Danish Butter Not All Danish.

It is quite evident that the reputa.
ton made by Danish butter is being
traded upon by the other continental
nations. Some letters have recently
appeared in a daily pape. Of London
to the effect that several European ma.
tions are shipping butter to Denmark
for the sake of having it shipped out
again under the name of Danish. Rus.
sia and Sweden in particular are given
to this practice. One of the letter
writer's declares that he watched a
Swedish steamer unloading in Copen-
hagen and among the casks landed
were several branded Danish Butter"
The brand was in English. These
casks were consigned to a large ex.
porting firm. The inevitable conclu.
sion was that the butter was intended
to be consumed in England as Danish
butter. The same man saw large con-
signments Of Russian butter being
landed at the same time The British
consul general in Poland has been in
vestigating the matter and finds that
much Polish and Lithuanian butter is
shipped to Denmark, from which coun.
try it is sent to England under brands
unknown to it in the country of it's
origin. The English writer's declare
that the nearly 10000 tons of so-called
Danish butter shipped into England
last year could not all have been pro.
duced in Denmark.

Writer in Les!ie's Weekly Declares
They Are Too Small.
Probably no class of workers has
actually shared less in the prosperity
OF the country during the past few
years than clergymen. The cost Of
living has greatly increased in these
same years, while their stipends. as
a rule, have remained the same. The
minister is restrained by the character
Of his profession, as men Of other pro-
tessions are not in indulging in busi-
ness speculation ON his own account,
no matter what opportunities he may
have, although he is expected at the
same time. with his family, to maintain
a standard of living as high at least
as the average of his congregation or
OF the community in which he lives.
As matter of fact, if the average
salary paid to ministers throughout
the country were increased at once
by fifty per cent, it would only be an
act of common justice and fair dealing
to a class of men to whom the country
owes far more for more light and
leadership than money itself can ever
repay.-Leslie's Weekly.

a debatable question whether or not
soiling is profitable under most condi-
tions. Unlimited testimony can be fur
nished showing great gain from every
point of view of>even partial soiling as
an amendment to the pasture. Wheth-
er soiling should be substituted en-
tirely for grazing is business matter
which should be decided according to
the conditions involved. In the first
place much more food is produced per
unit Of area by soiling than by pastur.
age. Armsby found that two soiling
crops in one season, for instance rye
followed by corn, yielded five times as
1,uch digestible organic matter as pas
ture sod when the whole growth on
tae latter was plucled without waste,
the quantities being respectively 5,S45
POUNDS and 1,125 pounds. It is vari.
9usly estimated from observation and
practice that three to five times as
many animals can be supported on a
given area by soiling as by grazing.

Walls Of Poultry Houses.

! svatiS " cOOsSSy S1OuSSo'
( In the warmer parts of the United
States poultry house walls are con-
structed solid or single. Such walls
are all right for localities where there
is little very cold weather or where
very cold weather endures for but
short time. But In the colder states
it Is better to build the walls double,
which gives an air space. This air
space prevents the passage Of both
cold and moisture. The heat inside
OF the poultry house is therefore more
uniform, and this makes it possible for
the poultryman to get better results
from his work. Sudden changes of
temperature are doubtless very unde-
sirable iE a poultry house: Thus, after
a sudden change from warm to cold
weather the fowls will quit laying alto
gether for time, but if the cold
weather continues will soon renew,
showing that it was not 50 much the
cold as the change that affected them.
Where there are hollow walls the
buildings are warmer in winter and
correspondingly colder in summer.
II the walls of poultry houses be-
come very cold in winter, dampness is
the result, as the moisture in the
warmer air inside is condensed. This
occurs more frequently with single
and solid walls than with double walls.
It Is advisable to use building paper
between the walls, thus doubling the
air space. In buying this paper en-
deavor to buy the best. Much Of the
tarred building paper on the market is
very poor stuff, but there is some that
is very impervious to wind and air.
The local dealer may not carry it, but
send away for it if necessary. When
the tarred paper is put on be sure
that the work is done right. Many
permitted to do so, especially if they
have contract for the job. The
tarred paper should be Tapped enough
to prevent the passage OF air around
| the edges. The boards on the outside
of the double wall should have the
joints broken with the boards on the
inside, so that the places Of Joining

age small draft through the cper.
tures
In the more southern sections of the
country where the single wal! is to be
used, the cracks between the boards
should be battened with building pa
per and laths. This is too often neg
lected and the writer has seen out
buildings in the south where the
cracks we're so large that one could see
through the entire building when rods
away. A good many poultry houses
are constructed and maintained in the
same way. Where the climate is warm
the poultry.keepers do not seem to
! realize that the cracks are undesirable.
They say that the boards strain out
the coarsest Of the cold and this is
enough" But when the cold night
comes the birds catch cold, and roup
and other diseases develop. Batten.
ing cracks is such an inexpensive op-
Grafton that there would seem to be
no excuse for not doing it, except lack
of time. In such case, why keep
fowls at all? What is known as a
"shiftless" poultry raiser can never be
successful one.

Glasgow to Sell Milk.

Writing in the Glasgow Evening
Times, Councillor Joseph Burgess re.
fers to the probability of a municipal
depot being opened for the supply of
milk for the infants Of Glasgow. He
says: Il believe we are on the eve
OF another new departure in munich
palization in Glasgow. hope it is one
that will commend itself to the good
sense and hearty support of the citi:
zens. The deaths of infants under one
year of age in Glasgow during 1901
was 1902, which represents a death
rate per LOCO born of 149. In 1899 the
rate was 152, and in 1900 it was 15S.
The general improvement in the
health of the community is not trace
able in the bills of infant mortality.
Taking averages of five years, the
rate for 18S6-1S90 equalled 143 per
1000 births; for the five years, 1891
1896, it was LAG per 1000 births; for
the five years, 1895-1900, it was ISL
per 1000 births. The general death.
rate of the city, averaging the 1O
years from 1881 to 1890, was 24.2 per
1000. From 1891 to 1900 it was 21.5.
Most of this decrease is due to the ad.
dltion of the suburban districts, but
that factor has not affected the in
fantile mortality favorably. 1t is
higher than it was fifteen years ago.
Density OF population in the districts
and density per room undoubtedly are
factors in producing these differences
IN d1arrhoeal death-rates. But an i'm
portant contributory factory is the ig:
aorance of the mothers. Infantile
deaths from food diseases are multi
piled by the necessity which compels
many mothers to leave their children
to so to work in factories. This is the
cause of the high dcath-rate in Ian
cashire."
Referring to DR.. Listers statistics
as to infantile mortality, the writer
says: "About three-fourths of these
deaths occur in infants artiicially fed
and the disease is set up by contain
ination in the milk supply. This con:
tamination is present not only in cows
milk, but in condensed milk. It is
| Just as easy to contaminate con
densed milk after the tins are opened
a5 to contaminate cows milk. To save
infant life, therefore, a perfectly pure
and uncontaminated milk supply must
be provided. Hence the necessity for
municipal milk depot for the feeding
of infants. l submit that there is suf
ficient evidence in the foregoing fig
ures to justify an experiment being
made in Glasgow. It is not intended
to interfere with the ordinary milk
| dealers. In fact, it may be possible
to make them, or some of them, the
agents Of the corporation. The system
is to supply milk, sterilized, and mixed
with water in the proper proportions
for children of varying ages, in her
metically-sealed bottles. Empty bot,
ties are exchanged for full ones. The
staff at the depot does all the bottle
washing and milk-mixing. All the
nurse has to do is to warm the milk
by immersing the bottle in hot water
In this way there is no possibility of
contamination, and the infants obtain
food suited to their delicate digestive
