Dairy Idols.

Cows becomes favorites with their
owners not altogether by reason of the
milk they produce. We have known
cows that their owners thought great
deal of because of the kindly disposi-
ton OF the animals. One COW that the
writer remembers gave but a few
quarts of milk day, but she was pet
of the family. She would prefer the
company of members of the family
rather than that of other cows. If the
cows were being taken to pasture she
would insist on walking by the side of
the one in charge of the herd. 1t Is
the butcher, and many people will not
do 1t. Instead, the animals are kept
FOR dozen years, and not only allowed
to eat up the proyender without re-
turning a compensation for it, but are
allowed to add to the herd more cows
after their own ability not to produce
milk. These may fairly be called dairy
idols. Their owners claim great things
for them without being able to substan-
late the truth Of what they say.
But the family pet is not the only
brand Of dairy idol. There are the gen.
eral purpose cows that quite generally
have the entire confidence of their own
ers as to their great value. They are
idols that the single-purpose COW men
have demolished again and again, to
their own satisfaction, but they are still
to be found all over the land.
The daily idol is thing that can be
dispensed with to the advantage Of
the owners of the cows. The warfare
against them will be kept up, and little
by little the factors we are warning
against will disappear. It may, how
ever, take about as long to eliminate
them as it took Christianity to drive the
Idols out Of the pagan world.-Farmers'
Review.

A Kansas paper says that if all the
hogs raised in that State last year
could be rolled into one hog, it could
dig the Panama Canal in two roots
and half, and wants to know how
long 1t would take Missouri hen to
scratch out the canal. We don't know
about that, but we do know that the
Missouri hen can pay for the big ditch
in one and half years.-Humansvill

Not the FARMERS rhi. rtme.

Prof. Trueman of the University of
Illinois, after making searching in
vestigatiOn, declared that milk dealers
of Chicago Systematically adulterate
and water milk delivered to families
in the poorer sections of the city. In
many instances the stuff is entirely un-
ft for food. In the better residence
districts, however, the milk was nearly
always up to standard.

Use no wooden milk vessels, and
after washing milk vessels set them

HACKETT UP AGAINST IT
Must Decide Between Child and
Woman in Case.
II He Fights to Retain Baby Wife
VIII Name the CO.
respondent.

New York. July Ills baby or the
woman in the case?
That's the query which has Broadway
guessing In the affair OF James K. Hack
EFT, who arrives tomorrow on the French
Liner La Bretagne, to answer the suit OF
his wife. Mary Mannering, for divorce.
If Hackett will give up his four-year-
old child, now in the wife's possession.
she, II is said. will shield the name OF
the woman who Is accused in the suit.
Any attempt by Hackett to fight. It is
said. will result in the publication of the
name Of the woman with whom. his wife
believes. he is infatuated. What Will
Hackett do? That's what's puzzllng
Broadway
On June I. three days before Hacketrs
departure for Europe. his wife obtained
possession of the child by a writ Of
habeas corps II has since been in her
custody, and TO keep Il from the actor
she is said to have employed her only
weapon-the threat Of publicity for the
woman in the case.
Not that, so far as Broadway isacon-
cerned. such a publication would be much
news.
For a long time II has been whispered
that Hackett was on extremely friendly
terms with a star OF one OF last season S
plays on the Great White Way, but
Rialto whispers are a different thing TO
formal mention in q suit for divorce, and
when Hackett appears tomorrow among
his cronies many a one will ache TO ask
the question, The baby or the lady?'
