 A few days after David's downfall Ma tilda came down with typhoid fever and was critically i'll for weeks. and the gos- sips of course laid 1t all at David's dor.
 Finally the day that marked the close of David's year of probation came around and the gloom that hung about the Bow. CTS homestead, had 1t been one whit thicker, would have obscured the sun. David sat dlsconsolate beneath the willow tree and the chickens moved about in , subdued sort of way-all seemed dark and drearq, with no silver lining to the cloud. But there was one, nevertheless.
 Along toward evening David spied Til. lies small brother, Cyrus, coming along the road, kicking up the dust with his bare feet and whlstling dlscordantly, and greatly to David's astonishment, ha turned in.
 Hello, Davei" he called. Got somethin' fer yer. Say. kin I see tn colt? Bil Sammis says it's CT dandy"

 ''Nothin' but CT letter from Till' For moment David held It. turning 1t uneer- tainly In his hands; then he tore 1t open resolutely.

THE GOOD MIXER
MAKES THE GOOD COW
he HegeIund Is nd Is Claimed
VIII

In recent bulletin Of the New
York Cornell station, dealing with
his subject, Professors Wing and
'oord say.
Milking the dairy COW Is such
simple operation and one that occu-
)ies In the aggregate so much of the
iairyman's time. that 1t is easy to be-
some careless about It and to look
ipon the operation as one not requir-
ng skill nor demanding scientific In
sestigation. The feeding of the herd
has received careful attention, both by
Investigators and farmers, until it is
now probably correct to say that the
1airy COW In the hands of the pro-
gressive dairyman is more sclentiflcal.

may be mentioned. A few years ago
this man, becoming dissatisfied with
the kind OF cattle that he was run.
ming bought n registered bull and be.
gan TO grade his cattle up. by using
good registered Shorthorn bulls, which
he chances every three years. and by
selecting good.gradc COWS. he has been
grading up his herd until now his cat
tie outweigh and outseli those In his
immediate ncighborhood. AZ first his
noighbors made considerable sport of
him for importing registered stock
and pruphesied that he would make a
failure of it. Instead of failure his
cattle are so much better in quality
that they may be distinguished long
distance away merely by their body
outline and their increased size. In
order TO get the most good out of his
animals this man was, of course,
Obliged TO do a good deal more work
in taking care of them. He found II
necessary to line ride" his range
every day In order TO keep his stock
from straying and to see that his bulls
served his own cows and not those OF
his neigbbors. This extra work has
paid him well, as he rarely loses cat
tie through straying and does not need
to belong TO any of the roundup asso-
Citations. The prime value of this
work is shown in his calf crop, which
averages about 90 per cent, while that
of his uelghbors averages only about
GO per cent.
Now that the range is becoming so
crowded that it is difficult to get suf-
ficient grass to fatten steers. he is
preparing TO increase his breeding
stock and cut down the number of his
beef steers, so that when he can no
longer grow beef he will be in n pc
sition to dispose of high class OF
feeding cattle, which he will aim to
sell as yearlings or two-year-olds TO
eastern feeders. This he can do with
out any sacrifice whatever, as he has
type of cattle that is exactly such
as the feeders want but find 1t diff.
cult 20 obtain.
What has been said of cattle holds
equally true of horses, To-day there
is almost no place for the small horse
or "cayuse." while good animals are
in demand. That one can afford &c
raise good horses on the range has
been demonstrated by stockman liv'
ing in western North Dakota. During
a period of low prices for range horses
this man bought high-prlced stallion.
With this animal and nine range
mares Of average size and quality as
nucleus he built up a fine herd
When the stallion died he was re

with the left hand on the hind quarter
and the right hand in front on the fore
quarter. the thumbs being placed on
the outside of the udder and the four
fingers in the division between the two
halves OF the udder. The hands are
now pressed toward each other and at
the same time lifted toward the body
OF the COW. This pressing and lifting
is repeated three times. the milk col
lected in the milk cistern is then
milked out, and the manipulation re-
peated until no more milk is obtained
in this way, when the left quarters are
treated in the same manner. (Fig. ~
Second manipulaton.-The glands
are pressed together from the side.
The fore quarters are milked each by
itself by placing one hand, with fingers
spread, on the outside of the quarter
and the other hand in the division be-
tween the right and left fore quar-
ters; the hands are pressed against
each other and the teat then milked.
When no more milk is obtained by
this manipulation, the hind quarters
are milked by placing a hand on the
outside OF each quarter, likewise with
fingers spread and turned upward, but
with tlS thumb just in front of the
hind quarter. The hands are lifted
and grasp into the gland from behind
and from the side, after which they
are lowered TO draw the milk The
manipulation is repeated until no more
milk is obtained. (Fig. ~
Third manipulation.-The fore teats
are grasped with partly closed hands
and lifted with a push toward the
body Of the COW. both at the same
/ time. by which method the glands are
| pressed between the hands and the
body: the milk is drawn after each
three pushes. When the fore teats arr
emptied the hind teats are MIXED in
the same manner. (FIg. 81

Of stables has also been the subject of
much discussion, but it is certainly a
fact that the art of milking has not
received the attention IL deserves, at
least no; until very recently"
The bulletin records experiments to

the milk secreted by the COW, being

herds of the Hegelund method of milk

the Wisconsin station. A comparison

careful stripping as ordinarily prac-

weighings, sampling and recording of
weights to be done. We pay at this
station Is cents an hour for milking.
This may be considered rather high
price under present conditions in the
northwestern states. The after-milk-
ing of 20 cows would take a man
about two hours a day and would
therefore cost 80 cents. We have seen
that we obtain on the average an inn
mediate increase of about one pound
of milk and one-tenth of a pound of
butter fat per COW by the process of
after-milking, or from 20 cows, two
pounds of butter fat. If butter fat is

figure), the value of the increased

would be q gain of 20 cents day per
20 cows, or about $50 year, as the
direct and immediate gain from prac-
ticing the manipulation method.
1t is pointed out by Prof. Woll that,
besides the immediate gain in milk
and butter fat secured, the method has
the decided advantage of stimulating
milk secretion and thus prolonging the
lactation period.
The results obtained by the New
York Cornell station bear out in gen.
eral those of the Wisconsin station
The gains from after-milking varied
from OF to 1.94 pounds Of milk per
head per day containing from 0.079 to
OH pound of butter fat. The results
were slightly in favor of the HegelGnd
method as compared with stripping

GOLD OUTPUT OF
NEVADA

CHICAGO, May 2S.--- Director of thu
Mint George E. Roberts, in an inter
view accorded today to representa-
tive of the Journal of Finance, stated
that he considered Nevada likely to
show greater increase in gold produc.
tion the next few years than any other
region of the world.
He fguresthe Nevada production this
year will amount to $4,000 900 or at
least one-half again more than last
year.
Our report on the production Of
gold for the United States in 1906.
which IS now being compiled, he said,
- but will not be out for six months,
will show a production for Nevada Of
approximately 1$O,0O0,6o0 as against
s5,359 100 the previous year.
But last years figures do not do
Justice to present production, which is
at rate at least one-half greater. I
feel confident that Nevada in 1907 will
produce at least $15,000,000 gold, and
will rank close to Alaska, Colorado and
California in gold output.
The gold mining Industry Of Ne
vada, as it exists today, at places like
Goldfield, Tonopah and Rhyolite. is
only in its infancy. There is evidently
almost limitless amount of gold under
the desert floor fthis State.
The gold production of the Unite d
States in 1906 was about $4,000, 900
as against $8S,1sO,7 700 in 1905. 1 be-
lieve that in 1907, thanks chiefly to
the increase in Nevada, the production
will be above e100,000,0Oo. Such gains
in gold pr duction are the financial sal
walton of this country. Had it not been
for the enormous increase in our gold
supply, enabling large, safe expan-
sion of ecredits, we would have had
serious business reaction long ago.
