And the Taft delegations from

Out Of this defiant and unyielding
attitude of the old guard has been
born a new partyl-a party of the

people, and party which is to this
period what the Republican party
was to the period of 1860.
This new party is not the sudden
caprice of the moment, not the result
of disappointment and bitterness. 1t
Is merely the amalgamation and

forces that have for years been
struggling to the surface against tre-

was arranged whose carrying out

four main facts:
THAT a Roosevelt majority Gre

fraud
2-That no man recognizing this
fraud could afford to accept a nomi-
nation at the hands Of convention
thus controlled.
3That Colonel Roosevelt-before
any vote on candidates is taken and
confirming the roll as prepared by
the National Committee and per-
fected by the credentials commit
tee-will serve notice on the conven-
ton that he will not accept a nomi-
nation in which the so-called tainted
roll has any part.
4-That Colonel Roosevelt is still
candidate before the people for the
campaign from today to November.

Bloat in Cattle.

Bloating is very common
trouble among cattle in the spring
and summer. 1t is caused by
the animals eating large quanti-
ties of green food, which fer
ments, and often proves fatal if
not properly attended to. Alfal-
ia is especially conductive to
bloating when covered with dew.
The symptoms of bloating are
familiar to t h e experienced
farmer. One or more of the cat
tie act restless, and move from
one place to another, as if in
pain. The breathing is labored
and rapid, and in a short time
the characteristic distension of
the abdomen is noted. In acute
cases, death may ensue in from
ten to thirty minutes from suffo-
cation or apopleXy.
Prompt treatment is usually
necessary, and often the animal
dies before a veterinarian can be
summoned. To be prepared for
such emergencies should be the
aim of every stock owner.
Treatment consists in stopping
the fermentation and formation
of gas. All sorts of medicinal
agents are used. Common bak-
ing Soda tablespoonful to a
pint of water, or three or four
tablespoonful turpentine in a
pint of water, given as a drench,

Keeping Cream Sweet.

AS the warm season comes on,
the difficulty of keeping cream
sweet on the farm becomes great
er. The rancher is busy putting
IN his crop and is liable to neglect
taking his cream to market as
often as he should, consequently
the cream in not in good condi-
ton when it reaches the cream
cry or ice cream factory. Many
times the rancher is also negli-
gent in the care of the cream
when he is busy in the field.
Then too, the cream requires
extra good care in the warm sea-
son. High temperature promotes
the growth of germs in the cream
which in turn causes the souring.
There are two main factors to
consider in keeping cream sweet.
The first Is cleanliness the other
is low temperature. To these
might be added a third, which
also plays some part in the sour
ing, namely, the per cent of but
ter fat in the cream.
When filth gets into milk or
cream, there are innumerable
germs introduced, which if left
to develop at proper temperature
multiply very rapidly. The less
hlth in the cream, the longer it
will remain sweet. This empha-
sizes. the need of absolute clean
illness in the handling of milk
and cream.
Low temperatures tend to
check the development of the
germs and thus retard the sour
ing OF the cream. 1t is important
that the cream be cooled down at
once after it comes from the sep
arator. At any rate. the morn
ing cream should always be cool
ed before being added to the
cream of the evening previous.
The richness of the cream has
an effect upon the souring.
Cream with high per cent of
butter fat does not sour so quick
ly as thin cream. The souring
of cream is caused by the action
of germs on the milk sugar.
Where there is a high per cent
Of fat, there is necessarily a
lower per cent of other constitu-
ents. The action of the germs is
that of changing the milk sugar
TO Tactic acid. Where there is
less milk sugar, there will be a
Jess amount of acid developed
and thus the souring is checked
for a lack of milk sugar. The
separator should be set to sepa-
rate a cream containing about 35
per cent of butter fat. In some
instances it may be desirable to
have as high as so per cent of
butter fat in the cream. How
ever, such cream is difficult to
pour from the. can. This is es-
pecially true, however, in the
