Efect Of Food ON Butter.

The solidity of butter is affected to a
certain extent by the feed of the COWS.
AS nearly all dairymen know, when
COWS come from dry winter feed to fresh
grass in the spring the butter has less
"body." The difference caused by the
different kinds of winter feed is very
little-muoh less than is usually sup
posed. This is evidenced by the dis
agreement of dairymen on this point.
For instance, one is positive that corn
meal will make harder butter than
wheat bran, while the next one you ask
will tell you the opposite is true-that
oornmeal makes the softer butter of the
two In my experimenting there were
only two feeds that could say with any
certainty affected the solidity Of the
butter, and they did not to very great
extent. When in making up grain ra
tion two or three pounds of cottonssed
meal a day was used, it hardened the
butter slightly; when the same amount
of oilmeal was used instead of cotton
An experiment was tried at the Iowa
experiment station in 1895 with the OBJ
ject of determining the effect of cotton
seed meal on butter the details of which
are published in bulletin 80 of that sta
ton. Professor Curtiss found that feed
ing as high as five or six pounds day
per COW of cottonseed meal had but
slight effect on the flavor or solidity Of
the butter, though it must be said that
at some other experiment stations a
greater effect was noticed where large
amount of the meal was fed. But
must repeat that with the quantity that
any careful dairyman would feed the
effect of the different kinds of meals or
grains on the solidity of the butter
would be scarcely noticeable. P.

Experiments with MIX.

The Kansas college dairy took three
cans of milk as they came from the
barn. The first was left standing in the
milkhouse without aerating or cooling.
The second can was cooled to 62 degrees
and left standing by the side of the
first. The third can was treated the
same as the second, except that after
cooling it was placed in tub of cool
water and covered with wet gunny
sacks. The next morning samples were
taken from each can and submitted to
DR.. Fischer, the bacteriologist, who de-
termined the number of bacteria. The

Agricultural College.

Rivalry of Species at the Minnesota
Agricultural College.
Professor Shaw, head of the depart
ment of animal husbandry at the Mime
sofa State Agricultural college, has in
stituted new series of experiments,
says the st. Paul Pioneer Press. The
farm has just purchased 1870 lambs, and
in few days more Professor Shaw will
be in the midst of feeding experiments
designed to solve definitely the impor-
tant problem of what breeds possess the
best qualifications for quick and eco
nomical fattening. The experiments will
cover four of the most popular sheep
breeds in the orthwest-Cotswold
Merinos, Oxfords and mixed Shrop-
shires and Southdowns.
Some 35 or 40 of each class will be
used in the experiments. They are all
on hand now, with the exception of the
Oxfords, and these are expected almost
any day. The lambs were purchased at
the New Brighton yards and are from
large number brought in from the Mon
tana ranges for finishing. Each lot is
representative collection of grade lambs,
half bloods or better and selected with
an eye to as perfect uniformity as posi-
BILE between the four classes. The con-
ditions seem to be good for fair test of
the fattening qualities of different
breeds.
The system of feeding will be changed
somewhat from former years, owing
chiefly to the higher prices of grain.
Barley was one of the leading con-
coInitants i'll last winters scheme of
feeding, and it was found to work
splendidly, but barley is out of the ques-
ton this year on account of the price,
so Professor Shaw will replace it with
corn. In place of corn ensilage and
clover hay, corn fodder and sorghum
will be mainly used for the roughage.
Otherwise the system Of feeding will
practically follow that which has been
found to give the best results for the
money in previous years. Professor
Shaw is enthusiastic over the possibili-

Demand For Horses.

Several years ago, when good brood
mares were cheap, farmers were advised
to pick up few, breed them and take
care of the foals. Subsequent events
have proved that this advice was good.
The man who has strictly high class
3-year-old or 4-year-old is not looking
in vain for buyer. Good horses are
getting scarce, and little wonder. They
have been going to market at a rapid
rate during the past three years. The
past ten months at Chicago alone 1885,
600 head were handled, and the years
business at other points is the greatest
on record. Many have gone out of the
country, and more will 60. This year is
the first of the revival of breeding, and
it will be at least five years before the
foaIs of this breeding can go to market.
This means that for the next five years
we must depend largely on our present
supply of horses, and it is likely to be
much reduced during that period. Ma.

KANSAS Hnra.

The quarterly report of Secretary Co
burn of the Kansas board of agriculture
is devoted wholly to the pork producing
interests Of Kansas. He lauds the pork
ers until, were swine endowed with the
gift Of reading, they would swell up to
the proportions that would entitle every
one to blue ribbon at a county fair.
He tells of the hog as mortgage re-
mover in terms that almost tempt the
casual reader to embrace the first hog
he meets. The report shows that in 1897
there were 8, 500, 494 hogs in Kansas,
worth $11. 997, 470. This was an in
crease of 566, 600 hogs over the year
previous, and the increase in value of
pork products was proportional.

Impossible to Keep n Dairy Herd a<
n StandstiIl.
A dairymsn has no choice in the mat
ter, says Hoard's Dairy man. He can't
stand still with his stock. The tendency
is always to retroerade, to return to
the original type, where only enough
milk is produced to feed the calf. Re-
member that the modern dairy animal
is the result of long continued selection
in one direction, and in SO far as we
have devifSed from the normal animal
and succeeded in raisiSg her above the
normal standard Of NIX production in
just that proportion have we increased
the tendency to return to the lower
level. The production of a special pur-
pose animal in whatever line is long,
tedious process. Careful selection, train
ing and feeding through many genera
tions will often produce wonderful re-
suits, but when we have arrived at what
seems to be the goal just ahead we can
often see still further Improvements to
be made, still higher results to be OBJ
tanned. On the other hand, the process
of retrogression or atavism is both rapid
and easy. Given poor feed, oarelessness
and neglect, and Brown Bessie herself
will slide down the heights so painfully
attained with a rapidity little less
than marvellous. Neglect for few gen.
erations will undo the work of many
years of the utmost care in breeding and
selection.
A poor farmer can take the finest type
of dairy or beef animals and bring their
progeny back to their original monde
script condition in but few genera
tions. The cattle of such a farmer are
doubtless better adapted for the strug
gle against wind, weather and starva-
ton, but they are not adapted for in
creasing the contents of his pocketbook.
On the other hand, the keeping the ami
mails up to their highest capacity means
careful, intelligent selection and feed
ing. It is harder work than the first
method, but the results are common
surate. The dairyman can choose for
himself the road he desires, butter or
beef. But if through neglect in breed
ing and feeding he arrives at that mon
grel result known as the special dual
purpose animal and finds that her re-
turns are not encouraging it is only be-
cause he has taken the wrong road, and
his results follow as consequence.
There is no business where results fol-
low SO directly the conditions nor where
the carelessness of the producer can
have such decided lowering of results
as the dairy, and the neglectful owner
feels his neglect in the most tender spot
his pocketbook.

FALL CALVES.
Many Advantages If Properly Cared
For In Winter.

Many Advantages II Properly Cared
For In Winter.
The greatest yield is obtained from
COWS that calve in the fall, if proper
care, feed and shelter are provided dur
ing the winter. The prices of butter fat
and butter are higher during the winter
and with COWS fresh in the fall or early
winter this higher price comes during
the period of greatest yield.
A COW owned by the college gave the
following yields of butter fat in pounds,
by months, for ten months: 21.3, 319,
S1.2, S05, 329, 80, 1877, 1878, &c. 2
and 92.2. If this product had been sold
to one of the leading Kansas creameries
at the prices paid last year, and the COW
had calyed April /, the returns would
have been $44.8 80, while if she had
calved Sept l the same product would
have brought $40. ia difference of
$4.64 for single COW.
A COW that calves in the early fall
while ON grass is in the best condition
to make high yield when fresh. Good
feed and care through the winter will
maintain good yield, and when the
COW is turned to pasture in the early
spring fresh flow will be started that
will considerably increase the years
yield.
A COW that calves in the spring has
the best milk producing feed at time
when she will do we'll with any good
ration. AS the flow begins to slacken,
the quality of the feed grows poorer
and flies and heat help to cut it down
still lower. In the fall, when the milk
begins to drop rapidly on account of the
time from calving, the COW goes from
green pastures to dsy feed--a change
that tends to reduce the yield and dry
up the flow entirely. Winter dairying
avoids injury to flavor of butter from
weeds in summer and fall pastures.
Cows, with fair surroundings, can be
made more comfortable in winter than
in summer, and with fall calving will
be dry when heat, flies and drought are
severest, and when butter prices are the
lowest.
Winter dairying furnishes profitable
employment for the farmer and his men
at a season of the year when without it
farm forces are either idle or work for
low wages.
Another advantage of fall calving is
that the calves can be raised at a season
when there is time to give to them that
careful attention which is SO great a
factor in calf raising by hand, when
losses from heat, flies, diarrhea and
sour milk can be avoided and when at
weaving time the calves can go from
milk to green pasture without check
in growth. -Bulletin Kansas Expert

produce as big litter then as she will
later, but it is important for all her fu-

production should be early established.

allowed TO suckle the sow until they
are 10 weeks old, though both the pigs
