CONDENSED MILK TRADE.
Farm Paper Enumeratcs Several
Hensons for the Phenomenal
Growth of This Industry.

1t is doubtless true that the demand
for condensed milk is O the increase.
A good many families that once used
cows milk now use condensed milk.
recently the writer visited a friend
living in q small Michigan town. aud
was surprised to see condensed milk
on the table. Cows milk was also on
the table, but the family used mostly
the condensed milk. Taking all things
into consideration they regarded the
condensed article as cheap as the
other, though prices for the latter
were very reasonable.
The Farmers Review gives several
reasons why a large number Of people
prefer the condensed milk. In the first
place, they assume that it has been
heated to a point that kills all germ
hfe-which probably is not true. In
the second place, they believe that the
milk from which this condensed article
was made is cleaner than the milk gen
orally obtainable-and this is certain
" true. The public has within a
lew years heard a great deal about the
nlthy conditions in which MANY of our
dairy herds live and produce milk, and
they are fleeing from such milk. It
Is also quite generally known that the
~condensing factories are very exacting
IN the matter of the milk they use. A
trip among the suppliers Of milk for
~condensing factories shows white
washed stables, well-lighted and we'll
ventilated, barnyards well-drained and
Clearly kept, milk cans perfectly clean
and bright, and cement cooling vats
in which is running cold water. The
milk inspectors do not hesitate to or
the methods that will give clean
milk where ordering is necessary.
We have known the milk Of farmers
refused because they would not put in
= yenttlator. For such reasons the
companies that make condensed milk
find the demand for their goods CON
SANITY increasing. The census Of 1890
showed an annual production of 81, $780,
821 pounds Of condensed milk; the CEN
sus Of 1900 showed an annual pro-
dutction of1se, 9921. 1877 pounds, an increase
Of nearly 500 percent.

For a BAD Back.

many, men in this neighborhood used to
complain OF pains, in the back, but now

MI; Gottlieb Mill is largely responsible
Tor the improvement, for it was he who
first of all found the remedy for this
Backache. He has recommended It to ali
his friends and neighbors, and in every
case it has had wonderful success.
NJ. Mill says:-
For many years I had been troubled
with my Kidneys and pains in the small

did not derive any benefit until last fall

DAIRY R ROOM,
A Necessity Where Farmers Desir.
to Hold Butter and Cheese for
Higher Prices.

Many farms r not provided with
the right kind Of dairy building, and
when n undertakes to store butter
for future sales they may have to
take an inferior price for it. 1 was
in a cellar the other day where the
woman Of the house had several hun
bred pounds stored, and to me the
room smelled damp and musty. The
chances are that this butter will smell
of this must when 1t is put on the
market II 1t does. instead Of her re-
ceiving the very highest fancy price
she will have to take what she can
get for it.

DAIRY CROP ROTATION.

able Keeping of 40 Cows On
60 Acres Of Land.

Recently, in referring to g very pro-
ductive section OF Wisconsin, Hoard's
Dairyman said that .65 acres Of good
rtillable land would annually support 40
COWS for dairy purposes. a correspond
int from Ohio asked for a rotation of
crops to adopt for this work in connec-
ton with corn, and the provisions for
pasture, to which the Dairyman replied
as follows:
There is probably just as good land
in Ohio, but We are not sufficiently ac-
quainted with Ohio conditions to justify
a similar statement for every farm in
that state. Given good land in Ohio, or
elsewhere, WI should depend very
largely upon corn and alfalfa as the
main crops, andsdevote very little acre
age to pasture. We should expect to
lasraise corn enough to fill silos and have
considerable left over for cribbing. We
should aim to keep a goodly number Of
hogs to take the skim milk to good adj
vantage, and expect to use the money
received for hogs in purchasing feed for
the COWS and other hogs. Alfalfa has
not been recommended fora short rota-
ton and we should therefore wait until
more is learned about alfalfa. expect
TO grow some common clover, and. pos
slbly, wheat. oats and barley. These,
however, r questions that can only be
fully answered when n is entirely
conversant with the soil, climate and
