COTTON SEED MEAL EXPERIMENTS
Mr.. l.. II. Sheldon, Fair Haven, VT, re-
ports a trial of cotton seed meal, which
shows what il will sometimes do for cows
that arc in milk. He was feeding and
milking fifteen COWS, with a weekly prod.
uct of seventy pounds of butter. The feed
was the usual hay and coarse fodder OF
the farm, with corn aud cob meal, ground
with oats Two quarts of cotton seed
meal was given, in place Of the same
value of the corn and oats, with an in
crease of the butter yield to ninety pounds
per week.
Mr. Sheldon has been thoroughly con
verted to the use of cotton seed, in con-
nection with other grain and fodder. for
butter cows. His neighbors arc also be-
ginning to experiment with it, for the
same purpose. We are not prepared tc
accept the inference that might be drawn
from the above single experiment. as con
elusive evidence that cotton seed meal il
of 80 much greater value, according to III
cost, than the corn and oat provender usec
in the beginning of the experiment. Elk
periments of this kind must be repeated
many times, and under such conditions al
will enable one TO feel very positive thai
the results are due solely to the cotton
seed, and to nothing else.-N o Farmer

CuURNs.-C hurns constructed on the
principle of the old fashioned vertical
dasher are coming extensively into use In
Orange county, N. Y, and have been
introduced in several of the best Con
necticut creameries, where they are pre-
ferred above all others. Those who ust
them clam that the butter is just as good
if not better in every way, than that made
in any of the new.fanglcd churns This
seems to be another instance of practice
stepping in to knock science higher than Il
kite, for the doctors have maintained these
many years that dasner breaks the buttel
globules and Injuries the grain, and Sc
prevents making butter of the best quality
We hope to have this point thoroughly

down in churn containing mass o.

would think to read the cautions abou
breaking the globulcs that they were abou

At recent meeting Of q farmers club
in Massachusetts the question discussed
was, &" How can women best promote the
cause of agriculture2' Hero is the answer
Of one of the members. by making
farmers sous and daughters more willing
to bc farmers. The mothers can do
good deal towards influencing the children
by making the home attractive. They
should be taught that it is not the most
important thing 10 be rich. Make them
feel that farm life is particularly hpnora-
Bile; let them be taught to aspire to the
possession of farm sometime Of their
own, and to respect father because he is u
farmer. Let tho mother study to make
home agreeable for the children.

FEEDING TRoUGHToR POULTRY. When
feeding poultry soft food, it ought always
to be given in II trough. and not on the
ground, rs is customary with many. 1t
Is wasteIul. A trough can be easily made,
rs two long boards, two short ones and II
few eight penny nails, are all that il re-.
qui>td. Nail the edges OF the two long
boards together and nail the short ones
cross the ends. SO rs to hold the trough
in position, and the thing is done; but an
Improvement may be made TO II hv fixing
It s, that the hens can not get into it, to
foul the food; this can be done by mailing
pieces Of lath, say foot long, on 10 Il
narrow board the length OF the trough, 10
IN upright position, and far enough apart
50 that the hens can stick their beads
through To eat when it is sat down over
he feeding trough; this keeps the fool
clean and nice.
When hens need gravel, us they do. to
aid in digesting their food, they will eat it;
hut they should not be compelled to eat il
with their food, when they don't want it.
