Uncle Sam in sending warships to
the scene of the Nicaraguan trouble
has had one desired effect—it has
caused Zelaya, the butcher, to resign
the presidency of that unhappy coun

of bringing peace out of disorder and
bloodshed.

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

to a hydrophobic canine. The Star
should seek to abstain from such
querulousness. It will spoil its

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.
