Have the same person milk the
same cows as far as possible.
The calf pail should be just as care
fully cared for as any other utensil In
the dairy.
1t is a mistake to breed the heifer

her a chance to develop first.
The creamery is becoming so pop

Through the use of silos and soil
ing crops from two to Ave times as
many COWS can be kept on the same
land.
The abused COW is always the ugly
COW. Likewise the ugly COW has near
ly always been made that way by
abuse.
The COW must have pasture or its
equivalent. This accounts for the
many soils and the great popularity
Of soiling crops.
The separator needs v%entilating.
The best plan is to leave it uncov-
cred or better still. leave the parts
unassembled after washing.
Much is said about scales on the
farm, but the most important scale is
the one that hangs up behind the cows
and Is used after every milking.
The tight, unventilated barn may
be a little warmer than one that is
properly taken care of, but 1t is also
a whole lot more damp and dangerous
to the health Of the cows.
Some cows are such persistent
mixers that 1t is almost impossible to
dry them OF before freshening. This
should be done, however, for every
rood cow needs q little rest

A Profitable Business.

A farmer in New Jersey makes a
good deal Of money by buying up fair
ly good COWS and selling them at auc-
ton. His sales are held just before
they become fresh, or when they are
s%pringing udders, as a COW looks at
her best at that time. For a month
or two previous to the sale he feeds
literally, brushes the coats OF the ami
mails vigorously twice a day and when
the sale day arrives their horns are
polished, their tails combed and they
present a so per cent. better appear
ance than COWS of better blood which
have had only ordinary care. In this
way this Jerseyman gets from SIS to
$50 per COW more than anybody else
in that county.

Ready for Their Milk.

really need it, will not get sufficient.
After the calves are fed their milk in
the stanchions they should have a
little dry grain and a wisp of alfalfa
or clover hay or some green food. The
%stanchion can be made in sections and
set up anywhere in the barn or taken
to the field.
Wooden ~stanchions are easily and
cheaply constructed, for they can be
made largely of waste lumber, says
the Farm and Home. The lumber re
quired for ten stanchions of this kind
is as follows:
Two pieces 1x12 inches by 10 feet
for bottom of feed box.
Two pieces 1X12 inches by 16 feet
for upright partitions.
Two pieces Ike inches by 10 feet for
front of feed box.
Five pieces Ike inches by 16 feet
for top and bottom rails.
Five pieces 1X4 inches by IA feet
full thickness for fixed uprights.
Two pieces 1x4x16 inches, q inches
thick, for swinging uprights.
Ten pieces 1x3x10 inches for
tongues or locks.
Three posts 6 feet long.
Three blocks 6x12 inches under feed
box.
This allows 2 feet of space OF each
calf, which can, if desired, be reduced
to IL feet, and the lumber reduced
accordingly.

KEEPING BARN YARDS CLEAN
Good Milk When Cows Wade
Through Mud and Filth.
(By B. j. LYON.)

(By B. j. LYON.)
1t has always been a source Of greet
wonder to me how any dairyman car
expect to produce good milk when his
COWS are compelled to wade through
mud and filth in the barn yard.
Even if the barn itself is scrupu-
lousy clean-which it cannot be if the
yards are muddy-the odor arising
from the filthy barn yard will Offset all
the efforts made to keep the milk
clean when it comes from the w
There is no Il solution to fit all
barn yards. Each must be treated by
itself and to meet the conditions *
listing in it. If the yard is situated on
a gentle slope, all that will be needed
is tile drainage, placed aDout six feet
apart. Tile will keep am barn yard
perfectly dry, but if there is only an
occasional low place in the yard the
thing need not be placed SO close to-
gether.
In some yards a great deal of
broken rock, gravel and coal cinders

black heavy soil it may be kept ca
sonably dry by covering it with these
materials. The first thing to be done
is to remove the top soil to a depth of
at least six inches, then over the
ground with the largest broken rock.
This may be in pieces of from two to
five inches in diameter. Large pebbles
are excellent for this purpose as they
allow the water to drain perfectly
from the surface.
The layer Of large rocks or stone
should be thoroughly tamped down
with a heavy tamping iron or rolled
with a field roller.
The second layer should be a little
smaller and the third very fine
crushed stone. The last layer may be
mixed with cinlers which make a hard
surface and if it is properly leveled
off can after a time easily be scraped
with an iron or wooden hoe.

For ill Production.

The man who tries to get a good
flow Of milk out of his COWS by feed
ing them corn slower, oat straw and
corn, with perhaps a little bran. is
attempting to perform the impossible
to make something out of nothing.
Feeds that contain milk producing
compounds must be supplied, and if
clover or alfalfa or cowpea hay is not
to be had, bran, oil meal and cotton
seed meal must be bought and fed in
considerable quantities.

Great Difference in Milk.

Every person who has ever MIXED
COWS, as well as some who have only
witnessed this interesting process at a
very safe distance, realize that there Is
much variation in the quantity of
milk from certain cows in the same

most people milk is milk very few

JUMPS TO AVOID DEATH.
Lineman Finds Rattlesnake High Up
on Telegraph Pole.

Finding a coiled rattlesnake about
three inches above his head on a
cross-arm Of telegraph pole he had
climbed Saturday afternoon, at
Gainesville, Georgia, Clarence
Rainey, a young lineman for a local
telephone company, made no effort
to defend himself from the reptile,
but shaking his climbers" loose,
dropped 40 feet to the ground. For
tunately, he landed in soft ground
en- his feet and unhurt.
Rainey says that when he saw the
snake he was preparing to adjust
his life belt. 1t is presumed that
if he had arranged that belt, the
snake, which was coiled to strike,
would have bitten the lineman be-
fore he could disengage himself from
the pole. The huge rattler was
brought down by throwing rope
over the pole, and when measured
was found to be Sc inches long, an
inch and half circumference
and with nine rattles.
Much mystery was encountered IN
trying to solve how the snake made
his, way up the 40-foot pole. 1t did
not seem probable that it had crawl
ed there, but this was accepted as
the only plausible means.

Will MAKE Him TELL
GEO. W. PERKINS FACES WRATH
OF THE HOUSE.
Tells All About Steel Merger but
Declines to Give Light as 10 Cam
paign Contributions.

George W. Perkins, a director of
the United States Steel corporation,
and one of the men said 70 have
aided in averting financial disaster
during the pane Of 1907, faces the
alternative of answering questions
tc the house committee Of inquiry
into the steel corporation bearing on
his personal campaign contributions
made by the New York Life 1nsur-
ance company, or Of being cited be-
fore the bar Of the house Of repre-
sentatives.
Should the house sustain the ma
tority of the committee and order
Mr.. Perkins to answer, and should he
then still refuse, he may be adjudged
in contempt of congress and impris-
oned. 1t is believed, however, that
this crisis will not be reached, Mr..
Perkins having expressed a desire to
reflect on his position.
Mr.. Perkins, though personally
willing to talk about campaign con-
tributions, refused on the advice of
counsel to answer interrogatories on
that line put to him by Chairman
Stanley and Representative Beall of
Texas. Richard Uindabury, counsel
for the steel corporation, and Edgar
A Bancroft, wko appeared for Mr..
Perkins, insisted that the authority
CT the committee in this inquiry was
relevant and an attempt to- inquire
into the private campaign contribu-
tions of the witness or his relations
with corporations foreign TO the steel
corporation.
Late Tuesday, after the witness,
his coursellors and the committee
had .wrangled long over the hitch.
and the chairman's decision that he
must answer had been sustained af-
ter an appeal by Representative
Young of Michigan, Chairman Stan
ley warmed Mr.. Perkins that 1t might
be necessary to cite him to the bar
of the house. The chairman later
suggested that the New York finan-
cler appear in the house Wednesday
to avoid being taken into custody by
the sergeant at arms.
When matters reached this stage,
Mr.. Perkins said the si&us.tion WAS
so critical that he wisa,.d time 10
consider. This was granted. Mr..
Perkins," said Chairman Stanley
"wilI be given another opportunity
to answer. If he still persists in re-
fusing to answer, there will be moth
ing to do but to cite, MIN before the
bar of the house."
I'Mr. Perkins, aside from this
turn in the committee proceedings
told the committee a remarkable
story of the panic of 1907 and the
events which made necessary the abb
sorption of the Tennessee Coal and
Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation. He admitted the
steel corporation had contributed to
the spread of protective tariff doc
trine and verified records produced
by Chairman Stanley that the steel
Corporation in 1906 sought legal ad-
vice which directed that. as a cor
poratdon, 1t should not make contr1-
button to campaign funds.
