LESS VIOLENCE

Apparent In Strike on Boston
Elevated.
Boston, June lathe strike on the
Boston Elevated presents one feature
of much interest to the community,
that is, the marked falling off of the
acts of violence and disorder.
AT first strikers and their followers
abused and assaulted some of the
men on the cars. Unthinking and ir.
responsible youths joined in. Public
authorities acted quickly with the
hoodlums, severe jail sentences and
the censure of public opinion putting
an end to their outbreaks

six feet Of heavy rope. This thrown
over the rump does away with the an
noyance of having the tail strike you
In the face. A piece of cord with
small weight at the end tied to the
rope and twisted around the tail makes
the hoop more effective
There is no more effective way of
drying up a cow than leaving a little
milk in her udder. Besides. it pays to
get 1t all, for the last drawn milk con-
tains as high as from 10 to IL per cent
Of fat, while the first has only about 2
per cent
Do not return to the cows to strip
them again. 1t does them no good, but
rather an injury. Just here, lest for
get. do not save the strippings by
themselves to add to the cream can.
They lower the percentage Of fat in
the cream and. If added warm, injure
the quality Of cream and butter.
Quiet Stable Needed.
No rough noise should be allowed in
the dairy stable. Cows like to be kind
ly talked to. and singing has a charm
for them.
Harsh treatment. chilly winds. cold
rains, worrying flies-in fact. anything
that excites. irritates or brings discom-
fOrtito the cow-decreases very mate
rally her profitableness. II cow gets
frightened, nervous or fretful the
nerves in the udder become tense and
refuse to act on the cell structure. and
the milk cannot come. for 1t is not be-
ing made. In such a case try to quiet
the COW by diverting her attention.
Rub her behind the ears. Talk to her.
Get her mind back to her business by
being kind to her.
Sometimes from no apparent cause
a cow holds up her milk persistently.
A heavy weight. such as bag With
sand In 1t. placed over the loins may
relieve the tension.
It Is not we'll to form the habit In
the cows Of eating while being MIXED.
Exposure on cold days or nights re-
suits In a decreased milk dow, gem
eral lack Of thrift and poorly nour-
ished calf. Cows must be kept COM
Portable at all times.
Kicking cows are usually made 30 by
the persons who handle them. Impa-
dence with the timid heifer often re-
suits In kicker. The best device per-
haps for kicker Is to put a ring in

are to tie the hind legs together or to
draw the right hand hind leg slightly

tail bone: also to shear the hind quar-
tiers with pair Of horse clippers and
trim the long hairs from the udder.

Milk In the same place. and there b
no better place. summer or winter,
than q clean stable.
If one has night pasture near the
barn the cows, after being MIXED in
the evening. may be turned into it and
are handy to bring in in the morning.
Cows get accustomed to a mixer, and
It is better for the same person to milk
the same COWS.
A person before entering the stall or
touching the COW should speak to her
In gentle tone, calling her by name.
The mixer should sit close to the cows
right side and first rub the udder with
the hands to stimulate the nerves.
Many mixers milk the right back teat
and the left front teat first, then the
left back teat and the right front teat.
Milking opposite quarters in this man
ner there is no full quarter in the way.
Close the fingers gradually over the
teat, beginning at the top, and press
the teat more against the cushion of
the thumb than into the hollow Of the
hand. If the teats are short the milk
ing has to be done at first with the
thumb and two fingers until there Is
room for the whole hand. When strip
ping press well up into the udder with
the thumb, 50 as to bring the last milk
out Of the milk cistern at the top Of the
teat. Do not pull or press too hard on
the teats. but be sure to get all the
milk there is If you wish to keep up
the milk flow. Thorough milking de-
velops the udder.
If there be any Jumps or soreness in
the teats or bloody. unnatural colored
milk, the milk from those quarters
should not be mixed with the rest
Cause Of Uddsr Trouble.
Much udder trouble Is caused by bad
mixers bruising the teats or udder,
thus causing Inflammation and more
danger of losing teat than from gar
get.
Never use a wooden milk pail. as the
milk gets into the pores Of the wood
and the pail soon becomes foul. Use
hooded pals.
To keep the COW from switching her
tail during milking nothing is SO con-
venient as a hoop made from five to

PREDICTING "HOT
TINE" AT CHICAGO
Colonel, Following Confer
ence at Oyster Bay, Again
Invades New Jersey.

HOBoKEN, N. j., May N.--Re-
freshed by quiet Sunday at oyster
Bay. where he did nothing but hold a
conference and make further plans for
his fight before the national commit
tee In Chicago, Col. Roosevelt today be-
gan his last days campaigning through
New Jersey in the triangular battle
for delegates between him, President
Taft and Senator LaFollette. The ex-
President left here at 9:45 o'clock for
Morristown over the Delaware. Lacka-
wanna and Western Railway.
Colonel Roosevelt motored to Hobo
ken from Oyster Boy, arriving here
just a few minutes before time for his
train to leave. The ex-President was
In a cheerful frame OF mind. and was
as full Of energy as though he had not
spent three of the most strenuous days
Of his strenuous career in the fight In
this State.
The colonel was prepared to con-
tinue his speech making on the same
lines as last week, hitting at bossism
and declaring in favor OF "the right
of the people to rule"
Following his Sagamore Hlll con-
ference with Senator Dixon, head OF
the national Roosevelt bureau, yester-
day the colonel let II be known through
his friends today that he is sure OF
getting the nomination on the first
ballot at Chicago. There will be the
hottest kind OF a time In Chicago,
his supporters declare IL the National
committee tries to substitute delegates
against whom the Roosevelt faction is
believed to have lodged protests.
Following the first speech of the day
at Morristown at 1880 this morning,
the following other stops were sche-
duled: Dover, Newton, Hackettstown,
Washington, Phillipsburg, Frenchtown.
Jambertville, Flomington, Somerville.
Princeton, Hopewell Pennington, Bay
onne and Hoboken.
At Morristown Mr.. Roosevelt defied
the Republican national committee
While thousands cheered him here he
cried:
1.-THE other day Mr.. Taft said that
the national committee would do him
justice. want the people to do me
Justice; and that illustrates the diff.
ference between us.
IT appeal to the people and not to
the national committee with the ex-
pectation that II will misrepresent the
people. I appeal to the people to con-
troll themselves. Remember the ma.
tional committee was elected. not by
the people. but by the politicians. four
years ago.
mfr. Taft appeals to the national
committee elected by the politicians and
appeal to the people in this year
Now. this is your fight. have come
here to ask that you stand by your
selves We are making a fight FOR YOU
to rule, for your right to rule ana for
yo,r duty to rule"
