THE DAIRY.

The Influence of good feeding. good

low of milk, is we'll illustrated by the
Channel Islands cattle ON these
islands the COW is the pet of the house

developed solely by the extra solicitudo
shown for her.
We find the following good bit of adj
vice going the rounds of our OK
changes: Bcttcr To borrow money
with which to buy COWS and young
thrifty calves than To go in debt for
machinery that * not absolutely indiS-
pcusablc The first will continue 10

NcmrU tolls how he ovCrcamC the
trouble of cream foaming in churn'"g
and the butter being hard To come; Il
had four gallons Of cream three days
old, in carthcn Jars, put into room
where the thermometer stood NJ eighty
degrees The milk when put into the
chmrn was at siNty-livo degrees, and
the Churn sixty degrees; this was in n
room at eighty degrees. In fifteen
minutes the butter was ready to bo
taken ont of the Churn and ns pretty,
yellow butter rs ever saw. This GER
tainly pays for heating n room and hav-
ing the milk nj right temperature. v
Henry Ward Bccchcr pays his
apuStrophc To the never 10 Lc forgotten
village COW. In appearance, he says,
she is cross between an old hair
trunk and an abandoned hoop skirt,
and after consuming his garden a
ncighbor comes over and says Now,
| don't desire any quarrel, but | want
YOU tu keep your cow out of my shrub
berry, And want you, my friend,
said |. "to keep your shrubbcry out Of
my COW, il spoils the taste of the milk"
| He then sadly remarks Ever after
/ that there was n GOODNESS between us,
and my neighbor's wic ceased TO
patronizc our house when she wanted
to borrow II cupful of yeast. "
1t is the general belief among
| farmers that milk for calves should be
! slightly warmed, at least To the tom
pcraturC natural when taken from the
cow The calves will drink il more
freely at this warmth When. how
ever, the heating is done on the stove
il is apt to bc warmer than new milk.
This is injurious. Milk that has been
scaldcd is sconstipating, even when given
| cold. II the calf takes food much
above the temperature of the stomach
the digestive organs will bc weakened.
! Too warm food and drinks are fruitful
causes of dyspepsia in men and women,
! and will be in farm animals If the lat
| ter are subject TO their Influences. -

Cheese as Food.

Cheese. when properly made, and
thoroughly cured, so that all Of its sub
stance is available for food has twiCo
the value of butchers meat for sustain
ing life, and is quite rs easily digested,
and as wholesome. But all cheese,
even whom well cured, is not equal to-
its highest possibilities. Many circum-
stances interfere with its perfection.
I'm the first place, good cheese can only
be made out of good milk. and this IL
not always at the command Of the
cheese maker. The milk which was
good when IL came from the COW may
not be so when il reaches the cheese
vat; it may be sour or stale, or I'M
clcanly; and, further, milk itself is
liable TO wide variations in its con
stitucnts, thereby varying the quality
IF cheese made from it. But these are
only accidental Irregularities, that are
not always present, and cheese made
from milk which is free from them
should not be condemned ON their
account They are avOidablc. and
do not, in fact. give much ground
for complaint against the use OF cheese.
There other things connected with the
use Of cheese equally avO.dablc, which
give rise TO grounded complaints,
that are telling heavily against It's good
name and usc. Bearing in mind tho
indgestble. and consequently unwhole-
some, condition of newly pressed curd,
or, as il is called. green cheese, and
remembering that this condition only
abates gradually, as the cheese ad-
vanccs in curing, the ill effects Of put
ting IL into consumption too soon.
while it is yet in It's green state, will bo
understood Those who arc at all IA
miliar with tho traffic in cheese know
very we'll that much Of the cheese Of
commerce, when IL goes into cOnsump-
ton, is too impcrfcctly cured tO have
its food value fully avail able. IL is 20
indigcsliblc rs TO be unhcalthful, and
it is used at n loss bccause much of 10
is not digcstcd at all. Thus the prac-
tice of thrusung green cheese upon the
markets gives rise ~ Just grounds for
objections 10 its hcalthfulnc-s and value
and greatly restricts its consumption,
all Of which would be- obviated by re-
tanning the goods in the curing room
Ull they are iit for use. Prof. T.. n.
