Taft seeks his office and transacts such business
as is absolutely necessary Ordinary official mat
ters must wait the coming of the second day OF
the year for consideration. When the first office
duties Of the morning the president re-
turns to the White House proper where he takes
his place in the big east with his wife at
his right hand. BY the special invitation Of Mrs
Taft the wives of some of the more prominent
officials Of Washington, with some of her close
acquaintance among the resident Washington
families are asked to become members of the
receiving party. The cabinet always are
present at the White House reception, taking
their places at the right of Mrs. Taft in order
of cabinet rank. The wife Of the secretary of
state takes the first place and the wife of the
secretary Of commerce and labor the last place
Cabinet positions rank in the order of the crea-
tion of the departments.
With the president and in full uniform are the
young army officer and navy officer aides. 1t is
Major Archibald Butt of the army who is Mr.
Taft's chief personal military attendant. 1t Is
Major Butts duty to repeat the name of each
guest as he she is presented to the president
and hard duty it is, for the major must catch
every whispered name the visitor gives it to
him and catch it correctly, for If he makes
mistake he is likely to give offense to per
who thinks that his ought to be known
without the asking. Major Butts position
carries with it cares to make mans hair grow
white over night.
At eleven O'Clock in the morning the official
procession begins. For an hour it has been form

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 mistake to breed the heifer
SO that she freshens too young. Give
her a chance to develop first.
The creamery is becoming so pop
ular all through the country that So
called dairy butter is on the wane.
Through the use of silos and soil
ing crops from two to five 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 ventilating.
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 little warmer than one that is
properly taken care of, but it is also
a whole lot more damp and dangerous
to the health of the COWS.
Some COWS are such persistent
mixers that it is almost impossible to
dry them off before freshening This
should be done, however, for every
good COW needs g little rest

Eor Milk 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 MIX,

Every person who has ever MIXED
cows, as we'll as some who have only
witnessed this interesting process at
very safe distance, realize that there is
much variation in the quantity Of
milk from certain cows in the same
herd and on the same feed, but to
most people milk is milk" very few

commonly called the richness" Of it.

AID IN RAISING DAIRY CALF
Young Animals Are Shut Up in Small
Stanchions and Prevents Suck
ing of Udders and Ears.

Small stanchions are a great help
in raising dairy calves. The calves
are shut in these, as shown in the pic
ture, before feeding, which allows
each one to get the proper amount of
food and prevents sucking each 9TH
ers' ears and udders, which often
works considerable injury.
Where a bunch of calves are
raised together the larger and strong
er ones will get more than their share
Of milk, and the smaller ones, which

His Idea of Heaven.

The Sunday school teacher had been
telling her infant class of the delights
of heaven. One youngster paid close
attention and after Sunday school was
over, walked up to the teacher.
"Teacher," he said, do they have
billy goats with long whiskers up
there? | want one awful bad, but
grandpa says I can't have one. If
they don't have billy goats up in
