COW having udder trouble. [ have a
cow that the year of 1912 she came
fresh with very badly caked bag, al
most solid, in fact. 1t had been in
that state for about a week before she
came fresh. She hardly gave any milk
at all, so bathed the bag with hot
water, with very little results. l
used Watkins Liniment, which is
very good. So. finally, as an expert
ment, l took bicycle pump and
thoroughly cleaned and disinfected it,
and pumped air in her bag with the
use of the pump and a point OF
hyperdermic syringe. You could
hear the air working IN her bag and
in two or two and one half hours the
cake was large portion loose and l
MIXED large quantity of it out.
81 used the pump two or three
times after that and inside OF two or
three days the cake had gone.
81 had the same experience this
year with the same COW, only worse.

fresh she tore her teat so badly it had

the market with some for sale, is in
position to realize we'll on his cattle.
The farmer who is just starting in, or
intends to increase his holdings by
outside purchase can also realize we'll,
providing he buys wisely. Taken as
a general rule, good dairy stock Is
good property inferior stock is dear
at any price. Registered dairy stock
in some of the leading breeds has al
most doubled in value in the last few
years and the end is not yet. At
tendance at any sale of Importance
will show that registered stock, with
good breeding and records back of
the individual animals sells for top
notch prices. 1t may have taken a
rather fertile Imagination few years
back to picture the registered cattle
business as it is today, but those who
we're blessed with that gift of fore
sight are being we'll repaid for their
labors.
Grade dairy COWS are in demand
the country over; the good ones for
dairy purposes, and those that do not
measure up as standard dairy COWS
can be fattened and sold for beef with
very little trouble.
1t has been predicted that beef will
reach war time prices ten years
hence, the logical conclusion is that
dairy stock will follow and the price
of both stock and dairy products will
be just as high.
Farmers who have any inclination
toward dairyng can we'll give the sub
ject serious consideration. Wherever
dairying has been carried on, those
sections have prospered, and besides
making a good living for many in the
past, the dairy cow is bound to do so
in the future if given a fair chance.

Washington. June 6.-Japan's ~
joinder to the United States reply to
her protest against the California anta
alien land law, delivered personally
by Ambassador Chinda to Secretary
Bryan Wednesday sets out why the
Tokyo government continues to re-
gard the Webb law as discriminatory
against Japanese.
. The American secretary and the
Japanese ambassador had an hour
secret and earnest discussion over the
document. At the conclusion OF this
talk Secretary Bryan dispatched the
document Immediately to the presi-
dent.
Japan asserts unequivocally in her
rejoinder that Japan occupies an aoso-
lutely equal position among the nrst
class and leading nations Of the world.
Japan holds that, occupying such
position, the California alien land law.
and the Arizona law constitute an
offense to the pride. dignity and honor
OF the Japanese.
The importance and Significance OF
the Japanese reply is emphasized by
the promptness by which it was hur-
ried by the secretary Of the state I'M
mediately to President Wilson az soon
as he returned from his outing.
The answer of the United States
to Japan asserted three thinE1:
That the treaty OF 1911 was not vio-
lated. @ 5@s .tg
That the evident intention OF the
California alien land law was to &C
commodate itself to the treaty.
That Japan should exhaust all
remedies in the courts before she
could complain Of any abridsement
OF the rights Of Japanese In America
