THE AYRSHIRE COW.

While the owners of other breeds are
trumpeting their good qualities before
the public, the owners of Ayrshires are
silently deriving good profits from their
diaries. The owner of an Ayrshire dairy
never complains of hard times, for where
other cows simply pay their way, Ayr
shres pay dividends. 1t costs less to
produce quart of milk or a pound of
butter from an Ayrshire COW than from
any other. a COW of the average size
Go cwt.) has capacity enough to con-
sumo large quantities of food that will
produce good returns and without too
so large as to be unwieldy in getting
about and doesn't require extra food to
support unnecessary size. Perhaps the
great secret of the success of the AYR
shire is her digestion, enabling her to
extract and turn into milk and butter
the largest amount of return for the food
consumed. Like a hearty workman at
dinner, the Ayrshire finds all her food
good. OF course she doesn't return her
owner as much milk from poor hay as
from good but she takes it with nearly
as great relish. She is healthy. strong
and always hungry, eating heartily.
The Ayrshire has seldom been allowed
to compete on her strongest point, that
of taking into account the cost of food
n u l-a ha Of
duet. Public tests have usually placed
her second, but in the great dairy con-
test on the farm "A wonderful difference
exists in the profits, whether COW can
make butter and milk at few cents per
pound, more or less. At the official test
of dairy cows at the New Hampshire
Experiment station last year, the follow
ing results were secured as an average
per COW:
n. Holstein. Ayrshire. Jersey.
Cost OF keeping. $50 u so IS $40 -
Pounds milk to lb butter29 2l1s Is
At last years Vermont State Fair the
first prize for the best dairy COW of any
breed tested for one day on the ground
was given to Jersey for Id. and OF.
of butter. The Ayrshire COW came in
second, with only three ounces less. No
account of food was kept, although il
was stated that the Jersey was fed at
nearly double the cost of the Ayrshire
ration. 1t is hoped that more of the eX-
pertinent stations will take up this work
and prove to the dairymen the need OF
better cows.-[Sec'y. C. NJ. Winslow OF

ICE WATER.-DOCTORS DISAGREE.

a celebrated physician says "All ice
water drinking is bad, also that''a severe
blow upon the body just over the solar
pleXuX" (Which in good United States
language means an important portion of
the nervous system located just back of
the stomach evil cause almost instant
DEATH and he further says "the sudden
shock caused by deluge of lce-water in
to the stomach has exactly the same eff
feet upon the solar pleXus as the blow,
and may cause sudden death by its action
upon it and through that OF the heart"
Another equally celebrated physician
says, "Any diction which unqualitiedly
says that cold drinks are bad and hot
drinks are good must be absurd" and
further "cold water stimulates gastric
secretion: therefore do not smile at your
friend because he thinks haf-glass of
ice-water before eating gives him an APP
petite and helps his digestion" In con-
tinuation we will say, drinking ice-water
in copious draughts when over-heated is
injurious, if not dangerous, that is unde-
niable. But that the free drinking of
water in some form in hot weather must
be avoided, is deniable, and one of the
greatest popular errors eXtant. When a
person is perspiring freely, a vast amount
of water is drawn from the body, which
must be resupplied, or great injury is
being done the physical health and the
foundation of some of the worst forms
of kidney disease is being slowly but
surely laid. Do not drink ice-cold wa
ter, but pure cool water; a little lemon
juice will improve its effectiveness
Plain soda water with little acid is also
excellent in hot weather. If from drink
ing too much ice-water you have stom.
ach cramps, or are "water-logged" as il
is called. or are attacked with cholera
morbus, summer complaints, darrhea
or dysentery, do not resort to alcoholic
stimulating drinks, which irritGte rather

caused the trouble; but adopt the prac
tice of taking daily just before retiring

COOP THE POULTRY OUT.

W. c. says: The past month | have
called on many farmers for the purpose
of seeing fowls, and have induced few
to coop their chickens out in the hop
fields, for, as | told them, it would do the
hops no harm, if it did them no good, and
the chickens would get on twice as well,
and want less feeding. Several farmers
acted on my suggestion, put them out,
and only fed them twice IA day after they
were a fortnight old, and the chickens
got on wonderfully. The coops were put
from forty to one hundred yards apart,
and the reason | suggested this was so
that they should be spread all about the
gardens. and enable the chickens to eat
up the insects. ! cannot say whether it
is through the chickens or not, but in
each case where this plan was adopted
they had splendid crops. | am not pre-
pared to say that the chickens kept the
fly or even lice from the hops, but am
inclined to think that they clear up a good
deal of vermin which would be injurious
to the hops. They clear the ground of
wire-worms, slugs, grubs and insects of
various kinds, which must do the ground
good, and even if they do not clear them
all off, there is great saving in the
chicken food and the labor of feeding
them, and they grow much faster than if
cooped together in one grass field. 1t is
nice and shady for them in the hot
weather and they pick up a good many
of the young weeds as soon as they shoot
out of the ground. So taking it all round
they do a great deal of good. ] believe
that in a few years time it will be diff
cult to find hop garden without them.
If farmers would take the trouble to coop
their chickens out more they would find
that the birds would get more than half
their living. Fruit growers should keep
poultry, and especially when they have
grass under the trees. which provides
nice shade for the fowls and chickens.
The birds find Il good many insects in
such a place, far more than in an open
field, as there are generally large num-
bers of green flies, caterpillars, and mag
gots fall from the trees. Fowls live on a
good deal of matter which would be
wasted were they not to eat it. | believe
in few years farmers will have a flock
of fowls following the pillow, so as to eat
up the worms and grubs as the ground is
turned oyer. have seen this done in a
few instances. The fowls soon know
where to get their food Fancers' Jour
nal.
