BRUSH DAIRY cow EACH DAY
Any Animal Suspected of Being in
Bad Health Should Be Removed
From Herd-keep Barn Clean.

The COW should be brushed with a
good stiff brush daily. Any COW sus-
pccted of being in bad health should
be promptly removed from the herd
and the milk rejected. Fresh. palatable
feedstuffs should be fed and feed
should never be changed suddenly.
Water in abundance, easy of access
and always pure, fresh but not too
cold, should be provided at all times.
Salt, too. should always be accessible.
The barn should be kept clean and
the stables whitewashed once or twice
every six months. No dry. dusty feed
should be used Just before milking.
The stables should be cleaned and
aired thoroughly before milking. Ven
tilation and light are absolutely neces-
sary. No strong smelling material
should be left in the stables for any
length of time. NIusty and dirty litter
should never be used.
When the cows are milked the milk
should be removed at once. strained
and aerated Cleanliness is a good
preventive to keep milk from sour
ing at once.

No "smoke Of Battle" Now.

One OF the marked features of the
European conflict that distinguish 1t
from the wars of the past is the alb
seucc Of smoke on the firing line. Ow.
ing to the use of smOkeless powder,
no smoke is made when q rife is dis
charged, while the heaviest artillery
throws OFF nothing more than a thin
mist that is invisible a hundred yards
away and disappears within few sec.
unds after the gun is fired. Only
when shrapncl or a shell cxplodes in
the encmy's line is there anything Wis.
ible in ihc way Of smoke, the whole
purpose being to conceal the position
OF the guns throwing the prOiectilcs
while making the points where the
projectiles explode clearly visible. The
expression, the smoke of battle" so
faithfully descriptive Of the wars ol
the past. has little meaning when ap'
piled TO modern war.-Popular Me

$50 SHINES A GOOD DEED
Thoughtful Act of Busy Man Led An
other to Emulate His Work
of Kindness.

He was a brisk, ell.groomed young
man, who looked as if he were hur-
rying to keep a date with Fortune.
He had crossed the green grass and
goldenroddy place by the big hotel
near Union station. and had jumped
the tiny ditch that is going to be a
gutter some day, when he noticed an
old whitley gray horse standing by
what will be the curb.
The detected patience of the poor
creature must have appealed to the
young man, for he sprinted back to
the green grass, pulled a bunch of it
and slipped II into Whitley gray's
mouth.
Old Mr. Horse munched his treat
with a sudden interest in life that ex-
pressed itself in the flicker of its pal
lid ears and the general bracing up
that means courage.
And a man who had come out OF
the big hotel in time to catch the in.
cident also went over to the green
grass pulled bunch and slipped it
into Whitley gray's mouth.

The cream should be kept in as
nearly a sweet condition as possible
until enough has been gathered for a
churning. This should then be soured
or ripened. To ripen the cream warm
it to a temperature of rs to so degrees,
until it is sour enough; then cool down
to a temperature of from SIS to 60 de-
grees, which is right for churning.
Let It stand at this temperature for
an hour or SO before churning, il pos
sible. This will cause the butter to
come in better condition. Cream that
is being ripened should be thoroughly
stirred several times before it is ready
for churning.
1t is often advisable to save some of
the buttermilk of one churning to be
used as starter tthe same as yeast
in breadmaking) for the next batch
of cream. Add small amount of
this buttermilk to the sweet cream
when enough has been gathered for a
churning; thoroughly stir il, and it
will ripen very much more rapidly
Care should be exercised to keep this
old buttermilk in as good condition
as possible.
Strain all cream into the churn.
This will remove all clots and parti-
cles of curd, and there will be no dan
ger of white speCks in the butter. Do
not fill the churn over one-third to
one-hGlf full. Give the cream room
for agitation, which insures quick
churning. Turn the churn just fast
enough to give the cream the greatest
amount of agitation.
The butter should be gathered until
the grains become about one-half the
size Of wheat. Then draw off the
buttcrmilk through a strainer and
wash the butter in cold water two or
three times, or until the wash water
is removed practically clear. In wash
ing. care should be exercised not to
bring the grains together in one mass,
but rather keep it in the granular con-
dition. The washing OF the butter
removes the buttermilk and makes the
butter keep for a longer time. 1t also
puts it in better condition for salting
The butter should be taken from
the churn in the granular condition
and the salt sprinkled over it before
it has been worked together. Usually
a scant ounce of salt is added for each
pound of butter.
One working. at the time of salt
ing, is usually sufficient. providing the
butter is hard enough when removed
from the churn. If the butter is
somewhat soft when taken out, it can
be salted and set away 4 few hours
until it gets hard enough to finish
Butter is usually worked enough when
the water has been removed so that it
will bend without breaking. Too much
working will spoil its grain and make
it salvy. while leaving too much wa
ter in it will spoil its keeping quail
ties.
Pack or print the butter as soon
as it has been worked sufficiently and
put it in a cool place until it is taken
to the market. Remember that the
appearance of the package. as well
as the way the butter is packed has
a great deal to do with the selling
price.

ROUGHAGE FOR FARM HORSES
Both Glover and Alfalfa Are Excellent
When Fed uoieiously-Timothy
Is Most Popular.

Like oats, timothy is considered by
many horsemen indispensable to the
best horse rations, but this is by no
means the case. OF the most available
of the hays, timothy is the lowest in
digestible nutrients. Its great popu-
larity as a horse feed is due to the
fact that it is usually brighter and
freer from dust than the other hays,
also it is most relished by the horse.
However, either clover or alfalfa
hays. if fed judiciously, will make good
roughage for farm horses.
Alfalfa has nutritive ration Of
about Ia, that is to say it is very
high in protein, and about as high
in fats and carbohydrates as timo-
thy. Because of it's high protein
content it has slightly laxative ef-
feet, but this may be overcome by
cutting the alfalfa late in the bloom.
Under this condition it makes a most
excellent horse feed for brood mares
and colts, and it can also be fed with
great profit to farm work horses. The
horses relish the hay and hold their
weight. and even gain under steady
work. They also show as much met
tie and vitality as though they were
fed timothy.
Glover is another excellent rough.
age. In fact, many horsemen have
found it more valuable than timothy
hay. 1t has high nutritive value,
and is very palatable. In certain
case a number of horses doing or.
dinary work were maintained on
clover for several years without any
grain allowance. The objections
raised to clover are that it is usually
too dusty. and too rich in protein fol
driving horses.

MAKE BETTER BUTTER

Nearly all butter sold by the farmer
is poorer quality than it should be.
By more careful handling and better
methods there is no reason why this
product should not only be improved
in quality. but better price should
be received for it. By carrying out
the following conditions and methods
very much better grade of butter
should be produced:

Cannot Change Legislative Enact
nent in Civil Service Bill.
Denver.-Tbe right of the Legisla.
ture to attach the safety clause with
out restriction and thereby enact
measures in form to prevent their
reference to the people was argued
in brief filed in the Supreme Court
by the attorney general. The brief
is in answer to the contentious of
counsel for the Civil Service Reform
League, which is attempting to com.
pei a submission to the referendum
OF the amended civil service law
passed by the Legislature last winter.
In connection with the attempted
referendum it has developed that, re-
gardless of the outcome of the pres
ent litigation, civil service will be an
issue at the general election in No
vember, 1916. AT that time the peo-
pie will pass on the question of in
cooperating civil service in the state
constitution through a new amend
ment, thereby removing from the Gen
eral Assembly the right to change the
merit system through statutory acts.
When the petition to refer the civil
service bill was circulated the Civil
Service Reform League also circulated
petition for n civil service constitu-
tional amendment 1t is now in the
hands of the league, with some IT,
signatures attached. An additional
5000 or G,0OO names must be obtained
before il is filed.
The chief argument made in support
of the Legislatures exclusive right to
suspend the operation of the referen-
DUN is that the courts, as constituting
one coordinate branch of the govern
ment, are forbidden by the constitu-
tion itself from interfering with an
other co ordinate branch. The judici-
ary, legislative and executive, consti'
tute the three coordinate branches.
