The Man and the Cow.

Dairy COWS require better shelter
than beef animals.
Cow stables should have no cellar
under them nor storage place above.
Stables used exclusively for dairy
COWS, should be disinfected frequently,
by the use of whitewash.
1t will take a month, perhaps more,
for a COW to regain her normal milk
flow, If you permit her to be exposed
to the cold rains of early spring.
\ decrease of from 10 to SO per
cent. in milk yield, follows exposure
at this season, or any other, for that
matter.
The average dairy COW is at her best
between the ages of seven and ten
years. There is a gradual increase in
the milk yield up to about seven
years of age, and a slow, gradual de-
cline after the ninth or tenth until the
twelfth year. After their period Of
profitable milk production has passed,
dairy cows should be kept dry and
fattened for beef.
There should be no unnecessary
changes in the attendants who feed
and milk the COWS.
The high-bred dairy COW is Of a
nervous temperament, and undue ex-
citement has tendency to lower the
milk yield.
Regular hours for feeding, milking
and grooming, affect the flow of milk
favorably.
A kicking COW is not as bad as q
kicking man in the dairy herd.
If you have running water in the
dairy barn, you can fix up good
wash-room with sink, towels, and all
other appliances for cleanliness, for
fve-dollar bill. Why not?
No two cows can be fed alike. Each
must be studied separately.
Increase the protein in the ration
and watch the milk flow.

Good Starter for Sour Cream.

churn is filled too full, or cream is too
warm, or too cold, or too little butter

cream. never have my churn over
half full. When 1t foams l take out
part Of the cream and raise the tenn.

Study Mysteries Of the Air.

Man has been born of woman for
centuries upon centuries, yet he is as
little wise to the control of weather
conditions as he is to the truth Of
what comes after death. Must 1t be
ever SO? Is prophecy, even as 1t may
some time be perfected, to remain the
ineffective substitute for the power to
regulate?
The air throbs with wonders. 1t af-
fords the medium of wireless teleg-
raphy, perhaps of telepathy. The mys-
terry of how it absorbs and restrains or
lets loose the elements that make FOR
storm or sunshine is infinitely better
worth attention than are the short
comings Of a forecaster. Let some
earnest seeker find key to the riddle
and see how the farmers and sailors
and baseball players and Easter bellies
and all the sons and daughters of time
sit up and take notice.

we'll braced to prevent sagging, and
the walls getting out of plumb. It
would be cheaper to use the cement
blocks. One foot is thick enough for
the walls if reinforced with wire. A
wire should be run spirally a foot
apart around silo. Where doors are
to be, fasten wire to irons set in door
frame, with head, set in the side Of
door space. Use one part cement to
1-2 sand and 1-2 broken stone. Mix
thoroughly before wetting. If you are
unfamiliar with the use of cement, it
will be unwise to attempt such a
structure without the help of a skilled
mason.

The Advertiser Of May %, and othsr

calls "a Anal settlement Of all these
questions" do not diffsr from the over
lures made by him to the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company and
other iitisating roads prior to the cons
yening OF the extra session Of the Leg
isiature In November. 1907. At that
time, he sought to induce these rail.
roads to withdraw their suits upon the
promise that he ana the commission
would treat them fairly and would al.
low them liberal advance over the
statutory rates. The managers OF the
railroads alluded to, wisely declined to
make any so-called settlement with
Governor Conner. for the reason as they
claim that he had no authority what
ever to make a binding and final set
tlemsnt. The railroad companies
wanted q legal adjudication OF their
rights. so that there might not be any
misunderstanding hereafter. They
wanted permanent peace; they were
unwilling to tenporize. The only way
in which final settlement can be had
Is to let the matter go through the
courts TO the end. when this is done.
the railroad companies will then hav.
positive information as to whether. un-
der the law, thew are entitled to earn

err It Is possible for State Legisia-

1t is rather late for Governor Conner
to say '1et us have peace" There can
be no peace Of mind on the part of
the managers and owners of railroads.

terests of the State until there has

WHERE THEY DO NOT GO.

What becomes OF all the pins? is a
question that has been asked many
times, but no DEFINITE answer can be
made. II we look a little into the
statistics OF pin manufacture We find
that millions and billions Of them are
made every year. yet there is always
demand for them, because they are
always disappearing. =
But It seems that II we cannot tell
where the pins go we can to some ex-
| tent tell where they do not go. and
China seems to be one OF the places.
According to a report of our Consul
at Shanghai. as we find It stated In u
contemporary. "the market for pins in
his district Is extremely limited--be-
ing confined to foreigners, of whom
there are less than twenty thousand in
Shanghai. The Chinese. 1t appears. do
not pin their faith to pins. and. irefact.
have no use for them. Strings and
ment of male and female. young and
old. to keep his or her garments Sc
cursly and neatly fastened. Hooks and
eyes, says Mr.. DENLY, are in the same
category with pins. so far AZ the Chi
nese are concerned; button and loop.
frog or string being utilized by them
for the purposes which make hooks
and eyes necessary to foreigners. AL
though the wellto-do native frequent
ly~edorns his er her outer Jacket with
snowy buttons of metal or glass. these
are purely for ornamental purposes,
and pins. safety or other variety, find
no place among the requisites Of the
housewives sewing basket or toilet
outfit"
So II seems that we may absolve the
Acknowledged Inhabitants Of the Orient
from the charge OF pin wasting. No
! doubt the female residents of our own
land will fail to understand how 1t Is
possible for woman to exist without
an unlimited supply Of what she calls
one of the essentials of female dress.
but her sisters OF the East are not de-
pendent on what our women could
hardly exist without. and according to
Mr.. DENLY they have no difficulty about
finding a way to do without pins
1t is wonderful how plentiful sup
ply of any article destroys appreciation
OF its value. There are yet OLD reo-
pie among us who can remember when
pins were not at all common ar
ticle, We are not speaking OF the war
period when almost everything was
scarce, for pins then were among the
luxuriss. and many q sharp thorn was
made to do duty in their place, as eoun-
try women Of the SOS can easily re-
member. But leaving out that period
there are many who can go back years
earlier ana remember when pins were
preserved with almost as much carr
as a nice hat-pin now is. Even then
our people did not have the Chinese
faculty of doing without them-and
We suppose they would now find It
very dlficult to adapt themselves to
the lack Of them.

1MPoRr1Ne PoTATons.

Tho Wall Street Journal prints some
figures showing the imports of food
stuffs into this country during the ten
months Just past. 1t shows total
amounting to two hundred and fifteen
million dollars. The significant feature
Of the statement is the fact that of
these IMPORTS Of food from abroad
there was four and one-half million
bushels of potatoes. upon which the
consumers Of this country paid an inn
port duty Of about sixty-two' per cent.
nm the average value of the potatoes
brought in. These facts and figures
lead The Buffalo Times to saw:
II the American farmer is really un-
able to grow enough potatoes for lhome
consumption, and In view of the heavy
Importation, we have no alternative
but to believe he is, 1t GOES without
saying that such a condition calls FOR
the abolition of import duty on that
TODD product of universal necessity.
But the fact that such inn orts are
neeful to keep the country supplied
with potatoes. leads one irresistibly to
the conclusion that there is something
We think, with The Times. that
"there is something wrong with Am
erican agriculture" when potatoes are
Imported at the rate OF more than FIVE
million bushels a year. We are not in
formed as to where the potatoes ocme
from, but that is not so material as is
the fact that they came from other
countries That is the important fea-
ture Of the affair.
II must be understood that Irish po-
tatoes are meant when the word ''po-
tatoes' is used, and all of us know
that this is a vegetable that can be
raised in almost limitless quantities in
this country. and in almost every Sec
tlon OF #, and we know that they
can be kept over from one season to
another if necessary. In view OF these
two facts it would seem that all the
