We do not know of any newspaper with seemingly a greater grouch than the Lincoln Daily Star. A shadow of Senator Burkett sends the Star off on a tangent, while the name of Yic Rosewater acts like the view of water to a hydrophobic canine. The Star should seek to abstain from such querulousness. It will spoil its Christmas cheer and continue to1 make its columns sort of cemetery headstones to its readers. The proposed merger of the Belle vue and Hastings Presbyterian colleges has raised a storm of protest from the Bellevue students, faculty and founders of that college which was evidently little expected when the proposed merger was adopted by the synod. In another column we re print the resolutions from the stu dents of Bellevue protesting against the death knell of that college. Later the faculty of Bellevue made public its stormy ^protest in a series of reso lutions published in the Bee, and still later, in Tuesday's Bee comes the report of the restraining order on the trustees from the founder, Henry T. Clarke, against the consolidation of, the two colleges. Just what will be the outcome, is still in the air, but it is clearly seen that the Bellevue in terests propose to light to the last ditch against the merger of the colleges. I SLLEVUE PUPILS against' Merger Unanimously Resolve to Fight Against It. The Bellevue college student body Is heartily opposed to any merger of Bellevue and Hastings colleges. The students of the local institutions went on record at a mass meeting, the purpose in calling which was to make clear this hostility to the merger. The following resolution to the trustees was unanimously adopted: First—We are unanimously opposed to such a union. Second—Those graduating this year will be immediately deprived of their alma mater. Third —Many of those expecting to graduate after ttiis year will be forced to leave school and in many cases will neverflnish their education. Fourth—We deplore the loss of traditions, memories and the spirit of Bellevue, which has become almost a part of our being, and which would inevitably be destroyed by the pro posed union. Fifth—Our president, Dr. Stookey, holds the respect, admiration and love of every student in the college. Since coming to us he lias worked under tremenduous odds and has won the highest place in our affections. The proposed union would mean his loss to us and also the loss of mem bers of our faculty to whom we are equally attached, and for these reasons, if for no others, we would be opposed to it. Sixth—Finally, we are fully aware that the merger can take place in name only. It means not the unit ing of Bellevue and Hastings, but the death of Bellevue, leaving a clear field lor Hastings and the Univendty of Omaha. The spirit of Bellevue and Hastings cannot be united and in all probability no Bellevue student will consign his attiliatious to Hast ings. We feel that the University of Omaha and Bellevue are not the same or even related. We are for Bellevue, as Bellevue college, first, last and always, and respectfully request you, the. trustees, to consider our interests in your deliberations. This is the sentiment of the entire student body at Bellevue college, and also of the alumni. The second day of the Farmers’ Institute was not as largely attended as was the first day, but the interest was unflagging. Only one speaker came for that day, Mr. Wm. Ernst of Tecumseh. At the close of the after noon session occurred the election of officers as follows: President, O. S. Fross; vice president, A. J. Johnson; treasurer, R. D. Hendrickson; sec retary, L. N. Smith, and executive committee, H. J- Johansen, F. A. Pinckney and C. J. Tracy. It was agreed to have'several local meetings each year, to early forward the in terest in the institute to its annual meeting. The first meeting will be at the court house in this city the second Saturday afternoon in "Feb ruary, when complete arrangfem.jnts will be made for other and future sessions. We trust- the interest, in these farmer meetings will intensify as time rolls around. THE DAIRY COW Prize Essay From Notes Taken of Lecture Be fore Institute BY LETTIE PEUGH. The state of Nebraska stands at the head for dairy raising. The reason is so much alfalfa is grown here, also this an excellent state for grazing. Ontario is the largest dairy ing district in America. The early settlers, because of the poor quality of the soil, employed themselves in dairying. The cows were bred for milk only, thus they prospered, and the land is very valuable today. The farmer who pins his faith on dairy ing is leaning on a strong prop. If more of the people would follow the dairy business, the price of cream and butter wouid not be reduced. The most important factors in making this work a success are, first, to have good supervision at the head; second, to market a first class article, which means that it must be clean and pure. Tiie cow should be fed abundantly, but she should have a well balanced ration. It is better for the cow bo be fresh in the spring, when the grass is green and plenty. She, on account of iier nervous and sensitive dis position, should be comfortable. Dur ing the season of flies, she should be well sprayed. It is best to have a stable for your dairy cows, as their skin is very delicate, while the beef breed are hardy and sturdy. The stable should be roomy, with plenty of feed racks, water should be near, and with good yentilation, win dows should be on both sides, thus allowing a full current of fresh air. It should be sanitary, and by all means kept sanitary. Every cause should be pure and clean, for we get the milk first hand, when it is not diseases may be the result. It should be the custom to milk the cows in the stable, for in case of a storm, they would be protected. The milkers should be clean. They should not use tobacco in any form. The women should be the milkers, for they possess a gentle and femi nine disposition which corresponds to the cow's characteristics. Before milking, lay a damp cloth over the lap and gently rub the udder with a soft towel, thus removing little straws and small particles of dirt which have accumulated there. Don’t pull too strenuously on the teats and the cow will give her milk freely. There should be order or system to milking, never skip one, then later return to her, for she will become nervous and fretful, thus hindering the flow of milk. You should be very careful in the selection of a cow. If a separator is used, have it clean and sweet, then run the milk through while warm. If tainted with some weed, by heating to 160 or 170 degrees this taste will be removed. The cream should be kept cool and fresh.: Before churning heat and ripen it. Don’t have it too sour, for then it will be disflavored. HANDLING THK CHURN It should be well scalded and cooled before pouring in the sweet-sour cream When it is gathered in small particles, wash thoroughly until the water is perfectly clear, then salt the butter in the churn, even if more salt is wasted. Salt very lightly. It is all right to color butter in winter, but not too much or flavor will be lost. Care should be taken not to overwork it on the moulding board, never rub it, for this causes it to become greasy, but gently press down. If, after standing twenty-four hours, white streaks are noticed throughout the butter, don’t be alarmed, for when the salt is not worked in thoroughly, this will be noticed. Parchment paper should be used instead of a cloth, in preparing butter for market. This paper should be placed in cold water before applying. BREEDING All breeds of dairy cows have the same conformation. There are four breeds of dairy cows. The Shorthorns serve both purposes. The Ayrshire ranks first for a dairy cow, the Hol stein next, followed by the Jersey and Guernsey. COMPARISON* OF BREEDS A dairy cow is long drawn out, while the beef conv is short and thick. Judge a dairy cow by her head. It must be long, the eye should be clear and expressive, the nostrils large, the neck must be long and thin, but should 'be deep from top to bottom. There should be little flesh on the shoulder, but in the region of the heart it should be full. The body should be deep through the middle, and ribs compact, with each succeed ing one farther apart. Strong over the loins, thighs thin and flank highly arched, thus allowing plenty of room for the udder. The udder should be large, but not too pendant when cow is young. There should be four teats in the udder, well set apart, and on the base of the udder, and they should be just large enough to milk easily. The milk vein should be well defined but not too large. The beef breed has a short, thick neck, with a yery broad back. The skin is hard and tough, while the skin of the dairy cow is soft and pliable.
