Killing Lice ON Catt1e.

Most farmers know how troublesome
the lice are on stock, and particularly
on cows. but the modern idea Of fumi-
eating the animal has many objections.
There is no doubt but that 1t can be
thoroughly and safely done If ore has
the proper stalls and the other proper
appliances, but to attempt to carry out
this plan in the average stall would
result In failure; the stock would BE-

droppings passing through to the
ground. Care should be taken not to
have the first bottom slat at the back
fit closely against the back, as this will
hold the droppings. The feeding and
watering are done by means OF a
trough in front running the entire
length Of the coop. This trough is from
two to three inches deep and is made
Of three-quarter inch lumber.
ChurnfnE When Weather Is Cold.
Let the milk stand t%hirty-six hours
then skim. If it stands longer than
this, especially in a cold room, the
cream is liable to be bitter, and con
sequently you will have bitter butter.
Once a day turn into the cream a quart
of new milk warm from the cow, then
stir thoroughly. If the cream does not
sour by the time the bucket is nearly
full, set it on the stove reservoir Of
warm, not hot, water, stirring frequent
ly until soured. Then add sweet cream,
or new milk enough for a churninS.
Let this stand twelve hours then warm
on the reservoir Of warm water, stir
ring often, so thai the cream will warm
all through.
AS soon as the right temperature is
obtained the cream should be churned.
A little salt added to the cream after
it is in the churn Is a great help in
separating the butter from the milk,
and it also aids in gathering the but
ter. If there are bubbles in the cream
after churning a while, add a little
warm water frequently until the butter
is gathered. This is a ~fayorite method
in cold weather, and If followed you
will always have sweet, solid, salable
butter. @

Philadelphia Record.

Philadelphia Record.
Among public men in Washington
there is a good deal Of comment upon
the geographical distribution Of posi-
tons In President Rooseyelt's cabinet.
After March 4 next New York will
have three members of the cabinet :
namely, Secretary of State Root. Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury cortelyou and
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
straus, while Ohio will have Two mem.
bers in Secretary of War Taft and
Secretary Of the Interior Garfield.
Thus these two almost contiguous
Middle States will have a majority
of the members of the cabinet = a
thing, II need hardly be said, without
example In the political history Of the
country.
Formerly presidents were very care.

Gcnlty In obtaining fit men for cabinet
positions in different parts of the
land, from Maine 10 California. AL
though New York is the foremost
State of the Union in population, com
merce and wealth, its political influ'
ence in the government is greatly ov
erweighted by having the President
and three members of the cabinet.
There Is no valid reason why, New
York and Ohio should have five of The
nine cabinet portfolios, while Pennsyl
yania, with Its varied interests aud
with its Overwhelming Republican ma

Evidence Was Conclusive.

New York Tribune.
The President denies that he HI ;
punished the battalion. Dismissal
from the army is no punishment for
murder nor for mutinous shielding Of
crime. He has merely protected the
country from a body Of men whose
continuance in The service woui,i hf q
menace to the country. Again We
meet with civil standards. at Is bet
ter that one hundred guilty men
should escape than that one innocent
man should be punished" We suspect
that idea to be at the bottom OF much
misguided sentiment regarding the
battalion. In the first place, the sol
diers have not been punished; but, In
the second place, II they had been, It
would be better that many innocent
men should suffer slch punishment
us Is involved in the dismissal from
the service without the right Of re-en-
listment than that the army should
not be protected against a repetition
Of the Brownsville riot and mutiry
Criticism of the Presidents action
has lately retrcated 20 the position
that the evidence Of The negroes guilt
is insufficient 1t strikes us as con-
elusive. There is the direct evidence
of the police lieutenant that the men
who shot at him repeatedly, wound
ing him in the arm, were negro sol
diers. He is sustained By a vast
amount of circamstantial civ edecne.
The motive for the crime is obvious
The absurd suggestion that the shoot
ing was done by citizens of Browns
vile, dressed as soldiers, conspirins
TO create the impression that the ne
gro troops were guilty Of rioting, is a
mass of improbabilities. We shall call
attention to only one thing, which,
10 our mind, disposes Of the theory
finally The shots were fired with
deadly intent. They were fred into
lighted houses where there was a pre-
sumption that persons were up and
aboat. They went through doors and
windows at a height Of from four to
five feet. at which height they would
presumtively strike a person moving
about the room. An elaborate conspir'
acy Of townsmen would have taken
good care that the shots would cost
no lives.
