Now is the time to renovase, by

houses and other quarters given over
to the fowls for the spring or summer.
This can be done by men folks on the
farm before the spring work begins,
and will be great help to the farm
wife. who generally has all the care
of the poultry along with the many
other wearisome and oftrepeated tasks
she has to perform. It will not only
be q help to the women folks but q
source of profit as we'll.

Milk Fever.

To the Farmers Review: My ex-
perience with milk fever has not been
very extensive. Some twenty years
ago was my first. l had a very fine
COW at that time known as the Roam
Shorthorn. 1t was in the month of
June about 5 o'clock in the evening
she gave birth to very fine calf, and
both seemed to be in excellent condi
ton. The next morning about sunrise
I went out to look after my fine cow,
and she was lying down. When went
before getting up on her feet, and l
cannot describe her actions any better
than that she staggered and reeled just
the same as man would when badly
intoxicated. She only went few rods,
laid down and never got up again. She
died about sunset the same day in the
greatest agony. This COW was in good
flesh, in fact too good, as that is the
most likely to take it. About six years
ago lost another one with the same
disease. Her actions were the same,
only she lived about two days instead
Of one. Since that time I have not
lost any. In the first place, endeavor
not to let my best milk cows get too
fat, as that is the kind most likely to
take the ailment. I think, too, that
COWS are only likely to have milk fever
in hot weather.
I have found as an almost certain
preventative in fever that at least one
month before calving put the COW on
dry feed, without grain, and diet at
the time of calving and several days
afterward, and you will be safe in
never having milk fever among your
cows. The cows giving the greatest
flow of milk are the only ones subject
to milk fever A poor milk COW never
has it. I have no cure for the milk
fever, neither do 1 have any faith in
any one else curing its. G. Judy, Ver-
.:lilion County, Illinois.

passing Of the bicycle have tended.

passing of the bicycle have tended,
however, to produce the satisfactory
results for the horse people. Tennes-
see roadsters and saddlers of the fancy
kind are readily purchased in New
York. while many buyers from the
lower Southern States have been in
Tennessee making purchases. Some
Tennessee horses too have been
bought up by British agents for the
cavalry service in South Africa. Many
good horses have gone there, the buy
ers taking only such stock as suited
the cavalry arm of the service. good
individuals, rather small and with
plenty Of endurance. West Tennessee,
it is said, has been able to furnish
just such horses as these. The ship
ments of mules from the Southwest
to scenes of war has in a measure
created demand for the scrub stock
also, many of which class have gone
into the Delta on the plantations to
replace the mules which are not to
be had. This has taken the price of
even these animals up from $25 and
$35 to $40 and $50. Stock men are
breeding more than they have in a
number of years in consequence of the
universal good time conditions. The
deficit in young mules in the State on
account of the war demand is pro-
nounced very great and as result the
price is higher than it has been in tif-
teen years. Stockmen say that the
trouble just now with horses in Ten
nessee is the lack of good brood
mares. These are very scarce and there
is no place from which to draw sup
ply. Kentucky horse men also being
on the lookout for good individuals of
this class, and many having come into
this state in search of them.

Discussion on milk and Cream.

Discussion on MIX and Cream.
Condensed from Farmers Review
seenoeraphic Report.)
At the last Wisconsin Roundup In
stitute the following discussion took
place:
Prof. Smith-The fact is that there
Is no animal odor in milk when 1t
comes from the COW. It is put in by
the mixer. We have MIXED COWS and
set the milk at once, and when it was
opened after twenty-four hours there
was no odor about it. 1t can set for at
least ten days and still have no odor.
Mr.. Goodrich cannot agree with
Prof. Smith in his conclusion that
there is no animal odor in milk in it's
pure state as it comes from the COW.
A short time ago l heard another pro-
lessor talk on this subject. He said
that there are in the body of every ami
NAL certain eliminating organs whose
work is to eliminate certain gases,
and that the udder has some of these
organs, which eliminate these gases
from the body and pass them into the
milk.
Prot. Farrington-I think there is
difference between aerated and I'M
aerated milk that we do not UNDER
stand.
Q.-Does aerating milk improve 1t
for cheese making and butter making?
Prof. rington-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Noyes-Yes, sir.
Mr.. Goodrich-Why doesn't that set
tie 1t, then, that cheese factories and
creameries should require patrons to
aerate the milk?
Q.-Does not aerated milk give
better test and more accurate test?
Prof. Farrington-Yes, sir; I think
that we would get a better test unless
the person that makes the test is care
ful to thoroughly mix the milk before
taking the sample
Q.-What is the cause of cream but
tering in the process of being made
into ice cream? I supply cream to an
Ice cream maker in the city, and have
had it butter when it tested ~ per cent
fat.
Prof. Farrington-There are two
things, either of which may cause it;
one is the temperature and the other is
the thickness of the cream. Besides
that, the cream may be exposed to ex-
cess1ve Earring in transportation.
Mr.. Lomar-I have been supplying
cream to restaurant for three years,
and think that the trouble with Mr..
Taylor's cream Is due to the man that
makes the ice cream. The tempera-
ture of the cream is too high at the
time it is put into the freezer, and the
freezer was run too fast. The beating
of the cream produced butter before it
got down to the freezing point.

Pasturing Cows.

To the Farmers Review: I have
fine pasture Of about sixty acres. 1t
borders on a small lake containing
good, pure water and having a sandy
shore. Thirty acres is in timothy,
the rest is low marsh land which pro-
duces good pasture in dry time, such
as we have had during May and June.
After harvest the cows are turned into
the grain fields, where they feed until
fall. l always yard my COWS at night.
I think it is better than turning into
the pasture.-J. H. Stauffer, Kandiyohj
County, Minnesota.
The milk inspection laws in the diff
ferent states are gradually getting into
active operation. It is time. The con-
ditions in the large cities where there
have been no inspection laws are very
bad. Even in New York the enforce
ment of the laws has been 80 slack that
the milkmen had fallen into the habit
of thinking they could do as they
pleased. But recently the inspectors
renewed their activity and a good
many milkmen were caught with badly
adulterated milk. 1t is encouraging,
however, to note that the majority had
milk that came up to the standard re-
CURED by the city laws. One morning
eight inspectors rounded up all the
milk that came in over the Erie Rail-
road. Some of the dealers evidently
knew their milk to be adulterated, as
they tried to drive away before the
inspectors could stop them. But they
ran into the arms of policemen that
had been stationed near by for that
purpose. In every case where the
men tried to drive away their milk was
found to be adulterated, which is proof
that they knew what kind of stuff they
were handling. 1t is reported that as
soon as the milkmen got news of the
inspection they stopped considerable
quantities Of milk that had not been
brought across from Jersey City, as
that was outside of the jurisdiction of
the New York inspectors It is be-
lieved that the authorizations in New
York have been worse since the begin
ming of the present drouth. the milk
men trying to Offset short supplies by
adding water. The inspections may
therefore be expected to be very close
from now on, and also New York city
will find itself decidedly short in its
milk supply.
