THE DAIRY.


The great preponderance OF tcsti-
nony shows that soft food Is better for
cattle than is dry feed, and that in the
larry ii is no trouble, with plenty Of
ensilagc. to keep up summer fow Of
milk all the year.
Every creameryman should make
at least monthly trips to sec his pat
rons. They would appreciate II and
valuable suggestions might be made.
which would result in mutual advan-
tagcs. II you write them they will pay
no attention to you.-American Cream

-Dairymcn should bear in mind
the fact that those who pursue the old
system Of years ago do not realize the
prices that others with modern i'm
provements do in the making Of butter.

pay to make silage Of clover and mix
this with corn silage when feeding.
My success with corn silage has been
SO marked and satisfactory that ! be-

Careful experiments by Prof. Bah
cock seem to show preference forsour
cream in the quantity Of butter yield.
But. says an exchange, is. he able to
tell us at what temperature he gets the
best yield from sweet cream as well rs
from sour? II he can not, then his
experiments Us yet decide nothing
unless it be the fact that cream in both
conditions can not be probably churncd
at the same temperature.
The milk should be disturbed rs
little IS possible before it is set, and

Dairy World.
When a farmer (?) makes warm
kennels for three or four dogs. and
leaves his calves out in the storm to
get hardy the chances are that he
will never astonish the world much as
a successful dairyman. Still there are
men trying to reap the reward Of the
good dairyman, though pursuing O
course nearly as absurd as the farmer
who is more tender of his dogs than his
calves. Hoard's Dairyman.
The calf will begin to eat hay By
the time il is four weeks old. and there
is very little danger OF scours when il
eats small quantity of hay regularly.
for little sweet, wholesome hay is
good corrective or regulator OF the
bowels. The potent cause OF bowe'
trouble is irrcgularity in feeding. A
quart or two too much milk will otter
cause it. or the feeding of cold milk
when it has been accustomed TO warm.
