E'Ormald In MILK

Formaldehyde, the drug which the
Michigan chemists under Commission
err GrOsyenOr claim to have found in
so many samples of milk, is practical
ly & new drug, and its properties are
known to but few outside the medical
profession, says the Detroit News. The
chemical formula for formaldehyde is
G He 0. This means one part car
bon, two parts hydrogen and one part
oxygen. The deleterious effect of
formaldehyde is that in addition to be-
ing 4 gerGicide it is a strong irritant
of the mucous membrane of the stOm-
ach. Such an irritant in the milk taken
by child suffering from any stomach
trouble would be apt to result serious
ly. Formaldehyde has been used
Independently to a considerable eX-
tent, but of late years this has been
discontinued owing to its irritating eff
fcctS
Formaldehyde prevents milk from
souring owing to its preservative quail
tiles in killing the germs in the milk.
1t is used in preserving all kinds of
flesh, fruits, ETC., and is used for en-
Dalming and by taXidermists for pre-
serving specimens. 1t kills the germs
which cause decay and prevents the
breaking down of the tissues. 1t is
also one of the strongest disinfectants
known.

Grading Tn.

We believe in pure stock OF all Spe
cics, says The American Cultivator.
but as not every one is prepared to in
vest in such stock we would encOura &c
the Improvement Of common stock by
a systematic grading up by the use of
pure bred males, always keeping to
the same breed for that purpose. There
is more need of this with cattle and
sheep, that seldom do much better than
to double their number each year, OF
which not more than One-half are like
Iy to be females desirable to breed from
to improve the breed, as there are
likely always to be some not perfect.
With swine one can increase his stock
so rapidly that a single pair Of pure
bred animals will soon give him a
herd, although many think that the
half or thrCe-QUartcr grades are quite
as vigorous, grow and fatten as well,
and the sows arc more prolific than the
pure breeds. Whether this is true or
not we think it would be wise for our
agricultural societies to encourage the
grading up of common stock by the use
of pure bred males by liberal premiums
en- such stock, at least when shown in
fiocks and herds of females. if not as
single individuals. The number shows
that definite system of Improvement
has been followed. while single in
dividual may ,.e but a chance result.
Some societies, do this now, while 9th
ers refuse 10 recognize the grade at
all, no matter how meritoriOTs its per-
tOrmancCS.

FALL CALVES.
4 Question Of Profit In COnnectlo


Now that the calf is once more COM
ing iitc prominence as an important
factor in farm operations in the dairy
districts, the question as to whether
the calf should come in the fall or in
Che spring will be revived with new
interest, says the Jersey Hustler. In 4
state of nature cows drop their calves
n the spring about the time grass
tonnes, and where cows are kept in
large numbers and solely for calf pro-
>lactiOn this is the most profitable way.
Enc dairy COW, however, is an artificial
product. She produces from two to
t.irce times as much milk as the ranch
cow requires for the support Of her
calf, and it is important that her habit
of producing calves in the spring Of
the year should be broken up and that
the calf should come at the time when
if brings the best profit. Apart from
the advantage of having fresh COWS in
the winter there are some good reasons
why the calf should come in the fall
Under any circumstances it has to be
grown mainly on skimmilk. supple
mented with faXseed jelly and corn
The spring calf makes comparatively
little use of pasture the first year. none
to speak of before September, and the
skimmilk and cornmCal which it con-
sumes are worth little more in the fall
than in the spring. The fall calf, fed
as above suggested, learns to eat hay
in the latter months of the winter. and
the difference between the value of the
hay and the value Of the grass is about
the difference there is between the cost
Of the fall calf and the spring. When
both are turned Out to pasture the next
year. the fall calf can make as good
use Of that grass as its brother six
months older ana sell for very little
less when both are turned into the feed
lot. the ono at IS or so months old and
the other at - or "a.
The question. therefore. as to wheth-
or the calf should como in the fall or in
the spring is to be determined by the
comparative profits of the summers or
winters market. The winters milk
costs more money, but it brings more.
1t costs more in feed, in shelter and
about the same in labor, and the rCla-
tive price of milk fed must determine
whether the calf shall come in the fall
or in the spring. AS farmers settle
down to dairying as Il business they
will more and more aim to make 1t an
all the year round business. and hence
have calves coming all the year round.

POULTRY YARD MANURE.
II Is of In cstinnbIc VaIEc to Any
Farmer Whc VIII Save and
Utilize 1t RatiOnalIy.

One of the hest and most available
NATURES is that which our poultry
supplies. First of all, it costs 10
ready money and is an article of value
to any farmer who will utilize it.
How to save. mix and use this manure
has been study with scores of farm
ers during the past few years. In
nearly every farmers yard are to be
seen from 100 to 200 fowls, and often
they have no proper shelter, and the
drOppingS are lost. Often no thought
is given to gathering the manure for
fertilizing purposes, and in the spring
The owner will pay from 500 to $7j
per ton for guano, while the poultry
manure that goes to waste on his
own farm is almost equally rich in
plant food and even better than some
brands of so-called pure" guano.
Poultry manure has the most value
when kept in the dry; its value is
largely dependent upon the kind OF
food which the fowls deposit. As
Il rule the poultry is given richer food
than any other farm stock. Wheat
rye, corn, also scraps from the table
add to their fare; hence their drop
pings must possess considerable fer
tilizing value. We keep the poultry
together in the hennery as much as
possible. The floor is kept dry, be-
ing covered weekly with ashes OBJ
tanned at Il planning mill at a cost of
Is cents per bushel. Regular every
week it is removed and stored in a
dry place, shoNeled over and enough
absorbent added to keep from heat
ing. 1t is astonishing how much ac
cumulates. If we wish to drill the
manure it is sifted; otherwise it is APP
Piled from the wagon directly. II
farmers who keep poultry and let the
manure go to waste would try this
plan they would save enough the first
year in fertilizer bills to build poul

HOW DAIRYlNG PAYS.
iIrny Ways In which the Industry
Is Good Y!::uG.

Is SoSN
First and foremost, dairyinc pays in
tas superior education and training it
brings to the mind CT the farmer. says
Hoard'S DairymAn. No other class CT
farmers meet as often in convention or
have as much literature devoted to
their interests and progress.
Second, it pays i'll its splendid promo
ton Of the fertility of the farm. Here
is the bank We draw on in every cnlcr-
Gcncy. SO many farmers in many sec
tons are living with starved minds
and Il starved soil. Go into any dairy
section and note the different appear
ance Of the farm buildings. the better
crops and the appearance of intclli-
g2ncc among the farmers. All these
results are the natural effect of the
business.
Third, it pays in it's forced training
of farmers in study CT cattle. The
man who has dairy of 20 to 10 COWS
can see before great while the con-
slant necessity for the exercise CT a
thorough, sound Judgment concerning
dairy cattle. lie will have to acquire
this judgment if he makes any profit
with cows. and in acquiring it he will
become Il broader man every way.
Fourth, it pays in larger and stead
Ter yearly cash revenue than is achiev
cd by almost any other branch of
farming. 1t keeps the man on the
farm. holds him down and makes him
attend to his business and consequent
ly makes Il business man OF him.
Let any man embark in dairying and
follow out the headings of the business,
and we will see that man grow in
wealth and intellect, his farm increase
in fertility.
There will I've Il growth of nice farm
buildings. and, last but not least. the
value of farms in the market is always
greatest in we'll developed dairy dis
| tricts.
Every farmer ought to understand
that there is the greatest of vitality in
the dairy business. Fer - years men
have been prOphesyi:lg thai it would
be ovcrdonc and bring ruin on those
who embarked in it.
Evidently it pays all around, for the
most prosperous farmers III the United
States and Canada are the dairy farm

Many dairyncn who grow calves are
accustomed to use Il little oil meal rs
an addition to tn" skimmill. to replace
the butter fat taken out i'll skimming
or separating milk. but in New Yea
land they supply the fat by using cod

two ounces day from the time they
begin using skimmilk for about so
days. when they think the calf no Ion

crude oil costs them - cents gallon,
and thcrn are 100 ounces in Il gallon. so
