SOME GOOD DAIRY NOTES.

The milk must not be adulterated
in any way.
The hands of mixers must be
washed and thoroughly dried imme-
diately before milking
The hands and teats should be kept
dry during milking. Moistening the
hands with milk is condemned.
No person having any communi
cable disease, or one caring for per-
sons who have, shall be allowed to
handle the milk or milk utensils.
All milk must be cooled to a tenn
perature not above 50 degrees with.
in two hours after being drawn, and
kept to so degrees or less if not de.
livered at the creamery twice a day.
Each COW should be fed and cared
for by the same person every day;
he should study the individuality of
each animal, her likes and dislikes,
and give her all she wants and needs.

Exhaustinq Natural Resources.

Washington-A bulletin Just issued
by the geological survey gives some
startling information on the exhaustion
Of natural resources. The most serious
situation is that with regard to petro
leum.
Petroleum has been used for less
than fifty years, and it is estimated
that the supply will last only about
twenty-five or thirty years longer. II
production is curtaiied and waste
stopped, it may last till the end of the
century.
Animal and vegetable oils will NOT
begin to supply its place. One billion
cubic feet of natural gas are estimated
to be wasted into the air every twenty
four hours. The gas supply will last
about twenty-five years.
Coal has been extensively mined In
the United States for not much more
than half a century, but the consump-
tion is increasing so enormously that
if this increase should continue all the
easily accessible coal would be ex-
hausted by the year 2040, and all coal
by the middle of the twentyfirst cen
tury.
Water power will undoubtedly large
ly take its place. 1t is estimated that
within thirty years the best iron ores
will have been exhausted, and that il
will be necessary to resort to ores that
cannot now be worked at profit
This. of course means higher prices
unless new and much cheaper pro
cesses shall have been invented.
Gold, silver and zinc are all so abun.
dant that the supply is likely to last
for centuries to come. Copper is also
abundant, but is largely in low grade
ores which cannot now be profitably

cow BREAKS BUTTER RECORD
Seven Days Yield Exceeds That Of
Any Other Animal Tested
So Far

The milk of Grace Fayne seconds
Homestead, the Holstein COW which
recently died in New York, was tested
for butter by representative of
the Cornell university experiment
station. Ithaca. N. Y, during the lat
ter part of March. 1909. and by the
Babcock test showed yield in seven
days of 2S.44 pounds of butter fat. AS
such records are commonly stated by
the Herd-Book association this yield
OF butter fat is equivalent to 1855
pounds commercial butter at 80 per
cent. fat
This yield exceeds that of any other
COW tested under the present scientific
systems in use at experiment stations.
which are to-day the only true tests,
and is a wonderful example of the
capacity and development of cows of
this famous breed of dairy cattle. The
previous high record was held by a
Holstein cow bred by Mr.. Gillett of
Rosendale. Wis. and New York state

world, owned and developed in SYRIA

but the few should not change our

eral type.

Breed Straight and Do No Crossing.


Experiments in breeding looking to
the evolution of market types are not
to be encouraged among farmers.
Let farmers follow beaten paths in
this matter. Follow those which have
been tried and proved. One of the
most common mistakes made by breed
ers seeking to develop market types
is that of cross breeding. Some men
believe that If a PolandChina and Il
Berkshire are individually good pork
types a combination of the two would
make better type. Accordingly they
cross the two breeds. The result is
that while they make advantageous
gains in some respects inevitable sac
rifices are suffered which usually off
set the benefits derived. The best
plan is to breed straight and do the
crossing with feed.

man. In herds of Shorthorns, that
are noted for their milk-producing
powers, there will be found animals
that are of dairy conformation and
will produce no more beef than the
dairy-bred animal. Upon investiga-
tion, it will be found that it is yie
few animals, angular in form. thin in
flesh. with deep bodies, that have the
milk and fat records, while the ones
of beefy tendencies have never been
tested.
The Shorthorn COW, Lula, owned by
the Missouri experiment station, and
whose phenomenal yield of COS pounds
butter for year was reported in
June, as an exceptional type for
a large producer of milk and fat. Prof
Eckles informs us that the herd from
which she was purchased is kept

HOUSE DISCUSSES WORK AND
PAY OF FAMOUS GRAFT
PROSECUTOR.
NO GOVERNMENT WORK
BUT AMENDMENT CUTTING OFF
FURTHER ALLOWANCE is
VOTED DOWN.

Washington-That Francis J. He,
ney, special counsel of the Department
of Justice and also assistant prose
cutor in the so-called graft cases in
San Francisco, received from the gov
ernment last year $4,000 for which he
performed no service. was the frank
admission of Chairman Tawney of the
appropriations committee of the House
Monday.
"HoE much did Heney receive dur
ing he ear l90S?" demanded Mr..
MURPHY, L-.nocrat of Missouri, "and
what services ii he PERFORM"
He received $4,000 and performed
no service for the government what
ever duii-g that year" answered Mr.
Tawney.
Subsequently, Mr. Tawney said:
las a matter of fact, Mr.. Heney has
not performed any active service for
the last three years. He was ap-
pointed November 7, 1903, and his
active service continued for about
three years, and for which he received
in all 500, 900"
Mr.. Tawney stated, however, that
Mr.. Heneys salary had nothing to do
with the s27,O deficiency for the De
partment of Justice, for which provis-
ion is made in the urgent deficiency
bill. Mr.. Heney, he said, had received
in all from the government $4,000.
Asked by Mr.. Cox of Indiana if any
of this deficiency was due to the EN-
ployment of special counsel to prose,
cute any trust Mr.. Tawney, answer
ing in the affirmative, said that suit
against the tobacco trust had occa-
stoned some of it.
Mr. Bennett of New York added tha,
the prosecution of the turpentine trust
also was responsible for part of it.
Mr.. Clark of Missouri denounced the
appointment of incompetent district
attorneys, necessitating, as he said
the employment of special counsel.
The practice had grown into fad, he
said, and very expensive fad. He
declared if there had been compe'
tent district attorney or two in the
West there would not have been so
much stealing OF public lands.
Mr.. Mann of Illinois said Mr.. Heney
needed no defense. The only people
opposed to him." he remarked, ARE
those who sympathize with some of
those who have been accused if not
convicted of graft
Mr. Burke of Pennsylvania called
the Illinoisan to order, saying that Mr.
Mann's admission that Mr.. Heney
needed no defense disposed of the ne
cessity of consuming the houses time
Fearful that Mr.. Henry would get a
further allowance, Mr.. Fitzgerald Of
fered an amendment prohibiting it.
The Fitzgerald resolution was voted
down, as was one by MIR. CulloD of
Indiana, prohibiting the payment OF
any part of the deficiency appropria-
tion toward the employment of special
counsel to assist in prosecuting Della
