Id. Of pork produced by the 100 lb.
pig cost ~ cents, and the Id. Of
pork produced by the 500 lb. pig cost
8 cents. Surprising we feed pigs
Weighing 100 pounds each about rs
lbs. of feed costing 25 cents. We
should have gain of a little more
than lbs. of pork, or the pork would
cost us about cents pound. II we
fed the 25 lbs. of feed to 500 Id.
pig. we should find gain Of about 3
lbs, or the pork would cost us in the
second case about 8 cents a pound.
This Is certainly great difference IN
the cost of producing the meat. The
younger the animal after he is old
enough to consume the right kind Of
ration, the less the pork will cost
Many others among the most reliable
experimenters of the country have
reached the same results that Prof.
Henry has, and not only that, but the

The London Live Stock Journal re-
marks that a large, broad foot, ap-
preaching to roundness, Is no indica-
ton Of strength and durability Of the
hoof-rather a sign Of weakness, as
tending to become fiat-soled. When
seen in horse used for riding or driv-
ing, it may be taken, as a rule, to be
a sign of common or coarse blood in
one of his near ancestors, and that he
himself has probably inherited their
sluggish temperament as we'll as foot
conformation. The wall Of the hoof
should not bulge out too much at the
side. 1t should be Of graduated oval
shape, and not round. There is pop
ular opinion that while dark hoofs are
inclined to be brittle, white hoofs are
inclined to be soft. High authorities
believe the opinion has no foundation
in fact. What has the presence Of
pigment or absence Of it in the hairs
which surround the coronet to do with
the durability of the horn, Of which 1t
is continuation? Perhaps the horse
with the best-formed and soundest
foot of all modern breeds Is the thcr-

One Of the remarkable effects Of the
dry season has been the feeding OF
raisins to horses in the San Joaquin
valley, California, the raisins being
third-class stock, or stock that has
been rain damaged. These raisins had
been selling to the wineries at prices
ranging from SIS to 500 per ton, when
1t occurred to some enterprising far
mers that at such price 1t might be
better to feed the fruit to horses than
to- pay $50 to 1872 per ton for crushed
barley. A Fresno horseman recently
spoke as follows, through the Fresno
Republican:
BARLEY is worth $50 ton and rails
ms from SIS to $40 a ton. 1t is difficult
to sell raisins for over $40 ton.
Some time ago I concluded to use
raisins as horse feed instead Of grain.
AS an experiment l bought an old
horse and fed the animal twelve
pounds of raisins day. The nag was
worn out and poor, but in short time
he began to fatten and grow sleek. The
food seemed very nourishing and the
horse became plump and full of life.
I sold the animal back again to the
original owner for $30-three times
what l paid fer him. Twelve pounds
Of raisins are equal to twenty pounds
of barley. At the present price Of
grain this would make the food value
Of raisins about $50 ton, leaving a
profit of $40 ton over the actual
selling price Of $1S. The raisins also
make good cattle and hog food, but
I have not experimental much in that
line. Horses seem to relish the raisins
and keep in good condition while be-
ing worked. Several Of my neighbors
will follow my example and use raisins
for stock feed. This is good way to
get rid of the surplus now in the
hands of the farmer"

ties. But It stands to reason that any
drug that will prevent the fermenta-
ton of milk will also prevent the nee
essary fermentation of that and other
foods in the human stomach. We do
not want to take Into the human sys-
tenn drug that is against life. We
do not know what the continual accre-
ton of such a chemical may accom-
plish in the end. 1t may act as slow
poison. With infants and invalids this
Is particularly dangerous. The proper
course for the milkman and butter
maker is to protect the cleanliness OF
their products, and then preservatives
will have no place. See that all things
are kept clean and that no impurity
gets into the milk and butter, and their
keeping qualities will endure to any
reasonable limit of time. Perfectly
pure milk, placed in an ice chest. has
been sent across the Atlantic ocean
and been returned to New York In a
perfectly sweet condition. What has
been done in few cases can be done
In many cases.

No dairyman or farmer can afford
to ally himself with the preventative
frauds that are now rampant in the
land. No farmer can afford for con-
science sake to use an article that will
do harm to his fellow men. We are
aware that there are many advocates
of the use of preservatives in milk,
and that the temptation to use them
is great, especially with the man that
peddles milk and cream. But the
knowledge that his use of the drugs
may cost some person life should be
enough to deter him. The milk ped
dler doubtless Is often worried greatly
on account of his milk souring too
quickly. This result is due not always
to the way the milkman keeps his milk,
but often to the way in which the milk
Is kept by the patrons. Sometimes the
same vessels are used day after day
for the reception of the milk, being in
the meantime washed out only by
warm water. The utensils are clean
to all appearances, but are not really
so, for in the creases Turk few germs,
enough to start the milk souring. This
condition of affairs the milk seller
uses as justification for his use OF
preservatives. We are aware that some
of the preservatives that are on the
market are reputed by their manufac-
turers to be devoid Of harmful proper

Beef Production Per Capita.

Mr.. James Barclay, Of the American
Pastoral Company, Ltd, London, Eng
land, who is recognized as authority
upon all matters connected with agri-
culture in Great Britain, has formu-
lated some interesting calculations re-
garding the production Of beef in the
United States per capita Of population
in 1898 as compared with 1892, says
Live Stock Report. Mr.. Barclays cal
culations are based on the official gov
eminent report of the total stocks Of
cattle in the country at the beginning
of 1898 and 1892 (deducing mich cows).
It is we'll known that cattle are ma
tured much earlier now than In 1892
and Mr.. Barclay takes this factor into
account. Taking the number of beef
cattle in the country January 1, 1899,
as 1851 900 and presuming that they
were brought to maturity at an aver
age age of 81 years, this would DO
equal to 10,757 1923 per annum. As
Stunning the averaged dressed weight
to be 600 lbs. the quantity produced
annually would be 6,454, 456,S00 lbs.
equivalent to 9S1 lbs. per capita Of
population, estimated at 66.000,000 at
that time. The number Of beef cattle
on January l. 1898. was 29,264.2O0. and
assuming that these were matured in
2h years the number available for
beef annually would be 11,7O5,6SO,
which at 600 lbs. Of dressed meat each
would represent 1928, 4OS,00O lbs. or
equal to s51 lbs. per capita Of the pop
ulation of 74,000.000. The conclusion
reached is that the supply Of cattle In
the United States January 1, 1898, Is
equivalent to 951 lbs. Of beef per
capita, against 9S1 lbs. in 1892. The
foregoing calculation makes no deduc-
ton for mortality or for cattle ex-
ported, either alive or as fresh, salt or
canned beef.

Improving tho Dairy Herd.

There is no better time than the au-
tumn to begin to improve the dairy
herd by selling off the rundown and
inferior cows, and replacing them In
the spring with better ones, writes d.
P. Smith in American Cultivator. The
market price for dairy cows is never
very good in the fall, but beef animals
are always in demand. Poor dairy cows
often make good beef animals. With
a little extra feeding they can be fat
tened up so as to command good prices
at the slaughtering house. Select the
poorest mixers every fall, and start In
to feed them for the market. Take
them of the. regular diet given to the
mixers, and feed them with all tho
grain fattening food that you can.
There is nothing better for this than
corn in its various form, and sufficient
coarse food to prevent indigestion, and
fair quantity Of roots to keep the
bowels open. Do not let the cows ex-
ercise much, but keep them in a cool,
comfortable place, where they can get
good air and plenty of sunshine. Four
weeks of this fattening process will
Increase their weight very materially.
Then as soon as they have ceased to
gain send them to the market. The
Thanksgiving market is generally a
good one when fair prices can be en-

We often notice in the papers state
ments in regard to heavy hogs, says
the Maine Farmer. The man who
produces a 500 h. hog seems to take
considerable satisfaction in the
achievement, and there are cireum-
stances which would warrant mans
producing a heavy hog, but If he is
simply feeding for the profit in pork
he cannot afford to produce hog
weighing more than 200 or $50 lbs,
as the following illustration. produced
by the Wisconsin Experiment Station,
will plainly show. These careful ex-
periments have demonstrated beyond
doubt that the maintenance ration Is
in very nearly equal proportion to live
weight, that while a 100 Id. pig re-
uuires IN lbs. of food simply to keep
II. without gain or loss, q 500 ID. pig,
under the same conditions, requires
s lbs. Of the same food for its support.
The food used was lb. of wheat mid
dlings and 2 lbs. Of corn meal. Prof.
Henry further showed that about 3
lbs. of this same food would make 1
lb. of pork. 1t will be seen, then, that
Az lbs. of food given the 100 Id. pig
would maintain him and produce 1
lb. gain, but with the 800 Id. pis, it
would require lbs. for his support
and to make gain of lb. If We call
this feed worth $50 ton or cent a
pound it will be noticed that the l

Neufchatel Cheese.

A French expert, at recent dairy
show explains this process as follows:
These cheese are made with equal
parts of milk and cream. A gallon OF
the mixture at the temperature OF the
air is set with only one drop OF
rennet diluted with three drops
of water The object is to obtain
rich and smooth curd, therefore use no
more rennet than is absolutely neces-
sary to convert the milk and cream
very slowly into curd. The quantity
of the rennet required will vary with
its strength, with the season and tenn
perature and with the age and con-
dition of the milk. Warm, poor or
stale milk will require less rennet:
cold milk or milk enriched with cream
requires more; the exact quantity re-
quired under varying circumstances
can only be ascertaiHed by experience.
The curd is formed in "a hours. II Is
then put into cloth in a light wooden
square frame to drain for IL hours and
gently strained two or three times,
when the cloth is then changed and
the curd pressed. When the whey has
been pressed out, the curd is worked
smooth in the cloth with fiat trowel
and put into molds lined with paper,
when 1t can be turned out at once and
disposed Of as soon as the cheese is
sufficiently firm to bear packing. It
will be observed that the principles Of
manufacture of these and other soft
cheese is directly opposed to that
which regulates the making Of hard
cheeses, as follows: First, the guam
tity Of rennet applied Is very small;
second, the temperature is not raised;
third, the curd is therefore long time
in coagulating; fourth, the curd Is
neither cooked nor cut; fifth. the curd
is carefully and gently lifted from one
draining cloth to another.

MIX Condenslng Experiment. In Iadis.

MIX Condenslng Experiment In Indis.
An English exchange says: Under
the above title, 1t is proposed to start
a joint stock company in the Bombay
presidency to manufacture condensed
milk. and generally to deal in dairy
products. With capital Of $4,000
rupees to start with, It is believed
that the company can work on a suf-
ficiently extensive scale, and will show
very good results. The management
Of the affairs Of the company will be
entrusted to the Prince Of Wales Dairy
Company, who have been dealing In
dairy products for the last seven years,
and have very good connections with
all the centers where dairy products
are consumed on large scale. The
promoters are sanguine that the work.
ing Of the company will yield very
handsome results, and that they will
be able to pay not less than 9 per
cent per annum on the capital. It Is
pointed out in the prospectus than an
enterprise Of this description has not
been undertaken before in India; and
having regard to this fact, We should
think that the estimate Of success
which has been formed has been based
rather upon the result which is desired
than upon the actual prospect of sue
cess. India cannot be said to excel as
dairy country, and when 1t enters
into competition with those countries
where condensed milk is produced un-
der the most favorable conditions,
1t labors under the greatest disad-
vantage; and the fact Of the want Of
experience on the part of those under
takinS'tMs new line of business is not
calculated to lessen the difficulties In
the way Of a successful outcome Of this
experiment.

The Chinese Outlook.

The death OF the Chinese emperor
Kuang Hsu, whether by ASSASSINATION
or suicide, after having resigned MS
throne to the ex-Queen Regent, ISL
An, is likely to produce an important
effect upon the political and CONNER
cial relations of other countries WIN
China. It's immediate effect VIII De 10
preyent the carrying out OF the re-
forms proposed by the young emperor
and announced in recent edicts issued
nv his authority. From all accounts,
the emperor was well disposed young
man, but rather weak and vacillating
in character. His progressive policy
was said to be due to the influence OIL
Kan Yu Mel, the young editor OF re-
form paper published in Canton called
"Chinese Progress" This young man,
who had received an English educa-
ton, secured access to the emperor
and succeeded in obtaining great in
fuence over him. He read to him
biography of Peter the Great, and
book describing the progress made oy
Japan which awakened in the emperor
a desire to make China more like the
other countries Of the world. Under
the spell OF this influence he author
lied the publication Of series OF
edicts for the establishment OF free
schools, for a postal service, granting
to all subjects the privilege OF petit
tioning the throne, heretofore restrict
ed to certain privileged classes, and
providing severe penalties for any at
tempt by officials to prevent such petit
lions from reaching the royal ear. and
also permitting the editors of news
papers to write on political subjects
Gin order to enlighten those in author
ity and tear off the veil that hides IN
security the misgovernment of OFF,
Gals" Such edicts were we'll calcu-
lated to cause alarm in government
circles and shock conservative Chinese
sentiment, which has been wont to
consider the person Of the emperor
too sacred for any direct personal re-
lations with his ordinary subjects. His
dismissal of LII Hung Chang was be-
ueyed to be a concession to the Eng
lish ambassador. Sir Claud MacDon-
aid, who charged that Prince LII was
in the pay of Russia and working for
the interests of that country In oppo-
sition to England. AS Ii Hung Chang
has always enjoyed the confidence and
protection of Isl An, this act on the
part Of the emperor may have been
equivalent to his death warrant. At
any rate he is dead. and doubtless
paid the penalty of his rash reforms.
He had time, however, to warn his
friend, Mr.. yam, who escaped in a Brit
| ish vessel.
The return to power of Isl An has
restored Ii Hung Chang to his old'po-
sition, and it is feared that Russian
influences will operate powerfully for
the curtailment of English and Amer
lean trading privileges in China. Rus
sia's policy from now on will demon
strate now far her expressed desire for
peace and disarmament is sincere. II
that is her real wish, she will encour-
age open ports and so modify her ap-
parent disposition to nonopoiize trade
to the exclusion of other countries as
to leave England no provocation for
war.

At a conference of labor officials,
held in Plttsburg recently. plans
were prepared for vigorous strike IN
the fourth pool on the Monongahela
and Youghiogheny coal mining dis
tricts to enforce an agreement on the
Chicago wage scale. Some of the OPP
orators in these districts are paying
less than the 34.13c. wage rate, as
called for by the Chicago agreement,
and others are accused Of using screens
with larger openings than those pre-
scribed in the agreement, without an
increase in wages.
The latest developments in the sugar
war are indicated by dispatches from
New York stating that Oct. the
American Sugar Refining company re-
duced all grades one-eighth cent a
pound, which brought the posted price
for granulated down to five and one
eignths cents a pound. The agents
for the Mollenhauer and National
sugar refineries at once cut the price
of granulated to five cents pound
1t is stated that this price, which rep
resents a cut Of one-half cent pound
in ten days, leaves no margin OF proh'
to the refiners.
According to Berlin dispatches, the
German government has recently DIS
covered that thousands Of tons OF
American pork have been imported
through a number of custom houses
for years past without certificates.

of the fact and denied its accuracy I'M
til overwhelming evidence was obtain

The embassy has requested the for
