To weigh cows milk daily Is one
OF the best methods known to keep
tab ON her condition. according TO j.
W. Ridgway. professor OF dairy hus-
bandry at the A. 4 NJ. College. There
are many advantages in keeping n
daily record by weighing a cows
milk. OF course the owner. whether
he has big herd or just one or two
cows. can tell what use COW Is max.
lng OF her feed. whether she Is max
ing her way or whether she is just
a boarder. II she Is in poor condition
or on the verge OF a breakdown from
some disease she will show herself
to be In this condition from her milk
flow. The best way to determine
what COW should eat Is to weigh
her milk. Weighing the milk and
making the Bebcock test to determine
the percentage OF butter fat go hand
In hand. By making this practice a
habit. the farmer can tell exactly
what returns his COW is giving him
from the feed she gets.

the male from the flock will not re-

a REAL GOVERNOR.

Under the above caption. the Aus
Elm American publishes strong edi'
torlal commencing the action OF
Governor Whitman In the Becker
case. In fact. Editor Davenport
comes with such force In his com
mendasion that he displays real blood
thirsty propensities which We little
dreamed lurked beneath his placid
exterior, or found Judgment in his
kindly. sympathetic heart. The
American says:
"New York is TO be congratulated
upon It's good fortune In having a
real man for its Governor. The un-
ostentatious. unyielding firmness
which characterized Governor Whit.
mans action in the case OF Becker.
condemned murderer and profession
al CRATER. exhibits that strength of
character and conscientious regard
for the faithful discharge OF official
duty which Is particularly refreshing
and exceedingly encouraging at a
time when a great and increasing
number Of weaklings, possessing
neither the courage. conscience nor
self.respect to resist the importuni-
ties Of emotional mollycoddles In be-
haif Of condemned criminals. occupy
the position Of chief executives in
several States. There are more
States which have been disgraced by
the action Of Governors in pardoning
bloodthirsty criminals than the av.
srage man cares to facknowledge,
while It is far better for all concerned
that the iniquitous record should be
relegated to the background.
1T is hoped that the tribe OF Whit.
man may increase sufficiently to
make possible the retirement OF the
jelly.hsh brand OF executive TO the
congenial society Of professional sob
sisters and maudlIn emotionalists
enamored Of criminal perverts, and
the substitution OF men worthy Of the
name in the important office which
the former has so consistently dis
sraced."
The American should remember
that Governor Whitman was biased
and prejudiced In the Becker case.
Whitman was the prosecuting attor.
ney responsible for Beckers convic.
tion and in his fight to send him to
the electric chair his heart became
90 chilled. 30 hardessti, so steeled
against him that mercy. or even JUS
tice. found no room to enter. The
strongest plea made by Bourke Cock
ran In his argument for q, new trial
for Becker was that they. we're placed
m the position Of having no Governor
90 whom they . could appeal for
clemency because Of his previous
connection with the case-,s
II Il not the purpose OF this article
TO defend Becker. but rather to call
attention to the character OF evidence
that convicted him. The testimony
of gunner who had been promised
immunity II they would "squeal." And
"squeal" they did long and loud that
they might continue to bask in the
sunshine Of freedom. -a
We hardly agree with the Ameri
can In what is says about emotional
nollycoddles." This nor no Other
country has ever been hurt by execu
tive clemency and mercy. Justice Il
always best administered where II Il
largely tempered with mercy. Our
laws and their administering are
based on that higher law. that divine
law which says II Is better that
ninety and nine guilty men should &c
unpublished. rather than one innocent
man should suffer. s~y

One OF the most vital things TO do
where stock has died Of some dis
ease. and especially where there is a
suspicion that the disease In anthax

or to burn II right on the spot where
the animal died. Draw out a little
blood from the COW and place q small
speck Of this blood on a piece OF
glass. With another piece OF glass
make a smear across the glass on
which the blood was placed. Allow
II to dry and then send II TO the vete.
