A BUTTER FAT RECORD.


a NOxC1 kSGoG0G0 ny the 0UGx10Gy
Cow Charmante.
A new worlds butter tat record for
year has recently been made, 676.4
pounds. This wonderful performance
has been accomplished by the Guernsey
cow Charmante OF the Gron 14442), I'M
ported and owned by 81. Mex. Twom-
bly,, Morris county, n. J.
During the year this cow gave q to-
tal Of 11,S74.76 pounds of milk, with
an average Of ST. per cent OF butter fat.
This is equivalent to 1892 pounds OF
butter, or an average OF .16 pounds Of
butter day. The test started Oct IL,
1902. 1t was conducted under the SUI
pervision OF the New Jersey agriculture
al experiment station. This record is
the best ever made by COW of any
breed in the world where public super.
vision has been given.
Just how wonderful it is is possibly
| best shown by comparison with other
official records of Guernsey cows, as
| published by the American Guernsey
Cattle club In a list of seventy three
| records only one COW has given more
| milk in the course of year. This an.
imal was Gleuwood Girl VI. GLIB, who
gave 12,187.33 pounds of milk, which,
however, only produced 572.30 pounds
of butter fat, or 1O4 pounds less than
Charmante of the Gron.
Three cows have produced milk with
! better average butter fat test. In
each case their years milk record was
small. Mary Marshall 5000 gave S,212.-
| 81 pounds Of milk. testing 500 per cent
butter fat and making 1854 pounds;
Eulalie of Elm Place Q439S) produced
| 7,02630 pounds of milk, testing 6.21
per cent butter fat, equaling 1852
pounds, and Zelma gave GO6S.20 pounds
Of milk, testing 5.77 per cent butter fat
totaling 34O.34 pounds. This last rec
ord is barely half that of Charmante
! Of the Gron.
The two next best records to the new
one are those of Portia Of Maplehurst
II, 62265 pounds of milk, testing 5.2e
per cent and making 6O237 pounds OF
butter fat, and Pritoria's 11,528.84
pounds of milk, testing So per cent
and yielding $685. pounds of butter
fat.
A glance at the monthly records
shows that Charmante's production was
the highest during January, when she
gave 1921 .06 pounds of milk testing 81
per cent and producing 6S.38 pounds OF
butter fat. The lowest production was iI
September, when the milk yield was
1 71O.25 pounds, testing 6 per cent and
making 1862 pounds butter fat.
Charmante was imported in 1901
| from the herd Of Mr.. E. A. Hambro Of
Kent, England. She was dropped July
Z, 1896, and is well marked cow Of
good dairy conformation and has al
excellent udder. She dropped a bull
| calf Oct. 6, 1902, and he is developing
into an animal of much promise

Things That Are Said.

Some men are so greedy that they
would rather get little for nothing
than to earn much
Town and country are getting to-
gether. Local oranges in certain cities
and large towns are becoming strong
and powerful. To reasonable extent
this movement is to be encoura ged.
To succeed in any branch of farming
one must know how to do it and have
the inclination to do as well as he
knows.
Good country roads are to a rural
community just what railroads are to
the section of country through which
they are operated.
Men who quit farming and retire
soon come to be looked upon as old
plows and played out reapers that will
scarcely pay for storage.

WHAT TO DO WITH STRAW.

=
Views Of One Who Doesn,t Care to
Work When There's Nothing In It.
We have seven work horses fed on
bran and straw, without hay or corn,
and they remain in good condition
through the busy season, but when it
requires so much expensive food to
make straw a part Of the daily ration
1t can be made SO only to limited ex-
tent or under exceptional circum.
stances.
Straw is an excellent bedding for
stock and should be used in sufficient
quantity to prevent loss of liquid ma
nure. This on most farms will con-
sumo a larger amount than will be
eaten by stock. It is very easy, how
ever, to use more straw than is prof
table. We are learning that large
bulk is not desirable in manures.
Bulky manures when made of straw
largely do not pay cost of handling
any great distance Even when spread
on fields near the barn it makes a great
difference where twenty loads of ma
nure per acre are required to do the
work that should be done by ten.
The practice of covering stock yards
with straw and turning stock thereon
during pleasant days in winter is a
fairly good one if care is taken not to
allow the yard to leach. One of the
best winter provisions for flock Of
sheep is to have a straw stack in their
run which they will work down during
the winter.
But after we have fed straw and
bedded stock as much as is profitable
on wheat farms, and the question as
to disposal to best advantage remains
unsolved. When it can be sold at a
net profit of 81 ton it should be put
upon the market. When the location is
near some city or strawboard factory
this can always be done. Sometimes it
will pay to have straw baled and ship
it to a distant market but only those
who live near railroad station can
do so. >.~
So the only plan left on the great
majority of farms is to allow stacks to
rot down. In such case they are in
the way in cultivated fields, occupy
valuable space and when rotted down
the manure isn't very valuable. Even
on land where vegetable matter is de-
fcient straw isn't the best thing to
supply the need. It takes lots of work
to haul it out and scatter it on the
land, and then it is difficult to turn
under. Green manures are far cheaper
to put humus into the soil, for there is
no cost of hauling or spreading, and
they contain many times as much plant
food as straw
We may be criticised for our prac
tce the past few years, but after ma.
ture deliberation we can see no better
plan of getting rid of our surplus straw
than to stick match to it. We have
tried baling and shipping, spreading il
on the ground and turning it under
but neither plan pays. When a stack
Is burned down we have few loads
Of ashes that when distributed on poor
points show good results. We have
arrived at that stage of the game in
our farming, concludes an Ohio Farm
er correspondent, where we don't care
to work when it isn't going to pay. Sc
we shall continue to burn our straw
until some one tells us how to dispose
of it to better advantage.

FARMERS INSTITUTE WORK

Enthusiasm In This New Line OF
Agricultural Education.
The normal institute for farmers in
Btitute lecturers at the close Of No
vember at the agricultural experiment
station at Geneva, n. Y, is reported by
American Agriculturist as having been
very successful. The objects were:
To post institute workers on all that
Is new in the various lines of agricul-
tural work and investigation, bring
them into closer touch with the expert
ment station, to compare notes and ex-
periences, sort out facts and theories
and show what is true, doubtful and
false, and to secure uniformity in in
stitute work.
The programme consisted of lectures
by various members of the station
staff on the following subjects: Germ
life, sources and control: fundamentals
of plant diseases; fundamentals Of
insect life. spraying liquids and APP
paratus, cheese biology and diseases,
animal nutrition, orchard management,
station work, needs and prospects, fer
tiliZer inspection and markets, feeding
chard scales, fruit diseases and the
practical relations Of cheese inyestiga-
tons. Some of the lectures were illus
trated by stereOpticOn, others by
charts, specimens, microscopic prep
arations, etc. Each person was sup
piled with an outline containing the
principal points brought out in each Of
the lectures. There was also a full
discussion after each lecture.
Besides the members of the station
staff about twenty-five persons were
in regular attendance. Some sessions
were attended by seven or eight from
Cornell university and elsewhere
Among the latter We're John Hamilton
of Washington and Director b. C. Buff

siasm ran high. A prominent feature
of the meeting was the evident desire
Of all present to learn the truth No
time was wasted in controversy. Di-
rector e. e. Dawley thinks that it will
have a decidedly beneficial effect in
increasing the efficiency of the insti-
tute workers. This movement, so aus
piciously managed at Geneva. seems
destined to spread and become an inn
portant factor in agricultural educa-
ton not only in New York, but in other
states.
