WHAT 10 IT,
A Query ~ to the Difference Between
Two Dairy Cows.

Two COWS stand side by side in the
stable. To both cows the same ration
IL fed yet one will extract from that
iood as much again butterfat ~ the
the other. The butter product of the
food is 100 per cent. greater with one
COW that the other. This fact 10 seen
in too great frequency in all herds Of
COWS. What is that inner quality
whereby one COW can produce 30 much
more than the other from the same
food? 1t IL hard to find the right
name for 1t. but 1t may be called
dairy quality" Now, certain breeds
Of cattle are distinguished for this
quality. They have the power to &C.
complish this work In greater pro-
portion and perfection by reason Of
having been bred to that purpose from
long lines of ancestors OF like quality.
One would think that there would not
be dairy farmer In the land who
would not be keenly alive to the neces.
sity and economy Of using such cattle
for dairy purposes. As soon would
we think he would cut hay. with .
reaper and call 1t the best way.
But the so-called general purpose
notion has destroyed In not few men

Dairy Experience Coed for the Man

The value of dairy experience de-
ponds on the man that has tho ex.

the man that never sees and never

To the progressive man experiences

day brings new lesson and every
day he IL more able to do well with
his work than he was the day before.
He figures and calculates. He weighs

WALKER WHISKY
CASE is IN COURT

The dispute between the govern

the labelling EFF Canadian Club
whisky has gone into court. Friday,
Alfred Lucking. acting for the Walk
ers, secured restraining order from
Judge Swan to bar the local customs
officials from preventing the impor-
tation of a shipment OF whisky.
All the discussion arises over the
question as to whether Canadian Club
Is straight" or a compound"
whisky Hiram Walker & Sons claim
that 1t Is a straight whiky, because IT
is pure, but the customs officials hold
that II Is a compound inasmuch as
some elements are removed In the
manufacture and slight amount OF
coloring matter introduced.
The question Is purely technical.
The Walkers object to labelling their
goods as compound" because that
name is generally applied to cheaper
and inferior WHISTLES, made hastily.
instead OF being favored by aging. as
Is the case with the VAUDEVILLE goods.
They hold that the damage done them
by stopping importations until the
question can be settled In court would
amount to 100000 or more.

April 20. Joseph II. Choate, former
ambassador to England, Is to act as
