MoLAssEs FOR o
It's Fattening Properties Are Said to Be
Great and Beneficial

Great and Beneficial
Owing to the recent changes in leg
islation in regard TO beet-root sugar in
Europe, the question of how to dispose
of the residuum molasses to the best
advantage has assumed paramount i'm
portance. 1t is proposed to turn the
Inolasses into food for cattle. Already
on several European markets a product
is sold for stock feed containing 60 per
cent molasses, 40 per cent. cocoa oil
cake, which costs a fraction more than
one cent per pound. Another fodder is
composed of 20 per cent. cottonseed
-four, 40 per cent palm nuts and 40 per
cent. molasses. Some factories under
take their own mixing, and the sub
stance produced contains Il per cent.
protein, , per cent fatty matter and so
per cent. non-nitrogenous matter.
The results Of feeding cattle on these
rations have been most satisfactory.
Sheep have also been fattened on a
molasses diet. One of the best WAYS of
giving molasses to cattle is to mix it
with their drinking water, and aston
ishing success has been obtained by
adding to the water given to cattle
about two pounds molasses per diem
per head. AS cavalry horses have
been found to do good work on a on
tinuous diet of sugar, it has
been thought that cattle might
thrive on molasses alone. This belief,
however, has been disproved by
Prof. Maercker, who concluded that
the maximum of molasses that it was
advisable to feed per 1000 pounds live
weight and per diem was 3 to 4 pounds
for oxen and 215 pounds for mich
cows. That this was a wise restriction
has been evident by the results that
have followed when the proportion of
molasses was exceeded. Experts now
say that the best results are obtained
by using 80 per cent. of fodder and so
per cent. of molasses. The utilization
of nolasses for cattle-feeding is not
new; it has been practiced in many
countries for over half a century. In
the West Indies one of the events of
the beginning of crop on the sugar
estates is the first feed of chop
tops given to the working cattle. The
top part of the sugar-cane is sliced fine
in a cutting machine and piled into
troughs. Rock salt is then pounded
fine and strewn over the fodder and
over all is thrown a top-dressing Of
rich molasses. The cattle revel in the
mixture, and after having fairly gorged
themselves, they will linger to suck up
the molasses hat has trickled down
into the bottom of the trough. Before
many weeks have passed they are fat
and shining, and horses and sheep,
which also take kindly to the food,
give ample evidence of its fattening
and beneficial! properties. st. Louis

the hay carrier pulley above and the
other to harpoon. The length of the
wood piece is such as to Just allow of
the hay to clear the tie Z. To each
p~urline, B and c in cut, is attached Il
pulley near middle of bay. Over each
of these pulleys passes a rope; one end
is fastened to the attachment at Z and
the other end hangs loosely in the bay.
Be sure the ropes are long enough to
reach to bottom of hay when the har-
poon is on the wagon.
The operation is as follows: After
the harpoon is loaded and it is desired
to drop the hay toward the end of bay

the end OF rope at D, and pulls the
harpoon toward the pulley Il, while
the mar on the load pulls the trip

is the same. The attachment A is val

issued general instructions to the farm
ers 10 give better feed and care to their
lows and to employ suitable ratious of
a kind that will give flavor and texture
to the butter. Fermented feed is not
recommended. The question of wash
ing the butter still remains an open
one, the two processes producing
equally good results. General practice,
however, tends rather to the discon-
tinuance of the washing. The inquiry
has aroused public interest in the diff
ferent breeds of cattle. Our illustra-
ton represents what is termed the

dominates in the northeastern part of
France and the adjoining kingdom of
Belgium.

Goats Pay Better Than sheep

A Missouri farmer writes that he
finds goats profitable for rough land
filed with weeds and bushes. He has
had goats for four years, and they have
destroyed the bushes, sumach and
small persimmon trees. His hogs have
been free from disease, while all
around him farmers who did not keep
goats lost most of their hogs by chol-
era. The writer says that the meat Of
young goats is better than mutton.
The wool of sheep is now worth so lit
tie hat the question is worth thinking
of whether 4 few goats may not be
kept with profit IN rough land insult
ed to cultivation in some of the eastern
states.-Rural World

A NEW CATTLE FOOD,
Meat of Sunfower Cake Now Used In Many
Parts of Europe.

Z Va N"hc w" AA a
Parts of Europe.
Sunflower cake has been found, es-
pecially in Russia, one of the best
auxiliary cattle foods. AS early as the
year 1866 about 100, 900 centners of sun
flower oil Toll of the seeds of Helian-
thus %annuus) were manufactured in
Russia. and its amount has increased
year by year, it being esteemed as a
very palatable alimentary oil. The
oil was formerly obtained by hydraulic
means; the residual cake is harder
than any other variety of oil cake, and
for this reason apparently it has not
found a wider application. Denmark
and the northern countries import
large quantities annually, as do also
the eastern provinces of Germany. and
the problem of its d~isintegration has
been successfully solved by several
manufacturers there. 1t is still I'M
known in southern and western Ger
many; now however. that it is put OF
the market in the form of meal il will
doubtless soon find general applica-
ton, suited, as it is. both on account
of its composition and pleasant taste,
for fattening cattle. The percentage
of proteid varies between about 80 to Al
per cent, the fat between about 0 to IS
per cent. 1t is possible to prepare two
qualities, one rich in proteid and poor
in fat, and the other rich in fat and
poor in proteid. When, for example,
the somewhat Underground meal is
sifted, EMPLOYING a mesh of l mm.,
that which passes through is much
richer in proteid and poorer in fat
than the original, while the reverse is
true of that which remains in the sieve.

ence in Dyeing- Carpets Where
the Color Stays as Bright as
When New.
Within the last few years science has
been at work in the matter of dyeing,
and the results are the fast diamond
dyes for cotton, pink, pur-
pie. orange, oive-green, brown, etc.
These dyes make cOlOrs so fast that even
washing in strong soap-suds will not
start them. If woman is sure to get
the fast diamond dyes for cotton when
she wants to dye cotton, she will be able
to dye absolutely fast, nOn-fadlng colors
that will stay until the goods are worn
out.
A practical dyer, writing in the
Vedcers' Herdld says, II used to dye
with roots and banks, but after all my
work, (and it was tedious job ! was
not satisfied, for the colors were hOmely
and often faded. At last | commenced
to use diamond dyes, and the process Is
so simple and easy that the work is a
pleasure. | have used carpets made of
rags dyed with diamond dyes three
years and the colors are still as bright
AS when new"
Many of the diamond dye fast cotton
colors are so superior to other dyestuffs
that they are used by dyers everywhere,
even in the big mills and the large dye
houses. Imitators OF these reliable dyes
may claim that their cotton dyes are
lust as good" but practical tests prove
the diamond is the only kind that makes
colOrs which soap will not wash out or
sunlight fade.
The diamond dyes come in nearly
fifty different cOlors, for silk, wool and
cotton and will dye anything, from a
pair of stockings to a dress or cloak.
