The following bulletin to Nebraska dairymen has been issued by the de partment of 'dairy husbandry of the atato university : The piesptit hot , dry season Is prov ing to be a most disastrous one for keeping up the milk Mow and It will be necessary to use cxtromo measures to prevent a severe loss. Reports have been locolved Irom various parts of the state telling of dry pastures and a , severe decrease in milk production. This Is a most seri ous condition when wo consider the month of June as the best In the year for pastures and volume of milk pro duced. As most of the cows freshen In the spring , they should be at this season of the year at the height of their pro duction. If they are allowed to shrink now they ure not apt to be profitable fall and winter producers. It must bo understood that a cow must produce a certain amount of milk and fat during the year In older to prove a pioflt to her keeper. Thousands of cows arc made unprof itable through lack of food at critical seasons of the year , and this is cer tainly a most critical season. The ilrst cutting of alfalfa has now been harvested and milch cows should have access to some of this now hay. They should also be given a small grain ration , which could be given in amounts according to the production of the cow. As the Hies are getting very bad , It Is well to use once or twice : i day some lly mixture which can be put on with a hand sprayer. The milker will Ilnd his work more agreeable If he would put his cows In a dark stable while they are being milked. If this is impos sible he can use a gunnysack blan ket , which , thrown o\er the animal during milking time , will prevent switching and discomfort to the cow and milker. The main quality for profitable production may be ex pressed by the simple term , "cow comfort ; " in other words , when a cow Is comfortable she can then do her best. Should she be tormented with Hies , forced to eat short , unpnl.it- nblo grass or suffer hunger , it Is Im possible for her to make her most profitable production. Wo are ciulto likely to get some good rains later on in the season , which will revive the pastures and give the animals more succulent feed , but until such a condition is had the feeding process must go on. Few cow keepers realize the great differ ence in profit between cows giving a normal How and those reduced to a scant flow. Ilrlelly , this may be ex plained In the following way. A 1,000-pound cow requires each day about twelve pounds of alfalfa hay to sustain her. This is termed the "maintenance" part of the ration. If this cow Is producing thirty pounds of fl per cent , milk , she will need about forty pounds of alfalfa hay per day to make the milk. 'This added to the twelve pounds for main tenance would moan she must receive fifty-two pounds of hay The same figures In terms of grass would mean she must cat thirty-seven pounds of grass for maintenance and sixty-six pounds of grass for production , or a total requirement to keep up body and milk flow of 101 ! pounds of grass , which under the present conditions , Is a physical impossibility. State Treasurer's Report. State Treasurer Brian's monthly re port showa that ho had a balance of $ G7fi,487.CS at the close of the month of June. The balance on hand June 1 was $876,410.68.

SHORTAGE OF WATER. Mnny Complaints From Western Ne braska Irrlgators. State Engineer K C. Hlmmons , as Bee-rotary of the state board of Irri gat Ion , baa received many complaints from western Nebraska from irrlga- tors ComplalntH nro mndo that claim ants are using water to which pthcrs have pi lor rights. Information ie colvcd Indicates that the North Platte river and nil of the smaller streamo In the woDlern patt of the stnto arc almost dry. Lack of snow In the mountains In Colorado and Wyoming is given mi the reason for lack of water In tlin Plat to river. Usually these rivers rlso the latter part of June from the melting of snow. If the rise does not take place , and this is now doubtful , those who depend upon Irrigation In western Nebraska may have great difficulty In getting water. Slate Engineer .Simmons has no funds with which to police canals and theie is no way to prevent pur- sons from taking water icgardless of whether or not persons entitled to prior claims on streams have been supplied. The hrlgutor who has a crop that Is being ruined for lack of water is not likely to stand Idly by and see water Hawing down stream to some other claimant who may live many miles away. The state engineer Is unable to cause an eats and go Into court to prosecute persons who take water out of their turn because he has no loiinds to expend for such pur poses. His two under secretaries , Robert II. Willis of Bridgeport , and Page T. Francis of Crawford are In the Held constantly trying to pacify claimants and restore some semb lance of order , but it is said the Irrl gators have about decided to take water whenever they need it legard- less of the lights of others. It la be lieved It will be hard to get Juries to convict such persons in their own communities for so doing. All that the state engineer can do is to notify persons complained of that they must not open their headgates till those having prior rights are supplied with water. If this does no good the com plainants will have to go Into the courts to seek injunctions to enforce their rights Attorney General May Leave. Attorney General W. T. Thompson , according to a rumor current. In Lin coln , has been appointed to a posi tion at Washington at a salary of several thousand dollars a year , has accepted the position and will go to Washington at the close of his term of ofllce In Nebraska. Mr. Thompson is now on his way homo from Wash ington and confirmation of the rumor cannot bo had at his ofllco or his home.

One of the pro posed laws , a military code covers four and a half feet of the ballot , set solid , about fourteen newspaper col umns. No Fourth Pardon. Governor Shallenberger issued no Fourth of July pardon , or at least no pardon was received at the state prison , and none was expected. An effort was made to secure the pardon of Convict Hawkins , sentenced twelve years ago for life for murder. First District Census. Census Supervisor Helvey and his assistants have completed the com pilation of statistical returns in the First congressional district of Nebras ka and forwarded the last batch of schedules to the director of the cen sus at Washington. This included the reports from fifty-eight districts on population And twenty-one on agricul tural data.
