FRESH COWS NEEDED.
stearine Fats Are Bound to Predominata
in Shippers Milk.

Stearlne Fats Are Bound to Predominate
in strippers' MILK.
The professional instructors in but
termaking have had a time of it in ex-
planning why a certain creamery is
troubled with the body of it's butter,
the commission firm saying that the
body is short and brittle and crumbles
badly in retailing. One says there is
too much water in it, one says it was
worked too cold, one questions if the
feed did not do the bad job, etc. 1t is
not easy for the creamery men to get to
the bottom facts in all cases, as they
do not know how the cows are handled.
"A private dairyman finds that feed does
effect the hardness of the butter fats,
that a warm water bath after washing
the butter will soften it so it will not
be so brittle, but the main reason for.
hard fats and brittle body is the lack
OF fresh cows. When the strippers are
dried and fresh COWS take their place
this trouble disappears. Stearine fats
predominate in strippers' milk as
truly as they do when cottonseed is fed,
and more warmth is required to soften
the hard fats in either case, but the
butter cannot be made quite SO good
anyhow, as butter from fresh cowsS
milk.-Rural Life.

Catarrh Cannot Be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot
reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a
blood or constitutional disease, and in order
to cure it you must take internal remedies.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and
acts directly on the blood and mucous sur
faces. Halls Catarrh Cure is not quack
medicine. 1t was prescribed by one of the
best physicians in this country for years,
posed of the best tonics known, combined
with the best blood purifiers, acting directly
on the mucous surfaces. The perfect com
bination of the two ingredients is what pro-
duces such wonderful results in curing

Attributes of a Good Farmer.

The Southern Farm Gazette asserts
that no man is good farmer who does
not at least maintain year in and year
out the average productiveness and
fertility of his farming lands. 1t is
not hard thing to do this either for
my intelligent farmer. Little better
can be expected of an ignorant negro
tenant than to make it his invariable
rule to squeeze out of the soil all that
the soil will bear, paying back nothing
In the way of plant food for future
PROPS, practicing the plan of soil rob-
surely expect better things of intelli-
gent white farmers and land owners.

EConomIo Features of orohardlng.

When considered in connection with
farming, trees give the advantage of the
use of overhead space that cannot be
otherwise utilized at all. Small areas in
great cities that are sold for fortunes
nre used to erect structures to utmost
limits of corporate laws, Cut orchard
trees to the ground and it will be found
that they occupy as much space on the
ground as in the mir. The overhead
space is brought into economic use. Tho
trees can make use of space and forces
III it which otherwise will avail planter
nothing. The ground while best if kept
in high state of cultivation, can be

PIG-FEEDING TESTS.
Results of Experiments at tho Danish Ex-
pertinent Station.

Results of Experiments at tho Danish E1-
pertinent Station.
The following are the results of 36
series of trials during five years. with
so3 pigs in all, separated into 175 lots,
conducted at the Danish agricultural
experiment station. Whey for pigs
has greater feeding value, pound for
pound, than turnips. Corn and skim
milk is great stuff to make pigs grow
fast and fat, but the pork is rather soft,
hence substitute barley for the corn
when the pigs weigh 1875 pounds, and
the quality of the flesh, if killed at
1S5 pounds weight, will be improved,
and the shrinkage is no larger. Barley
alone gave better results than when
sunflower seed oil cake was substituted
for part of it. One pound of barley
equaled in pork-producing power six
pounds of skim milk or 12 pounds of
whey. Young pigs weighing 33 to rs
pounds required 3A pounds of grain.
Oh its equivalent in milk or whey to
make one pound increase; at $50 to 200
pounds, about five pounds was needed,
and old hogs weighing over 200 pounds
consumed to 61a pounds of grain
for each pound of increase in weight.
The animals ate but slightly more in
winter than in summer, but it required
nearly half pound more grain feed
for one pound of grain in winter than
i'll summer. There was no marked diff
ference between the food required per
pound of grain in light and heavy feed
ing. Nor was there any difference
between the rate or cost of grain in
barrows or sows
