Making Corn Oil.

Oil. said to be superior to hnseed Oil
for mixing paints, is now extracted from
corn. Heretofore crude oil has been
obtained by pressure, but the latest
method is to extract it by what is known
as the solvent process, as employed at
the new corn-oil mill at Decatur, ILL.,,
the only one of its kind in the country.
The process is simple in theory, but
somewhat complicated in application.
The solvent used is light oil subject to
evaporation. The oil-bearing portions
of the corn are stepped in the solvent,
which takes up the corn oil. The sol
vent is then drawn from the bottom OF
the tank, in which this part of the proc
ess takes place. The two oils are sepa-
rated by distillation. The corn oil is
passed through filter presses to remove
PARTICLES of starch or other foreign mat
ter and is then ready for the market.
The solvent is condensed and carried
back to the storage tank to be used
again. The corn from whichthe oil has
been extracted is steamed, and is then
ready for the market as a feed. The
process of separating this oil from the
corn is similar to that of separating
sugar from beets, the difference being IN
the solvent used. The stock feed is not
entirely devoid of oil. Enough is left to
make it per cent oil, which it is claim
ed is a sufficient ratio of oil in we'll
balanced feed. The feed is not in the
form of cake as it comes from the lin
seed oil mills, but is in the shape of a
dry meal, partly cooked and partly di'
gested. Gentleman.

JERSEYS and GuernseyS.

These natives of the two channel
islands, whose names they bear, are
dairy cattle to all intents and purposes,
and are celebrated for yielding milk un-
commonly rich in butter fat. They are
wholly distinct breeds, quite as much so
as any other two breeds in the country,
and the purity of their blood has for a
long time been carefully guarded by the
local authorities. The peculiarly rich
milk they yield is quality made heredi-
tary partly by the genial climate of the
islands, and partly by the kindly way
they have been treated for generations.
In point of fact, there are no breeds
elsewhere whose breeding and manage
ment for centuries have been more care
fully attended to and they are held in
high esteem in the United States and
Canada. The Jerseys are particularly
elegant, and pleasing in form and color
commonly fawn or silver grey. The
Guernseys are larger, coarser, less shape
ly, and their color is dull yellow patch
ed with white.
These two breeds have been main
tanned in their purity by local acts OF
parliament which forbid the importation
of other breeds into the islands.-The

Care of Farrowing Sows.

Put the sows in their respective pens
two or three weeks before farrowing,
so they may get accustomed to their
surroundings. If possible, be in at
tendance when the critical hour arrives,
says c. G. Lawson in Blooded Stock.
If they have been treated right you can
be of great service. Every pig saved
and started in life successfully is so
much cash saved, for that is what the
sows have been kept for these last four
months.
After narrowing is over give no feed
for about twelve hours. Then provide
some tepid water into which mix a
little mill feed. No solid food is really
necessary for twenty-four hours. Begin
gradually and do not feed strongly for
about two weeks. This is to avoid giving
the pigs scours by large flow of milk,
as they will always lose when securing.
After the pigs are two weeks old the
sows should be fed strongly with mid
dlings and some corn if desired. Pro-
vide a side-pen for the pigs and let
them learn to eat some shelled corn.
One thing to be remembered with
hogs kept for breeding or fattening is
to keep supply of charcoal at hand to
which the hogs can have access at all
times

HAY Ration for a Horse.

Prof. Kennedy replies to CORE
spondent of the Drovers' Journal who had
asked how long ton of good clover or
timothy hay would feed horse under
ordinary circumstances.
"Our correspondent can very easily
figure out just how long a ton of hay
will feed horse, providing he has the
weight of the animal. Horses of differ
ent sizes require different amounts of
hay. AS general rule most men feed
too much hay to their horses. A horse
weighing 1000 pounds should not have
over l2 to l3 pounds per day, thus one
ton would feed such an animal about
100 to 165 days. A horse weighing
l 800 to l,6O0 pounds should not have
over Is or l6 pounds per day, thus it is
very easy to figure out the length of
time ton would feed an animal of this
size.
"Mixed hay, such as timothy and
clover, providing it was cut at the proper
season and thoroughly cured, should
give very good results. Timothy is
preferred to clover for feeding to driving
horses, due to the fact that it is con-
sidered to be more substantial. On the
other hand, clover hay is preferable for
fattening horses"

A Small Flock of Sheep.

A contributor to the American Agri
culturist relates his experience as fol,
lows:
keep a few sheep with the dairy, fol
| think they require so little attention
My sheep are housed only during bad
storms until the lambs begin to drop,
and seldom have a weak lamb. Last
year my six ewes dropped II lambs and
raised them all. sold them In Angus,
at five cents per pound alive, and they
weighed just 1850 pounds, bringing
S52. 80. The ewes sheared 40 pounds OF
wool, which sold for II cents per pound
netting 1888, or a total of S60.S3 from
six ewes. A single lamb generally will
be larger than twin, but my heaviest
lamb weighed lis pounds, and his twir
Ill pounds. Much depends on the
ewes as mixer, as to size of lambs.

bought a registered Shropshire eve, anG

My sheep all dropped lambs except one
within a week, and four pairs of twins
and two sets of triplets is the record
and all strong, healthy lambs. My
sheep are about as tame as house cat

Care of Live Stock.
THE ECONOMY OF KINDNESS TOWARD
FARM ANIMALS.

c. B. Atkin in Michigan Farmer saws
kind treatment is always economy in
the care and handling of live stock.
The little attentions, small in them
selves, that cost no outlay save the
thoughtfulness of the attendant, 60 far
towards maintaining that condition of
comfort and contentment by which our
farm animals return the greatest profit
for food consumed. The careful farmer
and feeder understands that every time
an animal is needlessly excited or dis
turbed, it costs him money. Whether
the profits are sought from the dairy
COW, the fattening steer, or working
horse, the delicate and wonderful ma
chinery of the digestive system-through
which the roughage of our farms and
more expensive grains must pass, to
be converted into flesh and blood-and
the waste material returned to fertilize
the soil, the nearer that condition of re-
pose and contentment can be maintained,
the better will be the returns for food
consumed.
The whip has it's proper place only in
the hands of the person who knows
when to stop using it. 1t is seldom that
its use is not misuse. 1t creates fear
and excitement instead of confidence
and contentment in the presence of the
master, or at the approach of stranger.
Good care-but not cOddling-plain,
wholesome food and plenty of it, will
bring about that condition to promote
rapid growth and development of form,
aud laying on of flesh, produced at the
lowest cost-and therefore greatest
profit, which result is the studied pur.
pose of every up-to-date farmer and
feeder.

What Farmers Need.

Some of the agricultural writer's are
discussing the question, what farmers
need most" What New England farm
ers most need is faith in their business
a faith that will prompt to up and at It,
to an extension of effort, to larger opera
tions, to an investment of surplus means
in their own business instead of consign
ing it to the savings banks to be used IL
building up distant cities. There is tot
much of the disposition on the farm to
narrow down the business rather thar
exnand il. to draw it into a smaller com
pass, all of which means in the end, t'
him who is engaged in it, to be less OF
man and less of factor in public affairs
New England country life is living too
much on past achievements. The ain
should be to continue its growth II
wealth and in production, and go on Il
n still higher standard in all that ha
made her influential and prosperous II
the past.-Maine Farmer.

The Revolution in Canada Fairs.

The Canadian Fairs are vigorously
set against the side show nuisance and
racing and gambling. The Farmers
Advocate says:
The honest efforts being made by ex-
hibition managers in this country, in
Difference to public opinion, to raise the
standard of our fairs from the moral
point of view, and to make them useful
and helpful to all the people, as well as
attractive and entertaining, should be
Loyalty encouraged and supported alike
by farmers and city people. These fairs
were primarily instituted for the benefit
of farmers, by fostering Improvement of
the type and quality of live stock, and of
agricultural products generally. 1t is
with this view that they are aided by
grants of public money to be expended
in prizes for the purpose of stimulating
competition in the production of the
best in all lines of agricultural and in
dustrial effort, and dissemination OF
high-class, pure-bred stock throughout
the country.
With the institution of special indus
trial exhibitions in large centers came
| the introduction of eXtraneouS attrac-
| ions and amuSements calculated to in
crease the crowd of attendants, and
which for time had that effect, though
at the expense of the usefulness and
wholesomeness of the exhibition, either
as an agricultural or an industrial adj
vantage. Unfortunately, the deleterious
influence of these innovations was not
confined to the larger shows, but spread
to the county and township fairs, we'll
nigh spelling their usefulness by turn
ing the attention of the people mainly to
the race course and circus performances,
while the useful features of the fair
were neglected. Happily, proper
sense of the folly of such a prostitution
of the purposes of the fair has dawned
upon the minds of the people. Saner
counsel has prevailed with fair boards,
and the programme of the fair is again
on the up grade, the degrading features
having been eliminated from the bill of
fare of the leading exhibitions, and in
their stead have been introduced whole
some and helpful features, which are
not only interesting and entertaining,
but also educative and elevating. As
before intimated, the public should show
its appreciation of these improvements,
encouraging the disposition to take high
or ground, not only by attending the
fairs and taking the family along, but
by preparing something in the way OF
exhibits to contribute to the volume OF
good things shown.-Maine Farmer.

Management of Cows in Holland.

Holland has often been called the
cows paradise and it well deserves the
name. In the care and kindly treat
ment of their cows the Dutch can not be
surpassed.
In Holland the cows are turned out to
pasture in May, and do not return to
the stable until November. During the
cold, damp days of early spring they
wear blankets in the pasture TO protect
them from the weather. At milking
time they are not driven to the barn to
be milked. as is the custom in this coun.
try, but instead the milkmaids go to the
cows wherever they may be in the pas
ture and carry back the milk, not wish
ing to give the cows any unnecessary
travel.
From the time they leave the barn in
Nav until they return in autumn they
receive no feed other than grass. Dur
ing the winter the grain feed consists al
most entirely of oil cake, feeding from
two to four pounds each day. The prin'
cipal feed, however, is hay, each COW re-
ceiving nearly thirty pounds daily. II
takes the great capacity OF these cows
10 handle so large quantity of hay
The cows are put in the stable IN the
fall, and are not let out again until the
following spring. During this time they
are given the best of care; scarcely an
hour passes day or night that they are
not visited by an attendant. They are
watered, fed and MIXED with the great
est regularity and given every comfort
possible.
The Dutch owe their success in ne
small degree in establishing so fine
breed of dairy cattle to the careful selec
ton of their breeding stock. Only a
few of the choicest bulls are kept fol
sires, and the greatest care is also exer
cised in selecting females. In this
country nothing but black and white
Holsteins are eligible to registry, ans
red and white are met with only occasion
ally. while in Holland the red and white
are numerous and seen in all parts OF
the country. In the province of Fries
land there are three men who are breed
inc nothing but red and white Holstein
Friesians. Mirror and Farmer.
