An other method described and illus trated by the same writer combines cheapness with the "self-feeder" idea. The crib is made of the slat fencing or cribbing as used by the farmers in flu west when i lit ir crops are larger than their crib room. The slatting is made usually in live and six-foot widthsnnd two ties put up, making the combined height from ten to i feet, A tloor of boards is put in and the bottom tier of slutting fastened to the supporting posts live or six inches from the floor boards, which should project two or three feet outside the slatting. The cattle will pick up clean all the feed they will pull out through the space between the boards and slatting. When, no more can be reached by the cattle, the space around the bottom can be filled by the attendant of tlni stock with an iron rod sharpened and bent into a hook at the end. CHANGE IN MILKERS.

T There is a great difference in the ef fect that a change of milkers will have upon different cows. Some cows will (submit perfectly to milking by almost every one who approaches them, but no cow will mill; equally well with all persons. Some cows will dislike, or fear, or bat lie nervously with three out of five persons who try to milk tin in. They w ill often refuse to y ield their milk to any other than t he milk er to w hom t hey arc accustomed. Owners of dairies cannot well over look this preference of the cows for certain milkers. It is a preference that is based on nerves, and neither the cow nor the milker can control it. The cow in perfect nerve accord with the attendant will show her feelings by her actions. She will lay her head against the one whom she likes. When one whom she does not like approaches her, she shows her dislike by stand ing perfectly still, or by turning away her head, or by moving away. The Hollanders and the Jersey isl anders, those masters of dairying, un derstand this characteristic of their cows, and they make much of their knowledge. They accustom their mag nificent cows to personal touch, to the human presence, to the voice, to pet ting and coddling and caressing. The results are seen in the perfect nnimals they produce, the highest types of quality and capacity known in the dairy world. The dairyman should discover the likes and dislikes of his cows as early in their careers as possible. The milk and butter fat they will produce will depend largely upon the milkers he sends to draw iheir milk. The point is that the cow is a nerve machine. She can do her best work only when her nerves are in their normal condi tion. The. milker, whose presence or touch or voice throws her into agita tion, or fear, or anger, will never be able to induce her to produce milk in the largest quantity or of the best , civility. Therefore the hicn-elasi cow I nui: t haver iiiiiki r w It . i .1 auc likes, or she will fall short of her possibilities. , Baicnr Iter Tnlt fnr Cowr. j A publication of the department of I agriculture Kays: "I'rof.

German experiments with beet pulp for cows have also given good results, tho flow of milk being maintained in a satisfactory manner.

Strikers' Attorney Touched Upon Al most Every Phase of Conflict, and ' When He Closed Was Greeted With ! Long Applause. Philadelphia, Krb. 14 The anthra cite coal strike commission, after be ing in public session for more than three months, closed its open hearings yestenlay with an all-day argument by Clarence S. Darrow, in behalf of thi iniuers. The commission will meet in set ret in Washington next Thursday and begin tho consideration of its award. It Is expected that by the end of this month the arbitrators will be ready to make their announcement. If an Increase In wages is determined upon, the increase is to date from the 1st of last November, the commission having decided upon that date on , October 31. Alter tV ""--ion yestor- ' day tho contmisi. ...'id a short con K r r-.ee with the lawyers for the sev- , ernl sides and asked them to hold themselves in readiness in case they are called upon by the commission. Tho crowd that hoard Mr. Darrow speak yesterday was fully as great as that which listened to Mr. Haer and . Mr. Darrow on Thursday. Ho took up tho entire time of both sessions live ami a half hours. He touched on almost every phase of the strike, and when he closed he was greeted with long applause, which Chairman ilray did not suppress. President Mitchell was In court all day. but did not have anything to say to tho commission in parting. Question of Violence, Yesterday Mr. Darrow took up tho question of violence. "You can never have a groat striko excepting hero and there violence is done," ho said, "and so it was In tho coal fields, where 750,000 persons are living very close to life." Ho said Is was no wonder after tho operators had Insolently and cruelly rejected tho requests of tho men, that, there was not more violence among this population, which was re duced to a condition bordering on star vation. Ho paid a tribute to the for eigners in the coal regions, whom ho said were a warm-hearted, emotional, sympathetic, religious people. It comes with poor grace, he said, for tho operators to say that tho Poles and Slavs, whoso labor tho operators have taken for years, could not speak Eng lish, and therefore are not a responsi ble party with whom thoy could make a contract. Ho spoke of the strict ad herence of the operators to the dead letter of the law, and the moral law of of the captains of Industry would re spect their fellow man, the bitter war just ended would not have occurred, and those who lost their lives in that struggle would ho alive today." Conflicts between capital and labor will continue, be said, until these cap tains of industry respect their fellow liieii. It is idle, futile and useless to talk of curing It in anv oilier wav, U said. Mr. Darrow then took up tho n evic tions on the Marklo property, and with language that was extremely strong ho pictured tho eviction or a sick wiTo and of a blind woman 100 years old. "Ynu may roll together all the cruelty and violence committed In tho nnthra cito region," he cuelnimod, "and you cannot equal tho fiendish cruelty of John Marklo when ho turned thoso helpless people into the street simply 1 to satisfy his hellish hate." j Turning to the boycott, Mr. Darrow said there was one Illustrious example, I at least, In tho Cnitod States of tho boycott, and that was In tho Ameri can Kevnlution. "There Is not one spe cific act that is charged to tho mine workers, ho said, hut what was charg ed to the Loyalists whom wo teach our children to love and venerate. "You and may sit hero and Judge men by the dead letter of the law. Wo may say thnt this act Is right and that act Is wrong, but up there sits the living God, and Ho judges tho acts of men by an other standard than ours. Let me say there is the legal side and tho moral side. The boycott is an ancient weapon; it is respectable when the operators use It, but not respecable when we use It." Ho told of the distinction between tho boycott that Is criminal and the boycott that Is within the law, and then spoke of the non-union men. whom he termed "scabs," although he remarked ho did not like the word, but used It because It Is commonly used. These men, he said, have al ways been hated. Sometimes they are good men, often they act from neccs rliy, l;it. the nr" ti .'.iui;,. , 'h lr class. They are men, he continued, who are used by the capitalists to de stroy the rights and aspirations and hopes of the worklngmen. "As a class," he said, "this body of men. as they have In this rase, have always been ready to take the benefits that flow from organized labor and never been willing to fight to obtain It. They have never been ready to face starvation and hunger and abuse In the common cause, aud as a rule the cab is a man who h&g no abiding place on the face of the earth. He is a wandering tramp, ready to be used by anybody who will pay tho price to use him, and when the strike Is over tbe operators let him walk home again, or let tho union send him home. And It cannot be but that he will be de spised, mistrusted, hated and reviled by all men who love liberty and who love their fellow men and who have the point of view of the organized la boring man." Regarding the demand for eight hours a day. Mr. Carrow said: "This Is r.ot a demand to shirk work, as is often claimed to brj the ease. It Is a demand for the right of the individual lo tnve a better life, a fuller life, a completer lif : ar.d tl.i;-, like everything cUe. do pends i'pcn your roint oi view.

Mr. Darrow paid a tribute to the or ganization which had weld, d 1 1T.ooo men, who speak l!i different languages, of all degrees of intelligence, of all de grees of moral character into one homogenous mass, and ho also pii a high tribute to President Michell and his officers for the niamrr in which they h indl l this great army of work men throughout the struggle. In closing ho said: "This contest is one of the important contests that have marked the progress of human liberty since the world began -one lon e point ing one way, another force the other. Every advantage that the human race has won has been at fearful cost. Every contest has been won by strug gle. Some men must die i bat others may live.
