Accessories Of Dairy.

hCCcSSOfbCo VI DoAhJ
Not all dairymen can have the Bah
cock test, but none of them is too poor
to buy scales and weigh the milk. Yes,
this is the old subject, but it certainly
needs repeating until every farmer in
the country who keeps COWS and dis
poses Of the milk in any form, has
learned to tell the robber cows from
the profitable ones. If many of us are
improperly feeding the cows. more of
us are feeding with reasonable cor
rectness, and then losing the profit be-
cause we are feeding cows that do not
give profitable results. An accurate
scale, an account book with each cow
accurately kept and one will know, by
comparison, in six months, which of
his animals belong to the butcher.
Then there is a little machine known
as a feed grinder, which it will pay
to have in the stable and to use for
grinding feed for all the stock. One
can be had for from S25 to $50. which
will grind the feed for a large number
of animals and be good exercise for the
horses. A live man with a little capital
can buy one of these grinders and
make its cost by grinding for neigh
b9rs at a small toll. A German dairy
man worked this plan and obtained. as
toll, nearly enough grain to feed his
own herd of seven COWS. It may be
possible in a progressive neighborhood
to buy one of these machines in COM
bination. Work the two plans sug'
gested, and with the proper feed, the
proper care of the ows and the proper
condition of the stables. n will have
a much better idea how they stand in
the spring than ever before.-Indian,

wisdom OF consolidating IT with the
University. The special advocates OF
separation have insistently cried out
that to merge our Agricultural College
with the University would be to de-
stroy IT. 1t does not seem TO have
destroyed the Agricultural College OF
California To have IL made a depart
ment OF the University OF that State.
This immense bequest OF Mr., Kearney
shows that a man OF great practical
ability. one who was able to accu-
mulatc vast property considered
tho best thing to do with that prop
erty for the public benefit was to be-
queath 1t to the Agricultural College
without saying anything about the de-
taching of that College from the Uni
yersity. If large. practical minds
elsewhere can recognize that the Ag-
ricultural College is not weakeped but
strengthened, by this connection with
the State University. surely Utah would
not be making any great mistake In
making tho suggested consolidation,

DISGUISE is OFF

I'VE have never heard II intimated
that the Lord had any hand In the
capture Of the city by the party which
is now in control. We have heard 1t
said repeatedly, that the Mormon
citizens were a set of chumps' for per-
mittinG the faction that succeeded, TO
gain possession of the municipality
The fault, II any. lies with Mormons'
and nom 'Mormons' alike, for the
strong partlsanship which many of
them allowed to override the general
interest. and which we are OF opinion
need not enter into purely local affairs
Tt was that which prevented the cleo
ton OF popular candidates for city
offices, and opened the way for the new
party to slip in between the regular
parties and capture tho prize II had in
view This is so we'll understood that
we need make no further comments on
the case"
The foregoing is from the organ of
the Mormon church and marks the be-
ginning OF the political instruction for
the coming campaign. No palmer lam
guaee was necessary to the mind OF the
voter susceptible TO ecclesiastical con-
troll for. however lacking in logic In
other affairs, that mind is thoroughly
trained in quick comprehension OF a
political hint from headquarters, In
effect. the instruction is that PARTISAN
ship should be laid aside in local con-
tests In Utah so that all the adherents
of the church-and these include in poll
tiles many who are not members OF the
church-shell be united In one aggre-
CATION TO prevent American party sue
cess.
The American party and The Tribune
welcome this kind of instruction and
welcome the Issue which 1t raises. To
all intents and purposes there has been
just such non-partisan conjunction by
the followers OF the church and their
political allies; for. while the usual
partisan tickets have been placed In
the field, 1t has almost invariably been
the case that one or, the other was
consecrated to election and enough
partisans from the other party were
dedicated and set apart TO vote the pre-
| ferred ballot. 1t is just as well, there
|, fore, to have thezpretense OF PARTISAN
| ship abandoned 1t has been so empty

SO useless. as 10 be nothing less than
IN insult to the intelligence of the con-
| scientious voter. lot of sincere peo-
pie have met In public convention after
earnest and aggressive primaries; In
such convention they have thought
that they were naming men for office
who were assured OF at least the en-
tirety Of partisan support. In reality
they have been largely directed by the
wish OF an insincere majority in such
convention: or. II II has happened that
the genuine parttsans have ruled the
convention there has still been the con-
slant remedy OF that slip" at the
polls. After the tickets have been
placed in the field the ruling powers
OF the church have determined which
candidates would best serve the imme-
diate purpose, and have directed their
voters accordingly. The present in
struction merely lays bare what has
been known for years.
Upon this self-same issue the Ameri-
can party has waeed its two cam
pagns. It did not create tho issue. It
only accepted the facts and sought 10
arouse the citizenship OF this commu-
nifty to o sense OF the futlity OF parti-
san campaign by sincere men against
the bipartisan campaign Of the Nor
mon church-dealine, as the church has
dealt and does deal. with following Of
religious zealots and selfish allies
whose partisa nshp has been either
prctense or so lightly held as to be
subservient TO church ambition or per-
sonal greed for office.
Americans may as we'll understand
now, as to defer the requirement of the
knowledge until later period that the
church has thrown off the thin disguise
which II has been wearing for some
years, and IS now teaching the doctrine
that partisanship has no place In the
local politics of Utah: and, such being
the case, it is the American duty to
fight as citizens, under one splendid
banner. for the establishment of condl-
tions here which will make OF genuine
party feeling and party effort some
thing better than an ecclesiastical delu-
sion and a hierarchical snare,

A GREAT GIFT.

Brief mention has been made here
tofore of the gift of Mr.. NJ. Theo.
Kearney. late OF Fresno. to the Uni
versity of California A circular just
received from Berkeley states that
Mr.. Kearney's gift is the largest gift
or inheritance ever received by that
institution. The bequest Is of his en-
tire property, with the suggestion that
1t be devoted to the establishment OF
the Kearney Agricultural Experiment
Station at Fresno, as an adjunct to
the Department Of Agriculture of the
university. The property consists for
the most part OF land, which includes
his home, the Fruitvale estate, near
Fresno. a ranch of some 5400 acres
There are 3000 acres in alfalfa. 1900
acres of vineyard, hundreds of acres
In citrus and deciduous fruit trees Of
many varieties, ornamental grounds Of
more than 200 acres In extent, con-
tainlng wonderful variety OF trees,
shrubs and flowers, a fine adobe dwell
ing which cost $4,000. very com
plete equipment OF excellent packing
houses, shops, stables. poultry yards.
and other farm buildings and appur-
tenances. The value OF the bequest
is probably between 100000 and
100000.
The University OF California accepts
this vast beQuest apd will use the
property in tho way desired by the tes-
tator The Agricultural College Of
California is an adjunct to the State
University at Berkeley. The offices
of administration and the formal IN
struction Will be at the University
proper, but the experiments carried
on in connection with the Aericul-
tural Department of the University
under this bequest, Will be at Fresno,
and will accord with the desire OF
Mr. Kearncy. President Wheeler OF
connection: While the offices OF ad-
ministration and the formal instruc-
