and wild pigeons drinking salt water.
l was stationed at a place called Ka-
baira, the then 'farthest out trading
station on the whole island, and as |
had but little work to do | found
plenty of time to study bird life in the
vicinity. Parrots of several varieties,
all of beautiful plumage, were plenti-
full, and great flocks OF white cocka-
toos frequeEted the rolling, grassy
downs which lay between my home
and the German head station in
Blanche bay, twenty miles distant,
while the heavy frost of the littoral
was the haunt of thousands of pigeons.
These pigeons, though not so large as
the Samoan or eastern P~olynesian bird,
formed IN agreeable change of diet for
us white traders, and by walking about
fifty yards from ones door half a
dozen or more could be shot in as
many minutes.
MY nearest neighbor was a German,
and one day when we were walking
along the beach toward his station |
noticed some hundreds of pigeons fly
down from the forest. settle on the
margin of the water and drink with

this spot being almost l~andlocked and
the water as smooth as glass and with
out the faintest ripple. the birds were
enabled to drink without wetting their
plumige. My neighbor, who had lived
many years in New Britain, told me
that this drinking of sea water was
common to both cockatoos and pigeons
alike, and that on some occasions the
beaches would be lined with them, the
cockatoos not only drinking, but tath-
ing, and apparently enjoying them
selves greatly. During the next six
months, especially when the weather
was calm and rainy, l frequently no.
ticed pigeons and cockatoos come to the
salt water to drink.
"At first l thought that as fresh
water in many places dubbed up
through the sand at low tide the birds
were not really drinking the sea water,
but by watching closely | distinctly
saw them walk across these tiny run
nels without making any attempt to
drink. Then, too, the whole Of the
Gazelle peninsula is cut up by count
less streams of water. and rain falls
throughout the year as a rule. VIA
causes this unusual habit of drinking
sea water? Another popularity of the
New Britain and New Ireland pigeon
is it's fondness for the chill pepper
berry. During three months OF the
year, when these berries are ripe, the
birds crops are full of them, and often
their flesh is so pungent and smells SO
strongly of the chilli as to be quite un-
eatable. "-Chambers' Journal.

FAULTS IN BUTTER.
4 Practical Man Tells the Methods
He Employs to Avoid Them.

Dan Blazer, in an address before the
Wisconsin Butter Makers association,
tnid:
Let us bear in mind, first, that milk
Is naturally a pure product, and if it
Is found to be unclean chances are that
it is not the fault of the COW. Some
person is to blame, either the one who
cares for the COW or the II who han
dies the milk. In order to make a fine
favored butter the milk must be in
first class condition when taken into
the creamery. There are some, how
ever, who get good milk and then can
not make a first class article of butter.
OF such it must be said the fault is not
In the milk, but in the man or his tools.
II the buttermaker has his creamery
disinfected with antiseptic, which is
applied muscle and brush, he can in
that way prevent the development of
foreign germ life. The cream should
be ripened by giving it the desired
amount of acid and no more. l churn
the cream at so c. c., at a temperature
of "a to sc degrees.
We have many complaints that the
butter comes soft at q temperature of
"a to SO degrees. My experience with
different churns has been that in the
process Of churning the temperature
runs higher. varying from 2 to 5 de-
grees. My way of testing the churn is
to put about the same amount of wa
ter as | have cream to churn, take the
temperature and churn about as long
as | do the cream, then take the tenn
perature again, and this tells me the
temperature the cream should be when
put into the churn.
The sailing and working the butter
is another important matter. Many
butter makers hold to the theory that
the quicker it is stated and worked so
much the better will be the quality of
the product. This is a mistake. The
salt must have time Is do it's work.
Work the butter aboYt a minute, then
let it stand about fifteen; after this
take out a sample IN Il ladle, examine
it closely. and you will find a drop of
buttermilk AMI water hanging to each
kernel of salt. Work it again for an
other minute and let it stand another
fifteen; then take out a chunk, and
you will fad that the drop of butter
milk and water has increased in size.
Butter should be worked about five
minutes and rot to exceed one minute
at any time. BY this method the salt
has plenty of time to do its work and
take the most of the unnecessary but
termilk and water cut of the butter.
In the matter of rancid butter my eX-
perience teaches me that the trouble
lies in the butter containing too much
buttermilk and being poorly packed.
The causes Of notifies are many. They
may be caused by not properly strain
ing the cream. Another cause is wash
ing the butter with water which is not
of the same temperature as the butter.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1902-11-14

If we were to raise q heifer calf to
make a dairy cow, the first thing would
be to select the calf from some cow
that was productive of milk or butter,
whichever we decided that we wished
to make u main product. We would
want the sire of the calf a pure bred
animal from a family that was produc-
tive in the same line. If we could have
the COW also pure bred, we should like
it better, and often men who have such
good cows. keeping them because they
like a good COW. and not caring to
raise up a herd, are willing to sell the
calves at a nominal price or even to
give them away.
Probably the best Jersey COW that
ever stood in Massachusetts was given
away as a calf. as the party who
owned her mother did not want to
raise a calf. And the man who did
raise her refused $1,000 for her.
If we could be sure that the COW was
well nourished while she was carrying
the calf, but not kept too fat. it would
suit us all the better, for we eliev
that the calf can be stunted by poor
nourishment before birth as well as
afterward.
We never want to see a paunchy or
pot bellied calf. We like the cow to
have a capaciOus body that she may
have plenty of room for her food, but it
is time enough to develop that when
she begins raising calves. If the calf
gets too large a belly. we think it
checks the growth. We want to build
UP the framework first, then put on the
flesh and spread out the form.
We liked when we kept Jersey cows
to have them come fresh when from
eighteen to twenty-one months old.
The Holstein and the beef breeds
might well be left a little longer,
though we would not return to the old
custom that prevailed when we were
young Of not allowing a heifer to drop
her calf until three years old. 1t is
true that some of those three-year-olds
were not as large or as mature as the
heifers are now at half that age. but If
they CHANGED to have a fairly good pas
ture they would put on fat, to the loss
Of milk production. They were kept
three years without yielding any prof.
it, and many of them did not in the
next three either. They were scarcely
good for ten quarts of milk a day OF
$50 pounds of butter in a year.-Amer
lean Cultivator.
Don't Sell Best Calves.
The high price for meat results II
the feeding Of many calves for thu
butcher. At such times it is quite 6
profitable business, but it should bt
properly pursued. Farmers should no.
be induced to sell their most promising
heifer calves for this purpose even Al
good prices, for they should be wortl
much more on the farm for cows. or, II
not all are wanted, they would sell very
readily either as heifers or cows II
those whs desire superior stock.
