There has been a fair practical test
made of the paying qualities of the diff
ferent breeds of cows kept by farmers
who supply cream to the creamery at
Westerville, o., says H. Warren Phelps
in National Stockman. The milk has
been tested every month during the
past year by the Babcock test. The
cows have not been fed for a test but
comparisons have been made of the
mash receipts by the farmers. The
books at the creamery show the actual
cash paid to each patron and the per
cent test of the milk. Persons who
kept cows of the Shorthorn breed
grades had a test Of 49, per cent, while
others who had good Jersey cows,
grades mostly, few full bloods, tested
AZ, 5 and 81 per cent butter fat. Yet
the Shorthorn cows have yielded the
most money per head to the owners
generally. This was learned by farmers
comparing their receipts of cash, and
the results have been a surprise to the
owners of all of the COWS. Generally
the Shorthorn and Shorthorn and Ayr
shire or Devon grades have earned the
most money each month.
was very unwilling to admit that
such was the fact and was surprised
when / was Informed that it was an
established fact. Cows which tested
81 per cent butter fat gave SO much
less milk that the cows which gave
nearly twice the quantity of milk, four
and five gallons per day, although test
ing but 31a per cent butter fat, brought
more dollars per month for butter, so
that the profits have been from 81 to 81
per month per head more from the
Shorthorn grade COW.
There are some that their owners
term extra good Jersey cows whose
milk goes to this creamery. These COW
owners are going to test this matter
thoroughly and get positive results.

A friend from Michigan writes us for
directions how to fix cows stall in
the barn SO that she may be kept clean
The following is the way in which we
have fixed our own COW stall: Stall is
feet wide, box manger width of
stall and feet high, common
stanchion to hold cow, floor elevated
inches above the level of stable
floor, and of such a length as will
just permit the cow to stand upon it
when she is fastened in stanchion.
The width of the stall and the length
of the floor win have to be varied to
suit the size of the COW kept. In such
stall the COW can be kept perfectly
clean without any trouble.

Mold In Butter Tubs.

To prevent mold it is better not to
steam the tubs at all, but soak them in
a weak brine solution for at least
twelve hours before using, says Cream
cry Journal. Parchment paper should
also be soaked at least twelve hours in
a strong brine before using. The steam
ing as usually done in many creameries
is not sufficient to destroy the mold
producing bacteria. 1t merely hastens
their growth.

Rudimentnrx Tents.

We consider that well balanced and
well shaped udder in the COW is largely
due to the way the rudimentary teats
are placed on the sire. If they are
crowded together, the result is likely
to be narrow, pointed udders. If they
are well apart, of good size and well
forward of scrotum, the effect will be
to influence largely the production OF
well shaped udders in resulting heifers
and counterfeit the tendency to Ill shap-
ed udders inherited from dams def
cient in this respect.-American Guern-
sey Cattle Club.

How to Make Moth Powder.

You can prepare powder that while
performing the work of a sachet will
drive away the moth miller as well. If
small bags are filled with it and hung
among the contents of wardrobe they
| will be reasonably safe. Mix together
six ounces of Florentine orris root and
one ounce tonquin bean, cloves, mace,
nutmeg and cinnamon.

Here Is another Minnesota item well
worth mention: At the late state fair
there were on exhibition in the fruit
department 1884 plates of apples, 515
plates of plums and 454 plates of
grapes, representing over 200 varieties
of apples and 100 of plums, and all
this in state far north, outside the
supposed fruit belt and in season
when fruit production has been very
light.
The Wealthy apple, a fall fruit in the
latitude of Iowa, when grown in
northern Minnesota becomes very
good winter apple with just a little
care, illustrating the truth that the
farther north an apple is grown the
better the quality and the longer it
will keen.

SWEET POTATO STORAGE.
There Is a Tendency to FIJI Slowly
and With Little Heat.

There Is a Tendency to FIJI Slowly
and With Little Heat.
Intelligent growers differ as to the
best treatment of sweet potatoes dur
ing the sweating period, the difference
being rather as to means than end. 1t
is now generally believed to be desira-
BILE to get rid of a part of the water in
the sweet potato soon after, if not be-
fore, it is stored. A method common
among large growers has been and
still is to keep the storage room at
about so degrees f. while it is being
filled and afterward, as long as nc
indications of sprouting are seen, a
period of week or ten days or two
weeks. During this time free ventila-
ton is provided to carry off the evapo-
rated moisture. After this no artificial
heat is required, excepting to keep the
temperature above 80 degrees. Pota-
toes treated in this way are said to be
kiln dried.
A difficulty attending this high TEN.
perature method is that it necessitates
storing the potatoes more rapidly than
is always convenient, for if the work
fingers the first are apt to be sweated
too much or the last too little. What
ever the merits of this method, it is
found very difficult of application to
large crops or in large storehouses, and
the tendency now is to allow the sweat
ing to proceed more slowly at lower
temperature. The filling of some large
houses occupies several weeks, and dur
ing this time, generally in October, the
houses are thrown open in pleasant
weather for free circulation of air, and
but little artificial heat is applied. II
is claimed by those who store in this
way that it is not only more con-
venient, but in every respect better
than the high temperature method.
