An incident which occurred during

with the chief, called at his Office and
was received with unusual cordially.
Calling the correspondent by his first
name, the chief said: Look here,

Dairymen should not forget that the
discrimination between choice and or
binary grades of butter is becoming
more clearly and sharply defined each
year. 1t Is only the best that is always
in demand and will sell at good prices
when there is surplus Of the inferior
grades, that either are not wanted at
all or else must be sold at sacrifice
We can hardly expect that under these
circumstances this order of things will
be changed or improved upon. II is

A cow left alone and having room to
move about freely will usually take all
the exercise she needs and at the time
she needs it. All attempts of her owner
to force her to take exercise will prove
not only useless but injurious. Some
people have the idea that a cow that
has full stomach requires to be driy-
en- around to work off the surplus food.
That may be a partial remedy when
the COW Is bloated and lies down. She
is then full of gas. and some motion of
her body and limbs Is useful to allow
the gas TO escape. But in any ordi-
nary digestion. when an animal has n

I'VE know of patron whose aver
age test In May was l 6-10 to the 100, y
says Jensen's Dairyman, BelOit, Kan.
Upon investigation we found the
cause of this very low test. The patron
made practice of milking a portion
of each cows milk and then letting the
calf suck the rest. We here have an
actual fact, proving what previous ex-
periments have shown, that the first
milk from COW is very thin, getting
gradually richer. 1t has been found
that the first quart of milk MIXED
from cow tested eight-tenths, while
the last quart of milk secured tested II

that should be done by the most relia-

Sailing Cows In summer.

The best way TO salt cows is to leave
some rock salt under a covered place
where the stock can lick 1t at will.
They will then never get more than is
good for them. but will go up and lick
a small quantity once every day or
two. We know farmers who make IT
their practice to salt cows every Sun
day morning. 1t is not breaking the
Sabbath TO any serious extent. and the
owner of the stock has the pleasure of
noting its condition and whether there
are any animals in the lot that appear
unthrifty. We have often salted the
cows Sunday morning by throwing
fine salt thiniy over grass while it was
covered with morning dew. Some of
the salt might be lost. but we thought
from the way the grass was eaten that
not much would be wasted that way.
When we sailed sheep by throwing
salt on wet grass, they ate the grass

FADING OF BUTTER.
How the Genuine Article May Los
Its AftracffxemeAs.

How the Genuine Article MAY lose
Its Aftractiveness.
This is the season of the year when
butter fades in the market and loses
much of It's bright yellow. attractive
appearance, writes William Conway In
the Boston Cultivator. Merchants are
considerably bothered With this sud
den change In the butter, and II some
times causes them loss as well AS the
producer The cause of this loss OF
color is not always easily ascertained,
1t was supposed at one time that faded
butter was simply artiicially colored
butter. losing its coloring matter added
afM churning, but this is not necessa-
rily true. Some pure butter that has
been made without any artificial color
ing seems to bleach out almost the col
or of clean tallow. Naturally butter
thus bleached out does not sell We'll
The cause of this is partly due to the
poor handling of the butter. 1t IS nee
essary to keep all the butter at low
temperature In summer to make II
keep. but In transferring it from coil
storage to the store this temperature
is frequently changed quite violently.
The sudden change causes the butter
to undergo a chemical change in ex-
IRENE instances. 1t is not at all IN
likely that this causes the color to
change also and produce the bleached
out appearance. The greatest care IN
handling butter in hot weather is just
as urgent Oh the part of commission
merchants as the farmer. Without
doubt A good deal of the spoiled butter
that sells down at nominal prices is
due to the carelessness of the shippers
and city merchants. On the other
hand, this should not release the max
ers from responsibility. for much Of
the poor butter Is due TO sloveniy
methods of the farmer. Bleached out
or faded butter may be caused by the
lack of the proper incorporation Of the
salt in the mass. If the salt is not
thoroughly worked through every part
of the butter there will be some of 1t
that will become rancid. This rancidi-
ty In a very small part of the butter

change. A peculiar tallow or greasy
flavor develops, and the natural yell
low Of the butter fades to a pale, sick
ly hue that is very unprepossessing.
In extreme cases, where a high or sud
den change of temperature hastens the
process of degeneration, the butter
may become almost worthless on ac-
count of its appearance. The sale of
first class butter depends as much up
ON Its looks as upon its actual taste.
1t is consequently essential to guard
against anything that will make the
mass lose its color and bright. at
tractive appearance.

Experiments with Dairy Cows,

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
30 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 ,205 pounds and of light cows 97a
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 Il 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 a greater tendency to
fatten on the same feed, with a de
crease In the milk flow.
The loss In selling ten of the large
cows amounted to Ave guIIden per
head on the average, after having been
kept nearly year, while the loss for
ten small cows was L guilden per

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

What Is Required In Feeding Dairy
Cows.
The scientists. says Hoard's Dairy
man, tell us that 1t requires daily al
lowance of seven-tenths of a pound OF
protein for the simple maintenance of
a 1000 pound animal In 20 pounds of
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 caseln of
the milk, we have a demand for one
and one-half pounds of digestible
protein. If the cowas expected to give
more milk. she must have more pro-
tein.
1t is largely immaterial to the cow
where the protein comes from. provid
cd 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 d.
gestible protein but it would take j
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 proftably produced in
New Hampshire. There is. in our
minds, more doubt as to crimson clio
YER This must be sown In the late
summer or early autumn, and it is
questionable whether it would survive
New England winter. If it will and
is cut early, 1t 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 a 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
