Careful Milking.

Every mixer thinks he knows how
to milk. but if the cows could ex-
press their opinions they would
probably intimate that few lessons
in the gentle art were not unneces-
sary. 1t is not fair treatment to sit
down to COW and tug and haul on
her until she steps around in the
stall and acts as if she were badly
hurt. Sometimes a COW will stop
eating and wait until the ordeal is
over before she will resume her
meal. The COW that does that is not
comfortable. and an uncomfortable
COW will not do her best for her
owner. Some men have a way of
milking that so pleases the COW that
she clearly shows she enjoys 1t.
These are the men whose method
should be copied. Observing them,
we see that they never shout at,
strike nor otherwise ill-treat their
cows. They sit down quietly, take
hold of the cows teats gently, no
matter how much of a hurry they
may be in, and begin to draw the
milk without pressing too hard, for
they know they are touching her at
a tender point; then they keep stead
lily at it until the last drop IS out. 1t

CALIFORNIA SAlTON SEA
Threatens to Extend Over
Vast Territory
Unless Means Are Taken to d.
vert Course of Colorado
River.

VINO Is responsible Tor the crea-
ton of the Salton Sea, in Southern
California, which already covers an
area of 400 square miles, and threat
ems to spread over 1000 square
miles if some means of diverting the
Colorado river cannot be devised.
This question is perplexing Next
can and American diplomatists. but,
for the time being, diplomatic rep
reservations have been suspended,
and both the United States and Mex
leo are bending every effort to
check the river, which has been ac-
cidentally turned from its course
through the efforts of the California
Development Company to irrigate
lands in Northern Mexico and
Southern California.
Interesting complications of an in
ternational nature are threatened
when the two Governments attempt
to settle their differences and make
good the damage which has been
wrought by diverting the Colorado
from its channel. The California
Development Company originally
tapped the river below Yuma, Ariz.,
and carried water from Arizona
through a canal into Northern Mex
leo and back into great valley in
Southern California.
In 1904 it was found that this ca
nal was inadequate to supply water
required for the irrigation project.
and a Mexican corporation, connrol-
led by California Development Com
pany was authorized by Mexico to
take water from the Colorado in
Mexico. a short distance south of
Yuma.
The irrigation canal was only one
fourth Of a mile from river at the
point in Mexico where a ditch was
cut through the sandy bank of the
river connecting with the great irri-
cation canal.
No gates were provided, and with
the river diverted from its channel,
cut away its bank, and went raging
into the lowlands Of California far
below the sea level. Repeated at
tempts have been made to turn the
river back into its old channel. but
without success.
Several small towns are now be-
meath the waters which the Colorado
has poured into the basin and IN
many places only the tops of the
railway telegraph poles indicate
where the roadbed formerly was.
In the lowest part of the sink the
water is now seventy feet deep.
Failure to control the river would
give this country and Mexico a lake
comparable to the great lakes separ-
ating the United States and Canada.
At present the lake is greater than
any body of water wholly within the
United States, except Salt Lake and
Lake Michigan.

! WHAT WE OWE TO INSECTS.
They Are of the Greatest Benefit to
Growing Flowers.

Prof. Darwin said that If 1t had not
beer for insects we should never have
had any more imposing or attractive
flowers than those of the elm, the hop
and the nettle. Lord Avebury COM
pares the work of the insect to that OF
the florist. He considers that just as
the florist has by selection produced
the elegant blossoms of the garden, SO
the insects, by selecting the largest
and brightest blossoms for fertiliza-
ton, have produced the gay flowers of
the field. Prof. Plateau, of Client, has
carried out series of remarkable en-
periments on the ways of insects visit
ing flowers. He considers that they
are guided by scent rather than by
color, and in the connection he is at
variance with certain British natural
lists. Whatever may be the attraction
In flowers to insects-as yet, 1t ap-
pears undefned-it is certain that the
latter visit freely all blossoms alike,
making no distinction between the
large, bright-colored ones and the less
conspicuous blossoms like those of the
currants, the lime, the planetree, the
nettle and the willow.

To Test Rate Board Order.

The 500 Railroad company has
brought suit to test an order issued
by the Wisconsin railroad rate COM
mission compelling it to stop certain
of it's trains at creamery station be-
tween Deronda and Nye, in Polk
county The rate commission heard
arguments on several petitions for
improved train service, station facili
ties, and lower rates on carload lots
of freight. The Perry company asked
that the Ahnapee and Western be
compelled to build and maintain a
station at Forestville, Door county.
The petitioning company was repre-
sented by Frank r. Hall, of Madison,
and the railroad by David Decker Of
Sturgeon Bay. ]. M. Mcfarland asked
that the Northwestern be compelled
to stop certain of it's trains at Eden,
Fond du Lac county. The question of
rates on carload lots of freight was
discussed by William Ellis, special
representative, and H. E. Pierpont,
assistant general freight agent of the
Milwaukee road, and H. M. Pierce,
general agent of the Omaha. The
commission took all three of these
matters under advisement. The Pc
tition of the Wolf River Paper and
Fiber company for a reduction in coal
rates from the ports along Lake Mich
igan to Shawano was to have been
heard by the commission but the mat
ter was settled at conference.

and Dispatches Others with
Rifle Butt

Houston, Mo.-Barney Parsons, a
farmer, his wife and three children
were murdered Friday near Lickin,
Mo.
A farmer named Hamilton has been
arrested, charged with the murder,
and is said to have confessed.
Parsons had sold his farm and crops
to Hamilton, and it is alleged that
the men quarreled over the terms of
the sale.
Parsons and family set out from
their former home in a covered wag-
on, bound for northern Missouri.
The body of Parsons was found shot
to death and the mother and three
children had been dubbed to death.
Joda Hamilton, the alleged murder
er, is in the Houston Jail, strongly
guarded to prevent lynching. He is
said to have made a complete confes-
sion, of which the following is sum-
mary:
At timber bordered place in the
road, as Parsons and his family were
driving along, they were confronted
by Hamilton, armed with shotgun.
Deliberately aiming at Parsons, Ham
ilton discharged both barrels of the
gun, and Parsons fell to the ground.
Hamilton then advanced upon him
and dubbed him over the head with
the butt Of the gun several times. He
then beat the head of the mother al
most to pulp, and after killing her
dubbed the three children to death.
The bodies of all five were then
loaded into a wagon and taken to Big
Piney creek, about one mile distant
from the scene of the murder, and
dumped into the creek
A party of fishermen from Houston
discovered the bodies of two of the
children Saturday about noon. A
further search brought to light the
bodies of both parents, and word was
sent to Houston. The body of the
other child was found Sunday.
Shortly after noon the news had
been received there Hamilton rode
into town on a mule that was recog-
nized as one that belonged to Par
sons. He was arrested and locked
up in Jail. Parsons, who came to
Texas county two years ago, from the
northern part of Missouri, was quiet,
industrious farmer, and never had
trouble of any sort Hamilton has
also been favorably known over the
entire county.

which have been made for coopera-

ton. The appropriation of $4,000
made by the last congress will be
used to continue and enlarge the work
which for eight years has been con-

there are 100000 bushels of barley
raised annually in the state it is read

Rates Declared Unreasonable.

Rates Declared. Unreasonable.
In a decision of far-reaching impor-
lance to the lumber interests of the
state the railroad rate commission
held that the present rate on waste
lumber" such as slab wood, and short
pieces of timber used in making boxes,
was unreasonable and orders the va
rious railroads of the state to meet in
conference and fix rate which will
be lower, and satisfactory to the COM
mission. In the event that the rail-
roads fail to fix a suitable rate the,
commission will take the matter into
its own hands, hold hearing, and es-
tablish a rate which will be ENFORCED.
lumber rate has heretofore been ap-
piled to slab wood. This is the giSt
of an opinion which may ultimately
bring a reduction on the price OF
culled lumber which is used extensive
ly for kindling wood in the state. The
decision is the result of complaint
of W. j. Campbell, lumber broker, of
Oshkosh, who was granted hearing
before the commission about three
weeks ago. The commission held
that the application of lumber rate
to the material in question is unrea7
sonable and that the carriers desist
in the future from charging such a
rate. That the railroad companies
carrying products of this kind in Wis.
consin enter into a conference for the
purpose of adopting uniform rate
for the product mentioned, and that
the event of their failure to arrive at
an agreement satisfactory to the COM
mission, this commission, after due
hearings, will promulgate such uni
form rate and classification on such
product" Likewise the flour interests
of the state were benefited by a de-
cision of the commission, when the
Minneapolis, st. Paul & Sault Ste
Marie railroad was given 80 days to
build 600 feet of track which will con-
meet the factory of the Osceola Mill &
Elevator company of Osceola, Polk
county, with the lines of the railroad.
The first petition of the milling COM
pany was dismissed by the commits
sion because it developed at the hear
ing that the point of junction asked
for was outside the yard limits. 1t
developed at the hearing, however,
that the station grounds were greatly
congested and there was not enough
side-track to afford the public ade-.
quate facilities. From this informa-
ton the commission instituted on its
own motion an investigation and or
dered that the road construct the side
track within 80 days.
