FALL FRESH COWS ARE BEST
If Bull It Confined ana Service Con

to Suit Owner's Wish.
(By W. II. UNDDUWOOD.)
It 1b a well known fact that by far
ft greator number of dairy cows aro
allowed to follow the most natural
courso, and either by lndlitorenco or
Intention, they freshen In the spring.
Tho producer of milk for sale, If ho
lias an ven trade, may want to have
in oven number of fresh cows In
every month of tho year.
If tho bull Is kept confined and serv
ice controlled, this can be regulated
as a rule, although unpleasant lrregu
larltlos In breeding will sometimes oc
cur and stubbornly resist correction.
But, If tho prlmo object Is to pro
duce tho greatest quantity of milk of
the best quality and the greatest prolit

Prize Holsteln Cow.
In a year, evldenco Is overwhelming
that the cows should bo managed so
as to caUe during tho nutumn months.
For lfe reasons, September Is the
beat mojtth In most parts of tho coun
try, for a heifer to drop her first calf
In order to best develop ns a cow.
This almost regardless of the animal
at the first calving.
Calves born In the fall aro made
easily reared and make better cows
than those born In the spring and
summer. It seems needless to rehearso
the stock argument on tho subject,
based on long experlenco of successful
dairymen, but a brief recapitulation
may bo useful.
Tho cow' or heifer calving In tho fall
neods tho most healthy and nutritious
pasturage Juqt, following tho strain
while coming into full flow. Just at
this time, when some falling off Is
likely to occur, the animal Is brought
to the stable and receives good care;
tho winter feeding and the returns
from It may bo depended upon to ex
ceed the midsummer results for any
like period.
At tho stage of milking and gesta
tion, when another dropping off of the
mlk yield may bo looked for, the fresh
pastures induce a fresh cow, lengthen
tho milking season and increase tho
year's total producj.
December and January are good
monthB in -which to control and super
vise the sorvice of a bull. Midsummer
and tho dog days are a good time
for the cow to be dry and proparlng to
calve again.
With fall-fresh cows, tho greatest
and richest product comes at the Bea
con when milk and butter are always
comparatively high in price.
In actual practice four fall-fresh
cows have been found equal to five
which calved in the spring in 12
months' product and at about four
fifths the cost.
MAKE THE SKIMMER SECURE
Scheme for Fastening Cream Separa
tor to Cement Floor Tried and
Found Very Satisfactory.
Hero Is a Rcheme for fastening a
cream separator down on a cement
floor which wo have tried and found
Tery satisfactory. Before putting in
the cement floor, a three-fourths inch
bolt was threaded to the middle, then
put through a hole In a small piece of
scrap Iron, writes Dan Belt of La
Crosse, Kan., in the Farmer's Mall and
Breeze. The bolt and Iron were firm
ly Imbedded in tho fresh cement, leav
ing the threaded end sticking out. Tho
base of tho separator was then firmly
bolted to two piecec of two by four,
Fastening Cream Separator.
and tho machino set directly over the
bolt in tho floor. Then an old disk
from a disk harrow was slipped over
tho bolt bo tho edgo extended out over
the two by four on each side. A nut
was screwed down tightly over tho
disk. In caso the cement floor has al
ready been laid, chisel out a hole
about six Inches square, making It
flaring at the bottom. Then Bet In your
bolt and fill tho hole with a mixture
of equal parts cement and sand.
The Skim Milk Calf.
Feeding and raising the calf on
skim milk la not always an easy prop
osition, but I havo had very good suc
cess. Tho calf stays with the mother
until tho milk is good to use; then it
Is gradually changed to skim milk.
The calf will soon learn to eat alfalfa
hay. By putting a little corn chop in
tho bucket when tho calf Is through
drinking It will soon learn to eat It.
Corn will supply tho fat that Is takon
out of tho milk, writes J, C. Fry In
an exchange. The calf must have ex
ercise and is allowed the freedom of
yard and farm. Wo have the best suc
cess with tho fall and winter calves.
Hay Is bettor for the calf than grass.
Babcock Test.
Tho Babcock test Is tho greatest
and most authentic check that can bo
put upon the cow. It tells without
any question Just what every Individ

VALUE OF BLANKETING COWS
Practice Adopted In Australia Found
to Give Excellent Results Dur
ing Cold Weather.
For somo years past n number of
dairymen In Australia havo adopted
tho practlco of blanketing cows dur
ing wot and cold weather. The ro
suits In every caso aro spoken of as
being highly satisfactory. When cows
nre kept warm tho food they con
sume, Instead of being utilized to
maintain dally heat, Is largely do
voted to tho production of milk, and
In this way the dairyman reallzos a
largo profit on tho very small outlay
required to provldo blankets for his
cattle in cold weather.
Men who havo studied tho subject
closely say that tho effect of covers
on cows is very remarkable. Tho
quiet cowc becomo moro quiet and
contented, while those that aro shy
or nervous have their nerves soothed,
and submit of being handled without
fear. This is no fad of ono or two
men, but has becomo so common
that the manufacturers havo placed
several klndi of blankets as cover
ings on tho markets, with a view of
supplying tho demand that has
arisen.
It is Bald, howovor, that a home
made blanket, mado from old wheat
bags, serves tho purpose as well as
anything. After they havo been worn
for a short tlmo they becomo thor
oughly waterproof.
SAFETY HOLDER FOR BOTTLES
Authorized Person by Use of Key Can
Open Lock and Remove Jar From
Receptacle.
In describing nn invention of G. F.
Barr of Manhattan, N. Y., for holding
milk bottles and other receptacles,
the Scientific American says:
In the present Invention is nn im
proved safety holder for milk bot
tles, jars and tho like receptacles, in
tended to be attached to a suitable
support and to receive and retain a
bottlo against unauthorized removal.
Holder for Bottles.
r
An authorized person, by uso of a
key, can readily open tho lock and
swing tho cover open for removal of
tho receptacle from tho casing, as pic
tured In the perspective vlow of tho
safety holder for a milk bottlo locked
In position In tho holder.
Dairy Calves.
When a holfer calf Is raised for tha
dairy It should bo handled and petted
all tho way up, and sho will Bcldom
cause much trouble. Our heifers
raised in this way aro very tame.
When wo put thorn away to pasture
we go occasionally and salt them, al
ways endeavoring to glve.thera a kind
ly pat, and when it is time to tako
them homo they are easily caught,
says a writer in an exchnnge. Oth
ers will tako young stock to pasture
and nover go near them from spring
till fall. Then when they do go will
tako a "fool" dog mado so by having
a fool master- and chase their young
stock all over tho hills to catch them.
I havo known ono or two cases whero
a ''professional" dog was sent for
ten miles away to catch the heifers.
What a foolish waste of energy, and
how easily It could havo been avoid
ed! Make-Up of Cow.
The first-class cow, besides being
a large producer, should be of a quiet
disposition. Tho nervous, bad tem
pered cow, not only tries tho pationco
of tho owner, but wastes his time as
well.
Profit of Cow.
The milk production alono Is not
what measures tho profit of the cow.
it is tho difference between tho cost
of feed and tho roturna which tho
milk brings.
Dairy Hares
Close skimming means more skim
milk left on the place.
A bit moro feed now that the pas
tures aro getting shorter.
Is your bull gentle? Then get a
ring In his nose before night.
Draining butter well before salting
will help lta keeping qualities.
Bettor a noso ring for the young
bull than an accident afterward.
A brush to wash dairy utensils Is
more sanitary than the time honored
rag.
A solid concrete base for tho sepa
rator will lengthen tho life of tho ma
chine. It pays in more ways than one to
bo friendly with tho young dairy
Btock.
Cooler weather and fewer files will
make milking 'a pleasantcr choro from
now on.
One mess of milk spoiled for lack
of proper cooling will pay for a good
aerator.
Tho big secret In keeping butter Is
to havo It good to begin with, then
keep It cold.
For a cheap but effective milk
strainer nothing beats several thick
ncBso of cheesecloth.

place In the cellar If a tank of cold

his title from tho fact that
his work always was dono
above the ground. Whllo
Becond story robberies still,
and always will, occur, tho great
school of tho past, of which "Big
Frank" McCoy, Peto McCrackon and
"Kid" Kelly wcro leaders, is a thing
of tho past,
Whethor the public has learned
through so many lessons not to keep
valuablo In upstairs rooms, or whoth
er tho change 1b due to tho fact that
wo aro producing a lower and less dar
ing class of thieves, I am not prepared
to Bay. But In tho days whon tho
above named worthies wero tho lead
ers of tho "second-Btory mon" scores
of such robberies wero reported In tho
big cltlos whero there Is now ono.
Tho boldness with which "second
story mon" operate makes It appear
to tho unprofessional mind that an
unusual amount of risk is Involved.
As a matter of fact, tho risk Is not so
great as in any number of other styles
of robbory. In Now York city there
havo boon fewer convictions for second-story
robberies than almost nD
other, duo in part to tho difficulty of
detection.
"Big Frank" McCoy went undetect
ed until ho pulled a coping stone loose
whllo scaling the front porch of a
house in Brooklyn and was crushed
to death. Second story thlovery lan
guished for a tlmo after his death,
and then tho bright lights came out of
tho west and stirred things up in tho
big city until the police wero at their
wits' end. It is the story of one of
them, Fete McCracken, tho only real
first class chief that Ohio, the maker
of presidents, ever produced, that I
started out to tell.
PETE M'CRACKEN'S STORY.
"I gave this community," Bald Peto,
"a great shaking up. They talk
about the way In which tho gangs in
tho farwest hold up railroad trains
and walk away with safes from coun
try banks as If they were really some
thing to bo proud of, but I tell you,
I my boy, they aro nothing compared
to the way in which 'Kid' Kelly and I
held up New York and mado hun
dreds of people pay tribute to our
prowess and cunning.
"Never was much on bragging. A
fellow who has spent half his life in
Jail, perhaps, hasn't got much to brng
about, you may think, but I alwayB
felt proud of tho work I did In this
city. I will say from what I know,
that so far as tho police wero con
cerned, If it had not been for somo
underhanded business I would havo
been running along In tho same old
I lino even to this day. Why, It was
' Just like rolling off a log. The way
the wealth of tho Now Yorkcr3 rolled
Into my net was a caution.
"I had been doing time In Jollet,
111., for burglary, and I got out on tho
same day with 'Kid' Kelly, one of
tho best thieves I ever met. He was
no bigger than a 12-year-old boy, but
he was as quick as grea&sd lightning.
There was nothing on the calendar
that ho would not tackle. Ho raa
the only person I over met who was
absolutely without fear. He seemed
to have no Idea of what fear meant. I
remember on ono occasion, when the
'Kid' and I got Into close quarters in
St. Louis, that he was shot through
the hand. Ho neglected to take care
of tho wound. I took him to Bee a
surgeon, who said that tho only way
to save 'Kid's' arm and life was to
amputate all of his hand excopt the
thumb and forefinger.
"Tho 'Kid' told tho doctor to begin
without dlay, and tho expert started
to give him a dOBo of other, nut 'tho
Kid' refused to tako it. Ho actually
sat down In a chair, held up his hand,
and watched tho surgeon cut through
his flesh and snip off th bonR with
a pair of forceps without a tremor.
While 'the Kid was getting over this
I kept easy, and read a great deal.
Ono day I struck a story about the re
markable decrease in second-story
robberies in New York, and It struck
me that tho tlmo was Just rlpo for mo
to pay the big town a visit. The peo
ple would bo feeling aecuro, and that
is the time for a thief to get In his
flno work.
"'The Kid' and I got to Now York
In tho latter part of September. We
spent about three weeks studying tho
bouses and what appeared to bo the
best placeB to tackle. Tho field was
tho most promising ono that I ever
saw. There were few houses oh
Fifth, Lexington and Madison ave
nues, as well as on tho cross streets,
that could not bo entered from the
second story by either 'the Kid' or me.
"Wo started In on Madison avenue.
In 30 days wo got Into 60 houses and
picked up property that would make
an average of moro than $1,000 a
house.
"Wo did not have tho slightest trou
ble In any placo. Wo came closo to
be seen by a woman who entered a
room In which wo wero working on
Twenty-ninth street and Madison ave
nue, but went away without seo
Ing us. Sho nevor know how cloao

excitement as thero was In tho city.
Tho papers wero filled with Htorles
about tho second-Btory work going on
from day to day. Tho pollco wore
abused for not catching tho thlevos.
It was rare port for us to read these
Btorles and' hear tho comments upon
them,

stylo as becamo two gentlemen of ol
ognnt leisure. This public plnce
was about tho safest spot we could
havo struck, as the work did not tako
moro than an hour early In tho eve
ning. Tho rest of tho tlmo wo wcro
at tho hotel, nnd could have got C0
persons, no doubt, If It wore neces
sary, to prove an alibi.
"Succoss camo so easily our way
that it mado us bold, and wo were led
Into temptation on a very extenslvo
scale. I was a closo Btudent of tho
papers, and for several days I saw
notices of the proparatlons that wcro
being mado for tho great Hogors wed

Kid' nnd I went up to tako a look at
tho houso and see if it offered any
Inducements for us to mako a try for
It. A better placo could not havo
been mado for us. There was a va
cant building in tho rear of the' house
facing Thlrty-thlrd street. Wo found
that an entrance could bo forced In
It easily.
"It was merely taking a chance, for
thero was no telling whero the pres
ents, which would ccrtnlnly bo given
to tho bride, would bo kept. If they
wero taken upstairs, they would bo
our mutton; If not, wo would have a
little trouble for nothing.
"On tho night of tho wedding re
ception wo got Into the vacant houso.
Wo could seo from our watching placo
thnt Jho presents wero on tables In
tho Becond story. Wo kept quiet un
til tho party wont downstnlrs to tho
woddlng Bupper. Then it was timo
for ub to begin our little act. It was
a tnattor of shinning over a fence to
get Into the Rogers' back yard. Whllo
the banc" was playing softly, 'The Kid'
went up the back piazza Hko a cat.
It was too high to Jump out of tho
window in case of discovery, so 'The
Kid' dropped a ropo ladder from the
second story to the ground In a place
whero it was hidden from vlow from
the lower window's.
"My Instructions to 'Tho Kid' were
to load up his pockets with everything
that could be easily carried. Then,
if ho had" tlmo. o toss several of tho
moro valuablo bulky articles out of
tho window to mo whllo tho band was
playing, to hide any sound that mlirht
I como from a fall.
'"The Kid' worked like a flash, and
began tossing lumps of silver out to
mo before I thought ho had got down
to work. I had bags ready and drop
ped all tho stuff Into them,
of these latter wero caught.
"'Tho Kid: kept at work until ho
heard footsteps on tho stair, and then
slid down tho ladder. After waiting
a second to boo If any alarm would be
given, wo removed tho bags to tho
vacant houso. Wo then watched our
chance, and got the stuff Into a cab
which was waiting on tho corner for
us. It was the slickest piece of work
over dono In Now York. The next day
a howl went up from tho peoplo for
protection which must havo given the
police a chill.
"We were satibfled to call quits, for
we had picked up stuff worth over
$100,000, and It was all the kind which
could be safely handled In disposing
of it."
DETECTIVE M'CLOSKEY'S STORY.
"Tho series of second-Btory robber
ies," said Detoctlvo McCloskey, "which
wound up with the daring attack upon
the residence of Colonel Rogers, on
tho night of the marrlago of bis daugh
ter, which was attended by the lead
ing members of the Four Hundred,
were tho boldest and most puzzling
crimes I over was called upon to in
vestigate. "Tho excitement was at fover heat

Btrong to say that bo'.weon the hours
of Ave and eight In tho evening, hair

to bo from the fact that no ono snw
tueni at all moro of the nature of
spirits than human beings, Tho rob
beries were not confined to nny sec
tion, but spread In all dlrotlnnR In
nil partd of the city. It was evident
from tho style of tho work, that In
tho Fifth avenue district there were
two or more vory export thieves en
gaged. In othor parts of the city men
wcro at work, probably Imitators of
these, who did not movo with tho
same caution and certainty.
"Thousands of robberies were re
ported from all sections at tho city.
It seemed to all thoao wEo wero far
miliar with tho old-tlmo crooks, that
'Big Frank' McCoy and 'Long John'
Qarvel had returned to earth and
started thotr notorious old gang on the
road again. I was placed upon these
cases from the vory start. I really
felt ashamed to report day after day
that I had got no track of the thieves.
Their work was like lightning You
nover could tell whero It would strike.
I was Instrumental In sending 25 or
30 thieves to Jail that I had run down
In Investigating these crimes, but they
wero all petty thieves. Thero wasn't
ono among them capable of carrying
on tho style of work going on In tho
uptown districts
"Other policemen mado arrests in
all sections of tho city. In spite- of nil
tho vigilance exercised by tho pollco
and citizens, tho big robborlos went
on night after night. The thieves
seemed to have the strange facility
of picking out tho very houses to at
tack which wore tho least suspected
and the worst guarded. It was 'U
terly impossible to get an accurnto de
scription of tho mon. In all tho
placoH which wero attacked tho de

"At tho tlmo of theso robberies no

"It was evident that local thtovos

The attack upon tho houso of Colo
nel Rogers was a staggerer. At the
tlnlo the robbory must havo boon com
mitted, between 200 and 300 guests
wcro in tho house. Among thoao
wero soveral well-known military mon
and others, who would havo only
boen too glad to enliven tho festivi
ties with a llttlo diversion with
thlovos. Yet tho thieves, had tho nerve
to enter, and they got away without
a soul seeing them.
"Tho entrance to tho houso was
mado from tho rear, over a piazza
which extended up to about flvo foot
of tho socond-story window. It wns
my belief that tho thloycs had got
ten to tho yard from a vncant houso
In tho rear on tho next street. Thoro
was, howovor, nothing In this house
to show it had been entered at all, all
tho doors and windows being locked.
"Tho roor of tho piazza had been
freshly painted. It showed the fool
prints of but ono man, who woro rub
bers or moccasins without heels, Tho
marks on tho paint, whero the thief
clutched the top of tho piazza to dtaw
hluibolf up from the pillar, wero very
peculiar. Tho loft hand showed four
linger prints, whllo tho right hand
showed only ono. This was very puz
zling. I thought perhaps It was duo
to the fact that tho thief hold a ropo
ladder with IiIb othor fingers. Tho
piston did not extend the full length
of the houso, and tho ropo lnddor wns
lound hanging from ono of the win
dows. "Tho prosents in tho houso had boen
left In charge of a servant. Whou tho
guests all went downstnlrs to the din
ing room sho thought thoro would bo
no furthor uso for her, bo sho went
down to tako a view of tho decora

It was during her absonco that tho
thief did tho trick. Sho wasn't gone
moro than ten minutes. Whon she
returned sho did not notice that any
thing had been disturbed. It was a
coupio of hours after tho robbory bo
loio It was discovered.
"Tho colonel offered a reward ol
$15,000 for tho recovory of tho Btolcn
goods and tho capture of tho thlovcs.
There was n great hustlo among
thloves themselves to got n bit ol
this $15,000. Tho fences would have
glvon up almost nny thiof for a whack
at It. But tho thlovcs wcro cunning
dogs. Thoy had nevor pawned or
sold nny of tho stolon goods In this

"Whllo I was cracking my skull to

thine, I got a tip from Joe Foley, nn
ex-convict, that 'Big Poto' McCrackon
and 'Kid' ICclly woro In tho city, and
that tho 'Kid' only had ono finger on
his right hand. This was tho first
good news I hnd heard.
"The case fairly haunted me. One
Friday afternoon I droppod Into tho
Astor Iioubo for lunch. I glancod
around tho room carolossly, nnd saw
standing at tho bar a tall, determined
looking man, drinking with a man not
bigger than a good-sized boy. When
tho llttlo fellow raised his glass to

For seven years Isuf-

I was in bed for tout

weak I could hardly
walk. I cramped and
had backacho and
hcadacho, and was
so nervous and weak
that I dreaded to see
anyone or havo ony
ono movo In tho room.
Tho doctors gavo ma

times, and said that I ought to
havo an operation. I would not listen to
that, and when & friend of my husband
told him about Lydla E. PJnkham'a Veg
etable Compound and what it had dono
for his wifo, I was willing to tako it.
Now I look tho picturo of health and feel
liko it, too. I can do my own housework,
hoo my garden, and milk a cow. I can
entertain company and enjoy them. I
can visit when I choose, and walk as far
as any ordinary woman, any day in tha
month. I wish I could talk to every
suffering woman and girl." Mrs. Dema

health was all broken down, the doctors
said I must havo on operation, and I was
ready to go to tho hospital, butdreadedit

I got along so well that I gavo up tho
