THE DAIRY.

The quantity of milk COW gives
depends much upon the mode, time and
regularity of milking. Cows do best
;hat have one regular mixer, and at
The time of milking should be carefully
attended to, and not be subjected to
variation from day to day.
"A writer says that he has never
failed to cure garget by the use of beans.
He feeds one pint of bean meal, mixed
with other meal, for four successive
days, and has found that quantity suf-
ficient to cure the worst cases. He
thinks if COWS were fed with bean meal
several times a year they would never
be, troubled with garget. t.t
The following is one of the best
recipes we know of for making cow
give an abundance of milk: ''Give her
every day water slightly warmed and
slightly sailed, in which bran has been
stirred at the rae of one quart to two
gallons of water" If the bran is real
city bran, with no shorts or middlings
in it, then add double handful of oat
or corn meal. You will be surprised at
the effect on the milk-yield, though we
will not guarantee the twenty-five per
cent. increase claimed by writer in the
Southern FGrmer.-Amerjcan Dairy
man.
If the dairyman feeds his cows on
cabbage or they get hold of wild onion,
how quickly the taste is discovered in
the butter! Fresh grass or clover i'm
parts high rich and aromatic flavor
that everybody likes. This suggests the
idea that the quality of butter depends
Immediately upon the character of the
cows food, and should put the cautious
dairyman upon his guard to see that his
COWS cannot get at any kind of food
that will injure the quality of the milk.
Hence he should be sure to destroy all
the weeds in his pasture even more
carefully than he does in his corn-feld;
and as water, when tainted, will work
the same evil as bad food, he should see
that only pure article is within reach
of the cows.-EIgjn AdUOcate.

1t is a singular fact, says the Amerj-
can Ctticator, that gypsum or plaster
of Paris is so little used. The cheapest
of all mineral fertilizers, and the one
best adapted to clover, its use rarely
extends far beyond the localities where
it is dug and ground There its cheap
ness insures q large use by neighboring
farmers, who find it very profitable.
Probably farmers at distance could
do as well with it, and they could at
least give it repeated trials to learn to
what crops it is best adapted.

Sources of Bad Flavor in Butter.

Much butter is worthless because of
some bad flavor about it. The causes
of this are various. Browsing on weeds
in the pasture may effect the taste of
the butter. Impure water which the
COW is obliged to drink sometimes may
be the cause Prof Law, of Cornell
University, finding the cream on his
milk to be ropy, examined it with a
microscope, and discovered that it was
infested with living organisms. Carry
ing his investigation further, he found
that the herd had drunk the water of a
stagnant pool located in a muddy swale
The water of the pool was found to
contain the same organism as the milk
did. Mr.. Willard related an instance
where the milk in the vat in a cheese
factory during the heating of the curd
gave off smell like that of stagnant
water. 1t was found that one of the
farmers supplying cream had allowed
his cows to pass through q narrow
slough, the mud of which adhered to
their udders. Particles of dust from
this mud got into the pals at milking
time, introducing fungi from the slough,
which multiplied in the milk and spoiled
the whole OF 1T, giving 1t the odor of
foul water. Inhaling the odor of pu-
trid flesh may faint the milk andimpart
bad taste to the butter. Setting milk

odor of vegetables, or food, or the
fumes of cooking OF tobacco smoke may
impair the taste of the butter The
flavor of the butter may be spoiled
after it is made by being exposed to
odors, or by being packed in tubs which
have not been properly cleansed, or by
being kept in room where there is
kerosene oil, or other bad smelling
substance. Thus it will be seen that
there are many ways in which the
flavor of butter may be spoiled. The
butter maker, being mindful of all these
dangers, should renew his diligence and
increase his vigilance in guarding his
product from all such sources of con
tamination.-E TchG1lqe.

Feeding Cows for Milk.

To the milk producer the quantity of
milk each COW produces is an important
item, and how he shall obtain that re-
suit is the question for him to solve. Can
quantity be obtained, or increased, ex-
cept at the expense of quality? Every
experienced dairyman will answer this
in the affirmative. A COW may be con-
sidered a machine for producing milk.
She must be properly fed and cared for,
or the result is unsatisfactory; it is as
vain to expect that COW will give milk
without sufficient and proper food, as to
expect the steam engine to afford power
without sufficient water and fuel. If
we feed the steam boiler with water in
excess, or in insufficient quantity, and
only fuel enough to merely keep the
water warm, it is vain to look for power;
and so it is to give COW only Just food
enough to keep her alive without starry
ing. If milk is desired in quantity, the
cow must be fed surplus beyond the
other needs of the system, or all the
rest is loss. Lthink it is calculated that
about two-thirds of all COW eats is
needed to maintain her existence; all
the profit comes from the other one
third, and too often this is withheld
entirely.
The best of milk-producing food
should be provided and fed in abund-
ance at all seasons while the COWS are
giving milk; roots, grain and the best of
hay and fodder during winter and good
pasture with partial soiling during sum-
mer. This will necessitate the growing
OF green crops like amixture of peas and
oats, rye, Hungarian grass, corn or
clover for summer and dry time. Corn
meal is good for quality, but bran or
middlings should make the larger half
or two-thirds of the grain ration.
would leave cottonseed meal out, ornot
feed over half pint mixed with the
other grain, at feeding Corn and
oats ground together make an excellent
grain ration. In feeding green corn
fodder l would cut the stalks finely and
mix with it the meal and grain, and
allow them to soften somewhat before
feeding. Hard glazed cornstalks, fed
whole, are apt to make the teeth sore,
fed freely.-W. II. White, IN Cou7tg.y

Are Trichina Killed by Salt 2

The prohibition of the importation of
American pork by the German Govern
ment, on account of the alleged pres
.ence Of the microscopic worm known
as trichine has awakened large de-
gree OF interest among pork raisers and
shippers in this country. That trichinA

doubted. That proper cooking of meats
for food destroys them is unquestion-
able. That all authenticated cases of
injury to health arising from the pres
ence of this microscopic worm were
traced to the eating of uncooked or half
raw meat is fact. But that the sailing
OF meat destroyed the parasite is still a
matter of doubt, or, at least, it is a sub
ject of dispute.
On this point United States Consul
John Wilson, stationed at Brussels,
makes some statements, based on his
own observations. He SAYS:
Il have myself been present when
otficl,, " appointed microscopes at
some of the abattoirs of this country
have been engagedin examining Ameri-
can pork for trichine, and have been
invited by these gentlemen to see for
myself, through their microscopes, the
peculiar cell and spiral coil of the ami
NAL; but on carefully examining them
have only observed blended with the
tissue and minute salt crystals the en-
tombed animal. evidently as destitute
OF life as the structure in which it was
embedded
g 1t is claimed by most trichinic OBJ
servers that the process of generation
and birth of this little animal invariably
takes place in the stomach and intesti-
nal canal, and that within a few DAYS
from its birth it has so matured as to
penetrate the walls of the intestines and
rapidly make its way through the vari-
Gus intervening structures to the remote
muscular tissue of the animal it infects.
there to be speedily encysted and en-
doWed with a subsequent dormant eX-
istence of several years, during which
time its presence occasions little or no
Inconvenience. OF this theory of the
lie and movements of this little worm
L can only say that it involves an almost
unparalleled exception to the law gen
orally regarded as determining animal
life, and ought not to be accepted but
upon tle noSO positive proof The law
governing parasitic existence in living
tissue usually involves the speedy death
OF the parasite after the pabulum upon
which it feeds has passed from under
the domain of vital force; hence, unless
this tipy worm constitutes an exception
to this law, its life must. be. short after
the organic structure upon which it
feeds has ceased to live. - .
Consul Wilson very pertinently adds
that "if salt really kills trichine, and
of it have scarcely a doubt, it is evil
IDENTITY an injustice on the part of foreign
governments to lay an embargo on our
pork product, which, of all others, in
order to secure it against decomposition
on long journey to foreign markets,
is better sailed than that of any other
