HOW The DOMINION GOVERNMENT
HELPS IhE EARMeRS.

To show what the government Of
Canada has been and Is no~ doing TO
help the dairymen Of the Dominion TO
improve their condition, We will quote 4
few extracts from the address of Pro-
fessor Robertson ~ the Farmers Con-
gress.
ave have founded agencies to show
how TO do the best work. For instance,
there are 500 cheese factories in Que
district; we not Only issue a bulletin
on the subject, but We send y man, an
expert, 10 10 10 factory and talk sil

cheese-maker becomes converted, and
he, by his superior methods, breaches

I'VE went 10 the province Of Prince

Put up building costing 500 and
well loan you machinery costing $1,000.
Well send YOU an expert ehees. maker,
and make all your cheese for 2 IL cents

they said 1t Was impossible, because the

THE YfLloW SKIN AGAIN.

A few weeks ago In our Issue Of Nov.
| 2, We raised the question of the signifi.
canoe and consequent value Of the yel-
low skin, ETC., ~ found In some Of the
Jerseys aud Guernseys, and questioned
the popular estimate Of reliable associs-
ton with rich milk. In an object lesson
given by Prof. q. s. Plumb xt the
Indiana State Fair, with animals before
him for illustration, the speaker made
claims on this matter 40 follows:
The ears should be thin, golden In
side, containing wAxy yellow exuda-
ton, this is an evidence OF richness
ability to place large deposit of butter
Tat In the milk. Color Of skin bears the
same relation to this faculty. A COW
with such ears "a these are" turning
back the aural xppeudsges Of the two
Jerseys, II will confidently assert will
pat from 6 to per cent Of fat iu her

Now, then, what is correctf This is ap
important matter. Business dxirymen
are paying good money for yellow WAX
in cows ear. Are they buying richer
milk for its Certainly, dairymen who
have bred and handled cows for years
ought TO know something about it. Yel-
low skin, we know, indicates high color
ed milk; is it reliably associated with
mix specially rich 10 but er Fat, as Prof.
Plumb claims ss-Naine Farmer.

PURCHASING FEEDERS

Those who handle feeding cattle on
the market say that buyers are getting
more particular every year about the
quality Of stock they purchase. This
year they are extremely critical and
there Is consequently greater difference
than usual between really good and only
fair stock OF this kind. In the Pitts.
burg market, from which cattle are
shipped TO the feed lots Of Ohio and
Pennsylvania ~ well as to the stalls OF
Eastern Pennsylvania, good straight,
well-bred steers have not been any too
plentiful this fall, while common and
plain ones have been so numerous as To
suffer severe reductions Ia price. The
other day u prominent eastern dealer
who was asked ss TO the market for
good feeders replied, There are none
here" and added that his customers
we're demanding the right kind. The
feeders have apparently learned their
lesson AS TO quality better than the
breeders in the middle and eastern
states. The latter must fall into line
also, or sell their stock at unsatisfactory
hxures. They must follow the example
SET by the western breeder, aud grade up
their herds TO higher quality and great
er uniformity. Good blood and straight
breeding are the great needs Of the pco-
pie who raise cattle In the grazing terri
tory east OF the Mississippi river
