The following facts about Guernsey
cattle were recently given in Hoards
Dairyman: There have been up to this
date only about 2l.000 females and
about 1000 males ever registered In
the United States and Canada. There
are but very few in England and only
few thousand on the island of Guern-
sey or the total number registered In
North America IL is fair to say that at
least third of them are dead, so that
for fifty years 20 come there Is likely
to be hut little competition between
breeders of these excellent cattle. The
demand for them Is great, as ii Is for
good specimens of other dairy breeds.
There is a growing demand for well
bred dairy cattle among the 100000
farmers in the United States and
Canada. No farmer need hesitate
about engaging in the breeding of such
cattle if he will but comprehend what
he must do to produce a strong,
healthy. we'll bred class of stock.

Caring For Separated Cream.
In my opinion, the best method is to
keep all utensils clean, says a writer
In Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Cleanli-
ness is one of the first laws OF nature,
and too much of ii cannot be applied
in handling cream to bring the highest
market value. BY cleaning l mean at
first, after the cans come from the
creamery. to rinse them with cold wa
ter, wash and scald them with hot wa
ter thoroughly, so as TO destroy all the
bacteria When this is done place the
cans outdoors In rack to drain In the
sunshine. The cream after 1t comes
from the separator should be removed
as soon as possible to a clean, cool and
we'll ventilated room. Cream absorbs
all kinds Of odors, and the butter made
from tainted cream will not be up to
the standard.

as 1t will cause 1t to sour In a few

order to obtain the best results the

NAPOLEON, Code for Women

Napoleon said at st. Helena that MS
glory consisted not in having won
forty battles, but in the civil code ana
in the deliberations of council OF STATE
Savigny and Charles Austin con-
demned the civil code as "a mechani-
cal mixture of the results Of the revo-
luton and the old regime OF Roman
law and the customs" three-fourths OF
its contents having been extracted Dy
craftsmen from a printed treatise.
The code, in word, was not a sub
stantive mass of law, but IAN index
to an immense body of jurisprudence
existing outside of itself"
One Of the dictatOr's Objectionable
hobbies was his desire for the degrade
tion of the civil status of woman, who
is treated by the code as a sickle, de
fenseless, mindless being" When
asked in committee if wifely obedience
was prescribed by old French law, the
first consul sharply replied DO you

obey her husband? Morality has writ

robbed, but these men are not
cracksmen and usually make such
a bungling job that their capture
follows. 1t is the general opinion
of the police that the men engaged
in these depredations come from
the larger cities where they are
schooled in the art of house break
ing. The goods stolen are taken
care Of by confederates who dispose
of them for whatever they can get.
1t would be we'll under these condl-
tions for merchants and dealers,
where they have no organized
police protection, to nse every eau
ton to protect their places Of bust
ness and valuables, and if suspicious
characters are seen hanging around,
guard their stores until they leave
