DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Do NOT keep the bull fat. Keep him
strong in bone and muscle. Feed him
little corn.
KEEP the heifer calf growing right
along, and that cannot be done II she
is not made comfortable in winter.
ANYTHING like roots, cabbage, peas,
sweet corn and bran is suitable for
feeding the cows when the pasture is
short.
ONE part peas, two Of corn and four
of oats make ration that dairyman
declares is the best he ever used for
mich cows .~a-E,1t
TAKE the very best care of the COM
mon COW, and if she has anything in
her she will surprise you at what even
a common cow can do when she is en-
couraged.
If cow gets rheumatism or cold
at the begin ing of winter, 1t may
stick to her all through the cold wealth
er. Keep her warm and well bedded.
therefore.
WHEN a creamery is to be started do
not be in too much of hurry to make
the contract with the builder. Make
inquiry as to where you can get an out
fit the cheapest.

that the time will como when butter
will not be washed at all He claims
that by this means the aromatic odors
are washed away. We do not believe
that water helps butter.-Farmers'

The Best Cows for Butter.

None of the thoroughbred breeds OF
cows have the exclusive production OF
fine butter What are known as COM
mon COWS, if well selected and fed as
they should be, will make butter in no
way inferior to the best. The first pre-
MUM has gone far moro times to the
skill of the man or woman who made
it than the breed of cows. Seventy-fve
per cent. butter is more nearly fad
affected by the rich than a reward for
any noticeable superiority OF the but
ter. The skill in making, the dainty
manner of putting it up, and the exact
regularity of supplying the fastidious
customer, are about the only differ
ence. Some recent tests seem to show
that the milk of herd Of mixed bloods,
well fed and cared for, is the source OF
the finest favored butter. Where tho
high bloods excel is in persistent milk.

casian tea is attributed to want of ex-
pert knowledge in the planting. AS it
is confidently believed that the climatic
conditions and the nature of the soil in
certain regions Of the Caucasus are en-
tirely favorable to tea culture, new and
more practical experiments are about to

plants, with the soil still attached to the
roots and carefully packed in wooden
cases, has just been landed at Batoum,

accompanied by Is Chinese planters and
an Englishlnan who has had a long ex-
perience on China plantations.-Lond
