Increasing the Profits.

The Meriden Creamery company of
Meriden, Kan, find that their patrons
who know how to feed get from $40 to
f55 income per year from each COW,
while the patrons who do not know how
to feed get from $1S to $25 per COW per
year, and that the net profits received
from each COW by their best patrons
are II times those received per cow by
their poorest, writes Mr. H. NJ. Cot
trell They also find that some of their
patrons get no profit whatever from the
skimmilk, while others who know how
to feed it get from % to 80 cents from
each 100 pounds of skimmilk fed. As
there are 5000 pounds of skimmilk
from each good cow yearly the way
it is handled makes a great difference
in the profits from dairying. The Meri-
den company believe that if their EN-
ployees are thoroughly instructed in
these lines of feeding they can help the
farmers who sell milk to the creamery
to largely increase the farmers profits
and at the same time increase the profits
of the creamery. For this reason the
stockholders of the Meriden company
have decided to send all their employ
aes to the Kansas dairy school at Man
haitian and require them while there to
make a special study of feeding dairy
COWS and of feeding skimmilk to calves
and hogs.

Lcavc It to the cows.

Not long ago farmer told us that he
thought it would have been money in
his pocket if he had begun to feed his
cattle at the barn week or two weeks
earlier, but the fields looked so green
that he thought there was enough good
feed there Probably if he had left the
question TO the cows and tested it by
offering them some good hay at night,
when they came up to be millled, they
would have let him know that the pas
ture was not rich enough in nutritive
qualities if it was sufficient in quantity
Frost bitten grass has but little value,
and we think the growth in the cold. wet
and usually cloudy weather of the
early spring and late fall is not as nu-
tritious as that which grows from June
to September, just as grass grown in a
dense shade is less valuable than that
which has the sunlight upon it, Begin
ming to add little hay ration to the
pasture feed for few weeks before the
cattle are confined TO the barn makes
the change is character of food more
gradual, and in this case at least and
in many Others it would have prevented
shrinkage of 80 pounds weight on
each animal, which it will take several
bushels of grain to put back again.
There were also some cold rains and
winds in October and November when
the cattle should have been in the barn

as donor of prizes and eminent royal
patron, well sustaining the example set
by his father, the prince consort as
founder of the Royal Agricultural So
oiety and leading improver of cattle
and other live stock. Their royal high
nesses lunohed with the council of the
Smithfield club. The queen won two
breed cups. three first prizes and two
second prizes. The champion prizes and
the centenary gold medal were awarded
TO Lord StrathmoIe for his Aberdeen
Angus heifer. declared to be the finest
animal in the show. This heifer also
gained the chief honors at the Birming-
ham cattle show. Baron Ferdinand de
Rothschild was elected president for
1900
just century ago, continues The
News, in the good old days of farming,
when American beef and Australian
mutton were not. when sheep stealing
was hanging matter and wheat was
low at 90 shillings quarter, q Derby
shire farmer named Wilkes had an idea.
Do not infer that farmers in general, or
lacked ideas. But the one which ema-
mated from the fertile brain of Mr..
Wilkes was an idea worthy of the cap
ital I-almost an inspiration. This men
tai acorn, if one may use the express
sion, was the seed whence sprang the
Smithfield Cattle and Sheep society.
The laudable aim of the society was
ito supply the cattle markets of Smith
field and elsewhere with the cheapest
and best meat. I" Mr.. Wilkes idea was
taken up with moderate enthusiasm,
and in the following year, 1899, the
first show was held in Dolphin yard,
Smithfeld. The society then counted
1I3 members. Their show consisted Of
two classes of cattle and two of sheep,
and the value Of the prize list was ex-
actly so guineas. The scheme of CLASH
fcation adopted was almost medieval
IN its simplicity. Beasts" fed on grass,
bay, turnips or cabbages competed in
one class; "beasts" fed on corn or cake
in the other; sheep (be pleased to note
that agricultural zoology recognizes
only one beast) fed ON grass, etc., com
peted together, and sheep fed ON corn.
Five years later the members roll had
increased by one, but the show was ex.
panded TO nine classes for beasts and
sheep, opened its arms to tie humble,
unimproved pig and offered gals 5s. in
prizes.
The era of real prosperity dawned
with the spread of railways. In 1862,
when the show was held for the first
time at Islington, there were so classes,
and over e2, 600 was offered in prizes,
