Kaiser Apo!ogized For Length of Alb.

A Characteristic story may be re-
lated of Emperor Wilhelm lis pecu-
liarities. One morning he made a call
on Count Szoegyeny, then Austrian
ambassador at Berlin. The count was
dawdling over his breakfast when his
valet announced, His majesty the

BREEDING DAIRY CATTLE.
When 1uyine Stock Be Particular
About the Character Of the Seller.

One thing ought always to be con-
pure bred cattle. That is, that the
knowledge, skill and character of the
breeder is about as important as is the
animal they are to buy
- There lis q wonderful difference be-
tween being a real breeder and one
who simply mates male. and female,
says Hoard's Dairyman.: The art and
philosophy OF breeding is a very deep
question. One mans cattle show al
most always progressive quality.
They are the product Of skillful, in
telligent mating. Another man gives
no thought to the deeper phases Of
the question. He simply breeds pure
bred cattle together and there is no in
telligent adaptation of means to ends.
The average capacity of his cattle
shows a hit and miss result, that is
very confusing and disappointing. 1t
is right to say that there will be fully
enough failures even with the most
thoughtful and comprehensive breed
erS.
What must it be with men who be-
stow but little thought or study upon
the deeper physiological problems
that are involved and which will have
their way: Take. for instance, this
matter of keeping two or more bulls
in breeding herd. The question Of q
successful nick" is an all-important
one. Yet in almost every herd of Is
females there will be found a certain
number which do not nick well with
the head of the herd. An observant
breeder will note this. Mate them
with another sire and with the most
of them at least the result will show
decided improvement in the strength
and vigor of the offspring.
And SO, we say. that the skill and
comprehension of the breeder himself
is a matter of great Importance to the
man who is about to buy breeding ami
mails. The working and effectiveness
of the engine depends very greatly
on the ability of the engineer. 1t is
, doubly so where two engines of living
. force are being mated to produce a
, third that, it is hoped, will combine
effectively the best qualities of each.

High Sta ndard in ,Dajryinu.

:
Most of our farmers need higher
standard in dairying. They have too
long. been satisfied with very ordi-
nary COW, fed on ordinary feed, giving
ordinary milk with only an ordinary
percentage Of fat ON it. Every farmer
that has not yet done so, should revise
his standards and: push all of them
up a notch higher. If his cows are
making 200 pounds of, butter per year
on the average, he should set the
standards at ESQ or more pounds, and
SO in the. quality Of; feed fed. Too
many are content with standards that
do not give a large margin Of profit
on the business OF dairying. The men
that have succeeded, in mailing much
money out of dairying are those that
have set high standards and worked
towards them. .ss# :.E 80 /. i..tzsl -. i

Dairy Points.

,Oversour cream gives sour and, of
ter.
A dairy thermometer is quite mex
pensive, and it is certainly a labor
saving device.
Put a pint of fresh buttermilk into
the cream jar as starter, and your
cream will ripen sooner.
Get the cow that gives milk all the
year round as far as possible. It is a
great loss to dry up cows when it is
not necessary
Don't sacrifice the good COWS and
the young growing stock Give them
the best care for another year-they
will all be wanted
The small farm with the small herd
is better than large farm with a
large herd, because the small farm
will do more in proportion than the
large one. "
A poor COW may even be made to
pay her way by liberal feeding: and it
is equally true that a good COW may
be made to lose money by +niggardly
treatment.
1t is far more satisfactory to have
: the COW in the first flow of milk in
good condition, when the yield may be
stimulated by sufficient food without
reducing her flesh too much Z, <
Watering the milk in the COW is
often the fact, as the quality; of the
milk is regulated by the food and milk
may be, deficient in solids without hav-
ing water added to it by the dairyman.

The spout of the pail has a tight fit
ting cover. One or two thicknesses
of strainer cloth are slipped under the
pan before it is fastened in place, and
the result is dust and dirt-proof pail:
There is no patent on this pail, says
the Montreal Herald.
The milk strikes the bottom of the
pan, runs through the holes in the
pan, through the strainer cloth and
into the pail, where it is practically
sealed from the outside conditions. Il
comes in contact with the air of the
barn only while it is passing from the
teat to the pan-a distance Of perhaps
six inches.

IDEAL BARN FLOOR.
One Made Of Cement Meets All Re.
QuirementS.

/ think an ideal floor for a COW to
stand on is cement, writes an Ohio
farmer. You can keep a stable floor
dry if you use plenty of absorbents
/ have been rash enough to say a man
should use, land plaster, in his stable,
but Prof. Ketch says land plaster has
no power to fix ammonia at all.
Therefore, we must put on lots of bed
ding, and not allow it to remain un-
der the cow until it is all matted
down, and when we stir it up find mold
in it; keep it working to the gutter
and put on fresh. l have never found
so good an absorbent as good, fresh
horse manure scattered behind the
COWS each morning with road dust.
1t holds the ammonia, takes up all
the liquids and keeps the COW reason
ably clean. If a man is going to have
a sanitary stable, he must put in hard
work, and | would recommend a ma
nure carrier, and to clean out the
stable twice a day

SEPARATOR WILL PAY.
Cleanliness in Milking and in Use Of
Separator Secret of Success.

First get your milk clean. Then By
all means get separator, if you
haven't one, and keep it clean also.
1t is surprising how many neglect to
keep their separators clean. Some
agents instruct their customers not to
wash the separator more than once
day. They want to make it appear
very easy to clean them, and it is, if
done twice a day.
The convenience, saving in butter

than to buy a separator costing from
$50 to 500.

HANDLE DEAD LETTERS FASTER
Change in System of Sorting Dead
Letters at Washington Results
in Better Results.

WASHINGTON, Feb. by direc-
ton of Postmaster General Cortel-
you, a radical change was put into eff
feet last Mondav by Assistant Post
master General McGraw in the mat
ter of handling unclaimed letters of
domestic origin which are received in
the division of dead letters. Several
male employees have been assigned
to the duty of simply opening the
envelopes without examining the con-
tents. The letters thus opened are
then given to a force of twenty-five
clerks who select therefrom all writ
ten correspondence and enclosures
that can be delivered to the senders.
This system was inaugurated about
the middle of last month, and'the re-
sulting Improvement is shown by the
report Of The dead letter division for
January.
During That month 1922, 70U let
ters We're opened as compared with
9oS,3Qo the same month last year
and 266.231 setters were returned TO
senders against 1914 IN January,
1906.
