"THE STRENGTH OF TWENTY MEN. "
When Shakespeare employed this
phrase he referred, of course, TO healthy,
able-bodied men. If he had lived in
these days he would have known that
men and women who are not healthy
may become 80 by taking Hoods Sar

Cows az Food Producers.

The COW is one of the most valuable
of the farm animals as an economic
producer Of food from the coarse and
cheap folders Of the farm, says a cor
respondent Of The Breeders Gazette.
The following illustrates this point:
One pound of dry matter in milk is
produced from s pounds of dry matter
in food, in beef from q pounds, in NUT
ton from p pounds and in pork from
pounds.
The only fair comparison is between
the Eliminating animals, which are fed
on similar food. The hog is fed al
most wholly on concentrated foods, as
the various grains. 1t takes nearly
three and one-half times as much food
to make a pound of dry food in beef
as it does to make one pound of dry
matter in milk and over two and one
half times as much to produce the
same results with sheep. The cow is
therefore a much more efficient food
producer than either the steer or the
sheep.
The COW, moreover, produces food
that is adapted to a wide range of use
and is almost indispensable to the
young of humankind. Milk, too, and
the products from it are more thor
oughly digested than other animal
foods and there is less waste. The
dairy cow will long survive the steer
as a producer of food for man.

Corn Oil Meal.

We are receiving many inquiries of
late concerning this relatively new by
product from corn, says Hoard's Dairy
man. 1t is made from corn hearts, or
the germs of the corn kernels, and is
claimed to have better if not greater
feeding value than linseed oil meal.
While we are not prepared to vouch
for the literal accuracy of this claim,
we have no question that it is a valua-
bic addition to the list of highly con-
centrated foodstuffs rich in digestible
protein and one that dairymen, will
be we'll repaid for giving a fair trial.
Feed merchants in dairy districts
ought to be prepared to distribute this
meal to their customers this spring in
small lots SO that it's value may be
demonstrated and the farmers be pre-
pared to place their orders for next
winters feed Understandings. It ought
to be sold regularly for about $22.5O
per ton at retail, and, If it shall prove
on trial to have the merit claimed for
it, it will fill a place now largely va
cant because Of the excessive prices
charged for linseed oil meal in many
sections of the country

Continuous Milking.

The North British Agriculturist tells
of a case of continuous milking by
which a COW has established record.
It says: "a noteworthy milking record
has been established by the Red Poll

ham. She gave birth to her third calf
on May II, 1890, since which date she
continued uninterruptedly in milk till

ing the nine years four months that she
was continuously in milk she yielded
altogether SOAPS pounds, or nearly %
tons, of milk Over the last five years
the average quantity of butter fat in
her milk was as high as 4.3 per cent.
Her live weight when sent to market,
after being on grass feed for the last
SIX months of her life, was 1,159
pounds. In the nine years since her
last calving she gave something like
45 times her own weight in milk, and
her average production during that pc
Rod was 5,4O3 pounds of milk. or con-
siderably over 500 gallons, per annum. !"

wheat -four is put in it and thoroughly
mixed. 1t is let stand on slow fire
for a few hours. When it is cooled
down, the cream is taken off the milk
and served with sugar or honey on it,
This makes a delicious dish.
Butter is made in Turkey in three
different ways. First, it is made Of
whole milk. AS soon as the COWS are
MIXED they put the milk in large pot
made of baked earth. They add to this
the milkings of a few successive days
until it is deemed enough for one
churning. 1t ferments by itself during
that time, to what degree nobody
knows. Then it is churned. Second,
when the COWS are MIXED the milk is
boiled and it's water is. partly evapo-
rated; then it is put in shallow pans
five to eight centimeterS deep and left
there to stand overnight in a cool place.
The next morning it is skinned by
taking off the cream and putting it in
pot. The cream thus raised stands in
that pot for weeks, sometimes whole
month, until it is accumulated enough
for one churning, then it is churned.
The third way is to boil the fresh milk
as in the former case, then put it in
dishes of suitable size while boiling
hot When it is cooled down to blood
heat, they put in it part of old ma
zoon, or fermented milk, as starter
That makes the whole mass MACON.
When there is enough Of it, they
churn it.
There are two principal systems Of
churns in Turkey-the barrel and the
dash churn. In the cut you see d long
barrel hung from the ceiling by some
ropes. The fermented milk, or MACON,
is put in it one-third full and, according
to the climate, has added to it hot or
cold water as much as the weight Of
MACON or a little less. 1t takes one
to two and a half hours to get the
churning done with this churn.
Another kind of barrel churn (b) is
seen on the ground and the country
woman operating it. 1t is a hollow
earthen vessel half full of MACON and
water She has put it on a pillow and
is rocking it patiently. c is a dash
churn, which is used more extensively
than the other two. The handle (d)
is standing by it. People suppose that
it is the best churn ever made. e is a
cloth strainer.
Butter is never taken out of the
churn before it becomes q big lump.
1t is sailed, worked and packed by
hand in wooden tubs. There are no
other dairy utensils but the churn, the
strainer and the hand. Butter is salt
ed sometimes as high as. 20 per cent,
and sometimes it is sold unsalted. In
every case the buyer has to melt it and
take the surplus of salt and other for
eign matters out or salt it if there is
none in it. This increases the keep
ing quality of butter.

Filthy Milk and Cleo.

The OleO men are now making much
OF the argument that filthy milk is
sometimes sent to the creamery for
butter making, says Rural New York
er. Then they say that laws to compel
dairymen to be clean are more needed
than laws to regulate the sale of cleo.
Of course they think so. From their
standpoint filth in milk is a terrible
crime, while filth in business morals is
a little thing. Dairymen do not object
to fair sanitary laws. They will be
clean if the oleo people will be honest.
All manner of tricks are resorted to in
order to evade the present laws. Just
as in the sale of process" or deviled,
butter, all sorts q schemes are prac-
ticed to pass the ytuff off dishonesty.
In some cases where the state laws de-
mand that packages shall be plainly
marked purple wrapping paper is used,
with the printed name in about the
same color ink. In other cases yellow
ink is used on the white wrapping pa
per, SO that it cannot be easily read.
No use talking, the oleo business is full
of frault which our present laws can
not prevent.

that the shot Shot shot shot Mott or, as

may be possible that the shot Shott

and the stars are like dropping balls Of
fire, so close they seem to be almost
within reach. The northern lights look

the heavens.
AS you pass the electric lamps you
see very fine particles of snow caught
up by the wind and glittering high in
the air like diamonds. But it is a cold
night. and you are not sorry to get into
blanket or so from the bed, for there
are people in Canada who sleep all the
year round with only sheet over
them, to such pitch of perfection
have they brought the heating of their
rooms.

UNIFORM STANDARD.
What the Market Demands In But
ter and Cheese.


ter and Cheese.
One of the needs of the time is some
uniform standard of butter and cheese
making, so that there will be less diff
ference between the grades which are
shipped to our markets, says w. e.
Farmer in American Cultivator. Such
uniformity of our product would be of
inestimable value to our shipping
trade, which at present has a good
deal to contend with in foreign. mar
kets. If all dairymen tried to make
their butter and cheese after a certain
excellent formula, the products would
soon obtain better reputation in Eu-
rope. One of the secrets of the sue
cess of Canadian cheese in England
is that it is all of a uniform standard
Cheeses from 40 or so factories or farms
can be placed alongside of each other,
and they look SO much alike that it
would be hard to believe that they
were made in widely different parts of
the country by as many different men.
Through cooperation and united eff
fort the Canadian cheesemakers have
come to adopt modern, clean, sue
cessful method of making and curing
their cheese, and, as all cheese that
fails to come up to the standard can
not be exported as Canadian cheese,
the shreWd dairymen have little in
centive to make anything except the
best. Now, having established an en-
viable record for their cheese, these
same dairymen are devoting their at
tention to the improvement of their
butter product. They, are employing
the same method to do this that they
adopted SO successfully for their
cheese. 1t is the uniformity of their
cheese more than anything else that
has given it the reputation abroad.
In looking around for a standard of
either cheese or butter, it is only neces-
Sary to examine the product of the
careful, skillful dairymen in the spring
and summer Of the year. Natures
succulent food is at it's best now, and
it is not difficult to make fine, yellow
butter or rich, fine, full cream cheese.
The product of the dairy at this season
should be accepted as the standard for
the year round. Our June creamery
butter is considered so fine that specu-
latOrs buy hundreds of tons of it and
store it for winter trade. This would
not be necessary ifswe made an effort
to keep up the standard.
