to be very much aggravated where In.

WHAT MILK CONTAINS.

The milk contains water, fat, pro-
tein, casein or curd, sugar, and ash
and these are all made from the con.
stituents of the food. If sufficient
protein, fat, and carbohydrates are
not contained in the food given her,
the GOV supplies this deficiency for a
time by drawing on her W body, and
gradually begins to shrink in quantity
or quality of milk, or both. The
stingy feeder cheats himself as we'll
as the COW. She may suffer from hun
ger, although her belly is full of swale
hay, but she also becomes poor and
does not yield the milk and butter she
should. Her milk glands are a won
derful machine, but they cannot make
milk casein (curd) out Of the constitu-
ents in coarse, u~nappetizing, indigesti-
BILE swale hay or sawdust any ore
than the farmer himself can make but
ter from skim milk. She must not
only have a generous supply of good
food, but it must contain sufficient
amounts of the nutrients needed for
making milk. Until this fact is under.
stood and appreciated, successful,
profitable dairying is out of the ques-
ton.

NUTRIENTS NEEDED FOR MILK.

In reply to an inquiry Hoard's
Dairyman gives the following that
will be of Importance to dairyment
of the Pacific Northwest:
1t is not possible for us to publish
a complete set of tables, for cows pro-
ducing various tests of milk, but the
following will undoubtedly be all that
is necessary for calculating the ration
of ordinary COWS. The food of main
tenance required daily by a cow weigh
ing 1000 pounds is Z of a pound of
protein, 7 pounds of carbohydrates
and 4 of a pound of fat. The amount
of nutrients required for the produc-
ton of 10 lbs. of milk containing a
given per cent of butterfats is as fol-

The pasture is the exponent Of the
farm, says Secretary Wilson. 1t should
have growing in it all the grasses and
legumes suitable to the soil and CHI
mate. Nc one plant makes a good pas
ture, because each plant has its sea-
son for blooming, after which 1t is
not a good grazing plant. Where half
a dozen grasses and as many legumes
grow together, each is at it's best for
grazing in it's own time. Young
grasses and legumes are natures per-
feet ration for domestic animals. Milk
and meat and work are had more
cheaply from the pasture than from
other sources. You will observe that
pasture land increases as farm help
becomes scarce.

If 20 uare in the dairy business you
will need a separator. 1t is n of the
machines that will enable you to han
die the product from more COWS and
do it easier than the old way. When
you buy a separator the Empire has
several advantages that should be con-
sidered. It is simple, durable, skins
thoroughly, is easily cleaned and runs
so easily that a child a operate it.

The Pacific Dairy Review gives the
following: We know of one Califor-
MIA dairyman who happened to come
into possession of a herd of Jerseys.
After he had them a year or two he
was discouraged with them on account
of their Disappointing low yield. He
had failed to take into consideration
the steady, persistent working tend
ency. of the Jersey and other special
dairy breeds, and without providing
suitable fded, to his disappointment
he found them drying up early. Later
he put in a silo and filled it and to-
day he is both a Jersey and a silo
enthusiast. He did not know that he
had a good herd until he had the feed
supply to bring out their best work.

A mixed ration will enable the farmer
to work off many kinds of food that
may not be of value when fed alone,
and all classes of stock will prefer a
mixed ration to receiving one or two
kinds exclusively. Even straw will be
eaten and relished at times when cat
tie have been deprived of it for a while.

BY all means get good heavy milk
pals, pans or Inns 1t Is poor econ
omy to buy light ones.
Never sacrifice a heifer calf from a
first class butter COW. All are needed
to supply the depleted diaries. Don't
use a scrub bull as a sire!
There is not a bit of profit in feed
ing bad hay to a good cow. Re-
suits show how the cow is fed, so be
careful.
Good care of the COW consists of
keeping her comfortable and content
ed and supplying her with a sufficient
amount of the proper kind of feed,
nothing more, nothing less. When she
is made comfortable and supplied
with sufficient feed she will yield a
maximum amount of milk. She will
do all she is capable of doing.

Case Appealed

KANSAS CITY, Mo, May H.-Another
step was taken by the state to restrain the
railroads of Missouri from restoring the g.
cent passenger fare when Jeptha Howe of
St. Louis, representing Seebert Jones, cir
cult attorney of that city, today filed In
the federal court here appeal from the
recent decision of Federal Judge Smith
Mcpherson continuing in force tempo
rary Injunction restraining the circuit at
torney from prosecuting an injunction suit
against the railroads The appeal was filed
with consent of Judge Mcpherson. who
was not present, but from whom telegram
was read sanctioning the action. The ap-
peal is based on allegations of errors in
the ruling of Judge Mcpherson.
Circuit Attorney Jones Instituted suit
In the circuit court of st. Louis seeking to
restrain the railroads Of Missouri from
iEangurasihg a scent passenger rare. Judge
Philips in the federal court here, upon the
application OF counsel for the railroads,
granted q temporary injunction against
this suit. Later Judge MCPHERSON, after
a hearing of the case on its merits. con-
tinued the temporary injunction In force
until otherwise ordered by the court on the
grounds that the suit of the St Louis cir
cult attorney was an effort to relegate the
questions decided by Judge Mcpherson In
his final decree in which he decided that
the 2-cent passenger law of Missouri was
unconstitutional and confiscatory. The ap-
peal filed by Mr.. Howe today seeks to re-

the scope of what Is now known as the
sugar scandal" increases and the arm OF
the law is being stretched into places high
and low to arrest and expose those re-
sponsible for the most gigantic series OF
irregularities ever brought to light I'm

government authorities are leaving no
stone unturned and showing no mercy in
the exposure. One member OF Parliament
after another is placed under arrest The
constitutional party, which carried every
thing before II in the last session of the
Diet. has been the chief sufferer and Will
find It extremely difficult to rally under
the blow.
There have been arrested so far twenty
members of Parliament and six directors
of the company. A determined effort has
been made for the last two sessions OF the
Diet to nationalize the sugar company
that is to say. TO get the government 20
take 1t over from the stockholders. II ap-
pears from confessions alleged to have
been made by arresting directors that in
order to bring this about a sum of $4,000
was spent in bribery, and the names of
some fifty members Of Parliament, IL is
understood have been mentioned IN this
connection. Even the upper house suf-
fered a certain loss OF prestige.
The charges against the directors are
fraud, Justification OF private documents
and digracing their office. Among other
things, dividends were not paid out of
legitimate funds, but were distributed for
the sake OF throwing up the value Of the
stock to benefit spectators. A large num-
ber of foreigners lost money.
| The whole thing, however. has brought
about a somewhat hopeful condition in
Japan, where hitherto the loose conduct of
business in which the public was invited
| to invest was not considered as much
reproach upon reputation of men of high
standing as is the case in western coun-
tries, This last development has involved
so many foreigners, ss well az Japanese
that the widespread publicity and the out
cry Of the foreigners is likely to have an
| exceedingly beneficial effect. The news

The letter came from England, but from
whom and what part Mr.. Hall could not

did not state. Mr.. Hall brought the letter

paper had been off the the press MIR. Hall
was called up on his telephone several
