INFLUENCE OF FEED.
Its Effect ON Composition of MILK
and Character of Butter.


AS result of experiments at the
Massachusetts experiment station, COW
ering six years, concerning the infiu-
ence of feeds and feed constituents on
the composition of milk and butter fat
and on the character of the butter, the
following deductions are made:
Different amounts of protein do not
seem to have any influence on the COM
position of the milk.
Linseed oil in flaxseed meal, when
fed in considerable quantities GAO
pounds digestlble oil daily, increased
the fat percentage and increased the
heterogeneous matter of the milk. This
fat increase was only temporary, the
milk gradually returning-in four or
five weeks-to it's normal fat content.
The heterogeneous matter also gradually
returned to normal, but more slowly
than the fat
In general, feeds containing much oil
have tendency to slightly increase
the fat content of milk when first fed.
The fat percentage gradually returns
to normal.
1t is not practicable to feed large
amounts of oil to cows, as it has a
tendency to derange the digestive and
milk secreting organs.
Linseed oil effected a noticeable
change in the composition of the butter
fat, causing a decrease in the volatile
acids and an increase in the melting
point and iodine coefficient.
All oils do not produce the same eff
fects on butter fat.
The melting point of butter fat is
not always Indicative of the firmness
or body Of butter.
An excess of linseed oil produced a
soft, salvy butter, with an inferior fla
vOr.
Linseed and corn gluten meals, with
a minimum percentage of oil g per
cent?, produced normal butter fat.
The corn gluten meal produced butter
with a desirable flavor and of good
body.
King gluten meal corn gluten meal
with Is per cent OLD increased the 10
dine coefficient of the butter fat several
ueSreeS duofe lHe StduudIu ldtioh put-
ter fat, and slightly depressed the melt
ing point of fat. This effect was prob
ably due to the corn oil. The same
meal produced butter of q very desira-
BILE flavor and body.
Cottonseed meal produced butter fat
quite similar in composition to that
produced by the standard ration. The
butter produced by this meal was rath-
er crumbly when hard and slightly
salyy to the taste.

Hints From The Farm journal.


Arrange the trough so that the lambs
cannot climb in and soil the grain with
their feet. Place rack over the
trough SO that the lambs can put their
heads through to get the grain.
Three minutes a day per COW to
clean her off will be appreciated and
paid for in the milk pail. Use the
brush gently. Don't be afraid to use
plenty of clean bedding and absorb
ents.
Ii you have horse with sore or con-
tracted feet, put him in box stall
bedded with nothing but tan bark.
Be sure the horse collars fit. They
should be neither too large nor too
small and should bear evenly on the
shoulders. Each horse should always
wear his own.

skimmiIk Calves.

At the Nebraska experiment station
they took calves from three cows, fresh
May 10, June 5 and July s. 1899, and
brought them up on sllimmilk or sepa-
rator milk, making butter from the
cream. In % weeks they made nearly
1921 pounds of butter. Three other
calves, dropped May %. May 2G and
June fG, were allowed to run with tie
dams. On July IA, 1000, the three hav-
ing the whole milk weighed an aver
age of 79S pounds and the three on
skimmilk 1872 pounds. All were fed alike
after weaving, but with whole milk
valued at 81 per hundredweight and
skimmilk at 10 cents per hundred
weight it had cost $50.27 more to raise
those on the whole milk than it did
those on skimmilk, or $1G.76 each, net
reckoning anything for the extra cost
of labor in the hand feeding and butter
making. The cost of growing a calf
to months old on skimmilk was es-
timated at about 50 for food, but by
their weight as yearlings it will be
seen that they were literally fed.

l!s1UAIRY|

In the development of the heifer to
be a profitable dairy COW a great deal
depends OH the sort of man that han
dies her from calfhood to her second
milking year. She must start with good
dairy ancestry. That is the founda-
ton, but not the superstructure We
have reason to believe that large pro-
portion of poor cows could have been
made good ones if they had fallen into
the hands of men who knew how to
develop them rightly. Here are the
ways: a. Prevent the growth of fat
and the development of beefy tend
encies; ~ use constant gentleness and
frequently handle the udder; 60 breed
at Is months so as to start the develop
ment of the maternal functions while
the body is easily nodded; "a feed lib
orally of milk producing food so as to
develop the growth of the udder all
that is possible.-Addvess by w. D..

Feeding Grain With Soi1Ing Crops.
In considering the subject of feeding
green forage crops to cows, J. B. Lind
say of the Massachusetts experiment
station says that some dry feed should
be given in addition. From five to ten
pounds hay per day and two to five
quarts grain, in connection with so to
60 pounds green forage, will give the
best results in milk production. If
more clover than this is fed, it will
have a tendency to cause bloating,
while excessive feeding of millet acts
injuriously On the kidneys. Suitable
grain rations are made up as follows:
No. 1, three to four quarts gluten feed
daily; No. 2, 100 pounds gluten meal,
200 pounds fine middlings. 125 pounds
wheat bran; No. 8, $50 pounds gluten
feed, 1T5 pounds wheat bran; No. 4, 100
pounds fine middlings, $50 pounds dried
brewers grains or malt sprouts. Of
these, use four to five quarts daily, ex-
cept with clover, when one-third less
will answer.

 MT. Henry Deutsch, whose name is connected with the prize for aerial navigation, will preside. MT. Deutsch when interviewed concerning this latest novel plan for demonstrating the merits of the automobile said: My opinion is that an automobile can be used instead of mounted picador and if the picador Is placed on a swiftly revolving automobile the sport might be immense.
 II hold that with capable chaf- feur the automobile could avoid the charges of the bull. My idea in all this is that as the reyolting feature Of bull fighting is the mutilation of the horse, this could be avoided by the use of an automobile.

A NATURAL TUNNEL.

While the tourist comes from afar 10 view the Natural Bridge, and carries away forever photographed on his memory the stupendous spectacle, yet the natural tunnel of Scott county is conceded by most people who have seen them both to surpass the bridge in grandeur and sublimity of scenery.
 The tunnel is situated fourteen miles west of Gate City. Stone creek, a considerable stream, flows through it, and at high tide rushes along irs cavernous bed with q noise resembling the heaviest thunder. The tunnel is about one-eighth of mile in length, and curves in the form of the letter $. At it's southern entrance it is very high, the noble ceiling bending gracefully, forming a circular dome, as smooth and regular as if holIowed out by tho hand of art From this point it grad- ually diminishes in size, the roof com ing down to within thirty feet of the surface of the water. The northern decliyity above the tunnel is irregular and presents little attraction, except it's bold and rugged height, but the southern side fully compensates for all deficiencies. Here perpendicular wall. almost as smooth as polished marble and as white as alabaster rises 400 feet high, and curves in such manner that to one looking up from below the regular rim presents a com plete semi-circle. In the spring-time the summit of the wall is fringed with green ntertwined with honeysuckles. On the eastern side Chimney Rock, an irregular but perpendicular column, rises from the bottom of the chasm to the level of the plateau above, stand ino clear of the wall from base to sum- mit The ridge through which the tilli- nel extends is covered with a heavy
 growth of timber, and a public high way, leading from Ciinchport to Rye Cove, passes along its crest. The vir- ginia and Southwestern railroad has been constructed through the tunnel, and presents, perhaps, the only in- stance of railroad running through a natural tunnel Owing to the curya- ture the railroad company had to tun- mel through the angular projection near | the northern entrance thus making q double tunnel.

 lamb of St. John and designs of the Spanish flag and castle. The commit tee wished to retain as much as pos sible of this historic relic, but was compelled at last to let most of it go. The shape of the shield, however, was retained, and also the rock, after being so remodeled as to copy, with some exaggeration, the contour of the is- land as it appears to the voyager be- fore entering the harbor of San Juan. Behind the rock is shown the rising sun.
 The choice of crest, says Worlds Work, presented the next difficulty. No heraldic animal was suggested as having peculiar local significance, except the game cock, whose present popularity the government is doing dts best to suppress. The native flora was thoroughly sifted with view to finding a suitable tree. The mango was rejected because it too strongly resembles an oak, and the palm be- cause it's trunk is too snake-like. The bust of Columbus was next consid- cred, and, though acceptable from a heraldic point of view, it was disap- pointing in artistic effect. One of his carayels, however, conveyed so happy a suggestion of his work and made so striking figure above the shield that 1t was adopted without more ado.
 When it came to the motto the conn mittee decided that Spanish was out of thc question, since the new official language of the island was English, and English, because it was such an unknown tongue to most of the peo- pie, so, following the prevalent prac- tice in armorial achievements, Latin was chosen. Mr. Hunt entered into cores pondence with several of the most eminent Latinists and general scholars in the country. Of the mot toes submitted by them the most poet ical had for it's central thought the idea of star shining brightly in the heart of the sea; but this was open to the objection that the star is with us the recognized symbol of statehood, a condition to which Porto Rico has not attained. The successful suggestion presently came from Washington woman. and, almost simultaneously, from Dr. David J. Hill, assistant secre- tary of state. It is from Ovid: Pros pera lux oritur," literally, "A happy day is dawning." It is especially ap- propriate to the device of the sun ris- inr over a anelo7 zen

 pies of the Order.
 The following is copy of the letter issued to the different pastors Dy Bishop Janssen of St Louis:
 "Rev Dear Father: Last December we directed circular to the clergy of the diocese requesting them not to al- low the formation of new organlza- tions. Since various Catholic organiza- ti0ns were established i'll the diocese, it would be detriment to the Catholic cause to split the Catholic forces still more. True to this principle, we re- fused to give our approval to several new organizations desiring to get a foothold in this diocese. Thus we re- fused to grant permission for rhe foundation of council of the Catholic Knights of Columbus, when called upon by a committee desirous of ob- taining the episcopal sanction. In spite of this the work of soliciting members has been going on in East St Louis and Belleville, and the formal or Sanization of the council is to take place at East St Louis tomorrow (Sun- day) afternoon. Now. we appeal to she pastors to persuade their people not 10 join said organization. There can be no doubt but that the greater part of the men intending to join the council of Knights of Columbus have been IT. duced to hand in their application, not knowing that the council was to be or ganized in spite of the opposition of the bishop of the diocese. Please make the contents of this letter known to your people at all masses tomorrow and add such other remarks as may seem fit for the occasion. Yours truly,
 JOHN JANSSEN,
 Bishop of Belleville."

Griffin is said to be mentally unbalanced, and when asked to account for his conduct last night said he knew nothing about it.
 Jeremiah Lawlor was charged with asasulting his neighbor, Philip Schwartz. The difficulty which result ed in bringing the accused to court began about two years ago and had it's origin in q dispute about nationalities. in which the United States, Ireland and Scotland were the principals.
