FAST AND SLOW.
A Test of the Two in Milking That
Was Pretty Conclusive.

1t is generally understood that fast
milking mas the advantage of securing
more milk than slow milking. But we
are not aware of any scientific expert
ments to determine the fact. Ralph
Allen. of Delavan, H., gives to the
Jersey Bulletin little experience that
we'll illustrates the difference. His boy
was learning to milk, and took two and
a half times more time than fast
mixer, who got from the COW at each
milking to 1919 pounds Of milk. The
boy could get only Z to 9 pounds. The
evidence in favor of fast milking was
pr, tty concluSive-prOvlded the time in
milking was all the difference that af-
fected the flow.
The fast mixer may have been more
agreeable to the cow and his manner of
milking may have been more agreeable.
The bungling of the boy may have been
positively annoying to the cow. This
would affect her ''giving down." as it is
called. 1t may have had quite as much
to do with the variation in the yield as
the difference in time of drawing the
milk had. You must please the cow if
you want her to do her best. More or
less milk is secreted during milking-as
saliva is secreted during eating. If the
cow is annoyed it checks the secretion
OF milk; II pleased. it stimulates it.
For these reasons it is important to have
good mixers who are good natured and
agreeable to the cows.

English Dry Goods Market

MANCHESTER. Feb. 29.-The Guard
ian, in its commercial article, says: In
a few instances there have been larger
transactions at somewhat irregular
prices. The purchases, however, ap-
pear to be more on account of specula-
ton than positive orders from tine dis
tributing markets. This is proof that
some buyers have confidence in the
present rates and near revival of the
demand, and also that some sellers are
keenly pressed and want orders. Prices
in each department for The moment are
made more by the few who are obliged
to sell. A regular demand exists for
small quantities at full prices. but it
does not equal the supply, and there is.
therefore. some weakness. There is a
little more business for export yarns at
prices trifie under Fridays rates. The
Offers for yarn in quantity are mostly
impracticable. There is little change
in the cloth departments. There is in
creased inquiry for India goods, chiefly
light and fancy. There is little inquiry
for China staples. The high reed
printers are steady. The trade in low
reeds is light. There is a small daily
demand for heavy goods.

PROFIT IN SHEEP.
The Experience of Farmers in Ne
braska and Kansas Shows Well

The Experience of Farmers in Ne-
braska and Kansas SHOWS Well,
Some OF the sheep exhibitors at the
Nebraska State fair, says Mr.. Ashby in
the Homestead, reported good profit in
sheep husbandry. DIR. E. d. King, of
Coffee county, Kansas, said: al keep
from 1000 to 2,0O0 Spanish Merinos. I
get about 80 lambs from 100 ewes
bred. l get an average of about ten
pounds of wool. In April | sold 500
two and three-year-0ld mutton sheep
at accents per pound. The weights
range from 90 to 90 pounds; 500 good
grade ewes are worth 81 per head, or
2,C0O. They will give in income 40
lambs, worth at weaving time So per
head, or 81, $50; 500 pounds wool at 20
cents per pound, $1,000. The cost Of
keep and attention will average 1928
per head, or 1925, leaving neat income.
Sheep will do first-rate on wild grass
through May, June and July, but tame
pasturage is much to be preferred.
George Richardson lives at Benedict
York county, Neb. He breeds the Bake

off good many premiums when he eY.

nine lambs to the flock this year. Nine.
wool, which sold for S960.SO above ex-
penses. Mr.. Richardson strongly adj
vises men who nave no tame pastures
for their sheep to stay out of the sheep
business.
Samuel Jewett lives at Lawrence,
Kan, and breeds Spanish Merinos. He
keeps an average of about 500 head;
sheared 700 head this year and got 1857
pounds of wool; sold 80 grade three
year-old Merin0S that averaged 1903
pounds and brought $3.50 per hundred.
Mr.. Jewett says: 81 get mere money
out of sheep than any other kind OF
stock. In 100 pure-bred ewes one will
have invested $1,000. They will give
an income of ninety lambs at $40 per
head, $40; 1880 pounds of wool at 90
cents, $3.50, or a grand total of 81, 1870.

THE DREAM GAUGE.
1t Aids i'm Determining the Value
ofIhe Milk for Butter Making.

~ Gf1O dIuC
ofIhe Milk for Butter Making.
The percentage of cream contained in
milk may be very accurately ascertained
by filling glass tube or jar with milk
drawn fresh from the cow and allowed
to stand in cool place twelve to TWEEN
ty-four hours. These tubes are made
expressly for the purpose, their capac-
ity being something over pint. A scale
is marked upon the side, which denotes
the proportion of cream after Separa-
ton. These glass vessels are called
cream gauges, and are useful utensils
in the dairy room for testing the gen.
eral quality of each cows milk, or the
mixed milk from the entire herd. A
Straight-sided tumber will answer the
same purpose, but this does not possess
the convenience of the graduated scale,
and requires measurement and calcula-
ton, while the other method shows re-
suits at a glance.
Although the cream gauge serves a
very important and satisfactory pur-
pose, it does not indicate accurately the
value of the milk for butter-maising.
The cream of one cows milk, though
less in bulk and weight than that of an
other, will often contain more fat and
produce more butter, SO that the yield
of cream is not always true index of
butter capacity; bat as cream is the ele-
ment from which butter is produced, and
as rule the milk containing it IN larg-
est quantities, is richest in butter. The
proportion as shown by the cream
gauge is valuable pointer in determin-
ing separately the value of each cows
milk for butter-making purposes.
The milk from paying butter COW
fed generously ought to show not less
than % to 80 per cent cream average for
the year, less at the beginning after
calving, say Is to 20 per cent, increasing
as she grows older in milk.

Hints TO Housekeeners

Suet should be used instead of butter
for making sauces, gravies, etc.
Nothing is better than glass fruit jar
for keeping cooking laisins moist.
Ammonia will frequently restore
eolors that have been spoiled by acids.
If the color has been taken out of
silks by fruit stains, ammonia will
usually restore the color.
Very finely sifted coal ashes are ex-
cellent for cleaning brass. Rnb we'll
and polish with WOODEN rag.
When acid of any kind gets on cloth
ing spirits OF ammonia will kill it. Ap-
ply chloroform to restore the color.
Keep nickel, silver ornaments and
mounts bright by rubbing with WOODEN
cloth saturated in spirits of ammonia.
Grease spots may he taken out with
weak ammonia and water; lay soft
white paper over anon d If with ahot
iron.

Operations of the Money Kings in
Wall Street.-The General Quo

CHICAGO, Feb. 2s.-The wheat mar
ket started out with weather the only
rtiu ence to-day. The cold wave of one
week ago proved SO tickle that the trade
did not take kindly to the one promised
to-day and tomorrow. Early advices
were that 1t was bitter cold in the
Northwest, and quite cold in Kansas,
Iowa and Nebraska, with the rest of
the wheat belt rapidly growing
colder. On this the price of May
opened steady at 772c, and even
ouched 775sc. Long before noon the
dispatches were less positive about eX-
IRENE cold, and as the dispatches mod
Grated the market softened, and at the
end of an hour May was off to 7711Sc.
Partridge was a seller, and there ap-
peared to be little hope for strength or
acton. 1t was after 10 o'clock that
Bradstreets figures, giving a decrease
OF 100000 bu in two weeks east of
the Rocky mountains, were received,
and also seaboard advices, giving from
fifteen to sixteen bOatloads taken
for export to-day. This started the
traders who were bullishly inclined to
buying. and on the improved feeling
the price of May was put up to the best
figures of the morning. IKE. June
sold 7715e and 772ic. There was no
other important news. Liverpool
cables We're firm. but New York cleared
no wheat, and Philadelphia and Balti-
more only 10000 bu. The strength in
wheat at l o'clock did not hold. and at
the close May was 7sc lower than yes
terday, and s5e under the best price of
the day. Receipts to-day were 10 cars
wheat, 81 corn and al cars oats. Ship
ments-Wheat, 1880 bu; corn. 2O7. 2l9
bu: oats, 160,29l bu. Corn was rather
firm early. but there was very little
disposition to trade, and the feeling
soon became weak. Hutchinson sold a
good line early, but was reported to
have bought about as much on the sub
sequent decline. The grading is show
ing marked improvement and helps to
promote weakness. Oats were fairly
active and }5t056c higher. Provisions

WIND-BISEAKS ).
Their Advantages and Some OBJ

Their Advantages and Some OBJ
jections to Them in Localities.
Prof. Bailey, OF Cornell university,
after discussing wind-breaks exhaust
lively, makes the following summary:
l. A wind-break may exert great
influence upon fruit plantation.
2. The benefits derived from
wind-breaks are the following: Protec.
ton from cold; lessening of evaporation
from soil and plants; lessening of
windfallS; leSsening OF liability to me-
chanlcal injury of trees; retention of
snow and leaves; facilitating of labor:
protection of blossoms fl0m severe
winds; enabling trees to grow moro
erect: lessenng of injury from the dry
ing up of small fruits; retention of
sand in certain localities; fastening
of maturity of fruits in some cases;
encouragement of birds; ornaments
ton.
8. The injuries sustained from wind.
breaks are as follows: Preventing tha
free circulation of warm winds and
consequent exposure to cold; injuries
from insects and fungOus diseases; in
juries from the encroachment of the
wind-break itself: increased liability to
late spring frOstS In rare cases.
a. The injury from cold, still air Is
usually confined to those localities
which are directly Influenced by large
bodies of water, and which are protected
by forest belts. Is can he avoided by
planting thin belts.
b. The injury from insects can be
averted by spraying with arsenical
pOisons.
C. The injury from the encroacf.
ment of the wind-break may be averted,
in part at least, by good cultivation and
by planting the fruit simultaneously
with the belt.
4. Wind-breaks are advantageous
wherever fruit plantations are exposed
to strong winds.
5. In interior places, dense or broad
belts of two or more rows of trees are
desirable, while within the influence OF
large bodies of water thin or narrow
belts. comprising but row or two. are
usually preferable.
6. The best trees for wind-breaks in
the Northwestern states are Norway
spruce, and Austrian or Scotch pines.
among the evergreens. Among decid-
uons trees, most of the rapidly growing
native species are useful. A mixed
plantation, with the hardest and most
vigorous deciduous trees on the wind
ward, is probably the ideal artificial
shelter belt.

CO-OPERATiVE KILLING.
The Butchers Should Combine
and Make Great Savings.

anu MAKE GroaC savings.
1t must be apparent by this time to
well-informed butchers. says the Iowa
Homestead, that the old method of
slaughtering cattle will have to be
abandoned. Butchers are like good
many other classes of men engaged in a
retail trade. They have failed to COM
prehend the full scope of the industrial
spirit of the age. They have been buy
ing cattle at very low prices and sell
ing beef at high prices, and COM
plain because even then they are max
ing no money. The reason is they have
failed to adapt their business to the de-
mand of the age. They each one have
a slaughter house and kill on the old

One Hundred Per Cent on sheep.

A writer in the Detroit (Mich) Farm
er, from Griswold. Mich, asks:
''Do sheep pay better than other farm
stock? Can you think of any other kind
of stock that can be made to paw 33L
per cent per annumP We rather think
not. Now we can beat 1914 per cent
threshold ourselves. We bought few
sheep few years ago for mutton, but
when we got them home they looked so
good to US that we finally concluded to
keep them and try our luck in the sheep
business. The result is that our little
flock has doubled itself each year,
which is 100 per cent. Does it pay to
keep sheep regardless of the tariff?
Now if you are not given to agrarianism
and don't want the world, or 100 per
ceut, you can let your neighbors keep
your sheep and still realize your 3317s
per cent"
