MYsTERIOUsLY DISAPPEARED.
[snecial % The sentinel.l

Salida. Colo, July 12.-The mys-
terious disappearance of George Ham
mond. well known resident of this
county. has aroused a great deal of
interest and vigorous efforts are now
being made TO locate the man by his
distracted wife and also by the local
authorities and the Officers of Ere
mont county. Mr. Hammond has
long been identified with the ID. & r.
G. as book keeper and auditor, and
the fact that he is so well known
makes his disappearance all the more
mysterious. A short time ago he
purchased a ranch near Coaldale in
Fremont county, about thirty miles
east of Salida, and on the morning of
the 18Th of last month he informed
his wife that he expected to go to
Salida to look after some business
Several days elapsed before any un-
easiness was felt as his wife thought
he had probably met some old
friends and remained in Salida for a
visit. Finally. however. she became
alarmed and made inquiries in Sa-
Ida, but could find no trace of him.
Now thoroughly alarmed she insti-
tuted search for the missing man,
and notified the authorities of Ere
mont and Chaffee counties.
MIR. Hammond was last seen on the
afternoon of June 19. walking from
Coaldale toward Cotopaxi, in an OPP
posite direction from Salida. Since
that time not the slightest trace of
him has been found. and IL is feared
he is either wandering in the noun
tains in a demented condition, or has
fallen into the river and the body
been buried in the sands. When last
seen he was wearing "A pair of blue
overalls and a checked shirt, dark
coat and black soft hat He is a
man 55 years of age. feet inches
/ in height, weighs about 200 pounds,
is slightly bald. has partially gray
hair light gray eyes and a white
mustache.

Keep Cows Clean,

Some cows are more Clearly in
their habits than others. Some will
keep clean at all times if stall condi-
tons for cleanliness are possible,
while others will invariably lie down
in their own filth. Manure on the
cows udder and hind quarters is very
Objectionable. 1t is unsightly. un-
sanitary and causes extra work in
grooming the animal. There are sew
eral devices for preventing a COW
from lying down in her own filth.
The most common one is the gutter
behind the animal for receiving the
droppings. Another plan is to place
4 two by four plank across the stall
at the rear about even with the cows
hind feet, When she lies down she
will always lie in front of this board
where the droppings do not fall. The
floor should slope from front to back

MILKING A DAIRY COW.
It Does Not Pay to Handle Any But
Good Ones.

We are, as our readers will see, still
boring away on this dairy cow prop
osition, endeavoring to persuade our
readers to keep good cows, and as
many of them as they can milk as
chore, says Wallace's Farmer. BY
good" COW we mean one that will
give at least $50 pounds of butter
year. A cow that gives less than this
may pay expenses, but she will not
furnish sufficient profit to justify the
farmer in keeping her.
We are looking at the thing just
now from a different standpoint. We
wish our readers would sit down and
think how much time it takes them to
milk cow, or, to put it another way,
how much of their time is taken in
milking ten COWS and caring for the
separator. Say it takes two hours.
Now the question we wish to put is:
What is this two hours time worth?
How much profit are you making by
giving the two hours time twice day,
or four hours a day, and milking ten
COWS that will yield less than ESQ
pounds of butter, crediting the cows
with the skim-milk and buttermilk
at Is cents per 100 pounds? 1t Is worth
80 cents now when fed to hogs; but
we take Is cents because that has
been about the average value when
fed to pigs and calves.
Now what profit can farmer make
If he gives four hours a day to ten
COWS, If his COWS yield him $50 pounds
of butter year, with feed at present
prices or average prices? Suppose
you had nothing else to do and were
handling 20 cows. how long would
1t take you to break up and go
into the hands of the sheriff, feeding
the average COWS in the corn and
grass country, which yield only about
$50 pounds of butter? How much
if your COWS give ITS pounds, 200
pounds, 225 pounds? How much
would you make if you had your COWS
up to 800 pounds, which you can cas-
| lily do If you will follow our sugges-
| tons?
Turn this COW question over and
| look at it from this standpoint. Then
eide whether it will pay you to at
once get scales and a Babcock test
| and go at it and find out what you
are doing in the COW department Of
| your farm.
We have omitted one item, namely,
that the manure from dairy cow is
worth about six dollars a year when
hauled out at once on the fields. AS
1t is usually handled it is worth about
three dollars, less the cost of hauling
it out. Let us attend to business and
look at this and every other subject
from matter of fact, practical stand
| point. What is your time actually
worth to you in dollars and cents
when you are milking COWS that give
you less than $50 pounds of butter?
| One great mistake of the farmer in
his and other matters is that he does
lot consider his time worth anything;
| 1t least, he does not seem to.

STAMP FOUNDER 81 YEARS.
George II. chamberIin, Wisconsin,
Holds Postmaster Record.

Eau Claire, Wis.-The post Office at
miles west of Eau Claire, was
discontinued by the government after
an existence of over 81 years under
one postmaster, George H. Chamber
lin, who has served in that capacity
ever since the post office was estab-
lished in 1857. Mr.. Chamberlin was,
in all probability, the oldest living
postmaster in point of service in the
United States.
Mr. Chamberlin, who is now 30, but
hale and hearty as man of so, was
appointed postmaster at Rock Falls
in 1857 by President James Buchanan,
and though various parties have al
ternated in ruling the destinies of
this nation, Mr. Chamberlin has served
continuously since his appointment up
to the present time. Although ap-
pointed by Democratic president, Mr.
Chamberlin is Republican and says
he has always been one. He says that
he has voted for every Republican
nominee for president since 1856
The history of Rock Falls is essen
tally a history of Mr., Chamberlin, so
closely have his fortunes been inter
woven with those of the little village

Hampshire and spent his early days
in Vermont and Massachusetts. He

of 1851 and cleared farm near Briggs

The returns show that while
droughts, excessive rains, or pests
wrought havoc in many districts in
the middle western, eastern, and sew
eral southern states, the entire crop
is fully as large as in 1907, and it is
better distributed. Prices also are
higher than last year. However, the
domestic supply is smaller than at any
time since 1895, fer the reason thai
the demand of the export trade is
heavier and increasing yearly.

Soon Pays for Itself.

Where one has more than six or
eight good cows, a separator pays.
With its use the skimmilk can be
had in its highest state of freshness,
sweetness and purity for human food
and for stock feed. With this num-
Der, or more, Of cows, the separator
will soon pay for itself in close skim
ming and the saving of cream. By its
use there is, less expense in hauling
milk to the creamery. Where butter
is made at home greater quantity and
better quality can be produced.

ECONOMICAL FEEDING.
With High-Priced Grain Farmers Must
Feed InteIlIgentIy.

At the present time when grain
are selling from the farmers hands
at moderate price, it is good time
to stop and consider the best and
most economical methods Of feeding.
Although there has been much said
on the feed question within the last
few years, there seems to be dearth
of actual knowledge on this important
subject.
While standing near stock Of all
kinds at the fairs, one often hears the
remarks, my, that is nice animal.
l wonder what they feed him on" The
same old idea seems to prevail that
did scores of years ago, that an ami
NAL can be sustained on single feed,
and that some of the successful feed
ers must have found some single feed
that possesses some great properties
Of exceeding value as feed, or has
discovered an elixir that has a mar
velous power in aiding the animals
in converting the feeds on the farm
into meat.
1 think that If those who seek for
some feed nostrum Of great value
would take a rational view of the
subject, they would see that no one
feed can be relied on to sustain an
animal as economically as a variety
Oh feeds. If they will study the chem
ical composition of feeds, and also
the chemical elements required by the
different parts Of the animal body,
they will soon see that no one feed
can supply all that the animals need
and that several feeds will be re-
quired to meet the demands.
Experience has taught the dairymen
that timothy hay and cornmeal Is not
a good ration for the dairy cow. They
find that the corn fodder in some
and some roots fed along with mix
ture of cornmeal, oatmeal and wheat
bran gives better results than the mar.
row ration of timothy and corn meal

easily digested, but it is not perfect

straw and some cotton seed or linseed
meal and much better results secured
than can be If the one feed. silage
alone, Is relied on us ration.
This same rule will hold good in
feeding the horses, beef cattle, sheep
swine or poultry. When the cost OF
feed is considered and the results that
can be obtained are measured, it will
be found that the most economical
method of feeding is to supply the
animals with variety of feeds. The
increase in product is greater and
the time Of making it is shorter. II
any one questions the statement let
them try a narrow ration on a part
of any class of animals they chance
to have and a wider and varied ration
on the balance and watch the result.
At the same time keep record OF the
cost of feeds used and after period
of a few months settle in their mind
as to which is the most economical
method of feeding.
