SOLIDS IN MILK.

4 g.
s : Tho fact that milk Is liquid In form de.
ceives many persons as to Its nutritive
value, as well as regards the character OF
food needed to produce 1t. Farmers
know by experience that mangolds OF
other bsets, whilo often grSWotaYpS, ~ Moor
large fow q ofyly wils reduce the flesh Of PH the
,Bw. This fact is explained by the
chemical analysis Of milk, which shows
only eighty five per cent. of water, while
che msngolds have ninety one per cent.
Fodder corn when green has eighty per
cent. Of water, but il contains even less
proportion of nitrogenous matter than
the mangolds. Good milk is rich in two
important and valuable elements. It's
carbon is in the form of fat, and is shown
in cream and butter. Its nitrogcnous
matter shows when the milk is sourcd,
making curd and cheese. Unless both
these elements arc furnished in tho food,
the milk can only be good at the expense
OF the cow.-iBoston Cultirator.
MAINTAINING FERTILITY OF THE FARM. >

ward had the following to say on main
tanning fertility OF the soil:
s---'s Rotation will not save land. II puts
of the calamity OF exhaustion. It sim
ply egualizss the ratio OF exhaustion. 1t
Is said 'tillage is manure TiIlagc does
not add any manure. 1t works il out
faster. Weeds are better than bare land.
Summer. following is a very expensive
process. ! had rather grow weeds and
plow them under. 1t would bo better
for the land. Bare land loses its am
monia. Sow rye in tho corn to conserve
the fertility. Naked earth is a losing
earth. How shall We make fertility!
We can do IL by the purchase of com.
mercial fertilizers; but this system is too
costly, unless for special crops. Another
way is by means of stable manure. Il
havc,' Mr.. Woodward said, 'banished
the word barnyard from my vocabulary.
A barnyard is nuisance. My stable
manure paid mo last winter, by feeding
stock, over 81 u load profit over and
above all it cost. I buy cottonsecd and
linseed meal, middlings and bran, and
my manure comes from these foods fed
