The Iubilse Singers

The Gunnison Entertainment Bu-
resu is to be congratulated upon the
success of its first number, the
Siayton Jubilee Singers, who gave a
highly en- njoyable musical program
at the Christian church Saturday
The audience was closely packed
but enthusiastic A hundred more
would have attended if it had been
possible to accommodate them.
The voices were all good and were
heard to special advantage in the
camp meeting shouts and the old
plantation melodies. Some OF the
solo numbers in the second part were
very delightful.
As the company were to remain in
our city over Sunday, they gave a
sacred concert that evening, all three
churches yielding 10 them. The
0saacsi sHM bers were even more
enjoyable than the previous night.
Such familiar songs as Holy City,
Swing Low, Nearer Ny God to
Thee, and Jaunita, might be men,
toned as particularly pleasing.
The next entertainment comes
Dec. 26, the night after Christmas,
when W. J. Clarke will lecture on
The wonders of modern science. "
The Christian church appears tc
be the most satisfactory audience
hall in the town. 1t is well built
and comfortable at all times Of year
Even now it will hold go auditors
and by the addition Of a small gal
lery and other changes could be
made TO hold 800. Why not get ul
a stock company, buy the abandon,
ed structure and move it to va.
cant lot nearer the heart of town
With good floor, movable seats
and properly equipped stage, which
could be secured without extrava-
CANT cost, this would he a money
maker from the start.

 Tuscaloosa, Oct, 2-(Special)-As a ,rnsult of the winning of prohibition, a praise service was held atsthe Metho- dist church last night and was attended by a large congregation, Northport sending oyer a large delegation.
 After a brief service of song and psayer, conducted by Rev. s. E. Was son. the crowd repaired to the court house. Judge Henry B.

Unfair Methods.

Farmers are often called conserva-
tive but it needs a stronger word to
describe the patrons of a cheese fac
tory who vote to discontinue paying
for milk on the basis of the butter.fat
test. ] have in mind a certain factory
where milk had been paid for accord.
ing to test for two or three seasons.
conclusively proving to some of the
patrons that their herds. were a losing
proposition, and to others that they
were securing a good profit. Did the
owners of the worthless cows dispose
Of them? Not at all. They voted to
return to the old order of things and
sell their milk by weight. In plain
words, because they were in the ma
jority they forced their more enlight-
ened neighbors to give them aims, to
share their profits to make up the de-
ficiencies of the worthless cows. I'm.
fortunately for the interests of good
stock there are still too many fac
tories that buy milk at 80 much a hun
dredweight. Needless to say they are
not located In the best dairy sections.

OIL UPON DUSTY RoADwAYs.
Way Of Treating Roads in Liverpool
Proves Satisfactory.

The English cast oil on the troubled
roads. Dust raising is a nuisance OF
such magnitude that various civic and
official anti-dust experiments have
been made. Quite satisfactory results
have been secured In Liverpool
through the use of oil sprinkled upon
macadam roadways. The surface hav-
ing the %cleanest and whitest appear
ance was that coated with creosote
oil mixed with resin, while that Gov
cred with creosote mixed with tallow
had the least odor. The Texas crude
petroleum gave the most lasting re-
suits. After oiling the wear n tear
of the road appears to be less, says
the Chicago Tribune. The surface Of
the road dries more quickly after
rains, and the number of loose stones
picked up has been reduced. The
first sprinkling kept the surface in
good order for three weeks, at the end
of which time 1t was thought advis-
able to recove the area. The effects
of the oil on the surface after a second
coating had been applied had not en-
tirely disappeared after the lapse Of
five weeks. Oiling wood pavements
In Liverpool was done il the same
manner and the dust satisfactorily
kept kept down, a result not previous
ly obtained even by watering four
times a day.

BUTTER PRiCE
Some Reasons Why They Are Main
tanned at High Figure.

Much speculation Is INDUCED In
about the fact that with all the sup
posed great increase In creameries
the prices of butter still hold up.
Those who speculate forget two or
three things. says Hoard's Dairyman:
Cd That the COW Is the source of
the butter supply, not the creamery.
GU That the more dense the COW
population becomes In any section. the
less proportion Of heifer calves are
raised.
90 That the increase In milk con-
sumption has beeen so great that a
very large share of the cows of the
country have been diverted from but.
~ter-making to that business.
(4) That the increase of cows In
this country is only about five per
cent. yearly, so 1t takes about 20
years to double the COW population.
90 That the progress of dairy Ideas
among farmers is teaching them to
weed out the Improbable cows, thus
reducing very .~perceptibly the. milk
supply for Improbable bu~tter-making.
CO. That the percentage of increase
of population is much greater than the
percentage of increase In cows, while
the consumption of milk and butter
per capita has been steadily on the
increase. All these things tend to
strengthen the dairy business In all
It's parts and keep prices to a healthy
grade.

HANDLING THE ICE CROP.

Keep the points sharp on the ice
tools.
An old crosscut saw makes a good
ice saw.
Spread a good layer of sawdust over
the bottom of the Ice house. 4
Felt boots with good rubber arctics
are the best footwear to use on the
ice.
Wear an apron made of a grain sack
and put on a dry n as often as it
gets wet.
Let the block of ice freeze solid
while 1t is being put into the house, If
possible.
> It's no fun to handle heavy Ice.
therefore plan to gather it before 1t
gets too thick.
Two strong men with short handled
tongs will load ice quicker and better
than any derrick device.
Ice keeps best when the blocks are
IA to 16 inches thick, but blocks six to
eight inches thick will do II well
packed.

WI COMMON A
They Should Not Be Neglected While
Waiting for Hard Roads.

In the excitement Of the good roads
ers will let our common roads go
without much work being lone on
them and wait for the public improve
ment. Farmers now by neglect of
the roads and the principles Of ele-
mentary road making are paying an
enormous tax; the very great cost of
drawing loads over poor roads. The
first principle of good road making is,
keep the water off from the road, and
the second is, get the water of from
the road.
Go over the road as soon as the
snow Is off and see how often these
rules are violated. Often the water
u mi from the ditch into the road and
then u n for rods, washing the ma
terial out, running all that was done
the previous yea and making the o a
nearly impossible. Yet, says the Farm
and Home, by only a lev minutes
work the road might be saved and the
water turned out. Every supervisor
or roadmaster ought to go over the
road late In the fall and turn the water
off. On the hills and at foot of hills,
and elsewhere when necessary, add
open bitches.
At the Ohio state farmers institute,
d. w. King of Indiana, gave a method
of making and improving roads. Mr..
King lives in northern Indiana, In the
'Gumbo" region, where the earth is
black and very sticky. The result is
a very good road at small cost. He
uses a split log drag. Hitch with chain
on rod SO that all surplus dirt will be
carried to center of road. The hitch
Is one OF the most important features.
Uusually use the fat side forward, but
when smoothing or packing the dirt,
use rounding side forward.
Go over the road as soon as 1t thaws
and smooth down all dirt carried to
the center. Repeat the dragging after
each rain as soon as the surface is dry
enough to work. 1t is not necessary
to wait till the ground Is all thawed
out. Begin as o o as there Is an inch
thawed. This will give the water a
chance to run of; water running In
the road is one of the worst things
for the road. Following 1t up after
each rain will turn the water, distrib-
ute the travel over the road, avoid and
prevent ruts, and keep the road good.
To make the plan most available,
each farmer should have such a drag,
and each n drag from his house to
the next house, thus each doing the
work at a very small cost. A road
worked in this way will keep good all
summer and fall. Less than a weeks
rain will hardly affect 1t. In spring
the road is in good condition much
sooner than other roads not treated.

GERMS IN MILK.
How They May Be Kept Out by Rea-
sonsbie Care.

Feeding hay and dry grain Just be-
fore or at milking time fills the air of
the stable with dust. This dust settles
into the milk pail carrying bacteria
with 1t, thus increasing the germ con-
tent of the milk. Feeding dry corn
stover at milking time has the same
effect as the feeding of hay and grain,
only in a more marked degree. since
corr slower usually contains more
dust and bacteria than does hay and
grain.
Wiping the flank and udder OF the
COW with a damp cloth just before
milking will help reduce the number
Of bacteria which fall into the milk
pail. The practice of brushing cows
at milking time is undesirable. The
hair and dust which are thus set free
into the atmosphere settle into the
milk pail during the process of milk
ing and very materially aid In making
1t spoil.
Stripping a COW dry, says Farm and
Home, tends to reduce the number of
bacteria found in the milk at the next
milking while leaving a small amount
of strippings in the udder increases
the number Of bacteria at the next
milking. This is probably due to the
fact that the greater manipulation
necessary to thoroughly strip the COW
remove many bacteria which would
otherwise remain in the udder to mul.
tiply during the time before the next
milking.

Keeping the Cows Clean.

Cows can be kept clean in the
stables by a little attention to the
length of the standing doors and the
height of same. II the place on which
a COW stands is too long she will be-
come dirty and it win be practically
impossible to keep her clean. If the
length of the platform is just great
enough SO that the droppings will fall
beyond it, the COW will be kept clean
with ease. Cows differ in length, and
this difference may be made up for by
adjusting the tying arrangements OF
the cows to suit each case. II is a
great thing to be able to keep the
cows clean, through the entire win
ter. but this can easily be done.

cisTERN FOR DRINKING WATER.
Arrangement by Which Filtered Water
Can Be Obtained.

In digging a cistern, dig it deep and
arch well under ground, closing in
the arch to receive a two-foot tile to
form the neck, which a easily be
closed tight against toads and insects.
BY the side of the big c~istern, dig a
little filtering c~istern, as shown in
cut, that will hold from ten ito Is bar
rels. Wall, arch and cement the same
as large c~istern, except that in the
center of the bottom, which should be
slightly basin shape, dig and cement
a hole large enough and deep enough
TO receive a bucket that will hold FIVE
or six gallons.
Have bottom of bucket perforated
with small holes n fasten a strong
bale to bucket by which to lift 1t out.
Have a strong flange turned close to
tho top of the bucket to rest tight on

a rest under the bottom, as there will
be a heavy pressure when altering
cistern is full. From the bottom Of
the hole under bucket connect filter
with cistern with a three-inch W
tile thoroughly cemented In.
The advantages in this method are
that the filtering material can be
packed IN bucket close enough to per
NIT the water to filter through very
slowly. The altering cistern being but
one-third the depth of the cistern
proper. any time the water is below
the tube connecting filter with cistern,
the bucket Of fltering material can
be lifted out and material removed.
BY closing the tile leading to cistern;
so that water will not run through,
one can go into the fltering cistern
and wash II thoroughly without dis
turbing the water in cistern. BY fill
ing the bucket with pounded brick,
charcoal and slate packed in clean
washed sand. the water will filter
through very slowly. After packing
the bucket and before setting II in the
hole, run water through TO wash all
sediment out.

ThE JERSEY COW.
How 70 Judge a Good Animal When
Buying.

Appearance comes first, as being
most readily judged Of. Solid colored.
or almost solid colored, animals are
very generally preferred, as a matter
of taste. but white markings Of great
er or lesser extent are no indication
either OF admixture of the blood OF
another breed or of dairy iuferiority.
The general health and apparent con
~stitution of the cows are matters OF
prime Importance to be looked into.
She should show good depth through
the body when viewed from front or
rear, with a ~capacious barrel, indicat-
ing a good feeder. The udder should
be large and well rounded out, both In
front and rear, with large and evenly
placed teats. The milk veins should
be prominent. the back level, the eye
large and placid. the hide soft and
pliable and OF a yellow color. The
scale of points drawn up and adopt
ed by the American Jersey cattle club
will prove an excellent and instructive
guide In judging a Jersey cow.
The best way, however. of determin-
ing the merits Of any dairy COW, says
Farm and Home. Is to use a pair OF
scales to ascertain the quantity of the
milk and a Babcock tester to ascer-
tain Its quality, or percentage OF fat.
The ancestry of the COW is also well
worthy of some attention; for II she
comes of good dairy strains of blood.
similar qualities are to be expected
in her. AS to the particular family
to which she may belong. 1t is well to
remember that there are good Jerseys
to be found In all families.

DAIRY NOTES.

The quality of feed for farm ami
mails is as important as quantity.
Under saltsng butter is poor econ
omy. Nothing is SO apparent as the
lack of salt in dairy products.
Never closely cover milk still warm
with animal heat. This will cause 1t
to hold a fetid, cowy odor. and pro
notes the growth of bacteria that
hasten souring.
The average size of the farm dairy
herd Is three or four cows. These
a be made a source of great profit.
Roots and silage are about equal in
value for f%attening wether lambs. II
any difference it is in favor of the
roots.

NEW MILKING MACHINE.
Device That Is Winning Favor In
New Zealond.

From New Zealand comes the re-
being installed In one Of the diaries.
The new machine does not follow the
~pulsating method at all, but milks by
the pressure of air bags on the teats.
The process of milking is a silent one,
and the milk Is drawn thoroughly, ac-
cording to witnesses of the operation
of the new machine. 1t is planned to
milk IL cows at a time with this ma
chine and with 1t little power is re-
quired. The owners of the new in
vention claim for 1t the following
points:
(a) As compared with all suction
machines:
1. The teat is not ~congested by the
unnatural action of as a milk
extractor. Hence the cow lets down"
freely instead of resisting, and there.
fore (a) there Is no need for hand
stripping; CD the COW Is not dried
or" and (c) no harm whatever Is
lone II the machine Is left or longer
than needed.
2. charlottesville milk does not
pass through rubber tubing.
(b) AS compared with all known
attempts at non-suction machines:
l.. Absolute softness OF fluid pres.
sure as c~ontrasted with pressure OF
anything solid.
2. Absence OF wheels, pistons or
other mechanism In region of teat.
3. No Harvesting around the cows
body is included in the attachment
gear.
