COWS TRAINED FOR THE TEST

Jerseys at the World’s Fair Are Expected to Show That They Are Superior to All Other Breeds. The herd of Jersey cows assembled at the World’s Fair at St Louis to represent the Jersey breed in the universal dairy test has been inspected and has been pronounced in perfect condition and ready to start upon their six months’ grind on a day’s notice. W. R. Spann of the Burr Oak Jersey farm, Dallas, Tex., was the inspector, and he was thorough In his work. He passed a week on the Exposition grounds, and much of the time was spent in and around the Jersey cattle barn, and the condition of each individual of the herd'of forty cows was definitely ascertained. Never was more Intelligent and careful treatment lavished on animals. No athlete was ever better trained for a contest requiring the development of speed, skill and endurance than has been this herd of Jerseys. When it is known that this herd is to compete with selected herds of Holstelns, Shorthorns, Brown Swiss and Devons, and the herd making the best score for the production of butter, milk and cheese is to establish the standing of the various breeds, the importance of the cows being In perfect condition may be understood. For a solid year the Jerseys have been in constant training. Twentyfive cows will participate in the contest Cows were selected from the best herds in the United States. Dr. J. J. Richardson, president of the American Jersey Cattle Club, under whose auspices this entry is made, toured Europe and visited the famed Isle of Jersey, where the breed originated. He was seeking the best cows, but returned satisfied that Europe could show no cows that were better than those bred in America. Though only twenty-five cows will participate In the test, forty cows were selected. They were assembled at Jerseyville, IIL, a year ago. This is near SL Louis, and the cattle have become acclimated. Last December they were removed to SL Louis. The cows are the property of individual members of the club and are loaned for the term of the tesL C. T. Graves, a breeder at Maitland, Mo., was selected as the superintendent to have charge of the cattle, and be has been highly complimented by Dr. Richardson and Inspector Spann for the wonderfully fine condition in which he has placed the herd. A series of model dairy barns have been built for the breeds competing in the test The barns are octagonal In form, and are so arranged that the cows are in the center and a wide promenade permits visitors to pass around and view the cows as they stand in their stalls. The milking and feeding are to be done in plain view of the public, and representatives of the various herds will at all times have access to all the barns to see that do sharp practices are indulged in. The test not only consists in showing the amount of butter, milk and cheese produced, but the cost of production is taken into consideration. Every ounce of food given each cow is weighed and carefully recorded. When the cows are milked, the milk is conveyed to a model creamery in the Agricultural building, where it is tested and made into butter and <seese and where all records are carefully kepL The Jersey cattle participated in a similar test at Chicago during the Columbian Exposition and carried off first honors. Superintendent Graves is sanguine over the result of the present tesL He says that the Jerseys have always demonstrated their superiority over all other breeds when placed in competition, and this time they will show to better advantage than ever. Not only is the Jersey milk richer in butter fat than the milk of any other breed, says Mr. GrAves, but it can be produced at a less cosL The Jersey cows are the smallest of the standard breeds, and he asserts that they consume less feed. They assimilate their food, and it is converted into milk and butter and is not used in building up and sustaining a large carcass. “We are going to make alt other breeds take to the woods after this tesL” said Mr. Graves. “A few days ago I was testing some of onr Jersey milk, and my hands were all sticky and greasy from the enormous amount of batter fat the milk contained. Mr, Von Heyne, who is in charge of the Holstelns, sent over a quantity of his milk for me to tost Of course, from a commercial standpoint, there was no comparison between the milk, but It was a pleasure to test his milk, for when I got through there was no grease on my bands. After this I will have a bucket of Holstein milk around handy to wash my hands in after testing our own rich Jersey milk.” The test begins May 16 and continues 120 days.

Unique California Map.

A unique exhibit at the World’s Fair was prepared by the agricultural department of the University of California. It Is a large map, so colored as to show the character of the various soils of the state. It gives a clear idea of the situation and the extent of the arable and nntlllable sections. In the localities that cannot be cultivated are shown the Sierras, the lava beds and the desert The map indicates the location of the cultivable portions of the mountains and Mobave plateau and shows the nature of the foothills and valleys of that wonderful state.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Political and Oeneral Gossip of the National Capitol. Special Correspondent to The Democrat: Congress has long since gdne and the administration is going. Secretary Hay has gone to St. Louis to make a speech to the newspaper men there assembled. Secretary Shaw and Attorney-General Knox will soon hie them West on spellbinders errands, and talk wherever they find waiting audiences. Governor Taft, as they still call the Secretary of War, has fled from pneumonia to the Adirondacks woods. (May it not be a little severe on a recent graduate of the tropics? Why didn’t he go to Virginia or North Carolina for a month?) Two or three other members of the Cabinet will take wing in a week or two, and Pension Commissioner Ware says he has had about all he wants of that kind of business. As to the President, he delays his departure for Oyster Bay but will shortly visit Groton, Mass., where his boys are at school, and where, if he is wise, he will give himself the honor of meeting the Groton patriot and publicist, Governor Boutwell, President of the AntiImperialist League, and taking some lessons in humane statesmanship. Such a conference could not fail to be profitable, with a man almost twice as old and more than twice as —however, let that pass. 't t t For a week now the local papers have been filled with advertisements of “The Stewart Sale, a magnificent Collection of Valuable Household Appointments Formerly in Use at Stewart Castle.” The fashionable half of Washington, already on the qui vive, was stirred to its depths this morning by the publication of statements denoting a family quarrel on the border of scandal. The Senator from Nevada still lingers here to superintend the sale; and yesterday one of his divorced daughters, Mrs. Bessie Hooker, charged her father with heartlessness and cruelty in selling her mother’s private property . and family souvenirs, and with having sent her mother’s portrait to the auc-tion-block, where she had, with difficulty rescued it. The Senator alleges that the statement is false; that on his wife’s death, he gave the keys to Mrs. Hooker and her sister and told them to help themselves; that, long after they had done so, he sent to the auction certain remaining property which belonged to him, and Mrs. Hooker dettfanded that it be delivered to her; that he has taken care of her for fifteen years and edtfcated her sons; and that his daughter’s allegation is a “return of evil for good.” The Senator was married a second time about a year ago, against the remonstrance of his daughters. He is seventy-seven years old. t t t Your correspondent called tfiis morning at the fine residence of Mrs. Bessie Hooker in the center of the Northwestern elite. In answer to my card she made her appearance and a very attractive appearance it was. Mrs. Hooker is a vivacious blonde, “divinely tall and most divinely fair,” and rather showily dressed for the early morning hours. “The morning papers,” I said, "published what is virtually a card from the Senator,»and —” Yes,” she excla-

imed, “yes; unfortunately; I cannot help it.” I remarked that I thought she might perhaps wish to make some explanation or rerejoinder. “No,” she said, “I cannot. You see that I cannot contradict my father. He can say what he pleases, and I am not in a position to defend myself. You see how it is. No; but I thank you.” Of course I desisted from attempting to obtain an interview, and withdrew. I then called at the auction house, and found floor after floor crowded full of the most expensive furniture and equipments, including choice bric-a-brac from many climes. As I was inspecting an ormolu clock my attention was attracted by the long drawn sigh of a woman robed in black sitting in one of the gilded teakwood chairs. When I looked towards her she said “Ah, sir, this reminds me!” I said “You have seen this furniture before? She replied in a melancholy tone, “For years I lived among it.” She said no more. I wanted to ask the dishevelled and weather-beat-en women what she knew about it, but the bashfulness of a regular correspondent caused me to forbear. The collection offered for sale to the highest bidder contains many rare and valuable works of art, representing the best craftmanship of the East Indies add China. These things ought to find a place in some national museum, either in Washington or New York. The richly carved ebony and teakwood furniture, including sofas, chairs, tables, pedestals, etc., is as massive and beautiful as anything of the kind ever seen in America, and is upholstered with fine Persian embroidery. Several gorgeous sets of furniture are of French make, rococo in style, covered with gold and Aubusson tapestries in pale grays and lovely designs of flowers. Perhaps the most interesting part of the collection consists of Chinese embroideries on pale blue and gold colored satin. This includes very large hangings, curtains, portieres etc., enough to line a great ball room. They are covered with dragons with huge staring eyes and switching tails; birds of all species, including storks and peacocks; conventional designs peculiar to the Chinese, and done in both flat and raised work; water monsters and dashing sea waves. There are also Turkish carpets, paintings, and rich bric-a-brac. The presumption is that the Asiatic furniture came to the Senator through the Chinese Ambassador who once occupied Castle Stewart. The household of Senator Stewart has long been distinguished for its turbulence. Is there any cause for wonder? The late Mrs. Stewart was a daughter of that Henry S. Foote who beat Jefferson Davis in the canvass for Governor of Mississippi and who was for many years Senator from that State. During the war he was a psendo-Union man, and in favor of accepting the terms offered by Lincoln in ’63 and ’64. He had a most violent temper and was terrible in his fits of anger. He fought at least six duels and he and Thomas H. Benton had a knock-down on the floor of the Senate. Two of his duels were with the magnetic orator, S. S. Prentiss, and the story is told that in one of them Prentiss looked up a tree where some boys had climbed to see the fight and

sang out “Take care, boys, better come down. Foote is shooting wild this morning!” Foote was quick on the trigger, ready to fight anybody with or without cause, and is reported to have sent at least a dozen challenges that were not accepted. So the troubles in the “Stewart Castle” were perhaps hereditary.
