Canadian Butter in England.

Consul Brush, of Niagara Falls sends
the following to the state department:
"The growth in the exports of Cana
dian butter to Great Britain is attract.
ing general attention. In 1897 the av-
erage exports of butter from Canada
to the English market were $4,000
pounds per month. In 1893 the av.
erage was 616OOO pounds per month,
and during the first eight months of
1909 the average exceeded 14,500 hun.
dredweight per month. In August,
/, 1880, the tremendous total was record
ed of 1924, 900 pounds, or 52,3S7 pounds
of butter per day. The butter is pre-
pared especially for export, brings q
high price, and the demand for it seems
almost unlimited. The minister of
agriculture has been especially active in
promoting the sales of Canadian butter
and cheese throughout Great Britain.
The results of the two years work
show possibilities that are worthy the
earnest attention of United States ship.

Private Dairying.

At meeting of the Vermont State
Dairy association a paper was read by
Mrs. Carrie Nelson, of Ryegste, who
said she believed that the private dairy,
if properly managed, could make q
product that would compare favorably
with that of the creamery and usually
bring as high price. She spoke of the
necessity of clean stables, clean bed
ding and clean utensils, but we must
note what she said about the effects of
food on flavor of butter, as certain
professor has lately advanced the idea
that it has no effect. Several years ago
in August her COWS were running in q
field that had been lately top dressed,
For two or three different weeks her
butter dealer wrote that her butter
was "otf flavor" The cows were turn
ed back into the pasture, and soon the
dealer wrote, "Butter is all right" and
she took two first prizes on her butter.
When the corn was harvested, they
were turned into another top dressed
field, and quickly came another report
"Butter again off flavor"

Feed for the Dairy Cow

One who keeps cows for profit should
plant seed in the spring for feed for
late summer and fall, when pastures
are poor. A field of drilled corn close
to the pasture, SO it will be handy,
makes one of the best of feeds for this
purpose. Cows seem to relish corn
fodder more than anything else, and it
keeps up good flow of milk.
Pumpkins should also be grown for
this purpose. They may be planted in
field of corn and give good returns.
These are easily broken up so that the
COWS can eat them. Bsers are easily
grown and are good root food for stock.
Mangels are considered the best as they
grow much larger than other beets.
The ground should be plowed quite
deeply for mangels and sowed in rows
from two and one half feet to three feet
between the rows. These are cultiva-
ted as corn and should be thinned out
when they are well growing to about
OAlC AOOo opalts IL ludh0 Iuv1u HIOW
nicely they should have at least two
good hoeings, besides being cultivated
three times. One needs gosd ROOT
cutter to prepare them for the cows tc
eat. These should be pulled up OF
spaded up before very cold weather sets
in, as hard freezing Injuries them and
makes them become soft. One should
plan ahead for feed when pastures art
poor, for when milch COWS fail on theil
milk it is almost impossible to agai1
raise them to their usual flow. Whe1
one counts the profits on their dair!

Curative Properties q
. Remedy for indigestion IN
stomach Weakness.
Stuart s Dyspepsia Tablets, q pre-
paration for the cure of dyspepsia
and the various forms of indiges-
ton and stomach trouble, owes Its
great success as a cur for these
troubles to the fact that 1t is pre-
pared for disease and weakness Of
the stomach and digestive organs
only, and is not recommended or
advised for any other disease.
1t is not a ~cure-ali, but for any
stomach trouble it Is undoubtedly
the safest, most sensible remedy
that can be advised with the pros
peet of a permanent cure. 1t is
prepared in tablet form, pleasant
to taste, composed of vegetable and
fruit essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal, every one Of which
act effectively in digesting the food
eaten, thereby resting and invigor-
ating the weak stomach; rest Is ma
lures cure for any disease, but you
cannot rest the stomach unless you
put into it something that will do
its work or assist in the digestion
OF food.
That is exactly what Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets do. n grain of
the digestive principle contained In
them will digest 1000 grains of
meat, eggs or similar wholesome
foods, they will digest the food
whether the stomach is in working
order or not, thereby nourishing
the body and resting the stomach
at the same time, and rest and
nourishment is natures cure for
any weakness.
In persons run down in flesh and
appetite these tablets build up the
strength and increase flesh, because
they digest f1esh-forming food
which the weak stomach cannot
do, they increase the flow of gastric
juice and prevent fermentation,
acidity and SOU watery risings.
STARTS Dyspepsia Tablets can
be found at All drug stores at so
cents per package.
