Experience in Dairy Work.
Progressive Farmer:
Wake Co., N. @.

A reader of The Farmer, who is new in the
business of farming, says he and his wife have de-
termined to try to have good butter-milk and
cream. He says he will furnish her with the best
COWS, and she writes me that the best butter she
ever ate was in the bluegrass country of Ken
lucky, and asks for a few suggestions as to their
method of caring for milk vessels, ETC..
You are certainly right for wishing to investi-
gate this part of the work, for a very successful
dairyman told me that it was imperative to have
scrupulous care in the handling and cleaning of
the milk vessels, crooks, pals, etc.; that they
should be washed as soon as possible after being
used, and that they must be kept free from rust.
and that it was economy to throw a rusty pail
away at once. Milk and butter take on impurities
SO quickly and bacteria and disease germs multiply
very rapidly, so you must give particular attention
to the seams If you use can and finish by rinsing
with scalding water in which a little borax has
been dissolved, as it disinfects and puriies. Milk
vessels should be washed first with cold water, then
with hot water in which enough soap or pearline
has been added to make good suds; wipe dry,
and set right side up in the fresh air and sun
shine and they will keep clean and sweet. 1t Is
an error to turn them upside down on a table, or
to hang them on a stake, for hot air arises and
has no way to escape and causes the milk to sour.
A great deal of milk is tainted in this way. A
good dairyman will have his milkmen wash their
hands in a little borax water to cleanse under the
nails. 1t is safe and cheap. Try these few helps.

Experiments In Poultry Feeding.
Editors Progressive Farmer

Editors Progressive Farmer:
In the United States corn is a favorite feed for
chickens, though as Professor Wheeler states.
common grains 'seem practically interchange
able"
In Ontario, an important poultry region, ac-
cording to Professor Graham, of the Ontario
Agricultural College, wheat is the most popular
feed. Corn is not used there to so great an e-
tent as in New England, though he believes, from
it's high fuel value, that it is an important addi-
ton to winter ~rations. Oats, owing to the large
percentage of hull, are omewhat indigestible.
Barley is very good, and by many considered next
to wheat.
The practice of successful poultry raisers and
the results of numerous tests show that the days
rations should be made up of both whole grain
and grain ground up into a mash.
Opinions differ as to the proper time fog feed
ing whole grain and mash. An objection to feed
ing mash in the morning, it is stated, is that
the hen is likely to become gorged with food and
take to the roost for the rest of the day, resulting
in her becoming too fat and egg production small
The objection to feeding the mash at night is that
it becomes quickly digested, and the bird has not
sufficient food to last it during the long winter
night; but this objection can be overcome by
giving a little whole grain after the mash at
night.
In experiments at the West Virginia Station.
the egg production was practically the same
whether the mash was fed in the morning or at
night.
A test at the Utah Station showed that pullets
fed dried blood as a part of the ration began
earlier than those given none.
The experiments of the New York Station
bring out very clearly the Importance of pro-
viding laying hens will rations containing an
abundance of mineral matter, a point sometimes
neglected. Rations should be well supplied with
lime and phosphates, essential in the formation
of bone, shells and tissues. Mineral matter is
largely lacking in grains, but can be supplied by
animal food, oyster shells and bone ash.

sioner of Pensions Ware, with the
approval OF Secretary Hitchcock,
has issued an order asking the tol.
lowing change in the considera-
tions in pension rating:
"In the adjudication of pension

disabled one half in ability to per-
form manual labor and is entitled
to be rated at $6 per month; after So
years at IS per month, after 6S years
$40 per month and after 20 years at
$12 per month. Allowances at high
er rate not exceeding Slipper month,
will continue to be made as hereto
fore, where disabilities other than
age show condition of inability to
perform manual labor"
This order shall take effect April
l3, 1904, and shall not be deemed re-
troactive. The former rules of the
Office fixing the minimum and max
imum years at 75 years, respective
