northwestern exposure. though cold ana late,
is less liable to injury from late and early
lrosts, as vegetation in sucn situation IS shell

not suffer so much if it becomes slightly
frozen. II is not the frost that inlgvcs The
plants so much as the direct heat of the sun

other salads are much more easily brought

OF these, in the more Southern climates run
up to seed Immediately if exposed 10 the full

retain its fertility longer, other things being
equal, in northern exposure. 1t is a great
advantage, if the garden slope at all, 10 have

Importance 10 have the soil Of healthy

best soil for general purposes, is a loan Of

S,,,,,nc., Milk--yalue When Fed,

I, "a question often discussed by dairy
men whether they can afford 10 feed 81 immed
milk TO animals, and any experiments show
inr lis value must be Il help to form opinions
and guide future action on this subject. Al
the recent annua meeting 0t the ILLINOIS
State Dairymen Association, MIR. l. Ii. Wan
ger me de a statement giving the result OF ms
experiments in feeding skinned milk. On
the 10Th OF November Ec took five calves
whose united weight was %. pounds, and
five ShOals whose united weight was 49,
pounds. The calves were fed thirty days on
SIX mmed milk, consuming 42O gallons, and
gained during the thirty days 3VO pounds
In the same length OF time the hogs consun'
ed $50 gallons and gained l'3 pounds lie
concludes from this that the hogs are worm
&c per pound the milk Is worth, Us 1000 lor
hogs, At the rate of 2l,c per gallon. The
calves, on the basis OF being worth &c per
mound. would make the milk worth 2ic per
rallon. The value, then, Of skinned mix
when fed to animals, he thinks, Is at least
2l@c per gallon.
Now, if we should assume that gallon OF
SKINNED milk would, on an average, make
three.tourlhs of Il pound ol cheese, and II II
cost lC to - 10 manufacture anu furnlSh II
Tor market when The threelourlhs Oh a
nnund Of cheese would cost &c, or At the rate
of ubout Sc per pound. la other words,
SKINNED milk, when fed to animals yielding
at the rate If PIC per gallon, would give the
tne tairymen the same amount of money
that il would if made into SKINNED cheese
at sc per pound.
If our reasoning and figures are correct
the relative value Of skinned milk for feed
ing or for cheese-making can be easily deter
mined and the profits from one or the Other
procedure Will depend upon the price OBJ
iained for the cheese in market 1t will be
proper to say, however in this connection
that Mr.. Wanzer puts a higher value or
SKINNED milk for feed than that obtained by
some other cxperimentcrs.

1t is a goou practice to keep record OF
facts concerning farm matters that may have
come within the limit OF observation. One
of the best ways to get at the truth is to meet
with nclghbors and compare notes. \ neigh,
Dor may have raised an unusually fine crop
of grass or grain, II 50, inasmuch as the
soil on which it was raised is similar to that
on your own farm, it will pay you to inquire
into the causes that have produced so desira'
ble result. Was it owing to a previous Ju-
dicious rotation Of crops: Was 1t the appll,
cation of BARNARD manure, Perhaps itmay
have been the land. Il 81, what were the
conditions of the soil at the time OF plowing
These are pertinent questions, and every far
