"A COW drinking milk should never
be allowed to drink any water which
would not be fit for those to drink who
use the milk of that COW. AS well
drink the water from filthy barn yard
pool as allow a cow to drink that water
and then drink her milk.--Hoard S

"A writer to an English journal says:
have been used to the Ayrshire cow in
her native country. and now have a
herd in the South. / have seen her
tried side by side with the Short-horns
and some other breeds. and | have no
hesitation whatever in saying that,
taking the cost of production into ac-
count. the Ayrshire is the best all-round
dairy COW in the British Islands.
The one word that comprehends
the secret of managing cows to a profit
is comfort" Every dairyman in the
land ought to remember that anything
that tends to promote the discomfort of
his cows, no matter what, tends to re-
duce the profit. There is no escape
from this. The giving of milk is a
maternal function, and the condition of
maternity is peculiarly sensitive to dis
comfort. Hoard's Dairgmdn.
"A chemical analysis of Chicago
cheese, known as Chicago flats" de-
velops the fact that it is more than half
water, and that it contains but very
little fat, though considerabl albumin

manufacture. 1t is the opinion of Pro-
fessor Webbert, of the Ohio State Uni
versity. that the article is made from
the by-products in the manufacture of

does not show such specks. A little ex-
pertinent with lard in this direction is
an excellent means of cultiyating the
eye and qualifying one to readily deter

tation from the genuine. This rule is
practical enough, and is said to be
sure one.-Fa,m, Field and .Stockndn.
The value of the milk and butter
alone annually produced in this coun-
try exceeds that of the capital of the
National banks, and is greater than tho
value of the crops Of wheat or the prod
vet of the iron interests; and yet dairy
ing is only in its infancy" While it
is pleasant thus to contemplate the
grand proportions of the milk and but
ter business, the question always comes
to the front with the dairyman: How
am to make living out of itP Not
by sitting down and dreaming of the
vast Importance of the industry you are
engaged in. but by that nobler ambition
OF determining to work your way to the
top by producing as good an article as
the best, and by doing it with as great
economy as your opportunities will
admit of.-Lire Stock Journal
