Egg pre.ervat,ve..

The Montana Experiment Station
thus tells Ut some of the experiments
carried on there to test the keeping
power of eggs in various solutions:
With view of testing the relative
value of lime and salt mixtures and
water glass as. egg personalities, we
picked about sixty dozen eggs in two
lots. The mixtures were:
No. Lime. fresh, s1k pounds; salt.
AZ pounds; water. gallons.
No. 2-Water glass, / part water
glass to IS parts water.
These eggs remained in the solution
for about six months. When examined
the water glass was found to be the
best pickle, although the lime and salt
served its purpose very we'll; still the
whites of the eggs preserved in this
mixture were much more watery than
the whites of those preserved in the
water glass. These were difficult to
distinguish from fresh eggs, since the
white was quite firm and yolk stood up
upon it just as though fresh. Another
advantage In the water glass is that
IL does not seem to affect the shell of
the egg as the lime mixture-eggs from
the lime and salt mixture being much
more liable to crack, either in cooking
or handling. We consider this matter
OF preserving eggs of great Importance
IN this state, since prices are so high
Tor eggs in the winter season. We do
not Tor moment advise the selling Of
preserved eggs for fresh-laid, but we
have no hesitancy in saying that when
the market finds that these preserved
eggs seem almost as good as the fresh
eggs, it will certainly be willing to pay
a price which will leave a good cash
margin in favor of picking. Water
glass or sodium silicate is liquid of
rather smooth, slippery consistency,
readily soluble in water. 1t may be
obtained through any druggist at a
cost OF about rs cents a gallon. In
using it we would advise the use of
stone Jars or cocks. The water used
should be quite pure, and If not it must
be boiled. Jar should be covered to
exclude any dirt, and kept at the tenn
perature Of cool cellar. Sometimes
the specific gravity Of the solution is
greater than that Of the eggs, in which
case the tendency will be for them to
float, when they may be forced down
by plate or similar arrangement with
weight on top.

Dairy Notes.

Precaution is necessary in the feed
ing of sorghum. From time to time
reports have been received of cattle
dying from eating the sorghum in
certain stages of growth. All attempts
to find the poison have failed thus
far. However, the losses have been
SO small compared to the number OF
cows being fed that the use of this
kind of feed has been continued. A
recent communication from Professor
D. H. Otis of the Kansas Experiment
Station says: During the time the
Kansas station has been pastlring
sorghum several reports have been re-
ceived of cattle dying in ten or tif-
teen minutes from the time they en-
tered the sorghum patch, but in every
case where we have been able to get
details, the cattle have eaten the sor-
ghum on empty or nearly empty stom-
achs. Cattle should have their stom-
achs so we'll filled that they feel COM
pletely satisfied before touching the
green sorghum, and then allowed to
eat only few minutes at time UNI
til they are accustomed to it. If sor-
ghum can be pastured successfully, as
has been done by the Kansas Expert
ment Station, it means that the dairy
men and stockmen can get an i'm
mense amount Of pasture from small
area, which is available at time
when their other pastures are getting
short and dry. Pasturing will also
be the most economical way of utiliz-
ing sorghum. The man that turns
his cattle in sorghum field, however,
must realize that he may be taking
risks. He must weigh the evidence
for and against it's use and then de-
eide for himself whether the benefits
will outweigh the risks"
If bromus 1nermis is to be profitable
compared with other forage plants, it
must be rightly handled. A report Of
the Nebraska station for 1899 says:
1.-THE amount of pasturage furnished
was little more than half as much
as that obtained from alfalfa during
the same part of the summer. 1t pro-
duced very little less milk and butter
fat than did the mixed grasses. 1t
may be considered an excellent pasture
grass for dairy stock" The writer
saw it growing at the Wisconsin sta
ton, where the verdict is much the
same. 1t did not come up to the ex-
pectations as a hay-producing grass
this year, yielding less than some OF
the other grasses by a good deal. 1t
grew In clumps and much OF the
ground was for that reason left bare.
1t natures later than blue grass.
which should make 1t valuable for
sowing in pastures where mixed
grasses are used. Fall pasturage
should be materially increased by the
use OF this grass.

soIling and Pasture.

The summary of some experiments
carried on at the Nebraska station
follows.
l. Leguminous crops with the ex-
ception of sand or dairy vetch induced
larger daily milk and butter fat pro-
duction than did any of the other
crops.
T. 2. Rye and sorghum were the crops
affording the largest amount of pas
8. The experiments indicated that
cowpeas produced an actually greater
quantity of milk and butter fat from
a given area of land than any other
crop.
4. A comparison of the relative
amounts of feed produced by several
forage crops when pastured and when
soiled indicated that the latter prac-
tice secures two to three times as
much feed from the same area of
land.
5. The same tests indicated that the
average daily production of milk and
butter fat was greater for the same
feed when the COW was pastured than
when soiled. This on an average
amounted to LII times greater butter
fat production from the pastured than
from the soiled crop.

Feeding Milk to Calves.

Twenty head of grade Shorthorn and
Kansas Experiment Station in the
spring of 1900 and divided into two
lots. One lot was fed on sterilized
creamery skim-milk with a grain ra-
ton composed Of equal parts of corn
and Kaff1r corn meal, with all the al
falfa hay they would eat. The second
lot was fed the same as the first, ex-
cept that fresh whole milk was used
instead Of skim-mi!k. In addition to
these two lots the station secured the
privilege of weighing twenty-five head
Of high-grade Hereford calves which
We're running with their dams in a
pasture near the Experiment Station.
Results with kim-milk.-For the
twenty-five weeks under experiment
the ten calves consumed 24,736 pounds
of skim-milk, 1,43O pounds of corn
chop, 1,430 pounds of Kaftir corn meal
and GAL pounds of alfalfa hay. The
total gain was 1881 pounds, or daily
average of 1.51 pounds per head. Fig
uring skim-milk at Is cents per 100.
grain at so cents per 100 pounds and
hay at 81 per ton, the total feed cost
of raising these calves was $52.68, or
$5.27 per head. The feed cost for each
100 pounds of gain was 1925. Cows
that are MIXED will produce larger
yields than when sucking calves. Ac-
cording to the average yield at this
station, ten COWS Zone for each calf
produced $3.50 pounds Of milk test
ing 1893 per cent butter fat. With but
ter fat at 151a cents per pound, this
would amount to $338.52. The value
of the skim-milk not needed by >the
calves would raise this to $37424. De-
duct from this the value Of the feed
consumed by the calves and there re-
mains $321.56. or s32.15 per calf to pay
for the expense of milking, feeding the
calves, and hauling the milk to the
creamery. At 121s cents per hour, this
expense need not be one-half of the
above sum, leaving SIS to SIG clear
profit for each calf raised on skim
milk.
Results with Whole Milk.-During
twenty-five weeks these ten calves con-
sumed 23,287 pounds OF fresh milk, 835
pounds of corn chop, 1886 pounds of
Kaf1r corn meal. and 1886 pounds of
alfalfa hay. The total gain was ISIS
pounds, or a daily average of 1.95
pounds per head. Charging butter fat
at creamery prices, the feed cost of
raising these calves amounts to $157.19,
or $15.72 per head. The feed cost for
each 100 pounds of gain amounts to
s5.46.
Results with Calves Nursed by the
Cows.-On May %. 1900, twenty-five
calves that were running with their
dams averaged ia pounds. On Octo-
Der Is. these same calves averaged 422
pounds, or an average daily gain per
head of III pounds. The only ex-
pense attached to raising these calves
was the keep OF the COWS. which was
estimated by the owner to be 81 per

Poultry BIen.

Poultry B:lem.
"A poultry raiser advises building the
poultry house floor Of dirt. He says
that cement floors cause bumble-foot |
and that board floors are little better.
We think that the gentleman has paid
too little attention to the height Of
his roosts. There is no need of having
the roosts so high that every time
fowl flies down it will result in bruis-
ing the feet. Board floors and cement.
floors are certainly advisable in many
cases. and II the roosts are low there
need be no damage from bumble-foot.
The writer of this has used board
floor for years, with roosts only IL
inches above it. No case of bumble-
foot ever materialized. Moreover, 1t
is entirely feasible to keep the floor
covered, with dirt, dust or chaff.
The man that wants to show sue.
cessfully at the fairs and poultry ex-
hibitions should not expect to buy his
breeding stock cheap. In fact, it will
prove cheaper to pay good price for
birds in which certain types have be-
come we'll fixed. Cheap birds may
show good points, but their progeny
may have few of them, due to the
fact that there has been too little line
breeding to be effective. The man
that pays a good price for his breeders
should demand information as to the
ancestors of the birds. A dozen gen
erations of prize winners is worth
more in the blood than one or two
generations In other words, pedigree
counts in birds as certainly as in other
KINGS of live stock.
1t takes skill to breed up a flock OF
birds for any purpose. The brainless
man will find it as impossible to sue
coed in this as in any other undertake
ing. 1t requires time, and the impa-
tient man will do we'll to keep out Of
the lists. Lastly it requires an expen-
diture of money at first out of all pro-
portion to the immediate results. The
money comes back in the future re-
suits.
Dirt is cheap and the hen should
have an inexhaustible supply of it.
She needs it for her daily bath. Water
for bathing has never appealed to the
fancy Of the hen. She conceives OF
dust as the proper medium and will
battle in that or nothing. By all means
encourage her to battle by giving her
all the dust she needs. AS this is the
time of year when dust for winter use
should be collected we call attention to
the matter now. In few weeks the
fall rains will have changed the dust
into mud and rendered it unusable.
We pick up the following waits and
send them forth to the world: Give the
fowls all the house-room they need.

ed by being sure that the drinking
