+ California Butter Suuares.

Practically all the best creamery
butter putt sold on the Pacific coast is IN
squares of about pounds each. The
squares are blocks with square ends
ana rectangular sides. The butter is
packed on a table fitted with side
boards as high as the squares stand
when on end. The top surface is care
fully leveledz even with the table sides,
and the squares, a number at time,
are cut by wires. They are wrapped in
parchment paper and packed on end in
heavy wooden chests. This method of
handling butter is excellent in some
respects, but 1t is subject to criticism
on two important features: First,
there is now no uniformity in the
weights of the squares. One creamery
sends cases of sixty IN pound squares,
or los pounds, to Sacramento, and to
the same market another creamery al
SO sends cases holding sixty squares,
aggregating 101 pounds. This latter
creamery also sends to San Francisco
cases holding sixty squares of SO
pounds. It must be both confusing and
annoying to handle squares of such
varying weights, and no really good
reason for the practice was found
DOUBTLESS many people who purchase
butter do not notice the difference in
weights, but consider all squares alike,
and the seller who can shave off the
most without being suspected is the
gamer. Such competition is not only
dlscreditable but dishonest. The Sec
ond criticism of the method of market
ing butter relates to the packages.
Eastern dealers have learned that it
is more economical and satisfactory in
many ways to use cheap but neat boxes
for shipping, which do not have to be
returned, than to. use the heavy and
expensive trunks, or chests that were
SO common only few years ago. These
latter are continually being lost and
broken, cause annoyance at both ends
OF the line, and require much labor for
proper cleaning (and this is too often
neglected), while the cheaper packages
have not these bjections.-Bulletin

Yearly Records Necessary,

Prof. c. L. Beach, Of the Storrs Ex-
pertinent station, says:
The Indifference to, the Individual
quality of cows is we'll illustrated in
the market price of cows, Dealers
quote new mich COWS at from $50 to-
$50, according to the physical condition
of the cow, and the apparent quality
and quantity of her milk. Yet the diff
ference in the net yearly profit derived
from two COWS thus offered for sale
may be several times as great as the
difference in the first cost of the COWS.
The scale is common symbol of JUS
tice, yet few dairymen understand the
significance of it in relation to DEAL
ings between their cows and them
selves. The Babcock test is quite gen
orally used to determine the quality Of
milk offered for sale, but dairymen
make little use of it in determining
the value of their COWS as butter pro-
ducers. On the contrary the COW is
still judged by the good mess OF milk
which she may give, and the yellow
cream that it throws up without re-
gard to the fact that no accurate esti-
mate of the annual yield of milk can
be formed from an occasional weigh
ing or measuring Of the daily yield,
or that the color Of milk or cream is
not a sure criterion of its richness.
Unless some record OF actual weigh
ings is kept, even the man who milks
the COW cannot tell within a thousand
duced during the year; and unless
some test is made OF the composition
Of the milk, he can only guess at her
Yield Of butter. s h 5Ese,ss

Seventeen mountains in Alaska are
more than ten thousand feet above the
level Of the sea. One of them is
Mount st. Elias, which until the re-
cent survey was supposed to be the
highest peak in the country. It now
proves to be nearly half-mile lower
than Mount Mckinley, a hoary old
giant that towers more than twenty
thousand four hundred feet. Here is
a namesake at which the president can
point with pride. It is not quite the

There is at the present time great
Juror for the raising of Belgian hares,
and all over the country men are rush
ing into the business Now, we do not
wish to discourage the raisers of these
animals, but on the other hand we do
not wish to see the business so over
done that reaction will set in. Ac-
cording to present indications, great
many people are going to drop money
in the enterprises that are being
pushed forward on this line. In the
vicinity of Chicago, and even in the
city itself, a good many have taken up
the work. The trouble is that the
market is limited. A good many peo-
pie will not eat hares and are not like
ly to try to overcome their prejudices
when poultry and other meats may be-
had cheaply and in abundance. We
see that in some parts of the country
the business of raising these hares
has become so extensive that orchard
lists are becoming alarmed. Thus, in
San Diego county, California, the SUI
pervisors have passed an ordinance
making it unlawful for any person to
iberate Belgian hares. But, however
desirable this ordinance may be, it is
not at all likely that it will prove Of
any avail, for the reason that if man
should liberate any Of these animals it
would be impossible to prove the fact.
AS is we'll known, these animals are
fond Of the bark of young fruit trees
and grape vines. The fruit growers
have now to contend with >our COM
mon rabbits, mice and other rodents,
and are in no mood to add the Be- gan
hare to the host of enemies. 1t is said
that a single pair of Belgian hares, if
left alone. will increase to- over l,000,-
600 in ten years. This may be SO, but
the same is true of the rabbits that
now live in our woods, and is more
than true of our domestic fowls We
think there is less to fear from their
fecundity than from our poultrynan

Locating the Cape Worm,


H. Garman, in Bulletin 20 of the
Kentucky Experiment Station, thus re-
lates his experience with the cape
worms when the chicks were kept on
dirt floors and on board floors:
I find by experiment that it is DOS
slble to prevent the trouble completely
on my place at Lexington by keeping
chicks on a board floor from the time
they are Matched until they are large
enough to endure the attacks OF the
worms.
Chicks Matched by two hens June
OF, 1897, were taken from the nests
before they had an opportunity to get
to the ground, and confined in two
compartments Of the same coop. One
compartment was provided with a
board floor; in the other the chicks
were allowed the freedom of the
ground. There were twenty chicks in
all divided equally between the two
hens and confined in the two compart-
ments, which were separated by wire
netting. Immediately after the expert
ment was started three Of the lot on
the floor managed to get into the other
compartment and were allowed to re-
main. There were thus on the plank
floor seven chicks, while confined on
the ground beside them were thirteen.
One of the latter lot died from some
unknown trouble soon after they
Matched, leaving only twelve for ex-
pertinent -
The two lots were treated alike in
every respect except in the matter OF
the floor and in the character of food.
Those on the plank floor received the
accustomed food given young chicks,
namely, corn meal mixed with water
and scraps of bread, potato and meat
from the table. After they had grown
somewhat, a little oats was given
them occasionally. The chicks on the
ground received the same kind of food.
