While he should have protection from
the inclemencies of the weather at the
same time he should have fresh air,
and as much Of the winter sunshine as
possible.
The value of sunshine in the develop
nlent of young stock is by few appre-
ciated fully. In fact, the value of sun
shine is no longer a mooted question:
SO that in the construction of hog
houses it's admission must be provided
for if we desire healthy quarters.
A cheap and convenient pig shed
may be made after the style In use by
Brown & Luce, Shelbina, Mo. These
pens may be either single and movable
or built more cheaply, two or more to-
gether. The usual size of a narrowing
pen is six by seven feet. The walls,
which are double, face the south. In
the accompanying Fig. 1, the front
walls, d D D, are three feet high and
the openings above three feet by six
feet. Each opening may be closed with
a swing door, B, as shown in pen l.
To open this door for ventilation and
light or other purposes swing it back
as shown at G in pen adjoining, and
the same wooden bolt that fastens the
door when closed may by a very sim
pie arrangement be made to secure the
door to the rafters out of the way.

MILK AND BUTTER TESTS.
Dairy Farmers of What
should be Their Greatest Con-

Dairy Farmers Unaware of What
Should be Their Greatest Com
Germ.
No one can doubt, says the Mark
Lane Express, that there are affluent
milk yielding cows. which are not re-
m%unerative butter making cows, and
that every dairy farmer should ascer-
tain whether the individual animals in
his herd adapted for the purposes to
which the milk is applied; very few
do this, and great losses are %occasioned
in consequence. The fact has been
shown over and over again that unless
the separate Weddings of each COW be
weighed after milking, periodically,
the owner would be ignorant of the
animals performance, or whether her
yield is up to the standard requisite to
give profit or not, Keeping each cows
milk separate for butter making would
be tiresome. AS there are chemical
tests and instruments for ascertaining
the composition of milk, it is far easier
to resort to them than to adopt the
other alternative. In the generality of
cases, however, nothing of the kind is
even attempted, and the dairy farmer
remains totally n of what ought
L pC llS GlCotCSl IL
vidual capabilities of each COW he
owns to do what he expects from her.
Hence, the utility of butter tests and
milking trials to show how very va
ried are the Weddings of cows. both in
milk and butter, and how much better
certain varieties are for butter making
than others.
At the Tring show, Capt. Brands
Jersey COW, Joyful Girl, gave A
pounds Of milk per day. which was
about Az gallons English gallons; but
this milk was rich enough in ream to
produce 2 pounds 1O& ounces Of but
ter. Mr.. Buckmaster's Shorthorn,
Strawberry. however, gave as much as
rs pounds 8 ounces of milk, yet yielded
less butter than the Jersey. In one
instance, another Shorthorn yielded
only 1 pound 8 ounces of butter from
SO pounds 10 ounces of milk; and still
another only 1 pound 5 ounces from
46 pounds IL ounces Of milk; conse-
| quently the animals ought to be adapt
ed to the purposes the milk in istended
to serve AS a rule, Suorthorns, al
though in many cases the best animals
that can be kept where the milk is sold
or converted into cheese, are not so
profitable for butter making as Jerseys,
and we may add several varieties.

American Butter Abroad.

1t is gratifying to know that there
is one American product to exclude
which Great Britain has not yet taken
any steps. and which that country
finds of even better quality than like
competing products imported from
other countries. Our British cotem-
porary. the Farming World, refers
10 the fact that the president Of the
Board Of Agriculture has been test
ing imported butter. It says:
One of the laudable steps taken by
the present president Of the board of
agriculture since his accession to Of
fee has been TO test the butter i'm
ported at the time it Is landed at our
ports. 1t Is stated on good authority
that since September last the experts
of the board of agriculture have an
alyzed 291 samples of imported but
ter, and that in no fewer than seven
ty-nine instances adultcration in the
form of an admiXture of foreign fat
has been detected. The whole of the
adulterated samples came from the
continent Of Europe, butter from the
United States and the colonies having
come successfully through the ordeal
' ohuIS rs tbiVt oiLCiitttbG
countries were Germany and Holland,
but Russia and Denmark also fur
nished some impure specimens. Now
it is a most unfair state of matters,
both for the home producer and con-
sumner, when no fewer than ~ per
cent of the samples tested are pro-
nounced to be adulterated. Marga-
rine can be produced probably at
from I'D to Sd per pound, and thus,
when any considerable proportion of
butter is mixed with that. or even
with a cheaper form of fat, it is obvi-
ous that the foreign producer pockets
more from his COWS than appears on
the surface. Stringent measures
should be adopted in dealing with
this startling state of matters.
We are glad TO know that American
butter has thus far made so good a
showing. The British board of agri-
culture has hitherto contented itself
with warning the parties in whose
hands adulterated butter was found,
but hereafter the contiscation of the
authorizations is advised.

How About This Stable.

A reader who thinks that the cows
of the country are getting too good
stabling and are going to go to the
dogs if they do not get more fresh
air and exercise, thinks that the stable
of the future will be a large, covered
barn yard made high, light and warm;
and the cows will be dehorned and
turned loose in this enclosure. In this
place will be a water tank and hay and
straw racks, and the cows will eat and
drink and sleep when they choose and
parade the arena for promotion of mus
Gle and vigor. 1t is not stated whether
these cows will be provided bars, hur-
dies and vaulting rings or not, to take
athletic exercise. It's no telling what
the COW of the future will do, or what
she will demand of her owner. One
thing is certain, in all kindness to the
animals, and that is that the old plank
floor and rigid stanchion will have to
go, and why they have been retained
as long as they have passes all com
prehension. What do readers say
to the big covered barn yard above de-
picted?-Practical Farmer.

Potatoes for Cows,

The feeding of potatoes has been
more often brought up for discussion
at the farmers institutes this winter
thar perhaps any other question.
A great many dairymen have been
feeding quite heavily on raw potatoes,
as they were very cheap. The results
have not been very satisfactory unless
the amount fed per day 10 each cow
was limited TO onc-half buShel. In One
or two instances when potatoes were
fed with Oat straw and prairie hay
without grain, the COWS went almost
completely dry. This is a result that
would surely expect. The potato has
a very minute quantity of ~digestible
protein, or flesh forming ana milk pro-
ducing food. neither has the straw and
prairie hay very much of this essential
element of protein. The potato ia
largely starchy. and is useful as a heat
producing and fat forming food, being
also very valuable when fed to dairy
COWS each day in n limited quantity.
owing to its succulency, which is Il
very essential factor in our dairy cows
feeding during the winter time. They

stock Notes,

The right kind of feed and good care
is better for stock than medicine.
In feeding cattle and hogs It is best
to assert and grade them, as the strong
will set more than their share of the
feed.

richest sort. being made from grain,
and too often it is allowed to go to
waste. Save every shoyclful carefully.

Those who have incubators and
brooding houses should have both un-
der full swing now. The most import
ant thing to the thrift and growth Of
the chicks in the breeding house, and
the hardest to secure, is exercise. The
food is an important matter TO look
after carefully, but. on the same food.
n lot which is induced to take liberal
exercise and plenty of fresh air will
do well and make satisfactory growth.
while another lot which does not take
the exercise will suffer from indige''-

Streakiness in butter is becoming
almost uncommon, but one frequently
meets with buffers which have been
oTer worked in the endeavor to press
out water and properly incorporate
the salt. 1t is not possible to add
water to butter unless the water be
at a temperature considerably above
seventy degrees Fahrenheit, but by
careless working the butter may be
made so soft that the worker cannot
press the water out of it. A little
care and foresight should obviate this.
When butter is taken from the churn
In granular condition it should be
spread evenly on the butter worker
and carefully sailed, then set the
worker in motion, give two or three
turns, and remove the butter and al
low it to stand and drain for two
hours at least, after which it can be
reworked. BY this method Of sailing
butter in the grain it will require
less working and will be firmer and
in better condition when finished
than would be the case if the salt
were ground in Immediately after
taking the butter from the churn.

over 500 ounds of Butter Per Cow.
My cows averaged 275 pounds OF
butter each IN the year 1891, the next
year $50 pounds. in '93 made 397
pounds. and last year averaged SGT
pounds Of butter per head of nine
cows. My dairy was begun in 1884,

raised the heifers until 81. That

back to the cows, with Il small grain
ration, and sowcd corn in it's season.
This worked SO well that the next
year ! fed all the milk back to the
cows except In June, when no grain or
milk vas fed, and the grain ration
was increased over the previous year
and the fodder was from corr planted
In hills instead of sowed. In 1898 the
feed was the same. through June and
all, but the grain was increased. The
first three years some of the stock
were heifers; tho fourth year sold the
young cows, and bought the best cows

nine COWS. The grain ration was
again increased. In the fore part Of
the season, when the feed in the past

noon, kept until milking time, fed,
and then allowed to feed about an
hour, and then put in the yard until
