NOT GOOD FOR cows.
The Feeding of Musty Hay Injuries
the MIX Flavor and Is the
Cause of Poor Butter.

Do not feed musty hay to dairy COWS
nor in fact any kind of fodder that is
musty. Some believe that this musti-
ness will not pass through into the
milk, and it may be SO, but we are
suspicious of the truth of the asser-
ton. 1t is fact that there is dir-
ference in the flavor of butter made on
June grass and the butter made in
the winter when the cows are fed on
dry hay. II this difference in feed
makes any difference in flavor, why
may it not make good deal of diff
ference if the feed be particularly
bad. Moldy feed is bad thing to
have around in any case and should
be thrown out. Using it as COW bed
ding is likely TO make the matter
worse. for the whole stable will be
scented with it, and in the morning
when the milk is drawn it will GER
tainly be tainted and this taint will!
grow as the cream ripens. 1t is not
advisable to use this for bedding and
depend on airing the barn enough in
the morning to get the smell out. This
would be seldom done at all, and where
done it would generally be done in a
very imperfect manner. The presence
of spoiled feed is very often the cause
of poor butter.-Farmers' Review

THE DAIRY UTENSILS.

In private dairies it would be well
to emulate the methods in vogue in
milk shipping stations and creameries.
Never neglect the care of the churn.
Slight negligence in this direction may
cost you fhe price of many pound Of
butter.
Nothing viii penetrate the crevices
of a churn like hot water, and it needs
to be at n boiling temperature when
applied.
After churn has been sometime out
of use 1T should be thoroughly secured
with salt and repeatedly scalded be-
fore being again employed.
If it is ,important to keep butter
tools scrupulously clean, how much
more important is it to be rigorous in
the treatment of milk utensils.
Rigid drying of dairy utensils by
both an nAbsorbent cloth and heat will
prove satisfactory. ! have known a

When the troops first came to Ma

move the troops from Camp Dewey to
Fort Malate in the rainy season.
When the dry season came and the

and the chinos were quartered along
the stone walls of the fort and ate their
meals there, until the road had crept
along past the quarters. Then they
moved their half roofs to the south
and were ready for another lap. Bam-
boo poles were carried by the chinos to
the places where they were needed, and
the bottom of the road was first made
on these bamboo poles. Over them
was piled stone and clay, and then a
surface of sand from the beach was
laid ON. Afterward a heavy roller was
dragged up and down until all was

When wood ashes are applied lime is
unnecessary, as every 100 pounds of
wood ashes contain about 40 pounds
of lime. Ashes vary greatly, as they are
produced from different sources, easily
absorb moisture, and their composition
cannot be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable in
gredient in ashes is potash. the proper
tion being about six pounds to every 100
of wood ashes. Ashes also contain about
two per cent. Of phosphoric acid and

Fn,lacy OF Changing Methods.

The farmers are now reaping the
results of neglecting the dairy cows.
They thought when the low price of
butter came on a few years ago that
it would always continue and so be-
came careless of the breeding and
feeding of their dairy cows. Some OF
the farmers bred their cows to beet
bulls and got half-beef calves, which
they let run with the cows, arguing
they might as well save the cost of a
hired millkel and get a good beef at
the same time. Now that butter IL
very high they are unable to take adj
vantage of the rise. This is always
the fate of those that are continually
changing their methods. : Farmers

v1rAI1rY OF SEEDS
Interestins. Builetin Issued By the
Botanical once Of the Kansas
Experiment station. @

It is well known that the vitality OF
seed diminishes rapidly with age.
Dealers sometimes keep seed over
from one season to another, and, II
the vitality is too low, may mix fresh
seed with this. Low vitality may not
be due to age, but to uniavorable con-
ditions at time of harvesting, or to I'M
maturity. In any case, it is well to de-
termine the vitality before planting.
While ii requires some experience to
determine the impurities in seeds, the
farmer can at least test his seed for
vitality.
A cheap and convenient form of APP
paratus for testing the vitality OF
seeds at home is the following: Choose
two earthenware plates of the same
size. Cut out two circular layers OF
flannel somewhat smaller than the
plates. Between the two layers OF
flannel place 100 seeds of the variety
to be tested, Moisten theHfannel with
all the water it will absorb. The two
layers of flannel are placed. in one
plate and covered with the other and
set in warm place. If the flannel
is thin, several pieces should be used
in order to absorb sufficient water.
Other kinds of absorbent cloth or
blotting paper can be used. but thick
flannel is rather more satisfactory. Al
the Kansas experiment station we
have used damp sand for seed bed
with good success. The dishes should
be placed in room which is kept
warm at night, or at least where the
temperature does not fall to freezing
The flannel should be kept moist by
essary. Some seeds will commence to
germinate by the third day. Each day
an examination should be made. and
those seeds which have germinated
should be recorded and removed. Fol
practical purposes. two weeks is suf
ficient time for the test. The results
obtained may be considered as repre-
senting the per cent. of vitality under
favorable conditions. The per cent
terminating in the ground is likely tc
be less. In counting out the 100 seeds
care should be taken to discard pool
or shriveled seeds or the seeds oi
weeds or other plants which may bt
present. ey
Grass seeds require as much al
three weeks, and seeds of some tree.
still longer time. Beet balls contain
from three to seven seeds. With very
small seed it may be necessary to pro
vide for the circulation of air by pla
cling small pieces of wood between
the layers of cloth among the seeds
With most varieties of garden plant,
the majority of seeds should gcrmi
