Dairy Notes.

Cream is ripe when it has a glossy
appearance.
Water should not be given to cows
Immediately after a hearty meal. Let
an hour or more elapSe.
There is no objection, nay some ad-
vantage in using butter color If you
don't Over-dO the matter.
Cows are not kept for their company,
therefore why let them go dry four to
six months out of the year?,
Milk when pure and fresh can. be
heated without injury, but cream must
not be heated after it becomes acid.
OF course every dairy farmer has
laid in supply Of ice for next sum-
mers USE It is something you need
in your business.
A creamery, when rightly conducted,
Is a blessing to any community, but it
takes a good while for some farmers
to see the point,
Dark cow stables are an abomination
because disease Is an abomination, and
darkness Is conducive to disease, Let
in the sunlight
If you keep your milk and cream in
the cellar along with turnips, potatoes
and rotten pumpkins, and have no 9th
er place to keep it, sell your cows.
Cream sometimes becomes bitter If
raised in pans at temperature too low
for the milk to sour Milk in pans
should be sour in thirty-six hours.
We have seen farmers kick their
cows without mercy. How much more
sensible it would be for them to kick
the stable door, and the same result
would be attained-they would give
their wrath vent

A board set up in front Of the On
trance of the outdoor hives on warm
DAYS may shade them enough to pre-
vent the bees from coming out and get
ting chilled while on the wing. Mrs
Axtell, of RosevilTc, Ill, is an adVo-
cate Of this plan.
Save the poultry droppings by plac-
ing them in barrels or boxes and keep
ing them from contact with the rain
or snow.
One important point in the care OF
poultry is sharp grit, and unless fowls
have this grit to properly grind their
grain food, sickness will enSue.
Keep the laying hens busy. That is,
give them exercise by throwing their
grain feed upon the floor and covering
with chaff, cut straw and the like.
Perhaps the low price Of wheat
brings with it compensations. Farms
are never made rich by selling off
grain, and the low price Of this cereal
has increased the amount Of it that is
fed at home In fact, it has been the
means of teaching some farmers that
wheat is gotd to feed.
help that will take as much interest in
your success as you do in your own.
Keep this in mind, remembering that
it is only human nature, and however
good your hands may be look after the
details of your work in person. Cnless
you do this you will be very apt to find
s.me things neglected.
The surest road to fertile farm is
by way of the barnyard and the man
ure therein. The farmer who ignores
this and depends upon chemical fertili-
zers for the making of his crop, is not
wise. They will not answer for the
main dependence although they are
often valuable for supplementing the
homemade supply.
1t may be that you are growing all
that you can, or that you have room
for, of the staples, and so think that
yo'lr farm is producing to the utmost
capacity. But possibly you could add
some very small area of a special crop.
and find that by so doing you had in
creased the earning power Of the farm
materially.

Why IA Fine of $5 Is Imposed foR
killing This Bird i'm Utah.
Most interesting of the birds that we
saw on our daily way to the pasture
were the gulls, great, beautiful, snowy
creatures, who looked strangely out Of
place so far away from the seashore.
Stranger, too, than their change of resi-
dence was their change of manners,
from the wild, unapproackable sea
birds, soaring and diving, and apparent
ly spending their lives on wings. From
this high place in our thoughts, from
this realm Of poetry and mystery, to
come down almost to the tameness of
the barnyard fowl is o marvellous trans
formation, and one is tempted to be-
lieve the solemn announcement of the
Salt Lake phophet that the Lord sent
them to his chosen people.
The occasion of this alleged special
favor to the Latter Day Saints was the
advent, about twenty years ago. of
clouds of grasshoppers, before which
the crops Of the Western states and ter
ritOries were destroyed as by fire. 1t
was then, in their hour of greatest need,
when the food upon which depended a
whole people was threatened, that
these beautiful winged messengers ap-
peared. In large 1OckS they came.
from no one knows where, and settled,
like so many SparrOWs, all over the
land, deyOuring almost without ceasing

it any wonder that people trained to
regard the head of their church as
the direct representative of the Highest
should believe these to be really birds
of God, and should accordingly cherish
them? Well would it be for themselves
if other Christian people were equally
believing and protected and cherished
other winged messengers sent Just as
truly to protect their crops.
The shrewd man who welded the des-
TIMES of his people beside the Salt
lake secured the future usefulness Of
what they considered the miraculous
visitation by fixing a penalty of S.

and settling down at once in the furrow

Feeding Clear Corn Meal.

Do all farmers know that feeding
clear corn meal to dairy COWS in win
ter is a dangerous practice? 1 knew it
fifty years ago, because my father told
me so, but did not know for certain
that I did know it, until spoiled seven
different cows trying to find out the
truth. 1t is such a heating food, that
COWS about to come in fresh milk
should never be fed clear corn meal.
1t will cause garget in the old COWS
udder, and small kernels in the teats,
and you always have a deuce of a
time getting them all right after calv-
ing. and generally lose one teat the
first year, another the next season, and
there is nothing left to do with such an
animal but make beef of it.
Since l came to my senses on this
important subject I have used over a
hundred different COWS in my dairy
business and have never had a single
case of garget since quit feeding clear
corn meal to COWS. l sometimes feed
a one-fourth ration of meal with Il
three-fourth ration Of bran or oats
safely, but I do hope other farmers are
not so stubborn as l am naturally, and
will not lose so much money getting
this information rubbed into themH.

Have you any idea why 1t is that rats
mice and squirrels are continually
gnawing at something? They do not do
this for pure devilment" as people
generally imagine, but because they
are forced to. Animals Of that class
especially the rats, have teeth which
continue to grow as long as their own

teeth are developed from pulps which
are absorbed and disappear as soon
as the second set are full grown, but in
the case Of the much n,aligned rat the
pulp supply is perpetual, and Is CON

Curing Boiler Incrustntion by Pc
trOleum.

Petroleum, which is one of the most
useful liquids in commercial use, has
appeared in a new role. 1t is said that
it affords the best remedy yet known
for boiler incrustation. The petroleum
is either squirted against the inside
walls Of the boiler after the latter has
been deaned, or it is added to the
water of the boiler when full, 50 that
when the water is slowly run off
the petroleum acts gradually ON the
sedimentary deposit, rendering it SO
loose and brittle that it can be easily
removed by tools, or even by a power
full stream of water. So far no preju-
dicial action of the petroleum on the
boiler plates has been noticed. 1t is
said that the state railways admins

leum as an incrustatiOn-remOvi me-
