A Fla mily Horse.

Prof Eugene Davenport says: IL a
man wants a job not as easy as he
may imagine in advance, let him go
upon the streets of any town and try
to buy a first-class family horse. He
will find scores of them that owners
or agents will swear by as being the
best family horse ever wrapped in
hide; but buy him, take home and try
him, and in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred he will prove to be wrong in
some vital respect. Nothing but con-
slant family use, with the most kindly
and careful treatment, will ever make
a family horse in the true acceptation
of the term. A family horse must be
not less than seven to eight years old,
with several years of proper expe-
rience, possession of his entire conf
dence, and good, sensible brain to
star. with. When any individual
recommends family horse as being
absolutely reliable when 1t Is less than
seven years old, take the statement
with a grain OF salt and save your
family from accidents and possibly
death. A perfect family horse is
cheaper at $500 than an unsafe one as
a gift. 1t is always a safe proposition
in buying a family horse to test him
for week, to be driven by a we'll
posted. strong man, to save accidensS.

Tubercu,os,, I, Dairy Cattle.

A report of the Illinois Board of Live
Stock Commissioners says: The ex-
perience gained through the Tuber-
culin tests made in dairy herds by the
Board since the efficiency and accur-
acy of tuberculin as diagnostic agent
has become established, points very
clearly to the fact that throughout the
dairy districts of the State tuberculosis
prevails among the dairy cattle to a
considerable extent While in many
herds only a few cases have been dis
closed, in a large number OF herds
considerable PERCENTAGE has been
found affected, and there has been in
many of these herds very conclusive
evidence OF the development and
spread of the disease among cattle
through contagion. Whenever the dis
is constant danger of its spreading to
other members, thus causing, in the
course of time, great pecuniary loss,
and no cure ever having been dis
covered for the disease, the only means
of effectively graduating it from the
herd is through the destruction OF the
affected animals. Owing to the ina
bility of the best qualified inspectors
to discover the existence OF the disease
in its earlier or incipient stages in any
animal by a physical ante-mortem ex-
animation. it follows that the only
means of discovering all of the animals
in herd that are affected is relia-
BILE diagnostic agent, which Prof. Koch
has given the world in tuberculin. Ex-
Fermentation during several years
with this agent has demonstrated that
it is very nearly an infallible test OF
the presence of tuberculosis in the in
ternal organs Of an animal when there
are no clinical manifestations of the
disease, and the Board has used tuber-
culin in conducting tests to discover IL
herds are affected, with most satisfac-
tory results.

1. In the first trial. corn and oats
gave larger gain than peas and oats.
2. In the second trial, peas alone
gave the largest gain, followed by the
mixture, corn and peas.
3. The second trial is more satisfac
tory than the first, because 1t covered
longer period of time, and because,
from the method Of feeding. more di-
rect comparison Of corn and peas was
obtained 1t is a suggestive fact, also,
that the gain made by the group on
corn and peas is intermediate between
the gains made by the other two
groups, as 1t affords additional evil
dence regarding the superiority OF peas
over corn.
4. During the second trial, ground
corn could be bought for SIT per ton.
while peas cost from 60c to &C per
bushel AS a result, though the peas
gave the largest gain, the corn gave
the cheapest gain.
5. According TO the results OF the
second trial, If pea meal is valued at
$40 per ton, ground corn would be
worth s17.35 per ton.

compare the relative exports of cheese
from Canada and the United States.
In 1864 Canada exported none: in 1870
Canadian exports of cheese were near
ly six million pounds. The United
States exports In 1870 were nearly six
ty million pounds. In 1880 Canada
had increased ner exports to about 40
million pounds, but the United States
had increased theirs to 127la million
cheese exports have increased, while
those from the United States have
steadily decreased In 1890 American
exports had dropped to So million
pounds; in 1895 to 60 million and 1898
to As million pounds. Canada in 1898
exported $50 million pounds.
There are doubtless TWO main causes
of this decrease in exports of United
States cheese viz: A rapidly increas-
ing home population which consumed
large quantities of cheese, and laxity
of laws relating to the manufacture
and sale of skim" and filled" cheese.
These two classes of cheese have pref
ldiced the British consumer against
American goods and has been favor
able for the introduction OF full
cream" cheese from Canada. In Can
ada no skim" or filled cheese is al
lowed to be made or sold.
The number OF factories has in
creased from none in "a to about 5000
in 1900.
This rapid growth is due, in addi-
ton to causes mentioned to:
/. The fostering care of Provincial
and Dominion Governments.
g. The good work done by the vari-
Gus dairy associations in appointing
inspectors and instructors, and in
spreading dairy knowledge among the
people.
8. The work of the dairy schools In
| training cheesemakers to take charge
of the factories.
A. An improvement in buildings and
equipment, though there is still room
for improvement in this direction.
s. The growth is due to the fact
that the cheese industry has paid. Like
| Americans, Canadians are not fond OF
| a calling which does not pay them
| While there have been years in which
| the business was not profitable, yet, on
the whole, cheese has paid as well as
any branch OF agriculture during the
past 35 years.
There is still room for Improvement
in the class of cows kept on Canadian
farms, in the care of the milk, in meth
DDS of making and curing the cheese
also in marketing the cheese and di-
viding profits among all classes con-
cerned. At present there is not true
cooperation, but each class endeavors
| to get all out OF the business which is
possible for them, regardless Of conse-
quences to the others. A more hearty
cooperation, together with less sell
fishness would promote the growth OF
the cheese industry in Canada.

Prof H. H. Dean, of Guelph. Can
ada, in an address before the Vermont
dairymen's Association, said:
The cheese industry of Canada is a
result Of the favorable natural condi-
tions, and a reflection of the genius
and tastes of Canadian people. The
mother country was contemptuously
referred to at one time by a noted per-
sonage, las a nation of shopkeepers. F"
Canadians have no objections to being
known as a nation of cheese-makers.
The great lakes and inland rivers and
streams, together with fertile soil
in most parts, make almost ideal con-
ditions for manufacturing Cheddar
cheese. The descendants OF Scotch,
English, German, Dutch and French
settlers, together with a good sprink
ling Of New Englanders, have inherit
ed the tastes and aptitudes of their
forefathers for making fine cheese. The
countries from which Canadians have
sprung are among the most noted
in the world, and their
sons would be casting discredit upon
their ancestry did they not make good
the traditions of their fathers.
In 1864 the system of cooperative
cheese-making was introduced to Can
ada from the State of New York At
that time we were importing cheese
for home consumption. At present we
export from IL to Is millions OF dol
lars worth of cheese annually-or
about three dollars worth for every
inhabitant of the country. At this
stage 1t may not be out OF place to

Corn Peas for Fatteniug lambs.
The Ontario Experiment Station re-
Gently conducted tests to ascertain the
relative value Of corn and peas for fat
tening lambs. The report Of the tests
says: Two experiments have been
made with lambs for the purpose OF
comparing these two foods, and though
the results are somewhat contradlc-
tory, they are given here for what they
are worth, and another report Will be
made when further tests havN been
completed.
In the first experiment, eight lambs
were divided into two groups, making
four lambs in each group. One group
was fed equal parts by weight OF corn
and oats, and the other group was fed
equal parts by weight of peas and oats,
the grain being ground in each case.
The average meal ration was slightly
over one and one half pounds Of meal
per lamb per day. In addition to the
meal ration, both groups were fed equal
quantities OF red clover hay. In the
second experiment, change was made.
Twelve lambs were divided into three
groups Of four lambs each. One group
was fed ground corn, another group.
ground peas; and the remaining group,
equal parts by weight of ground corn
and peas. At first, the lambs were fed
one pound Of meal per lamb per day.
which quantity was eventually in
creased to pound and half per lamb
per day. On the average the lambs re-
ceived 1877 lbs of meal per lamb per
day. In addition to the meal, all
groups were fed equal quantities Of red
clover hay. The first experiment con-
tinued for "a days, and the second ex-
pertinent, 104 days.
The following table shows the ave,
age weekly gains per lamb, and the
amount of meal consumed per pound
| of gain in the two experiments:

horticultural Societies.

VIM. j. Stewart, addressing Massa
chusetts horticultural society, said:
A horticultural society has more pow.
er for good in a community than any
similar organization. We shall never
be able to estimate the tremendous IN.
fuence exerted on New England life
and character during the past half
century, and for all coming time, by
the Massachusetts Horticultural Soci-
ETY.. With the smaller affiliated or
CARNATIONS, such as yours, equal re-
suits are possible if you will only work
for it. Remember that there is all the
difference in the world between a
worker in horticulture and a patron
of horticulture. AS nation we are
yet young people and our minds are
so engrossed in industrial and econo-
mic adjustments that we find not the
leisure or disposition to devote to the
cultivation of the finer sentiments. II
is your privilege and duty to turn our
attention to higher ideas and more ra
tional living.

Feeding Young Calves.

Milk from many dairy cows is to
rich in butter fat to feed to calves.
Besides being wasteful of butter, so
much fat is not needed and may de-
range the digestion of the calf. Aver
age cows milk contains about 3.5 per
cent. fat This amount of fat being
natural to the calf does it no harm.
which may be obtained from some
other source than natural mothers
milk. The difference in market value
between milk fat and such fat as may
be supplied, may be so great as to
leave good profit for the feeder. The
substitution of skim-milk and "old
process" linseed meal cruel for moth
er's milk by easy stages is possible,
and has been accomplished at the Sta
ton with gratifying results. The
young calf is taught to drink freshly
drawn mothers milk at one to four
days old The Cruel is prepared by
scalding the meal in water, using one
part of meal to seven parts of water
by weight The change is of skinned
milk and one-fourth pound of the lin
seed meal cruel at every successive
feed, if the calf appears well and di-
gestion is not impaired. eCalves should
be closely watched and the amount OF
cruel or food varied to suit the indi-
vidual. A few ounces of ground oats
and good fine hay should be kept with
in the calf's reach at all times until
it eats both, then regular feeds should
be supplied the same as of milk and
Cruel. A little green food may be Of
fered, if possible, or if in summer the
calves may be turned into a small
shady pasture.-N. C. Agl. Experiment
