Dairy Dots.

TexaS FARMER.
Good milk cows are seldom in good
flesh. They are not flesh makers,
but milk machines, or should be.
Kindness in the dairy not only in
dictates a kind heart, but the self
control of good common sense.
Plants for making condensed milk
are becoming more common Several
have recently been established in
Vermont.
A good dairyman, whether in Iowa,
Missouri, Indiana or Texas, is usually
a prosperous man and his farm is a
paying proposition.
Cream of the proper acid or ripe
condition churns more easily than
sweet cream, because the acid rem
ders it less compact.
A good COW is a profitable invest
ment, aside from the increase, which
should represent the profit. This can
be said also of the hen, the mare and
the eve.
Carefully kept statistics kept by
dairy associations in the southwest
part of Scotland during the winter of
1907 shows the cost of producing a
gallon of milk, ten pounds. is about
S.72 cents.
The principal dairy breeds are the
Jerseys, Holsteins, Guernsey, Ayr
shire and Brown Swiss. All Of which
have their good qualities and their
admirers.
A great many keep cows for profit
who would do better if they would
adopt dairy principles; otherwise
their theoretical methods will prove
a disappointment
Rich cream is more easily churned
because the particles of fat are more
numerous or closer together, which
renders them more easily brought to-
gether as butter. Good cream Is
from 80 to 40 per cent fat.

Just So Long Only.

The big packers are not paying
present high prices for fat cattle just
because they want to or because Of a
desire to befriend the grower. There
must be a reason for present prices
and one which the packers can not
circumvent. The fact is that there is
a shortage of cattle suitable for
slaughtering purposes and this, and
this alone, is responsible for present
values. Prices will keep up just as
long as supply is short of demand

a Story From India,

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose OF an old elephant and took 1t tc
a fair. AS soon as he had arrived lie
noticed man who, without saying a
word, began to walk round the animal,
examining 1t attentively on all sides.
The merchant became very anxious,
for he feared the man had found out
that his elephant was not worth much
He took him aside and whispered In
his ear: II see customer coming.
Do not say a word until 1 have sold
the beast, and L will give you so
rupees" The man looked at the mer-
chant and wOnderingly complied with
his request. 1t happened that the
customer had more money than sense,
80 he was easily taken In. When the
bargain was completed and the ele-
plant led away by its new owner, the
merchant handed the 30 rupees to
the silent man, saying: "Now / want
you to tell me how you discovered the
defect in his left leg. thought l had
concealed It SO sklllfully." 81 have dis
covered nothing" replied the stranger.
ut Is the first elephant l have ever
seen, and | wanted to know which
was the head and which was the tail"

What Mlaht Have Bean.

Lord Rosebery In an address at Glas
gov university some years ago gave ut
terance to the following interesting
speculation:
Had The elder Pitt when he became
prime minister not left the house of
commons he could doubtless have IN
duced George Ill to listen to reason,
introduced American representation
into parliament and preserved the thir-
teen colonies to England. The new
blood of America would have burst the
old vessels Of the constitution and pro-
vided a self adjusting system of repre-.
Sentation. There would have been no
war of separation, no war OF 1912, and
finally, when the Americans became a
majority, the empire would perhaps
have moved solemnly across the At
lantlc and Britain become q historic
shrine, the European outpost of the
empire"
