Pure Bred Dairy Cattle Pay.

1t is interesting to note that during
the year ending March 10, 1914, the
dairy farmers of Wisconsin bought
1000 pure bred Jerseys, 500 Brown
Swiss. $500 Guernseys and ZIG Hol-
stems. The dairy farmers Of Wiscon-
sin are breeders as well as dairymen.
They recognize the superiority Of the
pure bred COW as an economical pro-
Queer, and furthermore they realize
the profit through the growing Of pure
bred males and females TO supply the
ever increasing demand for such ami
mails in other states. The farmers of
the west are annually paying to the
farmers of Wisconsin thousands upon
thousands of dollars for pure bred
stock. Wisconsin farmers realize two
profits-one from the sale Of milk and
cream and the other derived from the
sale OF superior milk producing ami
mails

Of the texture. The most common
causes of this defect are-frst, subject
ing the cream or the butter to improp-
er temperatures; second, overchurning
the butter either in the buttermilkF or
in the wash water; third, overworking
the butter. Occasionally butter having
brittle grain is also found. This con-
dition may be caused by churning at
so low a temperature that the butter
comes in too hard granules to admit Of
proper working. This seldom occurs.
however. unless the cream is too thin
and cold and the churning small.
Besides the defects named there are
others generally associated with defec-
tive grain. For instance. an oily, dis
agreeable favor often characterizes
such butter. and If the raw material
the cream or milk. is tainted such
faint is usually intensified OF brought
out more prominently by overworking
the butter: hence the aim should be to
produce butter having a perfect grain
To this end the following should be
observed: First. the cream should be
subjected for not less than four hours
to a temperature sufficiently low TO
harden the fat globules before IL is
churned: second. the churning should
sbe completed IN about forty-ive min
utes with firm clean cut granules OF
the size Of wheat kernels: third. the
temperature Of the wash water should
be about the same as the temperature
Of the buttermilk: fourth, only suffi-
cient working should be given the but
ter 20 distribute the salt properly and
to make the butter Of uniform con-
sistency: 9th. great changes in the
temperature OF the butter should be
prevented throughout the entire proc
ess OF manufacture.

The far famed baby parade" of AS

mer resorts has a serious competitor
this year in similar institution which
constitutes one of the novel attrac-
tons of the Ringing Brothers circus
coming to this city in a few days.
The circus "baby parade" however
is vastly different from the famous at
traction of the summer resorts, mas
much as it is made up entirely of ba-
bies from the big menagerie. Never
before has the Ringing zoo boasted OF
SO many youngsters as during the
present season. There are exactly
thirty little shavers" in this depart
ment of the circus whose ages are
still figured in months instead of
years, and each and every one of
these appears In the baby parade"
which is feature of the street parade
held on the morning of show day.
These miniature citizens of Jungle
land include two baby CRATES. known
as the "rubber-neck twins" four lion
cubs, five tiger whelps, two infant
camels, five baby elephants, number
of baby seals and sea lions, some re-
bra colts, and number of babies be-
longing to the various branches of
the deer family.
The principal feature of the circus
this season Is the new spectacle, Sol
ONION and the Queen of Sheba, with its
wonderful settings and costumes, pro-
duced at a cost of 100000. This
spectacle requires a cast of 1880
characters and a ballet of 300 girls.

may think strange of me but l have

done it by honesty and fair dealing

When George tells you he will do a

it. He is one man who will stand

Gen. Wilder is a republican, served
several years as pension agent for
this territory, and was for many years
an active leader in the republican par
ty. While Gen. Wilder is really a

road commissioner, and w. G. Sadler,
Independent candidate for the same
office, live. Senator WEIGH was in the
city yesterday.
Il am republican in politics and
am for Hooper, but l am also for
George Welch. The republicans have
no republican candidate and we must
choose between the democrats. The
Office of railroad commissioner is
business Office and should not be con-
troIled by petty politics. l know Mr..

we let politics run it you can rest as

BALLET GIRLS
HAVE OWN TRAIN

Three hundred dancing girls!
From whence do they come and how
does the circus manager accommodate
them? Do they like to travel, and
how many of them are suffragists?
These are some of the questions which
people ask regarding the bevy of fem
ininity that compose the ballet in this
seasons new spectacle of Solomon
and the Queen of Sheba which with its
cast of 1880 people is the most pic
turesque feature Of Ringing Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows.
How the circus accommodates
them" is not difficult problem to a
management which moves, boards and
lodges a total of 1870 people during
period of approximately 200 days of
travel. The young ladies have din
ing tent of their own, a separate train
of Pullmans and they are guardianied
by Mrs. George Hartzell, wardrobe
mistress of Ringing Brothers circus
for dozen years and who is known
throughout the land of spangles as
"the little mother of the circus" The
girls have library, gymnasium and
showers on their train. They attend
rehearsal each morning under the di-
rection of Ottokar Bartik, ballet mas
ter of the Metropolitan Opera House;
appear in the big spectacle for mat
ter of twenty minutes in the afternoon
and again in the evening The rest of
the day belongs to their whims car
ried out under the chaperonage of
Mrs. Hartzell. Mostly they go sight
seeing" in The afternoon directly after
their costumes are changed for street
clothes. They visit from thirty to
forty states and the Dominion of Cana
da during a season and their kodaks
snap the most interesting points in
their travels.
These girls are among the cleverest
of all ballet dancers. They come from
the Metropolitan of New York and the
biggest theatres of Europe. For in
the summer these houses are closed
and have no use for their ballets.
Ringing Brothers pay them well, give
them an entire summers engagement
and chance to travel without that
disadvantage which most tourists
p,uOt face kha h,,x,i,,n. - ,.o;I....l a..
kets and the paying of hotel bills.
Lastly. there are no suffragists among
them. They are too young and too
full of the JOY of kodaking and sight
seeing to think of politics. They are
a happy lot and artists to their toe

U. S. OFFICERS
SEARCH FOR
BANDITS. At
VERA CRUZ

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 27.-The
cooperation of the American author
titles In Vera Cruz was sought today
by the commander OF the Mexican
federAl outposts. who asked for aid
in capturing four desperadoes who
have been marauding at Md county
between the American and Mexican
lines.
Lieutenant Izieunza, commander of
the federals at the gap in the rail-
way. sent list of fourteen names,
said to be those of the men who es-
after the landing Of the American
troops at Vera Cruz.
The Mexican officer asked for the
arrest of the men and suggested they
be held in We Cruz or turned loose
at the gap. He told the American
authorities he would promptly hang
the marauders to the nearest tele-
graph pole. The men accused are
said to form part of band number
ing thirty. who recently murdered
and mutilated woman in a lonely
cabin in front of the American lines
and alsomurdered the owner of
Spanish ranch within the lines. Col.
Izieunza said he caught and lynched
thirteen OF the men two days ago
hut others had slipped through his
fingers and entered the American
linee with the milk and vegetable
sellers. They are said to have hid
den their arms before going into
Vera Cruz.
