Dairy Notes.

Whether cheesemaking or butter
making be best for community must
depend on the use being made in that
community Of the by-products Of milk.
When there is no profitable way of
using skimmilk the whole milk can be
made into cheese. Where the milk
can be fed to calves, pigs or poultry,
butter making is profitable. Butter
making does not impoverish farm If
the skinned milk is fed to farm ami
mails, and in that way returned to the
land. In cheesemaking the nitrogen
and phosphorus are sold OF the farm.
Bad milk can be produced without
the producer being aware of it. There
is difference between cleanliness and
supposed cleanliness. The methods
that have been handed down to us are
considered except where the light OF
science is turned on them. Then they
are found full of faults. The unin-
structed dairyman milks his cows in
a barn that has not been cleaned out
for twelve hours. The air is heavy
with bad odors. He is careful to have
the milk clean and when it is drawn
nothing but white froth covers the
tops of the pals. But when he has
milked one COW he hangs the pail OF
milk on a peg behind the COWS and
goes to milking another cow. Thought
lessness is the cause of the milk being
left in the uncovered pail behind the
cows. But all of this time the milk
already drawn is taking in odors from
the stench-laden atmosphere around it
High-favored butter will never be
| made from that milk.

STORY OF PRINCE HENRY.

How Jealous hut Ignorant Minor
Omcisi Was Taken Down.
Prince Henry of Prussia, according
to story told by a diplomat who was
once attached to the British embassy
in Berlin, was one day chatting with
an English friend in a cafe in Bonn,
when he became an object of suspi-
sion to a minor official. The prince Is
too discreet a man to discuss affairs
of state in a public place, but on this
occasion some subject arose which,
while not of general interest, related
to the imperial family. The conver-
sation was in English, and the spy
ing official was acquainted with that
language. At length Prince Henry
remarked:
"Why, my dear fellow, don't you see
that the emperor would be even era
zier than some people seem to believe
he is if he did anything like that?"
The official leaned toward his royal
highness and said:
"Sir, are you aware that there is q
lese majestic law in this country? Let
me hear another remark of that kind
and l make complaint against you.

One Of the many friends of DR.. James
M. Buckley, editor of the Christian
Advocate, was telling stories the
other day of that gentleman's' ready
wit, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press At the last session of the New
York East Conference, DR.. Buckley
was on his feet every minute or two
to discover some phase Of question
or to make a witty remark.
On one occasion minister was
speaking of Wesleyan university.

right or left bank of the Connecticut,
which is it?'' THAT depends" re-
piled Dr. Buckley, whether you are
going up or down the river"
One minister took exception to the
frequency with which DR. Buckley ad-
dressed the conference. He said: "The
young men always vote as the doctor
talks, and it isn't fair" After long
tribute to DR.. Buckley's intelligence
the man sat down. DR.. Buckley was
on his feet in an instant to say: This
man has been talking on only two
subjects, himself and myself and
am heartily sick of both of them
The doctor won his point, and talked
as long and as often as he pleased.

"Do you see that little gray mon

Lover. one of the keepers of the Zoo..
as he put his hand tenderly in be-.

monkey used to belong to an organ
grinder, who one day got full and fell
in a drunken stupor on the railroad
track between Manayunk and Bala.'
The monkey sat on the organ beside
him, waiting patiently for him to come

whistle. 1t was an express train, still
half mile away, but advancing rap
idly. With almost human intelligence,
the monkey tore the red bandanna
handkerchief from his masters neck,
leaped boldly into the middle of the
track and tagged the train. The en-

could hardly believe his eyes when he
saw that he had been tagged by q

The .Jersey Men Protest.

From Farmers Review: In large
number of agricultural journals as wen
as In the Associated Press dispatches
to the daily papers, there recently ap-
peared q report of the test of Hol-
stein COW at the Minnesota Experiment
Station, wherein the yield of milk was
584 lbs. in seven days. and from wnlcn
1t was calculated by Babcock test that
20 lbs. 81 OF. of butter might have
been produced. Upon this record the
claim Is based that the worlds butter
record has been broken"
believe it Is customary when an In
dividual (be he COW, horse or man)
holds record for performance in any
line. to concede him the championship
until some other individual shows
better performance in the same line.
And inasmuch as the COW, for whom
the worlds record is claimed in this
test, made no butter whatever, think
it due the present holder of the cham
pionship to contest the claim. 1t
would be just as consistent to deprive
a trotting champion of his record by
comparing it with one made by gal
A0ROA VI " SIO0Ic q AOW AAAAS ASSOA "a
by estimating the time from that made
in furlong squirt. The Holstetn COW
did not make butter record any more
than the runner makes pacing record.
But there is another and more OBJ
vious reason why this is not 1.-The
worlds butter record" Even If the
cows milk had been churned and pro-
duced 20 lbs. 81 OF. of butter in seven
days. she would not be the champion
butter cow A number of better rec
ords lie between her and the cham
pionship. In the Jersey breed alone
there are fifteen cows with weekly
butter records of 20 lbs. IL OF. or bet
ter. Thirteen of these are published
in the American Jersey Cattle Clubs
butter test book; and Of the thirteen,
five are Official tests. vouched for by
members of the club appointed by the
president to oversee them.
From this you can see that the claim
of worlds butter record" for the
Holstein is entirely unsubstantiated,
and l think in justice to the breeders
of Jersey cattle this refutation should
be published in those papers that reach
stockmen and Gairymen who have nc
doubt read the claim. In some papers
it has been stated that the ''se@en-day
milk record" is also broken by this
584-lb. yield. If that is true, what are
we to think of the reported yields in
the Holstein test book Of over 600 lbs
by eight COWS, the two largest (7O7H
lbs and 6s2 lbs.) being made respec.

eggs of other breeds-a larger per cent

easily raised when properly cared for.
They grow very fast and feather

pullets will lay eggs when other breeds

tions. What is nicer than flock Of

the most money out of poultry by hav-

After Having Naively Turned Good
Laugh the Judge.
A young man whose features and
flashing eyes betokened great earnest
ness was summoned before Judge Nc
Carthy of the city court the other day
for jury duty. He Immediately asked
to be excused. When the judge asked
him what excuse he had for not serv-
ing, he replied

that the jury is the sole judge of the
facts and the court of the law; that
the juror should only weigh the facts

all lawyers are exempt from jury
duty"

comparative feeding values Of ground

gluten feed and 100 pounds corn meal
The gluten feed and corn meal mixture
was prepared SO as to have the same
nutritive ratio as ground wheat To
each of the three lots of animals skim
milk was fed alike. The results Of the
experiment are reported in Bulletin

the mixed corn and gluten meal gave
the greatest gain and produced cheaper

iment showed that neither wheat nor

Rape for H oEs.

This coming year good many swine
breeders will SOW a field of rape for
their hogs. The practice is good one
and it is growing. 1t has stood the
test of experience, and has become one
of the recognized swine foods. About
ten years ago it came to this country
from England and has since rapidly
increased in reputation among the men
that have tried it. Its greatest value
perhaps is in being succulent. In say
ing this we do not forget it's nutritive
value. But like the turnip the amount
of water it contains reduces to COM
paratively low point the nutritive
values based on bulk Of plant. More
and more We are coming to realize the
great value of succulence (juciness) in
the feeds we give our animals. Who
ever buys seed for sowing should insist
on getting the Dwarf Essex rape.
There are several other kinds, most
of them Of little value for forage.
