The chief reason why the question
of coloring butter artiticially is being
so much discussed is the advent of
margarine as a competitor of butter,
says a correspondent of the London
Live Stock Journal. Margarine, as
many Of us are fain to believe, would
stand poor enough chance in the
market against butter if it were not
colored in imitation Of butter, and it
is this fraudulent point in margarine
that has made people critical as to the
moral right or wrong of coloring pale
butter to make it look rich. Granted
that it is a fraud on the public to color
margarine to resemble butter, the
question arises: How far is it defensi-
BILE to color inferior butter to resemble
superior butter? And out of this arises
the further question: How can we fair
ly demand that margarine people shall
deSist from using colOring matter
while butter makers are allowed to use
it as freely as they like? This, indeed
seems to be the crux of the whole
thing, so far as rival disputants are
concerned. The problem might be final
ly solved perhaps by prohibiting both
parties from using such artificial color,
but what would the dairymaids say to
that? That the margarine people have
no moral right or claim to use it may
be taken as. clear enough, but, then,
what about the right of the butter
makers? There can be but little doubt
that parliament would far more easily
see it's way to prohibiting the use Of
artificial color in margarine if only
the use Of it in butter did not stand in
the way.

Hny Rich In Protein.

A Canadian correspondence of HOard's
Dairyman says: The dairyman must in
the future grow hay crops as rich as
possible in protein to combine with
his cheapest Of all feeds, corn ensilage
and fodder, prominent among which
are alfalfa, cOWpeas, the clOvers, Can
ada field peas, peas and oats, etc., &C
cording to climatic and soil conditions.
Without any of the above class Of feed
on hand, it may safely be allowed that
ten pounds of mixed grain must be fed
to keep up the milk. flow Of a cow
while on q full ration. With them this
part Of the ration, and the most eX-
pensive part, too, can be reduced about
One-half, and at the same time more
crushed corn can safely be fed, that
can be home grown and a we'll known
milk producer when properly combin-
ed
For years we have mixed from one
third to one-half of cowpeas with the
corn in the silos with excellent results,
but this is only a step in the desired
direction. Timothy has been such a
cheap, sure and heavy yielding crop
in the bottom lands that it has hitherto
been the main hay crop. Last fall saw
some of this plowed up and alfalfa
seeded in it's place. The field has been
a solid mass of green all the winter,
after making nearly foot of growth
last fall and more than twice this in
depth of root. If it fulfills it's promises
this year, there will be a large area
sown in the fall, which is, from all
accounts, the best time to seed. ~ We
are also doubling the area Of cowpeas
and Canada peas and oats, both GER
tain crops for this section, and shall
give SOFA beans a good test on two Of
the farms. r~

Kansas Cows.

II. M. Brandt, one Of the leading
creamery men of Kansas, said to the
state board of agriculture the other
day: There is not a farmer in Kansas
or elsewhere, if he knew what could
be done with a good COW, but who
would be a dairyman. There is not a
more honorable way of making COM
Portable living. Show me a farmer
who has insisted on raising grain for
the last six or seven years exclusively,
keeping very little dairy stock, if any,
who has made any money and kept his
grocery bills and incidental expenses
paid up without going in debt and |
will show you two who with 10 or 10
cows have, aside from raising a wheat
crop, raised enough of corn, oats and
other feed crops and fed them to the
cows that paid off mortgages on their
homes, paid living expenses on half
the acreage, were happy and had mon
ey in the bank. We have the disagree
able things to contend with, we admit,
in Kansas as well as elsewhere, but
have yet to see the day or month but
that there was plenty of feed that
would make milk. What we need is
men that will persist in learning the
most profitable way to farm, and we
will soon see the cow in her proper
place. No man has right to call him
self a farmer unless he is a worker, a
manager. tfnancier,- business man.
and, last but not least, he must be a
lover of cows if he would succeed.

The man who thinks dairying is now
what it used to be is likely to be badly
shocked, says Rural New Yorker. We
spoke some time since Of the quick de-
livery Of a cream order. Here is the
programme OF Connecticut dairy
farm: The COWS are MIXED from 4:3O
to p. NJ, and some hot nights last
summer, right after milking, the milk
was run through the separator and the
cream run into can packed in salt
and ice to. cool it thoroughly 1t was
then Immediately made into ice cream
and by 80 was being sold at 10 cents
per dish and 40 cents per quart. Less
than two hours from the cow! The
butter is churned every morning at
about a. m. and the buttermilk taken
fresh on the cart and frequently reach
es the consumer within Is minutes of
the churn The butter Is salted in the
churn, printed after breakfast and by
9 or 10 a. IN. is in the hands Of the con-
sumner. The cream Of tonight and to-
morrow Is set to ripen the same day at
IL a. M. and churned the next morning.
SO the butter Is made from milk only
"a to IS hours old. Some mornings,
when milk Is scarce, the skimmilk has
been taken on the cart itnmediat ely
from the separator and within 80 min
utes of the cow delivered to customers.

SHRfNkAGE IN SUMMER.
Milk Decreases In Quantity and
Quality During Hot Weather.

Milk Decreases In Quantity and
Quality During Hot Weather.
The shrinkage of milk In summer,
says, Hoard's Dairyman, is an impor-
tant question. In the hot, dry weather of
July and August not only do the cows
decrease greatly in their flow Of miis.
but also the quality of milk decreases
that is to say, it takes more pounds Of
milk to make a pound of butter or
cheese. G. L. Fitch, superintendent Of
the Hoard creamerieS, furnishes the
following data on this subject: ~ find
on referring to our daily reports dur
ing August, 1899, that, for instance
our koshkopong creamery dropped in
milk supply Aug. 100 from 6,000e to
1900 pounds daily and in butter yield
from 4.99 and sos pounds per 100
pounds of milk on the LIST and I'd to
4.3O and 4.1S pounds per 100 on the
3Oth and 31st Besides this fall in
quantity and per cent of fat, the losses
in the skimmilk largely increased in
spite, of all the skill and care the but
ter maker could put forth. Our losses
of butter fat in the buttermilk are al
ways larger in the hot weather of sum-
mer than in winter"
All this shrinkage in yield of both
milk and butter fat, also the loss in
skimming and churning in such wealth
er, can be almost wholly remedied if
the farmers will put up summer silos
and as soon as the first show of shrink
age of milk appears open the silo and
feed the cows about Is pounds night
and morning. This is a cheaper and
better way to furnish the COWS with q
rich, juicy food than to cut and carry
green forage to them.
Another way to help the matter is to
have the COWS calve in September and
go dry in July and August. In this
case also the summer silO helps great
ly, giving the fresh COWS a good start
with just the food they need to enlarge
the milk flow
1t is a curious thing how slow and re-
luctant the dairy farmers are to avail.
themselves of the splendid advantage
of the silo for both winter and summer
production of milk. There are such
great number Of them who think pas
cow has to work herself down to skin
and bones to get a starvation ration
out Of it.

A High Priced Man.

General Weyler's brutality to the
country farmers Of Cuba was the di-
rect cause of the desperate instruction
in Cuba which led to the Spanish war.
That war cost the United States $780,
100000. The cost to Spain was 1885,
100000, exclusive Of loss Of territory.
The cost to Cuba in the way of wreck
ed plantations and loss of commerce,
especially of her tobacco trade, is
roughly estimated at G20,00O,OO0 more.
So Weyler came distinctly high.-An-

derful little cow Red Rose when in Mr..
Suttons herd producing the extraordi-
nary yield of over five tons Of milk in
one year. Other specimens, too, have
shown themselves capable Of very
high records, and at the recent London
dairy show, where everything was car
ried out ON the most exact practical
fines, scarcely any breed gave SO good
results as the DeXters, and doubtless,
had food been taken into consideration,
they would have stood higher on the
list The Dexter, it must be borne in
mind, is native Of a district very storm
swept and bleak; consequently nature
has so arranged that their coats shall
be rather later in coming off than those
of cattle bred in warmer parts. Black
Knight is an excellent example of the
Dexter breed.

SCIENCE OF DREAMS.
Results of a Series of Experiments
by q German Professor.

by q German PROFESSOR.
Sleep is not .'the brother of death, ;"
as the poets have said from Homer
to Shelley; but, on the contrary, "sleep
is the brother of life" So Professor
Baschide asserts, who, in an article
in the UaturwissenschaftHc Runds-
chau, gives an account Of his expert
ments upon 36 dreamers." His sub
jects were of various ages, from 1 year
to 80 years.
In some cases his observations were
continued during the whole night and
in others for a great part of the night.
He watched and recorded every
change Of physiognomy, every move
ment Of the limbs and every speech or
sound uttered by the unconscious
dreamers. The depth Of the sleep was
also carefully measured, while from
time to time the dreamers were awak
ened, but without their own percep-
ton that the awakening was inten-
tiOnal.
The professor obtained, as he writes
at length, the following results: O
We dream, throughout the whole of our
sleep, even in that deepest sleep which
we imagine to be "dreamless." 0
There is an intimate connection be-
tween the depth Of our sleep and the
character of our dreams. The deeper
the sleep the further back travels the
retrospect into the past experiences Of
life and also the more remote are the
contents of the dream from reality. In
a light sleep, on the contrary, the sub
ject Of the dream relates to the expe-
riences and excitements of the day
and has a character of probability. 81
In a comatose sleep the professor
thinks there may perhaps be NO dream
ing. az Persons who assert that they
do not dream 'are the victims of phys
zeal delusion." % Dreams of a moder-
ate character remain longest in the
memory. The wilder the dream the
sooner it is orgotten.-London News.

favor, says the London Live Stock
Journal, doubtless on account Of their
hardihood as we'll as their adaptability
to thrive and yield a large profit on

pretty generally admitted that more

Glover Hay and Milk Cows.

jects says that clover hay is not g
good diet for milk COWS. 1t has really
little usefulness for the dairyman. 1t
would pay him better if it was all
turned under the soil to enrich it. Next
to this the feeding of damaged grain is
the most fruitful cause of bad body in
