Il pays to feed well. Let me give
you q case. Having a good lot of cows,
which / have bred and reared myself
and trained them well to be kind and
gentle in every way, / do not like to
part with them. But having q few more
than l could well take care of this year
! rented out five of them to a neighbor.
One of these lows is q cross-bred pure
Ayrshire and Jersey, and with her first
calf gave eight pounds of butter in the
first weeks churning; with her second
calf she gave 124 pounds the first week
after the milk was kept, (the calf was
fed on skinned milk only. This COW
Is now six years old, and in her prime.
The man complained of her and said
she was q poor COW. what feed do
you give herp" "No feed at all
but the pasture in the swamp
meadow; and she milks only four
quarts a day." l brought the cow
home, and she was q mere skeleton in
a bag of loose skin. The first milking
was three pints.. l began to feed her
as l knew she deserved. 1 gave her
two quarts of fine ground corn-meal and
middlings mixed with cut sweet corn
fodder three times a day, with what
grass the pasture would afford. The
fourth day she MIXED nine quarts, the
seventh day 113'quarts; the first four
days her milk made three pounds of
butter; the last three days it has made
four pounds seven ounces This is not
her full yield, as she is putting on flesh,
and will do so until she weighs $50 or
200 pounds more than she did when she
came home.
If We figure this up the profit on this
feed can be shown very easily. Four
quarts a day at five cents-the price at
which her milk has been sold all sum-
mer-is 20 cents. That is the value
of swamp meadow feeding. Eleven
and a half quarts a day is equal to 573
cents; the feed costs Is cents, so that
this 10 cents gives 224 cents profit.
And to me the satisfaction of the thing
is worth a good deal more than adollar
a day would be-, for 1 certainly have a
good deal of regard for my cows, which
l have reared from the first, and each of
which is a pet and regards me with
evident kindliness and affection. At
the rate shown by these figures ten
cows would return 1926 daily profit
for the expenditure of $3.50, which is
in itself as much as many a mechanic
in a city is obliged to support his whole
family upon. And vet there are
farmers and dairymen who are grcwl-
ing every day of their lives that farming
does not pay. 1 wish some of them
would change places with some of the
people in towns and cities whom they
profess to envy so much. What a mis-
take they would make.-N. Y. Times.

Cheese has for a long time been col
ored with anatto, and of late years it
has come in use, not only in creameries,
but in home diaries, to give color to
butter. The increasing use of the sub
stance, especially in winter, naturally
leads many to ask: What is anatto,
and is it harmlessp" The name, which
came with the substance from south
America, has a great variety of spell
ings besides that given above, which
is the simplest and the one we first
learned; it is given in different books
IS annatto, annata, ~annotta, ~arnotto,
arnota, and so on. The substance is
tree, Bixa orellana, belonging to q
small family to which it gives its name
(Bixine@), of which we have no repre-
sentatives. systematically, the family
is placed near that of the violets. The
tree rarely exceeds twelve feet in
height, has a handsome head, and each
branch is terminated by a cluster Of
flowers of the color of peach-blossoms.
The pods are at first of a fine rose
color, becoming brown as they ripen;
they are covered with bristles, and con-
tain numerous seeds, the importantpro-
duct. Each seed is surrounded by q
dark red pulp, to remove which they
are placed in water and allowed
to ferment, with frequent stirring.
When the seeds are free from
pulp, they are strained out, and
the pulp allowed to settle. It is after
wards placed in kettles, e~vaporated to
a thick paste, which is the anatto of
oOunvnoroo t. 10 r,oJo into ,c11s rua;rb-
ing two to four pounds, which are COW
cred with Gamma leaves and packed in
wicker baskets, OF more generally of
late, in boxes. Anatto, when fresh, has
much the consistency of putty. a dark,
brownish-red color, and with a some
what disagreeable odor. 1t has long
been used In dyeing, though on silks the
color is not very fast. To color com
mon cotton stnffs of q dull orange, it is
often used in domestic dyeing, with
potash al a mordant. So far as we are
aware, the various butter colorings in
the market are chiefly, If not entire
ly, solutions of anatto, made by the aid
OF some form of potash or soda. 1t
seems better suited than anything else
to give pale winter butter the color of
that made when the cows have good
pasturage. It is entirely harmless, we
think. It has long been added to
chocolate in South America, fer bc3h
color and flavor, and is used by Indian
tribes in that country to paint their
bodies. One writer says that it is about
thu only clothing the natives have to
protect them from mosquitoes and other
insects.-AmerIcan AgricuHursst.

tempOrarie5 OF the same mind az itself

Vermont and Massachusetts, and
parts OF other states away from
the mau from Maine. while Con-
necticut tying fast to IIawiey leaves
Blaine the scaut twelve votes of Maine
out OF the whole Of Republican New
England. Mr.. Blaine has recently ex-
pressed the opiniOn-having reference TO
Arthur's position In New York, Of
course-that if anyt ody else than him
self could get one delegate from Maine.
he would not he a candidate. But the
friends OF Arthur with more force might
retort that Arthur shows up better in
New York than Blaine in New Eng
land, aud New York has within six as
many votes in the convention ~ the
whole of the New England states 1t is
a significant fact that where Blaine is
best known he Is weakest.
