STREET WORK
Baxter Springs UNDERGOING the
Greatest Street Improvement
Revival in the History
Of the Town.
EIGHT MILES NEW WALKS.

A leisurely stroll about ouI
little city, and a casual observ'
ance of the street improvements
now going on, will convince any
one that Baxter Springs is an
enthusiastic convert to the doc.
trine of civic pride. About
eight miles of first-class concrete
sidewalks are now in course oi
construction along the principal
thoroughfares of the town, and
while sidewalk building of this
class is necessarily slow, yet the
work is being pushed as rapidly
as possible, and it is estimated
that before the time arrives for
the reunion hosts to assemble
here on the last Monday in Au'
gust, the work will have been
completed and turned over to the
city and the thousands of visitors
who will gather here from the
four corners of the earth to par.
ticipate in our great annual
six-days festival, will be agreea'
bly, surprised to find mile after
mile of concrete sidewalks where
once were only quagmires and
rugged footpaths that made
walking difficult if not perilous.
After a Rip Van Wrinkle sleep
extending over cons of time and
cycles OF unaecountaaie apathy.
our city has at last caught the
fever of municipal progress, and
happily the contagion is spread
ing unto every nook and Granny
within it's corporate limits.
The unsightly perspectives OF
mud holes, frog ponds and lag
oons that by courtesy we have
been wont to denominate streets,
are being trapsformea fFom their

no longer will they be a disgrace
to our town or a theme OF sar.

1t was so bad that he did not think he
could cure it, and did not come again.
Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and
1t cured it up nicely.
Zone day last spring was plowing
for a neighbor who had a horse with
sweeny, and told him about Sloan's
Liniment and he had me get bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like colt.
I'VE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought 1t was
never going to be any good. but we
used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it

about it and he said it was the best
Liniment he ever used.

three times, the sores commenced to

THE MILK FLOW.
Influences Which Affect the Quantity
and Quality.

Practically all the effects produced
by season upon milk yields are irdi.
rect results due primarily to the influ.
ence of the season upon the food of
the animals. At no period is this ef-
feet more marked in ordinary seasons
than when the COWS are first turned to
grass. The sudden change from dry,
and more or less unpalatabe food. to
succulsnt and palatable one, has a
marked effect upon the milk. Pri.
marily it increases the flow of serum,
and this often before the improved
character of the food has had time to
show any effect upon the cellular for,
mat:nn. So, for a day or two the
milk becomes, especially in the morn
ing, exceptionally poor, and a sample
being taken, it looks bad. In such
case the appeal to the COW is useless,
for in the course of a day or two ma.
ture has righted herself and the COW
will give rHoTe normal, though per
haps still & poor milk.
There is one further aspect of milk
production which must now be briefly
considered, says Farmers Voice. name
ly, that 1t is a process highly infu-
enced by the nervous system of the
COW. Whatever eXcites the nervous
system will affect the milk yield, and
mainly by checking cellular growth.
1t is no bad idea to think that it is
the system Of lettering cattle prac-
ticed in Jersey, and the consequent
freedom from excitement, which has
in the course of years influenced
the milk of these COWS, so as to cause
It to be as exceptionally rich in fat,
as compared with other solids, and,
as compared with other COWS in the
relation of cellular growth to serum
secretion
Excitement of any description,
owing to its effect upon the nervous
system of the COW, Immediately affects
her milk yield. The period of heat al
ways causes the milk to fall off in
quality, and, should the cows be
served, so great is the effect upon the
nervous system that the milk Weld
becomes quite abnormal, both the fat
and other solids sinking far below
the standard. But there are other
sources of excitement which NAV have
far more general effect, such as the
worrying of cattle in the fields bv
dogs, flies, or great heat, and the ex.
citement produced by thunderstorms
All animals dread a thunderstorm,
and it has been noticed that the milk
yielded at such time will produce
scours in calves.

may be made into very fair substi'
tute. The accompanying cut shows
how this may be done. A windlass is
placed on a frame made of two by
four inch material securely braced to
prevent shaking, says Hoard's Dairy
man. The size of the box depends on
the size and shape of the well. The
box is hung by two ropes to prevent
its turning and should be strengthened
with galvanized iron at the corners.
If the milk is to be cooled it should be
lowered into the water, otherwise the
milk will not cool rapidly enough and
may cause trouble from souring.
