n supply of fresh skim milk which may
be used to advantage for feeding pur.
poses. During the winter we use skin
milk in abundance for the laying hens,
but when we have several hundred
chicks in the spring. as is frequently
the case, the skim milk goes largely to
them.
Our plan is TO give the chicks a very
light feeding of grain early in the
morning before they are allowed to go
the range; at noon they are given all
the skim milk they will drink, and
then, after an afternoon on the range,
they have quite heavy grain feed to
go to bed on. We find they grow quick.

The skim milk can be fed to calves to
advantage If 1t is not desired to feed 1t
to chicks, and If the milk is clean and
fresh they will thrive on 1t. especially
If some bran is mixed with it.

The ability TO utilize food and con-
vert it proiitably into milk and butter
is quality of cows that varies with
individuals. Among both ordinary
dairy cows and cows of pure breeds
the variation in this respect is quite
remarkable. as illustrated to a marked
degree in the study of the herd owned
by the Connecticut Agricultural Col.
lege, that was made during the year
1898. According TO this study, the cow
with the best record produced during
the year 500 pounds of butter, at a
profit of S42.S2; while during the same
time the COW with the poorest record
produced 1T2 pounds of butter, at
loss of $4O9. The variations in the
amount of butter and milk produced
by individual cows in this herd are not
exceptional. The records of station
herds and Of hundreds of private herds
where individual records have been
Kept show variations fully as great as
these.
1t is plainly evident that success in
dairying depends very much upon the
productive capacity of the individual
cows that make up the herd. A very
practicable way TO Improve the herd
and increase the average productive
capacity is to dispense with all the
cows which the scales and the Babcock
test together prove to be Improbable.
1t would be pretty safe to assert that
twenty cows selected in this way for
their high and economical productive
capacity, would be more profitable
than twenty-five, and possibly even
thirty cows, selected in the ordinary
random method of making up a herd

Fake Mining Schemes.

In bonded mining schemes the usual fake method of operation is very simple. A mining claim in good locality is bonded for a year or two at any price the owner may fix. The bond has a forfeiture clause in case of default of any payment. After this the promoter incorporates company to work the claim under his bond, and re- tains over half the stock of the cor poration for himself and his direc- tors. Next the promoter blows the trumpet of great expectation, and starts a little work on the ground to keep up appearances. Under cover of this he disposes of his stock to the dear public, and keeps on working both the mine and the public until the bond expires and default comes. Then the owner of the mine resumes possession. After this, so far as the promoter and his board of trustees are con cerned, both the mine and the stockholders can go 10 thunder. This is no imaginary case, for the graft is being worked every day in nearly every mining camp on the Pacific Coast- Pacific Coast Min CT January 30th.
 And there are other places where this kind of skin business is done and ought to be exposed. We hear it has been done in Santa Cruz county.
