cows were MIXED The contentious
have been sometimes fierce. The ex-
pertinent stations have paid little at
tention to the subject, though it is a
subject that would appear easy Of So
lution: At last an experiment station
in Canada has taken up the question
and has actually made a test to set
the matter straight. Turnips were kept
in the stable where the COWS were be-
ing MIXED for some time, but no tur-
nip flavor vas detected in the milk.
The inference is that the flavor must
come through the COW. OF course, it
is not possible to build a conclusion
of the matter out of a single expert
ment, but even one experiment indi-
Gates something.

ENGLAND's COAL FIELDS.

A French author, Monsieur E. Loze,
has recently discussed again the ques-
ton of the probable duration of the
British coal fields. Assuming that the
prosperity and power of Great Brit
ain depend upon her supply of coal,
he thinks that ''the end of Britain" is
due within the coming century. He
fixes the date 1850 for the complete
exhaustion of the attainable supply of
coal in the British Isles. To this
statement the English scientific jour
nal, Nature, replies that Monsieur Loze
has failed to take account of recent
Investigations proving that mining can
be economically carried on at much
greater depths than 1000 feet-the linn
it assumed by the French author-and
consequently that the British coal sup
ply will last indefinitely longer than
his calculation shows.

Like all statistics, these figures
sometimes require to be explained. For
instance, the highest death rate Of
any city in the country-almost thir-
ty-fve to the thousands that of
Charleston, while New Orleans, Sa-
vannah and San Antonio all had a
death rate OF more than twenty-five
to the thousand. But this does not
prove that they are unwholesome
places. Each has a very large color
ed population, and exceptional mortal
ity here swells the general average.
The really deadly" cities are foreign
ports, like Bombay, where the death
rate is sometimes over sixty-four to
the thousand.
With the exception Of Rockford, H.
linois, the most healthful cities seem tc
lie west Of the Mississippi. Seattle
heads them, with a death rate of only
about seven to the thousand. st
Joseph, Missouri; Portland, Oregon;
Lincoln, Nebraska; Tacoma, Washing
ton; Sioux City, Iowa, and Rockford
Illinois, all have a death rate of less
than ten to the thousand. The death
rates Of New York, London and Paris
are over nineteen to the thousand.

WHEAT FROM EGYPTIAN TONES.

The statement has frequently been
made that it is possible to cause
grains of wheat found in ancient
Egyptian sepulchres to terminate and
grow. This statement has been dis
puted, and the question was discussed
at a recent meeting of the French
Academy Of Sciences. 1t was shown
that while the albumen of wheat found
in a tomb 5000 years old had under
gone no alteration, the embryo was
changed and could not be caused to
terminate. But a fresh embryo placed
in the ancient albumen would grow,
and this fact, it was said, probably
accounted for the statement that the
old Egyptian wheat rescued from it's
long entombment would sprout and
grow.

Bulletin 81. Rhode Island Expert
ment Station: Another phase of con
stitutional weakness is the failure to
absorb the yolk at the normal rate.
Just previous to breaking the shell the
chick takes into the body, cavity the
large unassimilated remnant of the
yolk of the egg. The point at which
the abdominal walls meet after clos
ing in the yolk-sac can be plainly seen
as a bare spot, the navel. The yolkZ
a thus within the body cavity is con-
nected with the, intestine by a mar
row tube through which the liquefed
yolk enters the cavity of the intestine,
where it is digested and absorbed.
This, as is well known, is the reason
why chicks require no food for at least
twenty-four hours after Matching. For
the next two or three days, as the
chick acquires strength, the yolk is
supplemented more and more by food
from external sources. and normally,
at the end of perhaps a week, the yolk
has practically all been absorbed. If,
however, through anatomical abb
normalities, inherited weakness, or
other cause, the chick fails to assim-
ilate the yolk, the bird does not get
the natural food and may thus be
weakened, and at length the unab-
sorbed yolk decomposes and poisons
the chick. This is the most prolific
cause of bowel trouble" Many breed
ers have remarked that chicks Matched
from eggs which have been subjected
to much variation of temperature in
the incubator are most subject tt
bowel trouble and that this may
kill almost the entire hatch. The
cause was found by us to be in the
non-absorption of the yolk. This hap
pened in a large proportion of those
chicks which died previous to hatch
ing, and 1873 per cent of the matched
chicks examined showed abnormalities
connected with the yolk-sac.

Polish Fowls.

The Polish fowl is strictly a fancier's
fowl and not one for general profit,
especially the profit required on the
farm. For the fancier who has nothing
to do but spend his time with his
chickens no mor satisfactory fowl can
very docile as a rule, and certainly
makes a nice pet. The varieties of the
Polish breed are numerous, viz, White
Crested Black, Black Crested White,
White Crested White, Silver Spangled,
Gold Spangled, and Buff, all of which
are very handsome. The crest on the
head is very large and obscures the.
view of the fowl in nearly every direc-
ton except downward. They are,
therefore, an easy prey to hawks, and
for this reason alone are certainly not
the farmers fowl. Again, in winter
time they must be protected from in
clement weather; since the heavy crest
when wet remains so for a long time,
thus subjecting the fowl to colds roups
etc. The young chicks are very deli
cate and must have the best Of care,
especially while feathering. The breed
is a good summer layer, but according
to the writer's experience not q winter
layer. Instead of wanting to sit at the
end Of each clutch It seems to be the
rule for them to cluck for Q few days
and then start In on another sitting
of eggs.-E. P. Niles.

Future Demand for Horses.

Prof. Nelson Of the United States
Department of Agriculture, in discuss
ing the probable effects of new in
Ventions upon the future demand for
horses, thus sums up the prospects:
From 1887 to 1894, a period marked by
great activity in street and railway
building and also the increased man.
ufacture and use Of bicycles, the num-
Der of horses increased from IL, 496, 744
to 16,081,139. This shows that, al
though the use of the horse decreased
in particular directions, yet there
must have been a healthy growth in
their use in other directions. During
this period the selling value of horses
gradually declined from $72 to $48 per
head. But this decrease was certainly
not due to the number of horses
thrown on the market as a result OF
displacement by electricity in propul-
sion of street cars and the general in
PRODUCTION of the bicycle, because we
find that the values of other live stock,
mules, mich cows and other cattle de-
creased from 80 to 40 per cent during
the same time.
During the prevalence of the great
commercial depression from 1893 to
1897 the number of horses in the coun-
try fell to Il, 4,567. At the same time
the value per head suffered a further
decrease, the same being the case with
sheep, swine and cattle, other than
mich cows. The cattle interest vas
the first to recover, being followed a
year later by the other stock inter-
ests. 1t is likely that there will be a
continued demand for the right kind
of horses. A great deal has been writ
ten about the probable displacement
of the horse by the automobile, but it
hardly seems probable hat it will pro-
duce any more serious effect than have
the electric street cars and bicycles.
Each has it's sphere of usefulness, and
each will continue to have.

Experiments in Cattle Feeding.

The Oklahoma Experiment Station
is continuing it's feeding experiments
with hogs and steers. Last winter a
corn and Kafir meals and alfalfa hay
and Ka1r stover in such a manner that
the relative value of each for the pro-
duction CT beef could be determined.
The same work will be duplicated this
winter in order that as many trials as
conclusions are drawn. Last years
results were reported in the annual re-
port of the station. They pointed out
the great value of alfalfa when fed in
connection with either corn or Kafr
meal, and also showed that it is pos
sible to fatten steers on Kafr meal
and Kafir slower, though not SO eco-
nomically as when corn meal and al
falfa are used.
The feeding experiments with hogs
will be chiefly along the line of deter
mining what amount of cottonseed
meal may be fed with safety to hogs.
Last winters results were very n
couraging, a number of hogs being fat
tened with c~ottonseed meal with the
loss of but one hog. and that due to
intentional feeding of meal after the
danger point had been reached. The
feeding of cowpea and alfalfa hay tc
hogs will also be continued. previous
trails having indicated the great econ
omy of this practice.

Dairy Notes.

We would like the experience of our
readers on the question Of the quality
OF the silage in deep silos. One man
with a silo As feet deep says that the
silage is good and sweet for the first
10 feet but becomes sour as the bot
tom is approached, till at the bottom
the silage is SO soul that the COWS
will scarcely touch 1t. The man lays
1t to the pressure at the bottom being
far greater than at the top. It seems
to is that the effect should be Just
the opposite, and that the higher pres
sure should give a more perfect keep
ing silage. Will some of our dairy
men that have silos give US their
opinions on the matter @s
Cows that suck themselves trouble
many a dairyman and it is something
M a problem to know how to break the
habit. One Of the best plans is to
boil a few quassia chips in a gallon
of water and use the water for wash
ing the teats of the COWS after each
milking. When the COW tries to suck
herself she will get such a mouthful

The question of odor in milk is one
that has long disturbed dairymen and
scientists interested in dairy subjects.
Some have claimed that the odors were

Tho uddar.

Prof. H. Hayward says: Doubtless
you all know that the productivity of
an udder is dependent upon the num-
Der of %epithelial or secretive cells it
contains, and not necessarily upon it's
size. The ideal udder Their would be
one of such a shape that the MAXI
mum-sized udder containing the max
imum number of secreting cells could
be easily carried when full. A little
thought will show US that the shape
OF this udder must necessarily form
part of an arc of a circle. but that
both the back and front part Of the
udder will extend beyond the circle,
and thus form what we know as a
square, we~ll-balanced udder. The I'D
der, should, of course, be free from
much flesh. The amount of flesh an
udder will show on milking out, how
ever, will depend on the period Of lac
tation, as the more active the secre-
tive cells are, the more apparent flesh
will the udder show after milking. A
feshy udder is readily distinguished
by the fact that superfiuous flesh that
1t contains usually seems to drop more
or less to the bottom Of the udder,
making it p%endulous. Such M udder
not only Is unsightly, but the cow
with such an udder is quite likely to-
transmit this undesirable quality to
her offspring. The most common
fault found in the udder is the i'm
perfect development Of the front I'D
der. This is often seen in a very
marked degree in certain families, or
sometimes whole breeds,
believe the lack of development in
the fore-udder is the cause of a large
aggregate loss to the dairymen OF our
country, and that it is we'll worth the
while to at least make the effort to
overcome this fault, which is so COM
mon in our dairy cows. To give some
idea Of the great difference between
the quantity of milk produced by the
front and rear udder, l quote the re-
suits obtained by Prof. Plumb in some
studies of the udder, which he made
a few years ago. In 226 different lots
OF milk obtained from 65 different
cows, representing several types OF
udders, he found that the average
yield of the 226 front udders was Al
quarts, while the average yield of the
226 rear udders was 4.9 quarts, or a
difference of over 16 per cent. 1t
should be borne in mind that these
were average udders, and not udders
noticeably deficient in one part OF
the other.
To note the effect when the front
udder was ~noticeably undeveloped, the
same observer took 10 cows that had
a more or less inferior front conform
alton, and weighed separately the milB
produced by the rear and front udder
In these cases, it was found that the
rear udder produced 81 per cent more
milk than the front udder, which plain
ly shows the difference existing II
different types Of udders. Prof. Plumb
further noted the difference in the
yield of the front and rear udders
where the udders were we'll balanced
In the nine cows studied, it was found
that the difference in the milk yielc
OF the front and rear udder amounted
: to only 4 per cent-a comparatively
: insignificant difference.

OF thirty thousand or more.
