A GALLOWAY COW.

progressive he is not long in detecting
their value, and the most successful
breeders of pure bred cattle attain
their position only through years of
patient endeavor, beginning with one
pure bred sire which possibly cost him
500 and looked very much more I'M
reasonable than did $500 or $400 a few
years later.
Fright here l wish to make mention
as to prices. l have received letters
from a few breeders who say that
they have to sell their bulls for $40 to
$50 per head. A farmer can we'll afford
to pay more money than that for a
bull and should be made to do so. Any
farmer can well afford to pay $3.50 for
a good bull to use on a herd of COM
mon COWS and then make a large profit
by the investment. But the great
mass of farmers are still unconvinced.
''There is not q farmer in this whole
country that would even hesitate at
$3.50 for a good work horse simply for
the work there is in him. Teams are
selling from $500 to $500. Is it not a
strange judgment of values that will
hesitate at paying that price for an
animal that will put many times $3.50
more selling value into his herd for
years to Gomez"

Mr.. Taft announced at the time that

has become very much attached to the
animal he has ridden for SO long.

In reply to the questions, DO Tam
worth hogs ever vary in color from a
red? Do they ever have any spots on
them?" the secretary Of the American
TamWOrth association says:
From the best information that
can obtain Tamworths in England
some years ago almost invariably had
a black spot or spots upon them. The
standard of excellence adopted by the
Animal Pig Breeders Association of
Great Britain now gives black spots
as an objection, but no indication of
impurity Of blood. The American
Tamworth association also adopts the
same ruling. Black spots are an OBJ
lection, but no indication of impurity
of blood or no bar to registration. 1t
is considered that the ANIMAL of solid
red is a better looking animal and
more to be desired from a fancy stand
point than one with spots. Some Of
the very best Tamworths of late years
have had small black spots upon them,
but they are fast being bred off, and
great many do not wish any tenden-
cy to anything but solid color in red.

In order to have the perfect motion
Of the bowl the machine must be set
level and be kept clean and well oiled.
The oil should be thin, or light, so that
it will not gum the wearing parts. A
heavy oil will make the machine run
hard and will gum quickly on small
high speed bearings. All the bearings
of the machine should be frequently
flushed with coal oil. 1t is well to make
a run about once in two or three
weeks, using coal oil on all the bear
ings. This keeps the parts free from
gum and washes out grit or sand that
may have blown into them.
1t is an excellent plan to have cover
of closely woven cloth or oilcloth that
can be kept over the machine while it
is not in operation. This will keep out
dust and sand and will add materially
to the lasting powers of the machine
Tie separator should be set up on a
good solid floor, SO that it will not
move or sway as the operator turns the
crank

Kindness is the only profitable policy
to pursue with live stock. The man
with a loud or harsh voice ard in
trepid temper seldom ever gets along
with any kind of live stock. The sue

cattle quietly, speaking gently. Kind
ness and gentleness are the requisites
for the best care of all live stock.

power. There VIII
be no change in the political complex
ion of the majority in either branch of
congress or Of the executive branch of
the government. Nevertheless there
will be change in the head of the
government, and, while President Elect
Taft has promised to carry forward the
Roosevelt policies" he will naturally
have his own way of doing things
and his own preferences in the mat
ter of legislation to be furthered.
There is interest among the nations
legislators as to the course things will
take after the 18th of March next.
Of most immediate concern, however.
to the members of the SiXtieth con-
gress are the legislative matters left
over from the last session and those
which will claim foremost attention
in consequence Of the recommends
lions Of President Roosevelt in his an
nual message or in special messages to
congress to be expected later in the
session. Mr.. Roosevelt is anxious that
before he surrenders the reins of gov
eminent to his successor laws should
be on the statute books embodying.
in addition to the acts that already
have been passed, in execution of the
administration policies, such further
enactmentS as may serve to complete
the record Some of these subjects,
such as those bearing on labor inter
ests and that respecting amendment
Of the Sherman law to permit railroad
pools under government supervision.
are expected to occasion debate.
When congress assembled after the
national election of 1904 Mr.. Roosevelt
had been chosen as the occupant of
the White House for the ensuing four
years, and no special changes in af-
fairs at Washington were anticipated
Eight years ago Mr. Mckinley had
just been chosen to succeed himself
Twelve years ago Mr.. Cleveland,
Democrat, turned the executive power
over to a Republican successor, as he.
four years previously, had received the
same authority from a Republican pred
ecessor, Benjamin Harrison. Again,
going back another four years, one
finds Mr.. Harrison taking the reins
from political opponent, Mr.. Cleve-
land. There was also a change of par
ties when Mr.. Cleveland succeeded
President Chester A. Arthur. One has
to go back to the Inauguration of Gar
field, twenty-eight years ago, to find
Republican, President Rutherford B.
Hayes, retiring from the presidency
and handing the reins over to q sue
cessor of the same political faith.
The fact that tariff revision is to be
a leading issue in the next congress,
even though no enactments on the sub
ject are to be attempted this session.
makes it inevitable that there should
be considerable discussion of the mat
ter now. Then, too, the hearings be-
fore the house ways and means COM
mittee, of which Congressman Serene

keep the question in mind. Mr.. Payne

Up and down

To beat the game

Girls and boys
After fancy
Goods and toys
For their dear ones
And, I swear,
Some for whom
They do not care

comes into the game even at it's pres
