THE DAIRY.

TIE Aylesbury (England) Dairy Com
pany offer prizes to farmers whose milk
supply stands highest in quality be-
tween October and March 81, the tests
to be made at the company's laborato-
ry, Bayswater, by skilled chemist,
whose whole time, the British Medical
Journal says, Twill be given to the
study of the conditions under which
the best qualities of milk are produced,
and the variations noticeable at the
different seasons of the year in relation
to the food made use of and to the other
scientific conditions involved in the
production of milk, cream and but
ter"
BARLEY is an excellent food for cows,
producing good and rich milk. 1t can
be mixed with shorts in equal proper
tions. But it will pay you better to
sell the barley and buy corn, as barley
brings more for forty-five pounds than
corn does for sixty pounds in the mar
ket. A COW may have four pounds OF
corn or barley meal and four pounds of
shorts daily; if she is good mixer
she will pay better for this than for
half as much. But as no one can say
what effect the feed will have on any
particular cow, it is well to try differ
ent quantities, beginning at two quarts
at a feed, and varying up or down until
the capacity of each cow is known.
COOP cheese is always close-grained,
cuts smooth, but has a slight regular
roughness of surface, yields to the
pressure of the finger, breaks easily,
but does not crumble, has smooth,
elastic rind, breaks down mellow and
rich, but with no harsh feeling be-
tween the thumb and the finger, dis
solves readily in the mouth, but has
no strong or rank flavor, and leaves a
relishable taste. Most people like
such cheese, but seldom getting it,
they fancy that cheese has for them no
special relish. If only such cheese
were thrown on the market the home
consumption would double in a year,
and in a few years it would be ten-fold
what it now is. 1t is great mistake
to keep home consumers feeding upon
the inferior grades of cheese, and it is
a greater mistake to make cheese of
oleomargarine, or in any way increase
the amount of the inferior grades.
PROF. SHELDON believes that on al
most any land, of whatever kind or
quality, it will pay man to give grain
to his cows-that is, the cows win be
all the better for a little dry concen-
trated food along with the bulky sue
culent grass; they will be the healthier
and stronger, and SO will give more
and richer milk. And the more grain
or cake man uses, within limits, the
more cows he may keep. and the richer
his land may become year by year.
There is, in fact, no better way of i'm
proving grass land than by consuming
cake upon it. 1t may be true that
nothing is equal to grass of good quail
ity for producing milk; but even of a
good thing it is possible to have too
much. and change of food-even a
change of pasture-gives, as every in
telligent dairy-faImer knows, flip
which is found in the milk-pail. Try
it. Prof. Sheldon says he can recon-
mend it.

TransDlanting.

Dealers in plants, remarks the New
England Times, will hear many COM
plants this year from customers, offail-
ure and will be asked to duplicate orders,
but in most cases the fault is with the
buyer rather than the seller. Plants
cannot live and grow in soil that is as
dry as dust and little sprinkling of
the surface now and then is often worse
for the plants than no watering what
ever. 1t should be remembered in set
ting plants, that they must take moisture
chiefly, if not wholly, through their
roots, and in order to do this. the earth
must be moist down where the roots
are. 1t must also be remembered that
water cannot rise from the subsol and
moisten the upper portion, unless the
latter is compact enough to carry the
moisture from particle to particle by
capillary attraction. A plant set in q
very dry, light soil, should, at the time
of setting, have its roots first wet so
that the dry dirt will adhere closely to
every portion of root surface. Then,
after pressing the soil firmly around the
plant, water enough should be poured
on to wet down the moist soil. Then
If the surface is covered by dry dirt,
there will be q perfect connection"
as the telephone operators and light
ning-rod men express it, between the
roots and the moist earth, while diffu-
sion of moisture by evaporation will be
prevented to a considerable degree by
the dry earth, which acts as a mulch
on the surface.
1t is not the quart of water one ap-
plies to a newly-set plant alone that
saves it, but it is the throughfare
which such quart of water establishes
through the soil from the lower moist
strata upward and through which the
moisture travels on its way to the sur
face, and yielding portion to the roots
that are met in its course. Skillful
gardeners will transplant at almost any
season of the year but then they under
stand the laws of plant growth and sur
round it with the conditions necessary
to success. ,-r--.

Building Up q Trade.

The family had only lately moved
into the neighborhood. A day or so
after their arrival the head of the fami-
ly went to the grocery in the neighbor-
hood and asked the price of can of
condensed milk. Fifteen cents"
said the proprietor. Fifteen devilsr'
said the customer. "why, man alive,
don't want to buy q dozen cans, but
only one. What do you ask for half a
can, wholesale fgures?" Never sell
half can" 81 reckon you never sell
anything if you mark your goods up
that way. Suppose take one whole
can, win you come down to a dimer
Fifteen cents is the usual price,"
That may be with unreliable transient
customers, but am an old citizen of
Galveston, and the store that captures
my permanent trade will have to be en-
larged within six months. Say dime,
and throw in a pound or SO of soda
crackers and its whack." "Do you
buy great deal in the course Of q
yearr' asked the proprietor, with a
sneer. "Do 1 buy great deal? 1
should say 1 did. Why, it won't be
more than two months before I'll have
to get another box of matches. The
box am using from now is more than
half gone, and I only got it last Febru-
ary, late in February, too. Say q dime
for the condensed milk, and one of
them stale watermelons thrown in as q
sorter of an inducement, and you can
put these two nickels in your burglar

est price," al wish you could see my
blacking brush. 1t can't hold out over
Christmas, and then / am bound to
negotiate for a new one. Throw one
box of blacking in with the condensed
milk, and it's a transaction" 81 won't
do it." "All right! You won't do it.
I'll just keep my eye on you. I'll bet
your stock is insured for twice what it s
worth. and you are going to have a fire
pretty soon. When a merchant don't
care to build up trade, he is fixing to
fail or to swindle somebody, somehow.

Sun spots were noticed by the Arabs
in the eighth century, and many centu-
ries ago the Chinese observed dark
spots on its surface. In Europe, how
ever, no precise observations were
made previous to the invention of the
telescope. In 16Ie, Harriet was the
first astronomer to observe them, and
the next year Calico also saw them,
but neither one nor the other observed
their motion. In 1911, Fabricus, a
Dutch observer, saw spots on the sur
face of the sun. and, after several days,
was satisfied that only the rotation of
the sun could explain their motion.
Later in the same year, Scheiner, at
Ingolstadt, made observations, and

the estimate is made that it is
more profitable for farmers to sell un-
shelled corn in the fall at rs cents
than at 81 bushel in the follow ing
summer, and that wheat s1.25 in De-
cerhber is equal to $3.50 in The sue

But if they only knew the real facts
how much hard labor is done by the

graluitous, for which not even thanks
are received; how they are misiudged
