The one thing that should more than
any other be impressed upon the keep
er of dairy cows is intelligent care
The small record made by the cows
of the stall is due, not so mucn to
breeding or even quality as to a lack
of knowledge or else to carelessness
in their keeping. Irregularity which
is the rule on the average farms. will
account for much of the loss The
cows are looked after when there IS
nothing else left to do. They are
MIXED and fed at irregular times.
This care is regarded entirely as a
chore, and not in any way as a bus
mess, which to be most profitable
must have the very best kind of at
tention. We believe this idea of re-
garding the cows as a chore, and
rather a disagreeable chore too, will
account for the dislike many farmers
have for the keeping of cows Treated
in this way the cows are not very
profitable and add materially TO the
work about the farm, and so keeping
them becomes very distasteful. Not
many farmers like to do full days
work in the field and then milk cows
for two or three hours after supper.
So long as this method of caring for
cows prevails the dairy business Will
never be the most profitable nor sat-
isfactory. The care Of COWS must be
a part of the farmers business, re-
ceiving the most prompt attention at
the right time, and not chore to be
attended to at convenience

present the heads Of state institutions
sell state property including live stock
and grain, and buy all sorts of supplies
the funds used being the cash fund 1e-
rived from the sale Of property. Some
times this fund amounts to many thou
sands of dollars, but usually it is only
a few hundred dollars The cash fund
has often Eeen used for the payment of
expenses that the board of pubic
lands and buildings refused to allow
to drawn from the regularly appropri-
ated funds of the state institutions.
Often expenses have been paid from The
cash fund by the heads of state insti-
tions and later, when convenient the
claims were presented to the board of
public lands and buildings and ap-
proved but in such cases the money
was paid out by the head of the insi-
tuition before the item was approved
by his superiors. The intent of the
legislature is to guard the cash funds
Of the state institutions. Provision is
made for the setting aside OF 5000 to
each institution for the purchase of
perishable supplies and commodities.

The coach had already drawn his blue

The veto of the Hamer bill for the
erection of two wings to the Kearney
normal school was taken to heart by
the officers of that institution and by
others interested. The legislature was
unusually liberal with the common
schools of Nebraska and made appro-
priations that will be felt In every
corner Of the state. A law was passed
raising the entrance requirements to
normal schools and providing for nor
NAL training in the high schools. 1t
was doubtless with ell these things in
mind that the veto was written. 1t

one Of the most discussed bill
passed by the legislature is S. f. rs,
by Gibson Of Douglas. called the anti
brewers bill AS passed and signed
by the governor 1t provides that brew
ers or manufacturers Of intoxicating
liquors shall not be interested in saloon
licenses, or in other woio5, engage in
the retail liquor trade, and shall not
rent buildings owned by them to be
used for saloon purposes That part
Of the bill intended to prevent brew
er or manufactures from renting a
building to anothe to be used for
saloon purposes has been challenged
by the manufacturers Of Nebraska, but
attorneys who have looked into the law
believe the bill Is absolutely invulner-
able from legal standpoint. The bill
does not amend any section Of the
present law but Is supplemental to
that law. Attorneys believe that if
the provision relating to the renting
of buildings to others for saloon pur-
poses was for any other purpose. with
the possible exception of immoral pur
poses, It might not stand the test, but
as 1t relates to the regulations Of
saloons, it is believed to be valid and
legal under the decisions of the courts
in cases that bear on the subject of
control of the liquor traffic.

Emergency Foods.

According TO DR.. Robert Hutchinson
Of London, if at any time meat is not
available, bread sugar and eggs will
make "a very respectable support for
the body" Sugar is an exceedingly
valuable article of food as source OF
energy, the unfortunate thing about it
being that it contains no nitrogenous
matter. Bread, however, does contain
some; hence it balances up well when
combined with sugar. In times of
scarcity of food bread and molasses is
not a half bad diet-at least it can be
relied on to keep the body up to fair
state Of efficiency.

large drinking cup which stands apart
from all other art objects under n
heavy glass cover. 1t is of Dutch
workmanship, and the inscriptions and
style show that it was made early in
the eighteenth century. The vessel is
remarkable because it is known in the
museum, says a Berlin paper, "as hav-

On that account it is Isolated There
are remedies against this glass disease,

have not been applied to the Dutch

A Terrible Punishment.

A man suspected Of treason III Mo-
rocco was punished by having the
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound
filled with salt and the whole hand
sewed up in leather. 1t is a common
belief that this punishment causes
modification to set in and that the
hand decomposes, but such is not the
case, for by the time the leather wears
off the hand is healed, the result being
that the hand is rendered useless and
remains closed forever. 1t is punish
ment not often in use, but is some
times done in cases Of murder or con-
stant theft, as, without in any way in
iuring the health OF the man, it pre-
vents his committing the crime a sec
ond time or for the hundredth time,
as the case may be. 1t is punish
mcnt that cannot he applied except by
