Canadian cheeee Inspectlon.

-1ie province of Ontario has 1000
cheese factories Sixteen travelling
cheese instructors are employed. They
find this number insufficient and un.
satisfactory and wish to increase 1t.
Each of these instructors gets from
$500 to $1,000 for the season. There,
the travelling cheese instructor
watches a group of from 20 to 30
factories. Some of these he visits
but once in season, others as often
as once a month, the number of visits
depending upon the necessities of the
factories He gives counsel sees that
the factory is kept clean and by re-
porting to the proprletors or farm
owners Is able to weed out the poor
cheese-makers and encourage and
stimulate the worthy ones. He Has
no absolute power, his work being
strictly advisory.
The province of Quebec has about
so of these travelling instructors. Here
the dairymen are largely of French
descent and the cheese factories are
smaller than those OF the province
of Ontario and relatively more numer-
Gus. Here different plan is fol.
lowed from that Of Ontario. The
cheese factories are allowed to form
syndicates, so.called, that is, twenty
to thirty factories near together are
allowed to form an association for
hiring a travelling cheese instructor.
If they hire one approved by the gov
eminent. the government will pay to-
ward his salary up to the limit OF
$3.50, but not more, and not more
than half his salary in any event. The
instructors receive from $500 to $500
for the season. The difference be-
tween the government allowance and
the total amount of the salary is met
by the factories themselves. Thus it
will be seen that the Provincial Gov
eminent of Quebec pays out more
than $12,500 annually for these trav.
cling instructors, while the patrons of
the factories themselves must pay at
least $20,000.-J. Q. Emery.

Water for the Cows,

AS spring is nearly here, the farmer
should be taking into consideration
the supplying of pure water for his
cows. The dirty brook that runs
through some OF the pastures is not
a suitable drinking place for the cows.
IL is always subject to contagiop
brought to il by other animals and by
birds. In the dry time of summer
some of these brooks so nearly run
dry that the water becomes stagnant
In this water the COWS stand some
times for hours at time. 1t becomes
filthy and suitable medium for the
development of disease germs ana
also of germs that affect the milk
by producing bitter flavors, stringy
constituencies and so forth. Every
pasture should be provided with
troughs in which can be found pure
water at every part of The summer
season. Where there are brooks, very
frequently the brooks can be diverted
or controlled in way that will make
them help rerder this service. A
brook running under the cool ground
through tile pipes is very different
thing from brook ripping over the
surface and becoming foule1 in a
hundred ways. Without doubt the
best water for II cows in the pasture

Pretty Weddings,

Color effect is greatly studied nova
days at wedding ceremonies, and the
result is often delightful. Red and
white weddings have been much in
vogue during the dull winter months,
with desirable result, and the little
pages with bright-hued cloaks slung
over the shoulder, or tiny bride
maidens in mob caps, Powered frocks
and muslin aprons, scattering pink
and red roses, have lent a charming
picturesqueness to the bride and her
surroundings.
Considering the. number of fashion
able weddings which have taken place
recently, the variety introduced into
the functions has been little short of
surprising. One of the prettiest re-
suits was achieved at a recent cere-
mony when the snowy-gowned bride
was accompanied by train of brides
maids attired in every shade of pink,
ranging from the most delicate wild
rose tone to that of the deepest Grim
son.

Roots and Tubers as Horse Feed,

On the question of using roots and
tubers as part of the food of horses,
n government bulletin says:
Carrots, Swedish turnips or ruta.
bagas, and other roots and tubers,
green vegetables, and fruits contain
a high percenta of water and small
amounts of the different classes of
nutrients. Generally speaking, the
percentage of crude fiber is smaller
than in the green forage crops; but
since the proportion of nutritive ma
terial is small in comparison with the
total bulk, they are ordinarily referred
to as coarse fodder. The use of these
materials as food for horses has been
attempted at different times with
varying success, but 1t is not followed
to any great extent in this country,
though quite common in Europe.
Ten pounds of roots has been sug-
gested as the maximum quantity
which may be fed without unduly dis
tending the stomach or being too laxa-
tive. "Ar addition of or pounds
of carrots to the daily food ration OF
ordinary WORKING nOTSeS, captain M.
II. Hayes believes, will almost always
be of benefit; and pounds a day will
not be too much for race horses, even
in the highest state of training. 1t Is
safest to give carrots sliced longi.
tudinally, so that they may not stick
in the animals gullet and thus choke
him"
In the opinion Of a recent German
writer, about IL pounds of raw pota-
toes per 1000 pounds live weight may
be fed to horses with advantage and,
| If supplemented with proper feed,
there need be no fear of physiological
| disturbances. When fed in this
amount the potatoes should be mixed
with hay or cut straw to insure their
being properly chewed. If small, they
may be fed whole; if large, they
| should be sliced. In any case only
| ripe, healthy, unsprouted tubers
| should be used. 1t is said that horses
| should not be watered Immediately
after ration containing potatoes.

Roses for Hat Trimmings.

A good ostrich fall makes a good
flower spring is an old saying with
milliners, and the spring of 1904 will
bear out the truth of this statement.
Roses promise to take the lead. The
tiny button variety, in single and dou.
Bile garlands, edge the brims, encircle
the crowns or otherwise trim the hats.
Medium size roses are used as garni.
ture in single or double wreaths. and
large roses are often used singly.
When the large flower is employed
tiny green leaves bordering the brims
make a charming effect.

In Buying a Cow.

Some of our dairymen have quite
elaborate rules they follow when
they go out to buy a COW; yet it Is
the opinion of the writer that about
all the rules will be found to be at
fault now and then. One writer on
dairy subjects says that in buying a
COW we should beware of the easy
keeper, or, rather, of the COW that
looks easy to keep, as she will take
care Of herself before providing for
the milk and cream her owner wants.
This may be fairly good rule, but
we have certainly seen most excellent
cows chat were easy-keepers. 1t de-
Ponds good deal on the individual
ity of the COW. One COW will be sleek
give good mess Of rich milk and
prove continuous mixer, while an
other that looks exactly like her will
prove a fair mixer for only few
months. How shall one tell whether
cow will milk for six months or for
twelve months? After all the indica-
lions are needed, there is still much
uncertainty in regard to the COW. Not
till she has been kept year can we
know what kind of an animal we have
and even then we may not know, if
the COW be young. AS much as pos.
sible the farmers should raise their
own cows, as only in that case will
they be able to know for certainty
the real value attaching to them.

Handsome Street Gown.

A handsome street gown is of
mauve cloth. A hip yoke formed of
stitched bands of cloth fits snugly and
fastens with gold buttons a trifle to
the left. The bodice is fashioned
after the same idea, the stitched
straps giving short-jacket effect,
closing on the side to correspond with
skirt decoration. The sleeves are
similarly treated and the large, loose
puff which falls from elbow is at.
tached to a narrow cuff. The collar is
also made of stitched straps and gold
en- brown satin, the latter being used
for the deep grdle and scarf, which is
finished with brown silk fringe.

Physicians Use Carrier Pigeons.

oSV Soi''Si 'SSS'S'
Country Physicians in many, in
stances have adopted the use of
pigeons as messengers. A physician
raises a loft of carriers, and when he
visits a patient four or five miles away
he carries with him basket contain.
ing one of his birds. IL dangerous
symptoms arise in the night or the
following day the pigeon is released
with a message. Some physicians
with long country routes carry half
a dozen or more Of these pigeons Oh
their rounds and leave one at each
place. A daily report of the different
cases can thus be obtained by pigeon
service. This service has also been
extended on large Western farms.
Some farmers receive daily reports Of
the markets from the city in this way
when there are no telephone or tele-
graph wires to send the messages.
All that is required is a trip to the
city once fortnight to carry back
the birds and some one in the city
to write the reports and release the
pigeons.

Where to Sell the Milk.

Sometimes dairymen are too anxious
% ship their milk and they send it to
the retail market when it would give
them better return If disposed of in
another way. This results in their
own loss as well as depressing the
milk market. They should remember
that they can take a lower price from
a creamery than from a shipping sta
ton, and one of the chief reasons is
that they may retain the skinned
milk which is valued by many au.
thorities at from onehalf to one cent
per quart, as feed for young stock.
II it cannot be used for this purpose

Good Cream Necessary.

Lt was once supposed by a few pro.
gressive creamery men that first.
class buttermaker ought to be able to
make good butter from half rotten
cream Later on experience taught
us that there is no method by which
we can renovate old, over,ripe cream
or milk and make desirable product
from same. Therefore it Is of the
utmost importance that the milk or
cream furnished the creamery be in a
clean and sweet condition and free
from all foreign odors, In order TO
reach this result it is necessary for
the buttermaker TO gain some influence
over his patrons so that they will
receive his i.,structions and feel that
they are benefited-M. Mortensen.
