Dog Like Unto People.

"The poor dog is tired out" said
Mary as the wagon drove into the
yard, and Towser, covered with the
dust of the road, dropped lolling
and painting upon the gras, runs a
good odd story.
"'Tisn't the journey he had to
take that's tired him." laughed the
farmer. "He used himself up by
zigzagging from one side of the
road to the other, and tendim' to
every thing that didn't concern him
He couldn't pass a gate without
running through it tosee what was
on the other side, nor see a hen
any here along the road without
feeling call on to chase her. Every
dog that barked started him to
barkin, and everything that moved
took him out Of the way to find
out what it was, and where it was
goin'. No wonder he's tired,
But you'll find plenty Of human
bein's that are travelling their lives
through in just the same way. They
amt satisfied with the road marked
out for them. but watch their
neighbours COINS and doin's, and
take charge Of no end Of things
they can't help nor hinder. They
are like old Towser. 1t wears 'em
out. IL they'd follow straight at.
ter the Master. and not invent so
many extra cares for themselves,
the road would't be nigh SO long
nor hard.

Care of Calf Buckets.

Calf buckets may be kept clean by
rinsing and scalding after each feed.
No more grain or hay should be given
than the calves will eat up clean.
Should any remain uneatea it should
be removed before giving any fresh
feed. Calves like salt the same as
any other animal. Warm, sweet milk
given in clean buckets with access to
corn meal or kaffir-corn meal, bright
alfalfa hay, fresh clean water, salt,
plenty of sunlight, shelter and bed
ding in cold weather, shade in sum-
mer and regularity and kindness in
treat nent will usually insure good
thrifty calves that will gain from a
pound and one-half to two pounds
daily. Such calves are the only things
worth the expenditure of time and
money these days of close margins
of profits in any kind of business.

tend the State Farmers Institute
should apply to his local ticket
agent several days in advance of
The date of the meeting, and see
that he has received Instructions
with regard to this rate. Should
any tiehet agent decline~to sell at

Stamping WEIGHT on Cheese.

The practice of stamping the weight
of cheese soon after it comes from
the press is one way of getting ahead
of the consumer. In this dry climate
when a cheese is weighed right from
the press, and again two weeks later
..shrinkage of from ten to fifteen
per cent. will usually be discovered.
Merchants like to handle cheese
stamped with the weight, when they
can sell the whole cheese to one sue
toner for it saves Weighing and also
covers any loss in shrinkage while
the cheese has been kept in the store.
The consumer, however, gets the worst

Railroad Assessment Completed.

A dispatch from Charleston, ap.
pearing in Wednesdays Intelligen-
Ger says:
Tax reform scores again. Today
the State Board of Public Works
completed tile assessment of the
railroad property of the State, and
the total assessment .'foots up in
round figures, Sl77,Oo0,000. The
Same class Of property was assessed
last year at only $36,000,000, and
in 1904 at only $3O,OO0,0OO. The
new assessment therefore is nearly
500 per cent Of the former assess
ment. In view of the fact that the
total real estate assessment OF the
various counties has been increased
about only $50 per cent it will he
seen that the railroad assessments
have been increased more largely
than almost any other kind Of prop.
prty in the state. Yet the increase
is not unfair as is shown by the
fact that the u S census bureau es-
inmates the value of railroad prop.
erty in West Virginia at about
$2OO,OOO,OO0. The assessment of
the state board is therefore well
within fairness and reason.
The Z & O railroad property is
assessed at $SO,OO0,0O0, formerly it
was assessed at about Sl5,0OO,OOO.
The G & @ is assessed at S2S.OO0,OO0
and the Norfolk and Western at
$20,000,0O0. Both were previously
assessed between FIVE and six mil
lions
The board has yet to take up the
assessments of tie telegraph and
telephone companies, express COM
panies, pipe and car lines. The
work will be completed in about a
week and will doubtless show the
same proportionate results as IT,
railroad assessments have.

shinninn Milk In Tank Cars.

The latest idea in transporting milk
is to carry it in tank cars. The prac'
tice grew up in Denmark and for
some months milk has been shipped
long distances and recently all the
way to Berlin in such cars. The tanks
are not boiler plate cylinders, but
wooden casks, each Of 21O cubic feet
capacity, two Of which are fastened to
the floor of a covered freight car.
We all know how the old-fashioned
tin cans are cumbersome, expensive
and subject to damage. BY the use
of tank cars for milk the cost of hand
ling has been greatly reduced and
they are being successfully used on
some of the lines in this country.

RNAMERY
COWS TO KEEP ON THE FARM.
Those That Produce Butter and MIX,
Regardless of Markings.

In this age of progress 1t is sur
prising how few breeders Of pure
bred cattle are keeping records OF
each animal SO they will know the
cows that are producing the most
milk and butter fat. Men Of ex-
perience must admit they cannot tell
how rich milk is simply by looking
at It; neither can they measure the
quantity the cow gives with their
eyes. We must say. there are a few
men who are keeping records OF their
herds, but there are still too many
who are breeding their animals SIM
ply on pedigree and breed character
istics. They pay fabulous sums for
sires and purchase many expensive
cows, but still think they cannot af-
ford to spend the time for finding
out just how much milk and butter
fat their animals are capable OF pro-
ducing. Is 1t practical to purchase
expensive cattle and breed for them
when no one knows whether they are
capable OF producing even 200 pounds
of butter fat in a year? VIII 1t not
pay to spend some time to know
whether your most expensive COW Is
capable of producing 200 to 400
pounds of butter in year? 1t Will
not cost man more than three dol
lars in time. per cow to have a COM
pIete record for whole year Of what
she Is doing.
What folly it is to retain animals
in the herd simply because they are
pure bred and conform to breed char
acteristics when they do not produce
as much as the so-called scrub Will
the time ever come when the breed
ers of dairy stock will refuse to be
governed so much by fads and say,
I'VE want dairy cow that will yield
us the largest profit for the feed con-
sumed, whether she be black or white,
or red or yellow, Or gray or brindle,
or combination of all these colors."
Many a good performing Jersey has
been turned down in the showing
simply because she had nicely nose
and many Guernsey because her nose
was dark.
The question before the dairy breed
er to-day is, not how am to retain
fads and beautiful markings Of dairy
cattle, so much as how am |, through
breeding, to increase the productive
capacity of the COWS that am breed
ing. If we can retain fads and beau
tiful markings and at the same time
increase the performance of the ami
NAL, all we'll and good; but we should
consider the utility of the cows first
and then consider the fancy points.

A reporter spent an afternoon
with Mr. Morton at his delightful
country seat. Ellerslie, upon the
Hudson near Rhineback, the other
day and found MIR Morton the
same genial modest, retiring gen.
tlemen that he has been in all his
public and political association
VERY MODEST.
If modesty can be a fault, MI
Morton is afflicted with 1t in all ex-
aggerated form. He does not like
to talk about himself in any con.
conceivable way.
"What." asked the reporter, "has
impressed you most as a public
event or development for the good
in the history Of the United States
during your long experienceP"
"That is rather hard question
to answer" replied Mr. Morton"but
while haye seen wars and territor-
ial acquisitions and scientific mar
wells accomplished, the one thing
that just now occurs to me as be-
ing most prominent of all was the
time when Cyrus Field completed
the Atlantic Cable. 1t was then
made possible for the President of
United States to have almost inn
mediate communication with the
Queen of England. That has
doomed up big in my memory, and
/ know Of no event which has I'M
pressed me more"
Mr. Morton's name is associated
with success. During all his long
public career as congressman, COY.
ernor, minister to France and Vice
President, and his private career as
a financier and a distinguished per-
son of affairs. there has been no
smlrch on his record. In these
days when "muck-raklng" n is so
prevalent and so pronounced Mr..
Morton's name has in no way been
deGled.
HONESTY UNQUESTIONED.
Mr. Morton's political honesty
has never been called into question
and his influence for good in the
political life Of the United States
has been so CONSPICUOUS as to win
the approval Of all political parties
almost without regard to his own
determined partisanship.
His record Of business undertake
ings also, as we'll as his career as a
statesman, is we'll nigh spotless.
He has accomplishment not merely
by brain force. but by inherent de-
sire to be honest and upright. The
keynote of Mr. Morton's PERSONAL
ty has not been money.getting, al
though in that line Of endeavor he
has been remarkably successful. tie
has won the esteem Of his fellow.
men largely because he has consid-
cred and treated them as fellow
human beings and not as objects of
greed.
When the reporter suggested to
Mr. Morton that physically he
seemed quite az young as he did 20
years ago the former governor of
the Empire State and Vice-Presi-
dent Of the United States replied
"Possibly / look it, but do not
feel it. The laziness of age is on
me. feel indolent and ready tc
rest"
In spite Of Mr. Morton's declara-
ton of laziness he is busy prepar-
ing for his annual European trip
and will sail in the course Of the
next two or three weeks.
His interest in current events is
keen and discriminating.
When Mr. Morton was forced to
an issue and asked what message
he could give to the young Ameri.
