no more adapted than dairy cattle are

Now some might think it takes We
ry much more work to care for cows.

more than when you don't feed, but
everything ought to be as regular as
possible Keep them in the barn out

whether to turn them out or leave
them in the stable, leave them in
every time Twice a day is often
enough to feed and a good deal bet
ter than to feed three times some
days and only two times other days.
Water twice a day except in very
cold weather, when once is enough.
Have the water about as warm as it
comes from the well. Keep salt before
them all the time, or give at least
once every other day. Milk them
clean; don't run off without stripping.
What you leave won't be there next
time. 1t is against nature When the
calf gets too much the COW will dry
up, while if he don't get enough he
will milk cleaner and he will get more

COW gets when the calf runs with

about twenty-five or thirty dollars
worth AS to the amount of land re-
Quired to raise this grain, the sue
cotash was grown on eight acres, the
barley on less than two acres. Seven
y or eight acres added to this would
grow about as much feed as the feed
J. bought.
I understand that it is generally
supposed that it does not pay to feed
cows at the present high price of
grain. | claim that there is no other
animal on the farm that will pay for
feed as we'll as the COW, if she is
fed right. Feeding too much is not
only a waste but damage The
right amount is one pound of feed for
every three pounds of milk. In feed
ing one hundred pounds of feed you
= get three hundred pounds of milk Say
that it tests per cent, the average
test, / believe, that would make 12
pounds of butter fat 100 pounds of
feed is worth S1.20, or 10 cents for
each pound of butter fat. With but
a ter fat selling at 80 to 80 cents in
winter, there is surely some left for
hay and even for work, which is not
thot to be worth anything when car
ing for other stock. Another thing not
to lose sight of is that when you feed
a cow so as to bring her flow up to
capacity you also develop her capacity.
While many think it pays best to
milk in summer when they don't have
doesn't cost any more than the diff
y ference in the price of butter fat in
summer and winter. | believe that a
man can take the same amount of
land it takes in the summer to pas
ture cow and raise enough rough
age and grain for feed thru the win
ter. It therefore seems to me that if
it pays in the summer it must pay
better in the winter. If the cows come
fresh in the fall or early winter, as
they ought to, they will then milk all
the spring they will gain and give al
} most as much thru the summer as if
they came fresh in the spring. OF
course a cow has to get the same in
gradients in the feed as the milk con-
tains, hence the Importance of a
sbalanced ration. Many seem TO think
that any kind of feed will do, so long
as it is grain, and a COW will give a
good mess of milk for some time, but
after say two or three months, then
she will begin to give less and fatten
sap. 1t will have to be remembered tha
in order to get 300 pounds of butter
fat in year from one COW, she has
got to give pound for nearly every
day in the year, or three gallons of
4 per cent milk thing that is not
impossible for anyone with. fairly good

Finally, | wish to thank Mr.. Mil
Ter for the very substantial prizes
which l have received during the
year; also those who contributed to
those prizes. hope they have aroused
some interest, for there is no other
industry that deserves the support of
the farmers as much as the cream
cry, and with the very able manage
ment it ought to be a decided sue
cess, but it depends now entirely up
on the farmers. Stevens county is

CENSUS DIRECTOR
FILES RESIGNATION
S. N. D. North Forced From Of

Commerce and Labor
E. Dana Durand of California TO
Succeed to Position Made
Vacant by Controversy

WASHINGTON, May 26.-S. n. D.
North. director of the census, has
rendered his resignation, and it was
accepted today E. Dana Durand. dep
uty commissioner of corporations. has
been nominated to succeed North.
North's resignation is direct result of
his recent controversy with Secretary
Nagel.
The following statement in connec-
ton with the case was given out at
the White House:
Director North rendered his resig-
nation as director of the census. 1t was
accepted, and the name of E. Dana
Durand, now deputy commissioner of
corporations, has been sent to the SEN
ate to succeed him. Mr.. North's resig-
nation was based on the ground that
on account of conditions existing, and
likely to continue, his administration
of the census office would not probably
be successful"
DURAND FROM CALIFORNIA.
Durand is from California. He has
been in the bureau of corporations for
some time, and it is believed he will
work in harmony with Secretary Nagel.
the last few days that the controversy
between Secretary Nagel and Director
North had been amicably adjusted. The
friction between the two continued
however, and at last Secretary Nagel
put the matter squarely up TO Presi-
dent Taft, saying that either he or
North would have to Ieave the service.
as existing conditions between them
were intolerable. Director North held
to the belief that the census bureau
was an independent institution and that
he was responsible only to the presi-
dent.
FRICTION CONTINUES
A congressional enactment put the
census bureau under the department
of commerce and labor, however. and
Secretary Nagel felt that in spite of
the great powers conferred by congress
upon the director. that official should
be subordinate to the cabinet officer
in charge of the department. 1t was
because of this friction that Director
North was finally forced to step out
In connection with the retirement of
North it was announced that he has
been sustained as to the necessity for
the government removing itself from
control of the so called tabulating
machine trust" Secretary Nagel has
directed that bids be advertised for at

Mrs. j. w. Timmons Violates
Coastwise Shipping Law

HONOLULU, May 2s.-Mrs. ]. w. Tim
mons. daughter of former Vice Presi-
dent and Mrs Fairbanks, at the last
moment decided not to go on to Japan
with her parents, but to return to the
mainland. She is now awaiting the ar
rival of the Siberia for San Francisco,
or the Makura for Vancouver and Vic
toria but uncertain whether she will
be able to get accommodations on either
of them because they are both filled
with passengers almost to their ca
pacity.
Her decision to return home without
going on to Japan has put her in di-
iemma in regard to the coastwise navi-
cation laws.
She came here on the Chiyo Maru, a
foreign vessel, and was given stopoyer
privileges. But instead of continuing
her voyage she is now returning. thus
bringing herself within the coastwise
laws that forbid foreign vessels carry
ing passengers between two American
ports. ahd rendering herself liable TO
pay fine of 5000.

automobile trip about the city. He
said it was his fifth visit to Chicago,
and the first time he had really seen
anything Of the city.

the French government in honor of the
wonderful work done by the citizens
there in rebuilding their city after the
great disaster that overlook them.
HE SUGGESTED MEDAL
The making Of this medal came
about in a strange way. Just after
the news of the complete wreck
caused by the earthquake and fire be-
came generally known. the United
States government presented to the
French nation through myself a gold
medal of Franklin, in cOmmemoration
OF his work as ambassador TO France
from this nation and his success in
cementing ties Of national friendship
for all time.

DEMOCRATS PLEA
IS FOR PROTECTION
Senator McEnery of Louisiana
Argues Against Reduction of
Duty on Sugar

WASHINGTON. May 26.-Promptly
resuming the thread of his discussion
of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill,
Senator McEnery of Louisiana in the
senate today dealt with the attitude of
the southern states and southern
lection. He said:
SOUTH FOR PROTECTION
That there is change of sentiment
going on in the south in relation to
protection was shown recently, and 1
hope senators from the south who sup
ported protection on every industry in
the state may extend the vision of their
horizon and accord protection to great
national interests
After pointing out that southern SEN
ators had voted for duty on lumber
which produces a revenue of only
$2,000,000 annually, McEnery called at
tention to the vastly greater income
produced by sugar, which yields a
revenue of $60,000 000. Il want to ap-
peal to southern senator's" he declared
in ringing tones, ito abandon their
absurd ideas and theories of the tariff
for revenue only and vote to support
the industries of the United States"
BRISTOW ADVOCATES REDUCTION
Bristow followed While McEnery, a
democrat, had spoken for a high and
protective rate on sugar, the Kansas
senator, republican, advocated a re-
duction, introducing an amendment to
strike out the provision for NO IS
Dutch standard" and reducing the duty
on refined sugar from 1.91 cents to
l.S2z cents pound.
Illustrating his remarks by exhibit
ing bottles of sugar, Senator Bristow
explained that according to his view
the removal of the Dutch standard test
would allow dark colored sugar. to come
into this country and at once go to con-
sumers if they should desire to have ii
without the refining and whitening pro-
cess.
TRIBUTE EXACTED BY TRUST
The only purpose of this color test
he said, sis to force the people to pay
to the American sugar refining COM
pany 80 cents per 100 pounds for refin-
ing that sugar"
Senator Clay introduced an amend
ment to the schedule striking out the
Dutch standard for grading sugar and
fixing a rate of so cents per 100 pounds
on sugar, cane juice and concrete mo-
lasses, testing by the polariscope above
rs degrees and for every additional de-
gree > cents per 100 additional; refined
sugar, 81 per 100 pounds; molasses. not
