OF the cheese for the next exhibit In

the scoring Of the exhibit made in May
and July being SO thoroughly pub

aroused great enthusiasm among
Sdairymen. <.
We shall expect very large ex-

quality. Letters are coming in from
creamery men and cheese manufac-
turers of every section, making careful
inquiries as to the best methods of
making, curing and shipping their
product. They see that nothing but
the finest quality will do to compete
with the makers OF other ctates and
Canada. The exhibit will be installed
on the 10th and the judging will be-
gin on the morning Of the 18th on
butter, and the 18th on cheese. This

With view Of testing the relative

These eggs remained in the solution
Tor about six months. When examined
the water glass was found to be the
best pickle, although the lime and sail
served Its purpose very well: still the
whites of the eggs preserved in this
mixture were much more watery thar
the whites of those preserved in the
water glass. These were difficult te

up affects the nerves of some, espe-

.-E..a,.. Mink to caves.

Twenty head Of grade Shorthorn and
Hereford calves were purchased by the
Kansas Experiment Station in the
spring Of 1900 and divided into two
lots. One lot was fed on sterilized
creamery skim milk with grain ra-
ton composed of equal parts of corn
and kaffir corn meal, with all the al
1aifa 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-milk. In addition to
these two lots the station secured the
privilege of weighing twenty-five head
OF high-grade Hereford calves which
were running with their dams in "a
pasture near the Experiment Station.
Results with im-milk.-For the
twenty-five weeks under experiment
the ten calves consumed 24,736 pounds
OF skim-milk, 1,430 pounds OF corn
chop, 1,43O pounds of Kafir corn meal
and GAL pounds of alfalfa hay. The
total gain was 1881 pounds, or daily
average OF Isl pounds per head. Fig
uring skim-milk at Is cents per 100.
grain at SO cents per 100 pounds and
hay at s. per ton, the total feed cost
of raising these calves was $52.6S, or.
$5.27 per head. The feed cost for each
100 pounds Of gain was 1926. Cows
that are MIXED will produce larger
