Cows and sISlmmIlk.

A seemingly unnatural use FOR skim
milk, but one which has been reported
as satisfactorily praoticed in a number
OF places, is an food for milk cows
Some German accounts are given Of
mixing skimmilk with water, q very
little at frat and gradually increased
until the cows are taught to drink the
milk alone. Others describe using milk
and meal or bran of some kind to make
paste, and claims are made that in
this form ten pounds Of skimmilk re-
place one pound Of wheat or rye bran,
having the same food value with cows.
The method Of feeding the skimmilk
back to the COWS producing il, which
has been most practiced and advocated
in Europe, originated in Sweden. The
milk is heated to l55 degrees or 100 de-
grees +. for half an hour, then cooled
to 100 degrees f., and rennet is added.
While the milk is thickening an equal
weight Of Chaff or finely cut straw Is
mixed In, and after being we'll stirred 1t
Is allowed TO stand two or three hours
in large tub or tank. The separated
whey is then drawn OFF and poured over
the mixture, that as much as possible
may be absorbed. The whole mass is
then left to ferment from 40 to 48 hours,
according to the weather. when it is re-
garded as prepared for feeding. Cows
are given as much of this "skimmilk
feed" as will equal gallon Of milk per
day. It is claimed that as thus prepared
gallon Of skimmilk amply replaces
four pounds Of concentrated grain food.
Reports from Sweden, Norway and Dem
mark are favorable TO this method OF
utilizing creamery skimmilb, and some
who have tried it in this country make
like reports, while others give con-
trary opinion. Western Ploughman.

there is hardly any increase at all. It is
thus evident that, combining aeration
with cooling as soon as possible after
milking, we gain a double effect, and
this is best obtained by letting tho milk
flow over a surface Of tin or timed cop
per, which is cooled by cold water or
ice.
It is also evident that the easier such
au apparatus is kept clean the better it
is. II for unavoidable reasons () the
milk cannot be treated at once, / feel
inclined to advise reheating it to 98 or
ITO degrees before aerating and cooling.
In view Of some practical experiments
made by me, l cannot urge the aerating
and cooling Of all milk too strongly,
not only for direct consumption, but for
Croameries and cheese factories.

geration il I claim that il all milk

when 60 Harvest Sugar Bseta.

When to harvest sugar beets is q diff
cult matter to judge accurately. Usual
ly the sugar factory will notify the
farmers when to harvest and deliver
beets. At the Colorado experiment sta
tion last year beets remained unharvest-
ed from Oct. to Jan. 8 without loss
Of sugar or weight of crop. In fact, there
was a slight gain in both particulars,
but the climate is drier there than in
most states where this crop is grown.
It also appeared at the Colorado station
that simple freezing did not affect the
quality of the beet, thus confirming
some Of the tests on this point made az
Utah factory. "The sugar is not
changed by freezing, but its distribu-
ton in the beet may be materially at-
footed where only portion OF the root
has been frozen, especially II subse-
uuent thawing has taken place. Or

Corn Cultivation.

A system Of corn cultivation that
will give highest yield under ordinary
conditions seems to the Illinois station
to be about as follows: Cultivate deep
during the early part Of the season to
remove weeds, conserve moisture and
allow the plant an early vigorous de.
velopment. Then gradually decrease
the depth as the corn grows, until near
the end Of the season, when the cultiva-
tion should be shallow and as far from
the hill as is consistent with removing
weeds, in order to avoid root pruning
and to leave the soil Ia the best me-
0hAmical conditiOn.

breeder, but it is not what any good
breeder should be satisfied to do. He
should strive to improve. Each year he
should expect his birds to be little
nearer perfection than they were the
year before, and il his expectations
are not realized he should not be dis
couraged and should not abate one jot
or title from them. He should work for
results
To work successfully for results one
should have in the first place clearly
defined ideal. If his ideal is hazy, it
will lead him long journey before its
attainment, because, not knowing just
what he wishes to accomplish, he will
be drawn sometimes in one direction
and sometimes in another. If one starts
for a given place, the best way to get
there is to keep going in one direction
II one travels five miles one day and re-
traces his steps the next day, he will
not progress very far in year.
Not only should the ideal be we'll de-
fined, but it should be worthy one. A
breeder of my acquaintance whose
speciality is Barred Plymouth Rocks at
one time determined to produce birds
with good red eyes. Every bird with
pale eye, no matter how good it was
otherwise, was to be rejected. Good
eyes were the one consideration. He
succeeded. But as the point was Of
trivial value the result was not worth
the effort The character Of the ideal
will determine the value of the result.
1t becomes, then, very necessary to se'
cure o worthy ideal in order that the
labor may be we'll rewarded.
If a breeder has a we'll defined and
worthy ideal, he next asks himself the
question, "How is this ideal to be made
real?" And this is very important
query We can only generalize upon the
answer because each separate ideal re-
quires separate treatment, but every
ideal has this in common with other
ideals, that its attainment requires
careful study Of the material with
which one has to deal One needs to
know the exact results already attained,
and then he knows the distance between
what is and what is desired. He needs
to know the breeding tendency Of his
birds, for then he can prognostiCate the
direction in which variation will ap-
pear.s Every breeder therefore should
make careful study Of his birds, learn
not only what they are, but how they
were produced, and be keen to notice
very small things With such knowledge
he will be able to mate them more sue
cessfully to produce favorable varia-
tions--that is, variations in the direc
tion of the improvement sought. III. S.

AERATlON AND COOLING.
A Matter OF n Million Dollars to Ameri-
can Dairymen.

A Matter Of n Million Dollars TO Ameri-
can DaArymen.
Scientists tell us that the milk COM
ing from healthy COW, fed pure food,
is virtually free from germs and pure,
but practice teaches us that it is impos-
sible to secure the milk in that oondi-
tion.
Even if the milk comes from per
fectly clean stable, where the cows and
all surroundings are kept clean, the i'm
mediate aeration and cooling Of the milk
are Of incalculable value, providing al
ways that the work is done in q room
where the air is pure.
Though no scientific explanation can
be given us as to the reason why aera-
tion improves the milk, yet it seems to
me possible that it may be caused by
the fact that many Of the bacteria Caus-
ing taint are anaerobio and develop best
where the air is excluded and that even
il the Tactic acid bacteria should de-
velop a little these are, if limited,
really of benefit, giving flavor as shown
in cream ripening. That aeratiOn elimi.
mates many odors caused by gases is ac-
knowledged by all.
That cooling the milk at once after
milking is an enormous help in preserv-
ing it is easily understood when we
know chat the development Of all spores
and bacteria is retarded exactly in pro-
portion to the reduction Of the tempera-
ture. This is best understood by the
archaeological experiments, which
showed that milk containing originally
975 bacteria, kept at SO degrees, multi

This pertains to last years pullets, and
they will, if properly fed during the

Then ali the other fellows would laugh aloud and

OLLIE MACK'S DIAMONDS
ONE WENT TO HIS WIFE. AND FINER
ONES TO "THE OTHER WOMAN"
Divorce Granted 10 Mrs. TrumbulI,
with Custody of the Child
to the Husband.

Judge Allen. of the Circuit Court, yester-
day granted Esteila K Trumbul a divorce
from Oliver M. Trumbull, who is known in
the theatrical business as ''Ollie Mack" He
is of the team of Murray and Mack
comedians. With her divorce Mrs. Trum-
bull receives 5000 alimony. She charged
her husband with unfaithfulness, claiming
that he neglected her for another woman
an actress in his own company. The de-
PENDANT was represented by his attorney
who made no defense. 1t had been arranged
that the husband should, have the custody
OF their four-year-old boy. Mrs. Trumbuil
did not object to this, as she explained to
the court she intends going into the theatre
cal business again and she would not care
to have the boy with her. The youngster
will be taken care of by Trumbulfs mother,
who lives at Centerville Mrs. Trumbull is
to have the privilege of visiting the child
whenever she desires.
The TrumbullS have not lived together for
more than year. The wife in explaining
her trouble to Judge Allen complained that
Trumbull lavished money on this "other
woman" Last Christmas, she said, she
wrote to her husband for money for herself
and the boy. Trumbull did not send her the
money, but instead sent her diamond pin
valued at $3.50. She afterward learned that
he purchased diamond butterfly" for the
other woman" paying $3.50 for the jewel.
Mrs. Trumbulls maiden name was Kesler.
She formerly travelled with her husband.

COUNTY CLERK AT HAVANA.
Mr.. FesIer May Go ON a Visit to
Gomez.

Clinton L. Hare yesterday received let
ter from County Clerk Fesler, who has
gone to Cuba to spend several weeks. Mr..
Fesler reached Havana at o'clock last
Wednesday morning. He writes from the
Gran Hotel Inglaterra," and says that he
is having very busy time of it. With q, 900
soldiers in the city and a harbor full of
naval craft, Mr.. Feser thinks that it would
look to the outsider as if the prospects for
war were bright. He says that there are
but twelve. or fourteen transient Americans
left in the city of Havana, and these are
mostly newspaper correspondents. He says
since he reached Havana he has received
the most courteous treatment. The resident
Spaniards, Mr.. Fesler finds, do not think
that war is probable, They say they can
see no cause for it. They admit, however,
that the result of the Cuban troubles are
likely to be disastrous to Spain. Mr.. Fes-
Ter has visited the palace of the captain
general and has been aboard the big Span
ish war ship ViZcaya. He does not know
when he will return, and says that he con-
templates trip into the hills with a maya
zine artist who is about to set out in search
of Gomez.
