To Estimate the Value Of a Cow.

In undertaking TO place an esti-
mate on the value Of COW the
exact amount of milk and butter
fat produced should be determined.
Most people when estimating
the value Of a COW will be largely
influenced by the statements made
by the owner, of the number Of
gallons of milk she will produce.
This information is usually very
misleading as most persons do not
take into consideration the foam in
milk, and again, the party wishing
TO sell COW will sometimes exag-
gerate as to her production, as we'll.
The milk from a COW as usually
measured should not be given any
consideration but to know the exact
amount of milk COW gives it
should be weighed with an accurate
scale; foam adds nothing to the
weight of milk. When the milk
from a COW p weighed morning
and evening then her daily produc-
tion can be estimated, but it is bet
ter to know the weight of milk
produced for a number of consecu-
tive milkings and TO take an average
of these for determining her daily
production.
After determining the amountof
milk produced per day in pounds
and ounces, then one should know
the average butter fat contained
there in; this can be determined by
taking a sample from each milking
and from about five consecutive
mllkings, putting these samples to-
gether and determining the per
cent of butter fat in this composite
sample; this will be an average per
cent Of fat for the time during
which the samples were taken.
From the average daily production
of milk and the average per cent
of fat the average amount of fat
produced daily can be ascertained.
As six pounds of butter fat thus
determined will make about seven
pounds of butter the value of the
milk for butter making purposes
can be determined. As butter fat
Is the foundation of cream, the
value of the milk put into cream
can be estimated. While this
methed does not gvie any idea of
the amount of milk and butter fat
a COW will produce during her
milking period, it does show how
much she is producing in butter or
cream for the time being.
No dairyman should be without
this record of each one of his COWS
at any time. 1t will enable him to
know when COW is not producing
an amount which justifies her keep
and she can then be replaced with
a better COW. Where records are
kept as has been suggested at the
end of the milking period the
amount of milk and the amount of
butter fat from each COW can be
estimated and her value for that
period pretty closely determined.

First Stage Coach Into Denver

From the Outing Magazine
On the 18th OF May. 1859; Denver turned
out TO welcome the first through coach of
what was destined TO grow into the "Over-
land Mall" an enterprise which, for sheer
American pluck and daring, must be for
ever linked with the fame OF the Pony
Express"
Red shirts drifted TO the outskirts of the
hamlet and dotted the hills around. Hard
faced bartenders made ready for the hot
test night that ever tore the camp loose"
The artillery of holster and saddle boot
was uniimbered for an ecstatic fusillade.
There was lively betting in dust and mug
gets that the first through stage had been
gathered in by Indians, with takers rs
eager to stake their faith that the scalps
OF driver and guard would come through
intact.
At length a swirl of dust showed far
down the trail 1t grew into a yellow cloud
that crept toward the eager hamlet. Then
SIX mules stretched out on the gallon,
emerged from this curtain and behind was
the numbering, swaying stage come safely
through. on time, and Denver was in touch
with the world where men wore white
shirts and lived in real houses. The cheers
that roared welcome to this heroic enter
prise were echoed In every western town
which hoped and longed for Ink of It's
own with the home country, way back
east"

Uncle Josh Spruceby.

When a person or number of per-
sons try to do right-let their man
ners be ever so iudierous, their dia-
lect ever so uncouth in the end they
will impress the people or communi-
ty in which they live with the sim
certify of their motives. In the end
they will win out. just the simple,
plain and unvarnished story of the
struggle for success of such people is
often a pathetic as we'll as humorous
hecital.
The above is probably an honest
criticism of ''Uncle Josh Spruseby''
for the reason that the drama is a
true blending of the funny and the
serious, just as represented by the
lives of some persons. The story is
dramatic for the reason that il is fill
ed with stage surprises, at the same
time it is simple story because it
deals with only simple people.

GOODING's MEETING
Tells the People There Is No
Polygamy.

Governor Cooling and Col. Allen
Miller addressed fair sized audience
at the Auditorium last evening. r.
n. Dunn and the republican eandi-
ate for state superintendent of schools
were on the platform and A. v.
Chamberlin presided.
After threatening the people with
the defeat Of the county division bill If
they failed to elect the republican
legislative ticket he put saIye ON the
raw spots by stating that he himself
was in favor of division; but he
could not tell what the legislature
would do. He to X credit for all that
had been accomplished since state
hood In the way of progress and told
the people what great, good govern
or be had been.
he said that after thorough inves-
tigatingion he had failed to fnd one
case Of polygamy In southern Idaho.
He had taken special pains to look
these matters up and the Mormons
were class Of people with a We. y
high standard Of citizenship.
The governor took up the matter Of
the trial of the murder Of ex- Govern.
or Frank Steunenberg. The speaker
recltes acts from the beginning of
the famous case to the present stand
ing, giving dates when Harry Or
chard made his confession, in which
he implicated the labor leaders, and
also gave The date of the confession OF
Steve Adams, in which he also impli-
Gated the labor leaders in the case.
Governor Gooding said he had been
vilified aud misrepresented in every
act of the c, Sc. and that the state Of
Idaho would see that these men were
given a fair trial.
The governor spoke briefly on the
forest reserve question. in which he
said he was opposed TO a single acre
of the land in north Idaho being put
in a reserve, and severely criticized
the work of Forester Pinchot, stating
that he had gone entirely too far with
his work in Idaho, and that be, with
Senator Hepburn, intended to fight
the matter until it was adjusted salts
factorily to the people of the state.
In the next breath he ealogized
President Roosevelt, who is the head
and sole authority by which forest re.
serves can be created. In southern
Idaho he tells the people he is in fav
or of forest reserves and points to has
deal with Pinchot by which he claims
that he secured for the state much
valuable land outside the reserve in
lieu of that in tie reserves. Forest
reserves are one of Rooseyelt's hob.
