War on Milk Preservatives.

Borax and various other chemicals
are used in the preservation of meats
and some other foods. Generally the
argument for their use is that they
preserve the foods and do not iEjure
the eaters, as they are used in small
quantities. This may or may not be
true, but it is true that in milk no
preservation should be used. The
agent of a borax preservative COM
pany once called on the Farmers Re-
.iew and protested against the com
slant attacks on the preservatives by
the Farmers Review. He claimed
that he could prove that when used to
preserve bacon preservatives of the
borax kind were not harmful. He was
asked how about milk?" He said
that no preservatiye should be used in
milk and that his company had free
ly said that milk was not a food arti-
Gle that should be preserved by borax
or anything else. Yet borax is being
constantly sold for the preservation
of milk. Invalids and children are
the principal sufferers. This is from
two reasons. First, they are weaker
than vigorous adults; second they use
far larger quantities of milk. The
milkman that uses preservatives in
milk does an act that approaches the
criminal.-Farmers' Review.

One Way Of Getting Good Butter.
s. E. Oaks: 1t has been and is now
in the majority of gathered creameries
the custom to make poor grade OF
butter, and it is generally caused by
poor manager and poor board of d1-
rectors. 1t does not make any diner
ence how good a buttermaker may
be in the creamery, he can not make
good butter from poor cream. But
if he is backed by the board OF direc-
tors and they will let him grade the
cream, he can then make good butter
In order to grade the cream properly
he should have vats enough so he can
have one to put the poor cream in and
should have a small tank in the wash
room for the drivers to put rinsings
of their cans in, and also to rinse
their floats in He should not let
them rinse them over the cream watts
as they do in some factories 1 visited
last summer You should find out
right away where the poor cream IS
coming from and go and tell the pat
ron how to care for it. and until he
does take good care of it and keep
it sweet so that it will not be ''of
flavor" he should be docked from Is
per cent to 20 per cent of the cream.
Do not take this off all the patrons by
putting all the cream together and
making a poor grade of butter and
getting low price for it, but make
two grades of butter and get the high
est price for the best and get as much
for the poorer grade as most of the
creameries get for their butter

What Do Your Cows Paw Your

A creameryman of the Elgin dis
trict made the statement that among
his patrons were some who did not
now and never had realized more than
$35 as an average per year from each
of the cows of their herds. He told of
one patron who takes the trouble to
keep an account of the feed he gives
his COWS and the receipts from milk
and his average is s35. One other pa
tron, who has none but common cows,
realized no more than the above sum
on his cows until he decided to ac-
cept the advice of the creameryman
on the care and feed he should give
them. He was one of those patrons
who, if he wanted to stay in town un-
til 10 O'Clock at night he did so, and
tie feeding of his half dozen cows
wes done after he got home. He had
no particular knowledge about feed
ing, but when he finally came to be-
neve that he could make money by
following the creameryman's advice,
he went to work to learn and do his
work properly. He succeeded in
bringing his common cows up to be-
ing $55 instead of $35 cows.-Chicago

His Splendid Record as Admiral OF
United States Navy.

United States Navy.
Rear Admiral James E. Jouett, U. S.
N, retired, died at his home, the
Anchorage Sandy Spring, Md. last
week. He was IA years old and had a
long and distinguished career. He
was retired in 1890.
Rear Admiral James E. JOuett,
Fighting JIM Jouett, was born at
Lexington KY, Feb. 81, 1928. He en-
tered the navy as a midshipman in
1841. His brilliant career really be-
gan on the night of Nov. II, 1861,
when as lieutenant of the United
States frigate Santee, he led hazard
Gus boat expedition against the con-
federate warship Royal Yacht, off Gal
weston, Texas. He captured and des-
troyed the Royal Yacht, and in the
hand-to-hand encounter on her decks.
when he and his gallant men boarded
her, he received a severe pike wound
in the arm and side.
Jouett was made a captain in 1874,
a commodore in 1883 and a rear
admiral Feb. 10, 1856. In 1885, while
in command of the naval forces on the

Oats for Fowls.

We notice that a contemporary says
that wheat is undoubtedly the best
grain for poultry. We must diner
from that opinion. We believe the
grain most adapted to the develop
ment of chicks is oats. 1t is indeed
true that birds have to be accustomed
to eat oats before they will eat them
constantly and in large quantities, but
once accustomed to them they eat
them with great avidity. Naturally
fowls prefer corn to oats. But habit
reverses this preference The writer
remembers one case where he had
kept oats from his hens for some
days. They had been accustomed to
that grain for months When oats
were again given it was in the form
of a mixture of corn and oats. 10
his surprise the hens picked OUT tne
oats in preference to the corn, eating
the latter only after the oats had dis
appeared. One objection raised against
oats is that they sometimes puncture
with their sharp points the tender
membrane in the crops of young Dlros
and even pass through the skin. Inc
writer fed oats for years and never ex-
perienced any such mishap with MS
poultry. 1t might be possible in case
half-starved birds were fed oats and
then watered. But oats should be
kept before the fowls all the time, ana
they should be permitted to pick at
them at their leisure. They never
then eat too many. In addition to the
nutriment in the oats there seems to
be a stimulant which the scientists
call avoine. This is thought to be a
valuable part of the oat as feed.

Stable Disinfection.

The disinfection of stables after q
period of constant use should be part
of routine practice. Dairy stables in
particular should be disinfected twice
a year and oftener if the conditions
demand it. 1t is not possible to give
many stables that thorough disinfec-
tion that is possible in houses, because
their construction will not admit OF
it, but it is possible to do very much
and at little expense.
The ideal method of disinfection is
by means of a gas as that would
have the power to penetrate every
where The effectiveness OF TINS
method depends upon securing a large
volume of gas and maintaining 1t 1or
some time Unless the stable can
be made tight, gas will be OF nttie
use For all practical purposes the
gas produced by burning sulphur over
a pot of Goals is the best if used in
connection with steam The dry sui
phur fumes have little germ killing
power, but when combined with the
steam in the air it forms a compound
that is deadly. The boiling of water
and burning of sulphur should go to-
gether Formaldehyde gas is not so
efficient for stable disinfection as
many would have us believe. A very
practical. means of disinfection that
may be used under almost every
stable condition is by whitewashing.
This is not expensive for material
and is very easily applied by means
of an inexpensive fruit spray pump.
The lime should be thoroughly Stacked
and strained through cloth and made
just thin enough to work well through
the nozzle. One man can apply two
coats of whitewash with a pump and
reach all parts OF side and ceiling OF
a room in about one-fourth the time
required with the brush. Whitewash
Will kill or hold the germs with which
it comes in contact. 1t has the erect
too of making the barn lighter and
cleaner. After the first spraying, one
application will usually be sufhc1ent
| if given regularly. AS the business OF
| supplying milk to cities and creamer-
| les is OF large proportions and de-
pends upon cleanliness, this precau-
ton of dislnfection should be regu-

Rejects the Starvation Remedy.
In a paper read at the last meeting
Of the American-Poland-C China Record
Association, held at Cedar Rapids. Ia.
Mr.. H. L. Sweet said. relative to the
effect of judicious diet on fecundity.
There is no hard and fast rule to be
laid down regarding the treatment of
the brood SOW. The method to be pur-
sued is to be determined largely by
the condition of the animal herself.
When l purchased Lady Louise in the
fall of 1900. 1 suppose very few of the
breeders who were gathered around
the sale ring at that time believed
that she would prove a breeder.
and, in fact, 1 think she is the only
one of that litter of fine sows sold at
that time who actually dAl breed
brought her home, and so far from
starving her fed her all she cared to
eat, the ration consisted of ground
oats. middlings and skinned milk.
She was allowed to run tn a lot and
provided with bed in one of the A
shaped houses used by SO many breed
ers. She was bred about December l.,
and the latter part of March farrowed
nine healthy, active pigs, one of which
was accidentally killed when a few
days old. The rest lived to be six
months old, when one was killed by
accident The SOW was resold to MI.
Winn. and it is fresh in the minds of
all of you how readily she was refitted
for show, and how successfully. l be-
Heve thoroughly that this SOW could
not have been successfully fitted the
second time had she been subjected to
the starvation treatment as a method
OF reducing her flesh, and 1 also be-
Heve that her young were stronger
and more vigorous as a result of her
liberal feeding.

No good thing is a success unless
looked after. 1t is no argument
against hand separators to say that
unless they are taken care of they
will in year or so become unservice-
able. One man urges against them
that he has known people that did not
wash their separators more than once
a week, and that in the meantime
the separators were a point of multi
plicatson for all kinds of ferments and
perhaps disease germs that got into
them. But no agent of a hand sepa-
rator would want to sell hand sep
arator IT he supposed the buyer would
use SO little intelligence in its care

chaos as regards our dairy matters,
and it is only slowly that we are
working into condition of order.
But we do not believe that the hand
separator is at all the cause of dis
order.

New Stock and Disease.

Every farmer should realize the risk
he takes when he imports into his flock
stock from other focks. Contagious
diseases are almost always brought In
this way. There are some f1ocks that
are free from lice and mites as well
as of disease. When a farmer has Sc
cured this condition of things he
should go very slow about increasing
the number of his fowls through pur-
chase. lit is therefore best to increase
the flock through raising the birds.
This may take longer than to increase
it by purchase, but it will give big
ger profit. 1t is not uncommon to
have a whole flock swept away by
some malady introduced through care
less purchase of new birds. Inc
writer had a poultry house that had
been free from lice and mites for
years. He regarded it quite wonder
full that he had completely exter-
minated the red mites. But in an un-
guarded moment he purchased the en-
tire flock of a man about to move
away. The result was that the red
mites were introduced and caused
more loss to the original flock than
the whole purchased flock was worth.

full power of production short of three

important Points in Poultry Care.

Important Points in Poultry Care.
Clealiness is essential to success
with poultry. Young chicks should
not be allowed to eat stale or sour
foods. The drinking vessels or foun-
tains should be watched closely, and
should be always kept full of pure
water. Keep them free from bad odors
by scalding with hot water occasion
ally. AS the fowls approach Maturity
food should be given them in such
manner that they will take exercise.
Plenty of straw or leaves should be
put in their houses, and little grain
of some kind scattered therein several
times a day to keep them scratching.
Be careful not to overfeed or they will
become too fat and will not lay.
Avoid feeding too much corn in the
warm months of the year. During the
winter months it can be fed in the
evening, as it supplies more warmth
than any other food. For morning
feed alternate soft mash with wheat
or oats. Give also an occasional feed
of vegetables either raw or cooked.
They will be beneficial and much rel
ished by the fowls.-J. r. Brabazon.

In sehaIr of Mich Goats.

H. S. Homes Pegler, secretary OF the

the Book of the Goat" says: In
France the subject of goats and tuber-

Professor Nocard stated some seven
or eight years since that out of 10000
goats and kids brought to Paris for
slaughter at the shambles of La Viii
lette every spring, the meat inspectors
of that city failed to discover single
case of tuberculosis. He even added
that incubation fails to introduce the
fatal bacillus into the system of tho
goat, although 1 believe the statement
has since been questioned; anyway,
have been told by veterinary authori-
ties in this country that attempts
made in England have failed. Goats
milk as a diet for children has many
advantages over cows milk, as l have
often demonstrated, but this one great
virtue transcends all others, and 1t Is
inconceivable that parents knowing
this, and having the opportunities and
accommodation for goat-keeping,
should not avail themselves of SO
simple and economical a means of at
once providing their children with the
most easily digestible and most nour-
ishing of food, and safeguarding them
from one OF the greatest evils tndt CIV
ilization of the present day is sub

Cheese of Pasreurized Milk in Sweden
A United States consul in Sweden
says: Cheese of pasteurized milk has
lately been considered almost impos-
sible to produce, and dairymen have
been at a loss how to use the churn
milk, which has been sold as feed for
pigs or thrown away. A short time
ago, a chemist at Stockholm-Dr-
F'rans Elander-succeeded in effect
ing a preparation that solved the
aforementioned difficulties. Owing
to this discovery, which has been
named "caseol," palatable and nour-
ishing cheese, free of tubercular bacil-
Ii, can now be made from pasteurized
skim milk This preparation has,
moreover, the excellent quality of
rendering cheese more digestible
Several dairies in London have made
experiments with caseol, with the
same favorable. result. l will gladly
procure samples of caseol for any of
our dairymen who may desire to
make trials with it.
