HELPFUL DAIRY NOTES.

Burning sulphur in the curing-room,
it is said, will kill mold flies and skip
pers on cheese.
The Mississippi experiment station
has demonstrated that serious loss re-
suits from not sailing cows.
A COW that will make 800 pounds Of
butter, remember, is worth good deal
more than one that will make only 200
pounds.
The government inspectors at the
Chicago stock yards condemn the meat
of all cows that have calves inside with
the hair on.
Cows at the Chicago stock yards with
in month of parturition and for ten
days after are condemned by the gov
ernment inspectors.
If the cow is not born to make first
class dairy cow feed or care will never
make her one. Breed and individual
merit are the things to start with.
If you have herd of good cows don't
have man around them who does not
know his business or is unwilling to
properly attend to it. Get rid of tho
herd or incompetent man.-Western

ways Leads to Success.

the GxetC1oS OF Wl00 1G0000ny Az
ways Leads to Success.
One saving dairyman, not a stingy
one, will make more money than two
extravagant ones.
First, a dairyman should be saving Of
his cows, as COW we'll cared for will be
useful and profitable animal for sew
eral years longer than one ill fed, i'll
housed and ill treated. @
Even in summer cows should not be
left exposed to violent transforms, but
should be sheltered where there is less
danger of their being struck by light
ming, as when huddled together under
trees. or being chilled by prolonged
drenching. The latter, especially, Is
damaging to the milk yield, for 1 have
noticed that cows always shrink in
milk after exposure to a storm. Wise
economy calls for measures that will
obyiate this, namely, dry, warm shell
ter.
Be saving also of your feed. For in.
stance. in giving milch stock corn fod-
der, when they trample it under their
hoofs and waste as much as they eat, it
is the dairyman who is wasteful, not
the animals I find that the most
economical way Of feeding corn fodder
is to spread it before the cattle when in
stanchions. and only give them what
they will eat up clean.
To be saving of the feed in the pas.
lures don't put more stock into the
field than it will support. On a farm not
long ago I heard them talking about
the cow pasture, horse pasture, sheep
pasture and calf lot. / knew the owner
was on the right track, as it implied
that he kept his stock separated. Milch
cows never do as well when compelled
to pasture in common with other cat
tie.
Then. again, do not waste the milk.
Even drop of milk, which may repre-
sent the growth of one grass root, can.
not afford to be wasted. In the first
place secure all of the milk from the
cows udder by patient stripping. The
richest comes last, and you cannot af-
ford to lose even drop.
1t is not a stingy course to see that tho
milk pals, pans, cans, ETC., are we'll
cleaned; and that your hired hands are
SO kind to the cows that the animals do
not frequently kick over the milk pals
and spill the fluid. Perhaps the most
Efficient way to save milk is to preserve
its quality so well that none is wasted
by souring or tainting.
Be saving of the butter you make.
In figuring on good yield of butter
from the cream, do not make the mis-
take of mixing some of the casein Of
milk in with the butter fat. This il
done by skimming loppered milk, under
the supposition that it is economy,
when it really is the grossest extrava-
gance. for you can never make first
class butter that way.
Remember that milk, cream and but
ter saved is money earned, SO exercise
wise economy in all branches of dairy
ing.-George E. Newell. in American
Cultivator.

Bulletin 46 of Hatch (Mass.) station
says the toad lives ten to forty years,
does not begin to produce young till the
fourth year, but then lays over 1000
eggs year. It has lived two years
without food, but cannot live long un-
der water. 1t never takes dead or mo-
tionless food. It takes its food by
means of its tongue alone, and it oper-
ates this so rapidly that the eye cannot
follow it's motions. It captures and de-
YOURS bees, wasps, yellow jackets, ants.
beetles, worms, spiders, snails, bugs,
grasshoppers, crickets, weevils, cater
pillars, moths, etc.
The station examined with micro
scope the contents of the stomachs of
seven toads in April, 80 in May, &C in
June, 26 in July, ten in August and
seven in September-149 in all. On an
average it was found that so per cent.
of the toad's food consists of harmful
insects, and II per cent. was of such
beneficial insects as bees, spiders, lady
bugs, etc.
The stomach that doesn't finch at
yellow jackets, wasps, blister beetles
and click beetles or pinch-bugs would
seem to be prepared for anything in the
insect line, and it doubtless is.
The quantity of food that toad's
stomach can accommodate is remark
able. In one were found ~ myriapods.
in another IS army worms. in another
IS gypsy moth caterpillars. in another
nine ants, six cut worms, five myria-
pods, six sow bugs. one weevil and one
wire worm beetle.
In "a hours the toad consumes enough
food to fill its stomach four times.
Feeding at the rate above mentioned
single toad will in three months de-
YOUR over 10000 insects. If every ten
of these would have done one cent dam
age the toad has saved ten dollars.
Evidently the toad is a valuable
friend to the farmer. gardener and
fruit grower, and can be made espe-
cially useful in greenhouse, garden and
berry patch.

Summer spraying is said to be an

order to kill it very strong and pen

Interesting Law Suit.

The case of Keren Ryan, of Shields,

which was commenced last week in
county court by Duffy & McCrory, at
torneys of Fond du Lac, is pretty
important case and according to the
complaint involves real estate valued
at about $4,000. Plaintiff sets up
in his complaint that he is an old
man, 80 years of age, and that his
wife died in 1898. At that time his
family consisted of himself his wife
and the two defendants. That on
December Is, 1895, he was the owner
of 100 acres of land reasonably worth
$16, 000 The defendants, who are
his daughters, resided with him up
to June 16, 1897, and he alleges that
he always had great love and affec-
ton for them and had utmost con-
fidence in them and intrusted them
with the care and custody of his
money, mortgages and other valuable
papers. That the defendant, Lima
Murray, persuaded him to deed her
his property, telling him that she
would never marry on account Of her
health and would remain with him
and care for him. Believing in her
promises he did so deed away his
for,,o Of $50 acrpS Now the old oon-
tleman claims that his daughter was
engaged to be married when she
promised him and was subsequently,
married and moved away, leaving
him without care. He requests judg-
ment setting aside the deed and Civ
ing him possession of and title to the
property. The defendant, Margaret
Cross, is in feeble health and he says
that if he is returned his property he
will provide well for her care and fu-
ture maintenance
