En- DAIRY.
PREPARING RENNET.

1t is always an advantage to the cheese
that the rennet should be prepared some
time before it is wanted for use; an En-
glish dairyman recommended that it be
made in February Or March, and that as
large a quantity be provided as can be con-
veniently done consistently with the size of
the dairy. They find large olive jars useful
for sleeping the %rennet, some of which will
hold thirty gallons. 4 hole is made at the
bottom to draw the renllet, and they think
it much better to be drawn in this way.
from the bottom, than disturbing at the top
by dipping out. A wooden tap should be
used, as the ascidity of the liquid has an in
furious effect on a metal one.
They have a piece of board, with holes
perforated in it, to put into the jar under
the wells or rennets to prevent their getting
to the bottom and obstructing the liquid
running out by getting against the. taps.
The rennet is prepared by first making a
brine strong enough to bear an gg. 1t is
then boiled for half an hour, and, when
quite cold, put into the jan. For every two
gallons of brine six wells are added and one
lemon sliced. An ounce of saltpetre is also
added to every two gallons.
They claim that rennet should always be
prepared at least two months before using.

AN CORA GOATS.

The breeding of the Angora goat for its
fleece is a failure in California, where it has
now been tried twenty years, AS in Ken
lucky and Georgia tor thirty years; and in
France for halta century. In five years af-
ter the Merino sheep had been brought to
California for Wool-growing purposes, the
first importer hadsmade a fortune, and wool
had become a prominent article of exporta-
ton. In twenty years the Angora goat
wool has not been; able to obtain a mention
in the ordinrry annual summaries of ex-
ports. The men who have goats for salesat
high prices tell about shipments of Angora
wool, but the records. or the commercial
newspapers know nothing of them, and the
large shippers of wool and %thesannual wool
circulars take no account of them. So far
Awe are able to learn no herd of goats. in

LIV I Sc <

WE published last week the full proceed
ings of the organization of the Montana
Stock-Growers' association, but the crowd
ed state of Our columns prevented any re-
marks concerning it. The need of an Or
ganization of this character has long been
felt and urged by us. and it is a source OF
pleasure to note the fact of its coming into
existence. The organization so far consists
of a number of the principal stock-groWers
OF nearly every county in the territory. Its
design is to advance and improve the inter-
ests of the stock-growers. The present or
panization is territorial, and the officers
elected are to hold until the first annual
meeting. of the next Territorial fair week.
1t is designed that there shall be organized
in the valleys OF the territory subordinate
organizations, and that the representatives
elected from the subordinate organizations
shall comprise the membership Of the terri
torial association after the election, which
will probably take place on the second day
of the annual September session. The pres
emit members of the territorial association
are expected to associate with the county
or district associations to which they are IN
titled to membership for the present year,
they having already paid their annual fee.
AS will be seen from the constitution, on re-
ceipt ola petition of five s~tock-growers. a
permit will be granted for the district or
county associations. After obtaining the
permit a meeting may be called, officers
elected, and such laws as may be deemed
necessary, may be adopted, each a%ssocia-
ton having the power to adopt rules suited
to it's particular situation and surrounding.
the same to be of course within the consist
ency constitution of the territorial associa-
ton. We take pleasure in giving place to
the list Of officers of the association. 1t is
gratifying to us to see the organization in
such hands. and we trust that it may grow
prosperously and be the means of much
usefulness to the live stock interests of Mon
tana. Application or letters addressed to
either OF the officers will receive prompt at
~tention.

YOUNG HEIFERs AS MIXERS.

W.J. f., a correspondent OF the Country.
Gentleman, makes the following very cor
rect statements in reference to the milking
and management of young W
A young heifer with her first calf should
be MIXED as long as possible, for it will be
difficult to make her give milk later at any
subsequent calving. 10 secure. a longer
flow of milk she may go farror the follow
ing year aud meanwhile be fed bran and
roots rather than meal, so as to discourage
secretion of tat. If heifers calve at two years
old, as they should, the year after should
be devoted largely to increasing the size of
the animal. It is important, while this is
being done, that the growth Of the milk
glands should also be encouraged, In this
way the COW will be as lar &c as needful, and
also be developed to her best capacity as a
mixer.
am strongly inclined to think that the
fall is the best time for a young heifer to
have her first calf. This, of course, is only
where warm basement stables are provided,
with plenty OF rich, succulent food the first
winter. The first flow Of milk may not be
quite as large rs it would be if she calved in
spring !; but coming to grass feed after be-
ing MIXED all winter, a continued large
mess will be insured until midsummer.
Then, with Il little extra iced in August and
later, she may be easily kept n milk until
cold weather comes or a full year after calv-
ing. If a young heifer calves in the spring,
this is much more difficult. There is al
ways a good demand for new mich cows in
the fall, and those which the farmer wishes
to sell should be timed so as to calve then.
The sncculent food which cows get in sum-
mer is better for both COW and calf than the
dry hay, straw and grain which are their
usual winter rations.

PLUERO-PNEUMONIA

WHATEVER may be said about the pres
emit excitement concerning ple%uro-pneumo-
mia, it can not be charged that the action of
the English government has been hasty or
Ml-adyised. That we on this side of the wa
ter teel annoyed by the prohibition of the
importation of living cattle from America
may be natural, but that the Priyy Council
did more than its duty in the premises can
not be said. Believing that the Ontario had
brought the disease, the duty of the officers
Of. that body was very simple. They had
but little, discretionary power They as
sert that the cattle carried by the Ontario
were Enthusiastically afflicted with the dis
ease named. English agricultural papers
are using this case to damage as much as
they can the traffic in American cattle, but
there is little doubt that their excuse is a
plausible one. Ii this stir should result in
the adoption by our government of such
measures as shall effectually put an end to
this disease, and prevent its temperance
here, then the present cutlery will have
proved a very blessing. We will not deny
that America has no organized means for
preventing the spread of pleuro-pneumonia,
but this want arises from the fact that she
has had no reason for believing that disease
existed among her herds. -Ane,icaa Stoch

been offered for sale to Mr.. Kyle at Wa
