Home Market for Cheese.
Delavan. Iii.

II Is often said that Canadians are
Brunswick) Cooperative Farmer. They
are not as compared with the people
Of England and II seems to us for two
very bad reasons and one good one.
To take the last frst, the good reason
Is the cheapness Of meats and other
foods. and this Is not a reason that We
as cheesemakers should really mind.
There is a reason. though. that calls
for urgent attention. and that Is the
high retail price of cheese. The other
day wenWent TO store TO buy some
good cheese, cheese that was bought
from the factory at not more than 8
cents per pound, and what do you
imagine the retail price was? Why.
nothing less than IA cents per pound.
This heavy margin. which Is general
among grocers all over Canada, Is one
bad reason why cheese Is not popular
a. a food among our people. 1t Is q
gross injustice to the farmers Of Cana
da. q bad habit of trade that should
be broken as soon as possible. In the
interest not only OF the consumer and
farmer. but even the storekeepers
themselves. A strong structure on this
course is that adopted by the grocers
in England, who. although today they
are paying very close on IL cents for
their cheese, are retailing it at sixpence
per pound and realizing more profit
from the business than our men who
demand an increase in price OF over
50 per cent. BY their course they Gre
ate and foster large consumption OF
cheese, to the great advantage OF our
dairymen. The Canadian grocer. when
asked about his exorbitant price,
claims that 1t is only sufficient to cover
loss In cutting. II this Is so 1t Is only
q reflection on his poor management
and Is not valid reason. We do not
wish to see the grocer handling cheese
for nothing. but there is neither right
nor wisdom in placing cheese out OF

Tuberculin Test in Eng Land.

From the Dairy World OF London we
take the following: During the recent
congress of the Sanitary Institute in
Newcastle, the compulsory use OF the
tuberculin test. in order to free our
dairy herds from tuberculosis was free
ly advocated Some very useful infor-
nation on the subject has arrived from
America, which cannot fail to be inter-
esting to those who followed the pa
pers on the subject. A good example Is
quoted OF large dairy herd belonging
to Mr.. G. w. Laid. of Bloomfield. This
was inspected early this year, and sew
eral animals condemned and got rid OF.
The whole of the byres and barns were
thoroughly disinfected. and everything
done to help on the work OF eradication.
Six months after he demanded and OBJ
tanned a second test, which showed
that every animal in his herd was free
from the disease. In the official report
issued by the state n number of such
cases are reported. and 1t is stated that
In only some 2 per cent OF the herds
tested the second time were traces OF
disease still to be found.

Uindrances OF Turkey Raising.

Myrick, in his book on Turkeys and
How to Grow Them" scys: "The chief
hindrances and obstacles to turkey
growing are human and animal thieves,
lice and disease. You can always find
market for your dressed turkeys; you
can generally make satisfactory ar
engagements with your neighbors, IL
your birds trespass upon their land;
but all the obstacles may be overcome
by patience, perseverance aud intelli-
gence. In the more thickly settled por-
tons OF the country, thieves are the
worst enemies the turkey grower has.
In some parts of New England poultry
thieving seems to be profession with
some people, as our court records, when
a culprit is caught, will show. But
these thieves rarely steal in their own
neighborhood. They center in some
large town or city and go out by night
with teams, five. ten, and sometimes
twenty miles in their predatory excur-
sions. II your turkeys roost out OF
doors, it will be necessary to keep one
or more dogs to warn you OF the APP
proach of the thieves. or animals,
dogs do more mischief than foxes. II
you cannot cure your dog Of worrying
turkeys. shoot him. For other ami
mails. the gun, traps and poison, judi
ciously used, are effective remedies.
Lice, a great annoyance to the poultry
keeper, may be exterminated from your
flock, II they get possession, but it is
easier to keep them away. If the young
turkey begins to droop, refuses to eat,
and acts depressed, at once examine
the head for lice. You many find three
or four large brown ones half buried in
the flesh. Remove them and rub the
head with sweet oil or fresh lard
mixed with kerosene. Examine also
the ends OF the wings. There you may
find some large gray lice. which must
| be treated in like manner. * you
know that all insects. from the largest
dragon fly to the minutest hen louise.
