TRAVELLING REPUBLIC OF 1s4o
AND ITS SORROWFUL ENDING

pealed to the supreme court, that au-
gust body upheld the right of those
holding official positions to ride and
rest and sleep.
| Thus, this amazing aggregation
drifted along for days and weeks, far
up the Platte, sighting and skirting
Pixies Peak and entering upon the
mountain passes which led to the
Great Basin. Probably nothing so ri
diculous in the way of an expedition
ever had existence in the United
States. The humor of the thing help
ed to keep it alive
Soon after passing Fort Laramie,
however. affairs came to a crisis.
President Watkins, although an aris-
tocrat by birth. recognized the just
ness of the complaints of the common
citizens and, sought to have the obnox-
ious special-privilege law repealed.
This, the legislature refused to do.
The common people, thereupon, :leld
convention and adopted formal ordi-
nance Of secession, thus disrupting the
Republic and leaving the office-holders
with their offices, but minus anyone to
govern.
Following this open rupture, COM
promise was reached whereby the
property of the Republic was appor--
toned among the members, or the va
rious small groups which had been
formed, and the expedition scattered,
each group for itself.
The historian records that many
weeks later, at beginning of winter
almost at the base of the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, solitary, greasy,
bearded, unwashed individual was en-
countered on the trail by one of the
many parties pushing on to the gold
fields. At first the man was thought
to be Mexican brigand, but he soon

cultured language, as Captain Wat
kins. late president of the Tennessee

travellers along the way.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Cow Should Have Large Middle and
Strong Constitutlon-ReaI Good
Sires Are Rare Thing.

CBy PROF. w. ]. KENNEDY. Iowa Sta
tion.)
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester The COW is machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and strong con-
stitution to insure the best results.
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an.
gular In appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in APP
pearance; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol-
low the use of mature sire which has
sired heifers with good records. A
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact, as long as he is sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only Of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t is the COW
that stays by her job that is really val
liable.

Feeding Raw Beet Pulp.

Our leading dairymen have silos ana
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
a feeding of hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
ent prices. The best wheat feeds, glu-
ten and cottonseed meal, are the prin-
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beet
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking IL cows told me
few days ago that since he COM
menced feeding this with the same
amount of grain, his cows had gained
a little over 40-quart can Of milk per
day, says writer In an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton IN car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to feed per COW twice day.

rs The form which good dairy cattle

There are four main centers. Of activi

from above results from the narrow
projecting wethers which form the
apex of the wedge and the large bar

wedge viewed from in front is made
by the narrowness of the COW in

wedges the more closely the animal
conforms to the dairy type.
