WHAT MILK COSTS.
Result of Tests by the Cornell Uni
versity Experiment Station.

In a years observation and record
keeping with the dairy COWS, their
feed, etc., Cornell university finds the
cost of producing milk as follows:
lst With a fairly good herd, care.
fully fed and kept, milk can be pro.
duced for IS cents hundred pounds,
and fat for 16 cents pound for the
lost of the food consumed
I'd. That individuals of the same
breed vary more widely in milk and
butter production than do the breeds
themselves.
Sd. The large animals consumed
less pounds of dry material per 1000
pounds live weight a day than did the
smaller animals. +
4th. That in general the best yields
of fat were obtained from COWS that
gave at least fairly large flow of
milk.
5th. In general, the cows consum.
ing the most food produced both milk
and fat at the lowest rate.
9Th. For the production of milk
and fat there is no food as cheap as
good pasture grass. '.: =

The Profitable Cow.

It is often urged that the average
farmer should have cow that can
give milk profitably and whose steers
will make profitable beef animals. The
average production of the COWS of
Wisconsin is about 100 pounds of but
ter per year per COW; then will not
the average cow Of the average farm
er fall to make any profit in butter
production, and observation teaches us
that there Is no profit in raising the
steers from those COWS. Is it not bet
ter to have COW that can do one
thing at a profit than it is to have one
that can do two things at loss? And
the breeding of dairy cows with the
milking function highly developed and
capable OF perpetuating that function
in their offspring, is sufficiently diff.
cult, without being handicapped bys
trying to breed the opposite or beef1ng
temperament in the same animal. II.

Some dairy stables are free board
ing houses.
The proof of the butter is the smell
of the churn.
Better COWS, better feed, better care
of milk make sure better profits.
Light, pure air and cleanliness are
the three cardinal needs of the dairy
stable.
If a COW is to be kept clean the
stall where she stands must not be
too wide.
It is more profitable to have four
cows of great producing power than
to have eight cows of ordinary pro-
ducing power.
The best way that 1 have found to
keep cream without ice in summer is
to dig hole II feet deep and four feet
square near the separator house. AS
SOON as cream is separated put it in a
bucket with tight lid and hang it in
the hole.
In test between hand and machine
milking the machine won out. They
stripped the cows cleaner than when
MIXED by hand. One man can care
for five machines and with them milk
a herd of ten COWS in about one-fourth
of the time required to do it by hand.

Garget or caked udder is quite a
common trouble which occurs usually
just before or just after calving. The
udder becomes hard and the glands
are enlarged and feverish. There are
usually no bad consequences from the
trouble unless it is neglected. 1t is
caused by large supply of milk re-
naming in the udder and is some
times aggravated by neglecting to
milk out or by the COW standing in a
draft of cold air. In cases of this
kind it is not we'll to milk the COW
out clean as the irritation caused by
milking makes matters worse The
best procedure is to only partially
empty the udder and then reduce the
inflammation with a fermentation of
warm water The mere sucking of a
hungry calf and the working of the
teats will sometimes help. 1t is also
we'll to rub the affected parts we'll
with the palm Of the hand after each
milking and rub in little camphor-
ated ointment or some unsalted lard
or oily substance. 1t takes several
days to get rid of the trouble.

WIFE is TOO EXTRAVAGANT
HOWARD GOULD SAYS HER tenn
PER ALSO ANNOYED HIM.
Millionaire Makes Reply to Charges
of Spouse in Suit for
Separation.

New York, June 3.-Two of the coun>
ter charges in Howard Goulds reply
to his wifes suit for separation have
been announced on the authority of
Mr.. Could One is that Mrs Gould
is Unfortunately extravagant. The other
is that her temper was source Of
constant annoyance to Gould, and
many times placed him in embarrass-
ing positions with his friends, be-
sides being a barrier to his domestic
happiness.
Mr.. Gould also says that his wife's
display of jewels in public was a
source of annoyance to him.
In his reply Mr.. Gould will tell of
suits brought against his wife by
tradesmen. Some of these were for
dresses and others for jewels. He
will say that his wife was reckless
in her expenditures, and will cite
these suits as proof
Mrs. Gould's defense to these vari-
GUS suits was always that she had
been imposed on by the tradesmen,
and the prices charged were too
high.
In citing instances of what Gould
terms his wife's temper and generally
unlovable habits" he will tell in his
reply of one instance which occurred
on board his yacht Niagara, in 1904,
when on cruise in the Mediterran-
can
MRS. Gould objected to the whis-
kers of the boatswain on Niagara"
said friend Of Mr.. Gould 1T is only
an instance of her eccentricity. One
day while Gould was ashore Mrs.
Gould told the boatswain she serious
ly objected to his beard. The color,
she said, annoyed her. The boat
swain's beard was red and bushy. He
was proud of it.
He completely lost heart one day
when Mrs. Gould ordered him to shave
off his offending whiskers. As Gould
was not around the boatswain had no
one to whom he could appeal. He
went ashore and had his beard shaved
off.
When he returned and reported to
Mrs. Gould she was in no pleasanter
frame of mind than before. She told
the boatswain the shave had not inn
proved his appearance at all.
when Mr.. Gould returned to the
yacht she demanded that the boat
swain be dismissed. Gould remon.
! strated and told her the man was en-
gagged on a years contract. Mrs.
Gould insisted, and finally Gould yield
ed, paying the boatswain all the
money his contract called for.
