FEEDING DAIRY COWS.
Ehre Must BE Exercised If Perfectly
Satisfactory Results Are to
BE Obtained.

Farmers do not realize the heavy
.osses they suffer from failure to
feed cows properly. 1t is estimated
that the average annual yield of but
ter per COW is 125 pounds. Every
cow must first be furnished with
enough food for body maintenance;
then whatever she gets over and
above that amount goes to make
milk OIL meat. If a cow is bred
along dairy lines-that is, if her sire
is a full-blooded dairy animal-she
will not have a strong tendency to
convert feet into meat and will there
fore convert it into milk. So if she
is well fed from the time she drops
her calf, is regularly MIXED and
made comfortable quiet and content
ed, the more feed she gets the more
milk she will give, says the Michigan
Farmer.
Under careful feeding and good man
agement the yield of butter can east
ly be raised to 800 pounds a year. We
have about 1000, 900 dairy cows in the
country, which are yielding about
1,375, 100000 pounds of butter, which,
at Is cents a pound. amount to $780,
205,000. If the II ,000,0 900 cows were
properly fed, they would produce
$500, 900, 900 pounds of butter, which,
at Is cents a pound, would amount to
$495, 900 900. Allowing for the extra
nnCt that Tnn1 fan1inn ,ynI11l ,,nnnSci.
tate, there is an annual loss of over
S25O,000, 900 because of poor feeding.
1t may be thought by some that such
an enormous yield of butter would
bring ruin to the dairy industry. 1t
would to certain countries and locali-
ties where feed is expensive. but the
farmers of the northwest need have
no fear on this score, for they could
and would in a short time be called
upon to furnish European countries
with their butter, as we could furnish
it and make money than we dc
at prices that other countries could
not possibly meet. In round numbers
it costs about twice as much to pro.
duce butter in Denmark as it does in
the northwest. 1t will take many
years to bring the average up to ever
200 pounds per cow, and those who be.
gin now to feed right will have the
benefit of the good prices. Present
prices will be found entirely satisfac.
tory if cows are literally and proper.
ly fed. During the year 1896, under
good management, cows returned a
net profit of $40 per head; during the
year 1896 they made a net profit OF
$50 per head after deducting the cost
of feed; during the year 1897 the net
profit per COW amounted to $3S per
head, making the average for the
three years $36 per head, without Civ.
ing any credit for skim milk and young
stock.

LOOKING FOR A RIVER.
Senator Depew's Conception of the
Rio G<ande and What h
Reality Was.

Into a speech Senator Depew interjected
an anecdote, says the Washington Post.

read about the great rivers of the globe.

delighted in the descriptions of the Rio
Grande.
But it was not my pleasure to be near
the Rio Grande till five years ago. As soon
as our train reached Ell Paso I went out
to view the beautiful Rio Grande, to see
the floating upon its bosom, and
the crafts and palaces, such as go up and
down on the Hudson. l walked more than
an hour, and, returning, saw an aged, man,
who, / believed, would likely be truthful.

TRAINING OF GRAPES.
Conclusions Gathered from Twenty
Years of Active Work in Grow
ing the Fruit.

During the past so years, many forms
or systems have come into existence,
the merits of which it is not the pur-
pose Of this article TO discuss, but to
present the conclusions gathered from
20 years of active work in the growing
of grapes for market. Beginning with
the vine, as received from the nursery,
it is best to cut back to one or two
good buds, and plant the vine so these
will be just above the surface of the
ground. If the trellis has been built,
which is always a good practice to
follow, drive a small peg, about six
inches long, into the ground close to
the vine, and run a string of tarred
hemp or some other waterproof cord
age from this peg to the top wire of the
trellis to act as guide for the young
vine, and to protect it against the in
fiuence of the wind and to insure an
upright growth. This brings us to the
end of the first year, and if the vine
has made a fairly good growth, il IS

TIMELY DAIRY NOTES.

Cows need some succulent food in
winter to enable them to do their
best.
A dairy authority says: Butter
that has been properly made will not
stick to the knife blade when it is
cut.
A poor cow takes up as much room
eats almsot as much feed and re.
quires almost as much care as a good
one. Weed them out.
The man who furnishes uncleaL
milk for consumption or to this
creamery deserves no consideration,
Unclean milk from one herd mag
spoil the whole days receipts.
The Dairy and Creamery recently
received a letter from a firm in Ger.
many asking where skim milk eau
be bought cheaply and in large guam,
titles. The firm making the inquiry
proposes to start a factory to manu-
facture a new by-product of milk
after the butterfat is taken out of it.

He Went West and Prospered.

Freeland, Kans., Mar. 9th:-One of the
most prosperous farmers in Harper County
is Mr.. n. H. Mead. Some thirty-four years
ago he left his home near Clarence, n. T.,
and came to Kansas. Here he has thrived
splendidly and last year harvested over one
hundred and forty acres of wheat alone.
But everything has not gone well with
Mr.. Mead, for his health has not been good
for the last few years. He has suffered a
great deal with Kidney and Bladder Trou-
Bile and could get nothing to stop it. Lately,
however, he has improved a great deal and
he says that he has none of the old symp-
toms left and is feeling splendid again.
He used Dodd's Kidney Pills and this rem
edy seemed to work wonders in his case.
He says himself:
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have made me well.
They are all right and a reliable remedy
for Kidney Trouble. They helped me right
from the start, giving me great relief, and
finally cured me-"

The Germans find that with warm
water the daily quantity of milk is
increased one pound a cow as com
pared with cows drinking cold water
While the cows drank an average OF
70 pounds of warm water a day, they
drank but 60 pounds of cold. They
found also that cows drinking warm
water consumed three-fourths pound
of food more daily, though they con.
sumed a smaller quantity of dry
food for each quart of milk. The
increase in quantity of water dranh
was accompanied by an increase OF
water in milk, with no increase Of
the total solids, which means that
the milk from cows having warn
water had a greater per cent. of wa
ter in it than did the milk of cowa
drinking cold water.

University Fees.

The regents of the university have
voted to restore the students fees in the
college of engineering to what they were,
viz, SIS for residents Of Minnesota and
$50 for snonresidents. This is wise ac-
ton. Fees in a state university should
be kept as low as possible. for the uni,
yersity is only an extension Of the public
school system. The state has a use for
highly educated as we'll as for commonly
educated men. The argument for max
ing the fees higher was that the engineers
should pay as much as the law and medi-
cal students It would be more in: ac-
cordance with the nature of the univer-
sity to reduce the professional fees. Be
sides, the state needs competent en-
gineers Of various kinds more than it
does doctors and lawyers. There is and
likely always will be a surplus of them.
The university engineering department
contains about the only technical colleges
there are in the state. and every
effort should be made to make them as
useful as possible.

Brighter for Reciprocity.

The outlook for reciprocity between the
United States and Canada is growing
brighter. The Canadian high protection
lists are furious at the neglect Of their
policy shown in the budget speech of the
minister Of finance, and the Canadian be-
levers in reciprocity take that speech to
mean that the government is ready to
meet the United States half way at any
time. -
The Ottawa correspondent Of the Toron-
to Sun, Goodwin Smiths paper, writes:
The British preference is going; reci-
procity with the United States is coming.
At least this is the impression left on the
mind of an impartial observer after hear
ing the speech Of Hon. Mr. Fielding,
finance minister, on the budget last Thurs
day. -|L -. -<' =
Goldwin Smith himself says, in comment
on the budget speech:
If the government at Washington wiN
move toward us, our government VIII
move just as far toward them. That, at
least. is what Mr. Fielding says, and we
do not question his good faith. He and
his colleagues must see, as any states
men worthy Of the name must see, that
no government could render a higher serN-
ice to the Canadian people than, to secure
the abolition of the customs barrier that
now blocks trade between us and the re-
public to the south. The British market
is open to us OH equal terms with the
people of all other countries. A .reci-
procity treaty with the United States
would open to us another most valuable
market, and would give us advantages
there which could be shared by no other
land. AS Sir John Macdonald used to say,
we should. if we secured reciprocity, have
two strings, and two very, good strings,
to our bow.
The hope of reciprocity in the near fu-
ture now hangs on the coming private
conference between Sir Wilfrid c1laurier
and Senator Fairbanks. If the two can
see a fair prospect of agreeing upon some7
| thing-and that really means prospect
| of the United States giving Canada some
| Substantial concessons-the joint high
commission will meet and rapidly get
down to business. If we are. to have no
general tariff revision before 1906, the east
est way for the republican party to- salts
! fly the tariff revisers in its own ranks is
to give the country some of that Oft
promised reciprocity, and there is no form
of reciprocity that will be more beneficial
to the country in the long ruin than reci-
procity with Canada.
