tion l1lled 90 many Of them. There is a
good deal Of rank nonsense In this
theory that thunder kills eggs during
the Matching process. We donot believe
in it at all. For o good many years we
have been Matching chickens and other
poultry and have watched the process
pretty closely. During that time we
have never had any reason to think the
heaviest thunder ever killed a single
embryo chick. Last summer a neighbor
complained that all her chicks were
killed in the egg because at q stone
quarry half a mile away heavy charges
of dynamite were exploded in blasting
the rock, This blasting was Of the kind
that makes the windows rattle and was
kept up day after day for months. The
earth fairly shook at times, so great
was the conoussion, and we might have
believed the blasting had something to
do with the neighbor's bad luck had 1t
not been that our chicks, just the same
distance from the quarry, kept right on
Matching as il thunder and dynamite
were things unknown. If a thunderbolt
should strike a building in which hens
were sitting, it is likely that the con-
cussiOn might kill tho chicks, but not

jar, even if the eggs were on solid

GRADE COWS.
An Interesting Experiment at the Kansas
Agricultural College.

An Interesting Experiment at the Kansas
Agricultural College.
The Kansas Agricultural college has
taken up a new line Of experiment, says
the Boston Cultivator, and we shall
watch with much interest for the re-
suits. They have purchased herd Of
good average Kansas COWS, weighing
from 1000 to l,100 pounds, and not
particularly Of the dairy type as it is
understood, but such as many good
farmers in that state and others must
rely upon for their principal stock.
They will try to see if good food and
good care will enable them to produce
the dairy products at profit from such
COWS, and, If there is "a profit, to see how
it compares with the profit from cows Of
the true dairy type, animals from stock
bred for generations for dairy purpose.
This will constitute a valuable object
lesson for the students and for those
who read the bulletins Of their expert
mental work or the papers which re.
publish them. But to make the expert
ment complete they should take the
best Of these COWS and mate them with
good bulls Of dairy families, raise the
heifer calves with care and ascertain
how much better such grade stock may
be than the COWS il 10 bred from.
Not every farmer can Eestook his farm
by buying a new herd OF dairy COWS,
even if he is convinced that they will
pay a larger profit, but almost any one
can buy grade COWS, heifers or calves Of
dairy type and blood or can procure the
services Of q good bull to mate with his
best COWS and can raise a few calves.
The change can be made gradually
easier than it could be made all in one
year.
And yet farther investigation may be
needed. The best grade calves will not
always come from the best dairy cows.
The contest for supremacy or hereditary
influence between different bloods or
between the dairy type and the beef
type may be SO great as to make the
product Of mating Of very uncertain
character. A good bull may succeed in
implanting the character of the family
he is bred from upon the offspring Of
very inferior cow Of no particular breed
ing and utterly fail to do the same upon
the calf Of another and better cow that
is strongly marked with the character
Of some other blood or type Of animal.

PRIZE BRONZE TURKEY.

first, but the old mother does, and by
the time they are old enough to eat it
they will have learned how.
1t is very hard to get young turkeys
to change their habits Of eating. If you
commence feeding them in plate, it
Is hard to change to pan or on the
ground The same holds true Of the
diet whatever they learn to eat at
first is what they want until they are
grown. see cracked corn fed raw is
highly recommended for young turkeys
after they are a few weeks old. The
great trouble is in feeding too much. II
they are fed only q little while, when
very young, still not allowed to get
hungry, it will save much trouble. II
the feed could be scattered and the
turkeys allowed to hunt for it, it would
be much better for them.

Late Turnips.

Results Of some Canadian expert.
ments show that growth in turnips late
in the season proceeds rapidly as long
as the weather remains open and point
to the Importance Of allowing these
roots to remain in the ground as long
as is practicable, especially il the seed
has been sown late. On the other hand,
farmer who leaves a large area Of
roots in the ground to a very late date
is liable to be caught by severe frost,

been able to cure in all Its stages, and
that Is Catarrh. Halls CataFrh Cure is

Milk In Different Seasons.

The flush of young grass in the spring
time stimulates the production Of o
large quantity of comparatively poor
milk. The dried, brown pasture in the
hot weather of autumn causes shrink
ing Of the same, with corresponding
increase in the total solids--that is,
more particularly in the butter fat--and
no alteration in the feeding to counter
act these effects has q permanent ma-

Many dairymen are inclined to at
tribute to the separator good points
which it does not possess. A dairyman
recently made the remark to the writer
when it was mildly suggested that his
stables were not as clean as they might
be that all odors and filth which might
by accident get into the milk were re-
moved by the separator at the creamery
where the milk was sold! No one will
question the value Of the separator for
doing what it was intended to do-sep.
arate the butter fat from the milk--but
it surely was never intended to remove
filth. The dairyman who will deliber-
ately permit filthy COWS and stables to

Water For Gown.

A plentiful supply of water is mecca
sary for the proper production of milk
American experimenters state that the
amount Of water absorbed by a COW
does not influence materially the
quantity or quality Of the milk. am
bound to disagree with this, although l
have carried out no experiments on the
subject, for the reason that watery and
sloppy foods, such as grass, brewers
grains and roots, certainly do tend to the
production Of a larger quantity Of milk
with a corresponding decline in the to-
tai solids, more particularly in the but
ter fats. AT least l consider that this is
the most feasible explanation Of why
the total solids go down when watery
foods are given and also why the excess
Of water drunk in a hot summer has a
like effect.

Period OF LaCtatiOn.

Irrespective Of everything else, a COW
yields the largest quantity Of milk Of
the poorest quality some six or seven
weeks after calving, and as the quantity
goes down from advancing lactation
the quality or richness Of the same goes
up, the increase being more particularly
in the butter fat alone.

for falsifying cream, giving it q rich

is called "albuminoid" and is a mix

compound when added to cream makes
it thicker and apparently richer, and
also, owing to the bolio acid, makes it
keep longer. Fortunately both these
compounds are easily detected by the
chemist, and the dairyman who thinks
