FEEDING FOR MILK.

Conclusions Reached by Experiments in
Canada.
The experiments of the Central ex-
pertinent farm at Ottawa, Can, have
been summarized as follows:
That when a COW is in full milk and
full flesh, she will give her normal
quality of milk for at least limited
time, even although the quality and
quantity of the food be very deficient.
That when in good condition a cow
will take off her body whatever is def
Gent in the food, in order to give her
normal quality of milk.
That an extra supply OF nutritious
food at all times increases the quality
of milk, but the percentage of fat is
not in any way improved by it, if any
thing the tendency being rather the
other way.
That an extra supply of nutritious
food almost invariably very slightly
increases the solids not fat of the milk.
That ration poor in food ingre-
dents has a very slight tendency to
reduce the solids not the fat in the
milk, but has. little appreciate effect
on the fat.
That with poor ration 8 COW in full
weight will lose carcass weight, while
on a rich diet she will gain weight.
That although the percentage of fat
in cows milk may vary daily, we at
present seem unable to control these
variations, or to account for them.
That for limited periods up to one
month or thereabout, all ordinary
quantities and qualities of foods seem
to have no material effect on the quail
ty of the milk.
That the only food which seems to
have any material effect on the per-
centage of butter in the milk is an ex-
cess of brewers grains.
That very succulent grass has had
only very trifiing effect in altering
the percentage of fat.
That most foods may convey some
flavor in the butter, but scarcely anv
of them will alter its percentage in the
milk.
That some foods exercise material
effect in raising the melting point of
butter.
That the aim of all producers of milk,
butter Or cheese should he to feed what
will give quantity in moderate amount
and of mixed nature, and the pro-
duce will be the best that the COW can
give.
The extra quality must be looked for
by improving the breeds and judicious
selection, rather than by any special
foods or method of feeding.
That the variations in the percentage
OF fat in cows milk are caused by
something, but what that something is
we at present do not know, though, if
we did, we might not be able to influ.

NOxiOUS GRASSES.

How to Extirpate the Nu. Grass or Coco
Pest.
A circular GllustrateD On nut grass.
.ts description and remedies, has just
been issued from. the division of bot
any of the United States department
of agriculture. In accordance with the
instructions therein contained the plan
of campaign 10 extirpate nut grass is
simply to prevent it maturing seed
above ground. Nearly everybody
thinks that The nuisance reproduces
itself from the nut alone, whereas it
propagates q thousand times more
from the seed. Hence, to ef-
fectually and quickly destroy nut
grass on any land infested
with it the soil should be frequently
stirred during the growing period of
summer SO as to stimulate each tuber
and seed to sprout. The best season
for lighting it is between midsummer
and frost time. Although myriads OF
the srrigs will show themselves above
the ground in a day or two after each
working of the soil, even in the spring
months, yet the seed stems will not
shoot up till late in the season, and the
secret of success is to cut down every
tall stem while in the towering stage
at the latest, and the earlier the bet
ter. The old method of destroying
coco, or nut grass. by cutting it
off beneath the ground every time a
sprig appears above the surface is u
useless expenditure of labor. 1t is req
uisite only to plow Or chop down the
grass at the regular intervals of work
ing Indian corn, collards. or any other
crop. BY the above method two years
are ample time in which to rid any
sufficient to subdue it, except that in
subsequent years a few scattering
sprigs will show themselves, which
can easily be prevented from going to
seed by close attention. One cause
that has enabled coco SO long and so
defiantly to hold its sway in the south
is that there are so few crops which
are Aoed or plowed in the fall OF the
year.
In addition to the above methods of
destroying nut grass by cultivation
and cutting. another which has re-
ceiyed too little attention may be
profitably applied. Choke it out with
vigorous crop. After the summer
cultivated crop is harvested. plow and
prepare the land thoroughly; then
seed it heavily to some winter crop
adapted to the soil. Crimson clover is
the best for the purpose in most locali-
ties, and is at the same time a very
profitable crop for improving light
soils and for winter grazing. Winter
vetch may be used to advantage
in some places; and cropping with
rye Or rescue grass for winter grazing.
to be turned under for green fertilizer
in the spring, is far preferable to leav-
ing the land bare. The winter crop in
any case should be plowed under in the
spring and followed by a weli-cul-
tivated summer crop The increased
fertility Of the soil resulting from the
treatment will enable the farmer much
more easily to kill out any remnant of
mt grass or other weeds.
Extreme care should be exercised
that only pure seed be sown, for by the
thonghtless use of impure seed the
farmer is fostering the evil which at
other times he is trying by costly labor
to prevent.
