More of Dr. -Johnson's Letters Found Eight rev letters of Dr. Samuel John sons have been discovered. and are pub- hshed in the London Sphefe. Among them Is the fast letter pr. Johnson ever wrote with his own hand. six days before his death. It follows:
 'Sir-I was not sure that I read your figures right, and therefore must trouble you to set down in words how much of my pension I can call for now, and how much will be due to me at Christmas. l am. sir,
 Your most humble servant,
 sam Johnson. Dec :, 17S4." " He did not live to see Christmas, nor write more of bis admirable letters These were gathered by George Birkbeck H!ll into two volumes some time ago, end published by the Hampers. It will be Ie- called that Dr. Hill edited what is. now regarded as the standard edition of BosweIls Life of Johnson, and collected all the other available Johnsoniana into two volumes of Miscellanies.

Tho manure-coated COW Is a proof

Scrub cows, on scrub farms, fed on
scrub rations, cared for by scrub per-

ter that is hardly good enough for axle

Fresh cream and ripened cream
mixed will always result in dubious

Some cows set the "dairy marks" of
the experts at defiance and give large
yields of good milk. All the same, tho

Opportunities for Dairymen

Opportunities for Dairymen.
Last year England imported 10000
tons of butter. The United States ex-
ported about 1000 tons. These facts
leave a fair inference that England
offers an open market for more than
so times as much butter as we are in
the habit of exporting. England's pur-
chases of this article from foreign
countries and from her colonies
amount to about $100,00o,00O q year.
Our export sales of it approximate
$1,5Oo,0OO. England purchased last
year about 136, 900 tons of cheese. Our
total exports were in the vicinity Of
5000 tons, worth about $2,250, 900.
Canada, whom we are prone to regard
as an economic inferior, exported ten
times as much as We did. This leaves
a fair inference tina. there is in Eng
land alone a possible market for some
$4o.o0o,0 900 worth of cheese every year.

SOUNDS LIKE GOOD SENSE
Canadian Expert Says That Dairy
Cows Need But Very Little Ex.
ercise in Winter.

Regarding he exercise OF dairy cows
in. winter, Mr.. Glendinning, speaking
before the Western Ontario Dairymens
association, said: *.
my experience is that q COW does
not require much exercise when she is
giving lot Of milk, and we do not
make a practice of letting our COWS
out. \ l will give you an experience I
had two years ago. hired a man to
take care Of the stock, and I put him
in charge while was out on institute
work. He had been there q couple of
weeks, and went to the stable Sunday
morning, and he said: Say, boss.
don't you think it would be q good
thing to let these cows out and give
them little exercise?' He had always
worked for men who gave their cows
good deal of exercise; they gener-
ally had a straw stack. I said l did
not think they needed it. Well, he
thought they would be better, and I
thought 1t was an opportunity to teach
him lesson. There were two rows
of cows, eight in each row, Is giving
milk and one dry, and said: You
can let the cows out If you have mind
to- 1t was a nice, warm morning, and
the snow was melting little outside.
He said: I will let this stable out
first No. l said. turn out both these
rows He said: There will be an aw.
full run: We will never get them in
He turned them out, and the cows
backed out, and went out Just the same
as they would if they had been turned
out every day, and every one of them
went out In that way till we came to
the dry one, and she went out with a
Jump; and when the others saw her
running, they thought they would take
run, and they ran across the barn.
yard four roos, and then they began
to stop and look around as much as to
say: Well, THU is not very ladylike,'
and every one of these cows went into
the stable inside of ten minutes. |
told him to let the doors remain open,
and not drive any of them in, and they
all went In except tho one that was
dry. That was about The first of Feb
ruary, and these COWS had not been
out Of the stalls from the 9Th day Of
December. think If the dairy COW
required a good deal Of exercise these
COWS would have required it. They
were giving good lot Of milk and
were well fed. have nct very much
hesitation in saying the dairy COW does
not require very much exercise. She
has a great deal of exercise In working
up the product she consumes in the
milk"

BUYING MILK FOR CHEESE.
Payment on the Basis Of Fat It Con-
tains IL Fair for All Parties
Concerned.

Cheese factories are rapidly changing
in many parts Of the country to the
method Of purchasing their milk by the
Babcock test. paying for it according to
the amount of fat it contains. This is as
it should be. The old idea that the
amount Of fat in the milk had nothing
to do with the amount Of cheese it would
make is entirely erroneous; and besides,
it tends to develop poor conditions for
both cheese factory and patrons. When
patrons come to realize that the amount
Of cheese made is dependent upon the
amount of fat in the milk, those who are
producing good milk will demand that
their milk be paid for on a fat basis.
otherwise the man with the poor milk
will receive part Of the returns that
should come to them.
Prof. e. H. Harrington says that for
every pound Of butter-fat contained In
100 pounds of milk 26 pounds Of cheese
can be made. Thus, milk with three per
cent. fat in it would make cheese that
would weigh rs pounds, while II the
buttsr-fat amounted to four pounds in
100 pounds Of milk, that Is, was what we
call four per cent. milk, the amount of
cheese made would be- 1914 pounds. Prof.
Harrington is an expert in these matters
and his figures are probably as accurate
as can be obtained. They demonstrate
very forcibly the ACCESSIBILITY Of buying
by the test even for cheese making.
Moreover, the quality of the cheese IS
influenced by the quantity of fat in the
milk as the greater the per cent. of fat
in the milk the richer the cheese. Pay
ment for the milk on the fat basis will
cause an effort to breed for q richer
quality of milk, and this will react upon
the average quality Of cheese from that
factory, enabling 1t to bring a better
price on the market and in the end will
result in higher prices for the milk.
Like many other farm operations, in
studying the effect of given action, we
must look beyond the immediate effect
II We would realize the full possibilities.
