QUALITY OF CREAM.
The Question of Fixing tho Proportion o

The Question OF Fixing tho Proportion o
Solids In Milk.
1t was only by practical experience il
the selling of milk. under the law reg
ulating the sale. that dairymen realized
the fact that it is impossible to produc,
uniform grades of milk. Even the law
created through their influence have be
come obnoxious to them. The mistake
made was in demanding a regulation TO
which they were not prepared. and
which they were not aware until the,
felt its application. They did not real
ize that the uniform standard of mill
should 60 farther and call for the uni
formity of the cows and of the food
Milk is a product the quality of which
is beyond the control of the dairymal
unless he begins at the source and reg

selection Of the food from which tn,
milk is produced. Tofix the proportion
of solids is to shut off the milk from
certain COWS that can not come vi
to the standard, though such cows ma,
be the largest producers in the herd
That portion of the milk-the cream
market, is really not SO valuable as tn.
caseina, SO far as the object of the con
sumption of milk is concerned. A quar-
of skim milk contains Q larger proper
ton Of the nutritive elements than al
equal part of cream, as cream is almos
entirely heat-producing and fat-form

The production of one quart of skim
milk takes from the soil larger amour
of fertility than many times the SAINT
quantity of cream. The real riches
milk is that containing the nitrogen an.
mineral matter. but consumers gaug,
the quality by the proportion of cream
which is the least expensive article il
the milk. There is probably no know
deavor to patronize those who kee,

that one must look for the quality o
the milk.
Another problem to deal with is tina
the solids are not uniform in the rela
tive proportions of fat, caseine, etc., ant
the value of the solids depends upon thu
preference of the buyers. The fat il

Let Us Make Our own Wool.

How shall sheep husbandry be man
aged SO as to supply our home consump-
tion in wool? With one or two excep-
tions there has been, says . writer in
Home and Farm, no year during the
one hundred years of our existence as
an independent nation that we have not
imported more than half as much wool,
and the manufactures Of wool, than we
have produced. This country is capa-
BILE of producing all the varieties Of
wool necessary for every character Of
manufacture to supply home consump-
ton in the greatest abundance. The
reason why the home product ton has not
supplied the home consumption is that
we have permitted the cupidity and
greed of the importer, coupled, to some
extent, with the selfshness of the home
manufacturer, to food the country with
wool grown on cheap lands OF foreign
countries, prepared for export by cheap
labor. And when 1t has come to us in
the manufactured state it came from
countries where capital is cheaper and
more abundant To successfully COM
pete with his foreign competitor the
farmer must have land at the same
price, and labor at the same cost IL
the protecting arm of Government will
not sustain him he will have to abandon
sheep husbandry and wool-growing in the
more thickly populated districts where
he has the comforts Of civilization, and

The COW has path Of her own, but
the horse goes by her side, sheep feed
upon her pastures, swine breeders rise
up to do her honor" forests are cut,
steam engines and water-wheels are
run, laboratories are equipped, steam
ships sailed, inventive genius born, and
all the hands Of commerce and trade
used to make her bring more money
and more comfort TO men. She is not
jealous Of her neighbor. She has no
more of grudge against steer than q

gard for lamb that she has for law

the plumber as men doing Gods work in
different ways, and quietly chews the
cud Of her own business to her own evil
dent profit. Her owners profit by her
good sense, and have some Of it. She
is not SO big in their eyes that they can
see nothing but escutcheons and milk
veins. They have not been fed upon
such poorly balanced ration of knowl-
edge that they are mentally hide bound.

If the pasture contains as many
weeds as grass plants, the dairy on your
farm will never be what it should be,
and SO we advise you to make deter.
mined war upon those weeds the coming

Never use milk from sick cow.
Never sell it for anybody else to use
either. We can better afford to throw
away the milk Of COW than we can to
endangcr the health Of ourselves OF

Nobody can make butter up to a
high standard unless he fully under

To make rug. plenty Of persever.

that are too small to be worked up into
hassocks are quite large enough for this
purpose.
Cut these into strips Of any length
