In your issue of April Is Charley
Ramsey Of Hardin County, Ohio. asks
if any of the readers of the Review can
tell him anything about the BlackLang-
shans. MIR. Ramsey in the latter part
Of his request for information states
that he would like to know what the
writer's on poultry subjects think of
them. As We do not pretend to be a
writer on poultry subjects perhaps any
thing We might say would have no in
fuence with the gentleman. However,
as We have been breeder of this splen-
did fowl for a number of years We will
give our opinion and let it go for what
1t is worth. The Langshan is q dis
tinct breed (no make up), coming origi-
nally from Chinese Tartary. The plur-
age should be black, not a dull black,
but glistening black, with reflections of
green. The legs and bottom Of the feet
should show pink color-no yellow.
The legs should be feathered, but not
so heavily as the cochins. Weight
should be, cocks, 8 to az lbs; hens, z
to So. In disposition they are very
gentle, easily confined, and SO far as
my experience has gone, the best Of all
winter layers. There are two distinct
types. The low, heavily-bodied and the
tall. majestic appearing. which one can
not see without saying. Blood will
tell" As sitters and mothers the hens
are first-class. As table fowl don't
think they are excelled by any other
breed. In saying this I know the con-
sensus Of opinion Is against me. Still
We deny that the color of the skin has
anything to do with the eating qualities

b very light. Matters don't look as they
used to when we were sending car
loads Of cheese to England every DAY,
and 1t seemed as If they couldn't get
enough Of it. We have killed the goose
that laid the golden egg. Filled cheese
to kill of the foreign demand and Skid
cheese to kill of home consumption
and here we are with our cows, cheese
factories. and farms on our hands ana
no market. It is to be hoped that the
cheese-makers, factory proprietors ana
particularly the patrons will build up
some solid public opinion on this ques-
ton Of making poor cheese. Stop II AZ
once. Nothing has driven cheese lac
tories out Of the business more than the
making of skim cheese. Honest full
cream cheese factories could not hold
their own in profit with skim cheese
factories, SO they turned into cream
cries. We have killed our foreign trace
and are acting like stupid dolts about
our only and last resort. the nome
trade. There is not a factory In the
land but what ought to refuse to let
young. tasteless, indigestible cheese go
out of its doors. Every factory should
face this question of curing cheese In
a decent. eatable shape. Don't let the
factories sell the immature cheese to
still more and more discourage the con-
sumption of cheese. No cheese has any
business to 60 onto the grocery counter
less than 60 to 80 days old. By that
time it tastes somewhat cheesy, and II
it is a good article it provokes the de-
sire for more. The only forces that can
stop this make of bad cheese and sale
of immature cheese are the factories
themselves. Let each factory do the
sensible thing for itself and all will
soon have good, old-fashioned cheese,
and the people will eat double the guam
tity of it.-Hoard's Dairyman.

The Coming Butter-Maker. - The
coming butter-maker is going to have
charge of large field. He will not
only be a butter-maker. but he will be
a practical manufacturer. He will b
a teacher; his instructions will 20 out
on the farm, and he will be an instruct
or in the best methods of raising crops.
He will post himself on culture of the
fields and crops; the proper curing of
fodder and forage. He will become an
expert judge of the dairy products; be
will study the best methods of breed
ing, rearing and managing dairy stock,
and let me tell you that in that line there
is greater field for the progressive
creamery man than there ever has been
or ever will be- simply within the
creamery. When you can by proper
selection and feeding of dairy cows
teach the farmer that he can produce
one pound of butter on cents worth
of feed; whereas, under ordinary meth
DDS it costs cents, you see what a
wonderful opportunity for men and
what is the actual condition of farmers.

white Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks
1 have bred the Plymouth Rocks,
White Leghorns, Black Spanish,
Brahma and Wyandottes, but like the
White Leghorns and Plymouth Rocks
best. For winter quarters I have a
good house, well-boarded, with tarred
paper over that and over that siding
and then three coats of paint. In the
summer they pick up nearly their own
living, as they have the range of the
whole farm. In the winter they get
corn, oats, wheat and cooked veg
etables. We sell our eggs to parties
having a cold storage house in Ovation
ma. In this cold climate we do not get
many eggs in winter. For the farm I
like Plymouth Rocks best as they look
after themselves mostly. As for lay
ing, White Leghorns have done the
best for me. w. G. Buffum.
Dairy F0rm.-There seems to be an
inclination to scoff at what is called
dairy form. But all experience goes
to show that dairy form is a sure in
dex of the character of a milk COW.
There are two points that stand out
prominently and that should not be
lost sight of in selecting a dairy COW.
The first Of these is a big paunch; the
second is a concave thigh. The latter
denotes lack of ability to lay on flesh.
The former tells us that the COW is a
great consumer Then the rest is plain:
is she eats a great deal and does not
tlrn it into flesh and fat, she must
aeeds turn it into milk. We doubt il
this rule ever fails.
Pekin Ducks.-There are the Pekins.

plumage that is thick and heavy, but

First Calf.-A heifer with her first
calf should not be overfed before the
calf comes, but for two weeks previous
ly should have nothing but good hay.
For at least week after the calf is
born this feed should be continued.
After that the feed may be increased
gradually, and some meal given, be-
ginning at first with quart twice a
day, and after that increasing by safe
degrees until all that can be fed is
given. But it will never be safe to feed
a young COW as an old one may be. The
result of over-feeding is trouble with

of any kind is fed.-American Dairy
