NEW STEEL TRESTLE
SPANS LITTLE RIVER
Bridge BuiIdcd by Column
bia, NcWbcrry & LaurcnS Rail-
road About Completed.

With but a few days additional
work, the magnificent steel bridge
over Little river. now in process of
construction by the Columbia, New
berry and Laurens railroad will be
completed. The work began Monday
morning of last week continuing
throughout the week, causing but
slight delay in the schedule of the
trains, SO we'll was thework timed
The new trestle spans Little river
just few yards south of the passen-
ger station on the Columbia road.
When completed. this bridge will be
one of the most magnificent Structur-
cs in this section OF the State. Its
cost will approximate $l75OO; the
steel works being about $4,000 The
work is being done by the Virginia
Bridge 4 Iron Works Of Roanoke. Va
This particular bridge however was
made in Burlington y. c.. one of
the sub-shopS OF the Virginia comp
any. The plan OF the work was
mapped out by Capt. Chas. S. Dwight
of Columbia, the civil engineer of
Columbia, Newbcrry and Laurens
road 1t was purposed to build this
bridge several months ago, but de-
lays of varied nature have postponed
it until the present Capt. Dwight
was in Laurens last August and pre-
pared to build the foundations. In
fact, three of the pillars were built
when the flood came and delayed the
work. The foundation pillars, made
OF concrete, rest on solid rock foun-
dations; one of these foundations is
fourteen feet below the level of the
stream, another, thirteen, and the
shalloweSt is eleven feet.
The bridge is of modern construct
ion, thirty-seven feet high, above the
water, and two hundred and seventy
feet long, consisting of seven spans,
one sixty feet and the others thirty
and forty. When the longest span
swung into place by the powerful der
ricks. vast crowd of wonderstruck
people watched the operation. In fact.
almost the entire time that work is go
ing on there is a large crowd OF inter
ested spectators.
Superintendent Garner of the Viz
ginia company is here in charge of
the work.

A GOOD RECORD.

The Lynden Tribune says: Lyn-
denis creamery leads all creameries
of the state in point of production and
profits made, and if plans go not
wrong the next state creamery
mems convention will be held in Lyn-
den. The Lynden creamery, is CO.
operative concern owned by the far
mers in the rich valley surrounding
the Gem City and is an example of
what cooperation will do when COM
petent men are at the head of it.
In five years time it has trebled its
first years business and put itself in
the lead of all Washington creameries.
The growth is shown by the books to
have been steady each year-a growth
that cannot be called squirt. The
first years business amounted to
about $4,000, the second to $1,000,
the third to $4,000, the fourth to
$4,000, and the fifth, the year just
finished, to $73,969.27. 1t is this show
ing which the managers think should
entitle Lynden to have the next con-
vention.
The annual report which was made
at the annual meeting shows:
Pounds of cream received. .883.375
Average test, per cent. ...... 24B

FEEDING MICH COWS.
BY Dr. David Roberts, Wisconsin State
Veterinarian.

Mich COWS require different feed
than beef cattle. You should not feed
much fat forming foods, as your COWS
would lay on fat instead of producing
milk. Feed more silage or roots in
the winter.
Daily feed for thousand-pound
COW: 40 pounds of silage, 7 pounds
clover hay, 8 pounds of grain. The
COWS that are soon to freshen should
be fed on succulent feed, such as
silage or roots, bran, linseed meal
with little oats. Keep the bowels
open and do not feed very heavy on
grain just before or after calving.
After calving, give bran mashes and
warm the drinking water for a few
days. Allow the calf to suck for about
two days and then feed the mothers
milk from a pail for about two weeks,
about three quarts twice day; after
that reduce it with skim milk or warm
water, so that at the end of the fourth
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1909-02-01

week the calf will be getting all skim
milk or half whole milk and half
warm water, with some reliable stock
tonic to aid digestion. Keep a supply
of good clover or alfalfa hay within
reach and also some ground oats, with
a little linseed meal mixed with it.
After the calf eats the ground feed,
gradually get him used to eating whole
oats, as this is the best feed for him
up to six months old.
The heifers should not be bred until
fifteen or eighteen months old.

Dairying is the fine art in agricul-
ture. The worlds market is contin
ually calling for better goods. We note
some things which ought not to be:
First, COWS should not be allowed &C.
cess to stagnant water. Good water IS
essential in the making of good milk.
Second, keep the udder clean by wash
ing if necessary. Dirty milk is in
jured milk and makes injured butter.
Third, expose the milk as little as pos
sible in the stable. Tainted milk is
almost as bad as dirty milk. Fourth,
use brushes rather than cloths in
cleaning dairy utensils. In short,
cleanliness is almost the essential
thing in successful dairying. When
we add to this, kind treatment and in
telligent feeding of the dairy cows, we
can say that we have given the sum
total of good dairy work.

LAfOLLETTE HAS
RIGHT TO SAY IT
And According to That Right
He Said 1t on the Sen

SEN. PENROSE WAS HUFFY
DIDN'T THINK WELL OF WlSCON-
SIN SENATOR'S DECLARATIONS
AND THE PAIR ENGAGED IN A
LIVELY DEBATE.

Washington. Feb. Ex-senator La
Toilette of Wisconsin served notice on
the United States senate today that he
knew he right to talk on the senate
floor and that he would falkland he
did talk right out in meeting.
Senator LaFollette got a rise out of
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylva-
MIA. who talked back to the senator
from Wisconsin with anger in his
voice and fire in his eye. The Pennsyl-
vanian has had reputation during his
twelve years as man of silence.
Among the things that kindled the ire
and loosened the usually quiet tongue
Of the Pennsylvania statesman were
charges by his Wisconsin colleague.
That the senate purposely delayed
appropriation bills for sinister pur-
pose.
That Penrose had neglected his du-
ties as senator by frequent absence,
and
That the salary increases had been
railroaded through.
Tries to Delay Postoffice Bill.
The undignified exchange of dis
courtesies before the dignified senate
occurred because LaFollette tried to
postpone the passage of the postoffice
bill until tomorrow. His words. though
acrid. were not weighty enough. how
ever. to block its passage and the bill
was passed carrying with it $232OOO,- ;
600.
Mr.. Penrose as chairman of the COM
mittee on postoffices and post roads
had charge of the bill 1t was his pet
He had his heart set upon it being
written into the law of the land before
the sitting could adjourn.
All things tended to pleasant time
and a quick vote. when all of a sudden
a small man from the west arose and
asked quietly that the postoffice bill
be allowed to go over until tomorrow
as it had just been reported from the
committee. and he had had no time in
which to examine it. The voice was
from Wisconsin. 1t had been in the
United States only two years, but il
sounded like heresy.
