DAIRY RArloNs.


Lessons Taught by the Increased Winter
Butter Production.
Milk and butter production in winter
has become SO thoroughly established
that dairymen are gradually abandon
ing the laying down of the whole sum-
mer make, and selling it in the late fall
or early winter. They find fresh butter
is SO much preferred that the entire
product of diaries is sold from twenty
to forty per cent. less. This offers no
inducement to accumulate the summers
make, because it is not likely to bring
more than if sold when fresh. This in
creased winter butter production has
led dairymen to study somewhat the
proper food required when only dry
fodder is at hand They are aware that
milk can not probably be produced on
hay alone, and they first turn their at
tention to corn-meal. This is certainly
excellent as part of the ration. Good,
sweet corn-meal is not only healthy and
profitable food for the COW, but assists
in giving fine flavor to the milk, and
when as cheap as other foods should
always form an essential part of the
ration. But cOrn-meal is not rich in the
heterogeneous elements required to form
the casein or curd of the milk, and this
compOSes almost one-third of the solid
contents of milk. If the cows are fed
upon the best clover hay, then corn
meal may make up the balance of the
ration. because clover hay is rich in
heterogeneous or muscle-fOrming matter.
But dairymen often have to feed poor
mixed quality of hay, or even straw
and then other foods having more
muscle-forming element should make
part of the ration. Besides,
dairymcn should remember that they
can hardly err in giving too many kinds
of food in the dairy ration. The greater
the variety, the better the flavor of the
milk, and the better the condition of the
cows. as well as the larger the quantity
of milk. 1t has become popular among
the best Jersey feeders to give portion
of pea-meal. This is strongly nitrogen
Gus food. and its office is to keep up the
condition and vigor of the cow, by re-
placing the waste of the muscles. and
the surplus goes to make the same ele-
ments in the milk. But as pea-meal
costs as much or more than new process
linsecd-mcal. we think the latter more
valuable in the ration for milk. because
it possesses all the good qualities of
pea-meal, besides being more soothing
to the digestive organs and slightly lax
alive, while pea-meal is the opposite.
Wheat bran is also a good food for milk,
and often bears very reasonable price,
generally slightly less than the best hay,
but it has higher feeding value than
any hay. Wheat middlings is also a
most excellent food. having more starch
than bran, and more nearly approx
mates to corn-meal in quality. Malt
sprouts are often found at low price
ten dollars to twelve dollars per ton.
and if of go, i quality may be used
proiitably in the ration. but these re-
quire soaking some twelve hours before
feeding. When oats are as cheap, per
weight, as corn. then corn and oats
should be ground together. in equal
weights. and this meal will be found
profitable food for milk.
Now. let us see how we can combine
these rations:

Iput beside each other two testimonies
Of men concerning their wives, and let you
see the contrast. An aged man was asked
the reason Of his salvation. With fearful
emotion he said: my wife was brought
to God some years before myself. I perse-
cuted and abused her because Of her re-
ligion. She, however, returned nothing
but kindness constantly, maintaining an
anxiety TO promote my comfort and hap
piness, and it was her amiable conduct
wnen suffering in-treatment from me that
first sent the arrows Of conviction to
my SOUL" The other testimony was from
a dying man: Harriet, am lost man;
you opposed our family worship and my
secret prayer; you drew me away into
temptation and to neglect every religious
duty. I believe my fate is sealed. Har-
riet, You are the cause Of my everlasting
ruin" How many married couples in
