great many farmers who wish to raise
calves refuse to send their milk to the
creamery because the product they get
back is not what they want for feeding

way to treat milk as it comes from
the separator. the cheapest way and
yet satisfactory one, is TO cool 1t to
as low temperature as possible as it

keep the temperature comfortable. In
building suitable hen house, one must
be governed greatly by the amount OF
none" to be invested and at the same
time have warm, light and con-
venient winter house for the birds. For
q cheap, warm, winter house, suitable
lor this climate, select location Stop
ing to the south. Make an excavation
say three feet by twelve feet by thirty
feet. with the thirty-foot side to the
south. Cover. as in any ordinary case,
making the height from five to six feet
in the clear. Have the doors in the
south. The entire south side above the
ground should be covered by glass. This
will admit the light and the sun all
day long. and water will never freeze
in the house. In your coolest winter
days your birds will be found working
in the litter as happily as in summer.
1t will give you winter eggs and your
show birds will not have frosted combs.
The only objection raised by the people
to this one-half under ground house is
dampness, which opinion is mistake
if your glass is of the proper slope. The
sun, shining on the bottom of your
house every day, will make the ground
as dry in a week as western Kansas

novelty is to be recorded. A Sheffield
milkseller sold an inspector some

milk and water. This was not denied
by the vendor, who not only told the
inspector what he was buying, but ac-
tually produced in court two customers
who informed the stipendiary that they
had for long time been buying the
mixture, well knowing it to be a COM

the proportion of one quart to every

that anybody can be anxious to pur-

prefer it to milk; but. verify, there Is
no accounting for taste.-The Dairy
