Experience with Aolsteln Cattle.

| find actual experience that Hol
stein COWS are great butter pro
ducers, and that the milk is of eX-
cclent quality. During the month
of June the milk is the poorest, and
it takes from twenty-five to twenty
seven pounds of milk to make one
pound of butter In the fall season
of the year twenty pounds OF milk
will make pound of butter if the
COWS are well kept. There are
many authentic records OF lndlvld-
nal COWS where sixteen pounds OF
milk would make pound of butter.
There is one Holstein COW on re
cord (Armida) that produced,
when eight months i'll milk, one
pound of butter from fifteen pounds
and eight ounces of milk. In May,
1880, the writer sold one imported
two. year old heifer Mademoisclle)
in calf TO the noted bull Captain
The purchaser, Chas. w. Darknell
of Zumbrota, Mimi, reports that
he tested her milk for butter thirty
days after calving. She produced
forty pounds of milk in one day
and from this milk in one day and
from this milk he made two pounds
and nine ounces of butter, at the
rate of about one pound of butter
from fifteen pounds and ten ounces
of milk.
In all of the experiments OF the
writer he took the milk from the
entire herd He said that som,
kinds of feed will produce richer
milk than others. Cows that hav,
grain and grass during the summer
season produce richer milk thar
those that have grass only.
Holsten butter is of superior
quality and always gives splendic
satisfaction in the hands of tn,
consumer. The writer has beer
manufacturing butter from Hol
stein milk for seven years and hai
had more orders from private faml
lies, boarding houses and the lik
than he could fill. During thi
winter he has received orders from
st Louis to the State of MasSachu
and could not supply the demand
Holstein butter has the reputatio
. af retaining its flavor longer tina
! any other kind, hence it is superio
for shipping or packing. No ma
i need to fear 10 invest in HOlStci
cattle, as they combine more qua
tiles than any other breed. lo
b stems are good for milk, good fC
, butter, good for cheese, and ais
splendid beef animals, as we sha
notice in the FUTURE Cor. MI

Americans, accustomed to deal
ing with large figures, will be
struck with the small extent of the
Prussian state forests, upon which
so much care and attention is be-
slowed and about which so much
is written and printed. These GOV.
er but G,597 900 acres. These
Prussian forests, however, al
though less profitable than those of
France, produce annually an aver
age of 5,314, 900 loads of fifty cubic
feet of timber ard small wood, and
net to the Government annually
nearly S5,000,000, or about $1.35
per acre every year. The subordi-
nate staff of the Prussian state for
ests chiefly employed in their pro,
lection, that is, toreSters and forest
guards, numbers 1898 persons, in
addition to which there is an adj
staff of S07 persons,
with headquarters at Berlin, 122
forest inspectors and 677 executive
officers i'll charge of the forest dis
tricts or ranges. This staff, be-
sides the management of the state
forests, has the general control of
over 100000 acres of other forests
the property of various towns and
villages, schools, hospitals and
different public associations.
There are in Prussia, besides these
public forests, nearly 100000
acres of private forests, the man
agement of which is more unre-
stricted. There are eight forest
schools in Germany and much at
tention is given by the youth of
that country in fitting for the man
agement of forests and for forest
administration generally.

\ Boston paper states that one
of the NEST successful dairymen in
that section recently announced to
the firm that sells his butter in
Quincy market, an intended i'm
provemcnt in his product. When
the new consignment arrived the
butter merchant WAS surprised and
and disappointed. The dairy had
been noted for its choice, aromatic,
nutty favored product, but here
was a parcel of butter devoid of
flavor or fragrance, having, dead
neutral taste The dairyman was
sent for; had he changed his herd,
! his method OF feeding or his system
of butter making were the queS-
tons rapidly propounded. No, the
only attempted improvement he
had made was to chnrn his cream
sweet instead of allowing it to ri
pen before churning. Result-the
weeks dairy product sold at thirty.
five cents per pound, instead of at
seventy cents, the usual price for
previous conSlgnments.

butter quickly spells around these
