The Lunch at the Hog Sale.

A. G. Woodbury.: From the good
old times" there has been handed
down the custom of free entertain
ment to man and beast. Select q
homelike house. If you want a good
SALE, don't take your buyers to a
cheap hotel. Clean beds and well
served meals make the animal, man,
in better humor to buy hogs. The
strong argument against free hotels,
is the expense This proffer to par
ties from a distance has rarely been
abused with US. Our last bill was
$500. 1t came back to US many
times. A simple abundant lunch Of
hot coffee with pure cream and sugar
as wanted, served in tin cups; sand
witches not too dry, made of bun, but
ter and ham and a few of ground
beef; pickles; small cakes and pie.
This is the best ever served at our
sales and gives satisfaction. Big din
ners are not necessary.

InconcIusive Tests.

There are some tests made that
count for SO little that it is doubt
full if they should be considered when
determining a principle of practice.
Such is the report of a test that
comes from Australia The test was
made to increase the fund of knowl-
edge on the skimming qualities of
the milk of Jerseys, Ayshires and
Holsteins. The per cent of fat in the
skimmilk was lowest in the case of
Jersey milk, and highest in the case
of Holstein milk. but, the report adds,
1.-The difference was not marked"
Here is the point: There must have
been some difference and the fact
that cit was not marked" leads one
TO assume that it was a mere chance
that determined the order of supe-
riority. 81

Composition of Sleeps Milk.

There have been numerous analy-
ses made of Sleeps milk The infor-
nation on this point is increased by
some experiments made in France
this past year. Altogether III sam
pies were analysed. These were not
taken from one flock at one period,
but were obtained in six different To-
calities, and they were taken during
a period covering three months. The
results should therefore be about the
average for that region. The milk
proved to be very rich, both in fat
and in total solids. Ten samples
taken in the region of RoQuefort
showed the following average COM
position: Solids, 1879; fat, SIS;
sugar, 5.53; casein, 5-54; ash, O96;
lime, 0-25; acid, 2.66 per cent

Milk of Spayed Cows.

A French paper reports some tests
made to ascertain the composition of
the milk of spayed COWS. 1t was
thought that the milk from such
cows would prove to be more uni
form than the milk from COWS more
subject to the natural incidents of
maternity This did not prove to be
the case, the usual variations occur
ring as in the case of unspayed cows.
On the other hand, there was a very
notable increase in the fat content of
the milk and of the sugar of milk.
The experimenters expressed the be-
lief that this milk would prove espe-
cially suited to the use of infants.
But this is another theory waiting to
be proven.

Importance of Good Seed Corn.
There are nine and a quarter mill
lions of acres in corn in this state.
By adding five bushels per acre to
the yield of the Iowa cornf1elds 1t
means an addition to the profits Of
the Iowa farmers of over $40, 000, 900
every year. An important factor in
the improvement of corn is good seed
corn. Good seed is secured only by
careful and intelligent selection The
unfavorable conditions for the corn
crop this fall, resulting from the ear
ly frosts in many portions of Iowa,
will make necessary unusual care in
the selection of seed corn for next
years crop. Successful breeders
agree that the best seed corn is that
which possesses the greatest vitality
or terminating power, and which will
yield the most corn per acre and of
the best quality, and therefore prove
the most profitable to grow. Good
seed corn will increase the yield per
acre five to twenty bushels. Hence
the Importance this year of taking
unusual care in selecting and storing
the seed corn which is to be used
next spring in the fields of Iowa

Experimenting With Steamed siIase.

Experimenting With Steamed SiIage.
The Oregon station is carrying on
some experiments in the steaming of
silage. AS yet the station officials
are unwilling to state conclusions, as
they propose to repeat the expert

to the steaming of silage. In the tests
referred to. silos were filed with corn

Feeding Test with Sugar Beet Pulp

The Michigan station has recently
concluded a feeding test to ascertain
the value of beet pulp for milk cows.
Two lots of four COWS each were fed,
and the feeding was divided into two
periods of six weeks each. 1t was
figured from the results obtained
from this test that the 9,463 pounds
of beet pulp was only equal to 26S
pounds of hay, 172 pounds of bran
and SO pounds of corn meal. There
was an increase of AIS pounds in the
milk supply when pulp was fed, but
there was no increase in the yield
of butter fat obtained. This test
does not show up very favorably for
sugar beet pulp. 1t can be fed
profitably only when very cheaply OBJ
tanned.

The Butter and Cheese Trade of 1902.
Butter makers have had no occasion
to complain of prices during the year
just past. Over-supplies in cold stor-
age in January forced some dealers to
sell out at little or no margin of
profit, but later prices advanced
strongly reaching 80 cents in April,
the highest price paid for butter in
Chicago in several years. The pas
sage of the oleomargarine law sus-
tanned the market during May, June
and July, but the abundance of feed
produced by summer rains increased
the supply and prices declined about
three cents. In October, November
and December, earlier values were
restored and extra creamery sold as
high as 20 cents per pound, at which
figure it now stands. The local de-
mand at Chicago has been the heaviest
in years. 1t is estimated that since
March LIST 10000 more 60-pound tubs
of butter were received and marketed
than during the same period in 1901,
the increase amounting to almost 20
per cent. During the same time New
York made gain of only per cent
The cheese trade of Chicago for
1902 shows gain of about 10 per
cent. June brought the lowest price
of the year, viz: ga cents for ched-
OARS Fall brought so brisk a demand
that there was no chance for an ac-
emulation of stocks. Very little
cheese was exported from this market

ing left to New York and Canada

The Egg and Poultry Trade Of 1870

The Egg and Poultry Trade of 1902.
Since April when storage eggs sold
as low as 1412 cents per dozen, prices
have been good and well sustained.
Sixteen cents was freely paid in May
and the early part of June. Then
there was a drop of half cent, but
later revival and steady advance
until now, at the close of the year,
fresh eggs are bringing 26 cents and
storage eggs 1914 cents. Fewer eggs
have been placed in cold storage than
in 1901.
The feature of the poultry season
has been the scarcity of fowls and
high prices realized, in some cases al
most double those of 1901. A cold
wet summer interfered with the rear
ing of young turkeys and not more
than 60 per cent of the usual crop
was grown. At the close of the year
dressed turkeys at wholesale were
bringing 171s to Is cents, against 9
to 10 cents in 1901, and dressed chick
ems 10 to IL cents, against 71s to 8
cent one year ago. The holiday trads
made such heavy drafts on country
reserves that light supplies are an
ticipated, for the balance of the win

New Tests Along Old Lines.

New Tests Along Old Lines
In the Agricultural Department of
the Reading College tests were made
in the churning OF butter which yield
ed the following results:
Butter churned into small grains
contained, when worked, lila per
cent of water. If churned till it was
in the form of Jumps it contained 12-5
per cent OF water. 1t is generally
considered that a low water content
is desirable; in which case the churn-
ing into grains is to be commended
This is the degree of churnfng now
taught by nearly all dairy instructors.
Another result was obtained that
might have been expected. Sweet
cream when churned showed a great
er loss of fat in the churning opera
ton than did the churning of ripened
cream. This loss was ascertained by
testing the butter-milk. This is a
factor to be taken into consideration
in the making of sweet cream butter,
which at one time threatened to be-
come as popular in this country as
it is in some parts Of Europe.
Butter Supposedly in granules)
was immersed in water at 20 degrees
and slightly churned to see IL it
would absorb water. The result was
an increase of per cent of the
weight.
A test was also made to ascertain
if brine sailing would increase the
water content over dry sailing. In
this case it was reported that no in
crease of water content was shown.
This result seems to be contrary to
some Investigations in Ireland, where
it is now generally believed that
brine sailing increases the water con-
tent.
