AMONG FARMERS.

| The stock of wheat IN private elevators
il Minneapolis, Duluth and Superior is
only about one-ffth of what it was at this
| time last year.
The Bidwell adjustable stalls are used
in the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
| The cows are confined instead OF being
| fastened, and are at perfect liberty within
| the enclosure The stall is humane rs
well as economical of time as no time is
| lost 10 securing the COW.
John Gould in The Practical Farmer
strongly urges the wisdom OF feeding
dairy cows durlng the summer something
more than they can pick up Oh dry pas
lures. He says that It is q hard matter
to secure a return Of the flow of milk
checked by insufficient food and that
true economy consists IN seillng when
pastures cease to furnish sufficient food
to keep up the regular supply OF milk.
North and South Dakota are suffering
from drouth and extremely warm weather.
Wheat is turning yellow IN spots, No
rain has visited that section since the
10Th of April. On Monday last in sec
tions Of North Dakota the thermometer
indicated temperature OF 100 in the
shade. We of the lake shore would be
pleased to relieve the Dakotas of their
surplus heat.
A Canadian Agricultural paper IN com
menting upon the superiority of Cana
dian cheese says this reputation must be
kept up, and that the most important
thing TO observe with this end IN view is
to have good pure milk. To secure this.
COWS should have nutritious food and
should not be permitted to drink stag
nant water which taints the milk. The
milk should be aerated, that is poured
from pail to pal in pure atmosphere
Milk stands should be built so as to ex-
clude sun and RAIN but to allow free
of air.
The agricultural papers are at present
ngased in discussion as TO which is the
more profitable dairy COWS or beef cattle.
The discussion was called ont by an ex-
pertinent with Is steers at the Iwoa Ag
ricultural Experiment Station to deter
mine the cost of producing beef. The
experiment showed that the increase of
beef on the steers cost 10.7 cents per 10.
Of dressed beef. A former experiment at
Cornell University showed that it costs
So cents per 100 lbs. to produce milk.
This last named fact is significant. If

then those farmers. who by the Babcock
test used by Mr.. Kellogg, receive less
than Soc. are losing money in the dairy
business. while those who are getting
S100 per 100 lbs. are making money.
The results of all experiments showed
that good feeding and good care of stock
make dairy1ng or beef-raising profitable.
