PROTEIN AND MILK.
that Is Required In Feeding Dairy
Cows.

Nhat Is Required In Feeding Dairy
Cows.
The scientists, says Hoard's Dairy
nan, tell us that it requires daily al
lowance of seven-tenths of a pound OF
protein for the simple maintenance Of
a 1000 pound animal. In 20 pounds Cf
milk there should be about eight
tenths of a pound Of casein, and hence,
without allowance for the inevitable
loss that must occur in changing the
protein Of the feed into the casein Of
the milk, we have a demand for one
and one-half pounds of digestible
protein. If the cow is expected to give
more milk, she must have more pro-
tein.
It is largely immaterial to the cow
where the protein comes from, provid-
ed she has the digestive capacity to
eliminate it from the feed. We can
find it in % pounds of clover hay, but
only half of it in the same amount of
timothy hay. One hundred and TWEEN
ty-five pounds of oat straw would fur
nish one and one-half pounds of di-
gestible protein, but it would take q
good deal Of other feed to enable the
COW to digest SO much straw.
We do not know any reason why
sofa beans, field peas and even alfalfa
could not be profitably produced in
New Hampshire. There is, in our
minds, more doubt as to crimson clo-
yer. This must be sown in the late
summer or early autumn, and it is
questionable whether it would survive
q New England winter. If it will and
is cut early, it will make excellent hay.
The danger with crimson clover lies in
letting the heads become ripe or near
ly SO. Too little is known of vetches,
at least by us, to justify the putting
forth of suggestions. Things of this
sort may very likely be tried in an ex-
perimental way for year or two and
thus their adaptability to the peculiar
local conditions determined.
The question as to which is the bet
ter cow for the farmer has attached
to it irrelevant conditions. The cow
whose milking qualities have been
properly developed, if Of good consti-
tuition and adapted to the conditions
for grazing, ETC., in the locality, is al
ways the better COW. There is no style
of breeding, bringing up or care that
will give us a cow that can transmute
carbohydrates into casein. AS we'll at
tempt to make sugar from salt. A bal
anced ration does not necessarily i'm
ply the use Of concentrated feeds, but
they are recommended because it is
difficult in any other way to supply the
cow with sufficient material to enable
her to utilize her milk celebrating or
gans to their normal and economical
capacity.

cOntending claims Of animals Of this
class, the judge is much more certain of
his ground than when attempting to
estimate the respective merits of dairy
animals. Of course we have made q
close study of form as related to func-
ton. We have deduced therefrOm
distinct type which we call dairy form.
We have even reduced this type to
scale OF measurements in the hope of
getting aid from mathematics, but
what man among us is there who will
venture to say how much milk or but
ter cow will make simply by looking
at her? What man is there who will
pretend accurately to estimate per-
Torrance by form? Can you tell how
far a frog will jump by looking at
him? Can you estimate the speed and
stamina of a horse in the show ring?
With all our standards in very truth
we work much in the dark when We
come to estimate the ability to render
a certain performance, such as milk
giving or running or trOtting, merely
by an examination of the form of the
animal. We can but guess at best. OF
course there are those cOcksure in
dividuals to whom a much VaSter wis
dom Gn their own estimation) has
been revealed than to the common
herd, and some of them have no diff
Guilty in persuading themselves that
they possess well nigh infallible pow
ers Of discernment, but the man who
milks and uses the tester knows that
he cannot know without the testimony
of the scales and the test tube.

South American Revolutions.

Whenever the South Americans de-

hoist a flag on a pole and march into
the main street Of the city. If the
crowd becomes too formidable to be
overcome by a military demonstration,
the administration capitulates, and the
outs take the place of the ms. 1t is

Experiments With Dairy Cows.

Professor Brandt Of Germany con-
Quoted three experiments with light
and heavy dairy COWS, each lasting
four weeks, the second commencing
70 days after the close of the first, and
the third year after the beginning Of
the first. Thirty of the heaviest milk
erS in the herd were separated into lots
Of five cows each. according to live
weight. The COWS were kept under
similar conditions to feed and care
during the trial, none being bred after
the beginning of the experiment. The
average weight of the heavy cows
was 1905 pounds and of light COWS 979
pounds. The leading conclusions from
the experiments are:
The milk of the small COWS is richer
in fat than that of the large ones.
Large COWS eat greater amount of
feed than small COWS; per 1000 pounds
live weight they eat less.
Small COWS produce less milk than
large COWS, absolutely and relatively.
When in thin flesh, small COWS may
produce more per 1000 pounds gross
weight than large COWS.
Large farrOW COWS are more per-
sistent mixers; on the other hand,
small cows show q greater tendency to
fatten on the same feed, with q de-
crease in the milk flow
The loss in selling ten of the large
COWS amounted to five guilden per
head on the average, after having been
kept nearly a year, while the loss for
ten small COWS was u guiIden per
head.-FeedS and Feeding.

JUDGING DAIRY CATTLE.
Numerous Difficulties In Decid-

The judging of dairy cattle is attend

and bloom are the points on which to
hang a decision. If the model beef
form is Appropriated, if breed type is
present, if quality is marked and bloom

outward manifestations fix the ami

When the boys read in the papers

Frank O'Brien, who when arrested
gave the name of Henry A. Neil, was
arraigned in the central district court
yesterday morning, charged with steal
ing clock from the office of DR.. w. j.
Delehanty, and with drunkenness.
O'Brien denied stealing the time
piece, saying that he bought it from
another man for so cents and a drink
of whiskey. The court thought diff
ferently, however, and O'Brien was
sentenced to the house of correction
for six months, on each charge. The
clock, which has been stolen four
times within year or so, was returned
to its owner.
Thomas Cosgrove was charged with
obstructing the sidewalk and ASSAULT
ing an officer. The young man was
recently released from the reformatory
on probation, and but for a touching
plea on the part of his mother would
probably have been sent back. He was
fined IS for obstructing the sidewalk,
while the assault was placed on file.
Frederick Alamo was charged with
assault with a dangerous weapon on
Fran DinunZio, a fellow countryman.
He was sentenced to the house of cor
rection for six months.
Frederick l.. Davenport. the Green
dale druggist, was charged with sell
ing cigarets to a minor. Edward
Snow, IA years old, said he purchased
cigarets from Davenport, saying that
they were for man in the shop where
he is employed. Davenport offered in
defense that he supposed the boy was
over 16 years old, the age required by
law. The court imposed a fine of $40.
Adyas Shooshanian was charged with
Illegal liquor keeping Officers of sta
ton l raided the house, 20 Arch street,
where Shooshanian resides, last Sun
day, and found quantity of ale. They
also found four men seated at a table
drinking.

veloped that the beer was for private
consumption of inmates Of the house,
and Shooshanian was discharged.
Joseph O'Brien was charged with
drunkenness and larceny from the
store of Hong Yung, 1876 Mechanic
street The evidence in the larceny
case was considered insufficient to con-
vict, and he was discharged on this
count and fined $40 for drunkenness.

MEAT INSPECTION.
Impression Grows Stronger That TWO
Inspectors Are Enough.

The more thought the members of
the finance committee and the execu-
tive of the city, Mayor Rufus B. Dodge,
Jr., give to the board of meat inspect
ors, the easier it is for them to be-
lieve that a reduction of the number
of inspectors from three to two will not
in any way affect the working ability
of the board, and will save the city
several hundred dollars annually.
The proposition which was suggest
ed to the finance committee by the
mayor when the expenses of that de-
partment were mentioned in the meet
ing of the committee, was to cut off the
head of one of the inspectors. Unless
the inspection of milk is given more
attention than has been the rule of late
years, the work could be removed from
any connection with the inspection of
meat and the two men appointed for
the latter purpose could devote their
entire time to the inspection of cattle
and meat.
One member of the board at present
inspects fully one-half the meat that
is killed in this city. Another does the
remainder and the third member rare
ly visits a slaughter house.
