SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN

Thirty-fOurth Heer,
THt MOST POPULAR SCIENTIFIC PAPER
in the World. Only $500 q Year.
Weekly. 81 Numbers Year.
1900 Book Pages.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1881-12-02

An interesting paper has lately been pub
lished by Prof. O. A. Cameron, in the July
number OF the Scientific Proceedings of the
Royal Dublin Society, on the composition of
the milk of cows During the winter quar-
ter of 1880 analyses were made of the milk of
~ COWS, which were kept at the Government
agricultural institution known as the Albert
Farm, at Glasnevin, in the county of Dublin.
The mornings and the evenings milk of each
COW were each analysed once. and mn exnmi-
nation of the mixed milk of the ~ cows was
also made on Dec. IL, 1890 The COWS were
good animals, having from one to three
crosses of the Shorthorn breed. They were
in the house during the period of the expert
ments their food consisted of daily allow
ance of about nine stone of pulped mangels
and turnips, with brewery grains, together
with about one stone of hay. Their ages
ranged from 4 to . years. Dividing them in
to two groups-those aged and years and
those aged s aud 8 years--a marked differ
ence in favor of the milk of the latter, both
in quantity and quality, was noticed. This,
however, might easily be accounted for by
the process of artificial selection; for while
it is only mich COWS that would be kept in
the dairy for several years, the younger ones,
proved not TO be good mixers, would be put
into the fattening stalls.
The belief that milk becomes deteriorated
in quality toward the end of lactation was
not supported by these experiments. The
quantity naturally became scanty, but the
quality improved. The average yield Of milk
was for each COW III quarts. Iu every in
stance the quantity of milk yielded in the
morning exceeded the proportion furnished in
the evening, eight hours intervening between
the milkings. Thirty out of the ~ cows gave
richer milk in the evening, while the remain
ing cows milk was equally good at both milk
ings. The increase in the amount of solid
matters in the evenings milk was chiefly due
to the large amount of fats contained in the
latter
The results of these analyses showed that
the milk of well-fed cows in houses in the last
quarter of the year contains, when poorest,
1890 per cent Of solid matter, including 4. &c
per cent of fats. The Society of Public An
alysts of Great Britain and Ireland have adopt
ed as a standard for the poorest pure milk
per cent of solids against fats, and 20 per
cent. of fats-a total of 11.5 per cent.

fertilizer, IL should be oomposted with I'M
leached wood ashes, which will supply the de-
ficiency both Of potash and phosphoric acid
This composing also effects the decomposi-
ton Of the muck, so rs TO set free its nitrogen

is fully equal, bulk for bulk, to good stable
manure as n fertilizer for corn, potatoes or
any other hoed crop. II has also proved an
excellent top.dressing for grass. We're our
swamp drained, we could put this compost on
the land at cost Of not over seventy five
cents per thirty five bushel load, or half the
cost Of stable manure when we can get it.
The unlimited supply Of such cheaply pre-
pared manure would double the value of our
farm. As it is, the difficulty of hiring men
to work in this wet swamp is great obstacle
to its use. But the abundant crop of beauti-
full, fair potatoes, especially which we are
sure to get from land dressed with this fertil-
izer, makes us feel that a moderate quantity
annually is indispensable.
