Under the above heading, Hoard 8
Dairyman says:
Strictly speaking, the matter of
feeding for milk is yet long way
from being an exact science. Probably
it never will be, owing to two very
variable factors in the problem-the
COW and the man who feeds her.
But we are fast learning something
from science concerning the principles
and laws which govern results. We
do not need to be wholly blind and
stupid on this matter unless we wish
to.
There is simple and yet potent
reason why the COW must have q suffi-
cient amount of protein each day in
her food il she is expected to give
profitable mess of milk. OF course she
must be the right kind of COW, and
be handled right otherwise. But that
is another branch of the science.
The reason why she must have her
daily protein is that she must put a
certain proportion of protein in her
milk-that is the casein, or cheesey
part. There is great big MUST be.
hind the COW in this. There is only
one way out of it. that is, to make less
milk. Does any one want her to make
less milk? II 80, feed her without any
regard to the science of her work and
she will do it, Thousands of stupid
men all over the country who despise
science, calling it book farming, are
praoticing that way.
The COW cannot change the proper
lions of her milk to any extent. As
she was born to do, so must she con-
tlnue to do. The COW, not the feed,
governs the proportions of the solids
IN the milk. Here is where individ-
uallty comes in. Breed is nothing
more than established individuality in
certain direction. But whatever her
individuality or breed she cannot make
something out of nothing.
She cannot make butter fat with
out making due proportion of casein.
She must make balanced product,
and she cannot unbalance it to suit any
man. She is bound down by the rigid
law of her being. Science is studying
it every day, spending the money Of
States and nations by experiments to
find out what? The law of her being.
And yet there are men who keep COWS
who declare that their ignorance is a
safer guide with COW than the wis.
dom Of all the rest Of the world.
Albumen is protein; and SO the COW.
II she cannot get what protein she
needs to put the ossein in her milk.
shuts down the gate and gives less
milk.
Because such great number of
farmers who keep cows will not read
and study out this matter is the reason
why they are making so little money.
If they would read here they would
read in other things about the COW to
their profit. But they shut the light
out Of their minds, saying: It's all
humbug; can't farm it the way that
paper talks, and SO continue with
their poor cows, poor Methods and
poor results"

To Eradicate wild Mustard.

We know no way to clean land Of
mustard but by using it for intensified
intro-cultured crops. The land might
be ploughed in the fall, about the LIST
of September. Some Of the mustard
would start. In the spring replough.
Plant to potatoes or corn, and give alb.
solutely clean culture. Skill and care
will be required to kill the mustard
as fast as it appears, and the oultiva-
tion will have to be performed from
five to seven times and until rather
late in the season. Now and then a
stray plant, which appears in the hill
or drill, will have to be removed by
hand. AS soon as the crop is re.
moved, replough. Apply no manures
which have mustard seed in them.
About three years of both fall and
spring ploughing and clean culture
during the summer will have SO far
reduced the mustard rs to make it pos.
sible to pull what few plants appear in
subsequent crops.-Country Gentle

Notes for the Apiary.

When bees are confined to their
hives by cold weather they cannot be
fed liquids. but candy only.
Bees will gather pollen very early,
and long before the blossoms open in
spring. They may be furnished pollen
from the dust Of finely ground grain of
the small varieties.

Keys or geese are the best brush to use
IN brushing bees from the combs or
hive or III hiving swarms. etc. Brushes
made Of hair do not seem to suit them,
and when used will enrage them to a
lighting pitch.

FOR THE FARMERS.
Some Interesting News for the
Ruralist
SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
A Few Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
REORGANIZATION That May
Benefit our Readers.
Horse. Hoof.

From the birth to the death of the
horse, says fellow of the Royal Col
lege Of Veterinary Surgeons, the hoof
requires attention if it is to be kept in
a healthy condition. 1t is before the
hoof is sbod that the feet are generally
neglected, and the animals suffer ac-
cordingly, because they are young and
immature. and the bones and other
tissues are soft ana could be easily dis
torted to suit the conditions under
which they are kept. The feet Of
foals and growing horses should there
fore have attention given to them,
since neglect at that period often sows
the seed of continuous trouble. The
hoofs should be kept clean by being
picked out as often as possible to pre-
vent any dirt or hard substance being
buried in the assures of the feet They
should be examined from time to time
(say every six or eight weeks) to detect
any defects of shape that might be TAX
ing place. If the feet are not growing
level and symmetrical they should be
rendered so by asping away the horn
which is not naturally worn down.
IL this is neglected the animal will
soon have the fetlock joint bending
over toward the outside. On no pre-
tense whatever should the front of the
wall be interfered with, for the glazed
coating of its surface protects the horn
beneath it. 1t should therefore be
left untouched.
II would be as we'll to disabuse peo-
Piles minds sof a very popular falIaoy
viz, that wet, soft ground, and even
manure yards, are the best places to
keep young horses, and some would
even have the frogs and soles pared
thin to allow the moisture to penetrate
more easily. No greater mistake is
made than that, for the preservation of
the hoof depends to great extent upon
the soil the animal was reared on.
The best footed horses are bred on dry
soils, and that is undoubtedly the
kind OF ground best adapted to the
healthy growth of horn.
Young horses require plenty of ex.
ercise, and unless they are allowed it
the growth Of the horn, etc., is sure
to be defective. Then the question
rises: When ought horse to be first
shod? The answer Is, when the work
required of the animal wears the horn
away faster than it is formed or grown,
or, in other words, SO long as the horn
of the foot can stand the wear re-
quired, it will not need protecting
(shoeiDg). Moreover, if the young
horses are not shod SO early they will
not be worked so hard. and fewer
would be ruined in their youth, as is
too often the case at the present time.

All those who keep bees should ac-
quaint themselves with the nature and
habits of the same, so they may be sue.
cessful with them. More colonies be-
come lost from the loss of queens than
from almost anything else, and every
one should know the condition of every
colony in this respect readily. by an
examination. The presence of brood
indicates that the queen is all right.
No brood in any stage indicates that
the queen is not present, usually.

Serious plague riots have occurred in
the native quarter TO Bombay. The
total losses Of the rioters are yet nm
known. but the outbreak is regarded as
the most alarming that has occurred in
India in many years. The trouble
arose through plague party inquiring
into the cause Of the sickness of a Mo-
nammedan woman. An enormous
crowd OF caste men gathered and
stoned and mobbed the party, which
retired for an escort Of armed police
and then returned and demanded the
surrender Of the patient, which was
refused. A Parsee magistrate, who
exhorted the populace not to resist the
police was himself struck, whereupon
he.ordered the police to charge. They
did SO. and four Mohamedans were
killed and several were wounded.
