The Bloc ! OF Our Stock.

There is a common saying that we
live by our blood and on it, and if the
blood is impure our systems starye! If
too rich we break out in disease and
suffer, but if just right at all times
we enjoy perfect health. This is so
true that physicians try to get at the
root of all diseases by purifying and
feeding the blood. If this is kept in
good condition and in healthy circu-
lation most diseases will be thrown
off and the system thereby will be
saved many sufferings.
A good deal if not all this practical
wisdom is applicable to the live stock
which we raise on our farms-the
COWS, pigs. sheep and poultry. The
blood is the all essential constituent
that makes good or bad animals. Let
that get out of order and then the
door is thrown open for all sorts Of
physical disorders. There is hardly
a disease that cannot be traced back
directly or indirectly to the blood.

fer with would never have been con-
tracted had the blood been all right.
If the blood had been pure, rich and
in good circulation the animals would
have been able to throw the cold of,
or never to have taken it at all.
Consequently, we need to pay lit
tie attention in the winter time to
feeding for blood. and for seeing that
it is all right. Richness of blood
sometimes means impurity, and that
is not to be desired any more than
impoverished blood. Animals that are
shut up in close winter quarters and
fed heavily on rich foods will inva-
riably have thick. sluggish blood
which may cause fevers and other
troubles. Swine cholera owes it's orr
gin to feverish. thick and sluggish
blood. When turned out in the clover
lot, they keep their blood cooled off,
and they rarely suffer from cholera.
We cannot afford to feed our stock

Kale as Food for Stock.

The thousand-headed kale is va
riety that is highly esteemed in Eng
land as food for stock. 1t forces
lambs as rapidly as does rape. and 1t
is claimed that it never causes gases
in the stomach of an animal. The
seeds are planted early, or the plants
may be started in a hotbed for an
early supply, being transplanted as
soon as the season opens. It is termed
thousand-headed kale because the
stalk supports a large number OF small
heads. In this country the Essex rape
is preferred. and it has been tested in
all sections. especially as food for
sheep.

Sheep will not thrive on all kinds
of soils. Some breeds are very active
and will thrive in large flocks, but the
large mutton breeds require good pas
turage, and will not give satisfactory
results if compelled to work over
large areas for all they get. All sheep
should have dry soils. Foot rot will
always occur in a flock that is kept

Taking Composite Milk S,np'eh

The modern creamery end cheese
factory uses the Babcock test for de-
termining the richness of the milk de-
livered by each patron. The most
common end satisfactory method OF
paying for the milk according to its
test is to take a small sample OF each
lot of milk every day. pour this into
a covered glass jar containing small
amount of some preservatlVe ana at
the end Of week or ten days test this
composite sample. The essential tea-
lures of the process are given IN the
following directions:
Provide a pint or quart jar or bot
tie for each patron. Label each bottle
with number, giving the same num-
Der to a patron on the milk recording
sheet. Composite test sample bottles
made fer this purpose with tin cover
and numbered brass tag wired to the
neck of each bottle can be obtained OF
creamery supply firms. These sam
pie bottles should be placed on shelves
within easy reach of the weigh
can, and protected from the light.
A preservative is put into each
clean bottle to keep the milk from
souring, until testing day. Pulverlzed
potassium bichromate, corrosive SUD-
Innate, borax or preservaline can be
used for this purpose. Some of these
preservatives are put in tablet form,
each tablet containing the necessary
amount to use in one sample. After
each lot of milk is poured into the
factory weigh can. small amount OF
it is dipped from the can and poured
into the proper sample bottle. These
samples are usually taken with a
small one ounce tin dipper, samp-
ling tube, or from a drip in the con-
ductor spout.
Each lot of milk sampled must be
sweet, containing no clots, Jumps or
curdled milk. or small butter gran
ules. The sample should be taken
just as soon as the milk is weighed,
and while it is evenly mixed. Con-
tinue adding sample of each patrons
milk to his particular jar every time
he delivers milk for week of ten
days, then test this composite sample.
The composite sample jars should be
kept covered to prevent loss By evap-
oration, and in a cool dark place.
Every time new portion Of milk is
added to the jar it should be given a
horizontal rotary motion to mix the
cream already formed in the jar with
the milk. and to rinse off the cream
sticking to its side. Unless this is
done every time fresh portions OF
milk are added to the jar the cream
on the milk becomes lumpy and sticks
in patches to the side of the jar, thus
making it nearly impossible to even
ly distribute this cream through the
entire sample.
Composite samples having patches
cf dried cream on the inside Of the
Jar are the result of carelessnes or
ignorance on the part of the operator.
The test of the composite sample
takes the place Of separate daily
test and gives accurate information
regarding the average quality Of the
milk delivered by each patron during
the period of sampling. The weight
of butter fat which each patron
brought to the factory in his milk dur
ing this time is obtained by multiply
ing the total weight of milk delivered
during. the sampling period by the
test of the composite sample. divided

These are averages of the entire
herd, and show that during the four
years when receiving all they would
eat UP clean, they averaged 354 pounds
Of butter each, while the average yield
for 1894, when on comparatively
light feed, was only 271 pounds. The
cost of production was also the great
est that year. The kind of feed has
little, if anything, to do with the yield,
so long as they get the required nutri-
ents in the right proportion and in
palatable form. We get as much out
of fodder corn as we DO out of en-
silage, and as much from pound of pro-
tein in bran as from pound of pro-
tein in any other concentrate.
They give just a trife more milk
when receiving some succulent food,
such as roots and ensilage, but practi-
cally the same amount of butter or
other milk solids. We select the cheap
est foods and so mix them that the COW
gets about one pound of digestible pro-
tein to six pounds of carbohydrates. If
we should feed a much wider ration
that is, one that contained more car
bohydrates and carbohydrate equiva-
lent than the amount stated-she
would gradually lay on fat, shrink in
milk, and failure to breed would prob
ably follow; but when the above-men-
toned nutritive ration is maintained,
no such difficulties are encountered.
Our records show that radical
changes in feed during the winter are
Objectionable. as changes generally
cause shrinkage in milk. A more uni
form flow is maintained by feeding
the same ration in winter, if possible
IL it becomes necessary to make a
change it should be very gradual, so the
system can adjust itself to the varia-
ton in bulk and the muscular action re-
quired by the stomach to digest that
particular ration.

HIGH-PRICED BUTTER.
before 1t Reached the Consumer on
the Continent of Europe 1t Was
Worth So Pound

Not many people would be willing
to pay three or four dollars a pound
for butter if they lived where fairly
good butter was plenty at much
lower price. The editor of the Elgin
Dairy Report tells of a gentleman
visiting the Darlington creamery,
which has or had reputation of sell
ing its product at one dollar pound
While there he saw 20-pound pack
age put into large refrigerator case
and packed around with ice and
shipped to New York city. There it
would be re-iced and sent by the
steamer to an agent in London, who
would again repack it in ice and send
it to another party on the continent,
who would see that it was sent to the
consumer who had ordered it. The
expense of freight and packing would
scarcely be less than two or three
dollars per pound, besides the cost OF
one dollar a pound at the creamery
Such butter is only produced by good
cows, given good food and care, and
with also good care in regard to alb
solute cleanliness in stables, dairy
room and utensils and purity of the
air and water which comes in con-
tact with it. Not every one can make
butter that will sell for so cents or
one dollar ponud, but many could
improve greatly on their product and
on the price they OBTAIN for it if
they would take a little more pains
in these respects. And when they do
so we may see dairy butter regular
ly quoted as high or higher than that
from the creamery.

A VENTILATOR SHAFT.
gested Not Long Ago by the KAN
Sas Experiment station.

The experience Of some dairymen
reminds me Oft storya blacksmith used
to tell OF an acquaintance of his, who
said that he stabbed his horses in a
barn so open that you could throw a
cat through it anywhere, they never
had anything the matter with them;
but after awhile he felt able to build
more to his notion, and in the new
building the frost covered the inside.
and his horses always were in diff
culties.
Wen, it is the old story-so long as
the cows are stabbed in the open shed
and are reasonably cared for, no
trouble is experienced, but when they
