Dairy Notes
Non-partisanship should exist in ■ ir
jreat public in titutions. espi iully
siuh institution as tin- agricultural
boards und the commissions for the
protection of tin people against im-
pure foods. Even it the head of the
ommission must be a politician the
experts that make up the working force
should not be removed because they
happen to belong to the party in pow-
er. By adopting a non-partisan' i ourse
only can good work be obtained. In
our great state universities, such as
the University of Illinois, partisanship
has long since been abolished. It was
found that constant overturnings of
the staff of any university meant non-
progress in the work of the institu-
tion. Our dairy and food commissions
should bo on as firm a basis. The
! men that per ist in Introducing parti-
san politics luto such places arc lab-
oring against the public good.
An English scientist that has had
much lo do with the tuberculin test
says: Our opinion is that if th< ani-
mal has i' -acted, then It is decidedly
tuberculosis. At Hanna, where there
were abundant opportunities to' make
experiments with animals which re-
acted and we re in consequence sold to
the butcher, in every case up to the
present which we have tested we have
been able to detect the presence of
tuberculosis. Sometimes, it is true, con-
siderable trouble was taken before the
tubercular deposits could be discovered.
This was the case with two calves, 111
which we were only able to detect a
tuberculous swelling the size of a pea
in a gland above the bowels, this after
hours of search. That such insignifi-
cant traces of the presence of tubercu-
losis may escape even vigilant atten-
tion is not surprising, und this is just
that reason why in some cases the dis-
ease is not detected.
The special brands on creamery but-
ter are discouraged by some large deal-
ers in butter. They say that the
brands are quite generally objected to
by the commission men for business
reasons. If a commission man has as
one of his butter producers a creamery
that makes a specially line grade of
butter he desires to keep him and will
do all he can lo prevent other commis-
sion men from finding out the address
of the said creamery or learning the
kind of butter made by it. Then, too,
if the brand stays on the butter pack-
age the retailer that buys the butter
from the commission man will find out
who is making good butter and thence-
forth try to buy his butter direct. The
commission man therefore protects
himself by scraping off the brand be-
fore the package goes out of his
house. It looks as if the special brand
could be used successfully only when
the creamery sells direct to some re-
tailer.

One branch of the New York su-
preme court has declared unconstitu-
tional the provision of the New York
law that prohibits the sale of milk
preservatives. The agricultural depart-
ment of that state recently brought to
trial a case in which a man was prose-
cuted for selling chemicals to be pi t
into milk for its preservation. The
court in which it was tried ruled the
law unconstltutonal and the case was
appealed to the hgher court, whcli sus-
tained the lower court on the ground
that the law did not specify that the
prohibition was against preservatives
injurious to health. The decisions
show the great difficulty of getting
laws that can be enforced. If the
health provision is inserted then the
courts cannot be convinced that any-
thing is harmful except some active
poison that kills at once. A drug that
is slow death to the consumers will
find defenders among the men that
make money out of its sale, and they
can always find so-called experts to
go into court and swear to its health-
fulness. The only remedy is the right
direction of public sentiment.
To be a successful dairyman a man
must know a good deal about the ef-
fect on the animal system of the ration
he feeds. A one-sided ration is sure to
work injury to the animal at some time
of its career. Unbalanced rations are
frequently the cause of dyspepsia in
animals as well as man. An opinion
seems to prevail that an animal has a
stomach and digestive system so much
superior to that of man that any kind
of food can be consumed without bad
effects. All Investigations show that
this is not the case. A well-balanced
ration is doubtless the nwst healthful
ration. The rations are over-balanced
according 10 the kind of food that is
most abundant in each neighborhood.
In the corn-belt the feeding of corn to
cows becomes often almost a vice, with
the result that the dairy qualities in
the cows are eliminated by the
strengthening of the beef producing
powers. In sections of the country
where timothy is extensively grown
the animals are fed on this so ex-
clusively that indigestion often results.
In regions where clover is the cheapest
food the amount fed is so large as to
result in frequent losses from bloat. A
combination of fcods to make a bal-
anced ration is the thing to be de-
sired, and this cannot be done unless
the cow owner puts some thought and

Wisconsin has awarded a bronze
medal to Prof. S. M Babcock. As
most of our readers know the profes-
sor is the Inventor of the milk test
that bears his name, lie might have
patented his invention and have made
a fortune out of it But he was an
honest man and said that since his
time had been paid for by the public he
would not patent his invention. So he
gave It to the world. The world r -
ognized it a a valuable thing an(l
soon llabco' k mik testers were being
manufactured i y a great many firms
that make dairy supply machinery.
These companies had no patents on
their product because the professor
had made patenting impossible. As
anyone could manufacture the testers
the men that did manufacture them
had to put them on the market at as
low a price as possible, as to put on
a high price would stimulate others to
go inin tlie manufacture. Thus the
people got the full benefit of the in-
vention. From America its popularity
extended around the world. Today
even In Australia and New Zealand
the machine is extensively sold. The
state of Wisconsin determined to re-
ward the professor for the good work
lie had done. Two yea's ago the leg-
islature appointed a committee to pre-
pare a bronze medal for him. They
sent to England for the work, and in
that country it was necessary to man-
ufacture spec ial dies for the making
of the medal, which Is five Inches in
diameter. Recently a notable scene
was enacted ill the state house in Mad-
ison, when the governor, in the pres-
ence of the assembled legislators, pre-
sented the medal to Professor Babcock.
It is a fitting reward for his unselfish
labor and devotion to the cause of
science, especially the science of dairy-
ing.
1'oultry Not®*.
Ffo;n Farmers' Review: There are
ten distinct classes of poultry, over 100
different varieties in these classes (I
do not include either ducks, geese or
turkeys), so any one who desires to
commence in the poultry work can
have quite a number to choose from.
Of course this does not include the
many different mixtures, that in most
cases are mysteries.
If one were to confine themselves to
reading the accounts of one breed they
would soon uecide it was the perfect
breed, a "seek no further" among
poultry, and thus one would become a
one party politician. The better way
is to read all the reliable accounts of
as many different breeds as one cau,
then use your own good judgment. Af-
ter you have decided upon the breed
you deem the best for your purpose
procure the best you know how.
In selecting a breed or variety it Is
advisable to first consider the object
you have in view, and be sure to
have a distinct aim, let it be eggs,
broilers, roasters or stock for breed-
ing; one of these must be your first
object however much the other points
go with it. In neglecting to consider
your object you will make a serious
mistake. Thus if your aim is eggs for
market it would be an egg-laying class
of chicks you should get, one of the
Mediterranean class of fowls. If your
aim is plump broilers or nice roasters
select one of the Asiatic breeds. If you
wish to combine eggs and market
fowls, and tuis combination is perhaps
the most satisfactory for farmers, pro-
vide yourself with one of the varie-
ties of the American class. As to
color of plumage anil shape of comb,
one cau suit their individual taste, for
often this small difference is the only
one between varieties of the sam«
i lass. Bear in mind that a dark plum-
aged bird is generally harder to dress
than the light plumaged ones.
After deciding upon the particular
object put all your energy into that
and make it go, always keep your eyes
and ears open for any improvement of
either your way of feeding or mauag-
| ing. or in your variety of birds. Read,
read all you can of wholesome poultry
I literature, but always use the common
| sense you have on the reading. What
has been one's success will, perhaps,
not be so to you, owing to the differ-
ent surroundings. If you have dis-
covered that a certain feed makes your
chicks do extra well, keep to that feed,
adverse criticism notwithstanding. If
j you have a chance to visit poultry
farms and observe the way in which
j they are fed and cared for, you are
j indeed lucky. Avail yourself of every
opportunity, for often a half-day's ob-
servation is worth several months' ex-
j perience.—Emma Clearw'aters.

The culture of olive6 on the Pacific
slope is increasing with great rapidity
and bids fair to grow to great magni-
[ tude. At present the olives are most-
| ly used in the green state pickled
but in other countries the ripe fruit
j is used for food and is supposed to be
j very nutritious and healthful. The
olive is a comparatively recent fruit
in the United States, for, while it has
: been grown in California since tho
! time of the early mission fathers, it
is only within tne past twenty years
that it has become of commercial im-
portance.
No pruning of fruit trees should be
done without a careful study of the
subject. Pruning Is the operation of
taking off undesirable parts. Training
is directing the growth of succeeding
branches. The idea of correct train-
ing should come before successful
pruning R. II. Price says that no
! one should prune a peach tree without
fully understanding the necessity of
the operation and also what results
such an operation of surgery would
have upon the future growth of the
tree. The best form of top for a given
locality is not an easy thing to decide
upon. There are several factors that
enter into the problem and affect the
growth of trees very materially. Mois-
ture of the soil, fertility, altitude, lati-
tude, aspect and variety snould be
considered in deciding upon the best
form of top. Nearly all the ugly and
poorly formed tops are due to neglect
or to the orchardist trying to trim to
some style wholly uusuiteil to th*
natural habit of the tree

Court Decides for Totals Against
Tallies in Canvassing,
COL. HUGHES IS MAYOR STILL.
Topeka, May 1.—.Judge II a/.en, of
the Shawnee county district eourt,
handed down a decision in the mayor-
alty contest case in which he ordered
the council to canvass the totals of the
returns made by the election ofticers
and issue a certificate of election to
the candidate for mayor which has the
highest number of votes according to
the totals. This is in favor of Albert
Parker, the Democratic candidate.
Col. I. \V. 1". Hughes the Republican,
is now holding the office by virtue of a
certificate awarded by the council on a
canvass of the tallies on the tallj
sheets. According to the totals on the
tally sheets Parker won by 11 votes.
According to a count of th^ tallies on
the sheets, Hughes won by 7 votes.
Parker tiled a mandamus proceeding
to compel the council to issue a cer-
tificate on the totals. Judge IIa/en
held that the totals and not the tallies
should be taken.
The judge denied the injunction to
restrain Hughes from appointing city
officers and he has from now until next
Monday night to make all his appoint-
ments. as the council does not meet
until then. Hut Colonel Hughes does
expect to have to give up the ollice
then. His attorneys will take some
other steps to prevent a certificate
from being issued to Parker.
1'resldcnt Cannot Pledge Congress.
Washington. I). ('.. May 2.—There is
no doubt that Secretary of War Hoot
and the Cuban commission reached an
understanding satisfactory to both
sides. They were also assured that the
object of maintaining naval stations
was much for the protection of Cuba
as the United States, and that the
privilege of intervention to preserve
the peace of the island would be found
very useful by the people down there
in case of internal dissension.
The secretary of war explained to
them that the executive could not
pledge or bind the legislative branch of
the government, but would recommend
liberal tariff concessions in favor of
Cuban products and use its influence
for the adoption of a reciprocity treaty
similar to that during the Harrison
administration.
No Annexation Thought of.
Washington. May Q. The Preside nt,
through the Secretary of war, gave
the Cuban delegation distinct and pos-
itive assurances that there is no inten-
tion on the part of the present admin-
istration to annex the Island of Cuba
unless the rejection of the Piatt reso-
lution should make a new policy nec-
essary. They were told that the sub-
ject had never been contemplated, and
that if it ever was considered the prop-
osition must come from the Cubans,
who would find it difficult to break
into the I'nlon.

Kcfuses to Accept Ills Money llarL
Stop the Chase.
Omaha. Neb., May 2.—An ageut of
the kidnappers has made a proposition
to Edward A. Cudahy to ret iru $*,'1,000
of the money paid for his son's ransom,
demanding in return a withdrawal of
the $25,000 reward and a cessation
jf the search that is being prosecuted,
together with an abandonment <>f the
determination to punish the criminals.
Mr. Cudahy said: So far nt: the
offer is concerned it has been rejected.
I refused absolutely and unqualifiedly
to consider it and am determined to
j prosecute this .search as vigorously as
1 know how. That is what we started
! out to do and I feel as if I would do
and 1 feel as if 1 would follow those
men to the ends of the earth.
"I realize that this means $40,000 to
me and that it a sum that iscerttinly -
an object to any man. no matter what \
may be his means. As I feel about the
matter I would spend my last thou-
sand dollars rather than compromise
with the criminals. I am desirous of
having them punished for what they
have done and to deter any other
daring gang from compelling other
parents to undergo what we have
I undergone.''
Slate Can Sell Leased Land*.
Topeka, May v.—"The cattlemen of
Western Kansas arc mistaken in the
belief that the leases which they hold
' on public school lands prohibit the
state from selling the lands until the

'The fact is the state can 11 the
i lands any time and the sale wipes out
tlie lease. The cattlemen are given
i leases on the public lands with a ^
enure of five years, providing the
state holds the lands that long. Put
if it sells them the leases are can*
celled."
