DrOuth and Melk Production.

Bulletin No. 105 from the N. Y. Ag-
ricultural Station (Geneya) treats or
the effects of drought upon milk pro-
duction. The object Of the bulletin is
to display the results of a study OF the
milk production of fifty herds of COWS
during the season of 1895 from the first
of May to the first of November The
purpose of this study was to determine
the changes in the composition OF
milk as affecting the yield of butter
and cheese, especially the latter, as we'll
as to ascertain the variations IN the
actual production from these herds
during this period of time, when the
cows received only such food as the
pastures afforded. Stated in general
terms, the results are the following:
l. With the exception Of the month
of September, the pounds of fat IN lOO
lbs. of milk increased steadily from
May to November.
2. The percentage of casein dimin-
ished through May. June and July, and
then increased through August, Sep
TENDER and October.
8. The cheese-producing power OF 1O(
lbs. of milk increased through May
June and July, and then steadily ant
rapidly increased through August, Sep
TENDER and October.
4. The total cheese yield was larges
in June, and then rapidly diminished
through July, August, September ant
October, with the exception Of an in
crease in September over the yield o
the preceding month. The same coul'
be said of the butter capacity OF tn
total milk produced.

The Foolish Dairyman.

And It came to pass that in the sixth
month a certain man digged a we'll
20 cubits deep. It's walls were OF stone,
and when he had built the wall Tor IL
cubits he had no more stone. Ana ne
sayeth to himself: 1t will do, and nm
isheth it off with a few boards.
And in the tenth month there came
great food, and the boards were
washed away, and the well caved H.
and 1t cost him many shekels before ne
could get water again from the well.
The same man buyeth COW. and ne
seeth two cows, one that giveth mucn
milk and one that giveth not so much.
And he buyeth the one that giveth not
so much milk, for he sayeth she cost
eth not SO many shekels, and she Will
do.
When he feedeth the COW he giveth
her not much feed. for he sayeth feed
e not plenty, and she getteth enough.
And when he buyeth milk pail he
buyeth a small one, for he sayeth the
COW giveth not much milk.
81 And 1t came to pass when he wash
eth the milk pail that the water was
not hot. and he sayeth it will do Ant
when he selleth the butter he gettetf
not many shekels, for the butter was
not goos

that science has been able to cure mall its stages
and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh cure IS INC
Nnlv nnSitive cure now known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment halls

THE FIRST FROST
Cures Hay Fever, But Aggra\ates
Catarrh.

With the first frost may return an
old catarrh that has been imperfectly
cured. Suppose the proper treatment
for eatarrh was commenced towards
spring; say catacrh OF the head, stom-
ach. lungs, bladder or other organs
Bv the time hot weather sets in the
disease may seem to be nearly cured.
The relaxing effect of the heat OF sum-
mer, the absence of colds, ETC., assist
in making the patient think that his
catarrh is cured permanently. Then,
instead of continuing the Pe-ru-na I'M
til the affected mucous membranes are
entirely cured, the medicine is left OFT
too soon and the catarrh may return
with the first frost which ushers in
cold weather.
When this is the case the treatment,
which consists of the internal use OF
Pe.ru-na, should be renewed at once.
Much time and expense will b, saved,
as a cure in the beginning can be ex-
pected often with single bottle. But
postponing the treatment until mid
winter much longer time will be re-
ouired to affect cure. Catarrh is in
flammation of mucous surface, and
wherever located the inhammatory &C
ton is of chronic or sub-acute char
acter, producing little or no pain. This
fact often deceives the patient to think
that the disease is only trivial dis
turbance, and thus neglect it until il
becomes formidable. Much and long
suffering follows this very common
mistake. Treatment with Pe-ru-ns
should therefore be commenced a.
early as possible; preferably with th'
first frost. or first symptom OF its re
turn. Pe-ru-na, so far as the write
has been able to discover, is the onl.
reliable cure for this disease. 1t
equally effective in all stages OF thi
almost universal complaint. The mum
: Der of persons entirely free from ca
4 tarrh must be very small indeed.

that the number of rainy days in tho

BUY Milk on Merit.-As farmers are
becoming more educated, however, they
are gradually awakening to the fact
that, apart from adulteration or Skim
ming, there are other causes which
regulate the amount Of butter fat in
milk. and the man who takes the trou-
BILE and knows how to control these
causes will no longer be content to ac-
cept the same price as his neighbor
gets for poorer milk, but will insist on
being paid for every extra fraction in
the percentage Of fat which it contains
over and above it. Creamery owners
are also beginning to see the absurdity
n paving for some milk more than it
ia really worth, and the injustice of not
giving the owner Of the rich milk the
full value of his commodity. Payment
according to quality raises the stand
ard of milk in general, by giving those
suppliers who know how to do so
every encouragement to produce the
| richest possible milk, and, by making
| dishonesty improbable, the most eff
fectiye means O, checking it. Payment
ON any other system puts premium
on dishonesty, and causes intelligent
farmers, in many instances, who pay
attention to the breeding and general
management of their cattle, to get dis
gusted with the creamery system when
they see the most Indifferent and dis
honest persons getting quite as good 9
price for their milk.-Farmers' Gazette

eggs for Matching this sum-
mer says Farm Poultry. A neigh
Dor had admired the White Wyandottes
ouite frequently, and expressed wish
to buy a sitting of eggs. Mr.. 5. told
him he had none to spare this year,
wanted them all himself. After he was
all done setting hens for the season the
neighbor came again and wanted eggs.
Mr.. S. told him he wasn't keeping them
separate, but thought he knew the
White Wyandotte eggs pretty well, anu
could pick out sitting. Feeling not
quite certain, however, he put in seven
teen eggs, thinking he would surely
get dozen that were right. five OF
six weeks afterward the nelgnDor
stopped as he was riding past, ana on
being asked how the eggs came out,
expressed himself as not very wen
pleased-said he thought they must De
from rather poor stock. On being ques-
toned he said he got but nine chickens
and that they had begun to die on ny
the time they were week OLD, anu
he had but four left now. Being asked
II the hen had attended them faith
fully, the man said she was hen ne
borrowed from a neighbor, anu ne
thought the weather was SC warm INC
chicks didn't need her, and he returned
her when they were two or three Gays
old. Asked If he mad only one men
to put the eggs under, he said he hao
only one. There was only one sitting
Of eggs, and he didn't think he needed
more than one hen. Asked II she was
busted for lice, the man said, mo, and
by the way, the chicks were awfully
lousy. You could see the lice craving

their heads"
And he thought it poor stock!

Bantams are both the par excellence

make the best of pets because their
pompous, strutting ways, coupled with
their ridiculously insignificant size,
render them objects of great attention

they lay many eggs, which, though

''In regard to the question whether
