Will Finish Milwaukee by
June LIST

June ISL
Trains will be running thru
from Chamberlain to the Black
Hills on the Rapid City extern
sion Of the Milwaukee road by
June l, according to a careful
estimate by j. G.. Love, division
freight and passenger agent for
the Milwaukee road, who has
kept in touch with the progress
Of construction work, says the
Sioux City Journal Of the -.
The opening Of the Black Hills
line early in the summer will be
of considerable Importance to
the thousands of homesteaders
who as soon as warm weather
comes will begin to pass through
Sioux City and establish resi-
dence on.South Dakota claims.
Many will take up claims at the
west end Of the Rapid City ex-
tension, which can be reached
only at the present time by a
longsdetour over the Northwest
ern line in Nebraska.
For the products Of Sioux
City jobbers and manufacturers,
Sioux City travelling men and
Sioux City newspapers, the
opening Of the new line will
bring the Black Hills territory,
with a half dozen important
towns, nearer to this city by
several hours. Milwaukee Off
Gals have announced that one
train will leave Sioux City in
the morning and reach Rapid
City in the evening while an
other will leave Sioux City in
evening and arrive at RAPID
in the morning. This service
will not be established until the
has been put into bet
ter shape than it will be in by
June 1.
All construction work on the
Rapid City extension and the
coast line from Everts has been
abandoned and will not be rel
summed until warmer weather is
assured. Scrapers and wagons
have been put under cover, and
few outfits have pulled upl
stakes entirely, with the inten-
ton Of returning q month orr
six weeks later. Between fifty
and sixty miles Of track remain

LONG COATS IN FAVOR.
Direetoire and Redingote Styles Are
Seen Everywhere.

Perhaps suggested by the cold
spring, long coats in directoire and
redingote styles are motel In many Of
the smartest models, and 1t Is fore
gone conclusion that they will be one
of the chief features of the fall and
winter modes.
In. the heavy grass linens, these de-
signs are wonderfully distingue. Ere
quently they show clever combina-
tions of materials and have many odd
notes introduced. For example, old
blue linen of coarse, uneven weave
has long plain skirt, which just
touches the ground all around-an-
other French incongruity since coarse
linen is not dressy fabric-and over
this a three-quarter-length coat cut
ON directoire lines. The fronts do
not meet, but are faced back their en-.
tire length with rajah of the same
shade and a narrow vest Of Delft
embroidery inserted. The vest is but
toned down the front with tiny fancy
buttons; opens with little v at the
neck, and ends at the top of the
rather wide girdle which is worn with
the skirt. At either side of the vest
there are three large buttons similar
in design to those on the vest. The
sides of the coat skirt and the upper
sides of the sleeves are slashed, the
former to the hips, and the latter
nearly to the top, and embroidery like
that of the vest inserted. The two
edges are then strapped across witt
loops OF narrow blue soutache, with
tiny buttons fixing them. The French
back is extremely graceful. with q
very slight suggestion of the empire
in its cut, the suggestion accentuatet
by three of the larger buttons a
either side.

A HIeH-cLAss DAIRY.
Fine Quality Of Milk Supplied to &c.
lect Trade.

A Massachusetts, physician owns
and operates dairy farm where over
geo cows are kept the year round. The
milk is sold to q high class of buyers
in Boston. Four kinds OF whole milk
are sold, also two kinds of skinned
milk and three qualities of cream. A
special grade of milk, testing six per
cent, is produced for convalescents
and sick folks, who need the richest
milk possible. Jerseys and Guernseys
supply this high grade of milk. The
milk furnished especially for babies
contains about four per cent. butter
fat and Is MIXED from Ayrshire COWS.
Jerseys, Ayrshires, Guernseys, Devons
and Shorthorns are all used In this
dairy. Every stable and barn on the
place is kept neat and clean, and no
foul odors are allowed to permeate
them The mornings milk from this
dairy is cooled, bottled and delivered
to the many customers In time for
their use on the breakfast table. But
couple Of cents more per quart is
charged for this milk than for that
coming from less sanitary surround.

THE uppsR.
Types Which Are Desirable
In the Dairy Cow.

The Illustrations show some of the
types of udder that are more or less
desirable in the dairy COW. At A is
shown as clearly as possible an ideal
udder. The udder need not be over
large. 1t should have sufficient capa-
city, however, to allow the continued
growth of numerous cells for the man
ufacture of fat and its emulsification
with the other constituents of milk. IL
should be evenly balanced before and
behind, and the central suture should
be well developed and strongly at
tached to the body. 1t should be COW

fieshiness and closely attached to the
body. 1t should come we'll forward

the posterior portion of the body. II
should, of course, have good circum-
ference and if properly proportioned
1t will add beauty as well as utility to
the COW.
At B is shown the udder as IL should
collapse on itself, like glove, after
the milk has been extracted. A poorly
balanced udder is shown at c.; II is
hung too far forward on the stomach,
and the teats are not evenly placed,
resulting In great Inconvenience in
milking. At d may be seen an udder
deficient in the front part; at e an
udder that is also lacking in balance,
the teats are not evenly placed, and
there Is no. sufficient development OF
the anterior region. At f is shown a
small udder. There is not enough
room here to permit the rapid elabora-
tioL of milk, which is of prime impor-
| tance, as 1t is a wellknown fact that
comparatively small quantity of
milk is in the udder when milking
commences. 1t is likewise thought by
scientists that the ability of COW to

mined by the number of cells, and
hence the area available for the dis
tributioa of blood and other fluids
through the udder tissues is too re-
stricted in this instance. A small
udder is therefore poor sign of deep
milking powers, though large udder,
owing to the character of tissues that
may enter into it's formation, is not al
ways a sign of good mixer. At G
is shown an udder much cut up, with
very large and poorly placed teats; II
is what may be termed restricted
udder, though rather elongated. At II
appears another form of udder often
met with, which, like that shown at
G, is somewhat funnel-shaped in char
acter. 1t has not sufficient rotundity
does not come well forward on the
stomach, and is lacking in develop
ment in. the posterior region.

Farmer. The opening may be as wide
as desired. Two by two-inch plank are
nailed to the fence posts about four
or six inches from the ground and
two extra posts are set out from the
fence about foot. The plank Is
nailed to the inside of these posts and
this plank should be about four feet
longer than the one fastened to the
fence, so as to go by the opening at
each end about two feet. The hogs
cannot jump the two planks and small
hogs that go between them cannot

may be necessary to retain them, al

DAIRY NOTES.

The scrub farmer will keep scrub
stock.
Starving the young animals in the
dairy saves feed, but that is all.
The savage dog has no license on
the farm and especially around the
dairy.
A few good rules consistently fol-
lowed will accomplish greater re-
suits than much wisdom and little
practice.
Ii is a mighty poor COW that will
not respond to good care and good
food. She should be sold to the
butcher forthwith.
Milk with dry hands. The man
who milks with wet hands is usually
very careless as well in the other
details of the dairy business.
A man who abuses his stock has
about as much chance of reaching
that Better Lard as the Golden Rule
has of being worked to death.
It's pretty good plan to have ar
rangements made so that the stock
can get in out of the storm should
one come up while the family is
away.

| The first, and all important. point
in selecting COW Is to note the size

is particularly apparent Immediately

the DAY or THE FARMER.
Occupation Properly Recognized ~
One OF the Professions.

The farmer who is not an amateur
is really increasing factor in to-
days life. In fact. farming is rapidly
becoming one of the professions. We
have our agricultural schools, just as
we have our law schools
It Is getting to be business as
we'll. Farmers have their trusts, like
other manufacturers.
It is a far cry from the New Eng
land farmer, trying to arrange an ex-
ploded granite quarry into a stone
wall that he may have room in which
to plant his crop. and that master Of
capital, science, and black earth ten
feet deep who plows with a traction
engine and reaps with a ten horse
team. And between these two types
of farmers the drift is steadily toward
the latter.
The comic paper does not laugh at
the granger" as frequently as 1t used
to laugh. 1t wants his subscription.
The capitalist does not foreclose
mortgages on the prairie farm now.
He borrows money of its owner
And, what is vastly more impor-
tant, the entire country looks with a
respect bordering upon apprehension
on this new type of American who
has decided views on railroads, trusts
and, In fact, on every subject, from
the "green bug" to the lecturer at his

SMALL MANTLEs ARE CHIC.
Give Fine Air Of Completeness to
the Costume.

There Is no end to the charming
little mantles worn with gowns and
that complete the costume so per-
fectly. As dress lingerie waists are
Dc rigueur they give a particular
charm to these lovely mantles when
ever they are put aside. A very at
tractive louisine silk costume on this
order, worn at recent wedding. was
,a French gray figured in white. The
skirt had three inset pipings of white
satin In q line group crossing like a
band, few inches from the bottom.
The smart mantle matched the skirt
and was draped into the figure over a
Atted foundation of white silk marce-
line. In front, the drapery crossed.

Be Gentle with the Cow.

Be gentle with the COW, for you will
feel better about 1t and the COW GER
tainly will There is money value
about gentleness also. but this should
not be the first thing to be considered.
The quiet cow is the one that will pro-
duce the most milk. The COW that is
frightened has her digestive processes
interfered with. and these digestive
processes are the ones that control
the manufacture OF milk. A bad-tem-
pered hired man should not be turned
loose with the dairy cows.

MAKING OF A GOOD COW.
First Fifteen Months Of Calls Life
Determines Her Future.

A wise old dairy farmer once said
to Gov. Hoard The COW is either
made or unmade in the first 15
months of her life" Questioned far
ther he stated that he had come to his
conclusion after years OF observation
and practice. He had noticed this:
That where a farmer took the best
possible care of his heifer calves, kept
them dry and clean. fed them well on
good growing food and kept them
going in strong, growthy manner, IL
they were well bred from good dairy
stock, nearly all would make good
cows, whereas, IL they were ever so
we'll bred, IL they were neglected. and
badly cared for, It was rarely any OF
them would make good cows.
I'VE believe firmly in the truth OF
what this old farmer said" adds Gov.
Hoard More good cows are spoiled
by neglect, insufficient food, during
the first Is months than from any
other cause.
Good blood dairy heredity and all
that is necessary. 1t is the founda-
tion. But IL we are going to make
good cows out of these heifers we
must pay close attention to how we
start them on the road.
For years we have been rearing
heifer calves. Some OF them VIC have
sold and some of them We have kept
We are greatly impressed by our ex
perience with the truth of the old
farmers theory. 1t is true that we
take great pains that the heifer shall
be well born. But that Is only hall
the proposition, the first half.
"If she is y have good, large capac
ity she mast be steadily well nour
ished from the beginning to the tim'
she is first In calf. This done she ha'
greatly increased chance of profit t
her owner. In buying heifers 1t II
