10 Deliver Cream Sweet.

These are directions of Professor
Dean as presented in the Canadian
Dairyman:
Clean the pals, cans and separator
daily or twice daily.
Cool cream to 80 degrees by the use
of ice or cold water.
Have rich cream, testing not less
than 25 to 80 per cent fat.
Fresh cream should not be added
to older cream until after it Is cooled
to 80 degrees.
Proper weighing, measuring and sam
pling are essential for satisfaction
among the patrons.
Cream should be pasteurlzed and
cooled at the creamery, especially in
the fall and winter, to remove obiec-
tlonable tiayors and to add keeping
quality to the butter.
Cooperation ON the part of the drlv-
ers, patrons and creamerymen Is neces-
sary in order to improve the quality of
the cream and butter.

Age Limit of Dairy Cows.
A bulletin from the Wisconsin sta
ton states that COW Is at her best
during her fifth and sixth years, up
to which time the production of milk
and butter fat by cows in normal con-
ditlon increases each year. The length
of time the COW will maintain her max
imum production depends upon her
constitution, strength and the care
with which she is fed and managed.
A good dairy COW should not show any
marked falling off until after ten years
of age. Many excellent records have
been made by COWS older than this.
The quality of the milk produced by
heifers is somewhat better than that
of older cows, for u decrease has been
noted of one-tenth to two-tenths Of 1
per cent in the average fat content for
each year until the cows have reached
the full age. This is caused by the in
crease in the weight of the cows with
advancing age. At any rate, there
seems to be parallelism between the
two sets of figures for the same cows.
Young animals use n portion of their
food for the formation of body tissue.
and it is to be expected, therefore, that
heifers will require larger portion of
nutrients for the production of milk or
butter fat than do other cows After
certain age has been reached, on the
average seven years of age, the food
required for the production of unit
OF milk or butter fat again increases,
both as regards dry matter and the
digestible components of the food.
a good milk COW of exceptional
strength kept under favorable condi-
TONS whose digestive system has not
been impaired by oyerfeeding or
crowding for high results. should con-
tinue to be a profitable producer till
her twelfth year, although the econ
omy of her production is apt to be
somewhat reduced before this age Is
reached.

situated in territory awarded to Hon

boundary dispute between Honduras
and Nicaragua by the king of Spain.
Reports were current some months

meeting, that Nicaragua expected the

In the production of clean milk no
one thing Is of more importance than
keeping the cows out of the mud.

turned each day for their drink and
exercise are knee deep with mud and

THAW TRIAL RESUMED WITH
JOROR BOLTON IN THE BOX.
Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Again on Stand. --Cross
Examination Began by Jerome.

New York, Feb. 20.-Under cross
examination by District Attorney Je-
rome, Evelyn Nesbit Thaw made an
admission that drew Harry Thaw half
out of his chair to search anSiously
the face of his young wife. She ad-
mitted to Jerome that few weeks af-
ter that fateful interview with Thaw
In Parls--that nerve-raclking conver-
sation which lasted through the night,
In which she told Thaw as her reason
for refusing his offer OF marriage, of
the indignites to which she had been
subjected by Stanford White-she had
written two letters to White from Bou
logne. Thaw's face paled at the rev.
elation, and apparently it was only
with difficulty he restrained himself.
Before Attorney jerome had had
the witness in the chair FOR half an
hour he had secured from the court
a ruling which apparently opens the
way for bringing into the trial of
Harry X. Thaw all manner of evil
dence which may tend to discredit
the defendants wife. Heretofore it
has been held that the rules of evi-
dence protected young Mrs. Thaw
and that regardless of whether her
story was true or false, the fact that
she had told it to her husband was
the one essential point. Mrs. Thaw
had been allowed to repeat the story
so that the jury might judge as to
it's effect in unbalancing the mind of
the man on trial for the murder of
Stanford White. The district attorney
opened the way for the introduction
of testimony tending to show the

she replied, affirmatively.
Mr.. Delmas, Thaw's leading coun-
sci, objected strongly to the question,
but Justice Fitzgerald held it to be
competent as tending to show the
credibility of the witness. Whether
Mr.. Jerome intends to take advantage
of the ruling in an attempt to throw
doubt upon the truth of the story, or
whether Justice Fitzgerald intended
his ruling to cover the whole subject
of Mrs. aThaw's evidence, the future
conduct of the case alone can deter

Mrs. Thaw had told of the conversa-

as "the pie girl" She was Is years
of age and wore only gauze dress

Mr.. Jerome questioned Mrs. Caine
closely and brought out many state

these was the fact that Mrs. Nesbit
had not accompanied her daughter
and Harry Thaw to Europe in 1901
