Bulletin 24, of the Department at
Agriculture, treating of dairy educa
tion in California says:
In striking contrast with California's
characteristic energy in advancing the
interests of many of her industries'In
every possible way, the one method
of promoting dairying, which In other
states is considered of the greatest im
poTtance, has thus far been neglected
The state Is doing nothing In the line
of special dairy instruction, and her
dairy interests are suffering In conse
quence. The reason may be that this
branch of agriculture has not until
recently become one of the important
industries of the state, and those hav
ing power to assist in Its promotion
have not yet realized its great possi
bilities. Efforts to establish a state
dairy school have been made, but
without success. It was a subject of
discussion at the dairymen's conven
tion. and its friends will continue to
agitate It, hoping that a school will
be opened In the near future. The
neeersity for such a school is readily
seen. In the past few years there
have been many improvements and
changes in dairy operations, and the
improvements and changes still con
tinue. Butter and cheese makers who
now follow comparatively recent but
really out-of-date methods are work
ing at a great disadvantage. New
forms of machinery are constantly be
ing introduced, methods of manufac
ture are being perfected, market re
quirements are becoming more strict,
and competition is growing more keen.
Special instruction in dairying is of
fered at more or less well-equipped
schools in thirty-one states. California
is the only one in which the Industry
is at all prominent that is not on the
list. The need of a dairy school In
California is very apparent. The an
nual reports of the state board of
trade show the Importance of the
dairy industry as compared to others.
The value of California dairy products
is equal to two-thirds the value of her
gold output, and far exceeds the value
of any other mineral product. The
dairy products are worth almost half
as much as the wheat crop and about
half as much as the combined crops of
all kinds of fruit. The receipts from
sale3 of butter, cheese, cream, and milk
amount to nearly double the annual
expenditures for the support of the
public schools. According to the last
census California ranks in dairying with
other states as follows: Seventeenth
in total number of cows seventeenth
in total butter product ninth in total
cheese product. Yet thirty-one states
are ahead of her in encouraging and
promoting dairying by offering spe
cial dairy instruction. It is seen that
the dairy interests of many of them
are smaller than those of California,
both in toto and in comparison with
other industries.
Horses for Europe.
The German trade does not require
either an impossible or an ideal horse,
suited to all purposes but it does de
mand good horses of every kind, thor
oughly prepared for their special work.
A horse to bring a remunerative price,
either for home or foreign service, must
fill a distinct place, i. e., he must be
a good one of his kind, whether he be
a cavalry horse, a draft horse, a car
riage horse, a trotter, a hunter, a polo
pony or what kind soever. The stan
dard by which good horses are judged
is practically the same on both conti
nents. A good horse in America is a
good horse in Europe provided he fills
a distinct want in the business of the
country. In Europe horses pull carts,
cabs, omnibuses, coaches, trams,
plows, etc., and carry men on their
backs. Thus they need horses of all
breeds, for no one breed can possibly
fill all of these requirements satisfac
torily.
Great Britain—Ninety per cent of all
horses shipped to this country are
draft horses, about 7 per cent are
high-class coachers, and 3 per cent
trotting and light carriage horses.
Germany—Ninety-five per cent of all
the horses shipped to Hamburg are
draft horses, weighing 1,500 pounds or
upward, the other 5 per cent being
made up of high-class carriage, run
ning, and trotting horses. Most of the
latter are reshipped to Austria.
France—About 85 per cent of the
horses exported to this country are
what are termed cabbers. The other
15 per cent are about equally divided
between draft horses and trotters.
Belgium—About 2 per cent of those
sent to Antwerp are trotting or light
buggy horses, 23 per cent street car
horses, weighing 1,200 pounds, and 75
per cent draft horses, weighing 1,600
pounds and upward.
Bread In* a Dairy Bard.
(Condensed from Farmers' Review Sten
ographic Report of Wisconsin Dairymen's
Convention.)
G. P. Goodrich read a paper on
breeding a dairy herd. He told of hit
attempts to get good cows by buying,
but finally had to go to breeding and
developing his own cows. He had ob
tained very good results from feeding
grain to his cows when on pasture.
The yield one year went up to 800
pounds per cow, although there were a'
number of two and three year old heif-'
ers in the herd. He also feeds silage.'
Q.—Was your Improvement in the
T' herd due to breeding or feeding?
%,{ Mr. Goodrich—I think that It was
due to both.
Mr. Goodrich—Corn meal and bran
the reason for that is that there Is
enough protein In pasture grass.
Q.—Do you think that you can form
a good opinion of the value of a dairy
coir by purchasing her and taking her
away from her old surroundings, and
putting her into new and strange con-*
dltiona?
Mr. Goodrich—That depends on the
kind of surroundings she has had if
she has been owned by some progress
ive man that has kept her under ideal
conditions she might not do well in
her new quarters, but if she is taken
from ordinary conditions into my
place she will be so well satisfied in a
few days that she will do her best
Q.—Do you think that It W prudent
to feed a breeding cow corn meal?
Mr. Goodrich—That depends on what
the rest of the ration is. If she is get
ting timothy hay and corn stalks and
silage I would say not, but if she is
getting clover or alfalfa you can bal
ance it by feeding some corn meal. I
never feed clear corn meal.
C|.—How is oat meal?
Mr. Goodrich—Oat meal is a good
feed.
Q.—What about gluten feed?
Mr. Goodrich—I think it is all right.
Q.—If you find that a cow is getting
fat do you continue to give her corn
meal?
Mr. Good rich—I do not I give her
niorp of the protein feeds.
Q.—In feeding gluten feed, have you
ever had trouble with the udder get
ting hard?
Mr. Goodrich—No, sir and we have
fed as high as five pounds of gluten
feed per day.
Q.—How much wheat bran is it safe
to feed?
Mr. Goodrich—I do not think that
you are likely to feed enough bran to
do any damage.
Trichinosis.
The parasite that causes this disease
is called trichina spiralis. It infests
the flesh of several animals, especially
the hog. From the hog it is sometimes
transferred to man, causing severe
sickness and not infrequently death.
Trichina is found in pork both in
America and Europe, and Its presence
has been made a pretext by which
somo foreign nations keep out Ameri
can pork. Most of the pork inspection
at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Is
due to the prominence of this ques
tion in the European mind. However,
German pork Is as much infested with
trichina as our own, and it is believed
a little more so.
Trichina inhabits the bodies of ani
mals at all stages of its existence, and
where swine are entirely unable to
get anything but vegetable diet the
danger that they will become infested
with trichina is small. For this reason
it is not safe to permit swine to feed
on the offal of slaughter houses, car
rion, rats, mice and the like. Hogs
so fed become a menace to the health
of the eaters of the pork they produce.'
The trichina is very small, and lives
in minute crysts in the muscles. When
these cysts are eaten by hogs the
juices of the stomach set loose the
imprisoned trichinae which escape into
the intestines where they pair and
the females bring forth numerous
brood of larvae, which find their way
to the muscles, where they In turn be
come encysted. The hog himself does
not appear to suffer from the presence
of these parasites, and they can there
fore be discovered only by a micro
scopic examination of the pork. It is
said that no remedy has been discov
ered that will destroy the trichinae
after they have become encysted in the
muscles. When pork Infested -with
trichinae is eaten by man the thou
sands of cysts are operated on by the
juices of his stomach. The parasites
are let loose and proceed to his In
testines where they pair and breed.
Their progeny begin a march through
the walls of his Intestines to his
muscles, and induce symptoms similar
to typhoid fever. If the man can en
dure the horrible pain of the migration
of the parasites from his intestines to
his muscles he will live. The trichinae
will form cysts there and give no fur
ther trouble, but will remain with him
through the rest of his life.
Animal Husbandry In Tennessee,
The cost of feeding the dairy cow or
the beef animal in Tennessee will vary
from 10 to 20 cents per day. In one
case we may expect two to three gal
lons of milk, worth 20 to 25 cents a
gallon, and one and a half to two
pounds of butter, worth 20 to 25 cents
a pound while in the other, from one
and a half to two and a half pounds of
beef will be an approximate 'gain.
These figures should suffice to con
vince
UB
of the money in these indus­
tries. A suitable ration for It dairy
cow would be 30 pounds of silage, 10
pounds of cowpea or clover hay, S
pounds of corn meal, 2 pounds of cot
ton seed meal, and 5 pounds of bran.
For young growing stock, we may
use silage, 20 to 30 pounds cowpea or
clover hay, 10 .pounds cotton seed
meal, 1 pound bran, 1 pound corn
meal, 2 pounds. Or if the farmer has
oats, these may be substituted for
cotton seed meal. It may be necessary
to increase the meal ration to six
pounds, depending on the amount of
growth or fat »desired and the age bit'
the anlmaL Where silage can not tie
had, shredded corn fodder may be sub
stituted.
For beef production the following ira
.tlon will answer when the animals are
to b$ put on the market within four
months, and where winter feeding is
pursued: Silage, SO pounds cowpea or
etover hay,10 to 16 pounds corn meal,
6 toJ8 pounds cotton seed meal, a to
pounds. Oats and' bran may be su$*
stltuted for cotton seed meal, it these
food stuSs are cheaper and are at
hand. In place of sllage,shredded corn
fodder mar. be used tor beef nroduc-
Ponltry Motes.
The man that wants to raise broli
ers for market must be laying his
plans as early as this, for he wants
to fill and start his Incubators In the
fall, at a time of year when it is most
difficult to get fresh eggs. Consequent
ly at this time of year he must be
pushing the growth of his best chick*
so they will begin to lay by October.
Meat meal should be fed as extensive
ly as possible to get the development
Wherever well-developed chicks can be
bought at a reasonable figure It should^
be done. Here and there may be
gathered up the
Some poultrymen express the belief
that there is more money in geese than
in any other class of farm poultry.
They consider that the risk of loss
with geese is smaller than with ducks,
turkeys or chickens. It is claimed
that the goose Is a larger consumer of
grass than the duck and can be there
fore raised at '.ess expense. Goslings
grow very rapidly and when fattened
usually bring better prices per pound
than ducks. One poultry raiser asserts
that old geese are the hardiest and
least liable to sickness of any of our
feathered stock. For shelter almost
anything will do except in the coldest
weather in the more northern part of
the country. In the winter their web
bed feet act as snow-shoes and they
are rtbt therefore frightened at the
snow. Add to this the fact that geese
produce eggs at profit whgn quite old
and we see that much is said in her
favor.

Not every amateur can successfully
raise broilers for market. It is the
work of the specialist Unless one
thoroughly understands the business
he is not likely to make a success of
It. One should not embark any large
amount of capital In it without con
siderable experience on the part of the
man that is to control the enterprise.
The best way for a man to get this
preparation is for him to have had
eight or' ten years experience with
poultry generally. Then he should
each year raise for the market as
many broilers as possible. In produc
ing eggs we can depend to a consid
erable extent on natural conditions.
But In the case of broilers artificial'
means must be employed^ which means
that new elements are introduced and
new experiences are required.
Kind of Horses Wanted In England.
The United States government has
been trying to find out the kind of
horses the English desire, with the
following results:
In London the tramways, bus com
panies, jobmasters and owners of light
delivery wagons are large purchasers
of American horses. Horses for their
use must be from 15 1-8 to 16 hands
high, weigh from .1,200 to 1,350 pounds,!
be compactly built, with plenty of
bone and muscle and good action, and
average from 5 to 7 years of age.
They should measure from 76* to 78
inches in girth, and from 8% to 9%
inches around the leg just below the
knee. Such horses will sell from $170
to $185, and sometimes as high. as
¥200. Large bus horses for suburban
work, 5 to 8 years old, 16 hands high,
weighing 1,600 to 1,700 pounds, with
a girth of 88 inches, bring from $185
to $225, and exceptional native horses
sell as high as $400. The "trotting
vanner," a synonym for useful light
delivery wagon horse, 16 to 16% hands,
78-inch at girtlrand 7% inches around
the leg just below the knee, sells for
$125 to $150. Carriage horses, 90 inches
at girth and 9% inches around the leg
just below the knee, with good knee
action and well bred, will, if well
matched, bring from $750 to $1,500 per
pair. For heavy draft horses the de
mand is always brisk, and Clydesdale
and Shire horses are reported In de
mand. Solid, stocky, 16Vs-hand, 1,750
pound horses, free from blemish, 5
to 7 years old, 10 to 10% inches around
the leg just below the knee, and 98 to
100 inches girth, bring from $250 to
$375. Misfits, Bcrubs and badly broken
horses will not do but a young, good,
sound, well-broken horse with plenty
of bone and muscle, compactly built,
of almost any recognized class or type
will sell well in'the London market.
Properly Hatched Chicks.—When an
incubator is used be sure and see that
the chicks are properly hatched.
Poorly-hatched chicks are of little
value, and you never know whether
they are going to live or die. The
good hatch nfiay be obtained by paying
attention to every detail. The tem
perature must not be too high nor too
low the tfupply of moisture muat be
right and the amount of ventilation
must not be too graat Miscalcula
tions in these regards will result in
weak chicks that cannot be developed
at a profit.

years old. The old Indians date all
events from the battle of San Pasqual,
in 1846. At that time his sons were
men. High above the valley upon
overlooking hills Lachapa heard the
thunder of the heavy guns and the
sharp crack of rifles, and the next day
saw the dead men. There were many.
The Spaniards told him to fight the

six years ago. He was re-elected in
1869, but retired after sixteen years of
service to re-enter the senate in 1887,
since which he has served consecu
tively, and has been re-elected for an
other term, at the conclusion of which
he will have had eighteen years of
consecutive service and twenty-nine
years of actual service, with only one
break. Senator Chandler of New
Hampshire has, been in office since
1887. Senator Sewell of New Jersey
was first elected In 1881, but has not
been consecutively in the senate. Sen
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island has been
a senator since 1881. He succeeded

usually that a senator of long experi

to his constituents than one who is

Bessie Holloway, a thirteen-year-old
school girl, put a big burglar to flight
from her home last night with her
father's big revolver. Her parent was
sick in bed, and she did not wish to dis
turb him, so she tiptoed to the kltctoen,
where she had heard someone' rummag
ing about, and, pointing the revolver
directly at the intruder, said, in a com
manding voice:
"Run!"
In making a precipitate exit, tne
man broke through a window. The.
noise aroused Mr. Holloway, who came,
down stairs, and was greeted! by hi»
child with tne expression:
"Well, maybe he didn't run, though"'
She is a mere child id appearance-,

'seeming to regard it as a matter of
course, the only 'tiling for a dutiful
'daughter to do when her father wa®
sick in bed and ought not to be dis
turbed by any noise or commotion.

«he°said:
"Papa was sick and sleeping oh, so /,
quietly, and I was in his room all
alone, and then I heard somebody,
down stairs, and I knew they* ougto$~
not to be down there, and there had
been so many bad men breaking" into
houses that I thought they had' come
to take our things, and I did not want
papa to be troubled. I took his
pistol on the mantle, and tiptoed' dowtfi
to the dining room in my bare' feet,
and there was a very bdg man peering^
into the pantry.
"There was enough light to tell tbat
he was a very big man, but I drew the
revolver up with both hands, and said,.
'Run!, just as loud as I could, and he
turned and looked at me so quick if
frightened me, but he ran away*

it, for I really did not Virant to-hurt•the-'

Reporter Sent In the Wrong Cardi
An official of the supreme court was
puzzled by a card sent in to him by a
desperate newspaper man Monday,
April SO, when the arguments on the
Kentucky government case began. The
court room was full of sightseers, and
the overflow extended in a long line
down the corridor. The reporter tried
to get in ahead of the line, and was
stopped. He protested.
"Shall these rubbernecks be let in to
monopolize the supreme court room
when I—I, a newspaper man, ordered!
to report the case, am kept out?" he
exclaimed.
"Them's orders," said the ancient
colored ir.an at the door.
Off rushed {he reporter to the court
marshal's office. He yanked out liis
wallet, and, seeing a card in It, wrote
on the back:
"My editor orders me to report the
Kentucky case to-day. Must be ad-
mitttd can't wait for the crowd."
In a moment the answer came back,
and his card with it: "No room."
The reporter looked at the card he
had sent in and blushed. He had by
mistake, given the attendant not his
own, bat the card of a manager of a
troupe of ballet and variety perform
ers.—Washington Letter.
