Cutting Z Coarse Fodder.

The Maine station compared the value
of chopped and unchopped hay for cows
and found no evidence that tho chopping
had any effect. Cutting corn stover was
found advantageous at the Wisconsin
station. The Indiana station found that
steers made better gains cn cut than on
uncut clover hay. In reference to cut
ting coarse fodder Professor Henry says: !:
| There should be n good feed cutter ON
every daiiy farm, useful for silo filling
in the fall and for chatting feed in the
winter. All cornstalks should be put
through this machine. for then they are
in better condition for feeding, and the
coarser portions left uneaten are in good
form for bedding and the manure heap.
Long cornstalks are q nuisance i'll the
feeding manger, worthless for bedding
and troublesome in the manure pile.
Many farmers find difficulty in feeding
cut cornstalks, since sometimes the COWS
refuse to eat them. In q few cases we
have found that the sharp ends of the
cornstalks when cut certain lengths in
juro the mouths of the cows. When they
are not well eaten. the cause is often
due to overfeeding or endeavoring to
have the cows live on too limited va
riety of foods Keep the managers clean
and feed the cut fodder with care, and
usually very little will be left over, and
that only the coarsest portion. Expert
ments at the Wisconsin station show
that with tho varieties of corn fodder
raised there much more of the out stalks
will be eaten than if fed uncut under
the same conditions.
subduing a Drained Swamp.
A farmer who has cleared and tile
drained four acres Of swampy land
which has for many years been covered
with bogs tells in The American Agri-
culturist that the sod was SO tough that
1t had to be broken up with O double
team of oxen. The easiest and most eff
fective method Of subduing the land
next spring is to SOW corn broadcast for
fodder, and the following year put in
corn or potatoes in hills and cultivate
thoroughly. After that the land may be
seeded down or used for any crop de-
sired.

WORK OF TRAIN ROBBERS.
A Louisville & Nashville Train Is
Wrecked,

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. 10. - The
2:3O train from Louisville this morn
ing on the l.. & y. bound for New Or
leans was wrecked four miles from
this place in a very wild country by
train robbers. The engineer saw an
obstruction Oh the track, but too late
to stop the train, which went crash
ing down a steep embankment. A
rail had been torn UP and nailed down
again three or four inches out of line.
The train, comprising two mail ears,
baggage car and two 1irSt-class
coaches. was completely wrecked. The
track was torn up for fully o yards.
Three persons were seriously injured.
John Thwatt Of Atlanta, hound for
Dallas. Tex, and =. w. McGOvCy of
Monroe were the most seriously hurt.
TWO other passengers were pinned TN
der the smoking car and only after an
hours hard work wore they eXtriCatcd.
Their names cOUld not be aScCrtainod,
but they both came from Louisville.
B~lOOdhOundS have been set on the trail
of the w~rcckerS by railroad detectives,
but as yet no clue has been obtained
To the guilty parties. Suspicion. how
ever, rests on a COlOTed track walker
who a captured near the place. He
claims to have been posted there to
watch for train wreckers by the com
pany. He has been held. The damage
is fully $4,000.

Butter From Fresh Cows and strip
pers.

bulletin No. 33 from the Iowa Ex-
pertinent station reports an experiment
on the effect whach the period of lacta-
ton has upon butter flavor. 1t is sften
said, the bulletin states, that it is ne
cesSary to have a part Of the milk from
fresh COWS in order to produce butter
Of good flavor. In the test, the cows OF

ed rs "'strippers.'' while those that had
come in fresh within that time were in
the fresh class. The average num-
Der Of days since calving in the first
class was 30 day and in the latter 107

of the cows. as we'll as of the milk,
was similar, and the butter made sep

milk. when scored by w. 5. Moore,
official scorer for the Elgin board Of
trade. scored alike. ut % points for
each lot. The conclusion from the eX-
pertinent Is that the period of lactation
has no effect upon the flavor of the
butter made by the separator system.
Under the gravity system there may
be some difference, as many dairymen
claim, and the possible explanation is
offered that as the fat globules become
smaller as lactatiOn advances, more
time is required for the cream to rise
by the gravity method in the case Of
shippers than with fresh cows, where
the fat globules are larger. 1t has
been found that when cream or milk
has been kept at a low temperature
for some time n somewhat bitter fla
vor is often developed. and the organ
ism which produces this bitter flavor
may be the reason why the butter
made from the milk of shippers is gen.
orally considered inferior to that made
from the milk of fresh cOws. The time
necessary for Dreaming by the gravity
process is an essential element in the
development Of the bitter flavor, and
when the separator is used the milk
does not have the time to become bit

wntcr IL n Factor in Butter-Mak-
Ing.

Most of the best dairy regions Of the
country are where there are natural
springs of pure water. These sections
are usually good for grass, but we have
always thought that the superior water
helped the dairyman to make a better
quality of butter. and so command the
highest price in the market. Wherever
the water is not good, and is yet con-
sidcrcd desirable to engage in dairy
ing. the difficulty may be remedied by
sinking driven wells with casing, deep
enough to find supplies of water as
clear and pure as from any spring.
This water will be of the same temper
allure winter and summer, and should
be warmed before being offered to
mich cows, as nothing checks milk
supply more quickly than giving cows
water so cold that they will not drink
what they require.
