A Fish That Could Talk.

4 natural curiosity captured On the
coast Of Africa on May 5, 1854, by
Eignor Cavana and exhibited in all the
great cities of Europe during the years
1859, 1860, 1861 and 1862, where it was
advertised as the talking fish," was
in reality q species Of the African seal
we'll known to naturalists on account
OF its Wonderful powers Of mimicry.
This particular animal was about
twelve feet in length and weighed
something over 500 pounds. 1t had a
fine, dogIi!Ie head and large, beautiful
black eyes, which seemed to sparkle
with intelligence whenever the crea-
tUre was spoken to by any one. 1t was
very docile and when told to dance
would roll over and over in it's bath
tub, with first tail and then head above
the water, all the time chattering as
though enjoying the sport as much as
the spectators did. 1t soon learned
many odd tricks and, it is claimed,
learned to articulate at least three
words very plainly " viz, mamma y
papa" and John" the last being it's
keepers name. When told to pray it
would clasp it's fippers in the attitude
of supplication and put on a sanctimo-

Is the SilO Profitableg

There are still a great many farmers
who do not believe that it will pay to
build a silo. They have arrived at this
opinion not from experience, but from
theory alone. Yet if you called these
men theorists" and not practical men
they would be offended. Yet are they
not theorists? asks Hoard's Dairyman.
Professor Otis of the Kansas expert
ment station has been making some
very careful experiments and calcula-
tons on this silo question. He finds
that a field Of corn that will yield ten
tons of ensilage per acre will return
5000 per acre. This shows whether
it pays to use the silo or not

MODERN DAlRY,NG.
Striking Differences Between the Cid
Way and the New Way.

Way and the New Way.
In no other industry has there been
greater progress during the last few
years than i'll dairying. The methods
employed by buttermakers ten years
ago will not now be recognized by any
up to date buttermaker, says NJ. Nor
gensen, q prominent Iowa dairyman.
The machinery is different. The but
termaker who at that time was gener-
ally chosen from the ordinary walks of
life is now man who has attended
school for perfecting himself in his
profession. Yet the Iowa buttermaker
Of today comes far from reaching per-
lection, and in order that we may keep
our reputation of making the best but
ter in the country it is necessary that
immediate steps be taken toward I'M
proving our system. An Iowa butter
maker should never be satisfied to fol-
low; he should always aim to lead.
Some years ago one of the leading
questions at conventions was how to
avoid notifies. This is a thing not fire.
Quently spoken of now. The butter
mechanical part Of buttermaking, so
that he knows how to prevent notifies.
The question of most Importance now
is not how to make the high and uni
form grade of butter that used to win
sweepstakes a few years ago, as that
did not often possess keeping qualities.
The butter now in highest demand is
quite different in quality from our fan
cy butter of a few years ago.
Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors to be considered by the
buttermakers at present, and for each
should be kept in view and be the main
centers for all his labors. Some think
that in order that such butter may be
produced it is necessary that the but
ter be made in smaller creamerieS,
where all Of the territory is within
easy reach Of the factory. Others
claim that the central plants have adj
vantages over the smaller ones in man.
ufacturing butter of that quality,
while still others claim that this is
easily done in a whole milk plant, but
not in a creamery run on the hand
separator plan. These various ideas
are not really true. We are able to
make a high grade of butter under
any Of these systems provided the
proper methods are used. Some of the
main factors to be considered in this
connection are the condition of raw
material pasteurization and the use
of commercial starters.
1t was once supposed by a few pro-
gresslve creamerymen that a first class
buttermaker ought to be able to make
good butter from half rotten cream.
Later on experience taught us that
there is no method by which we can
renovate old, overripe cream or milk
and make desirable product from it.
Therefore it is of the utmost impor-
lance that the milk or cream furnished
the creamery is in a clean and sweet
condition and free from all foreign
odors. In order to reach this result
it is necessary for the buttermaker to
gain some influence over his patrons
SO that they will receive his instruc-
tons and feel that they are benefited
thereby.

Locking His Door.

A Philadelphia travelling man was OH
a business trip through Alabama and
one night found himself stranded in a
wretched little town with only one
slipshod, miserable hotel. His room
for the night was the end of a hall,
with sheet hung up to screen him
from view. In the middle of the night
he woke up with his head hanging out
over one end of his cot and his feet
over the other, while a violent draft
was blowing the hanging sheet in all
directions. He called for the house
keeper. what do you want with the
housekeeper? came a voice from some

Wars and Births.

Statistics of population seem to show
that after long and severe wars in
which many men are killed and the
male part of a country's population is
greatly decreased there is for several
years a preponderat ting birth of male
children until the normal proportion
between the sexes is restored. This
seems to have been noted after the
Thirty Years war in Germany, after
the Napoleonic war in France and even
in more recent times after the siege of
Paris.

At home we have kept dairy OF
twenty cows the past year without an
acre of pasture, says A. W. Mowbray,
president of the Minnesota Dairymen's
association Until July Is the COWS
were given large yard and fed on corn
silage, clover hay and wheat bran. The
bran was used because our corn crop
last year was a total failure. July 10
they were given the run of thirty acre
meadow from which we had cut a
heavy crop of June and alsike clover
and timothy
This is the first year we have tried
the plan, and l am glad to be able to
say it has proved entirely satisfactory.
We cannot afford to devote good tlla-
BILE land, worth $50 per acre, to pasture
when by a little more work the COWS
can be fed and the entire farm cropped.
Without the aid of the silo this method
could not be successfully adopted.
A silo sixteen feet in diameter and
thirty feet high will hold about $50
tons of corn, or the crop Of nine acres.
In this amount we have approximately
5000 pounds Of protein, as much as is
found in thirty tons Of good clover hay,
or the product of possibly twelve acres,
or as much as is contained in fifty tons
of timothy hay, twenty-five acres Of an
average crop. Thus it will be seen that
in one acre Of corn silage we have as
much protein as in one and one-third
acres Of clover hay or in two and seven
ninths Of timothy hay.

Look Out For the Manure Heap.
But few dairymen appreciate the eX-
tent to which manure gets into the milk
and the injury it does. 1t should be re-
moved from the stable at least three
times day, carried some distance from
the barn and preferably spread at once
upon the fields. A manure heap near
the barn is source of trouble to dairy
men.
1t is a good practice to carry the milk
from each cow as soon as MIXED out

a clean vessel in the open air. Cows
should never be fed just before or dur

A Calf Sold For $4,000.
The proprietors of the Brothertown
stock farms near Deansboro, N. Y,
sold the nineweeks-old son of Sadie
Vale Concordia, their world record Hol-
stein Friesian COW, to Messrs. Henry
Stevens & Son of Tacoma, n Y, for
a price reported to be $4,000. Sadie
Vale Concordia completed her sixty day
butter test on March q, 1902, scoring
220 pounds of butter in that time. The
calf is the bluest blooded bull living to-
day. His dam, Sadie Vale Concordia,
made 80 pounds 1912 ounces of butter
in seven days, 1913 pounds 9.5 ounces in
thirty days and 220 pounds in sixty
days, all worlds records All the blood
in the bull is of the highest strain, and
Messrs. Henry Stevens & Son have
drawn prize in him, even at the
enormous reported price of $4,000

Cows at the Fair.
The cow demonstration of the worlds
fair at St Louis next year has been
definitely arranged on a broader scale
than anything heretofore attempted. 1t
has been designated as a "cow demon
stration" because, while not in any
way neglecting the dairy test idea de-
veloped at former worlds fairs, it is
intended to illustrate in a comprehen-
sive way the practical adaptabilities of
the pure bred COW.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Professor Hurd, newly appointed to
the agricultural department at Orono,
Me-, speaking of cheap foods for the
dairy cow, says of grasses and pas
lures:
among other grasses I will call
your attention to the Russian bronze,
which has not been widely distributed
over the country, but the following
good qualities which it possesses make
it one of the most promising grasses,
especially for pasture lands.
.'It can endure almost any degree Of
cold and can stand high temperature
during the summer months. 1t with
stands well either drought or excessive
moisture. It natures early, ripens soon
after it heads, and live stock relish it
more than any of the grasses, with
perhaps the exception of orchard grass.
Its feeding value equals that of
timothy. Some fault has been found
with this grass because a tendency to
thicken at the base retards it's growth,
but that seems an advantage It's real
value is in pasture rather than hay 1t

than others, furnishes late pasture and
is worthy of strong Endorsement.
"Its chief drawback is the high price
of seed, which is sown at the rate of
fifteen pounds to the acre. A small
quantity brought to maturity can be
grown for seed and will in a measure
overcome this difficulty. There is no
forage crop that will do more to main
tain the fertility of the soil than the
clovers"
Feeding For Butter Fat.
Feeding fat nutrients to put butter
fat into milk has been tried by many
careful experimenters and feeders, and
the general conclusion is that the breed
and individuality of the COW determine
the matter and that you cannot make
Holstein cow give Jersey milk by feed
ing fat. That feed affects milk and
butter in many ways we well know, but

fat into milk has not yet been found"
