THE MILkERS
AND MILKING.

1t is the opinion of a dairyman OF
prominence who writes the following
articles regarding milking:
The prime object should be to keep
the milk clean. Any operation about
the stable which would likely stir up
dust should be conducted at least a
half hour before milking Is started In
order that the dust may have time to
settle. Practically all the dirt which
gets into milk comes from the manipu-
lation of the udder while milking. As
an aid to keeping the milk clean the
long hairs about the udder and tanks
should be clipped. The tail and switch
should be kept clean.
Some time before milking is started
the udder and surrounding parts should
be thoroughly cleaned. II the udder
be dry good brushing. followed by
sponging with a damp cloth. will be
found very effective.
Employees about the dairy should be
cleanly in their habits and dress. The
owner Of the dairy should keep him.
self informed In regard TO the health
fulness Of the employees and their
families. and no person afflicted or con-
stantly exposed to a contagious disease
should be allowed to handle milk OF
do any work about the dairy room
Cleanliness Essential.
All utensils used In handling the
milk should be kept scrupulously cleaz
and should be sterilized or at least
scalded out after being cleaned. Be

For the Shepherd.

Lambs that were dropped in April
will now begin to eat grain in an in
closure where the ewes cannot enter.
Crushed oats. ground wheat or wheat
bran and oilmeal make a good mixture.
Some corn may be added a little
later to hasten the fattening. DO not
sell a half fat lamb; It is poor busi-
ness.
DO not let the ewes run down for

King Edward VII of England is
dead after rel On of ten years.
While there will he Il lot OF full
some laudation of his "greatness"
and high qualities by toadies and
upholders of monarchial rule, now
that he has passed into the great
beyond, the dead king was in fact
man of very mediocre ability so
far as any display of his talents 60.
He had no love for the people-the
common people--who were the real
support of his kingdom and power.
In the great political crisis that
England is now passing through and
which portends the overthrow of
the House of the Lords, the remain
ing rag of aristocratic authority in
England, Edward sided with the
Lords, and yet lacked the courage
to come out openly against tine
Commoners. He made no history
that will embellish the annals of
his country. His son and success
or, who takes the title of George
V. will probably be an improve
ment over his father, for he seems
to possess more of his mothers Ia.
ture than his fathers.

A Good Fish Story.

This is the biggest fish story
you've read in many a day, it's
truc-every jot and title of it is
true.
John Marshall opened the door
of his parIor this morning, and
what do you think he sawl
He saw three enormous fish, one
almost as big as an ordinary bar
rel. prone on the floor, gaspipg for
air, trying TO get to water from
which they were barred.
Marshall. who is farmer, nine
miles south of Poplar Bluff, was
amazed into stupefaction. Recov
ering, he captured-it was easy to
do-the great denizens of the water
and brought them to town today.
He showed them to number of
persons, who declared they were
the biggest fish ever seen here.
Placed on the scales one tipped
the beam at 70 pounds, another
weighed IS pounds and the third,
baby one, was only 40 pounds in
weight. They were catfish.
When The water of Black River
was high, it flooded MarshalPs
place. 1t went into the front door
of his home and stayed there pretty
high up. He closed the doors and
waited for it to recede. The water
went down and today he opened
the parIor door, making the mex
pected catch.
Marshall insists that the fish did
NOT play the piauo.-Poplar Blut3

The farmer, who were met iu
national conclave in St. Louis last
week, seem to be imbued with the
spirit of organization. and have
affected union for the promotion
of their own particular interests.
1t is said the organization will en-
compass five million members, and
a force of that volume must, if it
acts as unit, soon become a pow
erful factor in our social organiza
ton. At present it is maintained
that this farmers union has no
political purpose, but only fra
ternal and cooperative one, but
who can tell how soon the care of
the farmers particular interests
will lead this organization into the
field of political action! Then
there will always be the selfish and
designing politicians who will seek
to bend this organization to their
own schemes of power.

Australian Meats Arrive.

During the week ending April
10th a consignment of fresh meats
arrived from Australia and was
sold in New York City for what ii
was worth and what it would
bring. In other words, it was
sold for all the selling agents could
get in about the highest and mean,
est market for meats. American
meats were slow sale at strong
prices, and the Australian meats
had AL active market at less prices
say three cents to four cents a
pound less than other meats usual.
ly sold TO the same class of trade.
The Australian meats come here
for several reasons, all good ones.
The Australians aye short on pop
uIation at home; their markets are
over-stocked; the English ifrozen-
beef trade is not Ut all brisk; they
wanted to try new market. New
York looked pretty high to them,
and lastly, and the most important
reason, is that when Congress took
off the tariff on hides Congress al.
80 reduced the tariff on meats from
3 cents to II cents . pound.

F.. But the Australian meat did pay
II cents a pound duty, and we re
joice at that. There will be some
questions raised as to whether the
producer or consumer paid the tax,
and to decide it we will answer
that whether the meat was taxed
or not, the price was the same-as
before stated-the meat was sold
for all they could get and no more
than they could get on the market.
What the meat originally cost in
Australia cuts no figure on the
market here.
The L! cents pound was de-
Quoted from the money that went
for this meat to Australia, and
this same II cents a pound that
did not go back to Australia did
60 to the support OF the United
States government, which is a good
thing, us the government needs
the money, and, failing to get it in
one way, would get it in another.
The other way would be from US.
The government could not get at
the Australians, but we are here
all the time.
Had the meat come in duty free
it would have sold for neither more
nor less. Had it come in free of
duty, the Australian net result
would have been II cents per
pound more, and the United States
government net result would have
been 1 ! cents per pound less.
That is the way hides are coming
in, free of duty; the foreigner
takes home the Is per cent duty
formerly paid; the government of
the United States gets nothing,
and the United States citizens
make up the difference. The for
eign shippers give US the laugh.
Next time Congress revises the
tariff, unless American farmers as.
sert themselves as Protectionists,
they will have the duty taken off
beef. And when the duty is off
beef, the beef raisers will not be
such good customers of American
manufacturers and American re.
taiIers. The Australians and New
Zealanders have sense enough to
be Protectionists, if we are not.
The money that goes to Australia
will not support American indus
tries.
Notwithstanding this article is
written about Australian beef, we
have in mind another and more
dangerous country, and, when the
trade begins-looks out for Argen-
tine!-The National Farmer and
Stock Grower.

the same wise man wrote ''a feast

of saying the same thing is "mon,

in itself bat when it is coveted or
"loved" as Timothy said, the love
of it becomes, to the c0vetous,
