Cooperative Dairying. was the
subject OF a paper read by Mr.. John Boyd
at the recent annual meeting of the Illinois
Dairy association. He said that the COOP
erative system makes the farmer look upon
the dairy more as a business, and less az
an insignificant ofishoot in the hands of
the women. In New England many
creameries are being established in which
the companies require the milk TO be sub
merged and the cream raised sweet. They
are expected TO use ice, and thus the
cream is uniform in quality.
Dairy Cows in England. At meeting
OF the Tunbridge Wells England) Farmers
club, MIR. I. L. Welfear, who manages a
herd OF eighty cows, stated in paper on
dairy farming that in its purity the Jersey
cow was somewhat delicate animal, and
when out Of profit would yield little for
grazing purposes. He said the Shorthorn
Jersey, the Sussex jersey, or the Kerry
jersey was, however nearly, II not quite.
equal to most pure bred Jerseys In milk
yielding, and a much moro hardy and
serviceable animal for general purposes.
Stihe in Horses. is strain Of the
stifle muscles only. The stae Join, never
gets out; II it should the horse would DO
worthless. The stife shoe should never
be used. AS a remedy veterinarian ad-
vises to take the whites OF six eggs and
two ounces Of pulvefized alum; mix well
together and rub on the stifle muscles;
dry with hot iron. One application will
probably be sufficient. Another remedy:
One ounce OF sugar lead, one pint Of alco-
hol; mix and apply three or four times
day until cure is effected.
Packing Beef for Home Use.-At this
season many farmers put down beef for
future use. There are various ways of
doing this, but a western authority says
1t may be done successfully by taking out
all the large bones, and for every 100
pounds OF beef using eight pounds OF fine
salt iourpounds of brown sugar, four ounces
OF saleratus and two ounces OF saltpetre.
Put a layer Of this in the bottom OF the
barrel, aud then layer OF beef, then salt
etc. Do not put any pickle on the beef,
as the juice OF the beef will furnish all the
brine necessary. The drying pieces can
be placed at tho top and in six weeks will
be ready to hang up.

ton as TO the best packages for shipping

honey oak barrels are preferred by some Of
the members.
Food for Calves. Prof i. w. Stewart,
who is noted for his experiments in stock
feeding, states that one ounce, or less, OF
oil meal to gallon OF warm, sweet whey,
will make i nearly equal in feeding value
~ whole milk for raising calf 10 three
weeks old, and after that another quarter
Of an ounce may be safely added. The oil
meal should be dissolved in hot whey be-
fore mixing with that Of the right tempera-
turo 10 feed.
