BOTH JAWS SHOT AWAY

Fresh Meat In Africa.

A recent traveller In South Africa says
that many kinds OF meat are eaten
there which no one In this country
would think of eating, some of which
are very palatable, even to fastidious
Anglo-Saxon taste. Among thos5
which he considers especially delicious
he mentions the giraffe, the Gland, tho
zebra and the guinea fowl Ho also

Grain for Cows on Pasture.

II will pay to feed some grain to the
cows on pasture unless conditions are
exceptional. The amount fed in the
winter should be cut in half in the
summer, except in the dryest months,
when the grain ration may be tenn
porarily increased. Some of the best
dairymen in the country are doing
this, though they are not getting their
money back for It in the summer time.
But their cows go into winter with
more vigor and are healthier as a rule
for the good summer treatment they
have received. 1t is simply one way

Profits in Guinea Hens.

The guinea, which Is so despised
by SO many people, 1 think is one of
the most interesting and profitable
fowls that we have on the farm. They
are great foragers in summer time
when insects and weed seeds are plen-
tiful. They will make their own Hv-
ing on the two articles named above,
either or both of which are a pest to
the farmer. You can trust them in
your garden. They will not bother any
thing that you want. When the wealth
er gets warm in spring you can count
on one egg from each hen every day,
rain or shine. While eggs are not as
large as some eggs, if you want to sell
them they will bring the same price
as other eggs. II you want to eat
them you can't find a finer favored
egg. If you want to eat the guineas
the young ones are just splendid. I
don't think they can be beat by any
fowl 1 think white guineas are best,
as their flesh is whittier and their skin
is more yellow, and they are not so
wild as the colored ones. The white
guineas will usually lay where the
chicken hens lay, especially IL they
have been raised by chicken hens,
which 1 think is the best way to raise
them. expect to have white guineas
while I have chickens.

An OUTRAGEOUS Practice.


The men that buy and sell cows at
the Union Stockyards. Chicago, are
frequently charged with practices that
are far from humane. A story we re-
Gently heard illustrates the point. A
lady living in the outskirts of Chicago
visited the stockyards to purchase
milk COW. She happened upon a COW
with very fine development of udder
and milk veins. AS it happened the
COW had not been MIXED that morn
ing, and the dealer at once had a man
attend to that important function, in
the presence of the lady. The milk
yield of the cow was very great and
the dealer assured her that he got the
same amount of milk each time he
MIXED the COW. The lady paid the
price asked for the COW and took her
away In a few days she returned
saying that the COW gave only a mod
erate-very moderate-amount of
milk, and wanted her money back for
the cow, as she claimed deception had
been used in selling the animal. The
dealer told her he could not give her
back the money, but that no deception
had been practiced. Madam" said
he, how often do you milk that cow?"
Why" replied the lady, 81 milk her
twice a day, as everyone else does
that milks a cow" "Ah, madam" said
the dealer, that accounts for it;
only milked her twice a week.

Milking With Wet Hands.

Milking With Wet Hands.
In milking, the hands do not need
to be wet. The habit of wetting them
should be abandoned, as it is prac-
ucally impossible to keep the hands
moist without using the foam on the
milk as a source of moisture. The
mixer may imagine that by merely
touching his fingers to the top of the
foam no injury comes to the milk, but
the interest of cleanliness. We think
however that some of our writer's
overdraw the matter when they talk
of mixers dipping their fingers into
the milk. The inference is that the
fingers of the mixers reach the solid
milk. The writer has never seen a
case of this kind. According to the
writer's referred to, the mixers dip
their fingers into the milk and convey
to the teats of the cow so much of the
milk that the latter drips from the
teats into the pail and oozes out from
between the fingers in milking. Who
ever saw a case of this kind? But
even at its best, the habit of moisten-
ing the teats with milk is not one that
should be perpetuated. If the hands
were to be moistened at all, pure
water would have to be kept near for
that purpose. This is impracticable.
Therefore let us put aside the practice
Of moistening the teats at all and milk
with dry hands.

Who Adds the FormaIin?

Talking recently with Professor
Eaton of the Illinois Pure Food Com
mission, a representative of the Farm
ers' Review was told that the farmers
that produce the milk are not the
ones that, as a general thing, add the
formalin. The farmer keeps the milk
but short time after it is drawn, and
during that short time it will not sour
1t is the man that keeps it longest
that has the most occasion for add
ing preservatives to it. This may in
some cases be the buyer and in others
the pedd1er. Occasionally the con-
sumner is guilty of the same act, think
ing that it is a harmless way Of keep
ing his milk sweet. 1t would be inter
esting to have a thorough investiga-
ton made of the use of preservatives
by farmers supplying milk to Chicago.

Sawdust as Mulch.

Sawdust makes a good mulch for
various kinds of fruits, especially for
strawberries. Many OF our readers
doubtless live near saw mills where
sawdust can be obtained at a very low
cost. This will save the Strawberries
from becoming dirty and will prevent
the loss of moisture between the rows.
1t also makes a good mulch for goose
berries and currants. In the case of
tree fruits 1t is also useful, but should
not be permitted to pack too closely
around the trees. Perhaps it is most
useful where 1t is not turned under.
Some men are of the opinion that pine
sawdust is rather harmful to the soil.
but 1t would be difficult to demon
strate this.

Reckless Feeding of Grain.

Some men never feed grain to their
cows and some go to the other ex-
treme and feed too much, thus vast
ing high-priced feed material. Only
the man that is to some extent an ex-
perimenter can tell exactly where the
dividing line between profitable and
Improbable feeding of grain is. 1t is
now pretty well established that the
men that have been feeding from If
teen to twenty pounds of grain per
day to their cows have been wasting
a good deal of money. When the
roughage is good hay and silage, from
five to ten pounds of grain per day is
sufficient for all needs in winter. and
half of that quantity will do in sum-
mer. The feeding of too much grain
induces many intestinal diseases and
troubles in cows, just as overfeeding
a human being would do.
