A Dairy Suggestion from Denmark.

As our readers are all well aware,
the Dane is the advanced dairyman
of the world. In a comparatively
short time, by close attention to
dairying under the best scientific
guidance, he has transformed his
little country from grain selling
country, growing poorer all the time
to a grain buying country, growing
richer all the time.
One of the minor methods by
which he has attained the highest
position in production, in quality,
and in the price obtained on the
market, is that of having an inspec-
tor in each neighborhood whose bust
ness it is to visit each farm atstated
intervals. weighing and testing the
milk Of each COW and keeping a re-
cord of same, and weighing also the
feed given to each COW and keeping
a record. The groups which employ
these men number from twelve to
twenty farmers or dairymen, and
each group or society is affiliated
with the Royal Danish Agricultural
Society, which bears half the expense.
The cost to the dairyman of this test
of the COW and weighing of the feed
is about half cent for each visit
and the visits are sometimes once a
week and sometimes twice month.
The result of this has been the re-
lection of poor COWS and greater
increase in the yield of milk and of
butter fat. 1t has proved very
profitable investment.
In reading of it, the question has
occurred to us: Will it not pay
every creamery in connection with
the patrons to employ a dairy stu
dent at the agricultural college to
spend his time, at least in the winter
season, in visiting each patron,
testing their COWS for them, and
making suggestions as to the i'm
provement Of the ration? There are
very few farmers that will go to the
trouble of testing each COW and as
certaining her butter fat producing
capacity. In fact, it would be cheap
er for them in the long run to pay
their proportion Of the expense Of
some bright young fellow accustomed
to this kind of work and who has
also practical knowledge of feeds.
Judging from the inquiries that
come to us each winter, we assume
that but about one man in ten is
feeding his COWS a properly balanced
ration. Nearly all Of them are feed
ing too little protein; that is, too lit
tie clover, hay, bran and shorts, and
the foods necessary to provide the
COW with the raw material for milk.
A bright young man could demon
strate to them very soon why it is
that their sort Of dairying does not
pay. He could also point out the
cows that can not with any kind of
feeding be made to pay. In cream
cry furnished with 10000 pounds of
milk per day, the expense Of employ
ing o young man to do this work
would be comparatively light; the
creamery could very we'll afford to
pay half of 1t. and the farmers, we
are sure, would find the other, half
about the best Investment of money
they had made for many years. :

HurryinE up the nahx.

A correspondent sends Us an extract
from poem which recently appeared
i'll South African paper. thinking we
shall approve of its sentiments. We
do, we do. The inspired verse is cnti-
tied Making Il Man" and begins:
Hurry the baby as fast as you can,
Hurry him. worry him. make him man;
Off with his baby clothes. get him in
pants.
Feed him on brain foods and make him
advance:
Hustle him. soon as he's able to walk.
Into grammar school, cram him with
talk:
Fill his poor head full of figures and
facts,
Keep on a-jamming them in till 1t cracks.

DIR. Mayo of the Kansas Agricult-
ural College, states that he has
received the present spring quite a
number of reports of what seem to
be clear cases of young pigs and
other animals dying as a result of
eating young cockleburs. He says
that the young burs are very poison
Gus at certain periods of growth,
mostly when they are in the two
leaved stage, causing Inflammation Of
the stomach and intestines, but can
not throw any light on the nature of
the poison. He does not hold out
much hope of successful treatment
after the poison has once entered
the system, but suggests that per-
haps raw linseed oil might be help
