However, there are so manor factofB that enter into the growth and * Head ef Swiss Heifer. ..-Vs.. . temperament of a dairy cow that many excellent judges of form and function are deceived by outside ap pearance. The near cow has an individuality of her own and the feeder should be come acquainted with her as soon as possible after she is brought into the herd. The moat of the loss that comes to dairymen is through a lack of knowl edge and a wrong idea of what they are about The feeder should waste very little effort in trying to feed fat into milk, for every such attempt has resulted doubtfully. The amount of fat in the milk is a matter of individuality and breed more than of feed. The low percentage of protein and the high percentage of water in corn ensilage make it necessary while feed ing liberally of ensilage to feed clover or alfalfa hay If we produce an ideal ration. The calf that Is to be a future dairy cow has the right to be well born, with an unquestionably good record as an inheritance. It is the farmer who is making hia bread by the sweat of his brow who cannot afford to make mistakes in breeding up a bunch of inferior cows. The illustration given above gives the head of a brown Swiss heifer that captured the first prise at the Illinois state fair last fall. • ' . ; BUTTER HAS FISHY FLAVOR Cause of This Trouble Attributed to v Presence ef Acid Conditions?

Gypsum makes a good absorbent for fcfltrn floors. ^ Milk quietly, cleanly, quickly. Cowa dislike haste. A good deal depends upon the man behind the cow. It is not possible by any known method to make dirty milk into clean butter. When a man begins to keep records of hia herd it is a goo# long step to ward success. , Do not leave the cows out In any kind of a storm until they are wet or chilled through. Do not allow cows to crowd through narrow doors. Be sure that the ap- proachea to the stable are level and easy. When men begin testing and keep ing records, it Is interesting to see how much better care they give their cows. White specks in butter are little particles of casein. When they appear there is some fault in the cream or milk management Feed is too high to allow unprofit able animals to consume it when pay ing cows can be obtained for the same amount of money. The time is here when thought must be given to the comfort of the cows if their owners expect to sleep with no twinges of conscience. It seems like a good deal pf trouble to strain the cream just before churn ing, but when that is done there will be no white specks in the butter. You like pumpkin pie, do you not? The cows like pumpkins, too. Give them some and see how the color of the milk and butter will deepen.

What causes the fishy flavor in but ter? That is something no one has been able to find out until the govern ment dairy food experts undertook the task. But the government cannot find out all the causes, for there are more than one. However, the main cause seems to be some particular substance produced by the oxidation of one of the combinations of the acid develop ment in the ripening of the cream. In other words, it is caused by a slow, spontaneous, chemical change to which acid is essential and which is favored by the presence of small amounta of oxygen. \ It has been a generally accepted the. ory among buttermakers that v sour cream made the best butter. This idea la reversed by the investigations, which bring forth the conclusion that butter made from sweet cream does not contain the elements that go to make fishy flavor. In all experiments with, butter made in the last three years there has been no trace of fishy flavor in that made from pasteurised sweet cream, churned without the addition of a starter. In butter made from pas teurized cream with starter added, but without any subsequent ripening, there has been no fishy flavor, with one or two doubtful exceptions. On the other hand, many lots of experi mental butter made from well ripened cream developed marked fishl- ness. It is evident, therefore, that there is a direct relation between the acid ity of cream and the development of fishy flavor in the butter. However, as the work progressed it became ap parent that the acidity, although hav ing a determining Influence on fishy flavor, was not the sole cause. With this factor controlling It was impossible to make butter with any certainty that it would become fishy. Frequently butter made from cream with a high acidity showed no trace of : this flavor. It was found that overworking the butter increased the tendency to fishi- ness, and this flavor could be pro duced with reasonable certainty by overworking high-acid butter. All but ter contains considerable quantities of air, and this is increased by the working, thus producing conditions more favorable to oxidation. Fishy flavor may be prevented with certainty, says Mr. Rogers, the gov ernment expert, by making butter from pasteurized cream, without ripen ing. The addition of a starter to pas teurized sweet cream without subse quent ripening improves the flavor of the fresh butter without adding enough acid to cause fishiness. Pasteurization of sour cream will not prevent the development of fishy flavor;* ^ Feeding for Butter^ To make attractive butter the farm er must feed good, clean grain and hay or other feed product. No moldy or rotten stuff should be used with dairy cows, writes A. E. Reed in Amer ican Agriculturist Stables can be clean, light and dry. The right kind of cows should be kept By this I mean animals that will give good, rich milk that will make a well-col ored, hard butter. A cow whose milk makes white or soft butter will put the output from a herd off grade. A farmer cannot make first-class but ler from a cow that fives poor milk. DEVELOPMENT IN TEN YEARS Decade Has Seen One of Astonishing . •i|>wess:fOr Railroads ef tl»|^ •• Country. * s - : . During the past ten years there has been an increase of about 44,000 miles of trackage in operation on United States raii roads, from 184,648 to 228,- 285 miles. This does not include sec ondary and auxiliary trackage, yard tracks and sidings, in which the in crease shows a considerably greater percentage. Including all such tracks the total has increased from 245,000 miles to 328,000 miles. More than 750,000 frieght cars and about 20,000 locomotives have been added tb the equipment. This does not represent the number built or purchased. It rep resents the increase in total. The in crease in passenger cars has been about 10,000. With thist increase in numbers there has been an increase In capacity, to the hauling power of lo comotives, and in the size and capa city of cars. In addition to this new stations have been erected, grades low ered, curves reduced, steel bridges put In place of wooden structures and im provements made in safety devices. The public is now served "better than ever before, while there has been de crease, rather than increase, in the charge for the service. Passenger revenues were 1286,870.- 490 in 1898 and $585,246,576 in 1908. Freight revenues were 1876,727,719 in 1898 and $1,560,989,952 In 1908. Rev enues a passenger mile were 1.973 cents in 1898, 2.04 in 1907 and 1.95 In 1908. Freight revenues a ton a mile were .753 cents in 1898, 0.782 in 1907. and 0.765 in 1908. A recent report suomitted by the Bureau of Railway News and Statis tics (Chicago) shows that during ten years the wages of engineers have In creased 17.81 per cent, the wages of firemen 39.9 per cent; the wages of conductors, 20.2 per cent., and the pay of other trainmen 33.68 per cent. There have been similar advances In other branches of the service, and la bor, as well as in cost of supplies, ma terials and equipment IS CHOSEN StAYA UNANIMOUS!. TED PRESIDENT OP NICARAGUA.

ROADS UNDER WEAyy EXPENSE Last Few Years Have Seen immense Adyancc In the Cost of Operating Railroad .Lines, '/ r The 'e&st of many I mportant artfctea of supply used by the railroads has increased more than 100 per cent, de clares a writer in Freight. Fuel for locomotives constitutes about 11 per cent, of the cost of railroad oper ation. Owing to the increased price of coal during the last ten years, which in some states has amounted to as much as 56 per cent, it is asserted that for one dollar spent for locomo tive fuel In 1897 for each $17.25 of gross receipts the ratio has declined in 1907 to one dollar for locomotive fuel for each $12.93 of gross receipts. The expense of taxation Is shown to have Increased from $235.36 a mile of line in 1897, to $353.09 a mile of line In 1907, over 50 per cent The cost of regulation, both state and national which is classified akin to taxation, has also added greatly to the expense of the carriers. A conservative computation dis closes that the costs due to increases in expenses or reduction in revenue imposed by statutes or by commis sions acting under federal or state regulatory laws cost the railroads of the united States approximately $100,- 000,000 per annum. Cured Shorthorn of Tricks. "My father," said an old railroader, "was on the Illinois Central for many years in the earlier days of that road. They had more exciting times in those days than now, for we have all the safety appliances that can be brought into use. while then it was the old fashioned link coupling and hand brakes.- In Illinois, in the earlier days for an engineer to kill a bead of live stock was looked upon as worse than to kill a man, and as the roads were not fenced, engineers had a hard time of it. My father used to say that some cattle just knew how engineers were afraid of them and took delight la getting on the track, compelling the train to halt He used to tell of a stocky Bhorthorn bull that every time a train came along would get On the track and remain there until chased off by the fireman. He became known the whole length of the road. At last he got to be so ugly that the firemen were afraid of him. Father concluded he would get rid of his annoyance, so be procured one of the old fashioned pepper box revolvers, and the next time his bullshlp got On the track, ran his train close up to him and jumping from the engine ran forward, fired at the bull head-on. The bull stood for a minute or two as if dazed, and then with a loud bellow started off across the prairie, and, so far as the Illinois Central was concerned, was m*w seen or heard of after ward." Managua, Nicaragua.--Dr. Jose Mad rid, former judge of the Central Amer ican court of justice at Gartago, anil Zelaya's candidate, was Monday elect ed president of Nicaragua by the unanimous vote of congress. The session was a stormy One, but there seemed to be perfect unanimity with regard to the election of Madrix, and when the official announcement was made there were vociferouh cheering and crles of "Viva Madriz!"< "Viva Leon!" "Down with monopo lies!" "Down with tyranny!" "Long live the constitution!" ; i , Dr. Madriz will assume the presi dency. He was escorted to the bal cony of his hotel, where he greeted great crowds that had gathered around the building, and made a brief speech, urging harmony and co operation. He pledged that he would uphold the fights pf the citizens, granting free election and establish ing a policy Of equal opportunities for all. It is known both to Zelaya and Mad- ri* that Gen. Estrada, the leader of the revolutionists, who are ready to do battle with the government forces at Rama, is strongly opposed to the new president for it is well under stood that Estrada himself has ambi tions to fill the presidential chair. The hope is cherished, however, that Dr. Madriz in his new executive capacity, will be able to smooth out many of the rough places and bring about such an amicable condition among the people themselves that he will not be compelled to withdraw from office. / 1 Washington. -- Secretary of State Knox let it be known Monday that the attitude of this government to ward Nicaragua would not be changed by the election of Madriz to the pres idency as the successor of Zelaya. Madriz will have to show that he is capable of directing a responsible gov ernment which is prepared to make reparation for the wrongs which it is claimed have been done to American citizens in the little Central American republic. It was announced at the state de partment that the attitude of the United States toward Madrii would be just as it was outlined in the note which Secretary Knox directed to Minister Rodriguez, Nlcaraguan charge in this city. This country still maintains that until a responsible government Is set Xip and Is in entire control of the situ ation, so that definite negotiations may be held, diplomatic relations can not be resumed. "Peace in this country can only be assured by the complete exclusion* of Zelaya and his followers. We will con tinue fighting until this is secured. In the name of liberty, of justice on our side, we ask you to recognize my gov ernment" This is the determination of Gen. Estrada, head of the revolutionary army in Nicaragua, expressed in a. telegram to the secretary of state.
