There was nothing so near his heart as the foundation of a national university. This he again and again urged upon congress, leaving money in his will for it's endowment.

Butter Flavor.

The discoverer of the famous butter
culture germ for giving the June flavor
to butter, Professor II. W. Conn, has
been lately travelling in the dairy dis
tricts of northern Europe. He says that
the germ butter culture is extensively
used, especially in Denmark, where
dairying has reached very high scien-
titic development In his opinion the
excellence and great reputation of this
famous dairying region are owing to
the high grade of the average product,
The Danish butter may be relied upon
in English markets for uniform excel
lence. Although the best of it is perhaps
no better than the best butter from 9th
Ell countries, there is ON the other hand
very little that is below the standard of
excellence. Professor Conn does not re-
gard the use of the germ or bacterial
butter culture as necessary to high
grade flavor but says that our best
dairymen in this country attain just as
good results with the use of culture or
starter made from cream This Ameri-
can method is much cheaper, and the
only objection is the difficulty in secur-
ing uniform results.

striving For Purity.

A farmer in Manchester, Me-, who
has heretofore been known as fruit
grower, has now gone into the dairy
business. He has obtained herd of II
fine cows purchased land to increase his
hay crop up to 1876 tons year or more,
built new stables and bought separa
tor and other first class machinery and
dairy utensils. He has set his mind
upon producing gilt edged butter such
as will command 40 cents pound or
more. Finding that at the dairy conven-
ton in Portland this winter his butter
scored but "a points, being six points
off in flavor, he thought he had got
something to learn, but he learned few
things at the meeting, and the next
week took another sample to the New
Hampshire dairy meeting This scored
81 points by the same expert. He spent
considerable time with the expert judge
at Portland, noting defects of various
samples and learning the cause of
them, and it was the instruction which
he thus received which helped him to
gain the three points in flavor. He is
not satisfied yet, says the Boston Guilt
vator, and perhaps will not be until he
has gained the other three points in his
score OF become satisfied that no one
can make that almost impossible thing,
an article absolutely perfect The pains
that he has taken so far leads MS to hope
that he will continue to improve until
he reaches the highest standard and is
reasonably sure that he can do it every
time. He has shown that he deserves
success, and we hold him up an exam
pie for other butter makers to take pat
tern by. 1t is not the good machinery
that he has, nor even his carefully Sc
lected herd of cows, that will keep him
improving, but his desire to learn and
determination to practice the best meth
DDS. The cows and the machines are all
important, but one may have the best
of both and yet produce a poor article.

Sweet Brier and others never contract
ed the disease. though they were of the
thin necked, narrow chested sort that
cause our friends who write so volumi
nously about stamina, heart girth and
lung capacity SO much alarm The rec
ords show that the liability to contract
disease can be very closely measured by
the amount of tissue in the body The
germ of tuberculosis is liable to find
Judgment in any tissue of the body,
and. other things being equal, the more
tissue the greater the liability to con-
tract that or any other disease. 1t fol
lows therefore that with a spare COW,
having little flesh, there is less liability
to contract tuberculosis. We also find
that a spare COW will longer successful
" contend with the disease than is the
case with those having more substance
for the germ to feed upon.
OF all the cattle that were at the
Minnesota station in 1891 there is only
one left, and that is Champion s Sweet
Brier Ill She has given us calf every
year since she has been at the station,
is now in calf and doing most excellent
work in the dairy. She is apparently
in most excellent health and good for
several more years of work. Every
milking has been weighed and tested
since the day she arrived at the station,
and during the last six years every ra
tion has been weighed out to her and
the amount and kind of feed recorded.
Her average per cent was for 1892, 81;
1898. 5; 1894, 40 1895, 4.9S; 1896,
g.; 1897, $50. 1t is our aim to let her
do about as she pleases Some years
she seems disposed to do more work
than others, has better appetite and
gives more milk Unfortunately she got
into the habit of dropping bull calves
until last year. and this she gave us
two fine heifer calves, which we hope
to keep in the herd during their life
time

Condensed MILK.

The consumption of condensed milk is
certainly increasing at a tremendous
rate, and, we apprehend, will double in
the next two years if enough is made
TO meet the demand, says a prominent
dealer in such milk There are some
curious things about its manufacture,
however For instance Minnesota,
which raises a splendid quality of milk,
has not one condensing factory within
its borders, and at the same time the
Twin Cities handle enough to supply a
market for a very large factory The
same may be said of Wisconsin, and
even Ohio, with a large supply of milk,
cheap fuel and fine railroad facilities,
has no factory, yet enough plain con-
densed milk is shipped into the state
every summer to keep two medium
sized factories running to say nothing
of the immense amount of canned milk
sold there We believe that during
the next ten years plain condensed milk
will almost entirely supersede fresh
milk in all the cities where it can be
had There is one important point to
be considered regarding any kind of
condensed milk. and that is that there
is not case on record of any one hav
ing been injured by its use.

Good Cows.

There is considerable in cows pcs
sibility to give good quantity Of rich
milk says The Dairy World, but it is
easy to have that possibility ruined by
poor feed and care in bringing up the
developing. On the other hand, no
amount of feed and care will induce a
COW that naturally gives thin, poor milk
10 turn about and give milk that is rich
in solids. Good feed and good care will
help develop many cows that have been
neglected, but if there is any decided
Improvement it will be made with cows
that are born to be good, but have not
had the opportunity. To get the most
out Of any COW, good or bad, good feed
and care are necessary, but it is the
good COW that gives the best returns
when well fed and cared for.

DUAL PURPOSE COWS.
Professor Shaw Firmly CIings to the
ThreefOId Classification.

ThreefOId Classification.
In my book on 1.-THE Study of
Breeds l have adopted the threefold
classification, says Professor Shaw of
the University Of Minnesota, and / am
convinced that this view is the correct
one. 1t is one of those questions that
must be settled and in the not distant
future. The next decade will tell pretty
certainly whether Hoard is right and
Shaw is wrong or whether Shaw is
right and Hoard is wrong And so con-
fident do feel as to what the outcome
shall be that l am glad | am on record
with reference to this great question.
Let me state my creed once again,
that all possible misapprehension may
be removed:
First I believe in straight dairy
COW, and improved to the greatest ex-
tent to which improvement is possible
without sacrificing constitution and
stamina. Every man whose chief con
Germ is dairying should have this COW.
The dual purpose cow is not for him.
Second. i believe in straight beef
COW. The place for this COW is ON the
range and on the large pastoral farms,
where it is net practicable to milk
cows by hand. The beefmaking proper
ties of this COW should be improved to
the greatest extent possible without in
juring her breeding properties.
Third. Il believe in dual purpose
COW, that is to say, a COW that when in
milk will give goodly quantity of the
same, and that will fatten readily when
dry When this COW is properly mated
she will produce calf that will grow
readily into meat. The COW, though
goodly performer, in both directions,
will not give as much milk as the high
type dairy COW, nor will she produce
calves of the very highest type for beef
This COW should be kept on the arabic
farm, and by farmers who desire to sell
their cream and also to grow more or
less of beef from year to year.
Fourth i believe that this COW is
not necessarily a sport, that is to say a
product of spontaneous variation, but
that she can be produced with much
certainty in consonance with the recog-
nized laws of breeding.
Fifth. Il do not believe that it has
yet been satisfactorily demonstrated
that the average dairy COW, including
her progeny has made more money for
her owner than the dual purpose COW
has made for her owner, when the prog
eny is taken into the account.

DAIRY CONSTITUTIONS.
Facts Showing That Dairy Breeds
May Possess Hardness.

Professor L. L. Hacker of the Min
nesota experiment station states in
Hoard's Dairyman that so far as his
experience is concerned the highly bred
dairy COW is no more subject to disease
than the dual purpose types. A few
years ago, when the tuberculin test
was first applied to the cattle at this
station. says Professor Hacker, both
the dairy and the beef herds were in
charge of the writer, and when the first
test was made every animal in the beef
herd. save one, responded to the test,
notwithstanding the fact that three of
them were big chested Polled Anguses,
while of all the dairy animals only enc
was found tuberculous. and that one was

says Hoard's Dairyman. Success lies

man who uses care, intelligence and
watchfulness on a herd Of grades will
be more successful than one who neg
1ects herd of theron hbreds.
