an individuality in the dairy COW, just
as there Is In men, in dogs or In trottlng

individual ability Of dairy COWS as there
Is in the ability nf men. and that is
where many dairy farmers fail-il
studying the Individual cow. We do
business with the herd and pay atten-

DOG REMEMBERED ERRAND
Had to Have Paper for His Master
and Committed Highway
Robbery

new and true addition to tho
endless string of dog stories is told
by a correspondent in country vii
lage on the continent.
The village innkeeper had trained
his dog to go every day at a certain
hour and fetch his masters paper
from the office where 1t was printed.
One day on his way home the dog
met an old enemy; the two engaged
in nght, and the newspaper came
TO grief. When his foe had skunk
away the victor, with an anxious look
la his eyes, stood oyer the tatters,
At that moment gentleman hold
ing foreign paper came into view,
walking ieisurely along, and the dog
at once, and without a sign OF asita'
tion, took hold OF 1t and carried 1t
to his master, whose astonishment
at receiving foreign paper gave way
to pride and vainRlory when the Vie
tim OF this example OF shameless
highway robbery, who had followed
the dog. laughingly explained the
situation.

ON GREAT MEM.
BY HUGH McHUon
IGB0RGB ". HOBART

Uncle Peter IS one of the gamest
little chunks of humanity that ever
looked the world in the eye, but when
he heard the edict put forth by Dr.
Osler the old man went overheard with
splash.
He was under water a long time.
He thought the Bogey Man had him
for sure.
Uncle Peter felt that it would no
longer be possible for him to pass a
drug store without some young fellow
rushing out with handkerchief full
of chloroform and yelling: Here
you old chestnut! here's where you get
1t in the nose!"
In the dark watches of the night
Uncle Peter used to wake up covered
with cold perspiration. because he had
dreamed that Doc Osler was pounding
him on the bald spot with baseball
bat after having poured hair dye all
over his breakfast food.
AT last Uncle Peter got so nervous
advised him to write to the doctor.
ASK him if he won't commute your
sentence because you live in the coun-
try and are a commuter," l suggested
The doctor replied to Uncle Peter
at once, and will try to translate his
letter from Johns Hopkins into pure
English, as near as 1 can remember:
Johns Hopkins. To-Day.
Dear Uncle Peter: When cut
loose with the observation that men
were all in at 40 and rauss mittim at

"The exceptions include you, Uncle
Peter. and myself also.
"It could not apply in your case,
Uncle Peter, because have known you
since we lived together in Baltimore
many moons ago, and / realize that
the years have only improved you,
Uncle Peter, and that to-day you are a
bigger shine than you ever were.
Zone point about my observation
which seems to have escaped the eyes
Of the general public, but which you
suggest SO delicately in your letter,
Uncle Peter. will be found in the beau
t1ful words of the poet who says:

Don't mention it, Uncle Peter, for
what | tell you is confidential, but do
you know that my little bunch of re-
marks, which cost me nothing anyway
because was invited to the banquet
have given me more widespread ad-
vertisement than Andy Carnegie can
get for Is public libraries?
You know, Uncle Peter. there is
nothing in the world so easy to make
stand up on it's hind legs as the gem

But the trick is, Uncle Peter. to
know what to say and when to say it,

Then the newspapers heard about
1t and where formerly in their col
umns was nothing but dull and harm
less war news, my picture began to
blossom forth like the flowers that
bloom in the spring, ira la!
Pretty soon, Uncle Peter, every
man, woman and child in the world
began to know me and couldn't walk
out in the public streets without be-
ing snap-shotted or bowed to, or
barked at, according to the age OF
those present.
"Of course, we all know. Uncle
Peter that my theory has wormholes

EARLY Breeding.
1t is probable that the intensified
ton of any quality in the breeding of
domestic animals IS not attained with
out Il sacrifice Of something else.
Sometimes the sacrifice Is one that can
we'll be made and sometimes it Is one
that we would prefer not to make, but
in any event we must pay the cost OF
the quality we desire 10 exalt. That
early breeding does reduce size and
scale Is altogether probable. but these
are qualities that are not particularly
essential in the dairy COW, and the
early breeding is attended with cOuse-
quences much more important 10 the
dairyman than any consideration OF
mere size. 1t il possible. too, that con-

iht Jilchaan experiment station has
br hn u very important line of work
and ono which deserves wide attention.
ln tie fall of 1904 it purchased twenty
grade ShOrthoru cows. None of the an.
inals contain large percentage OF
Shorthorn blood. yet they have enough
TO give tue evenness and uniformity
sought i'll foundation herd The first
years report of this grade herd says:
"ln maintaining IL grade dairy herd
rt this institution two chief ends are
sought--lirSt and foremost, to show OBJ
jectiYely how the common dairy stocks
of this state can be improved as tn
quantity aud quality Of milk produc-
tion by rational aud continued sys-
ten of up grading, and, second, to show
the effect Of careful feeding and man
agement upon average, common or
even inferior dairy animals. While the
stocking OF farms with pure bred dairy
animals is desirable and strongly adj
vised. 1t Is generally recognized that
the great mass of improvement among
dairy cattle must come from intelll-
gent up grading, In selecting the foun-
datlon stock for grade dairy herd at
tention was given first to the health
and general physical characteristics Of
each individual selected.
For breeding purposes the herd Is
divided into four groups or subherds
of five animals each. one of these
groups Is t0 be bred continuously to
Jersey bulls and the female progeny
bred in the same line another group to
be bred continuously to Holstein bulls
and the female progeny in the same
line. The third group Is to be bred in
the same way to Guernsey bulls and
the fourth to Shorthorn bulls"
The average results of the herd are
as follows: MIX. 6.259 pounds: butter,
299 pounds; cost Of feed $33.0I value
of products. $69.65, and profit Of over
feed, $3G5S.
The poorest COW gave in the year
1905 pounds OF milk, forty.eight
pounds Of butter and was kept ut loss
of $9SS.
The most profitable COW gave S113
pounds of milk. 422 pounds of butter
and returned net profit over feed
consumed of S60.81.
Despite the logic of these facts,
which are different in no way from
hundreds OF other Instances where rec
ords have been kept, how few very
few, farmers and breeders of pure bred
cattle think that it pays to test, says
Hoard's Dairyman. What can a man
do that will pay better?

A CONVINCING Argument,


Lots OF dairy farmers are hating by
the waysidr, wondering If they had
better build Silo, says Hoard's Dairy
man. One thing Is certain-they will
never know any more about 1t where
they are. The Ohio experiment station
put the question to the following test:
They fed one LOT OF cows a heavy 81
lage ration and another lot heavy
grain ration. The result WAS in favor
OF the ensilage fed COW. AS l.. w
Lightly says IN the National Stockman
Can We make more dollars handling
the earn grain by way ot the crib or

earliest stage we usually cut it up in

or the Ohio experiment. which WAS
that the ensiluge fed cows made their
butter for i3 cents u pound. while the
COWS fed dry fodder hay aud heavy
grain ration charged % cents pound.

is TO let them get their growth, at least
three years. Keep them in separate

months old. II permitted TO bring
calves before they have their growth

Poor Lo Becomes Rich.

The little tribe of Quapaw Indians is destined to be the richest in the world. About two years ago an adopt ed member of the tribe was digging a well in the Quapaw nation about four miles south of Baxter Springs, Kan sas, when he struck what proved to be a rich body of jack" or zinc ore. This was quickly developed, and over this well now stands a large concen- trating plant producing weekly 10000 pounds of zinc and 1000 pounds of pure lead.
 Many thousand acres of adjoining lands have been leased from the h. dians by white men. Over two hun dred drill holes have been sunk, and in nearly every instance lead and zinc have been found in paying quantities. The field is not only large one, but is richer than anything in the famous Joplin district of southwestern Missou- ri and southeastern Kansas.-Four- Track News.
