EXTENSIVE SHEEP WALKS.

A correspondent of the London Telegraph
thus discourses upon some of the sheep
farms of Victoria, Australia. If the prices
mentioned as realized for lands in this
Oceanic empire are correct we think West
ern farmers will not soon care to leave their
fertile fields for this paradise of shepherds.
Thirteen million Of acres have been sold,
average price e5 an acre: $4,000, 900 OF
acres, for the most part inferior soil, are of
fered for sale under certain conditions of
proclamation and residence, at an upset
price Of FL an acre. OF the $4,000. 900 al
ready alienated 5000, 900 employ 1000 men,
at an average wage of $40 a year each. The
l3,000,O0 0 of acres, therefore, feed 1900,
1000 of whom are servants, living in back
huts tar from schools, and having no enjoy
ment save a drinking bout, and 300 of whom
draw incomes varying from 100000 to
100000 a year. There are in the most fer.
tile districts of Victoria two townships
named respectively Ararat and Camper
down. The soil in this part of the country is
OF the finest and deepest volcanic formation,
and not to be surpassed in any part of the
world. Clover and English grasses grow
luxurlantly by merely scratching the seeds
on the sod. and the land is watered by fresh
springs and never-failing lakes. Two mill
ion Of human beings could be supported in
comfort upon these fertile plains. Yet to
travel from Ararat to Camperdown is a
matter of difficulty, so closely do the estates
of the shesp-farmers adjoin each other. At
skipton, Phillip Russell presses the village
close with an estate of $4,000 acres, which is

THE DAIRY.
EXPERIMENTS WITH MILK.
lectOr.

Mr.. VIM. Cooley, of Vermont, has been
making some interesting experiments with
milk, to determine the quickest method to
obtain cream and have in the best condition
for making butter. He commenced setting
milk at 100 degrees, and maintaining it at
that temperature until the milk soured,
noting carefully the quantity of cream, and
the time it was raising he then set other
samples ats9s0 degrees, following the same
course as above then at so, then at 10, then
at 60, then at So, then at so. then at 45, then
then at 40, and finally at 81, this being as
low as he could carry the temperature by
the use of ice.
By these experiments he found that the
lower he carried the temperature the faster
the cream would rise until he arrived at 40
degrees, or The greatest density OF water,
the best results being attained at between 40
and 45 degrees, if the milk was cooled i'm
mediately after being drawn from the COW.
Dir. Cooley sums up his conclusions: If
we van cream to rise quickly, and in the
best possible condition for making a first
class article of butter, we must cool the
milk thoroughly, Immediately after milking
down to at least 40 degrees, and the nearer
we approach to this, the better will be the
result.

TO ASCERTAIN THE WEIGHT OF LIVE
CATTLE -

1t is often important for those who are
not experienced judges by the eye. to have
some means besides the scales of ascertain
ing the weight of cattle while living, and by
following these approved directions this can
be done with a mere trifie.
Take a string, put it around the breast,
stand square, just behind the shoulder blade;
measure on a foot rule the feet and inches
the animal is in circumference this is called
the girth then, with the string. measure
from the bone of the tail which plumbs the
line with the hinder part of the buttock {.
direct the line along the back to the fore
paE t of the shoulder blade; take the dimen-
sions on the foot rule as before, which is the
length and work the figures in the follow
ing manner: Girth Of the bullock. say six
feet four inches length, five feet three
inches; WHICH multiplied together, make 81
square superficial feet and that multiplied
by % (this number OF pounds allowed to
each superficial foot of cattle measuring less
than seven and more than ~tive,feet in girth,
make 713 pounds. Where the animal meas
ures less than 8 and more than Z in girth,
81 is the number of pounds to each super
cial foot. Again, suppose a pig or any
small beast should measure two feet in girth
and two along the back, which multiplied
together, make four square feet; that null
tiplied by II, the number of pounds allowed
each square foot of cattle measuring less
than 3 feet,in girth, make NJ pounds. Again,
suppose a.calf, a sheep, ETC.. should meas-
ure 4, feet 6 inches in girth, and B feet nine
inches in length, which multiplied together,
make 154 square feet that multiplied by
Is, the number of pounds allowed to all cat
tie measuring less than..5 feet, and more
than, 3 in girth, makes 265 pounds, The di-
mansions of the girth aud length OF black
cattle, sheep, calves or hogs may be as ex-'
actly taken this way as it is at all necessary
for any computation or any valuation OF
stock, and will answer exactly to the our
quarters, sinking the ofal, a sum which ey-
cry man, who can get even a bit OF chalk
can easily figure.

so, but the animals themselves need close
watching, that the first indication thai there
is something amiss may be observed and
immediate treatment be given. In case
anything is observed to go wrong, the first
thing to be lone is to clear out the bowels
by an active saline purgative-S tolls ounces
of epson salts is generally the most effec-
tive and the safest that can be given. After
this, copious drinks of very thin Cruel OF
bran, linseed-meal, or oatmeal. may be Civ
en- with benefit. VAS q rule bleeding is to be
strictly avoided as a dangerous resource and
an almost. if not altogether, fatal mistake.

DOES RICH FEED MAKE RICH MILK?

A correspondent to the RurGt World
writes as follows:
81 noticed an article in the dairy depart
ment Of a late issue which says that a cow
can be made to produce greater quantity
and better quality of milk or butter, which
does not quite agree with my experience.
Experience has taught me that a low can
be made to produce more milk, but not any
better, by the addition Of corn meal, carrots,
oi-cake, shipstnff, etc. Take, for instance,
a Jersey COW (the Jersey is acknowledged
by the majority of intelligent dairymen to be
the richest milk-producing stock in exist
ence) feed hey on straw alone, and her
milk will be just as rich AS it fed on corn
meal, oil-cake or anything else. But the
quantity will be very deficient. In he
same stable place an Ayrshire or any Other,
cow that produces more quantity than quail
ity !; give her the richest food, and her milk
will be the same in point Of quality, but the
paid will be swelled considerably. A COW
can be made to produce more by an addi-
ton OF rich food, with plenty of it, but not
better; and it pays largely. Those who are
not prejudiced, will find an experiment
well worth a trial.

PREVENTION OF ANIMAL DISEASE.

The New, York Times takes up the sub
7ject of the prevention Of disease in animals.
and gives some valuable hints worthy of the
attention of all live stock owners. After al
Iuding to the wide damage caused by dis
ease, the article says:
There is no doubt that the losses OF sheep,
awine and cattle, that might be prevented
by proper precautions and care, amount to
,Cne-fifth of the whole value OF these classes
of stock. One hundred million of dollars
yearly would not more than cover these
losses. The greatest misfortune is that
much disease is spread by infection and con-
tagion among herds and tiocks that would
otherwise escape. Animals are subject to
all the dangerous influences which effect the
health of human beings. Miasma, malaria,
exposure to sudden and severe changes of
temperature; the consumption of innutri-
tious or indigestible food or impure water;
overlooking, underfeedmg, or irregular feed

DIET AND MILK.

Inc Susceptibility Of the milk glands OF
animals to take up any substance from the
blood, has led some French homeopathic
physician to administer, the drugs to goats
ana cows giving milk, and administer the
milk in the Gaze OF some tanciful patients. at
least so it is stated. AS showing the ease
VIII which certain substances may be re-
celved into the milk Of animals, the follow
ing experiments, as reported to have been
tried on u goat, will be interesting: Half a

>~uu ouly to offer suggestions wl4lcli are per
tinent at this season for the preservation of
she health of animals that may be exposed
to danger.
The present season is peculiarly full of
risk. 1t is one when, sudden changes OF
temperature occur; when the surface soil is
highly. charged with d~ecomposing vegeta-
BILE matter, the gases from which are absorb
ed by water or mingled with the atmos
phere, and thus have an active effect upon
the systems OF animals; and. also, a period
when the herbageis hard, innutritious, ,indi-
gestible, or positively hurtfnl from partial
decomposition. The stratum of air resting
upon meadows and pastures, either drained
or undralnsd, but more particularly those
in the latter condition, is filed with MAS
matte or malarial germs which are breathed
by animals and enter into their circulation.
The water they drink is also highly charged
with these minute destructive organisms.
Although these may not of themselves in all
cases induce disease directly, yet they en-
feeble the vitality and create a more sensi-
tive condition, in which animals become an
easy prey to contagion or Infection. HUI
man being under these circumstances avoid
all dangerous or deleterious articles of food
or drink !; they ventilate, disinfect, and pu-
Iify their dwellings; they observe caution
Is to changes of clothing and fortify them
selves with medicines or uonics against the
approaches of disease, and avoid with the
greatest care all danger of contagion. But
what owners of animals observe these pre-
cautions? Very few, it any. Nothing is
done until the animal is stricken, and then,
the worst has already happened. 10 treat
Ar animal that gives no sign until it is at
the point Of death is useless. {
There is no help for these cases but in pre-
caution. 1t such sanitary rules are observed
i'm thy stables and yards as are practiced in
dwellings, the danger of disease would be
greatly reduced. Ii precautions as to food
and water were taken, if unwholesome pas
lures were lett unoccupied, if cleanliness in
feeding were practiced, and no animal was
PERMITTED, much less obliged, to diink or
eat filth Of any kind, the natural robustness
and hardness of our cattle would carry
them safely through a multitude of milder
dangers. At this change of the seasons,
when. so much dead matter is going tc de-
cay. it is necessary to exercise great watch
fnlness in regard to these things. Not only
