together. There are 54 protested law

than 235 more in the house-just II
less than an even 800 all together
In this category reads the names
one has heard before-Senators Tel
Ter and Bacon, Hepburn. Borah, Hop

Nelson. Depew, La Toilette. Foraker

The two senators from South Caro-

There are 10 farmers in the house,

and as many lumbermen. There are
also seven editors. There are five

will be more nearly correct. 1t is the
honest truth that many of the men
listed in the senate by these writer's
as worth all the way from $l,O0000O
to $6O,OO0.OOO each would be willing
to take ten per cent. of these esti-
mates in cash to-day"
Another senator. probably as rich
as Mr.. Elllins, but who would not al
low his name to be used, declares that
fully one-fourth of the 80 senators
have little else than their salaries of
$500 year. Another fourth of the
80 have somewhere between $4,000
and $4,000. The personal fortunes
of another quarter of the senate range
between $4,000 or 100000 and $780,
900. Most of this class of twenty-odd,
the senator thought, were worth be-
tween 100000 and 100000. The other
quarter comprised senators all worth
100000. and probably 10 or ~ only
entitled to be called millionaires, not
multi-millionaires, but simply worth
from 81 100000 to $1O,O0O,OO9.

FARM DAIRY MACHINERY.
Its Introduction on the Farm Has
Lessened the Work.

One of the most important things to
consider in the Improvement of the
farm dairy is the machinery that is to
be sued Before the creamery came
to tighten the burdens of the farm
er's wife, most of the work connected
with the farm dairy was done with
out the help of machinery. On many
farms to-day where farm butter is still
being made no dairy machinery is
used except the churn. But in the
improved dairy every possible form
of dairy machinery must be used. II 1t
is not. there will be no uniformity OF
the farm dairy products The hand
separator must be the first piece of
machinery purchased. Then must
come the milk testing machine and
the scales to weigh the milk. In ad-
dition must come the butter worker
and the various appliances that go
with it. Cream ripeners also must be-
come common, and all the arrange
ments for managing starters. To Sc
cure these things and learn how to
use them is one OF the most important
steps In improving the product that
goes forth to the world under the
name of farm butter.

COWS FOR THE DAIRY.
Select the Breed Which Will Produce
Kind of Milk You Want.

Before the dairyman can be sucS. S.
full in either branch he must draw the
line between the breeds that excel in
the yield of milk and those that give
milk rich in cream. The first thing
the scientific dairyman does is to Sc
lect the breed for the purpose he may
have in view. The next will be to
feed in such manner as to secure
fhe largest yield of either milk or but
e ter in proportion to the cost of food
and the cost of food depends upon the
adaptability for conversion into the
ingredients entering into the compo-
sition of milk
1t is well established fact among
those who combine breeding with
dairying that after COW has raised
two or three calves her value as a
breeder may be pretty accurately de-
termined and she has also arrived at
the age of best service in the dairy
and as a calf producer The heifer
is not the best mother, usually, but i'm
proves In maternal qualities as she APP
proaches maturity. 1t is therefore very
uncertain in results to turn the heifer
WI DSNduoC DIG uOeS lOL WIFI neT ITS
calf equal the old COW in her produce.
1t is also bad management to turn
the old COW off because she is old,
when she has proven a valuable dairy
! animal and breeder of excellent calves.
Many an old COW has produced a calf
that would sell for three or four
times what the old COW would sell for.
The Old COW. says Agricultural
Epitomist, is often worth more to
retain as producer of both calves and
milk than to exchange for the uncer.
tainties Of young animal. There is
no rule by which the age of COW
will determine the end of her period
of usefulness. Some cows remain
strong and vigorous up to Is years old,
while others indicate age and decline
at ten. Judge closely and accurate
iy on the value OF the old reliable
COW. remembering that good COWS are
scarce and that 1t is much easier to
get rid of good COW than to eitker
buy or breed one.
The new era. (Walden, Colo.) 1906-19??, 1908-03-26
FEEDING COWS PRoFl1AHLv.
Tho Right Amount Must Be Fed to
the Right Animal.

A matter of prime Importance is to
make as much as possible out of the
feed given cows. Some cows will
make three times as much out of the
same feed as other cows will make.
In this the COW is machine to take
the food given her and either utilize
or waste 1t.
A pound of feed must be made to
go as far as it Is possible for it to go.
1t is not too much to say that at
least one-fourth of our dairy cows are
feed that Is given them.
There is no excuse for keeping a
poor COW. The preachers Of better
things are to be found in every local
ity endeavoring to impress upon own
ers the absurdity of keeping COWS so
poor that they will take dollars
worth of product out of 1t. In this
is illustrated the fact that in few
years feed of some kinds has doubled
in cost. There was time when
the same amount of feed that costs
a dollar now cost only SO cents, and
it was problem Of giving it to this
same cow and having her return 30
cents worth of product for 1t. The
transaction showed a profit in those
days; it shows loss now.
The higher the price of feed. the
more necessary will 1t be to weed out
the poorest cow and buy or raise a
better one. The owner OF a poor COW
should not wait until he has good
COW to put in the place of the poor
one before disposing of her.
Why should he keep COW that
cannot pay him profit? asks
Farmers Voice. The sooner he
gets her beef value into his pocket
the better. The sum of money real
lied will, If placed in bank, at least
bring him some income and it will
not be consuming high-priced feed.
Search out the poor COW and get
rid Of her. We cannot utilize our
time more profitably than in making
frequent and thorough examinations
of our cows to find whether they are
changing the feed we give them into
high-priced product. 1t should be
remembered that cows differ greatly
in this respect, as some from the
same amount of feed will turn out
product containing two per cent. OF
butter fat, while others will turn out
four per cent. product. Therefore.
the poor cows are wasting half of the
feed given them in comparison with
the other COWS.
II feed is supplied to cows Of high

GILT EDGED BUTTER.
The First Requisite in Its Production
is Good Cows.

To make first-class, fine favored
butter you must have good cows.
They must be well fed, sheltered,
watered and kindly treated, II you
want them to pay you for their board.
No one, however skillful, ever made
up by care indoors what is lost by
carelessness or meanness outdoors.
You don't need fancy stables, but
they should be warm and comfort
able, light and clean. We have no
silo. writes correspondent of Orange
Judd Farmer. Our cows are fed corn
slower put through feed cutter run
by horse power There is considerable
corn in it. We also feed a peck of
grain day and water from well
in the yard. The cows are never left
out in extreme cold or storms only
long enough to drink twice day
We have a separator. You cannot
afford to be without a separator if
you want good butter in winter and
lots of it when the price is high.
After the milk is separated l let 1t
stand until it is cool-usually several
hours-then PTS it in the big cream

table right behind the kitchen range,
where l can frequently stir the cream
when thoroughly ripened l add one
very small teaspoonful Of butter color
to one pail of cream which is all we
usually churn. Scald the churn and
rinse the pail with quart Of water,
not too hot, and add to the cream.
This usually makes it about the right
temperature. If extremely cold l set
the pail of cream on the reservoir
for an hour or so. watching carefully
and stirring frequently to see it does
not get too hot. We rarely churn
