BULLY GOOD NEWS.

We understand in a round about way
that the G. M. & St. P Railway COM
pany will in the near future discard
its old worn out engines, used in haul
ing the passenger trains OH the Wis
consin Valley division, and substitute
oxen.
Nearly daily every winter and most
of the time in the summer the pass
enger trains on the valley division are
from one to four hours late. 1t is
thought that by substituting oxen
better and more regular time can be
made.-Merrill Daily Herald.

Story of Drinking Man.

Chaplain McCabe tells the story of a
drinking man, who, being in a saloon
late at night. heard the wife of the
saloonkeeper say to her husband:
Send that fellow home; it is late"
NO, never mind" replied her hus-
band; "he is shingling our root for us"
This idea lodged In the mind of the
"drunkard, and he did not return to the
saloon for six months. When passing
the saloonkeeper in the street the
latter said WHY don't you come
round to my place any more?" Thank
you for your kind hospitality" replied
his former victim; Il have been
shingling my own roof lately" The
Industrial aspect of the temperance
reform is embodied in this illustra-
ton.

fastened a pair of fms, which give re-

EGG EXPERIMENT Is UNIQUE
Interesting Little Test Shows Why
1t Is so Easy to Swim in
Salt Water.

Let us take two small pickle bottles,

now, we try to float a fresh egg in
the latter we shall assurodly fail; the

considerably less than that of the egg,
says Magical Experiments. Next
place the egg in B, which is full Of
concentrated brine, end try to make
the egg sink. It is Just as impossible
as to cause it TO float in water. It is
thus clear that strong salt water is
denser than the egg; and, from this
simple experiment, we may guess why
it is SO much easier to swim in salt
than fresh water, since the greater
density of the former permits US the
more easily to float.

%periments. and pour into { the greater

ruin of its supporters; which derives
Its revenues from the plumber OF

childhood and from the degradation of
manhood. which requires for its pros
perity the injury of the community;
which ministers to every vile and
vicious passion and propensity; which
makes ~drunkards and thieves, and en-

Sorghum is an excellent feed for
dairy COWS.
A sorghum dairy ration will in
crease the flow of milk.
1t will pay any farmer or dairyman
having more than three good cows to
buy a good hand separator.
The ideal ration Tor the dairy COW
should include a mixture Of grains,
or alfalfa hay and cut silage.
The cows ration must be governed
by her ability to eat, digest and as
simulate her food and convert it into
milk.
If conditions in and about YOU COW
stable are bad, look out for a visit
from some member of the dairy and
food commission.
You cannot expect to get good fla
yored milk or butter if COWS are kept
In a filthy stable and fed on poor, un-
wholesome feed.
Heifers with their first calves are
nervous and can be induced to give
down their milk only by careful and
judicious treatment.
II Is not advisable 10 return the cali
to a heifer after it has been weaned.
BY doing so a habit is formed that
will remain with the COW through life.
Ropy or stringy milk is a fermenta'
ton and should not be confused with
garget. 1t develops after milk is
drawn and is caused by bacterial
growth.
Have a regular stall for each cow,
put the mixed feed in the trough be-
fore opening the stable door; each one
will then go into her W stall and
can be battered without confusion.
SKINNED milk, used pure, fresh and
warm from the separator can be
turned to almost as much profit as the
cream from the milk, which will great
ly increase the net profits in dairy.

years, and that they descended from
the cattle of the F~rieslanders who, sev-
eral hundred years before Christ, in
habited the country north of the rivers
WAL and the Rhine. That would seem
to be far enough back.
In comparatively modern times we
find importations OF these cattle play
ing an important if not a fundamental
part in the foundation of both the
Shorthorn and the Ayrshire breeds, as
may be readily ascertained by refer
ence 10 the history of those breeds.
In continental Europe these cattle and
their offshoots have stamped their
impress in every direction and are
found in more countries, occupying
greater territory, and producing more
milk. butter and cheese han all the
cattle of other breeds combined.
This breed has spread from its place
of origin far eastward, even to Rus
sia, where at the mouth of the River
Dwina, on the edge of the Arctic
circle, it is represented by a breed
called Kolmogorian. which is the most
highly valued in its section. South
Africa, Australia, New Zealand and
indeed most sections of the world
where dairying is done, have substan-
tial representations of the Holsteins,
and in their purity. too. Quarantine
laws appear to be responsible for their
absence in any large number in Eng
land.
Under a system of advanced registry
testing, through the experiment sta
lions, which has been largely develop
ed since 1894, the Holstein breed now
has a wide foundation stock about
which there is indisputable evidence
Of their ability at the pail, and of their
prepotency; and ! believe that it is
more satisfactory to the average in
weston in this breed to know, beyond
question, what several generations Of
ancestry have done rs dairy producers
and as breeding cattle, than to depend
sntirely upon appearance and immedi-
4te qualities as he Is obliged to do in
electing imported Stock.

The cattle called Holsteins In Amer

of them are from the provinces of
North Holland and Friesland, where

Americans, writes Stanley Milward in
the Farmers Review. The antiquity of
the breed is so good, that history re-
cords no period when the shores of
the North sea and its ~infowing rivers
were not noted for their great black
and white cattle. The Netherland
herd-book states that the pedigree of
these cattle dates back over 1000

SUCCESS IN BEE MANAGEMENT
Profit Not Now Measured by Increase
by Swarmlng as Formerly
Various Methods.
CBy e. f. PHILLIPS, PHI. d.

(By e. T. PHILLIPS, PHI. d.
me excessive rearing of brood at
the wrong season or increase in the
number of colonies greatly reduces
the surplus honey crop by consump-
tion. The ideal to which all progress
,sive bee keepers work, when operat-
ing simply for honey, is to stimulate
brood rearing to prepare bees for
gathering, to retard breeding when
ut Is less desirable, and to prevent
swarming. Very few succeed in en-
tirely preventing swarming, but by va
trious methods the situation can be
largely controlled.
When a swarm issues, 1t usually first
settles on a limb of a tree or bush rear
the apiary. 1t was formerly common
to make a noise by beating pans or
ringing bells in the belief that this
causes the swarm to settle. There is
no foundation for such action on the
part of the bee keeper. If the bees
light On a small limb that can be
spared, it may simply be sawed off
and the bees carried to the hive and
thrown on a sheet or hive cover in
front of the entrance. II the limb
cannot be cut, the swarm a be
shaken off into a box or basket on a
pole and hived. If the bees light on
the trunk of Il tree or in some mae
cessible place. they can first be at
tracted away by a comb, preferably
containing unsealed brood. In these
manipulations it Is not necessary to
get all the bees, but if the queen is
not with those which are put in the
hive the bees will go into the air
again and join the cluster.

swarming. to go through the apiary
and clip enc wing of each queen SO
that If a swarm issues the queen can
hot fly and the bees can be easily re-
turned to the old stand. This should
be done before the hive becomes too
populous. 1t is perhaps best to clip
queens as they are introduced, but
some colonies may rear new ones
without the knowledge Of the owner,
and a spring examination will insure
no escaping swarms.
When clipping the queens wing Is
not practiced. sWarms may be pre-
vented from leaving by the use of
queen traps of perforated zinc. These
allow the workers to pass out, but not
drones or queens, which, on leaving
the entrance, pass up to an upper
compartment from which they cannot
return. These are also used for keep
ing undesirable drones from escaping,
and the drones die of starvation.
Queens sometimes die during the
winter and early spring, and since
there is no brood from which the bees
can replace them, the queenless colo
MES are '~hopelessly queenless." Bee
keepers in the north can frequently
buy queens from southern breeders
early in the spring, and naturally this
Is better than leaving the colony with
out a queen until the bees can rear
one, as it is important that there be
M %stonnapp in brood rearing at this
season.
