Dairy Notes,

Large yields per animal means less
cost In making them
Unless a big COW IS an extra mixer,
she Is less profitable than smaller
one that is fair mixer.
The butter product Of all cows Is
more or less Influenced by the care and
feeding Of the animal.
An advantage Of dlirying in connec-
ton with grain raising is that 1t makes
a home market for nome grown crops.
In churning il tile friction Is too
violent the butter IS produced too
speedily, 1t is deficient in color and
does not keep well.
Success in home dairying depends
upon four things: lhe COW, her Gaze
and feeding. the manufacture Of the
produce, the marketing of the same.
With the dairy COWS It is not neces-
sary at any time taat the water be
very cold, but it is OF the very first
Importance that it De pure and whole

ing are so great TINT the butter be
comes soft, deficient IN color ana does
not keep well.
The speed Of the churn depends upon
the size of the churu and the amount
Of cream. but 1t should be turned 81
as to give the greatest conclusion to
the cream.
When the churu Is quite filled it IS
almost impossible 10 produce butter,
not only because there IS want Of air,
but also because the cream swells IN
the process of churuing.
The value OF cream IS based on the
dry solids 1t contains ana cream from
different cows and from the same COWS
ut different periods OF the year has q
surprising difference IN puttcr value.
Dairying has this advantage, that is

TO this may be added the fact that the

Another large contract for timed
meats for the British Army has been
placed with Libby, Mcneil & Libby Of
Chicago, through the Director of Sup
plies Department of the British War
Office. This contract was a compet!-
tive affair, England, Canada, Australia
and Brazil entering with tenders. 1t
was quality and method of packing that
got the Chicago firm the business. Gen
eral Clayton of the War Department
In an interview, according to the Lon
don Standard. stated that the British
Fooistuffs supplied by Chicago, and
they have every confidence in the manu-
features entering Britain from the
Stock Yards.
THE foods for the Army will be
packed under the supervision of British
representatives at the invitation Of the
packers he said. although the Gov.
eminent is ready to rely upon the new
Pure Food Regulations recently inaug-
urated in the United States. All the
talk about the inclliciency of the new
law is sheer nonsense. British officers
in America have gone fully into the
matter and the authorities are per-
fectly satisfied to place orders in Chi
cagO when conditions call for outside
supplies of canned meats"

Parliamentary Language.

Representative Champ Clark Of Mis-

Mr.. Johnson he said, was engaged
in debate with an Illinois congressman
and called him an ass. This was unpar-
.Iiamentary, Of course, and had to be
withdrawn. Pursuant TO the order OF
the speaker Mr. johnson said:

THE RISE OF EMPORIA KAN.
How 1t Got to Be County Seat in the
Early Days.

How 1t Got to Be County Seat in the
Early Days.
The early settlers Of Kansas remember
MANY exciting times OcCasioued by tOun-
ty seat fights. Many Of these fights re-
suited in the killing Of some of the par
ticipants But when EmPoria wanted
to get the county seat away from Amer
icus il set its brains to work and took It
without raising a disturbance. AmericuS
was unaware of the trick that was be
ing played.
When Empora conceived the idea of
becoming the capital of the county the
south line of Breckenridge county, now
Lyon county, was Il short distance south
of the town. Its citizens circulated "A pc
tition asking the Legislature to cut n
strip off from the north end of the county
and to add a like strip to the south end.
thus making Emporia close 10 the center
of the county. Americus heard of the
proposed change and got out remon-
STRANGE, which received as many or more
signatures than & petition.
At that time the state capital was LIE
compton and the only way TO get there
was on horseback Each town prepared
To present lis size OF the case 10 the Leg
iSaturc and ,he EmpOria man started
with his petition for lecompton. On his
way. however, he was stricken with tc-
yer and ague and was detained on ac-
count of the illness. The Americas man

just what kind of deal was made is not
known to the public, but the remon-
STRANGE never got to the Legislature, and
when the petition was presented the NUM-
Der Of siguers had greatly increased since
it had left Emooria. The Ancricus man
suddenly came into possession of 500
and the title to several town lots, it Is
said.
Owing to the poor facilities Of com.
munication in those days the people of
Americas did not lind out how they had
been dupcd until it was too late .,obody
opposed the change in the Legislature
the petition WAS granted and Emporia
got the county seat without much trou.

Farmers and Poultry Fanctcrs.

The farmer has real grievance
against the poultry faucicr, in that he

teal utility, says Farming, whether
the hens from which he has been breed
Ing We're producing 60 eggs a year or
200 made no difference. His whole aim
has been to breed out a fowl flight
feather or two, or to create better
comb, or eyes of better tint at a
sacrifice of everything else. The -e-
suit is that when farmer goes into
the market to buy thoroughbredS with
his money in his pocket ready and will
ing to pay for the besr stock, he not
only often pays for qualities he does
not need, but actually pays premium
for something that has been obtained
ut sacrifice Of the very qualities
which he does need. There are few
men, however raising thoroughbred
stock that is bred to lay" or to meet
certain market demands. and those are
the men that should be patronized.
