QUANTITY OF MILK REQUIRED FOR
BUTTER.

How much milk is required to make
one pound of butter depends upon so
many circumstances as to render it
impossible to estimate upon any GER
tain quantity as the proper proportion.
No two breeds of cattle possess the
same qualifications, and there is no
herd of one breed made up of cows
alike in capacity for either milk or but
ter. Milk is a variable substance, and
even when some particular COW may
be selected for experiment in the pro-
duction of milk and butter she will
fail to give uniform quantity of milk
of the same quality from one day to
another. The seasons influence the
yield, as is shown by the trial of cow
selected for purposes OF experiment.
Allowing two pounds OF milk to repre-
sent one quart, the record shows that
in January from fifteen pounds of mil k
one pound of butter was produced,
was made from Ia pounds of milk.
These months being winter months.
when green food is usually scarce, it
would naturally be supposed that in
summer the COW would give a larger
quantity of butter from a given guam
tity of milk than she would in winter,
but her record was 81 pounds of milk
to | pound of butter in March, 10
pounds of milk for | pound OF butter
in April. and % pounds Of milk for
pound of butter in May, The quantity
of milk required to produce pound
of butter during the remainder OF the
year was: For June, 81 pounds; July,
% pounds; August, % pounds; Sep
TENDER, % pounds; October, Spounds;
November, 16 pounds, and December
10 pounds. 1t does not imply that
during the summer season the guam
tity of milk yielded by the COW was
less than that yielded in winter, but
that it was not as rich in cream.
These changes were effected, not by
the quantity of the food but by its
quality, as the COW had abundant pas
turage in June, although it required
"a pounds of milk to produce l pound
of butter during the month. Novem-
Der to March are periods OF the year
when cows are fed on concentrated
food, and consequently they receive
more attention from the dairyman.
The yield of milk may be less, but the
proportionate quantity of butter may
| be greater. The tinae Of calving also
affects the quality, while the severity
/ of the cold, as well as the shelter and
+ protection given, must also be consld-
! cred. The experiment shows how
/ difficult it is to estimate upon the but
ter production of COW. The food
and its quality is the most important
feature of management, and the tie SITS
/ of cows for a week only may not rep
resent the capacity for longer time.
i No matter what the breed may be,
upon the management depends the
Talue and capacity of the animal.

the colt should be weaned. During
the summer and autumn months he
should be allowed to be at grass, which
if succulent and abundant, will be all
that is required as food. When taken
up in the autumn a sufficient quantity
of the best English hay, with two or
three quarts of bruised oats, should be
given daily. Twice during the week
the colt should receive a few carrots
cut up and given raw or steamed,
which would render them more easily
assimilated, and to these little bran
should be mixed.
Plenty of fresh, clean water should
be accessible to the animal. Protection
from the weather at all times should be
provided, and during the cold season
warm, well ventilated, sunny quarters
are extremely important.
The first year of the colts life, es-
pecially the first winter, is the most
critical period of his existence. If
through neglect he is allowed to get
out of condition he will never quite re-
cover from the effects. Consequently
proper food, and an abundance of it,
with care to cleanliness of his per-
son and his quarters, are most essen
tial.
Grain never produces large belly,
either upon the colt or the adult; GER
tainly not unless fed out in the most
extraordinary manner, which would
prove destruction to the animal.

CANADA THIsTLEs IN MEADOWS.

The Canada thistle, though not cas-
lily killed, is yet comparatively easy to
keep in subsection, provided the sur
face is covered with other vegetation.
A heavy growth of clover or timothy
will leave little room for thistles, ex-
cept in vacant spaces. Enough will
push through to keep the root alive,
and as soon as the field is plowed they
will grow with greater vigor than ever,
even on fields where but few before
were to be seen. Heavily seeding with
clover or grass is therefore not one of
the best means, not of destroying this
ties but of making them as little trou-
BILE as possible. On farm filled with
thistles the larger part should be seed
ed heavily, and then the fields one af-
ter another be taken in hand and the
thistles in each thoroughly rooted out
1t is true a great deal of hay is half
thistles, but this is mainly the farmers
fault, either in not sowing enough
grass and clover seed or in pasturing
these until they were destroyed, leav-
ing the thistles to occupy their places.

The Sioux commission, says the Chia
cago News, has pointed out that the In
dians of Dakota are very bad farmers.
They neglect their crops from sheer lazi.
ness, and expect the government to feed
them in first-class style. AS caterer to a
lot of shiftless red men this nation is not
likely to fulfill its highest destiny. 1t is
all we patriots can do to maintain our
liberties without also maintalninga free
lunch counter. If the Sioux want pota-
toes and beef and strawberry shortcake,
they ought to produce them on their
farms. Tho United States government
has good many things to look after,
and, if the Indians would only consent to
fill their own larders, the prairie soup
houses and frontier cafes might be closed
out at profit in short order. Laziness is
not a blessing There is no reason why
the Dakota Indian should sleep all day

white man gets up several hours before

How often we lose good items by not
hearing Of 'em for a couple of years after
the facts transpired. We have two ex-
amples in mind. One was where man
not 25 miles from Williamsport killed
nelghbor's COW, borrowed salt from the
owner to cure the meat, and then tried
to sell him part of. the beef. The pur-
loiner's little boy gave the thing away,
and it took a span of mules to comprom-
lse. Another ancient occurrence was that
of boy three miles faom town who
hitched sklttish colt to light sled, left
the lines snapped In the backband rings,
got on and started. AS there were no
shafts, the harder the boy pulled on the
lines the more steadily the sled banged
the. colts heels. The louder the boy
howled the faster the colt scooted. A
number of men in front of the store,
recognizing at distance the "here- we
come.somebody.head-us. off, character of
the procession. stopped the outfit But
why can't we hear of these items before
they are gray and grizzled with age?

general height IS from thirty to fifty feet
The tree is dicsclous--that is, the stan,t-
nate and pistillate blossoms are borne on
separate trees. The trees are readily
raised from seeds, which ripen in the
early SUMMER, and should be gathered

should be planted not deeper than one
