Minnesota Butter in Europe.

A press dispatch from St. Paul.
Minnesota, says: Minnesota butter is
good enough to compete with Danish
butter in British markets even after
the influences of long sea voyage. 1t
has done so in the past, and will prob
ably do so again, according to State
Creamery Inspector B. D. White OF
the state dairy and food department.
Mr.. White recently returned from at
tendance at the monthly tests at Chi
cagO, held under the auspices OF the
department OF agriculture, at which he
assisted IL the scoring of butter. Mr..
White says that butter has been
shipped from Minnesota at various
times in the past and has competed
successfully with the best Danish but
ter put upon the English markets
Four years ago firms at Albert Lea con-
Quoted a regular export trade and
their entire supply found ready sale
in English markets. The demand
grew as the English consumers be-
came acquainted with the Minnesota
product, but the trade did not flourish
long, as the prices at home rose to such
an extent that it was more profitable
to sell the product on the home mar
ket. Since then the prices have kept
so high that the trade has not been re-
sumed, although the Minnesota firms
handling the product have had repeat
ed requests from British dealers for a
resumption Of the trade. while the
present prices for butter hold ont"
said Mr.. White, there will be no re-
sumption of the trade. If the market
goes down to a point that admits Of
shipping at a profit Minnesota tuttsr
will find it's way into a renewed pop
ularity in English markets"
The Farmers Review has repeatedly
pointed out this condition, under
which it is impossible to build up and
hold butter market in Europe.

Value of SjIaoe.

The great value of silage IS its sue
culence. Foods lose in value as they
lose succulence. This quality once lost
is lost forever. The corn that dries
in the field has the same chemical
constituents in its dry form that it
had in it's green form, but it has lost
some succulence and is not therefore
so valuable as it was in it's original
state The fermenting of the stover
renders 1t more digestible. This is
illustrated by the experience of the
dairymen that feed silage the year
around. They find that when the sill
age gives out in the summer and they
have to turn to feeding corn stalks
green there Is a decided falling off in
the quantity of milk made. To rem
edy this some of -irymen are
building enough silos to hold a large
enough quantity of silage so that they
can have well fermented silage to feed
the year around and not have to feed
silage newly put into the silos.

His Sympathy.

A Chicago lady who had a birthday
recently received as a present from
one of her friends $40 bill. Accom-
panying the money was a note in
which the writer, after explaining
that she couldn't think of anything
tasteful to buy and had therefore
sent the cash, made some tender ref
erences to bygone days and dear old
scenes. While the recipient was sit
ting with the bill in one hand and the
letter in the other, and permitted
tears to drip down upon both, her lit
tie son went up to her and, putting
his arms around her neck, tenderly
asked:
Whats the matter, mamma? Isn't
the money good?"

The kasaska Duck.

This very handsome bird is a native
OF Asia and is one of the few large
ducks, being as large as soma OF the
smaller breeds of geese, and consider
ably larger than the Labrador duck,
writes Ira w. Shaw in American Pou1-
try Advocate. The female is a trifie
smaller than the drake, but not nearly
SO great as in the Muscovies. They
always go in pairs and during the
laying and Matching season the drake
watches over the duck witA much So
licitude, following her constantly
wherever sn- may go. Wien domesti-
Gated they feed much the .amc as 9TH
er ducks, but in addition require some
grass. In their native haunts they
make their nests on the ground under
some small bush or in the tall wild
grass and rushes. The eggs, never
more than six in number, are pure
white and round with very thin shells.
The period of incubation is the same
as in our common domestic breeds of
ducks While they have very hand
some plumage, this is secondary to
their general carriage and Soaring,
which is elegance itself, and whether
swimming or posing on a nee lawn
they are objects of admiration to all
observers. AS in the case with all our
wild and parti-co1ored domestic ducks,
the drake is more brilliantly attired
than the female. The co1ors running
through shades of grey, green. red and
black; bill black and legs and feet
grey. During the breeding aeason
they have the quarrelsome trai1 of
the Muscovies, but this slieiht eault
does not in any way bar cut COM
mendation of the Kasaska rs worthy
a place among the many hs.+sfisome
and valued aquatic fowls.

Increase of siios

Reports from New York say that q
good. many new si1os are being erected
in that state. The farmers are COM
ing to appreciate the advantages of
having on hand a good supply of nu-
tritious feed at all times of the year.
The drouth of last year that so seri-
ously cut short the summer pastures
was lesson to those that are willing
to trust to luck whether they have
anything for their cows to eat or not.
The silo is an insurance against short
supplies of feed One of the great adj
vantages of it is that a rood crop one
year may be stored and held over for
years without detriment to its feeding
quality. As the use of silos becomes
more general we will have more and
more the practice of storing for years
in advance of need. In this way the
feeder may render himself indepen-
dent of the accidents of weather, and
the supply of dairy products will be-
come uniform. AS it is at the present
time only the best managed dairies
have abundant feed the year round.

Chicago, July 15.-The faint hope OF q

that the other roads might prove less
firm, for it had been repeatedly stated
that the roads would take identical ae-

Wabash and the Wisconsin Central roads
told the committees to return later in
the day. 1t was believed the delay was
wanted in order that conferences might
