Tho ,,u.t.r Conflict Abroad.

The American butter-makers have q
hard fight before them in their at
tempts 70 capture the butter market.
In this connection the Dairy World Of
London says: The high hopes Of
American producers do not appear to
be approaching speedy realization SO
far as the trade in butter with this
country is concerned, for IL we take
the season represented by the first two
months of the year and compare 1t
with the preceding season. we find
that the receipts from the United
States have fallen from 46.8I3 cwt. to
S,410 cwt. The imports from Denmark.
Sweden and New Zealand have. on the
other hand, materially increased. An
other factor which is calculated to tell
against the American product Is the
increase in the supply Of butter from
Ireland, and with this increase a de-
cided improvement in the quality and
uniformity Of the article. resulting
from a careful study of the require
ments of the English market. 1t cao-
not be said that American makers
have altogether hit off, the taste OF
the English consumer. the preference
for a less highly favored article being
to the disadvantage of the American
product. The competition in butter
being SO keen, and the sources of pro-
duction SO numerous-thereby giving
almost unlimited choice to the British
is indispensable, apart
from the question Of flavor. that the
choicest grades only should be put
upon the market, and that the greatest
should be paid to uniformity
of quality, in which there is certainly
much room for Improvement"

Sheep Raising in Illinois.

In the course of an address on this
subject, Hon. J. NJ. Bell. president of
the Illinois Sheep Breeders associa-
tion, said:
Fifty-five years ago We had the poor
est sheep you ever saw. They would
not be called sheep now. After a while
We realized we had tc have better sheep
or quit the business. When We had 10
fence the sheep we got better sheep.
As time went along the business didn't
pay as we'll as We wanted it to. and we
had to hav. heavier fleeccs, and they
grew heavier and heavier, and then
came this depression, and mutton was
in demand, and the sheep We used to
have were not quite the thing we
thought. Then We had to have a larger
sheep. We put on the mutton attach
ment, and found when I made inves-
LEGATIONS for the agricultural depart
ment that the men in 1889 who had
mutton in their fiocks were pretty well
satisfied, ard the men who didn't have
mutton In their focks didn't know
what they were going to do.
In Illinois our situation is particu-
larly happy and particularly sorry. We
have the best land on earth. We can
raise more corn than anybody. We can
raise as much clover hay as anybody.
We can have the best blue grass pas
lures of anybody. and just as much of
them; and As you have heard of the
excellence Of blue grass pasture for
cattle SO it is :or sheep. But We are
drifting in the right direction. We
kept sheep long time ago and thought
We never would raise mutton in this
country. 1t is raised everywhere now
in the United States. There isn't
district out west where mutton is not
included in their focks. We can beat
the world IL We try, and 1t isn't very
hard for Illinois people to try.
We are today surrounded by corn
fields. In my own county we have
corn to burn. It is cheaper in Macon
county than anywhere else. Why?
Simply because there is no corn fed
there. Why Is Nebraska so successful
and prosperous? Why are they getting
iec bushel for their corn fed to sheep!
They arc raising the corn and feeding
it to the sheep right On their farms
and paying on their mortgages. Why
should We not do the same way? This
thing will have to be done. and I in
sist upon It We shall breed our own
sheep. It win pay us better to feed
our corn and our oats and our hay to
well bred sheep than to range sheep.

Fattenlng Beeves.-Corn will be
higher than it was last year. We will
feed our young steers more corn fod-
der and less grain because Of this, but
the steers designed for market will re-
ceive all the grain they will be able to
digest. With corn at 40 cents per
bushel and a large quantity Of low
priced roughness, it would pay to feed
freely of the latter and less OF the
former, taking longer time in fatten-
ing. Years ago the writer satisfied
himself that it did not pay to feed
young steers grain when they were
on good pasture in Illinois. and that.

Eosertson's Combination Silage.

EO5ertsOn's Combination SilAGe.
Prof. Henry, in his new book on Feed
and Feeding" has this to say about
the Robertson combination silage:
Robertson, of the Dominion station.
Ottawa. in the effort to secure silage
containing the nutrients of balanced
ration, concluded that the following
mixture would prove satisfactory: Ten
tons Of green fodder corn. three tons
Of English horse beans, and one and
one-half tons Of sunflower heads. To
secure the proper proportion of these
crops under Canadian conditions. for
each acre Of corn there should be
planted half an acre of horse beans
and one-fourth of an acre of sunflOw-
ers. This mixture was found satisfac-
tory in feeding trials with dairy cows
and fattening steers. Since the horse
bean does not thEive in the United
States, except possibly in the extreme
north, some ether plant must be sub
stituted in mixtures Of this character.
Mr. G. +. Weston. superintendent Of
the Biltnore estate, North Carolina.
reports to the writer that he has found
that one load Of COW pea vines mixed
with two leads of green corn forage
produces an excellent silage for dairy
cows"

Fcrago Plants.

The Nebraska Experiment Station,
summarizing some experiments, says:
Permanent grass pastures may be
successfully substituted by certain an
uual forage plants.
A quick-growing variety Of sorghum
affords pasture fully equal to native or
cultivated grasses.
Sorghum has the advantage of afford
ing more forage per acre, and in being
green and succulent throughout the en-
tire summer. Its disadvantage consists
in the necessity Of plowing the land for
each crop.
One acre of sorghum will furnish pas
ture for ten cows twelve days.
The most profitable time to pasture
sorghum is after it has attained its
height, and before heading.

German Method Of Preserving EGGS.
A series of interesting experiments
In the preservation of eggs. carried on
last year In Germany, has just been
published in an official consular report.
After eight months of preservation,
400 eggs. divided into twenty different
parcels for that many methods of ex-
pertinent, were examined, with heter-
ogenous results. Upon opening for
use. the eggs presented the following
results. according to the parcels origin
ally numbered: 1. Eggs put DIP for
preservation in salt water were all
bad. not rotten. but uneatable, the salt
having penetrated into the eggs. 2.
Wrapped in paper. 80 per cent bad. 3.
Preserved in q solution Of salicylic
acid and glycerine. 80 per cent bad.
4. Rubbed with salt, 20 per cent bad.
8. Preserved in bran, 20 per cent bad.
6. Provided with a covering of paraf-
I'm. 20 per cent bad. Z. Vanished
with a solution of glycerine and sal;cy-
lie acid. 20 per cent bad. s. Put In
boiling water for twelve to fifteen sec
onds, SO Fer cent bad. 3. Ireaseu

bad. 10. Put in a solution of salicylic
acid. 80 per cent bad. II. Varn'shed

Is. Preserved in wood ashes. 20 per
cent bad. 16. Treated with borlc acla
and water glass, 20 per cent bad. II.
Treated with manganate of potash. ~
per cent bad. Is. Vanished with
vaseline. all good. 10. Preserved IN
lime water. all good. 20. Preserved
In solution of water glass, all good.
The last three methods are conse-
quently to be considered the best ones,
and especially the preservation in the
solution of water glass. as vanishing
the eggs with vaseline takes too much
time, and the treatment with lime
water sometimes communicates to the
eggs a disagreeable odor and taste.
There Is one drawback with eggs pre-
served in a solution Of water glass

Suggestions on Fruit.-In his annual
ad:. .ess President Goodrich of the Ilii-
nos Horticultural Society remarked
that 1t was a strange fact that many
men place fruit in the list of luxur:es
and tobacco and cigars in the list q
necessities. In reference to treatment
Of the orchard after it begins to fruit
he considered it a good plan to put in
the hogs when the apples begin to fall.
for they will eat the fallen apples as
fast as they fall and thus destroy the
worms contained in them. He called
attention to the fact that California
fruit and fruit grown on the irrigated
areas Is coming more and more into
competition with our cruit in the east
ern markets.

Small Capital for Poultry.

1t is an advantage with poultry keep
ing that the beginner can make his
capital: that Is. he can grow his capi-
tai il he will be patient, says Cole
mans Rural World. What Is meant
is that If one commences with fifty hens
he need not he compelled to buy more
stock Immediately. as he can prepare
one year for the next He may have
200 hens the second year. and have all
accommodations complete. The third
year he may have a flock OF 500. and
then increase every year. SO that in
five years his farm may contain 1000
hens. 1t will extend the period over
five years, hence as the beginning is
with q few. the capital will be small.
and, as he adds to the number OF his
hens, he at the same time cnlarges his
capital. Now. that is a point In favor
Of the poultry business-this gradCa!
enlargement Of the capital which makes
it SO attractive to many. and which also
makes the business possible to those
who cannot derive as large profit in
proportion to capital invested in any
other pursuit. But the great difficulty
is the fact that nearly all who turn
their attention to poultry are unwilling
to wait five years. They are not in
c!ined to build up business. but en-
dcavor 10 get into it the first year. with
q proof from limited capital and no ex-
perience. the result being that the list
of failures is long one. The one who
begins with a few and increases his
flock gains experience as he travels
alcng the road Of progress. and. while
increasing his capital through the nat
ural increase of his flocks, is adding
to his experience and becoming more
capable of accomplishing the objects
sought. The capacity OF the plant is
made the greater by the production O!
the flocks. the eggs and poultry sold
being the sources of income. 1t may
be a hardship to support a family while
getting we'll into the business. but the
sacrifices made will be well repaid
later. While building up a business,
the selection of good layers from pure
breeds and the escaping of disease will
also assist in insuring success.

convince the consumers in England of
this fact. The trouble is that our home
market in reality is the best. and for
that reason 1t may lie years before we
