DaiFyfng i'm Mexico.

The Kansas City Journal says that
mllch COWS in Mexico ten years ago
were not bred, and no milk. butter or
cheese was produced. Fifteen years
ago there was not a drop of cows
milk or a pound of butter in Monterey,
Mexico. The natives depended entire
ly on goats milk. The opinion abroad
in that region was that mich cow;
would not thrive in Mexico, and the
natives made no attempt TO try breed
ing. Condensed milk was first import
ed from the United States in 1882, and
many have lived to see dairies estab-
lished. Nh. Edmond Levan from Texas
advised a Frenchman named La
Grange TO procure a few Jersey cows
from the states and make a start. He
did so and in five years he had a herd
of fifty cows, as well as horses and
pigs, with fruit and vegetables, and
made money. This was the first dairy
in Mexico, and to-day NJ. La Grange
has made about 100000 out of his
business since 1887. He has q ready
sale for his products and next to uu
competition.

that Mrs. Mary A. Marshall, a we'll

had found a remedy which not only
gave almost immediate relief, but which
effected a complete cure, and believing
that the dissemination of a few facts
regarding it would perhaps be OF inter-
est and benefit TO many OF our readers,

The age of a COW has much to do

sweet cream, just skinned from the
milk. does not churn as rapidly as older
cream that has been properly ripened.
The cows udder should always be
washed or sponged off before milking,
so that no impurities can enter the
milk.
Frequent stirring of the cream will
obviate the difficulty so often expert
enced in having the butter full of
white specks.
Much better butter can he made
when the temperature of the milk
and milk house can be regulated and
kept cool
Soft feed. such as bran, slops and
oats ground and mixed with water,
will help considerably to increase the
flow of milk.
The dairy COW, If she is a good n
and her heaviest flow of milk comes
at the right season, is a valuable ami
ma on the farm.
Irregular feeding retards the natural
action of the digestive and assimi!ative
organs, and i~rregularity in milking
causes considerable suffering with the
animals
The milk from n fresh COW should
not be mingled with that or the others
too soon. The milk from a fresh COW
should not be used until II is perfectly
free from ropiness.

White Specks i'm Butter.

The usual cause Of white speckS in
butter is keeping the cream TOO long
before churning, so that the milk,
which is skinned off with the cream.
wheys and in churning is separated
into white specks. In summer. unless
one is careful about keeping the cream
cold. the milk in it will change in two
or three days. The specks seem TO
come more frequently, however, in cold
than in warm weather. In this case
it NAV be from some particles of the
cream drying up hard. Then, too, the
milk WELD is much less in winter. with
most farmers, than in summer. and
the cream Is kept two or three times
as long before churning, which gives
IL a chance to dry around the sides
and edges of the cream pail. The
thing 10 do is to churn often, before
the white specks have time TO form.
But ever then it is MOI always possible
TO prevent their forming. With a bar
rel or box churn the churn should be
stopped just as the butter has gather
ed i'm grains the size of wheat kernels.
Ry drawing off the buttermilk and
washing several times NEST of the
specks may be washed out. They
come out just before the butter grains.
There is no danger of washing out the
butter flavor. You may wash out the
flavor of the buttermilk, but you can
not take out the real flavor of the but
ter. If YOU think SO. just feed the
COWS n few onions and then try 10

says an English paper, that are not re-
m%unerative butter-making COWS, and
that every dairy farmer should ascer.
tain whether the individual animals in
his herd are adapted for the purposes
TO which his milk is applied. Very
few do this, and great losses are occa-
stoned i'm consequence. The fact has
shown, over and over 'Siin, that
