Modern convenience.

Probably one of the greatest objec-
tons TO rural life, one which has IN
duced many families to forsake the

that medical science has demonstrated
that typhoid and cnteric diseases. 50

largely due to imperfect disposal of
the waste o. the household and barns,

How to obtain Profitable Dairy
Herd,

1. BY keeping yearly record,
weighing the milk and making a fat
test every seventh week. 1t will not
be long before you will have an idea
which COW you should sell. Reduce
the herd down to those that pay.
9 Improve the conditions that sur
round the cows; make their milk
making condition comfortable, yentilate
and tighten the stable.
5. Study the principles of scientific
feeding; don't be scared at the idea
of doing a little hard reading and
study. Get Henry's book on Feeds
and Feeding" and learn the principles
of right feeding for milk.
4. Get a bull of some decided dairy
breed; buy good one; commence to
raise well-bred dairy heifers and de-
velop them into good proflt-making
cows. Half of the cows were not born
to produce milk profitably. They are
the product of the uncowlike ideas of
the men who produced them. There
was no thought or brain work put into
their breeding. How can they do any
better? Any man who will travel The
road we have indicated will in a short
time see wonderful difference in the
profit of his dairy labor, and then he
will see that it is mighty important
to know his cows and what their but
ter costs.-Prof Err, of Kansas Agri-
cultural College.

SENIOR SENATOR FROM VISION.
SIN RETiREs TO PRAC-
TICE LAW.
RESIGNS AS SENATOR
To Continue In Office Would Require
Sacrifices, He Says, That He
Can Not Justify Himself
In Making.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Spooner has
written a letter to Gov. Davidson OF
Wisconsin, rendering his resignation
as q senator of the United States, to
take effcct May / next. The letter
was dated Saturday, but the fact that
such a letter had been written, or
that Mr.. Spooner contemplated re-
signing. did not become known In the
senate until late Sunday, when it Gre
ated great surprise, and the Wiscon.
sin senator at once found himself the
subject of many anxious inquiries.
5acrifice Too Great.
To all he replied that his mind was
fully made up. He found, he said. that
to continue in his present position
would require a sacrifice on his part
h a he could rot justify himself in
making. In reply to questions, he
said he would resume the practice
OF law, but declined to say whether
he would be located in Wisconsin. He
did say, however, that he would con.
tinue to be a citizen OF that state
as long as he lives.
No Official Declaration to Senate.
Vice President Fairbanks was one
OF the few public men to be made
acquainted with Mr.. %Spooner's plans
before he wrote his letter. The knowl-
edge came to hin through the per.
sonal confidence of the senator, but
the latter made no official declara-
ton on the subject to the senate or
its presiding officer. The law does
not require that a r~esigning senator
should do more than Mr.. Spooner has
done, but some senators who have re.
signed have given notice to the sen.
ate.
The Senator's Letter.
In his letter the senator saws. in
part: "On the 4th day of March in.
slant, ! shall have served in all 1G
