addition to that needed for the re-
quirements of the body to keep up the

The modern dairy COW must be
kept warmer; she has no blanket of
fat like the beef type and suffers when
let out into the cold. She must have
pure air, else she will not be physi-
cally equal to her work. Cattle are
exposed too much. The Holsteins are
a superior breed in point of constitu-
ton, yet in Holland, their native
country, they are put up in the fall
and remain indoors until spring
without exercise. He believes that
turning cattle out from warm barn
In winter will breed tuberculosis
Cows should be MIXED regularly, and
anything that shocks the nervous sys-
tenn should be avoided.
Finally we must breed better cattle.
With the best heifers as a basis the
improved qualities desired for the
herd can be grated on it by a pure
bred sire that will transmit to his Off
spring not only his own qualities, but
those of his ancestry. The usefulness
of the cow is limited to four or five
years, and cents per pound should be
deducted from the price received for
her butter for this depreciation in her
value.
Mr.. A. e. Smith, of Kent, Wash, was
recent caller at The Ranch office.
Mr.. Smith is one Of the prominent
dairymen of the White River valley,
having herd of about 100 cows whose
milk is used in supplying Seattle Gus
toners. Mr.. Smith says the dairymen
are in state of uncertainty as to the
effect of the inspection of dairies now
in progress by the city and state Of
ficials, but it is his intention to work
into the sale exclusively of certified
milk, believing it to be the best for all
parties concerned. He has developed
some original plans for housing and
handling his stock, concerning which
we may give an account later

Pepper In Oiden Times.

During the middle ages in Europe
pepper was the most esteemed and i'm
portant of all the spices. Genoa, Ven
ice and other commercial cities of cen
trail Europe were indebted to their
traffic in pepper for a large part Of
their wealth. Its Importance as a
means Of promoting commercial activ-
ity and civilization during the middle
ages can hardly be overrated. Tribute
was levied In pepper. and donations
were made in this spice, which was
frequently also used as a medium Of
exchange in place Of money. When
the imperial city of Rome was be-
sieged by Alaric. the king of the Goths,
in 40S A. D.. the ransom demanded in
cluded 5000 pounds OF gold, 10000
pounds of silver and 5000 pounds Of
pepper, illustrating the importance of
this spice at that time
