Convention.) -
G. F. Goodrich read q paper on
breeding a dairy herd. He told Of his
attempts to get good cows by buying,
but finally had to go to breeding and
developing his own cows. He had OBJ
tanned very good results from feeding
grain to his cows when on pasture.
The yield one year went up to 800
pounds per COW, although there were q
number Of two and three year old heif-
ers in the herd. He also feeds silase.
Q.-Was your improvement in the
herd due to breeding or fseding1
Mr.. Goodrich think that It was
due to both.
Q.-What feed do you give when
Seur cows are on good grass!

No Dairy Education In California.

No Dairy Education In California.
Bulletin "a. of the Department d
Agriculture, treating Of dairy educa-
ton in California says:
In striking contrast with CALIFORNIA;
characteristic energy in advancing the
interests of many Of her industries in
every possible way, the one method
of promoting dairying, which In other
states is considered Of the greatest i'm
poftance. has thus far been neglected:
The state is doing nothing In the line
of special dairy instruction, and her
dairy interests are suffering in conse.
quence. The reason may be that this
branch Of agriculture has not until
recently become one of the important
industries Of the state. and those hav-
Ing power to assist in its promotion
have not yet realized its great posi-
bilities. Efforts to establish a state
dairy school have been made, but
without success. It was a subject of
discussion at the dairymen's conven-
ton. and its friends will continue to
agitate 1t, hoping that a school will
be opened in the near future. The
necessity for such a school is readily
seen. In the past few years there
have been many improvements and
changes in dairy operations, and the
improvements and changes still con-
tlnue. Butter and cheese makers who
o follow comparatively recent but
really cut-of-date methods are work
ing at a great disadvantage. New
forms OF machinery are constantly be-
ing introduced, methods of manufac-
ture are being perfected, market re-
duirements are becoming more strict.
and competition is growing more keen.
Special instruction in dairying is Of
fered at more or less well-equipped
schools in t~hirty-one states. California
is the only one in which the industry
is at all prominent that is not on the
list. The need Of a dairy school in
California is very apparent. The an
nual reports of the state board of
trade show the Importance Of the
dairy industry as compared to others.
The value OF California dairy products
is equal to two-thirds the value of her
gold output, and far exceeds the value
OF any other mineral product. The
dairy products are worth almost half
as much as the wheat crop and about
halt as much as the combined crops of
all kinds Of fruit. The receipts from
sales OF butter, cheese, cream, and milk
amount to nearly double the annual
expenditures for the support of the
public schools. According to the last
censu California ranks in dairying with
other states as follows: Seventeenth
in total number of cows; seventeenth
In total butter product; ninth in total
cheese product. Yet thirty-one states
are ahead of her in encouraging and
promoting dairying by Offering spe-
cial dairy instruction. It is seer that
the dairy interests of many OF them
are smaller than those of California,
both in toto and in comparison with
other industries.

Kind of Horses Wanted in England.
The United States government has
been trying to find out the kind Of
horses the English desire, with the
following results:
In London the tramways, bus COM
panies, jobmasters and owners OF light
delivery wagons are large purchasers
Of American horses. Horses for their
use must be from Is 1-S to 16 hands
high, weigh from 1000 to 1850 pounds,
be compactly built, with plenty of
bone and muscle and good action, and
average from S to z years of age.
They should measure from rs to Is
inches in girth, and. from 81 to 9k
inches around the leg just below the
knee. Such horses will sell from $40
to S1S5, and sometimes as high as
5000. Large bus horses for suburban
work, S to 8 years old, 16 hands high,
weighing 1900 to 100 pounds, with
a girth of SO inches, bring from s1S5
to 1925, and exceptional native horses
sell as high as $500. The "trotting
vanner," a synonym for useful light
delivery wagon horse, Is to 161k hands,
7S-inch at girth>a and ~ inches around
the leg just below the knee, sells for
SIPS to $3.50. Carriage horses, 80 inches
at girth and az inches around the leg
just below the knee, with good knee
action and well bred, will, il we'll
matched, bring from $3.50 to $500 per
pair. For heavy draft horses the de-
mand is always brisk, and Clydesdale
and Shire horses are reported in de-
mand. Solid. stocky, Highland, 1,75O-
pound horses, free from blemish, S
to Z years old, 10 to 10h inches around
the leg just below the knee, and 50 to
100 inches girth, bring from $3.50 to
1915. Misf1ts, scrubs and badly broken
horses will not do; but a young, good,
sound, well-broken horse with plenty
Of bone and muscle, compactly built.
Of almost any recognized class or type
will sell well in the London market.

Animal Husbandry In Tennessee.

The cost of feeding the dairy COW or
the beef animal in Tennessee will vary
from 10 to 20 cents per day. In one
cas- we may expect two to three gal
Ions of milk, worth 20 to rs cents a
gallon, and one and a half to two
pounds of butter, worth 20 to rs cents
a pound: while in the other, from one
and a half to two and a half pounds of
beef will be an approximate gain.
These figures should sufice to CON
vince us of the money in these indus
tries. A suitable ration for B dairy
COW would be 80 pounds of silage, 10
pounds of cowpea or clover hay, 8
pounds Of corn meal, 2 pounds Of cot
ton seed meal, and S pounds Of bran.
For young growing stock, we may
use silage, 20 to 30 pounds; cowpea or
clover hay, 10 pounds. cotton seed
meal, / pound: bran. 1 pound; corn
meal. 2 pounds. Or II the farmer has
oats, these may be substituted for
cotton seed meal. It may be necessary
to increase the meal ration to six
pounds, depending on the amount Of
growth or fat .desired and the age Of
the animal. Where .silage can not be
had, shredded corn fodder may be SUBJ
stituted.
For beef production the following RAJ
ton will answer when the animals are
to be put on the market within four
months, and where winter feeding 10

TrichlnosiS.

The parasite that causes this disease
the flesh of several animals. especially
the hog. From the hog it is sometimes
transferred to man, causing severe
sickness and not infrequently death.
Trichina is found in pork both in
America and Europe, and It's presence
has been made a prstext by which,
some foreign nations keep out Ameri-
can pork. Most Of the pork inspection
at the Union Stock Yards. Chicago, is
due to the prominence of this Ques-
ton in the European mind. However,
German pork is as much infested with
trichina as our own. and 1t is believed
a little more so.
Trichina inhabits the bodies of ami
mails at all stages of its existence, and
where swine are entirely unable to
get anything but vegetable diet the
danger that they will become infested
with trichina Is small. For this reason
it is not safe to permit swine to feed
on the offal of slaughter houses, car
rion, rats, mice and the like. Hogs
~ e OCCOl4C d uCAdC " S14C ACdALA
Of the eaters of the pork they produce
The trichina is very small, and lives
in minute crysts in the muscles. When
these cysts are eaten by hogs the
juices of the stomach set loose the
imprisoned trichinae which escape Into
the intestines where they pair and
the females bring forth a numerous
brood Of larvae, which find their way
to the muscles, where they in turn be-
come encysted. The hog himself does
not appear to suffer from the presence
of these parasites, and they can there
fore be discovered only by a micro
scopic examination of the pork. 1t is
said that no remedy has been discov-
cred that will destroy the trichinae
after they have become encysted in the
muscles. When pork infested with
trichinae is eaten by man the thou
sands Of cysts are operated OF by the
juices Of his stomach. The parasites
are let loose and proceed to his in
testines where they pair and breed.
Their progeny begin a march through
the walls OF his intestines to his
muscles, and induce symptoms similar
to typhoid fever. If the man can en-
lure the horrible pain of the migration
Of the parasites from his intestines TO
his muscles he will live. The trichinae
will form cysts there and give no fur
ther trouble, but will remain with him
through the rest of his life.

Poultry Notea.

$1,000
The man that wants to raise broil-
ers for market must be laying his
plans as early as this, for he wants
to I'LL and start his ~incubators in the
fall, at a time Of year when It IL most
didicult to get fresh eggs. Consequent
~ at this time Of year he must be
pushing the growth Of his best chicks
SO they will begin to lay by October.
Meat meal should be fed az extensive-
~ as possible to get the development.
Wherever well-developed chicks can be
bought at a reasonable figure it should
be done. Here and there may be
gathered up the chicks that were
Matched in March and April, and II
they have been we'll started their ma
turity may be reached by early fall.
Some poultrymen express the belief
that there is more money in geese than
in any other class of farm poultry.
They consider that the risk of loss
with geese is smaller than with ducks,
turkeys or chickens. It is claimed

grass than the duck and can be there
fore raised at Less expense. Goslings
grow very rapidly and when fattened
usually bring better prices per pound
than ducks. One poultry raiser asserts
that old geese are the hardest and
least liable to sickness of any Of u
feathered stock. For shelter almost
anything will do except In the coolest
weather in the more northern part of
the country. In the winter their web
bed feet act as snow-shoes and they
are not therefore frightened at the
snow. Add to this the fact that geese
produce eggs at profit when quite old
and we see that much is said in her
favor.
Not every amateur can successfully
raise broilers for market. 1t Is the
work of the specialist. Unless one
thoroughly understands the business
he is not likely to make a success Of
it. One should not embark any large
amount of capital in it without con-
siderable experience on the part of the
man that is to control the enterprise.
The best way for a nan to get this
preparation Is for him to have had
eight or ten years experience with
poultry generally. Then he should
each year raise for the market as
many broilers as possible. In produce
ing eggs we can depend to a consid-
cradle extent on natural conditions.
But in the cas of broilers artificial
means must be employed, which means
that new elements are introduced and
new experiences are required.
