by feet, in which there were 81 grade
Jersey cows, weighing over 700 pounds
each. This means only 26S cubic feet of
air space for each COW, and is equiva-
lent to putting a man of average size
into box measuring feet by "a inches
width and 50 inches height, with no
ventilation. In 80 per cent of the sta
bleS, also, the COWS are kept in the old
fashioned rigid stanchions. God pity
the heart of him who confines his COWS
in this way for "a hours of the day, and
makes them sleep, or try to sleep, in the
stanchions alsol
Many farmers feed all dry food
through the winter, with no succulence
whatever. Dat straw and corn meal are
all fat; they contain no bone or muscle,
and yet farmers think they are feeding
we'll when they give their COWS this ra-
ton. Many cattle get drink only once
in "a hours during the winter, when
they are turned out into the stable
yard, and the water is cold enough to
chill them all through. From such con-
ditions as / have described, COWS often
become distorted and deformed, with
shoulders out of shape and punches on
the knees, the result of rigid stanchions.
These are not fancy sketches; 1 have
seen them many time.
The farmer should study his COWS,
raise the height of stables, learn more
of cow-ology. The COW is so per cent
artificial.

Old or Young Beeres.

The great markets of the country are
showing that the time in which very
heavy cattle can be profitably marketed
has gone by. During recent weeks year
ling cattle have sold more readily and
at higher prices than fine, fat steers
weighing 1000 pounds or more. These
yearlings would weigh 1000 pounds or
more and were of fine quality. The
extra time and food required to mature
the large cattle were poorly paid for.
A like mistake is made by many farm
ers.
The Oklahoma Agricultural Expert
ment Station recently purchased TWEEN
ty-four young cattle for use in feeding
experiments. The cattle were such as
could be obtained in the vicinity. There
are better cattle and many worse ones
in the territory. Eight calves averaged
415 pounds, eight two year old steers
averaged $50 and eight yearlings aver
aged 555 younds. That is the yearling
steers had been kept for year for an
average gain of 40 pounds, the two
year olds another year for gain of 20
pounds. Two of The calves weighed
more each than did one of the yearlings,
and one yearling weighed within 30
pounds of as much as one of the two
year olds. AS the exact ages were un-
known, it is possible there was less than
a years difference in the age in each
case. 1t is also true that the calves
were better bred than either of the old
er lots. But in any case there was very
little pay for the food consumed by the
older cattle.

We Lose BY Fraud.

In 1880 the United States exported
cheese to the value of $12,170,OOO. In
1894 the United States exported cheese
to the value of $3.50, 000-a decrease in
exports in fourteen years of 40 per cent.
In 1880 Canada exported cheese to the
value of S3,900,000. In 1894 Canada
exported cheese to the value of $15, $780,
! 000-an increase in fourteen years OF
nearly 400 per cent.
In Canada the manufacture of filled
and skinned cheese is prohibited by
law, backed up by strong public sentl-
ment. From the humblest cheesemaker
to the highest government officials the
| energies of the people have been bent
toward honest, wholesome cheese and
worldwide markets.
In this country, in marked contrast
with Canada, many people have been
working to produce cheaper cheese and
| not better cheese. Within our own
state trade has been greatly injured in
past years by SKINNED cheese and more
recently by filed cheese. This has now
been stopped by law. Illinois manu-
features enormous quantities of filed
cheese each winter, branding much OF
it as Wisconsin goods, thus stealing
what should be a good name and break
ing down our markets with fraud
product.
New York and Wisconsin are the
great cheese-exporting states. Wiscon-
sin is by nature the greatest cheese
state in the Union, made so by the nat
ural adaptation of the soil to nutritious
grasses, the pure waters and the cool
| nights in summer time.
Our commonwealth has lost millions
of dollars because Of the laxness of our
own people in the matter Of high quail
| ity and honest goods, and now that re-
| formation has come all our good acts
will count for little, so long as other
states make fraud cheese and brand
| them Wisconsin made.
We need United States law which
shall place filled cheese in the same
category with ofeomargarine, licensing
the manufacturers producing it, plac-
ing small tax on each pound manu-
featured, and holding up its identity
until it reaches the consumer.-W. A.
Henry, University of Wisconsin.

Caerphilly Cheese.

Caerphilly cheese is made by a sweet
curd process. The milk is set at about
so deg. Fair, and such milk should be
perfectly sweet. Add sufficient rennet
to coagulate the milk firmly in one hour.
Break down carefully as in Cheddar
cheesemaking, making the curd about
the size of large peas. Stir for half or
three-quarters of an hour. Let settle
about half an hour. The whey is then
drawn and the curd ladled out into a
clean cloth, and tied up, with little
weight-say II pounds-placed upon 1t.
Ii a large quantity of curd, no weight is
required. Cut up and turn each half
hour. At the end of about three hours
from the time the rennet is added, the
curd is broken up finely into the hoops,

In fact, a large per cent-of the town
people who keep fine fowls have subur-

measured by feet and not by acres. We
believe fully so per cent of all the poul-
try fanciers keep their fowls on or
binary town lots-usually on the back
end of the lot in pens of small size.
We have done so, and been successful,
too.
We have fowls in town ON an ordi-
nary lot in pens from Is to 20 feet

better than the country chickens in

Because in the country we depend on
the grass in the runs for green food;
at this season it gets old and tough,
the fowls can't eat it and hence they
| have no green food.
In town we grow little patches OF
oats, rye and mustard, pull it while

The Brood Cock.

The selection of brood cock is one
of the most important points in MAX
ing up the breeding pen. The cock
should be as near as possible to per-
lection in size, in color, in markings
wattles, comb, ear lobes, etc. OF course
due regard should be given to the Sc
lection of hens also; but the male bird
being specially prepotent, he influences
to certain degree every chick Matched
from the pen. In outward appearance
he should be nearly perfection. He
should be strong, vigorous and healthy
beyond doubt. His disposition should
be active, courageous and gallant. He
should be bred from stock of we'll tried
merit, so that no danger of poor, indif-
ferent stock may crop out Careful Sc
lection of brood cocks from various
yards of high class chicks. We occa-
sionally see a fine looking cock bred
from poor stock-it Is not often. but
then there are such cases; still it would
be dangerous to select such bird to
head the breeding pen, as his progeny
will almost surely take after the stock
from which he was bred. Every hen
should also be carefully selected. if one
wishes to keep ones reputation as n
breeder of choice fowls A poor hen in
pen may throw few defective chicks
but poor cock Get the hens be ever
so good will likely be the cause of a
