Modern Dairylng for
Man Of Small Means.
BY George p. Grout.

+ !. :. :. :. :. !. :. !. :. :. X j. !. :. !. !.
When going into the dairy business
with a small amount of money, it is
important that results be obtained at
once, in order that living may be
made from the start 1t is not an easy
matter to outline a policy that will
bring success from the start, no mat
ter what occupation one may select:
and it is harder to figure with certain
ty in a business which depends so
much upon the weather and upon the
health of stock than it is in many
other lines of work. When one is
starting in the dairy business l woulI
advise the selection of ten or hfts Ell
good COWS. regardless of color or
breed; and if they can be purchased
when just ready to freshen, SO much
the better. My experience would lead
me to steer clear of young heifers, and
to select COWS four or five years old,
that have had one or two live calves.
For practical use, and to make sure
of your weekly income, give due con-
sideration to cows of deep body and
apparently good constitution. Too
much importance cannot be attached
to this point. This does not mean
that, in order to get hardy stock, you
must select beef COW, but that you
should select deep bodied animals,
having good heart girth. After select
q found ot herd no viz onnA
big middles, with ability to eat large
amount of roughage, see that the COWS
have tendency towards milk produc
ton rather than towards beef.
Your cows should be purchased from
herds free from abortion. They
should also be tested for tuberculosis,
and none accepted that are not free
therefrOm. When these things are
done, you have taken the first step in
building up successful dairy.
The matter of feed is of next con-
sideratiOn. Cows that are about to
freshen should be in moderately good
condition, for two very good reasons,
if not more. First, because they are
more certain to pass through the calv-
ing period in good shape, when in mod
crate condition, and second because
they will make much better record
during their period of lactation. Flu
ture success depends much upon the
feeding, care and management of the
herd; but, as space will not permit of
cur dwelling on these topics, it is
suggested that the reader write for
Bulletins Nos. 10 and IL of the Exten-
sion Division, University Farm, St.
Paul.

scientific feeding. From my experF
ence there are many cows, now cor
sidered very poor, that might nave
made very creditable showing had
they been given proper care and fed
judiciously In no other one thing
have the farmers of our state fallen
farther short of meeting their posi-
bilities than in this line. Proper care,
and good feeding from calfhood, will
do wonders for almost any animal

WATERING THE FLOCK.
One Method of Caring for Chickens
That Is Successful.

That Is Successful.
Pure, clean, fresh water should be
supplied daily. When we. consider
that major part of the hens body is
liquid, and that her product, the egg,
contains C5 per cent of water. the
necessity of good drinking water is
evident. The water supplied affects
the quality of the egg quite as much
as the grain given. If the flock must
seek their feed and water in the barn
yard, the quality of the eggs will not
be No. 1. Not only so, but the heath
of the flock will be impaired.
A good drinking vessel for summer
is an earthen crock, holding about
six or eight quarts. This is easily
cleaned, end by thoroughly scaldirg
three or tour times week can be
kept in sanitary condition. A crock
can be used in winter also, but a gal
vanized pan of about the SAFE ca
pacity is preferable. This should be
placed on a box or table, about two
feet above the floor, to avoid dirt and
litter To keep the water from freez-
ing on cold days, a jug filled with cot
water, tightly corked, placed in the
crock or pan, will keep the water at
about the right temperature to be rel
ished by Biddy. The water should net
be too hot, nor should the hens be Cola
PEELED to drink icy water. Both ex-
tremes should be avoided The use
of the jug of hot water during the
day and careful emptying of both
vessel and jug at night after the hens
go to roost, and renewal each day,
will give satisfactory water supply.

few of them make any secret of
their alarm. Just as things were
going nicely and it was thought that
conditions were such as to make it
almost certain that LaFollette had
at least an even chance in this state.
the Roosevelt talk was sprung and
there was a cessation of the Wiscon-
sin mans boom. One thing that may
account for this is the disappoint-
ment at not having had LaFollette
within the state before Christmas
as had been planned. Had the big
demonstration planned been given
there is little doubt but what a wave
of enthusiasm would nave swept
over the entire statecat that time.

Now it is said that Senator Clapp
is more inclined towards Roosevelt
than toward LaFollette and the
speech of Clapp made two years ago
is recalled. At that time he said:
There will be- but one Candidate
presented, Theodore Roosevelt"
And some of the progressives are a
trifie afraid that the senator has been
playing possum with them i'm this
matter. w. i. Nolan, the leader of
the LaFollette progressives, has re-
signed his position at the head of
the state organization, not a propiti-
Gus sign of the times.

The fear of the progressives in this
state is that if Roosevelt enters the
field he will divide the progressive
strength. Many of them are frank
in saying that they do not believe
the Colonel could secure the nomina-
ton, protesting to believe that a
change has come about i'm the senti- |

Newspapers Once A Year

Newspapers Once A Year
There exist several journals
that make their appearance
only once a year. These are
published within the confines
of the north polar circle.
The Eskimo Bulletin, for ex-
ample, is edited near Cape
Prince of Wales on Boring
Strait.
Here in a village inhabited
by E5kimos, the English mis-
sionaries have established a
school, and as only one steamer
lands at this place, and that
only once a year. the news that
| it brings is consigned to a sheet
of paper printed with the MINI
eograph.
Its size is 8x12 inches. The
paper is very thick and only
one surface is used.
This Eskimo Bulletin in a
subhead claims to be the "only
yearly paper" This, however,
is an error, for there is an
annual sheet published in God
|thaab, Greenland, where a
printing office was established
in 1862, whence news sheets
lithograpic prints have been
issued.
The journal in question is en-
titled Ttnagagdlintit, narling-
inarmik Tusaruminassumik
that is, Something for read
ing; accounts of all sorts of
Entertaining Subjects" The
language is that of Greenland,
a dialect of the Eskimos. New
