized
excursion parties for trips through
various parts Of the country by giving
lower rates than the railroads them
selves can afford to.
The railroads claim that the use Of
these old, discarded cars is a menace
to the safety of railroad traffic and
that the roads have virtually decided
not to haul them for that reason. At
torney Thomas Fl. Gill represented the
Wisconsin Central and Attorney
Charles E. Woman the Milwaukee
road.
