Protect the Cows from Fire.

All dairy barns, creameries and the
like should be as amply as possible
protected against fire. This may be
done in several ways. If no better
way appears to the mind of the own
er. he should have a shelf construct
ed In the barn and on it keep a num-
Der of pals full of water and ready
to use at a moments notice. Ere
quently fires get beyond control be-
cause the means are not at hand for
extinguishing them in their incipient
stage. Where farmers have wind
mills and elevated tanks that give
good pressure to the water the ar
engagements for fighting fire can be Of
the best, but will of course cost
something. Water pipes should be
laid to convenient points and hose
made ready. The fire may never
come, but it is a comfortable feeling
to know that II 1t comes it will get
cold reception. Where animals are
kept tied or locked up and beyond
possible escape from the flames IRE
cautions against fire should certainly
be taken.

Farm separators In Australia.

1t is interesting to note the favor
with which the farm separator is re-
ceived abroad. where it is being used
in increasing numbers. In Australia
the little machines are being largely
used In Victoria alone there are now
owned and operated on the farms
400 separators. According to the
last report of Hon. John Morrisy, min.
lister of agriculture of Victoria, the
use of the machines has increased as
follows: 1886. 33; 1887, So; 1888, 1OS:
1889. 1855; 1890. 23s; 1891. 445; 1897,
2.125: 1888, 2.7s9, 1899, 3446. There
are about 10000 farmers in Victoria
supplying milk to creameries, and of
these at least Al per cent separate the
cream on their own farms

The Ferments in MIX.

changes to the undesirable kind, II
Will then require skill. At our school
our bacteriologist made a number OF
tests to determine the kind OF bac-
terra that milk contains during the
different months Of the year. In
March when 1t Is quite difficult to
make fine butter. 100 samples from
different patrons milk were taken.
Only 12A per cent showed pure acid
flavor; 48 per cent impure acid flavor
and 1914 per cent rapid decomposi-
ton of the curd. Samples taken April
Sth showed so per cent pure acid ia
vor; 27.7 impure acid flavor, and 1913
rapid decomposition of the curd. In
April we found decided improvement
in the kind of bacteria present. Sam
pies taken May 10 showed 80 per cent
pure acid flavor and 10 per cent I'M
pure. This largely explains why 1t is
easy to get good fayors at some times
OF the year and not at other times.
Samples taken in June and July
showed about the same results as
May. Now If we could get our patrons
to exercise more care in regard to
cleanliness, lot of this trouble might
be obviated. Still at certain periods
makers will have to combat undesir-
able lamentations.

Control the Water in Butter.

A government bulletin says that
the presence of salt, the size of the
butter granules and the hardness of
the butter are factors exerting an in
fuence on the amount of water In the

sired, as for export. these principles
may have considerable practical i'm
portance. BY churning cream at a
low temperature and continuing the
churning until the granules were as
large as peas, washing for about
thirty minutes with water at As de-
grees to 4S degrees, and working
twice. the Iowa station secured but
ter containing as low as 6.72 per cent
of water. OF thirty-two analyses Of
samples of butter made in this way,
seven showed less than per cent

No Poultry and EGG Trust.

There has been talk about a poultry
and egg trust. The thing is an abb
surdity at the present time, though 1t
may become a possibility in the fu-
ture, If there shall ever rise a trust
in farm lands. The cry of a trust was
based on the probable fact that the
packing companies had bought up
large quantities of poultry and eggs
and had stored them for a rise. It
was simply speculation on a big
scale. The owners of fiocks of hens
are numbered by the millions and are
too numerous to have their product
controlled. Besides, under the stim-
illus of high prices to the farmers
the number Of fowls in the country
could easily be doubled in a single
year. Unfortunately at the present
time it seems probable that the pro-
ducers of poultry are not getting the
benefit Of the high prices being paid
by the consumers of poultry and
poultry products. II that be so, then
the high prices the consumers are
paying will not stimulate production,
and the present very unsatisfactory
state Of things will continue. We
would like to hear from our readers
as to the prices they are at the pres
ent time receiving for their poultry
and poultry products and a statement
as to the prices they have received
in past years.

Cause Of scabies or Mango.

Scabies. or mango, of the OK is
contagious disease caused by a para
site mite. Cattle are chiefly affected
with but two varieties of these para
sites, or mites, which belong to the
class Arachnoidea. These are, first,
the Psoroptes: second, the Symbiotes.
Inc arst Is the one which most fire.
Quently affects them. 1t lives on the
surface of the skin and gives rise to
great irritation and itching by biting.
and Is most frequent upon the sides
OF the neck and shoulders, at the base
OF the horns. and at the root of the
tall. From these points it spreads to
the back and sides, and may invade
nearly the entire body. It's principal
manifestations are more or less nu-
merous pimples, emulation, and abun-
dant scaling off Of the skin, falling out
OF the hair, and the formation OF dry
gray-brownish scabs. In the course of
time the skin becomes thickened, stiff,
wrfnkled, and acquires the consist
ence OF leather. When mango has
spread over a large surface of the
body, the animals lose flesh and be-
come weak and anemic, rendering
them constitutionally less able to
Withstand or combat the effects of the
mites. At the same time the de-
creased vigor and lessened vitality of
the affected animals favor the more
rapid multiplication of the mites and
the further extension and intensified
ton of the disease. Thus we have
cause and effect working together,
with the result that scabies, or mango,
In cattle may in some cases prove IA
tai; especially are fatal examinations
liable to occur in the latter part of a
severe winter among immature and
growing animals, or those of adult and
fun age, when in an unthrifty condi-
ton at the time of becoming infected.
There have been noticed variations In
the progress of the disease depending
upon extreme seasons-aggravation
In winter alternating with improve
ment in summer.-Buletin 1872, Depart

the regular farm work and to carry
on tillage as It should be done. Prac-
ucally the oily supply of horses is
from other states; yet this state Is
quite able to supply its full needs and
could have to spare for demands else
where. The work lies with the farm
ers themselves, not only to increase
the number of working horses but to
improve them and make them more
serviceable
By using the better grade Of mares
for breeding purposes and having the
service OF some pure-bred sire Of some
draft or coach breed of good type and
conformation, 1t would be but short
time until the character of the whole
horse stock were changed into bet
ter and improved one. Good draft
and coach stations can be secured for
about five hundred dollars. Several
farmers could purchase a stallion of
the type desired, and there could be
engaged several mares for the first
season at moderate charge for SER
vice which would pay not only a high
rate for money invested but would go
long ways for paying the full cost.
