Pure Bred, Most Profitable.

We continually meet people who tell
us that the crosses are far superior to
the purebred cattle for dairy purposes
Against that we have the fact that all
the great records ever made have been
from purebred cattle, carefully bred
for many generations. Thus we have
three purebred cows belonging to the
Duke of Westminster, that gave 1,106
gallons, LILO gallons and 1,44S gallons,
respectively, in twelve months; this
last one being at the rate of almost
sixteen quarts a day the whole year
through. All dairymen will know as
a fact, as we'll as all breeders of any
kind of stock that if you breed from
crossbreds you can never tell what the
result will be. 1t may take after its
sire, dam, great-grandsire or even fur
ther.
We are not by any means advising
dairymen to go to the expense of pur-
chasing a purebred herd right off, but
what we would strive to impress upon
bulls in their herds. See that the bull
is from a good milking strain, even
il you have to give a seemingly big
price for him. His cost will be moth
ing compared to the herd when the
heifers begin to come in. The only
sure way to get together a really good
herd is 70 breed it. You will have to
buy the best you can to start with; /;
then pick out your cows according to
how they turn out, and have the heifer
calves from the best, making sure that
the bull is from milking strain and
purebred. By doing this. in few
years you can get together a really
good herd, and, by judicious culling,
every year 1t will be improving and
the average yield gradually rising. The
best investment that can be made for
a dairy farm is a good bull. Even
with poor cows to start with, no man
need despair of getting a fair herd to-
gether IL he can only obtain a milking
strain on the sire's side. 1t Is then
! only a matter of time and careful Sc
| lection.-West Australian Settlers

Eggs for Matching should be com
paratively fresh. That is, they should
not be over ten days old, though some
hatchable eggs are over three weeks
old when they go under the hen or
into the incubator At this time OF
year It Is easier to keep eggs in a
condition for setting than it will be
later in the season when the heat is
greater Eggs should be kept at be-
tween 40 and so degrees if they are
TO he kept for some weeks before being
used. This is a difficult thing TO do
unless the arrangement be very per-
feet The natural temperature Of the
earth IS about So degrees, and this is
probably as near an ideal temperature
as we can get for our eggs. We can
give them to a considerable extent
the temperature of the earth.
Now that the spring is coming and
with it all kinds Of germs, the drink
ing vessels of the fowls should be
looked after Wooden vessels are not
ideal for many reasons. If they are
made of slaves they shrink and swell
with the supply of moisture and often
drop to pieces when they are neglect
ed. Then, too, they gather slime,
which may or may not be a detri-
ment Iron vessels of all kinds tend
to corrodo and perhaps the rust is not
the best thing that can be given
fowls. Drinking vessels of stone are
ideal They never shrink with the
dry weather and they never rust.
Moreover, they are easily cleaned.
Well-glazed drinking vessels are there
fore preferable to all others.
Il Is a poor economy that leads to
the purchase of musty and even moldy
feed for the fowls. When grain is
spoiled too much for any other use
1t is the practice to try to save it by
feeding it to the poultry. 1t is
charged by fanciers that musty grain
is a fruitful source of sickness. We
cannot prove the point, but we are
| ready to accept it on its face. 1t is
now well established that some of the
smuts and moulds are poisonous in
their character. Especially is this the
case with oat smut. Other smuts
have been little examined with this
point in view. Until they are proved
to be fnnocuous let us feed our fowls
only healthful grain.

Our Live stock Interests.

The census bureau, in its report on
domestic animals announces that all
domestic animals in the United States
have a probable value at least of $3,-
2C0,000,000 or this the value of an
imals on farms and ranges constitute
over SO per cent. The total value of
all domestic animals on farms and
ranges is $2,9S1 .054, ,115, against $2,20S,-
1888 in 1890. There was a gain in
all parts of the country except the
North Atlantic states, where there was
a decrease of horses, sheep and swine,
making a total decrease of per cent
in the value. Iowa leads all states In
total value Of it's livestock, while
Texas ranks second. The former has
an investment in livestock Of $272, ,S44,-
O34, and the latter 1896, ,227, ,434. Texas,
however, has the greatest number Of
neat cattle, mules and goats, but the
average value of these and other an
imals being less than in Iowa, pre-emi-
nence in value rests with the latter
state.

Real Test of Beef Cattle.

Herbert w. Mumford says: For a
long time we have believed that the
relationship between the breeder and
pure bred animals to the feeder and
market cattle has not been cleary un-
derstood. Breeders, and feeders as well,
have at times seemed to utterly dis
regard the possibility Of mutual help
fulness and even of mutual dependen-
cy. The real place of pure bred ami
mails has frequently been lost sight of
which has led to practices that have
not worked out for the hest interests OF
breeders of pure bred animals or the
men whose rightful sphere of useful
ness is producing animals for the
block.
An active demand fer good beef
coupled with scarcity of prime steers
is bound to bring about relatively high
prices for prime bullocks on hoof and
hook. High prices for market beef cat
tie invariably stimulate prices for pure
bred beef cattle and as surely great
activity in the breeding of the same
Usually the stimulation of this branch
OF the live stock trade, aided by the
ever enthusiastic efforts and aggres'
sive methods of stock breeders, is al
times beyond point warranted by the
actual conditions existing in the oper
market trade.

A professor OF animal husbandry
says. Some men seem to have formed
the idea that the breeding OF fine cattle
is an easy thing. 1t is unfortunate that
many breeders make no effort to dis
pei such folly with a prospective buyer
on the ground. The sooner that men
generally know and appreciate that 1t
Is no childs play to breed fine cattle
the better, and breeders generally will
make no mistake in aiding to establish
such principles Breeders of pure
bred beef cattle have given too much
attention to the outside or external
conformation of the animal and too
little to the inside, where the animal
really lives, and where the valuable
product beef, is found.
Expert judges Of beef cattle on foot
are just beginning to realize that they
cannot tell as much about the quality
and quantity of beef an animal will
cut on the block as was formerly sup
posed. 1t is often stated that the cat
/ tie buyers for the packing houses know
all about these things. The fact is
/ their skill and knowledge of the busi.
ness runs little farther thar being able
| to select cattle that will dress a higt
/ percentage of beef and a low percent
age OF fat. This by no means decides
the value of the carcass, when solo
over the block or the quality of beef
A plainly bred steer, properly fed, may
dress a satisfactory percentage o
dressed beef and still be an unprofita
bic animal when sold over the block.

Prof. G.. l.. Mckay of Iowa after a
visit to Europe, had this to say about
water in butter:
No subject interests me more than
water. tested lot of butter in Eng
land for moisture. and the driest but
ter | found was from New Zealand,
some of it running down to about
eight per cent. Danish butter aver
ages about fifteen per cent. Russia
was very irregular, some very fine, but
good deal of 1t had a rank flavor.
II will get over that after awhile,
however, and | believe that Russia
will come to the front rapidly. Some
of the highest selling butter was the
French two pound unsalted rolls. My
experience with the Irish butter is
that it lacks body, which results large
ly from the fact that II is churned at
a high temperature. Ii contains lots
of water. some samples testing twen-
ty to twenty-five per cent moisture.
This question is now before the Eng
lish parliament, and it seems probable
that ii will be settled on the basis of
duoNl ultGtu W SlNlttH PEI cent NitSAs
1t has been great problem to me
that the Danish butter has a higher
percentage of water than ours has, yet
at the same time it has mealy, dry
appearance. Investigation showed
that their method of churning and
working was peculiar. The churning
is done at moderately high tempera-
ture and the butter comes soft. 1t is
dropped at once into cold water and
then put on the table and worked
three-quarters of a minute, after which
it is again put in cold water for a
moment, then brought back and worked
from one to one and quarter minutes.
This makes only two minutes Of work
ing. When finished it Is packed into
legs for the market. 1t is said that
this method is used to get the butter
milk out and have 1t clear, but IL is
probably intended to work the water
into the butter as we'll Danish butter

While the peculiar pacing gait of a
moose will not carry him over the
ground as rapidly as the deer or carl
bou, his endurance far surpasses that
of either of these animals. For a
short sprut or in very deep snow the
caribou can easily discount the moose,
but for an all-day's jaunt, where the
course Is fairly open, the moose has
no rival. Many years ago, when Sir
Edmund Head was governor of the
Province of New brunswick, he owned
q tame moose that performed remark
able feats of speed and endurance. On
one occasion the governor wagered
$500 that his moose could travel from
Fredericton to St John over the ice, a
distance of eighty-four miles, in faster
time than any team of horses in the
stud of Lord Hill of the Fifty-second
regiment. sledge was attached to
the moose and another to the horses.
The river ice was covered with about
eight inches of snow. The start was
made opposite government house at
o'clock in the morning. In seven hours
the moose and his driver were in
Market square, st. John. Lord Hills
team was distanced, one of the horses
expiring at Gagetown and the other
reaching st. John three hours behind
the moose.-Breeder and Sportsman.

From Farmers Review: Hatch
ing season is either now with, or soon
viii be with, poultry raisers the time
depending upon surroundings; and the
fertility Of eggs is the ueedful thing;
the way to secure fertile eggs is a way
all wish TO know. Some say good
per cent Of fertile eggs Is not to be
had if the fowls arc confined to a linz
tied range, but we have had and have
known others 10 have 80 per cent
of fertile eggs from yardcd fowls. Last
year ours had a limited very range,
the yard in which six pullets, two hens
aud one cockercl were confined beinS
about two rods square, and in TINS
enclosure the roostiug room and
scratch shed were placed
You may say. the per cent Of fertile
eggs was good. but perhaps the whole
number Of eggs was small. No, the
average from the eight hens from the
18th of February to the last of May
was 6la eggs per day; a higher aver
age than we were able to get from the
outside hens. The average would
doubtless have been higher if we could
have secured fresh meat at all times
tor them. We fed a mash Of wheat
bran. mixed stiff with kitchen scraps
and salty dishwater of a morning;
about a quart of mash; at noon wheat
or oats was scattered among leaves in
the scratch shed; at night a quart of
shelled corn was thrown among the
leaves. 49,.
Nothing pleases hens better than to
dig up fresh moist earth for them, aud
| think there is nothing healthier.
Green food, cut grass, rye and wheat
was fed them every day-all they
would eat; but the way confined hens
enjoy their green meal the best is to
place n slab of sod in their pen, or
even pull up large tufts of grass.
No need to fear infertie eggs from
yarded fowls IL you will pen only
healthy fowls. Give a variety of food;
induce exercise, and keep quarters
clean. | prefer yearling cockerel to
an older male Whatever age the head
of the pen must be in the very pink OF
perfection as regards health and vigor.
One should have not more than eight
hens to one male of the larger breeds;
several more hens may be mated to
a male II of the small breeds. ou-
chicks were B. p. Rocks.
Gather the eggs every day. Keep in
an even temperature, several degrees
above freezing; turn every day and
you may keep them three weeks; then
set and receive good matches as far as
the age OF the eggs is concerned. II
will probably take from 10 to "a hours
longer to hatch them. The above care
applies equally as we'll to setting eggs
from range fowls, or any other poultry
If you would once try the plan of Sc
lecting eight or a dozen Of your besi
hens, mating with a No. l cockerel
yardlng and using these eggs to hatcf
from, you would never try other ways
