Thiaxs 60 Remember

The aim should be to produce from
$50 to 200 pound pigs at six to seven
months old for the greatest profit,
says the Jersey Hustler. Keep on
friendly terms with your herd. cuiti-
vate quiet dispositions. Have the hogs
so that you can handle them with ease.
Quietness and patience will aid In do
Ing this. AS soon as your hogs are
ready. sell them. you have no further
profitable use for them on the farm.
The man who keeps his hogs after they
are ready to go expecting to get more
per pound will be very apt to lose
money; while the one who sells when
the hogs are ready, generally hits It.
Every farmer has to accommodate
himself to his environments, so far az
food is concerned. II is his endeavor
to use that which he can produce best
II, therefore, requires every farmer
to rely In measure upon himself. He
must think over his business, and de-
eide after careful thought which are
his best methods to pursue. Give the
hogs a large range Of pasture. When
we say pasture we do not mean a large
lot that hogs have run in for years
containing not a spear OF grass. but
nice grassy pasture. Think of yourself
sitting down to a table without any
thing on II to eat and you being ex-
pected to make square meal. And
again, the hogs need exercise, sun.
shine and corn mixed with the grass
Just the same as we enjoy and requirs

The man with the good stun and
who is not overstocked, reaps the
greatest reward, while the one who is
overstocked, OF course. underfeeds and
fails to get out OF his business what
he should. A breeder who will accom-.
plish anything by permitting his ami
mails TO lose in growth, has the
expense and no work done. The fault
with the young breeder is in keeping
more stock than he can properly care
for. There should be no difficulty IN

BIRDS AND THEIR SONGS

Some Festhsred Creatures Arc Adopts
In tho Art of vsntriioqu'sm.
NatLralists who have made an es-
pecial study OF birds and their habits
declare that many OF these creatures
have the gift OF ventriloQuism highly
developed. They use the power to
good effect because by II they are often
enabled to mislsad their enemies. al
though ornithologists say they do so
unconsciously because often when
the birds resort to ventriloquism to
throw their pursuers on their track ST.
lence would have served the purpose
much better. The pinuated grouse,
or prairie chicken, has this
power TO remarkable degree, as
its tone when produced but
few rods from the listener often
has the effect OF sound originating
nearly a mile distant. The little bird
known as the Maryland yellow throat,
which lives in low, bushy swamps dur
ing the summer, shows considerable
ability as ventriloquist. and during
the nesting season makes use OF the
power as pFotectlOn-thoush appar-
emily an unnt cessary one, for the rest
of this species IL generally so carefully
hidden from sight that 1t is almost
impossible to ind II. When a person
approaches the vicinity OF its nest,
though probably within a few feet OF
the intruder. Il will throw It's voice
back and forth so realistically that II is
almost impossible to locate the bird.
Many OF the ground birds have pc
culiar habit OF throwing their voices
upward SO that they appear TO come
from tree tops. Both the blue winged
and Tennessee warblers. which ore
strictly ground birds. constantly do
this, though the best illustration Ia
that exemplified in the song OF the
winter wren.-Chicago Chronicle.

Exercising Horses.

Ar sbePJh army officer, writing on
the cav OF horses. says:
Regularity of exercise is an impor-
tant element in the development Of the
highest powers of the horse. The
horse In regular work will suffer less
in his legs than another, for he be-
comes gradually and thoroughly ac-
customed to what is required of him.
The whole living machine accommo-
dates itself to the regular demands on
1t. the body becomes active and we'll
conditioned without superfuous fat,
and the muscles and tendons gradually
develop. Horses in regular work are
also nearly exempt from the many &C.
cidents which arise from over-fresh-
ness. AS a proof of the value of reg
ular exercise we need only refer to the
stage-coach horses of former days.
Many OF these animals, though by nc
means of the best physical frame,
would trot with a heavy load behind
them for eight hours at the rate OF
ten miles an hour without turning a
hair, and this work they would con-
tinue to do for years without ever be-
ing sick or sorry. Few gentlemen can
say as much for their carriage horses.
No horses, in fact, were in harder con-
dition. On the other hand. II exercise
be neglected, even for a few days in q
horse in high condition, he will put on
fat. He has been making daily the
large amount Of material needed to
sustain the consumption caused by his
work. IL kat work cease suddenly.
Nature will. Notwithstanding. continue
to supply the new material; and fat.
followed by plethora and frequently
by disease. will be the speedy conse-
Quence.

The New Zealand Dairyman reports
that at lecture delivered on the 18th
Of May at the eighth annual conference
Of the Australian Butter and Cheese
Factory Managers Association. held
at Melbourne, M. Thomas Cherry,
M. D., NJ. s., lecturer in baeteriology,
Melbourne University. said: IL may
say a word or two about one special
defect In butter which has attracted
a great deal of attention during the
past two or three years. namely, "hsh'
iness" This peculiar flavor is due to
a chemical substance called "trimeth-
ylamine." which was first isolated
from herring brine. and which gives
the brine its peculiar flavor. During
the last ten or twelve years tri'
methylamine has been extracted in
small quantities from many kinds VI
purifying substances, and 1t Is now
known to be a product OF the growth
OF at least a score OF different micro
organisms. IL can be produced by
sowing a pure culture OF these, Just In
the same way as a pure culture of the

agreeable aroma Of good butter. The
primary cause of fishiness is therefore
the accidental invasion of the butter
by an organism capable Of setting up
this change. Among such organisms
there are several bacteria which are
found In dirty water. and others
whose natural home seems to be sea
water. But these bacteria are not
able to manufacture trimethylamine
from pure butter-fat and milk sugar.
The material from which they pro
duce II is the butter-milk or curd; that
is to say, II Is product OF the putre-
faction Of proteid substances. Further,
some OF these organisms grow very
slowly, and at comparatively low tenn
peratures; and finally. the addition OF
an extra amount OF salt seems to IA
vor their development.
The experiments which are being
conducted at the University Labora-
tory are not yet complete enough for
full report to be given. but | think
sufficient information has been OBJ
tanned to Justify the above conclu.
sions. IL SO. 1t Is evident that fish
mess Is not simple matter to be
cured by any single remedy. On the
contrary. 1t may originate at any
stage in the process Of manufacture.
The organism may find its way into
the milk on the farm and be carried
over into the cream, and thence to
the butter, or II may come from the
water used to wash the butter, or even
possibly from the salt.

American Butter and Cheese Abroad
A. X. Eastman of Waterville, New
York, says that his experience with
dairy products in England shows that
very little American butter is to be
found there. The amount OF Amer
lean cheese there is also small. He
stated at q meeting In New York that
he had inquired the reason for this
and had been told that the dealers
had not sufficient confidence In Amer
lean goods. This is due to the vast
amount OF fraud that has been prac-
ticed. and contrasts strongly with the
methods followed by the Canadians,
who make goods that will stand the
lest He charges that the Americans
work for the greatest possible immed-
late profit. That his charges are part
ly true we must admit. but there Is a
point that modifes the situation con-
siderably. He says that he finds lit
tie butter or cheese on the English
market. This is partly explained by
the fact that dealers in all kinds OF
goods resort to the trick of false
branding. Though the sale in Eng
land Of American cheese has fallen on
considerably from what 1t was a few
years ago. we still sell a good deal
Of that product to the English peo-
Pile. II II does not appear as Amer
lean cheese on the English markets
II does appear under some other
brand. Just now the Canadians have
quite a reputation for their cheese
and a good deal of the best quality Of
American cheese is doubtless sold as
Canadian. while the poorest Canadian
cheese is branded American. We
know the trick is worked with Amer
lean meats and see no reason why 1t
should not be used In the sale of dairy
products. Americans should work for
a better reputation abroad. and that
reputation can be gained only by
sending to foreign countries goods
fully up to the requirements.
