mental stage and as proved to be a sue
cess. OF course many difficulties have
been encountered and the most of them
overcome, but it has been found that,
for some undiscovered reason, a very
few creameries have derived no benefit
from the use of the organism. But it
has been demonstrated that in most
creameries the use OF Bacillus No. al,
according to the directions, will i'm
prove the flavor of the butter, and also
in many cases remove bad havors, and
in their place give fine flavor. This
is wonderful claim, but ii has been
we'll proved, and when the use of
Bacillus No. Al adds two or three cents
a pound to the price of the butter its
value may be considered as fully dem
onstrated. But there is still another
advantage found in the use of this or
ganism. Butter has kept its good
flavor much longer where Bacillus No.
Al has been used. OF course other spe-
cies may be found which will be even
better than this, but at present Bacil-
lus No. Al gives promise of being great
boon to butter-makers.

Care of Cows in Summer.

The prospect is good for short pas
lures early in the season. Intact, pas
lures are seldom so short ; they are at
the present time. Some kind of SUB.
Elementary fodder crops will be a ne.
cessity. The WATCHMAN has printed
articles describing the best crops of
tnis AIno' anu l'...c more need be said.
The summer silo is probably the best
means of meeting the needs of the
cows. Winter dairying, having the
COWS dry up in July or August, saves
much trouble in this direction, espe-
cially if the cows can be turned off into
a good back pasture for six weeks or
80 after they are dried off. Feeding
ground feeds is practiced by some with
good results, but some cows do not eat
any kind of meal clean after warm
weather begins. Wheat bran is one of
the best feeds for summer. Some cows
drool their spittle 80 that in the morn
ing the bottom of the manger is quite
wet. Throw cotton or linseed meal, or
mixed feed, into this and it sticks
down. Even gluten will do this. When
COWS leave little of this damp meal
every day it moulds, heats, and soon
rots, giving off very offensive odor.
A drove of rats or flock of hens will
keep the managers clean, but neither of
these are very desirable in stable, es-
pecially the former. But some cows
will keep manger very clean, and
where this is the case, wheat bran OF
gluten may be fed to very good advan'
tage. Cotton seed meal is not hot
weather food.

For great many years doctors pro-
uounced it a local disease, and pre-

stantly failing to cure with local treat

Bacillus No, Al.

For several years Professor H. W.
Conn of Wesleyan University has been
experimenting for the Storrs Expert
ment Station with milk and cream to
learn the causes of souring, ripening,
favor, etc. The results of these inves-
legations have been published in the
bulletins and reports of the station and
otherwise. One object in view was 10
find the cause of flavor in butter and
whether it could be controlled. 1t is
easy to see what an advantage it would
be to creamery if a June flavor could
be given to butter every week in the
year. And this is just what Professor
Conn has accomplished. The name at
the head of this article has been given
to an organism originally obtained from
specimen of milk from Uruguay
South America. Many species were
tested, and this was found to give the
most satisfactory results. 1t was stud
led for year in the laboratory of Pro-
fessor Conn at Wesleyan University,
and practical tests of its value were
made in neighboring creamery. AT
ter it's value had been thus tested, it
became necessary to make wider test,
and about the beginning of 1895 it was
sent out to different creamerles, and
this was continued until, at the time of
Professor Conn's last report, over 200
creameries had used the Bacillus No.
Al with success, and its use may be
considered as fairly out of the expert

AGRICULTURAL.

IT beats all, says an exchange, how
many men excuse themselves for poor
feeding of their cows on the ground of
being afraid of breaking the COW down.
1t is a very common thing to see an un-
derfed COW and very rare to find one
that is overfed.
Now is good time, says Hoard's
Dairgn1an, TO think about making ar
rangements for the better care of the
young, tender calves than they received
last year. To let them run out in the
hot sun, and be nearly bitten to death
by the flies, does not speak very well
for good brains or good humanity, does
it2 Suppose we try shutting them up
in the daytime this year, in dark
stable, using plenty of dry straw and
land plaster 10 keep the stable clean.
Every one who has tried it says it is a
grand plan.
To know how much the farmers are
really losing by the low prices of but
ter, it would be needful to know how
much pound of butter costs. But
this is most difficult question to
answer. A man might find out how
much it cost approximately to produce
pound of butter on given day or for
number of days, but the value of
pasture must be estimated, or rather
guessed at, and the keeping of the COW
when she is dry must be taken into &C.
count. Then the manure and skinned
milk must be reckoned. The great
trouble with farm accounts is the
necessity of SO much guesswork, which
really destroys their accuracy.
FOLLOWING is good description of
the common-purpose COW. We do not
know who gave it: Suppose a farmer
desired to raise some small grain and
some corn and some truck, such as
onions, cabbage, etc., and in providing
the necessary tools he concluded he
would not fill up his Toulouse with
variety of implements adapted to each
crop, but would just buy one eight-inch
plow. He knows it is too small for
field blowing and too large to cultivate
cabbage and onions, but it is about
half way between-a common-purpose
tool. You would hardly give that man
credit for real good judgment. Cows
are the dairymen's tools in certain
sense and should be specially adapted
to their work.

FARMERS who save their own garden
seeds should be sure that the varieties
are not mixed. If the seeds are from
plants which have their pollen dis
tributed by bees it will be difficult to
have varieties come true if more than
one of kind are grown. 1t is best to
produce new seed entirely at least one
year in three, or as soon as there are
indications of the plants not bearing
true to variety.

MOBILES LEADING PAPER
Comes Out for Capt. Joseph F. Johnston fo ? Governor-Mr Craighead Coming to a Birmingham,

Mobile, Feb. 6.-(Special) 1.-The Daily News, the leading paper of the city. came out today for Joseph F. Johnston for governor. Under the caption "rhe Peo- ple's Choice" the News says editorially: There is no denying the fact that the good people of our state desire harmony in the ranks of the democratic party and will work faithfully for it to the end of the present campaign. They have been driven or led by few politicians to work and vote for men and measures en- tirely against the best wishes and inter- ests of the democratic party, but, thank God, that day is past. and all thinking men will study well before they act so that the Anglo-Saxon race may be more united in this campaign than in any since the days of 1873. The grand old democratic party proposes to pay it's honest debts of loyalty, love, service and devotion to one of the hardest workers who has ever been foremost in the ser vice of the party during the darkest days of reconstruction up to the present time, and who has never been honored up to date with any office by the people, They have the opportunity now and they will embrace 1t, from the sunny shores of the gulf to the mountains of northern boun- daries of the state. The people demand Joseph F. Johnston to be their choice for governor of our state"
