The breeding OF dairy cattle is a
matter surrounded with numerous
difficulties, rendered all the more I'M
certain and tantalizing from the ar
tificial conditions In which the cat.
tie are reared.
Some Of our highest producing dairy
cows have been developed along milk.
producing lines until they are in real
ity an unnatural deformity.
Every well-bred COW that is kept on
the farm by the very law Of its being
is ready and able to assist in giving
additional value to all crops grown Oh
the farm II we only surround her
with the right conditions.
Buying cows and selling them as
fast as they stop giving milk will
never build up herd of high-produc-
ing dairy cows.
The calf from the moment of its
birth should be kept in thrifty grow
ing condition. Letting an animal run
down is a great and permanent loss,
1t Is something lost forever that no
amount Of after care or feeding can
regain.
> When the calves are playful it is
an indication Of thrift and health.
1t is essential that we attend to the
comfort and bodily ease of our cows.

REFINED PROCESS
OF FRUIT GROWING
Where Market Demands Fancy
Article Bagging Grapes Will
Prove Profitable.
CBy Il. VAN BENTHUYsEN.)

Bagging grapes Is one OF the more
refined processes of fruit growing
that everv man should test for him.
self There are various conditions to
be considered upon which It's profit.
ableness depends
Does your market demand fancy
article and Is 1t willing to pay for IT?
Do you suffer much loss from the
birds? In some districts they are very
destructive and scarecrows are not
of much avail Rot, too. Is to be
considered though some growers as
serts that bags are not preventive Of
this disease.
II grapes are bagged at the proper
time. which Is soon after blooming.
they certainly will not rot unless the
canes are already full OF rot spores,
and after the vineyard has once been
thoroughly cleared of the infection
1t should not be again easily affected
II the fruit Is kept covered.
Bagging does not appear to be re.
sorted to throughout the West. but in
the East with its higherprjced mar.
kets, some growers find it profitable
to bag their entire crop. The com
mon paper bag in use at the grocery is
usually employed. In the twopound
size.
A thousand bags should not cost
more than Is cents. The usual way is
to fasten them with common pin.
Do not pin them around the stem
Of the bunch, but over the cane from
which cluster descends. The edges
Of the bag should be folded down and
them pinned securely so az to exclude
the rain as well as the insects.
II this be done carefully, only an In
significant number OF bags will be
lost during the rest Of the season.
Women. with their trained fingers. are
the best for this work. when they can
be obtained. A skillful hand will pin
on thousand bags day.
Another great advantage In bagging
Is that 1t IL one of the best ways to
preserve the grape In It's ripe condi-
ton. Many varieties will remain
fresh and sound until frost, and even
then be cut Off. laid away in a cool
place and kept still longer. They
have been kept until Christmas.
The red varieties seem to be the
thinnest skinned and most liable to
crack ant to puncture, The white
kinds are OF all the least molested by
birds. which seem to think they are
not ripe. The blacks are the first to
be attacked.

j. S. GOVERNMENT
REFUSES REQUEST
Munitions Sale to Warning Ma
tionS Defended.
AUSTRIAN NOTE is ANSWERED
Reply to Teuton's Request Uphols
Right to Deal in Arms-No Bar
on hipments-Policy Old
as the Republic.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE reply Of
the United States to the note of Aus.
tria-Hungary, refusing to stop the ex-
portation Of arms and munitions to
the enemies of that nation as request
ed in representations June 30, was
made public here on Sunday.
Among the reasons for its refusal
the United States gave the following:
To refuse the sale of implements of
war to belligerents fould force mill
tarism on the world and work against
universal peace-which is the desire
and purpose of all nations which exalt
justice and righteousness with one
another.
The principle of equalization, urged
by Austria-Hungary, should apply to
belligerents superior on land as well
as sea. thus imposing on neutral ma
tons a duty to sit In judgment on the
progress Of war.
During the Boer war, the Crimean
war and the Balkan war arms and am
munition were sold to belligerents by
both Germany and Austria-Hungary.
The policy Of the United States
has been to permit the sale of war
supplies to belligerents so that this
nation, which in times Of peace main
tains no large military establishment,
may have access to markets Of other
nations for the purchase of war equip
ment when attacked by foreign
power.

The location Of the battle indicates
that the Germans are trying desper-
ately to assist their northern armies

from the sea. but the Russian de-
fensive action appears able to foil
such move.
