convenient location, so handy to the
wharf, the postoffce and the beach.
combined with the careful manage
ment and the polite and courteous
attention accorded to every guest, IL
Is not hard to find the reasons why
this fact should be true.

The action of congress in delaying

1cod sufferers of the Mississippi val

of the ways and means committee to
give a paltry $4,000 in a district
where 10000 people are homeless. the
economy is Gilbertian in it's farce The
old soldiers who fought this country's
battles should be placed in position
free of care or want, but indescrim-
mate pension of all soldiers whether in
need or deserving, is different mat
ter. On the other hand this nation
should be big enough to care for those

Maturing Qualities.

The early maturing character of the
Guernsey is not marked The young
bulls show masculine traits more slow
.ly than the Jersey, and reach maturity
somewhat later.
The Ayrshire-Natiye Home.
The native home of the Ayrshire is
in southwestern Scotland in the coun-
ty Of Ayr, from which the breed de-
rives its name. Ayr is triangularly
crescent in its shape, its southern tip
just touching latitude SIS degrees
north, its western boundary somewhat
inderted and bordering the Irish sea
and river Clyde its other side skirted
by the counties of Renfrew, Lavark,
Durnfries, Kirkcudbright, and Wig
town. There is an extreme length of
about 80 miles, with an area of about
115O square miles Rather poor and
sandy land occurs in the southern part
toward the sea, while much beautiful
rolling pasture land of fair soil is
found more inland, and some rougher
land on the eastern border. On the
better lands, which are clayey, grass,
oats, and wheat are largely grown and
there is an abundance of summer
grazing The climate is very moist,
but the bitterness of northern winter
is somewhat tempered by the sea.
Characteristics of Ayrshires.
Mature cattle of this breed impress
one as of medium dairy size, as large
milk producers, and yet with more of
beefy tendency than some other dairy
breeds. The color includes red, brown,
and white.
Secretary Winslow of the Ayrshire
association in the 1902 yearbook re
ports that the color that seems to please
the majority is dark red and pure
white, about one third white in splash
es. In Canada and Scotland strong
admixture of white is popular. The
horns are white with black tips, curve
outward and upward, and often, es-
pecially with COWS, turn back at the
long and rather large = x -
The body Of the Ayrshire is capacious,
the ribs being long and well sprung,
the rump usually high, broad, long and
level, while the thighs and the hind
quarters partake somewhat of heshi-
ness. The depth Of body often APP
pears great, with relative shortness
of leg. The udder development of the
modern Ayrshire presents a higher
average perfection of form, in the
writer's opinion, than does any other

trust that he will prove himself a
thoroughbred at this time by getting

AS to the other gentleman from
Bonner county, whose name we can
not recall, we would not say word
against him if we could, and we could
not say anything for him if we would,
because he is unknown to the major
ity of the people of the state. 1t is
probably true that he has been good

The Guernsey Home.
The native home of Guernsey cat
tie is on the islands of Guernsey and
Attorney in the Channel Islands
group, off the coast of France in the
English Channel. The island of
Guernsey, on which they are mainly
bred, is triangular in form and is
about nine and one-half miles long
from southeast to northwest, and six
across in the widest part The south
coast is long cliff, reaching height
of 20 feet, the land roughly sloping
nortlward to a low beach There is
population of about $4,000 on the
island, ST. Peter Port is the main
town, and the people besides produc-
ing cattle, make speciality of crops
under glass, such as grapes, tomatoes,
melons, flowers, etc, for the London
market. Guernsey is second in size to
Jersey, contains, with one or two lit
tie islands, 1900 acres, and main
tains some 5000 head of cattle The
climate is most balmy the year round,
the island being a famous health
resort. The cattle are kept in small
herds, each animal being tethered
when in pasture, grazing systematical-
ly ard making careful use of all food

TAYLOR STILL AHEAD.

One candidate after another has
dropped out of the race for the gov
ernorship until now it seems certain
that Hon. S. d. Taylor will be the man,
says the Soda Springs Chieftain, pa
per widely circulated in southeastern
Idaho. While there are a few pro-
fesSional men or near-profession men
who still insist that the governorship,
as well as nearly all other officers,
should go to member of the legal
profession, there is such a strong SEN
timent among business men and lay
men that the present sad example of a
lawyer as chief executive is an object
lesson that will not be soon forgotten.
There is little chance for a lawyer to
land in the governors chair this year.
Certain self-appointed leaders of
the party have tried to injure the can
didacy of Mr.. Taylor by inducing
couple Of unsuspecting fellows from
Bonner county to get into the race.
This is but to be expected and is look
ed upon as a joke by the people gem
orally That Paul GLADSTONE is nice
boy and that other gentleman, whose
name we have forgotten, is also nice
man, we admit, but we also must rec
ognize the fact that we cannot make
governors of all the nice boys and nice
men in the state.
Paul made a sad mistake in the last
election, first by thinking that he was
a candidate and second by "hollering"

weighs from 700 to 800 pounds, and
the bull about 1000 They often, how
ever, weigh less than this. In general
conformation one is impressed with
certain roughness and angularity of
form, after the more angular Jersey
type In quality they show mellow
hide, and rich yellow skin, notable
for its high orange-yellow color with
in the ear and about the udder. A
fine silky coat of harris an important
indication of quality. ''The chief
points of these cattle" says C. N.
Lepter Of Quebec, from dairyrnan's
point of view, are that they have large
udders, and teats placed far apart and
pointing in 'front.'
AS Milk Producers.
The milk-producing quality of the
French Canadian is its special recon-
menGation
An average yield of 5000 pounds
is regarded as a standard. The
quality of French Canadian milk in
butter fat is good, but not equal to
that of the Jersey or Guernsey In
the Pan-American trials the milk of
this breed averaged 4.O4 per cent. fat
the same as the Red Polled, COM
pared with 4.o8 for the Guernsey, AIS
for the Polled Jersey, and 482 for the
horned Jersey.
Hardness.
The hardy character of the French
Canadian cattle. is one of their strong
features. They have vigorous co1sti-
buttons, we'll adapted to the rigors of
a Canadian winter, and capable of
making good return at the pail with
most economical expenditure of food,
thriving, it is said, where other cattle
would starve The claim has been
made by Canadian breeders that cattle
of this breed are not affected with
tuberculosis as commonly as other cat
tie. They should be suited to the
more northern section of the United
States.
Grazing Qualities.
The grazing qualities Of French
Canadians rank very high, and the
cows are said to yield large returns Of
milk on pasture alone On poor pas
lures or hill farms they are better
suited to thrive than the larger breeds.
Breeding Qualities.
The early maturing qualities of the
French Canadian are secondary. This
is largely due to the limited food and
rigorous conditions Of keeping. More
abundant food and better. care would
improve the breed in this respect. X

color. A rich yello70 secretion is most
characteristic of the Guernsey, breed
ers laying much emphasis on it in the
scale of points. The color of skin,
as shown generally, and especially i'll
the cars, about the udder or scrotum,
and at the end of tail, is very deep
yellow. The udder of the Guernsey
is larger and shows more fore-udder
development and longer teats than
does the Jersey, though not material
ly differing in quality. In general
quality cattle of this breed show very
mellow, thin elastic skins, moderately
fine hair, frequently heavy shoulders
and have somewhat larger and coarser
limbs than the Jersey. The tempera
ment is superior, the males perhaps be-
ing hardly as nervous and irritable as
are Jersey bulls, although the dairy
temperament is characteristic with
each sex.
The size of the GUERNSEY most &C
ceptable to the American Guernsey
Cattle Club is about 1900 pounds for
a bull four years old or over, and
1850 pounds for a COW of the same
age and class, these being the score
card standards.
Quantity of Milk.
The quantity of milk produced by
the Guernsey may be very considera-
BILE. The cows are retentive mixers
and produce rather freely. In general,
a yield Of 5000 pounds a year should
be easily averaged in herd. About
twenty cows of this breed are reported
as producing 10000 or more pounds
of milk year
As Producer of Butter.
The Guernsey as butter producer
is entitled to special Distinction In
numerous tests at experiment stations,
on farms under official supervision,
and in public competition, the breed
has attained very high honors.
Guernsey milk is usually of higher
natural yellow color than that of any
other breed equally common, due to
its butter-fat content. The fat globules
are large and have a deeper yellow
than even the Jersey.
Yearly butter herd records of
Guernsey furnish important testimony.
In 1896, 80 cows and heifers of L. p
Morton of New York, averaged 313
pounds of butter, and IS COWS in 1893
averaged 514 pounds. The entire
herd of Ezra Kitchener of Pennsyl
vania, for ten years has averaged 325
pounds per head

In color the cattle are in
var;ably black, with a white band Of
varying width about the body, in front
of the hips, rarely reaching the should
ers. Sometimes this band narrows
to even foot in width or less, and
again other specimens have it as wide
blanket. The forepart Of the udder
of the COW is also often white In
ndder conformation and development
these cows are rather inferior, the size
being comparatively small, the fore
11dder abbreviated, and the teats placed
too closely together
Importance.
The dairy Importance of the Dutch
Belted cattle is its principal value, aside
from the ornamental. There is but
little on record concerning the merits
of the breed as whole, although ex-
teraai indications would not Justify
high praise. :
As Beef Producer.
The Dutch Belted as beef producers
can hardly be regarded as superior to
the ,'airy breeds, and no doubt will not
compare favorably with the Holstein
Friesian X
Adaptability.
The general adaptibility of the
Dutch Belted is quite comparable with
the Dutch type, bred to thrive on
abundant food under. rather favorable
conditions.
