How the Fat Gets into the Milk.

1t has long been disputed point as
to how the ia. gets into the milk. Some
claim that the fat must be fed TO the
cows, as fat in the food, ald Dr.. Henry
Stewart says that this fat is emulsifed,
taken up 10 the circulation and thus
reaches the udder. Professor Mitcher,
of the New Hampshire Experim emf
Station, in letter to Hoard'S DARN.
and we believe he is right in the matter,
the proof he gives being, to our mind,
conclusive. He gives the following as
his conclusions: O Fat is actually
formed in the animal body, and is not
merely stored up from the fat of the
food. (2) The carbon elements of the
wly-formed fat may be supplied
either from starchy food, or from the
carbon surplus of protein food, or from
fats taken as food which are not natural
constituents of the body-sat. A pound
of oil poured down cows throat does
not make pound of butter-fat in her
milk; and there is no use in claiming
that il does, and the whole tendency of
regarding the cows udder as a filter
having for its function the sorting out
of fat, caseine and sugar from the Flood
which comes through ii is mschievous,
chiefly because it is not so, and leads
| men to expect miracles in the milk
through manipulations in the manger.
Lawes and Gilbert have shown by
direct analysis that for every 100 parts
of fat in the food of fattening pig,
.472 parts were stored up as fat during
the fattening period. And Professor
Mitcher quotes Professor Foster as say
ing: " 1t is clear that fat is formed IN
the body, out Of something t0hich is not
tdt." He puts that sentence in italics
= to call attention TO the conclusion of
so eminent Psychologist as Mr.. Fos-
ter" If these conclusions are Just,
! and we believe they are just, we must
make a litLle-yes, big-change in our
ideas of rations for dairy cows, and in
fact for all kinds of stock. 1t will no
longer do TO base our judgment of the
value OF butter ration upon the
amount of fat it contains, for the " fat
is formed in the body out of something
which is not fat" When we come to
consider the matter we can easily see
that COW making-well, as an example,
take the Jersey COW Bisson's Belle
which recently completed years test,
making l 1923 pounds of butter; does
any one suppose that she actually ate,
as food, 1,02S pounds of pure fat? A
good part of her ration was grass, but
even if she had been fed dry feed
during the whole time her test lasted
she could not have consumed that
enormous weight of fat in her feedl
No, "a pound of oil poured down a
cows throat does not make pound of
butter-fat in her milk" nor will the fat
in her feed account for near all of the
fat in her milk. We believe Professor
Mitcher's conclusions will stand.

THESE later importations were made
with these facts in mind, and the very
longest-keeping apples were sought for
by our friends in their investigating
travels. Although eight years is a very
short time to get into full bearing these
new corners in our orchards, enough is
already known to fully settle it that
Russia has many large, hand some and
good winter apples. But it will still
take some time to decide which among
these are the most productive and mer-
charitable, and to grow stocks of them
for. general introduction. Judging by
past experience, it will probably be
twenty years before these apples will
begin to be plenty amongst us. 1t has
taken as long as that to introduce our
own best iron-clad" winter apples,
such as Wealthy, Scott's Winter,
Bethel, Winter St. Lawrence and
Canada Baldwin. We have some dozen
or more of the Winter Russians, but
cannot yet positively choose between
them. We at present incline to favor
a very fine, vigorous and early-bearing
sort called Bogdanoff" (meaning
" God-given'O; but there are several
others of nearly equal merit. We need
to have them in quantity, rather than
to try to determine between them by
the behavior and quality of few speci-
mems. The trees of nearly all of them
are fine thrifty growers and early
bearers.

The Silo.

1t is question whether it is wise to
silo corn without cutting. But few do
1t, and Is 1t not probable that in getting
it out of the silo and feeding it, the un-
cut corn entails more labor and expense
than it would cost TO cut it INFO the
silo? As to cutting it when it comes
out, that seems to be out of the oues-
ton. Henry Talcott, of Ohio, who
has tried both ways of SLIDING corn
that is, cut and uncut-has concluded
that it does not pay to put corn into the
silo uncut. i shall never advise fill.
ing silos with whole cornstalks. We
have tried it two winters, but it does
not distribute the grain evenly. 1t is
hard job to cut it up in the win err time
or get il out of the pits in any wav or
shape to feed, and the cattle have a big
time pulling and hauling to get the ears
OF corn before they will eat up the
whole stalks. To fork out or pull out
or get out of pit from ten 10 fif-
teen feet deep, corn stalks-wet, Shiny,
stringy stuff-begets the height of ex-
ASPIRATION and greatest need for
prayer" One man writes us that he
cuts it out with a broad axe, and
another says he uses a common hay
knife. But we doubt if it pays to silo
whole cornstalks.-Hodrd'S Ddiryman.

Right Temperature for Churning.

l have recently had occasion to help
out several friends who say, IL have
churned five hours" Zone said " all day
and evening ", "and there is no sign
of butter; nothing but foam; though
after standing awhile there is butter
milk at the bottom. Can you tell Inc
what to do to bring the butter?" As 1
could not learn that they had failed in
previous care of the cream, / have
answered.: Warm it to seventy or
seventy-fve degrees and churn till you
get butter; then cool (by pouring in
cold water), say to sixty-five degrees,
and finish churning; draw the butter
milk, and wash as Usual" l have been
churning at seventy-five degrees now
for more than month, and get fine,
solid butter in twenty minutes. The
one point to guard against is churning
too much before cooling-you must
stop as soon as granules form. When
cows have given milk for long period,
especially if fed dry fodder, the butter
oils become harder than in the earlier
stages of milking, and will not cohere
at as low temperature. Correspondent

A Practical Education.

The Storrs Agricultural School was
established " for the education of boys
whose parents are citizens of the state"
This institution, located in the town of
Mansfield, affords rare opportunity
for young men desiring short, practi-
cal course in the sciences especially re-
lating to agriculture and horticulture.
Students are taken directly from the
common schools-a preparatory year
being provided for those not fitted to
enter the regular two years course.
The cost is very moderate. In the
past many students have paid nearly
their entire expenses by work upon the
farm and about the buildings and the
grounds. A well equipped farm of $50
acres affords means for practical instruc-
ton, this being found valuable sup
plement to the scientific teachings of
the class room. The importance of
thorough education for farmers is more
fully appreciated than ever before.
Farmers and farmers sons should look
into the merits of this-the agricultural
school of Come cticut-and profit by
the advantages there afforded COnnec-
tic,u Farmer.

A Study in Black and White.

The general average of total solids
in the milk sold in Boston has risen
considerably. The improvement has
come more from shutting out milk that
was watered freely and some that was
perennially poor than from any special
improvement in average fairly-kept
herds through feeding or handling.
The analyses have also compelled the
owners of poor herds to study the ques-
tion OF breeds as influencing the quality
of milk, and now it is difficult to sell a
well.informed farmer black and white

BUT what have interested us more
than the apples, since we have found
so many good American iron-clads,-
have been the Russian pears, plums
and cherries. After trying vainly for
more than twenty years to get hold of
a single one of these classes of tree
fruits that would successfully endure
the hard winters of Northeastern Yer
mont, and having consigned all our nu-
merous experimental trees to the brush
heap, it was with hardly faith enough
to plant them that we received the first
young trees sent to us in 1883 and
afterwards by Professor Budd and Mr..
Glib. None of them fruited until 1889
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1891-09-23

and 1890, when we got few cherries
and plums; but before that we had
abundant proof that we had got hold of
cherries and plums quite as hardy as
our native wildings. When the cher
ries fruited it was plain to be seen that
they belonged almost exclu ,ively to the
Morello type, but much harder than
the More.los Of Western Europe.
This class of cherries, as is well known,
have the popularity of coloring their
fruit long before they are ripe, and in
fact before they are fully grJwn-thus
rend yring them subject for much
longer time TO the attacks of BIRDS. But
aside from this there is now not the
least trouble in growing all the cherries
