Hints For killing IL In small

We have had but one patch OF Can

fourth of an acre. We killed this in
the dry year Of 1894 by hoeing 1t off
every Saturday. The operation will be

Dairy Talk Of Today

A milk sheet should he in every
barn and the cows tested regularly
and the mixers made known of the
results. All these things have n tend
ency toward interesting them in their
work and are productive of better re-
suits.
The MIX Herd.
The time has come for all dairymen
to look well to their herds to see that
stitution, and to that end production
must be placed secondary, and every
thing that tends to the development OF
strength and constitution must be
made Of the first Importance. Given
these qualities, from good foundation
stock, performance must surely fol-
low.
Breed Tests.
The figures given here are merely
types. They do not mean that every
COW of the breed will yield milk Of
this grade. Some Jerseys will not go
above 81, and some Holsteihs will do
better than 4.6. But as a whole the
tests fairly represent the fat content OF
the milk of the breed: Holsteins, 1926
per cent; Ayrshires, 81; Shorthorns,
8.s; Devons, A; Jersey, 5; Guernsey, 8.

Field Weeds and Others.

Farmer Let us get rid of these-pull
up, cut off, Danish the weeds, In SO far
as they affect our success.
But the real, universal, hopeless
dairy weeds are the cows that make
125, 100, 14O pounds of butter year,
the ones the thoughtless farmer owns,
feeds and milks. They are his dairy
sinking funds; they sink his labor, his
profits and his hopes. What train loads
of these would go to Packingtown IL
we would all weed them out at once.
Train the Heller.
Heifers should be taught to "hoist"
the first thing, as 1t puts the udder in
a better position to be handled. Cows
that have not been taught this, when
they come to develop large udders and
are heavy mixers, are quite an annoy
ance to the mixer. especially with
cows that do not carry the udder well
forward.
Careless Dafrymen.

Butter and Cheese

Within the last few years the custom
of coating the cheese with an imper-
vious layer has been suggested, with
the object mainly of preventing the
development of mold. For this pur-
pose paraffin has been found TO be the
most suitable agent. The application
of such a layer to the cheese not only
prevents the growth of mold spores by
excluding the air, but materially re-
tards the rate at which the cheese loses
its moisture. Paraffined cheese. there
fore, dries out much more slowly than
the untreated product, and the appli-
cation of this method is of particular
service in the handling Of the smaller
types of cheeses, which have relative
~ larger superficial area exposed to the
air BY covering the cheese with
paraffin the total loss Of moisture can
be reduced several pounds per hundred.
In comparative tests cheeses covered
with parafiin were entirely clear, while
the others were more or less heavily
coated with mold.
The Best Keeping Butter.
The conclusion from recent expert
ments i'm the storage of butter by the
dairy division of the national depart
ment of agriculture is that light salt
ing and low temperatures and the use
of cream received at the creamery in
a sweet condition give much the best
results for storage butter. Other
points of interest are that butter in full
cans and tubs at the lower tempera-
lures scored about the same. At the
higher temperatures there was a slight
difference i'm favor of cans. Butter In
full cans kept better than that in cans
only partially full. On the whole. but

best. both when in storage and after

10 Honor of Lincoln.

Skowhegsn's frat formal observance
of Abraham Lincoln's birthday occurred
at Hartwell Hall, Monday evening, and
was of a character BETTING the memory
OF that great American. The thought
which led to the gathering originated
with Gen. Isaac Dyer and all arrange
ments we're the result of his efforts. II
was gratifying to note the presence of
many school children among the audi
enee and they must have received, in
common with their elders, from the
brief, out impressive addresses given
upon Lincoln's life and character, i'm
pressious that will help to make them
ideal citizens. Lincolns picture looked
out upon the audience from the stage
and with it were shown pictures of the
cabin in which he was born and sec.
ond cabin, which was afterwards his
home, all draped with the American flag
General Dyer acted as chairman of the
meeting. Prayer was offered by the
Rev II. +. Huse, after which addresses
were made by Rev. Geo. Merriam, Hon
IS j Walton. Rev. b B. Merrill and
Rev. r A. Leitch Each speaker gave
his own Impressions of the great war
time president and the result was an ex-
ceediDgly interesting review OF Lincoln's
life with the dominating influence il had
upon the times in which he lived Dur
ing MIR. Merriam's remarks he spoke of
the desire on the part of many that
Lincoln's birthday should be made a
national holiday and asked all to rise
who shared in this sentiment.

cottages, hotel and railroad property
were damaged to the extent of $4,000

The storm reached the zenith of its
fury between 6 and o'clock this morn
ing. H .ndreds of cottages received
their intimation of danger upon awak-
ing this morning to find breakers
sweeping clear across the beach to the
sound and rolling high upon the main
land, two miles beyond.
Five trolley cars brought number f
early risers across the sound on the
trestle by which it is reached, while
the waves swept the treStle.
Those left at the beach were afraid to
cross the trestle, which gave way i'm
mediately after the last car reached the
mainland.
The storm increased in fury until
noon, when the rescue work was begun.
Surf boats were sent across the chan
mel at great risk, bringing first the
women and children, then later the
men, the last of the number being
brought over at o'clock this afternoon.
Sheriff Frank H. Steadman was

who closed the bar rooms and patrolled

DENVER, Colo, Sept. 17.-Philip B.
Stewart. recently nominated for gov
ernor of Colorado on the Republic n
ticket, tonight sent letter to the Re
publican state chairman, declining the
ncmina tion.
While the letter does not state it in
so many words, the reason Mr.. Stewart
declined to run is on account of the
placing of Justice William NJ Gabbert
on the ticket as candidate for re-elec-
tion to the supreme bench. Before the
convention Mr.. Stewart advised against
the nomination of Mr.. Gabbert. When
the nomination was made Stewart was
not present, being i'll at his hotel.
He did not learn that Gabb t $ name
was on the ticket until Sunday, and it
IL said he declared to State Chairma n
Vivian that he would not run on the
same ticket with Populist."
A very diplomatic letter was sent to
Chief Justice Gabbert, who was elected
to the supreme bench six years ago as
a Populist.
Gabbert is said to have declared he
would not withdraw if the entire Re-
publican ticket refused to run with
him. Mr.. Stewart then gave the Re
publican state central committee unit
10 o'clock tonight to get Gabbert off
the ticket.
AS no move was apparently made in
that direction he withdrew.

GERMANY SEEKS TO
AVOID TARIFF WAR
BY Associated Press.

by Associated Press.
OYSTER BAY. L. l., Sept 17.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt today received delega-
tion of manufa ctures from Germany
who sought relief from what they con-
sidered restrictive legislation in Ameri-
can custom houses against imports
from Germany.
President Roosevelt referred them to
the treasury and state departments,
and indicated that he would receive a
report regarding these complaints from
officials Of these departments.
The delegation left Immediately for
Washington. After the interview with
the president G. Leo Ziffen, who headed
the delegation, said tariff war by
Germany and the United States was
avoided last July because it had been
represented that American customs
regulations would be so amended in
favor of German imports as to do away
with the vexation complained of.
Up to this tin = he said. no step
seemingly had been taken. He said the
agrarian mem bers in the reichstag fa-
vored tariff war against America,
and that the failure to amend the OBJ
noxicus regula tions would serve as an
excellent excuse for the beginning Of
this war next July.
