Some people seem to keep milk
COWS simply because others keep them,
without regard to whether the cows
are paying q profit. For COW to be
worth keeping she must pay profit
on the feed and care given her. For
her to be really worth while she
should produce 100 per cent more milk
than her feed costs, including pasture.
OF course.
It does not matter SO much what
breed COW belongs to. Simply be.
cause she is of Jersey or Holstein
blood is not positive proof that she is
more than paying her way. A COM
mon COW may be doing better than
she. The only way to find out what
she Is doing is to weigh and test her
milk at regular and frequent inter-
walls. Let her stand on her merits and
not on her ancestry.
The reason why some COWS do not
pay greater profits is because they are
not fed all the nutritious feed they will
eat. This is especially the case with
many farmers in winter, when pas
lures are dead. Many keep their pro.
ducing cows on half feed when they
are not on pasture, and still expect
the cows to make up the loss. II q
COW Is worth keeping at all she is
worth feeding all she can eat and can
be induced to eat. II 1t is not found
profitable to purchase extra feeds, SO
that the cows may have all that they
will consume. then 1t is pest to keep
only as many cows as feed can be pro-
vided for on the farm.
Make the COW produce all the milk
she can by good care and feed and do
not let her go dry until the time she is
ready to turn dry. Keep the best heif.
ers from the best cows.

To cure 'scary" or nervous horse
none but gentle measures are Of any
use. To whip horse for shying at an
object only makes him the more afraid
OF 1t, as Of course he will connect the
whipping with It.
Sometimes horses are made scary
by having their foretops hanging over
their eyes. which gives objects the ap
pearance Of moving.
When horse SHES at an object
speak kindly and reassuringly too him
and gently urge him up to It, let him
smell Of 1t and see that 1t does not
hurt him. He will soon learn to have
more confidence both in himself and
his master.

Dirt from the udder.

The Illinois experiment station has
made number Of experiments to de-
termine the amount Of dirt that falls
from cows udder and tanks in the
process Of milking. 1t was found that
four and a half minutes is the average
time consumed in milking a COW. A
glazed dish, equal in size to pail,
was held under cows udder four and
a half minutes, while motions similar
to those in milking were made. The
dirt caught in the dish was brushed
into tube and weighed. Similar ex-
periments were made with cows whose
udders and TANKS had been washed.
when 1t was found that three and half
times as much dirt fell from unwashed
but apparently clean udders as from
those that had been washed, while
from soiled and muddy udders the
product ran from twenty-five to TWEEN
ty-four times as much as from clean
ones.

An Insurgent on High Prices.
President Taft win have to find some
other reason for the increased cost Of
living than the increased output Of the
gold mines before he can convince the
Western tariff insurgents that the Al
drich tariff is not robbing the purchas-
!ers of highly protected goods, as ev-
erybody knows it was deliberately In
tended to do.
Senator Clapp. OF Minnesota, whose
constituents are not protected In any
OF the schedules. cannot be convinced
that tariff which adds injury to In
suit by impudently raising. beyond the
limit of tolerance, the import taxes on
such necessaries as cotton and wooden
goods. does not add to the annual ex.
pense account of the average Ameri-
can family.
II the Aldrlch tariff was not intend
ed to accomplish this very result there
Is no sense in it. The higher duties
do not go into the Treasury Of the
United States. because the average
American family cannot afford to buy
the better foreign goods after they
have paid the custom-house tax Of 100
per cent or more ad valorem. The pro-
hibitive custom-house tax only places
1t In the power Of the protected mo-
nopolist to charge the consumer an
unearned profit Of half or three-quar-
tiers the amount OF the tax on goods
which he would not buy II he were not
coerced by Congress which legislates

after having paid his forced contribu-
lions to the beneficiaries Of Aldrich
Legislation.
The Aldrich- Taft Cannon tariff com
bine cannot convince Iowa, Minnesota.
Kansas and Wisconsin that the tariff
monopolies have any divine right to
rob them simply because they are just
now enjoying an unusual degree Of
prosperity. The tariff is still the burn
ing issue Of the immediate future

Every farmer who raises any con-
siderable amount of hay should pur-
chase hay press. Excepting the very
limited market that is right at home
there is no market at all for unbaled
hay. A hay press enables farmers to
put their hay into the one form In
which it can always be sold.
Baled hay brings better price than
unbaled hay. The difference is not
merely the cost of bailing. Farmers
who are prepared to do their own bal.
ing can figure on liberal compensation
for their work and still have a nice
margin of profit on their baled hay
over what they would receive for 1t

Keepinx Children ON the Farm.

Keeping Children ON the Farm.
The time has come when we should
make the country something more
than a breeding ground for thorough
bred stock for the city. 1t is well
enough that we have an open avenue
from the farm to the city. But the
success Of our agriculture depends up
on keeping upon the farms class of
young men and women who represent
the very flower Of our citizenship. Ev-
cry effort should be made to elevate
the calling of agriculture to It's proper
level, and this can be accomplished in
no other way than by educating our
young men and women so that they
are competent to make the most out Of
their environment and adapt them
selves to modern conditions.-Agricul-
tural Epitomist.

Ing and recently congressman-at-large
from that state. who was In Chicago
the other day.
Mr.. Osborne Is Democratic national
committeeman for his state He said
the people OF the mountain states voted
for Taft because they believed that
he would carry into effect the Roose-
welt policies in all matters excepting
the tariff. and that in that he would
be guided by the views of the Demo-
cratic party as presented to the people.
Had they believed they would be

former governor, they would have
voted for Bryan, Notwithstanding past
differences on the money question.
The reputation by the administra-
tion Of its prediction promises to re-
duce the tariff and take the taxes OH
OF the west and the small cities Of
America has disguised the Republican
voters west Of the Rocky mountains.
THE Payne-Aldrich bill, increasing
the taxes in excess of any bill ever in
existence. is regarded by the western
Republicans as display of defiance
Of their will and willingness on the
part of the Taft administration to trick
the people whenever 1t is to the pleas

cial dictators Of New England and the
east. They regard the whole proceed
ing as sacrifice Of the middle west,
its cities and Its Industries. for the

warm MAX for the C.Iv... !

Warm MILK for the Calves.
Cold milk, especially when the
weather begins to get chilly, Is not
best for calves. 1t gives them some
thing Of a shock and is slow to digest,
Anything that does this can not be
best for the animal that eats 1t.
My attention was called to this by
comparison of the calves Of an old
neighbor of mine with those on the
farms of other men around me. This
old man always warmed the milk he
gave his calves. Not only in winter
and fall. but right through the sum
mer months, the milk was placed on
the stove and warmed as regularly
as the fire was lighted to get break
fast.
And he always had such fine calves!
Great big fellows, weighing lot more
than those Of his neighbors. When
other men would have calves to turn
on that would weigh say $50 pounds,
bringing them perhaps 81 or So, his
would tip the balances at twenty-five
or fifty pounds more, with CORE /.
spending amount Of money In the
pocket.
Not only that. The calves made
larger cows and better cows. No doubt
about that. Nobody around had such
cows for size as he did. And they gave
a fine mess of milk, too.
Here I found my lesson and tried
to follow the example Of the kindly
Old neighbor, and did 1t with success.
the secret of this kind Of feeding is
not hard to find. With the warm mnk
digestion began at once. The warm
milk was more easily turned into bone
and muscle and fat. 1t took some lit
tie time and strength to do this work,
out am sure 1t paid.-E. L. Vincent,
