Water In Butter.

We have been able during the past
season to make butter containing "A
Der cent water, giving an overrun OF
81 per cent, without the use Of any
butter increaser. Butter Of this kind,
however, does not possess good keep
ing qualities. The high per cent OF
water seems to effect the color, giving
It a dead appearance, and the butter
is short in grain and does not draw
out on the trier. The tendency for
such butter is to sour after standing
some time. In my experience as q
butter Judge, do not believe that
would be able to distinguish the diff.
ference in water content Of butter be
tween 10 per cent Of water and that
containing II or IS per cent, but
could readily tell when the water con.
tent got up to 20 per cent. Our ex'
periment butter containing AZ per
cent was sold on the New York mar.
ket for &c less per pound than west
ern extras. Mr.. Healy's comments
were that the butter was short
grained, and would not draw well on
the trier. Now, l do not propose 70
discuss here any method Of working
In 40 per cent Of water, as I do moi
approve Of making butter Of this
Kind. but do believe the question Of
a proper overrun is one Of the mos
important questions mat confronti
the manufacturer Of to-day.-Prof @

The Dairy Laborer.

In an address to Missouri dairymen,
Robt. Pethbrldge said: Successful
dairying cannot be carried on where
labor is short, or where the hired
help is lacking. In my travels l find
this to be a great complaint among
dairymen that they cannot get help,
but am sure it is mostly their own
fault, for | can name many successful
dairymen who have no difficulty in
that line, because they are treated in
proper and business like manner,
such as fair wages, regular hours and
liberal treatment. He must compare
the dairy help with the city laborer
in wages; they will vary in different
parts of the country in hours of la
Dor; the city man has his 10 hours
daily and pay for overtime, whereas
the country man as a rule works
longer hours and no pay for overtime.
This is one of the great objections
Of the man working on the farm, for
| have known by experience that
many a day | have been at work IA
hours in the field with team and pre-
vious to that did the milking and
feeding of ten cows and four horses,
and then at night have to do the
same thing again, when | ought to
have been studying or taking some
recreation to improve my mind and
body, to render 1t better fit for the
duties of the morrow. Liberal treat
ment will do more to bring employer
and employed together, than wages.
The giving OF cottage with garden
patch and allowing them to keep a
COW for the use of the children in adj
ditlon to the weekly wage gives the
country employer the advantage over
the city and more work can be ac'
complished and your man can be re
lied on, which is very important. In
the hiring of labor, there are many
good dairy hands coming from Eng
land, ireland, Germany and Scan
dinavian countries, who are glad ia
get a Job when they arrive in New
York, and they naturally seek an en-
ployment agency, and those who wish
to hire this class can make applica'
ton, and they will not be disappointed
II they are willing to do the fair thing.

BUYING Feeds.

A good many farmers make light OF
balanced rations and equally so of the
constituents of the feed they buy.
They purchase their feed supplies
largely on the market quotations
based on a certain weight. When
bran was selling at $500 per ton re-
Gently and gluten feed at $500 there
was a great demand for bran. Yet
the bran contained only about IL per
cent of digestible protein and the
gluten feed q per cent. Let us fig
ure a little. There we're about 24O
pounds of protein in the ton OF bran,
and that cost SIS. This was paying
ca cents for each pound of protein
In the bran. The gluten cost S2S.OO,
but there was $40 pounds of it in a
ton, which was cost per pound OF
Az cents. Any man can see the point
and that the high-priced feed was the
cheapest when values are considered.
The above is but an illustration OF
the recklessness shown by many in
the buying of feed.
We heard of man recently who,
when oats were selling at about $40
per ton, ground them and fed them to
his dairy COWS. That was certainly
an absurd thing to do when protein
feeds in other forms could be bought
very much cheaper. The wise thing
for him to have done would have been
to sell the oats and put the money
into other feeds, thereby saving sew
eral dollars per ton on his oats In
addition to the cost of grinding.
1t is indeed true that, as some say
"a man needs to have a liberal edu
cation" to know just what feeds tc
buy. But it is also true that the
farmer that expects to succeed in his
business in these days must make
a study of his business to the same
extent as the city business man has
to do. When farmers do that, thu
sellers of feed will sell what thu
farmers really need to buy rather thar
what will make the dealers the mos
money. Dealers in all kinds of good
generally sell to the "intelligen
trade" the things that have merit, Blu
to the "unintelligent trade" they sci
anything that will yield a profit
whether it has merit or not.
