The most remarkable characteristic
of the Guernsey is the richness of the
animal. This richness is combined
with good size and constitution and
particularly quiet, gentle and tracta-
HE temperament. They are rangy, deep
animals with soft, silky texture Of
skin and creamy color. As four-year-
old they often give sixteen to eighteen
ouorts of milk during the first four or
five months after calving with ordinary
care. They are persistent mixers
Their milk and cream is of marvellous
color and richness and the butter eX-
GELS in grain and favor and golden COL
or that of any other breed.
Their ability to produce butter fat al
a low cost demands careful attention
Of dalrymen. At the New York expert
mont station several Of the dairy
breeds have been carefully tested.

the first two periods of lactation. III

A. Hooker, one OF the prominent
farmers of the fancy country, was in
Troy Tuesday. Mr.. Hooker thinks
his section of Latah county is entitled
to more consideration as to public
roads and bridges and hopes this fact
will not be overlooked by the county
board. He says eastern Lstah county
has never received anything ike fair
share of public funds while no section
is developing faster and is more enti-
tied to assistance from the county. So
far the farmers have been compelled
to construct most OF their public roads
and build their bridges with private
funds according to Mr.. Hooker and
his neighbors and now they think they
should be treated with more liberality.
The block system, maintained as a
safety precaution, is now in force be-
tween Troy and Kendrick. The new
order went into force Sunday. Under
this system two trains cannot be on the
track at the same time and the track
will always be clear for whatever train,
be it passenger or freight, that is given
the right Of way. The wreck here
the Fourth which sent a wild engine
tearing down the hill into Kendrick
just few minutes before the morning
passenger from Lewiston was due in
Kendrick, and which was not the worst
disaster ever known in this section,
simply because the wild engine was
broken in the collision and came to a
stop in the Kendrick yard, caused the
company to fully realize the necessity
OF sacrificing speed for safety.

We find as we visit farm after farm
oil throughout the country that farm
ers are not paying much attention as
10 the cost of production. They are
clamorlng for more price. That is To-
Ultimate, but they do not save the
l,OOO per cent on profits on their own
farm by reducing the cost of produc-
ton, as they might. A man that IL In
the agricultural business has TO study
that question more than anybody else
the daifyman particularly should. and
there Ought to be an aggressive move
ment along the line, and the report of
the man who has charge OF your adj
vanced registry work speaks of the
advantages farm associations bring. If
was Il breeder of Holstein cattle or
any kind OF cattle | would work at II
day In and day out in order that these
farmers should understand that every
COW is not a COW simply because she
stands on four legs and has four teats.
but that they must study the individ-
uallty of the animal; that there are
good and bad cows in their herds. Our
dairy literature is full of this thing,
but the farmers either do not read ii.
or if they do read it they do not read
it understandingly. There is one way
that we can get at the men who do not
have the advantage of the great mass
of literature that Is being given out by
practically doing for them what they
will not do themselves. We have only
got to go to Europe and see how far
ahead of us they are in all they have
done along that line. In Denmark
they have five or six hundred test as.
sociations, where farmers find by mu
tual interests they can get together
Those started two years ago with two
organizations. Six hundred in Den
mark today; 400 in Norway and Swe
den. They have been extended into
Russia and Belgium and Holland anC
many over into England. This veal
we have had a little along that line il
our own country and Canada. We &
back and find nothing in our dairy lit
erature about anything being dom
along that line, but now we find herr
and there a little awakening alonl
this line. We have from Vermont
circular urging the dairymen to go in
to these associations because the dair.
production in Vermont is only III
pounds per cow.-Professor Webste

The Ashland baseball team will leave
to- morrow for Petersburg, where they
cross bats In the afternoon with the

Leake: the former has gone to Elm City,
N. c., to catch for that team. and the
latter goes to Farmville. Trev!llian has
also Joined the Elm City team The loss
of these men will cripple the team some,
but they have some youngsters who arc
fast, and with little experience, will
make valuable men. AT present Third
tasennan Swift has charge Of the team
Cross will BIO placed on first base, and
II his work there Is like that behind the
bat, he will be the best Ashland has
ever had. Cross Is one of the best all
round players In the State, not only be-
ing good catcher. Nbut good hitter and
fast on the bases. He had an offer this
year from tho Southern League. but
turned 1t down on account OF business
here, Ellis, a youngster, will be placed
behind the bat, and the games that he
has caught so far he has given perfect
satisfaction. Bridges the star second

box. The last two games he has twirled,
he has shut his opponents out without q
