AN ESSENTIAL FACTOR.
The Dairy Woman and the Part She
Has Had in Developing the
Dairy Cow.

1t is doubtful if any of the valuable
breeds of dairy cows could have been
produced without the help of women.
That is, these breeds have been
brought to their high state of perfec-
ton because the people that have
had the care of them for centuries
have been mostly women. The cows
of the Channel Islands and the cows
of Holland have been under the super.
vision of women for so long time
that the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary"
Imagine, says Farmers Review,
some of our western cowboys trying
to develop breed of dairy cows. ANY
dairy breed they might evolve would
have the ability to run four-minute
gait and to scale fences with little
trouble. The COW naturally partakes
something of the nature of the one
that has charge of her. Kindness has
made the Dutch COW and the Jersey
COW kind. Harshness would have
made them into animals that few
could milk. Gentleness has made
them of quiet disposition, inclined
to chew the cud in contentment, in a
feeling of perfect security. This con
tentment has made the work of the
mammary glands easy and great capa.
cities for the production of milk and
cream have been evolved.
The United States is little likely to
have a distinctive breed of dairy
COWS. In the main, our cows here
are in the care of men, especially in
the larger dairy establishments. On
the farms where women milk that is
the only part they have in dairying
Men have most of the care of the ami
mails.
The dairy woman is best ADAPTED
to take care of the dairy COW. If
more women take up dairying as an
occupation it will be a good thing for
the dairy interests They appreciate
the value of the fine points in dairy.

NOTHING HID FROM KAISER.
How German Emperor Keeps In Touch
with Worlds Affairs.

The German emperors interest in
everything that goes on in the world
is well known, but few are aware of
the trouble he takes to keep in touch
with current affairs. According to a
Munich newspaper the kaiser reads
at least three papers every day chang.
ing the list several times a week in
order to become fully acquainted with
the ideas of all political parties in the
state. But this by no means exhausts
his appetite for information. Every
day the ministry of foreign affairs, as
we'll as that Of the interior, has to pro.
vide newspaper cuttings, properly
named and dated, and pasted on slips
ready for the emperors perusal
These he carefully reads, making mar
ginal notes as he goes along, and they
are then scrupulously classified and
put aside ready for immediate refer.
ence. Often, too, the emperor asks
for cuttings relating to the particular
technical subjects in which for the
time he is specially interested.

Pure Food.

The pure food law does not prohibit
the sale of Cream of Tartar Baking
Powders because Cream of Tartar is
as pure as Alum-but it is well
known fact that a baking powder in
which Alum is used instead of Cream of
Tartar is less injurious. Dr. Herman
Reinbold, the expert German chemist,
in a recent official report concerning
Baking Powders, declares that a pure
Alum baking powder is better and less
injurious than the so-called Cream of
Tartar powders, He says that if the
quantity of alum contained in a sui.

a batch of bread or cakes for an ordl-

mouthful Of food, and taken into the
stomach of any one person, no matter
how delicate it could do no harm.

DAIRY DOTS AND DAsHEs.

The man that owns a hand sonar.
ator can feed warm skimmilk TO his
stock.
The average persons idea of clean.
illness corresponds with everyday
conditions and conveniences.
A COW so MIXED that she does not
enjoy the operation will soon retire
from the business of giving milk.
Generally the failure to make 6Irv.
ing pay is due more to inefficient rsan.
agment than to poor cows.
In purchasing a COW for butter and
milk do not be carried away by the
breeding of the animal, but see that
she has individual merit.
A gallon of so per cent. cream
weighs about eight pounds and five
ounces. If it weighs less than that, il
will surely test less than 80 per cent.

Man is the only animal that laughs

disappoints our expectations in tribes.
We shed tears from sympathy with

rather than serious reflections on it,
William Hazlitt.
