IMPROVEMENT IN COWS.
Their Present Condition Greatly ExeeIs
Their Original State.


Their Original State.
The improvement in the cows of the
various dairy breeds during the past
thirty years has been marked Their
present condition greatly excels their
original one in the countries of their
origin. Their yields exceed by fifty
per cent what it was when they first
came among us This has been accom-
plished by better feed than they re-
ceived in their former homes. The in
ference of our thought is the relation
and correlation of food to product. OF
course it is an established belief based
on the experiments Of the stations that
butter cannot be fed into the milk.
This is true of the herd that are main
tanned by them, because they are fed
to the limit Of their capacity to turn
food into product, and hence no in
crease can occur. But the average
dairy COW is not so fortunately envi-
roned as the station one. Her ration is
not so generous a one, nor is it fur
nished her with the same clockwork
regularity. With the sparsely-fed cow
whose food is inferior great enrich
ment of product is possible, wher
richer rations are substituted. Under
such treatment the milk will be richer,
and its butter product greater without
corresponding increase of its volume.
The more inferior the food the cow has
been accustomed to previously the more
marked will be the enrichment of her
product. The conditions of her exist
ence have changed, and the response is
in obedience to her more favorable en-
vironment. This seemingly disproves
the experiments of the stations, but it
should be borne in mind that the con-
ditions that permit 1t are unknown at
them. 1t Is for that reason that we
are constantly urging on dairymen the
Importance of feeding literally to the
limit of each individual cows capacity,
that her product may be enriched for
the benefit of the man that boards her.

BARBED WIRE FENCES.
They Were Used In France as Long Ag

They Were Used In France as Long Ago
as 1861 and 1865.
The writer has already called atten-
ton 20 French patents Of Grassin-
Baledans, 1861, and Jannin, 1865, for
barbed wire fences, which are both an
terror to the earliest date Of invention
set up by the first American patentee of
a barbed wire fence, who, as is veil
known, provided the wires Of wire
fence with a series Of spur wheels.
Almost about the same time a Breton
brick manufacturer, Gilbert Gavillard,
received a French patent, dated August
q, 1867, No. 1850, for a barbed wire
fence, which may be described as fol-
lows, by following as nearly as possible
the French description:
This fence is composed Of three gall
vanized wires and of spines, also gal
vanized, placed between and clamped
by two strands, while the heads are
covered by the third strand. These
strands of galvanized wire are twisted
together, so as to present iron thorns
on all their faces In order to form a
fence, II suffices TO plant posts in the
ground and attach thereto, by means of
iron wire hooks, three of these artificial
thorny branches, which are placed at
sufficient distance apart to prevent an

stacle.
A drawing annexed to the patent is
herewith reproduced.
1t will be seen that it presents, in a
very striking way, how an OK is pre-
vented from reaching an apple on the
other side of the barbed fence. AL
though the drawing does not show the
form of the barbs, it is evident that
they are L-shaped, and that the third
wire or strand prevents the barbs
from dropping out by locking them in
place between the two other strands.
