There was no verbal response to the
appeal. only an uneasy movement; but
her period of waiting was extremely
brief.
"Oh, / knew you would; you have
all been so kind and considerable"
She arose, resting her dainily gloved
hand upon Brant's blue sleeve. her
pleased eyes smiling up confidingly
into his. Then with a charming smile,
"Oh, Mr.. Wynkoop, | have decided to
claim your escort to supper. You do
not care"
Wynkoop bowed, his face like a
poppy.

WET OR DRY FEEDING.
One Farmer Who Believes in the lat
ter Method and Why.

There are still some farmers that
feedbran, middlings or any other
ground feed wet. Some give as rea-
son for this that COWS eat it sooner.
That's true, and just what should be
avoided The animals bolt it down
without chewing and mixing it with
saliva properly Eaten in this way the
full value is not got out OF ground
feed.
farmer who cooked the grain for
his cows once told me that a certain
quantity of it would increase about
one-third in bulk by the addition Of
water and the cooking. 1t required no
arguing TO convince me of this. He
did. however, not convince me that
the feeding value was also increased
Made more palatable? Perhaps so.
But am not sure of this. for we have
striking example in human kind.
Some persons want everything edible
seasoned with half a dozen different
kinds of spices, while others prefer TO
eat grain, nuts. etc, raw. May 1t not
be. asks the writer in Farmers Re-
view, that when cows have not become
used to wet feed yet, they prefer 1t
dry? This is, perhaps, not easy TO
ascertain. for though man may be a
hog at times, he can not become a
COW temporarily.
Another thing. if the ground feed
is fed as a sIop in the hangers, it is
very difficult TO keep them perfectly
sweet and clean. Some feed in pals,
but that is lot of work.
Some think that less is wasted when
feeding wet, for ground feed is blown
away easier. There isn't much In this
for some COWS will spatter wet feed,
too. 1t may be all right to feed wet to
old animals that have poor molars.
Ordinarily it does not pay to keep
cows until they can not chew any
more.

Indeed? She appeared to me to be

Partially. She manages to do

ONE HUNDRED COWS
And the Dimensions Of the Silo Neees
sary to Supply Them with Food.

A silo to feed a hundred cows should
be % feet i'm diameter and 30 feet
deep. Two such silos will easily keep
200 cows and the calves in silage by
the year. In the larger silos the loss
is less from outside waste and there
is only one top layer to be thrown into
the manure pile. A 50-cow silo should
be 20 feet in diameter and 80 feet
deep. Two of this medium size are
often better for the 100-cow dairy than
having all the feed put into a large
silo. for while there is the loss from
the greater surface, there are often
times when the crops are not large
enough to completely FIJI a large silo.
that makes II worth while to have a
smaller one. To make good silage the
mass must be great enough to give
depth TO produce pressure and raise
the heat and to exclude the air

GOOD COWS GIVE GOOD MILK.
But Feed and Care-Exercise Strong
Influence Also.


There is a wide difference in the
richness of the milk of different cows
Many dalrymen still cling to the idea
that feed has more TO do with the
quality of the milk than anything else
and 1t is pretty hard to make them be
lieve that COW will give as rich milk
when fed on timothy hay as she will
when fed on clover or alfalfa. Prof
Dean says that fat is the most vari.
able portion of the milk. 1t may vary
from two to ten per cent. with indi.
vidual cows. The milk of the whole
herd seldom varies more than one-half
20 one per cent from day to day. The
chief causes of the variation in the
percentages of fat i'm milk are breed,
individuality, frequency of milking.
nights or mornings milk, period Of
lactation, care and comfort of the COW,
the feed of the COW. The more fire.
quently the cows are MIXED, the high
er will be the percentage of fat in
their milk. AS the period of lactation
advances, the milk usually becomes
richer in fat and total solids. The bet
ter care the cows receive, the more
comfortable they are made, the more
favorable are the conditions for secret
ing rich milk. Also, whether the cows
are stripped or not will also make a
difference in the richness of their
milk. Proper manipulation of the I'D
der will also increase the percentage
Of fat in milk Feed however, has
very little to do with the richness OF
the milk. 1t must be concluded that
the COW governs the quality or rich
ness of the milk, hence instead of try
ing to feed fat into the milk the work
of the dairyman should be in selecting
and breeding cows that will give rich
milk. This is a very important mat
ter. and frequently the margin be-
tween profit and loss may be traced
to this very lack of quality.

Won His Own Case.

A novel, interesting trial was dis
posed of in Judge Dundon's court yes
terday in which the defendant a rug
ged laborer on the farm of Thos. Henry
Clay, came out victorious, pleading his
own case.
The principals in the litigation were
Thos. Morris of this city, and James
Feeback residing on the farm of R, M.
Harris. Mr.. Harris leased his farm to
Ed. Grace, who later sold his contract
to Morris. Grace contracted with
Feeback to cultivate the crop but a
difference arose between the latter and
his new landlord, Feeback ceasing to
further comply with his agreement.
Morris sought possession of the house
occupied by Feeback but the latter
would not surrender the premises. with
the result that Morris swore out a
forcible detainer, the writ being return
able before Judge undon. The case
went to trial with Judge Russell Mann
representing the plaintiff, the defend.
ant pleading his own case as above
stated. Feeback surprised the specta-
tors with his knowledge of legal lore,
making his own statement before the
jury, interrogating the plaintiff and
his witnesses, and introducing his own
witnesses in the order in which their
testimony would appear to the best adj
vantage. The jury in their verdict
found for the defendant.

Airship Engaged.

The Blue Grass Fair Association has
closed contract for a Knabenshue air
ship to make daily ascensions during
the Fair. This contract was made last
week, after a full consideration of all
the different airship propositions OF the
country. The Knabenshue ship was
chosen because in its demonstrations Of
the practicability of aerial navigation.
Mr.. Roy Knabenshue himself will come
to the Fair to make the ascents. and
there is no doubt that his flights will
be most successful provided weather
conditions are not absolutely adverse.
When it is raining it is of course not
possible to fly an airship, nor can a
satisfactory flight be made when high
wind prevails. Under any other cir
cumstances, however, the flights can
be carried out, and on each day of the
Fair some two or three exhibitions will
be given at different periods, so that
all who come may have the opportunity
to witness them. An aerodrome tent
will also be provided wherein the ship
will be kept when not making it's as
cents. In this tent will be a demon
strator who will explain every detail,
and thus visitors will be given oppor-
tunity both to see the ship in motion
and to examine it at their leisure.
The Knabenshue sirship will be the big
feature of the Blue Grass Fair every
day from August 18th to 18th inclusive
