Virginia Day Celebration Attracted
People to Exposition.
HOLIDAY NOT GENERALLY OBsERGE0

Big Naval illumination.

Probably five thousand people from
this city went over to the Exposition
yesterday to witness and participate
In the celebration Of Virginia Day nj
the Tcrcentennial. On every trip tn,
steamers plying between here and
the grounds carried crowds and II
was late at night before everybody
came home.
In the evening the big steamers
Montauk and Queen Anne and the
steam yacht lin carried hundreds oil
people out on Hampton Roads to see
the naval illumination. The brilliant
spectacle Of Monday night was re
peated, everyone OF the American and
foreign vessels being electrically out
lined. This probably was the last
time the opportunity of seeing sucl,
sight Will be offered Even IL an.
other illumination is arranged. It ID
hardly probable that there will be-
so nahy ships In the Roads again
during the Exposition.
In addition to the crowds taken
out by the steamers. many people
jo,irneyed down the boulevard and Ia
Old Point. An excellent view of tho
illumination was to be had from this
side OF the Roads.
Virginia Day was not very generally
observed ms holiday in the city. The
custom house closed and Sunday
hours were observed ut the postoffice

Keep the Best Mares.

Breeders should never sell their best
mare when young unless they have
one or more tillies by a first class stall
lion from her to take her place in the
brood mare ranks. Most brood mares
that are not producers of record per-
formers begin to deteriorate. or, rather,
depreciate. in selling value after they
are fourteen years old. The small
farmer who raises but one or two a
year should plan to sell his brood
mares before their values begin to de-
preciate and replace them with their
best FLIES that are from three to five
years old. BY continuing along these
lines. says Horse Breeder, the small
breeder will make more money. as i
rule. than by keeping mares until they
are past use and have really no mar
ket value

The Boar to Select.

The boar should have a neat smooth,
compact body and moderately short,
straight legs. says an authority. Sides
that fit straight edge from the shoul-
der to ham and have great depth and
moderate length, a back that is broad
and straight and deeply f1eshed and
we'll developed hind quarters belong to
the ideal boar type. He should be Sc
lected from large litter of uniform
size and quality. for his progeny is
likely to approximate the average of
the litter of which he is one. His
mother should be a brood SOW Of tested
qualities as Il sucker, for good pigs
cannot be raised if they do not receive
plenty Of milk when young. Quality
IS indicated by a glossy, fine, thick coat.
Clean, hard bone. vigorous constitution
and symmetry of parts should be al
ways demanded in the breeding boar.

In Montana this plant is most COM
monty known by the name wild par
snip" and It appears that from the use
of this name a mistaken notion has
arisen that this is identical with the
common parsnip of the garden. A
number Of cases Of poisoning of both
cattle and sheep have happened in
Montana from eating this species, and
since the term wild parsnip is CON-
monty used to designate the cause it
has come to be believed by a large
number of persons that the garden
parsnip when allowed to escape from
cultivation and run wild acquires poi
sonous properties. The two plants
should be readily distinguished. The

WASHING the UTENSILS :
Care In This Direction Means Prslst
Fer the .pairyman.

Can you never learn
That your milk Will turn
q sless you wash your strainer?
And it should be done Immediately.
First hold it in vertical position and
dash cold water into it. enough to rinse
out all the foam, hair and whatever
other dirt there may be in 1t.
Next take of the cloth, squeeze out
the milky water and thoroughly wash
by rubbing between the hands in gal
lon or more of warm, not hot water,
using several waters. When all the
milk is out, and not till then, scald with
hot water. Let it soak In the hot water
for some time. Use no soap.
If washed in this way your strainer
cloth will not thicken and will keep
clean as long as it will last. We have
used one cloth for the past three
months. Always wet the cloth before
using.
In washing the tin part be careful
about the seams The milk cans and
pals should always be rinsed in cold
or warm water, not hot; then thorough
ly washed in warm water. Rub down
the seams with stick.
If the bottom of the outside is dirty
have a pan and rag that are used for
nothing else and wash the bottom.
Then, using plenty of water in large
dishpan ON a low table or bench, wash
the outside of pals and cans. Wash
the cans carefully. Then scasa the in
side of the vessels with hot water. No
soap or securing powder is needed.
But if your wife does not like to wait
breakfast rinse your strainer and leave
It in cold water Never allow the milk
to dry in it.
The strainer cloth may be made of q
good quality of cheesecloth. A piece
of cloth flour sack two thicEnesses
makes very good one.
The cloth used for washing the milk
things should be used for nothing else.
Rinse and dry it when through with it.
After scalding the milk things put
them where they will drain and keep
clean. 1t is not necessary to sun them
out in the dust, says writer in Farm
Journal

Good Calves Costly.

1t woulu be an easy matter to let a
calf run with its dam for the first six
months of its life, but while the calf
would make a most excellent growth
the practical dairyman realizes that the
calf would cost more than it would be
worth, says writer in American Ag-
riculturist. 1t requires more skill to
raise a dairy calf today than it did a
score of years ago, for, requiring more
of our cows in the way of milk produc-
ton and subjecting them to forced
system of feeding, the calves are
brought forth under more artificial
conditions and are therefore less Wig
orous.

portions of its range to 200 feet in
height and six feet in diameter on the

even in fairly dense stands, covers
from onehalf to one-third of the tree.
The needles are from six to ten inches

ANGUS STEER.

in his loin and rump ana thick in his
thigh. Cat hams do not belong en- a
desirable feeder. In addition, over all
these parts the animal must be smooth
and neat. compact, but not coarse.
These points Il man must have clearly
fixed in his mind before he even be-
gins to look for feeders If he has, then
he can buy right. If he has not he is
at the mercy of the man who sells.
There is one more point that affects
the selling of our finished animals
which must be considered when buy
ing. and that is uniformity.
Avoid OFF colors and assorted sizes.
While color cannot be sold over the
block or canned at the packing house,
yet it undoubtedly helps to sell Il bunch
of steers. A uniformity of color and
of size pleases the eye and tends to
overcome individual defects. In buy
ing if possible obtain steers of uni
form age. size and color.
The great Angus steer shown in the
illustration was reserve to the grand
champion at the international at Chi
cago. He was fed and shown by the
University of Minnesota and sired by
the imported bull owned by the Ohio
State university. His dam was ship
ped to Ohio State university to be bred
again to this bull in hope of securing
similar results.
