general attack made on the poor scrub

We have always looked upon the
scrub animal with more pity and COM

The facts are as the scrub farmer gives
way TO the improved methods of agri-
culture, the scrub animal is brought up
from his lowly st.tc OF existence by
these very same influences. MANY of

try are only few generations from

According to all the ordinary pro-
cesses of preserving fodder for use in
winter months, the grass or grain has

cutting, Mt which stage much OF its
nutritious matter has been converted
into useless woody fibre. In preserv-
ing fodder by the ensilage process. the
plants are cut while they are still very
green. Indian corn is generally pre-
ferred as giving the largest yield. A
pit is eXcavatcd. 10 to II feet decu,
and walled and lloorcd with concrete.
The green fodder brought in from the
field is run through cutter, which
slices it into pieces about onc-half inch
IN length: and it falls from the cutter
into the pit. where il is troddcn down
and packed as closely rs possible.
When full, a tight floor is laid on top
and weight OF several tons is placed
upon it. The green fodder. filled with

Churnins Quality OF Cream.

Cream is delivered at the creamery
and credited by the gauge. 1t is
within comparatively few years that
any test of the quality was thought
OF. Then it was discovered that "A
certain measure might make all the
way from eight ounces of butter to
twenty-four, according TO quality.
This led to the churn test, which was
applied once q month or 80. for the
purpose of fixing a standard OF credit
for the different herds. But now it is
found that the quality may vary so
much IRON day to day, in the same
herd. that nothing but a daily test can
secure exact justice. Still the pooling
OF cream goes on. the owners OF good
herds losing what the owners OF poor
herds gain AS Il premium for infer-
GRITTY.
A daily test by any of the known
methods is almost impossible, involv-
ing too much labor and expense; and
any test short OF a churn test does not
show the churning quality OF the cream,
or what per cent of fat can be churned
out OF it. Chemical tests only show
the amount OF fat in the cream, not
what can be churned out Plainly
there can be not even an npproxima-
ton to exact justice in the pooling OF
cream or milk until we have test so
simple, cheap and expeditions that it
can be applied to every mess as it
comes to the creamery, and will show
the churning quality. Until this test
is found, intelligent owners of best
herds will steer clear OF creamery and
factory,
