THE NEED OF GOOD COWS.


The Massachusetts, State board of agri-
culture In It's crop report for June, recent
Issued. Includes an article on Some
causes affecting the pronts OF dairying."
by r. s. Cooley, professor of animal hus-
bandry and dairying at the Massachusetts
agricultural college. In opening the ar
ticle Prof Cooley says: TT Is hardly ne
cessary to assert that %dairyfnan are deriv-
ing less profit from their Investments and
lower wages for their labor than they
would like, or even than that which a
good business should lead it's patrons to
expect. The purpose of this paper is to
notice briefly a few of the things that
stand in the way of the best success of
dairy farmers" The most important fac
tor in profitable dairying, says Prof Coo
ley, Is good cows. No particular type or
breed can be recommended for all con-
ditions and the dairyman must study his
situation and ascertain which breed is
best adapted to his purpose. An analysis
of the results of a number of experiments
Is given. showing the wild difference In
profit between individuals In typical
herds. All admit the value of better cows
and the problem is how to get them.
Many OF those who supply milk for the
city markets are so situated tn 1t they
cannot raise their own cows and must
replace their herds by purchase. 1t is ex-
tremely difficult for them to obtain good
COWS in this way, owing to carelessness
in breeding by those who have the COW
for sale.
Prof Cooley urges that a pure bred sire
be used in all diaries where calves are
reared, pointing out that where n common
bull is used the average price received for
heifers at maturity is only s32, while the
choice progeny of superior stock will COM
mand $50 a head and often more. Here
is an opportunity to largely increase this
profits of the dairy at n comparatively
slight expense. Taking up the subject OF
feeding. the writer urges that feeds be
produced on the farm as far as possible
Usually the best practice is to buy only
feeds rich in protein and raise the coarse
folders on the farm. Cows fed on starva.
tion raticrs yield no profit and those
overfod with expensive feeds are also
kept at n loss. The point of highest prof
in feed must he determind by experiment
and Calculation, and varies with the 10
cality and circumstances OF the feeder
The quality Of the milk varies with thu
breed. period of lactation and Individual
and very little with the feed. The ia.
content of the first milk drawn is ahou
2 per cent and that Of the ~"strippings"
to 10 per cent. For this reason careful
milking is Of the utmost Importance
Many Illustrations Of this ract are given
In concluding the article. Prof Coole,
strongly urges that It IS important Il
know the cows. and says that the mill
scales and the Babcock tester are neces
sary agencies for obtaining such know
ledge. He advocates the forming of mill
testing associations among the farmers
whore the results can be obtained by co
operation at a minimum Of expense. ant
gives figures showing that such associa
tions are practical and comparatively in
expensive to the Individual.

In tho city of Santiago much damage
was done. Many public buildings, par

buildings of Congress, the municipal
buildings, the normal school. the courts,
the Peruvian legation, the residence Of
President Riesco, the central market, the

The lines of the electric tramway sys-
TEN and the electric Night wires were
short circuitcd, i~nterrupting street car
travel and plunging the city into dark

The scene at the hospitals and prisons
during the excitement were distressing
in the extreme. The prisoners tried to
escape from the jails in the hope that
they might reach a place of safety and
prison guards were obliged to fire into
the air in order to intimidate and quiet
their stricken charges.
Several return shocks of slight intensity
have served to continue the state of public

GOVERNMENT RESTORING ORDER.
The government has taken steps to re-
store order. An inspection of all houses
left standing has peen ordered and direc-
tons have been issued for the distribution
of relief supplies to those in need. A
troop of cavalry has been sent to re-
establish communication with Valparaiso.
A traveller who came here by express
train tells that when the train was near
Las Vegas, about half way between Val
paraiso and Santiago. the cars were sha-
ken violently and the engine nearly left
the track.
All lines of railway to The north and
the line to Talca are greatly damaged,
In the city of Santiago n majority OF
the victims of the disaster were residents
of the poorer sections whore many small
houses were thrown to the ground.
Several deaths from nervous excite

Dispatches from Valparaiso to the AS

A GOOD FOOLISH STANZA.
OFrom the Hartford Times.)


A deliberately frivolous verse about
cucumbers and their effects on the human
system was printed recently by the Bal
timore Sun, and as sometimes happens
another paper took up the theme and
added a stanZa of it's own, then another,
and so on. They are now too many to
print, but one of the additions Is worth
a place by itself. The subject had en-
larged so as to include melons, AND
here Is the verse which Is really the
neatest in the whole collection:
All of which tends to remind us
OF those times Of youthful frolic,
When by day we ate the melon
And by night we had the collie.
