PURE WATER FOR COWS.
A Matter Which Has Very Close
Relationship to the Quality
Of Milk.

Most of us realize the Importance
of providing enough water for dairy
COWS, but some neglect even this and
let the COWS get along on half rations
OF course the cows take it out of their
board by not giving as much milk as
they would do were they better fed
and cared for. Few of us, however,
consider the necessity of having pure
water. 1t is as important that the
COWS have pure water as that we have
it in the house.
Impure water will affect the health
and product of the COW as quickly as
it will human beings, possibly quick
err, for they drink more and take no
other beverage. Cows in milk will
drink close to seven gallons of water
day and some of them will take
much more. The water supply should
be the first consideration on the
farm. 1t is of more Importance than
feed or stables, and no reasonable
effort should be neglected to provide
an abundance of the best quality.
For winter dairying a self regulat-
ing supply in the stable is very con-
venient and profitable The COWS
have the water before them whenever
they want it and they will drink little
and often.
But if the trough is in the yard and
the COWS must be turned out to drink
let them out imme diately after break
fast. Like humans they want to drink
as soon as through eating. It will
make difference of at least a quart
of milk per cow if they have water
then or are kept in the stable two or
three hours before watering, says
Farm and Home. In herds of 80 or
more COWS it will pay to have two or
three watering troughs or at least a
large round tank in the middle Of the
yard. Always avoid placing the wa
ter trough in or near corner. This
position frequently results in the loss
or injury of critter by hooking.

FEEDING THE DAIRY CALF.
The One Intended for Beef Should
Have Different Handling Than
the One for the Dairy.

I find it is advisable to feed in one
manner the calf intended for the dairy
and to feed in a different manner the
calf intended for beef, says writer
In Farmers Review. The feeding of
the. calf in either case is a matter that
must be carefully: considered, as over
feeding will make the calf 81 ok.
Calves are frequently unthrifty. and
the causes for this T find to be three:
Overlooking, undertaking, and lice.
believe that most of the mishaps
with calves are due to ignorance as
to how they should be fed. make it
a point not to feed very cold milk to
the calves. To a four-weeks-old calf
intended for the dairy I find that Is
pounds of milk is enough, though this
of course will be regulated somewhat
by the size Of the calf. With this
milk give from two to three pints
of ground grain. After the calf is a
month old and up to at least six
months old, feed some whole oats,
and find the results to be good. The
man, that is producing COWS from
calves should know enough about ra-
tons to be able: to select for those
growing calves food, that will make
bone and muscle rather than fat. ~* -: 4.

BY the aid Of that most marvellous
modern invention Walter Wellman,
Washington correspondent Of the Chi
cago Record-Herald and noted arctic
explorer, is making a third attempt
to reach the north pole. OF the count
less number of attempts to CONQUER
the elements of the far north few: if
any, have ever excited the interest of
this expedition Of Mr.. Wellman and
his chosen companions.
It is this thing Of going about It In
new way that lifts the Wellman
expedition to plane high above all
previous efforts in point of interest
that places it in class by itself. The
devices fixed upon by Mr.. Wallman
were selected because they were the
latest offerings science has made
which were available for the purposes
of the expedition.
The two expeditions made by Mr..
Wellman, one in 1894 and the other
in 1898, like those of all other ex-
plorers, were made on tho theory that
the pole could be reached by sledges
drawn by dogs. The first of these ex-
petitions was made from Spitzbergen
and the second from Franz Joseph
Land. The same obstacles encoun-
tered by other explorers were met by
Mr.. Wellman, and tho trials were fu-
tile, except in that they furnished the
explorer with 4 comprehensive knowl-
edge Of conditions, both atmospheric
and by land and water. It was this
fund Of Information that suggested
the methods to be employed in the
forthcoming effort.
Before it was decided to put the
Wellman airship into execution its
promoter made careful study Of the

balance under normal conditions. The
gasoline reservoirs are four in number,
two at each extreme end of the car.
In the engine-room is placed, besides
the motors, the wireless telegraph ap-
paratus. The car is 81 feet long by

mansions. It's construction represents

imum of weight. being entirely of steel
tubing.
The power from the motors is trans
mitted to shaft at either end of
which is a screw propeller with broad
blades, which offer the greatest eff
cheney. The forward screw is 1917
feet in diameter and the rear screw
four feet less in diameter. There is
but one rudder, which is above the car
and below tho rear end Of the bag.
This rudder Is operated from the en-
gine-room with simple steering ap-
paratus.
Below the car there is suspended a
steel lifeboat, nonsinkable and noncap-
stable, but of very light weight This
boat represents the precaution against
the chance Of the destruction of the
ship or it's sinking into open water.
Into It are packed when not in use the
cables for the guide rope and the
retarder, two Of the most important
attachments of the airship.
In the construction of both bag and
car the UTMOST care has been exercised
and only the highest possible quality
of materials used. A rigid system of
material inspection was maintained to
reduce to the minimum the chances of
fawed materials inadvertently being
used. r.. :" II < ~: :.
Such, In brief, is the airship IN
which will be made the most remark

PROTECTED MILK PAIL.
Convenient and Sanitary Method of
Protecting the Milk from
Dirt.

That many of the odors and much
of the dirt which gets into milk is
during the process of milking, most of
us know, hence every precaution to
overcome this should be taken. One
of the best methods of protecting the
milk in the pail is to arrange cover
of tin and cheese cloth, says the In
dianapolis Sentinel. Have tin cover
made to go over the pail loosely so
as to allow for the space taken by the
cloth strainer The tin cover should

tasted again the triumphs of that
night, when Lavender courtesied be-
fore her.
Behold the Blended Rose," she said,
with mock dignity, strutting about in
the fanciful costume. The loose pol
onaise and long flowing sash gave an
added queenliness to her slender fig
ure, and beneath the queer head dress
of lace and feathers her eyes beguiled
attention. Her beauty and striking at
tire won instant homage, and she was
surrounded by a bevy of admirers.

dance, a sprig of mistletoe, or even
the smiles Of a maid. Once. as he

the arctic basin and this study revealed
some astonishing and encouraging in
dications for the success of the airship
plan. Besides studying the climatic
records of the arctic basin, careful
review was made of the actual achieve
ments in the line of aerial navigation.
There was no contention on the part
of Mr.. Wellman that the problem of
navigating the air had been solved by
the use Of motor-propAled, gas-fllled
bags. It was fully realized that no de-
vice invented could make Roadway
against heavy winds. But it was ar
gued that reaching the pole by airship
did not require the solution Of this
problem, because such a venture did
not call for high rate Of speed. For
the actual needs of such an expedition
Mr.. Wellman contended that the art
of aerial navigation had been amply
developed.
From an easily reached base of op-
erations in northern spitzbergen, lat
itude 80 degrees so minutes, the dis
lance to the mathematical pole is but
$50 miles, making the flight there and
return LOO geographical miles. Cal
culating the distance at 1000 miles,
there would be required but 100 hours
Of airship motoring at the rate Of 10
miles an hour. Santos Dumont repeat
eddy had made 10 to % miles an hour
with small airships equipped with cor
respondingly- small motors. The Le-
baudy ship had made Is miles an hour,
and it's average speed through a long
series of flights had been above 20
miles an hour Under all conditions in
which airship flights have been made

The surface OF the bag measures q,

225 cubic feet. The hydrogen with
which the bag is inflated is made of
sulphuric acid and iron shavings, and
165 tons Of these materials. carefully

1000 pounds, leaving approximately
5000 pounds for cargo. The gasoline
carried weighs $500, which Is equal to
a power endurance of $50 hours mo-

Mr.. Welln,an's DUN Nie.Os.
It is interesting to note that in the
gossipy discussions Of the venture by
men who pretend to know nothing of
aeronautics nor the polar regions, the
two objections most often urged are
the two which caused Mr.. Wellman
and his associates in the construction
and Quitting of the ship the most per-
plexity. The manner in which he pro-
poses to overcome one OF these dangers

been explained by Mr.. Wellman, thus:

ship by means of our motors and
screws when the winds are favorable
in direction, and also when they are
unfavorable, but not Of. too great We
locity. What are we going to do when
they blow adversely and also too
Strongly to permit us to advance with
the motors?
This brings us to one of the funda-
mental features Of the method which
we have adopted. It is this:
Il. With favorable winds or unfa-
vorable winds Of relatively small We
locities-motor at a proper speed of
from ten to II geographical miles per
hour, with IL miles per hour as per-
haps the mean speed.
e. With unfavorable winds of high
er velocities the motors and
throw out upon the ice sheet over
which we are sailing dragging an
Choir or retardateur-a device calculat-
ed to offer the maximum Of resistance
in proportion to its weight-and by
this means to drift slowly with the ad-
verse wind.
Assuming that this method works
out as we'll in practice as in theory
and there are many reasons for believ-
ing that it will do so to at least a fair
degree-we have then this principle:
Il. That the winds that blow with
our course, directly or obliquely, add
their movements to the advance which
we expect to make with our motors
and help us SO much on our way.
'2. But contrary winds Of velocities
greater than our motor speed, or sc
great that motoring against them
would be an uneconomical use of fuel
