as the Oral mountains have been

cattle and dairying, and this impress
sion is confirmed if one gets a chance
to examine the soil which is Of the
same rich, black kind known in the
European Russia Herds of several
hundred head of cattle are frequently
seen and the impression is that dairy
ing must be prominent
The Russian government has also
commenced to understand that it has
a gold mine in Siberia and has taken
steps to utilize it, but to a stranger 1t
will seem as IL the cart was being put
before the horse by establishing re-
frigerator trains for export instead OF
first improving the production The
lecturer attended one of the great
dairy exhibitions held every third
year, this time in Kurgan, TobOlsk-
There were 400 frkins of butter, fresh
and preserved, shown, and not
single perfect or simply good could be
found among the fresh samples and as
to the preserved the smell was enough
to prevent him tasting it. The main
blame he lays on the dairy instructors
OF course there are exceptions but a.
a rule. he did believe them to be COM
petent and he mentions a sample of
fresh butter made by an instructor to
which had ben added several pounds
of sugar. When this is done by an
instructor what can be expected from
the rank and file? MOI first of all ex-
pert instructors are needed. 1t must
be remembered what kind of people
it is who handle the milk They are
on a very low plain of civilization,
they have even deemed the centrifu-

Gods punishment for the introduction
of these machines.
Cleanliness, the foundation of dairy

These are both individual and CO.

has been demonstrated that the CO.
operative creameries make the best

premiums at the show. A peculiar
thing is that but seldom is mechanical
power used to run the separators;
as a rule they are run by hand. Every
patron has his separator by which his
milk is separated at the creamery
q That is great bother and
loss of power is evident, but the rea-
son is that human power is cheap and

origin of Buff wyandottes.

Bulletin 81, of the Department OF
Agriculture, says: There has been
considerable contention about the
question of priority of production. of
this variety. From all information at
hand the Indications are in favor of
George H. Brackenbury. OF Auburn,
N Y, as the pioneer, with DR.. Al
bridge and r. G. Burlington. of Fall
River, Mass, close seconds These
two distinct lines were produced under
different methods. One was formed
from Wyandotte-Buf Cochin cross;
the other came through the Rhode
Island Red-Wyandotte cross Other
strains came from different crosses
all aiming for the same end, but each
using separate rule of procedure
The New York strain of Buff Wyan-
dottes was produced from the union of
Wyandotte males and Buff Cochin fe-
males This strain is largely Cochin
in blood and form, in color of wings
and tail, and in surface color, and is
the best of any of the early productions
The amalgamation of this and the other
strains improved all and gave them
the start toward their present per
lection of form and color. The Buff
Wyandotte is nearer related to the
Asiatic family than any of the older
Wyandotte varieties, as the latter were
crossed again upon the Cochin to gain
the desired color. The original Fall
River strain ESQ called) came as the
result of an unguided cross of Silver
Laced Wyandottes and Rhode Island
Reds. The Rhode Island Red, a cross
bred farm fowl. in union with the
Wyandottes, which were placed among
the Reds to advance their value as
market poultry, gave a product that
was nodded into the proper form and
color for the Buff Wyandotte The
Rhode Island Red was largely de-
scended from the early Asiatics, and
thus gave renewed strength to these
later blood lines. and adding to, rath-
er than detracting from, the tendency
toward Asiatic form.
