How to Treat Cows Afflicted with Th

from the stomach, but is n simple
symptom OF indigestion, which may be
produced by any one of several causes.
1t is simply loss Of appetite, and the
animal does not chew because it does
not feel the need of the nutrition,
which it usually gains in that manner,
as it really gains but little or none
from the food swallowed without this
mastication, there being no digestion
of the soliG food until after it has
passed into the fourth stomach which
secretes the gastric juice Liquid food
passes directly to this, as in the case of
the calf when drinking milk, and it
may be possible that some other food
so passes without being brought up in

lLL-FLAVORED MILK.
a Simple But Effective way of Removing
the Taint.


a Simple But Effective Way of RemovlD &
the Talnt
When cows are fed on sour or moldy
ensilage, it gives an unpleasant flavor
to the milk, cream or butter, but if the
milk is heated before setting to 1876 de-
grees this tainted flavor is all removed
or, if the milk is set without heating
then the flavor may be corrected by
heating the cream, when perfectly
sweet, to the same temperature, and
the butter win be perfectly free from
the tainted flavor. The writer at one
time fed clover that waA put In the
silo, whole, and had become moldy at
the outside, the COWS eating IL eagerly,
but the milk was so badly tainted that
good butter could not be made from it
until the milk was heated as above
stated, when the butter had not
trace of the bad flavor. Tur-
nip flavor may also be removed
by heating the milk before setting.
But the flavor from onions and leells is
too punGent to be removed by such
heating. When cows have been suf
fered 10 drink from stagnant pools in
dry seasons, the milk is not only in.
iured in flavor but in healthfulness.
If such milk is heated to 140 degrees
the ill-havor is dissipated, and the but
ter made from it healtAful. 1t also
frequently happens that COWS eat more
or less ill-havored weeds in pasture,
! giving q disagreeable favor to milk
and butter, but heating is an effcctral
remedy for this. s.-Farmer' Voice.

FARM PHILOSOPHY.

SELECT the seed corn now for next
year, and put it where it will cure out
rapidly and become and remain thor
oughly dry.
A FARMER ten miles from town, on n
poor country road, is further from
market than if he were two hundred
miles away by rail
IN sowing grass and clover on poor
land do not be stingy with the seed.
The poorer the land the more seed win
fail to germinate.
ONE reason for the low average of
many crops is that we do not fight ir-
sect enemies promptly enough. There
should be no delay in dealing with
them.
If you propose to practice level culti-
walton of potatoes next season, drain
your land properly first. Otherwise the
experiment may prove very unsatis-
factory.
IRRIGATION keeps plant food in solu-
ton and uses it up more rapidly than
would otherwise be the case. When
you irrigate, supply fertilizers most
abundantly.
The low average of many crops, MS
shown by statisticians, suggests the
vast Opportunity that exists for better
and more profitable farming. Why not
take advantage of it?
GROWING for the home market first
is all right, but the American farmer
should remember that his market is
the whole world. Local demands
should not be our entire guide when
planting. Green's Fruit Grower.

WINTER CELLAR FOR BEES.

boards, paper and sawdust, and no
frost has yet penetrated it. This floor
however, is but 10 feet wide, leaving
the very wide space of feet on each
side of the building. The wooden side
walls of the building above the stone
basement are 4 feet high and there is
set of studding at each edge of the
floor, 8 feet from the outer side walls,
that run up to the rafters of the build
ing, and this space, "a feet long, feet
wide and feet deep, is filled with pine
leaves. The cellar is divided by cut
ting off feet from the front entrance
for an anteroom, leaving the actual
room for bees is feet long. The space
is divided lengthwise by a board parti-
ton into two equal rooms, 613 feet
wide by is feet long. This is for the
purpose of keeping one-half of the
bees undisturbed while the other side
is opened. The hives are placed in two
rows in each room, which when proper
ly filed will hold 100 colonies.
The ventilator opens into the back
end of each room. These are oX12
inches, made of inch boards. The
space between two rafters, is tightly
sealed with boards. At the top of
these rafters box 12x16 inches in size
and three feet high is fitted with Il
suitable opening through the roof to
communicate with the fine between
the rafters, and the ventilating tubes
from each room below are connected
with the lower end of the inclosed
space between the rafters thus secur-
ing direct communication between
each room and the outer air, There
are no windows in the cellar proper,
the openings being in the doors
through the partition of the ante-room
into each room of the cellar. When
these doors are closed it is entirely
dark. There are two windows in the
ante-room with shutters to close on the
inside. The outer door is two inches
thick and hinged on the inside. EX-
pense for the cellar was about $500,
and it has proved entirely satisfactory.
A thermometer is kept in each apart
ment and has stood at ~ degrees for
three months without changing 2 de-

winter and not a particle of moisture
has been seen on the walls summer or

land plaster in stables; I'VE use
constantly on our floors liberal guam
tity of land plaster or gypsum, which
has three effects; ~ 1t fixes the am

stable better appearance and looks
