GREATEST "WEDGWOOD FIND.
Dr. Williamson and the Czar Discover
8ervlce Made For Catherine II.
London, Oct. 10. Dr. Georgo Charles
Williamson, the noted expert on minia
ture paintings, obtained evidence of
tho probable existence of the once fa
mous dinner service made by Joslah
Wedgwood in 1774 for the Empress
Catherine of Russia. The service was
supposed to have been lost. It was
Wedgwood's most famous work.
He got tho czar personally interest
ed, with the result that he caused a
thorough search to be made, and 800 of
tho 1,000 original pieces were found in
a storeroom at tho Peterhof palace.
The Rothchllds.
Tho name of the founder of the
house of Rothchtld was Mayor Am
schel, who, In 1783, made hla appear
anoe In Hanovor barefoot, with a
pack on his shoulders and a bundle ot
rags on his back. Sucessful in trade,
he returned to Frankfort and sot up a
small shop, over which hung the sign
board of a red shield. Hence the
adopted name, Rothschild, or the Rod
Shield.
DAIRY ft
CREAMERY
8ANITARY MILK PAILS.
Most Important Thing ln( Dairy Is
Keeping Dirt Out.
Much the larger proportion of milk
is carried in wide-topped, uncovered
palls from the cow to tho strainer, a
distance of 25 to 100 feet, across a
cowyard, under a hay loft, or past a
manure pile, thus exposing a largo
surface of warm milk, which absorbs
all kinds of undeslrabln odors and
collects dirt and dust.
Galvanized iron Is something used
for milk palls, but it is not best, for
the rough surfaces afford hiding places
for bacteria. Wooden vessels should
not bo used for holding milk, for it is
almost impossible to keep thorn clean.
Besides imparting a metallic flavor to
Double Protection. No Spattering.
milk, rusty tinware is objectionable
because it is impossible to keep It
clean. Good tin is the only practica
ble material for milk vossels, and it
must be kept shiny and bright
The most important thing In pro
ducing milk Is to keep the dirt out.
This can only be done by carefully
grooming the cows and by using a
sanitary pall, two of which are shown
here. There are several types of
these palls, but they all have the same
principle. There Is a cover with a
amall opening, under which is fasten
ed a cheesecloth strainer. The one
with the spout strains the milk as It
enters the pall, and also as it is
poured out. Farm and Home.
Profit from Four Cows.
I started with four cows in the fall
of 1903 to make butter, writes a cor
respondent of the Rural Home. The
cows were on the Jersey and Durham
strain. I rented a posture of 15 acres
about four miles from where I lived.
Every morning and evening, rain or
shlno, I drove to and from tho pas
ture, I fed them bran and mashed
feed. I got from 14 to 16 gallons
from the four cows every day. 1 let
the milk set two days and then skim
med it (by hand). I made from three
to four rolls of butter a week and sold
It at from 40 to 50 cents a roll. I con
tributed to the support ot the house
In this way for two years, and to-day
I have a herd of 12 cows and a bank
account of $150.
Testing Mlik.
In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting tho Holland
plan of combining and hiring men to
visit eaoh herd one day in the month
and test the milk of each cow, thus
giving the owners an Idea of which
cows aro the ones that aro paying
for their keep. This plan is a very
sensible one and should be encour
aged. The cost Is comparatively small,
as the tester boards with the family
whllo ho is doing his work and is car
ried to the next place the day he has
completed his work. This Insures
regularity In the work. In Michigan
this plan has groatly increased the
average production per cow. Wiscon
sin, too, has taken up this matter. It
Is good business and It may become
popular, but some of our dairymen
are hard to turn from the beaten paths
of their fathers. Farmers and Drov

Dairy Notes.
The only luck in dairying results
from good, careful management,
which commences with the calf and
follows along through every operation
oonneotod with the buslnoM.
One of the first things to notice in
a cow stable is cobwobs. They show
that the dairyman is careless and the
webs make a harbor for dost and ob
jectionable bacteria living in dust
Borne otherwise good butter mak
ers fall to got the butter salted even
ly. One reason is that a small amount
of butter loses more salt in proportion
during the working process than a
large ohurnlng.
A little grain helps the cows, even
when pasture is good. Now that hot
weather is affeoting the growth pf
grass not only a little grain, but a lit
tle millet and corn fodder is in order.
Passing of Horned Cattle.
Horned cattle and homed sheep are
rapidly disappearing. Many of the
cattle bred and fed ia the corn belt
aro hornless. Breeds ot this kind are
growing in popularity. Jn the moun
tainoua country and on" the plains wild
cattle needed long horns for the pro
tection of themselves aad their jwrng.
Now, however, with tho plains thick
ly settled and with few wild anfmals
tho cattle do not need horns. Among
the hornless breeds are the Galloway,
Angus, Red Poll and Foiled Short
horns. Polled Jersey and Polled Here
ford are also coming into favor. By
growth of the horns is prevented in
tho young oalf.
Why Small Profits T
The trouble has been In the past
that too many farm on have mado
dairying secondary to other work.
