required to pay out money on county orders, as pre-
sented, 50 far as there are any moneys in his halds
as county treasurer. And he is hereby authorized to
pay interest on county orders that have been filed
and payment refused for want of funds, and that
such filed orders shall be called in and paid as rapid
~ as his funds will permit, and in the order filed; bu,
the county treasurer shall never pay interest on any
order filed and payment refused, when there was al
the time money in the treasury sufficient to pay such
orders.
Motion made and seconded that the resolution
be adopted.
Motion made and seconded to amend to strike
out of the resolution all that part relating to interest.
Moved and seconded that the Board adjourn
until o'clock P. M.-Motion carried.

Each of t he different kinds of churns

which Is the best churn would provoke

The dairy of this country would to-

Ii you will do that we feel pretty sure
that you will go further in a short time,

stock altogether.
Did you, in your whole experience,
try the effect of different ratiOns upon
the quality of milk? Suppose you ex-

bran, and all these mixed. Try differ

a majority of the hay that is being
shipped into the principal markets OF

lor to the hay grown in the valleys near

n usDandman. This is considerable
al vantage in favor OF the local far
mers. They are getting from 81 to So

hay is less desirable than any upon the

quite green and nice, while the
inside is largely composed of last

some of the dealers that the dry is as

such statement. The Minnesota hay,
though inferior to our native product,
presents q good appearance in the
Market and is more desirable
than the Dakota hay. Some
allowance, however, is due for the
Dakota hay on the market this wear.
The season was dry, and, to get hay at
all, old grass, which had been left last

being sold at profit to the producer.
In ordinary years the grass grows much
longer and is better hay than the late

COWS FOR CREAM.
How the N. f.. Farmer Would
Have Them Fed for This Pur-

How the N. T.. Farmer Would
Have Them Fed for This Pur-
pose.
There has been a long-standing dis
agreement between daIrymen and scien-
fists Oh the point of changing the per-
centage of cream by the quality and
character of the food given. We have
heard the statement made from the plat
form many times that the proportion of
cream was a quality of the Individual
animal. All the while observing and
critical dairymen have known they were
changing the richness" of milk by the
character and quality of the feed given.
An extreme eXemplficgtiOn of this was
seen in the test trials of Mary Ann of
ST. Lambert and Princess ii. Later on
the scientists have explained that they
were misunderstood, or rather that they
did not state the problem as they meant
it. What they wanted to state was that
the relative proportion of the cream to
the other solids in any cows milk was
not changed by the character of the
foods eaten. This admits of the
fact which every dairyman knows,
that the proportion of water in milk is
affected by food, and is not fixed char
acterstic of the cow. The fixed rela-
ton of cream to other solids the work
of the. common dairyman does not ena-
BILE him to prove, Tor while making but
ter the other solids of the milk are not
to any extent concerned, while in MAX
ing cheese the casein of the milk is the
prominent controlling factor on quantity
rather than the cream glObules. Still, the
theory of infieXible relation between
the two classes of solids does not seem
to be proved, and in the extreme feed
ing of the two cows referred to-,
would be interesting to know whether a
continuous relation was maintained.
Certainly in the case of the tested COW,
Toltre's Fancy. where the cream line
showed seven-eighthS of the milk to be
cream, there was hardly room for like
increase of the casein solids.
More recently, however, the scientists
have conceded another point. Still in
siSting that the relation of cream to
other solids is principle fixed iii the
animal, yet they now claim its natural
proportions are not reached till the COW
is so fed as toreach her normal capacity,
and when that point is touched the
influence of feed can go no far
Their. This places her normal ca
Influence. This virtually comedies
all the dairymen have claimed, and
brings farmers and scientists in close
agreement. All there is left betw, en-
them is the unimportant point whether
there is normal capacity" beyond
which the COW is not susceptible to in
fiuence from feed. This has never been
questioned by practical men, and really
