Un Vrai Scandale

Le correspondant de la Presse vous apports de nouveaux dé- tails sur la conduite des NS raux qui font partie du comité des comptes publics a sujet des fraudes électorales du Manito- ba : |

Les libéraux viennent de ten- ter un grand coup au comité des comptes publics, pour se dé- barrasser de l'enquête sur les comptes des poursuites pour fraudes électorales au Manito-) ba.

On sait que la plus grande fraude dans tout ceci, c'est le gaspillage pour soudoyer des a- vocats, des repris de Justice et des informers du Manitoba, de sommes considérables puisées daus le trésor public. Plus de $16,000 ont été dépensées pour u'aboätir à aucun résultat, sauf de payer les services d'agents é- lectoraux ou de protégés de M. Sifton, qui s'est même dintingué dans cette affaire, en portant lestement à son crédit person- nel, un chèque du ministère de 1a justice et en réglant à son gré les comptes qui lui plaisaient.

1la même accompli ce tour de force encore resté inexplica- ble de payer à M. Howell, son avocat de prédilection, une fac- ture de $15,000 à même un compte courant de $7,000.

Tout ceci est fort ennuyeux

L'IMPARTIAL, JEUDI LE 16 JUIN, 1898. . WHAT IS ‘’A G00D COW jtrue dairy type animal. |

PROF HEACHER, OF MINNESOTA, TALKS.

Prof. T L Haecker addressed four dairy institutes, last winter, held under the auspices of tho Jonnecticut Dairymen's Asso- clation. He said, emong other things :

“Before taking charge of the dairy herd of the Minnesota Ex- periment Station, 1 traveled ex- tensively over the State, looking up its dairy interests, and the prospect was not flattering. Low prices for all dairy products, little knowledge among dairy- men, and a type of cows, not suited for the business, were the rule. When 1 went to the station, 1 determined to work ont the cost of production, and since I have been there, we have weighed every pound of food the animals were fed, known its cost, weighed all the milk received, and tested it for its butter fat. We feed each cow ail she can consume and assimi- late. At the end of the first year, we found that some cows charg- ed us 17 cents per pound for butter made from their milk, while others charged only 12 cents, and others ranged bet- ween these two sums. The breed made no diflerence : some Short-horns made chsap butter, and some Jerseys costly

pour les libéraux qui ont tenté un grand coup et ont voulu for- mer le comité des comptes pu blics pour empêcher tout éclair. cissement ultérieur.

C'est M. Lister, le bouledogue du gouvernement qui s'était chargé de la chose. 11 se croit très fort, M. Lister, et il se croit surtout terrible. 11] a une façon de rouler sur les journalistes ses gros yeux ronds qu'il croit ter- rifiants. Au comité du Drum-

mond il essayait souvent cette looking animais that would

méthode pour pulvériser les ri- eurs, mais ça ne prend pas. 1i n’a pas réussi pour le Drum- mond est il a échoué pour les comptes publics.

Voici ce qui s’est passé.

Vendredi matin, à la réunion du comité des comptes publics, M. Lister a présenté une motion exonérant purement, simple- ment le gouvernement de tout blâäme dans les dépenses pour les fraudes d'élection du Mani- toba.

inutile de dire que ce truc malsain, qui violait entièrement les conventions faites à la der- nière séance du comité, a été re- çu par une explosion d’indigna- tion de toute l'opposition.

M, Lister a voulu se fâcher et brutaliser ces collègues, il a voulu faire le gros policeman, mais personnne n’a eu peur de ses grois airs bourrus.

Sir Hibbert Tupper s’est levé purement et a déciaré que son enquête n’était pas ciose, que M Howell, l'ami de M. Sifton, a- vait seul été entendu et avait seul expliqué l'affaire à sa façon et 1] a annoncé qu'il avait plu- sieurs témoins à faire entendre, entre autres sir Oliver Mowat et il a ajonté que si l’on voulait faire passer de force une motion de blanchissage pour M. Sifton la chambre resterait plutôt en session six mois encore.

Voyant que l'affaire tournait mal, M. Mulock a déclaré qu'il n'insisterait pas sur sa motion si sir Chs. Tupper s'engageait à rouvrir la cause à la prochaine question.

Sir Chs. Tupper a pris cet en- gagement et la motion a été re- tirée. M. Lister est parti et ron-

butter. Breed had nothing to do with the cost, it was allin the cow: Size or color had nothing to do with the cost, it was ali in the cow. We put all the cows that made cheai butter en one side, and ranged the cows who charged the most for butter, on the other side. Ea:h side, no matter what breed, showed similar charact. eristics. Those that charged a high price were the sleek, nice

answer the description of the general purpose and beef cow, while those that made butter cheap, had the genuine dairy type, the light quarters and the heavy, wedse-shaped barrel. Every pound of food consumed was put to good use.

“1t takes just about so much fovd to run the machinery of every Cow. The question is, what does she do with the rest of her food ? 1f she returns it to you in the form of milk, she may be a profitable cow ; if she lays it on her back as fat, she is not a dairy cow. Always avoid the cow that has a tendency to lay on fat; if you want cheap milk production 1 am goiug to tell you how to know a good cow. 1t's a simple matter. One or two signs will denote a good cow, as well as twenty. 1n a poor cow, ths thigh runs down straight, so there is no space between the thigh and udder, on one side, and the tail. One of

the best waye to tell what kind of a cow you have is by her

temperament. À good dairy type has a sharp spine, strongly develeped nervous system, and sharp hip bones. À good cow has 8 large, wedge-shaped sto- mach, for she must have a large and powerful digestive system to use vp her food quickly, and make the best returns for it “Some of thé animalsthe first year made but little over 200 pounds per cow, while other gave over 300 pounds. We have kept up this record every year, and the last year our cows ave- raged 399 pounds per cow, and at a cost of only 42 cents per pound of butter for seed. One cow gave us 512 pounds during the year These Were not picked, high-priced dairy cows, but the comnfon run of dairy stock. You, in Connecticut, have much bettet"types of dairy breeds, as in our country, too much atten- tion has been paid to beef ani-

“We pian to have the cow | come in, in the fall in order that | the werk may be done by the| university students. The cows| are in the stable only about 2 hours per day. They are turned inat5 a.m.,fed and miiked, turne i ont inthe covered baru- yard, where running water and salt are accessible at all times. The yard is kept bedded with | sawdust and shavings, that the cows may not eat any fodder except that given them in the stable. They are turned into the barn at 5 p. m., fed and milkeu, and turned out again.

“We never have a cow off her feed or out of condition, and they are fed all they can con- sume. We feed balanced rations, and study minutely the cost, as we want to get the cheapest possible ration. We save a cent wherever it can be saved. For grain feeds, we use bran and bariy, largely coarse bran ; we hardly censider middlings fit for bedding. Bran is our great grain food.”

When asked if a cow would not eat more than she could di- gest, be said, “No, that is, after a little, provided it is a balanced ration. Let acvow loose at a meal barrel, and she will gorge her- self ; but begin gradually in feeding, and feed a balanced ration, and she will not overeat. W hen she is uptoora little a- bove her fuil capacity, she will begin to leave a little in the manger. This 1he time to watch her, drop off just a littie, and feed all she will eat clean aud with avidity.

“1 take stock inthe Bab:ock test, but not in the theory that you can take the Babcock test under your arm, and go off, and by testing a cow’s milk ouce, determine her value. She must be tested several times du- ring her milking period. You must also know how much food she consumes to know whether or not she is a profitable cow.”

Joseph s’est endormi si pro- fondément en attendant son maître, que celui-ci a pu ren- trer et se coucher sans qu'il se dérangeât. Enfin, il se réveil- le, et, constatant l'heure :

—1l ne rentrera donc pas, ce vieux singe-là !

Une voix sort de l’alcôve :

—Tu peux te coucher, mon ami ; le vieux singe est rentré.

Calino est aux mieux avec sa belle-mère ; ils sont en train de se dire des choses agréables :
