GREGORY, Auihor of "Home Coure In Modern AKrlculture," "Makln Money on the Farm," Etc. Copyright, 1900. by American Preii Association Continued from last issue Milk" Fever. Heavy milking cows uru often af fected with tnllk fever soon after calv ing. Tbe llrst symptoms appear from ten to twenty hours after, calving. The cow becomes uneasy, ceases to eat or to notice the culf and seems to be In considerable pain. The wall: Is un steady, and the animal soon falls and Is unable to rise. If not attended to, death Is very likely to result. The cause of milk fever is not def initely known. Since It occurs only In heavy milkers It may be due to part of the milk being reabsorbed again and acting as a poison to the nerves. Light feeding for a week before and after parturition is good preventive treat ment. One to two pounds of epsom salts given a few days prior to calving will reduce the liability to the disease. When the udder is greatly enlarged previous to calving it is well to milk it out. The most effective remedy for milk fever is what Is known as the air treat ment. This consists in pumping the udder full of air, one quarter at a time, and working it well to get the air into all parts. A common bicycle pump may be used if a regular milk fever outfit is not at band. Both the udder and tbe instrument should be disinfected before the treatment is given. Hog Cholera. Hog cholera and tbe closely allied disease, swine plague, are tbe greatest sources of loss In the swlue industry. The first symptom is a refusal to eat. There are red and purple blotches on the skin and a sticky discbarge from the eyes. Tbe walk is often unsteady, and there is more or less coughing. There is no internal treatment that will cure hog cholera. The best means of handling it is by prevention. Dogs, crows and pigeons carry infection from one herd to another and should be kept away with a shotgun if neces sary. Running streams also carry In fection. When there Is cholera In the neighborhood no one but the regular feeder Bhould be allowed In the hog lot. The pens should be disinfected frequently with whitewash or coal tar dip. Having the hogs divided into omall lots helps to keep the disease from taking the whole herd if it once gets a start. All hogs that die should bo buried at once. When new animals are brought on to the farm they should be kept In quarantine for at least a week. A system of vaccination ha? been de veloped recently ot is proving very successful. The sixtli article of this series, "Pas- turcs and I'onige," begins next week' Profit From Animals This question is often discussed and frequently but to little purpose. The question or relative pronw i yu u stnnriiriniia nnrl fin it: fllwftVS Will 1)6 Tito person, therefore.who olaims that one class or livestock is more prouuiiu than : another, without duly regarding tl.n nrpunt mtia. henrfl taRtiuionV to the fact that lie lias grasped only a part of the subject. Ordinarily the cow will prove most profitable uuder intensive conditions of farming, as nntri nts are furnished in tlio form of milk much mom cheap ly than in the form of hoof. But it is possiblo to grow mutton oortain limit under the same conditions of farmintr, virtually without any cost. The rf ference is to a small band of ol.nnn Iron tilintl n fnrm during tll6 Oil- tire period of grazing by means of food found in by places, and wluoii .l,l nl,n,.urlun V0 Innfc if lint fiatUD by Bheep. This, however, would not justify the conolusion that dairy oows are not in many instances more profi table than slieep. Again, take the cam of cattle grown uuder range coudition. Beef thus Rrown cost but littlo. Milk or dairv product con id not be produced at all undor condition for the general mar ket.

The important matter, therofore, is to keep e'ach class in its proper place, regardless of the protfls that houio ouo eise may De u.uw m his special line. Best Records of Different Dairy Breeds The largost rnoord yot made is that of Oolantiia 4tli Johanna, that gave 01)8 pounds of fat in 365 days. This cow is a Holstein and is owned by W. J.

STAFFORD By an oversight of somobody, owing nerhaD to the excitement of Christ mas time, last week's items were not sent to the Connor office in time ior publication, but we will try to do a little better this week. The weather continues to bo clear and cool, the mercury hovering around tlio freezing point and occasionally venturing a little, below. Potato nigging is at a standstill and men do but lif's exoopt to keop warm by the fire. B. F. Weddlo, our genial neighbor, improved the time by getting married. The bride is a very estimable lady, whose farm lies across the road from his, wliioh will make it very convenient to work both places. They gave us all, the surprise of our lives when they went, to Oregon City laBt Wednesday and were quietly mar ried. The neighbor met them nrst on Saturday evening at. the sohool en tertainment and Christmas tree. where thev reoeived many and vari ous presents from tho tree and many a friendly handshake from friendc of both. After all was over, the noys. having come proparod, went down and gave them a charivari, in which the girls heartily joined. The scliool entertainment was ex cellent, the scholars wero drilled to perfection, but the noise aim distur bance and loud whispers and even talk in the baok of tho room marred the pleasure of those who o me to hear and enjoy. One baby with a whistle which he would put to his mouth with botii hands and screech through, and stamp his big boots on the floor, seomed to try to lead all the rest. The querv is, "Why don't his mother keen him at home if he don't want to hear anything himself ?" There was another wedding anrt charivari in the neighborhood Inst week, when Mr. Wilkins daughter married a young man from Newberg, and it is said the crowd scattered giant powder over the fields, and Mr. Wilkins would like to hire a man to do the first plowing, though it is suggestod that he may sow turnip seed, and whon ready to gather cover with straw, set it anre, aiid loi his turuips would be pulled without trouble. Christmas passod otl pleasantly. A tree at the school house Christmas eve, one at the church Christmas night and about every family had tlioir private ho.uo tri e to please the children, and ah hough the chimneys aud stovopipes of tins later day puzzle their little heads not a little, thoir stockings are mystoriously found 111 loi in the morning even it nuug from the backs ot chairs.
