GOATS MILK BEST
FOR THE CHILDREN
Also a Most Essential Item on
Daily Bill of Fare for Every
Member of Family.

tBy w. SHELDON BULL, Buffalo, N. Y)
With, a couple of hardy and produc-
tive goats, housed in cheap, rough
ly constructed shed, and pastured on
a common, the owner may enjoy great
er advantages from an economic and
hygienic point Of view than does the
proud possessor of pampered, pedl-
greed cow of the most fashionable
breed.
First, because milk, the exclusive
diet of many infants, children and In
valids and a most essential item on
the daily bill of fare Of every mem
Der of the household, is furnished
more cheaply by the goat, as the yield
of milk, when the size of the goat
and the amount of feed and care are
considered is proportionally much
greater than that of the cow.
Second, because goats milk is rich
err. more nutritious, and more easily
d.gested than cows milk. Aside from
It's greater degree of richness, there
is no appreciable difference in appear
ance or taste. And also, because the
mich goat is practically immune to
tuberculosis, while the apparently
healthful and therefore unsupported
cow may be, and often is, dangerously
tubercuious.

Ask Adjustment Of Coal Rates.

Wisconsin paper makers were given
hearing before the railroad commits
sion upon their petition asking for an
adjustment of coal rates in Wisconsin.
Some years ago, after a hearing, the
rates were reduced under group plan
whereby the freight charges on coal
were the same from all ports, that is,
the rate from Milwaukee, Manitowoc,
Green Bay or Superior was the same.
Now the railroads ask that the rates
for distances that are materially short
er than from the more distant ports
be made lower, contending that the
group system as applied to those local
tiles in which the paper mills are is
not reasonable scheme. 1t appeared
from testimony at the hearing that
more than so per cent. of the coal
used in the Fox river valley is shipped
from Milwaukee, Notwithstanding the
fact that the ports of Manitowoc and
Green Bay areNmuch nearer. The rail-
roads contend that the present az
rangement is the best, not only be-
cause it is established but for the rea-
son that any other arrangements
would result in giving causes for COM
plant to particular localities.

and the operator may look for the
queen in the brace of combs where
the bees are quiet.

the loss may be discovered in less
number Of minutes If the bees are for
chilly thrown from the combs. or if
otherwise roughly handled.
You will be likely to find her on one
of the combs that contain unsealed
brood. If you do not find her after
looking two or three times over the
combs, the likelihood is that you will
not find her If you keep on for half an
hour.
But If you close the hive and come
back in half an hour, you may find her
then the first thing.
In favorable circumstances as de-
scribed in the beginning of this article,
and if the operator has been careful
and not scared the queen, she will be
found on the combs, and often she has
not even interrupted her work of lay
ing eggs.
Generally she has retreated from the
light and taken refuge between the
bottom of the comb and the bottom
bar if there is space there, and there
generally is
Then when the operator looks over
the comb, there begins game Of hide
and seek. When the operator looks
for the queen he always turns the
comb and himself so that the sun will
be at his back and strike on the comb.
AS soon as the comb is in that posi-
ton, the queen skips on the opposite
side, remaining near the bottom and
among the bees that are there; for
the bees, as we'll as the queen, have
retreated to the lower part of the
combs, except those that are filling
themselves with honey.
Then when the operator turns the
comb over, the queen skips again on
the other side; not that she cares for
the operator but to get away from the
sun and light.
Some beekeepers, when they desire
to find black queens, take all the
combs out, take the hive and dump it
in front of the entrance, set it back,
and clap an entrance guard over the
now empty hive.
The bees are all shaken off the
combs, and the entrance guard is Gag
erly scrutinized to see when her maj.
esty strikes the obstruction.
l do not know but all things consid.
cred, this is about as quick a way to
find black queens among black bees
as to undertake the very uncertain
and laborious method I have already
described.

William George Bruce, secretary of
the Merchants and Manufacturers as
sociation, who with members of the
Wisconsin state fair board returned
from the Illinois state fair at Spring
field, thinks that the Wisconsin fair
Is a great institution under the cir
cumstances.
Mr.. Bruce said that the Illinois fair
afforded great lesson to the Wiscon-
sin board. The reasons, he insisted,
were instructive, and In summing
them up, said:
"The state fair board is created
along democratic lines, several county
agricultural associations selecting the
members one for each congressional
district and several at large, making
a board of twenty-five. The railroads
maintain a cooperative attitude. They
make special rates and encourage ex-
cursions, insuring good attendance
from the rural districts. The legisla-
ture maintains liberal and helpful
policy.
"The fair excels in it's machinery
and general industrial exhibits. Wis
consin has the better agricultural and
dairy exhibits and its patrons are CIV
en more free entertainment"

CROSS-BRED HORSE
is AN UNCERTAINTY
Various Breeds Have Been Highly
Developed Both in America
and Abroad.
(Rv r q wEATHERsTONE,

(By r. G. WEATHERSTONE.)
Upon the selection of the sire and
dam will depend the question as to
whether the foal will be profitable to
the raiser or not.
The cross bred horse is generally a
chance, never a certainty. Like be-
gets like,-Percherons, Clydesdales,
trotters, thoroughbreds, saddle horses
and ponies, all according to their kind.
The various breeds have been highly
developed, by scientific breeders, both
in America and abroad. What is more
reasonable than to suppose that these
men who have given years of labor
and who have spent much money in
developing the various breeds, should
have arrived at the most profitable
way of raising good horse flesh.
If the farmer visits reputable
breeding establishment in this country
or in Europe he will find that every
effort is made to breed along pure
lines of the breed that is to be first
developed.
So In this way we get the best
specimens of any kind whatsoever.
If you want heavy drafts, and they
are big sellers these days, stick to a
draft breed and never mix the draft
breeds, if possible to avoid it.
If you want Just harness horses
breed the trotters. II you want saddle
horses or park hacks, breed for them
If Won want speed under the saddle,
breed thoroughbreds.

There is no short cut toward finding

and then it is very hard to find a
queen.
A frightened queen will run from

the key to the whole matter.
Open the hive slowly without a

During a honey-fow, with a colony

way is to take the combs out and ex-

Put them in the comb-basket, and

also.
1t is necessary to use as little smoke
as possible SO as to avoid starting the

Always begin at one side, first blow
ing little smoke between the comb
and the wall of the hive, so as to drive
the queen between the combs if she
happens to be against the wall
l then take out only one comb on
that side and begin on the other side,
continuing throughout. The object is
to prevent the queen from being left
on the walls of the hive.
One of the plans is to put the combs
In pairs, having the pairs a little dis

for the needed room.
