Flies in the Dairy.

With our advanced knowledge of
dairy and other bacteriology we are
now aware that this element forms
distinct menace to the purity of our
dairy products. DIR. Schultz, the emil
nent bacteriologist of Berlin, has sub
mitted thousands of flies to microscopic
examination, and his results and con-
illusions are simply surprising. The
6y's foot is shaped like the mouth of a
trumpet. The circular portion secures
grip on 6attened surface. The
vacuum being complete, seeing the
trumpet-shaped foot is hollow, firm
hold is thus secured, and fly can walk
up perpendicular pane of glass as
readily as it can travel over one lying
horizontal.
In the hollow of the trumpet-shaped
foot is space which forms a recepta-
Gle for bacterial life. The doctor found
microbes in the feet of about thirty
per cent of the flies caught in the coun-
try, and in the city about forty per cent.
In the hollow of one foot alone he dis
covered over hundred microbes. 1t
is known to all how flies will walk over
and revel in filth, dirt, dead flesh and
other vile matter. The foot retains the
Objectionable germ life which is the
cause of putrefaction. On getting into
the milk they convey to or inoculate il
with an hostile element which tends to
affect flavor and aroma detrimentally
We should zealously guard against this
evil, and freely recognize the import
ance of keeping the flies out of the
milk and cream.-New Zealand Dairy

Composition OF Corn Plant.

When the corn is ripe or nearly 80,
the dry matter which the crop contains
is found, about one-half in the ears,
less than third in the stalks, and one
fifth in the leaves. About one-half of
the total protein (fesh forming) con-
tent of the plant, 58 per cent of the
albuminoid nitrogen, SAT per cent OF
the nitrogen free extract and but IVA
of the ash elements are found in the
ears. In the case of sweet corn 25 per
cent of the total dry matter, 632 of the
protein and 60t per cent of the nitro
gen free extract were found in the ears.
OF sorghum the larger share of the
total weight in dry matter is found in
the stalks; but, on the other hand, 453
per cent of the protein is in the leaves,
little more than a third in the tops
and less than a fifth in the stalks.
These experiments go to show that in
harvesting either of these forage crops
attention should be given to the pre-
servation of the leaves and stalks, since
they contain 80 large proportion of
the nutritive ingredients. In 1897 it
was found that when the corn was
nearly ripe less than half the dry mat
IoI WAS III tho ohle, buo Otuol hhll pc-
ing about equally divided between the
stalks and leaves.
One way of preserving the fodder in
good shape for feeding is to put both
ears and fodder into the silo (Prof. G.
D. Smith, Bulletin 1874, Michigan ex-
pertinent station). AS to the stage of
ripeness at which the crop should be
cut, the results of the experiments car
ried on in 1895 and 1897 go to show
that the maximum yield of dry matter
and nutrients is obtained by allowing
the crop to mature until the ears are
we'll glazed. Between the time when
the kernals begin to glaze and full ripe
ness there is gain of over one-eighth
in dry matter, one.sixth in starch,
sugar and other carbohydrates and one
fifth in fat. The study of the losses in
the silo goes to show that there may be
danger of allowing the corn to stand
too long, especially in hot and dry
weather, making the silage too dry to
secure the proper fermentation. No
regular and consistent variation in ex-
tent of loss was noted which could be
related to the age of the corn when cut.
