.KNELL OF OLD STYLE PAIL
Farmers Who Apply Intelligence and
Scientific Methods to Their Ven
tures-Prove Merit.

A wonderful system of ventilation
has been devised for dairies, and its
general adoption by all farmers who
apply intelligence and scientific meth
ods to their ventures proves it's merit.
But pure air alone Is not sufficient for
the COW barn. No dust must be per-
mitted to accumulate, the barns
should be kept in perfect sanitary
form, and the animal must be subject
ed to frequent cleaning operations.
Scientists have sounded the hnell of
the old-fashioned milk pail with its
faring edges. The small-topped pail
is in favor. 1t offers less of an open
Ing for bacteria that may fall into the
milk during the process of milking.
Some bacteria invariably are found
in milk. The laboratory shows, how
ever, that these germs are beneficial
rather than injurious to the human
consumers. But the presence Of bac-
teria directly traceable to filth and in
sanitary conditions is at once source
OF danger and signal for medical
warfare on the undesirable dairy.
Keep the COW stable as neat and
as clean as the Kitchen" is the slogan
of the most progressive dairymen
They are in the ascendancy. The
careless, old-fashioned dairyman sees
plainly the handwriting on the wall.

killed, was left unvisited, though the
flies were on the dead birds just be-

REAL FOUNTAIN OF PUNCH
Provided by a British officer In 1894
for the Entertainment of Six
Thousand Guests.

Some of the papers have recently
devoted attention to the origin OF
punch, that famous seventeenth cen
tury drink which has long lost its
popularity in this country, though il
still survives to some extent in Eu-
rope.
Owing to its intimate connection
with rum one might easily have ina.
gined that punch originated in the
West indies. In fact, however, II
actually came from the East Indies
and the name is said to be derived
from the Sanskrit "panscha," five, on
account of its five ngredients-arrak
tafterwafd rum), tea, sugar, lemon
and hot water.
The most magnificent bowl Of punch
the world has ever seen was probably
that provided by the Right Hon. Ed.
ward Russell, who, when commanding
the British forces in the Mediterran.
can in 1894. entertained 5000 guests
at Alicante, where a large marble
fountain was filled with the liquor,
the ingredients being:
Four hogsheads of brandy, a pipe
of Malaga wine, $500 lemons, 20 gal
Ions of lime Juice, hogsheads of wa
ter, pounds Of grated nutmegs In
weight, 300 toasted biscuits and 13
hundredweight of fine white sugar.

to be used In the manufacture of

The .orangewood harvest Is some

of the Michillinda site many of the
choicest building lots now afford q

LIVE STOCK
JJ NOTES

Lice will make the best hog poor.
Hogs eat the food from which other
animals will get no good.
Burlap over the stable windows
helps to keep out the flies.
Stock should not be allowed to
drink surface or pond water.
A growing pig needs plenty Of room,
but for fattening small quarters are
best.
Horses should be carefully worked,
especially when the weather is hot
and sultry.
The best time to cut the tails, as
well as castrate, is when the lamb is
week old.
Extra feed increases the growth Of
proper kind, and makes larger ami
mails at maturity.
If case of lump jaw develops in
the herd this summer 1t should be at
tended to at once.
Skimp your sheep on good pasture
and they will skimp you on mutton.
Works both ways.
1t often takes number Of genera
tions to thoroughly change the dispo-
sition from timidity to quietuds.
Middlings is very good feed for
swine, but 1t should not form the en-
tire grain portion Of their ration.
Sheep are comfort lovers, and the
man who neglects to provide them
with good, dry shelter makes a costly
error.
Good sheep require good care to
maintain their excellence Poor sheep
are always burden upon the rest of
the hock.
Some people claim that hog is a
scavenger by nature, but he certainly
thrives better on clean feed and de-
cent surroundings.
Indigestion is the cause of more
than half the diseases of horses. and
largely caused by improper food and
working horses on full stomach.

Clinton N. Howard Opens Pro-
hibitiOn Convention
With a Savage Attack on Both
the Old Parties.
NO HOPE FROM ROOSEVELT
He Says the Chicago COnven-
ton Got It's Cue
From the Colonel When It
Stole His Delegates.

Atlantic City, N. J., July 10.-A sem
sational attack upon President Taft
Colonel theodore Roosevelt and the
Republican and Democratic parties
marked the beginning today of the
eleventh national Prohibition conven-
tion. Clinton N. Howard of Rochester,
N. Y, temporary chairman. made a
speech that bristled with denunciation
of the "boss-ridden. liquor-controlled
old parties" He declared nothing in
the way of real reform was to be gain
ed from either of them, or from third
party dominated by Colonel Roose-
Welt.
mo other president since the foun-
dation of this government" declared
Howard, ''has surrendered more alb
jectly to the liquor interest of this ma
ton that has William Howard Taft.
His record is too recent. familiar and
odoriferous to require review in this
intelligent presence"
Howard said it would be a criminal
waste of time to argue that the liquor
traffic could be stamped out through
the Republican party by it's silent
platform, its present and unworthy
leadership, it's long consistent liquor
record and its present monopoly nurtur-
ed candidate who obtained his nominal
ton at the hands of a convention,
which Theodore Roosevelt declares rep
resents nothing but successful politi-
cal fraud perpetrated in the interest
of political and financial privilege and
who more than any of his predeces-
sors, has become the wet nurse for the
saloon.
And what better results can be ex-
pected from the Democratic party? Not
only as little but less than nothing at
all.
Exactly the same influences that
poisoned the Republican party at Chi
cago were in control at Baltimore.

NONE BUT TAFT men.
Will Go on the Republican Party
Electoral Ticket.

Washington, July 10.-President
Taft will take no chances on electoral
tickets nominated in states carried by
Colonel Roosevelt in the primaries.
Nor will he permit organizations con-
trolled by Roosevelt men to conduct
his campaign in such states.
A Taft electoral ticket in every state
will be presented to the voters and
each state will have a Taft Republican
organization. The program of the
president in that direction was agreed
upon at conference at the White
House. Mr.. Taft'S decision was the re-
suit of a proposition submitted to him
by Henry G. Wasson, chairman of the
Republican state committee in Penn
sylvania. The Republican convention
in Pennsylvania was controlled by the
friends of Colonel Roosevelt by an
overwhelming majority. 1t named an
electoral ticket of Roosevelt men and
elected WaSSon, follower of the COLO
mel, state chairman. Since the Chicago
convention Wasson has declared that
in order to be regular he would SUP
port Taft and Sherman. But the
Roosevelt electoral candidates have
refused to say that they would vote
for Taft.
Wasson proposed that the electoral
candidates be placed in two columns
on. the ballot. If Taft receives the
largest number of votes the electors
were to vote for him and if Roosevelt
received the largest number he was to
receive their support. Mr.. Taft fatty
refused to even entertain such a prop
osition. He stated that he would see
that the electoral ticket was made up
of Taft Republicans. He also inform
ed Wasson that his campaign in Penn
sylvania would be conducted not by
the Republican organization there, but
by an organization of Taft Republicans
to be selected by him later.
The decision of the president rela-
tive to Pennsylvania means that in
every state in which Roosevelt men
were nominated for electors separate
ticket of Taft Republicans will be
pIaoed on the ballot.

TO VOTE THURSDAY.
Senator Lorimer's Fate Soon Will Be
Decided.

Washington, July 1O.-When the
senate took up the Lorimer case to-
day it was indicated that all speeches
except Senator Lorimer's would be
concluded and that vote would be
reached tomorrow. Senator Johnston
of Alabama opened today's session.
He conceded a popular demand for
Lorimer's unseating and said he
knew he would be on the unpopular
side in supporting the Illinois man.
Senator Johnson condemned as "un-
Christian and unAmerican," Col. Roose
yeIt's course in declining to sit with
Senator Lorimer at the Hamilton club
dinner at Chicago. Senator Jones of
Washington. who opposed Lorimer at
the first trial but who supports him
now, said he had changed his convic-
tions because he had personally heard
the witnesses against Lorimer.
He complained of public clamor in
the case and charged it was having
too much influence in determining the
votes of senators. This statement
aroused Senator VIM. Alden Smith of
Michigan, who confessed to irritation
over what he characterized as "cov-
ert and insinuating intimatiOns in the
press in support of Mr.. Lorimer that
those in opposition lack honesty and
courage and are subject to influence
by public clamOr.
