1anannr.I lsn Of Water.

The Japanese themselves attribute
their high average of physical
strength to a plan and frugal diet and
the system OF gymnastics called jiu-
jitsu. which includes knowledge or
anatomy and of the external and In
ternal uses of water. Although dur
ing the period of their ascendency the
Samurai kept the secret that their
great physical superiority was due in
a great measure 10 the internal and
external use of water, the belief that
il used literally and intelligently
water is an infallible weapon against
disease is now generally held. By
those who go in for jiu-jitsu an aver
age of one gallon day is drunk. IL
is noteworthy that rheumatism is al.
most unknown in Japan; it is proba-
BILE that the absence of meat from
the diet, combined with the use OF
plenty of water, accounts for this i'm
munity.

Quality of Butter.

Quality and uniformity are the two
main factors to be considered by the
buttermakers at present and for each
step he is taking these two factors
should be kept in view and be the
main centers for all his labors, says
M. Mortensen. Some think that in
order that such butter may be pro-
duced it is necessary that the butter
be made in smaller creameries where
all of the territory is within easy
reach of the factory. Others claim
that the central plants have advan-
tages over the smaller ones in manu-
featuring butter of that quality, while
still others claim that this IS easily
done in a whole milk plant, but not
in creamery run on the hand sepa-
rator plan. These various ideas are
not really true. We are able to make
a high grade of butter under any of
these systems providing the proper
methods are adopted Some of the
main factors to be considered in this
connection are, the condition of raw
material, pasteurization and the use
of commercial starters.

Food and Size Of Cows.

Good and persistent milking pro.
duces mixers and the development
of milking qualities, whereas on the
contrary if irregularity and neglect is
practlced the talents which would de-
velop with use will naturally disap-
pear, even what there is. 1t is q
great mistake to suppose that dairy
cows all belong to one breed, says
Robt. Pethbridge. They vary from the
Small Kerry of Ireland, the fine Jer-
tey and Guernsey of the Channel Is
lands, the hardy Ayrshire of Scotland
the dual-purpose Shorthorn and De-
Won OF the west of England, to the
Ped Polled Norfolk of the east of
England and others, all of which with
selection and development produce
magnificent dairy COWS. 1t is the
character of the food more than any
thing else that determines the size.
AS we know, in those districts which
grasses you will not find large COWS,
and in those districts which do pro-
luce the necessary constituents for
growth and milk producing, in few
,,ears O small bred animal will be.
tOme The parent of a large type, and
with continuous milking will furnish
many good mixers. Select and test
your COWS and use a bull from a fam
lily which has milk record, and re.
member that your bull is half your
herd.

The "Most Lowdown Newspaper"

The most low down newspaper on
earth" is the Submarine, published in
the Colarod desert. In order to hold
its record for low-downness, owing to
the establishment of rival, the Sub
marine recently had to move, which
change was announced in the follow
ing manner by the editor:
I'VE have dropped from twenty-five
feet below sea level to seventy-six
feet below sea legl. We hit Coachella
with a dull yet rancuous thud. The
low, rumbling noise you heard last
Tuesday was caused by our printing
Office taking drop. 1t may be truly
said that the Submarine is the lowest
down, or the lowdownest, or the most
low down newspaper on earth AS
nearly as we can compute, Hades is
about 212 feet just below our new
office"

Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture

Feeding Grain to Cows on Pasture.
1t will pay to feed some grain to the
COWS on pasture unless conditions are
exceptional. The amount fed in the
winter should be cut in half in the
summer, except in the dryest months,
when the grain ration may be TEN
porarily increased. Some of the best
dairymen in the country are doing
this, though they are not getting their
money back for it in the summer time.
But their COWS go into winter with
more vigor and are healthier as a rule
for the good summer treatment they
have received. 1t is simply one way
of investing money for the future. Its
results are not seen so much in the
milk pail as experienced in various
ways in the thrift of the calf that is
Born later and in the ability of the
mother to make the most OF the food
that is given her in the winter.

Soft Corn as Feed.

The soft corn problem is serious
one. In many sections of our state
during the past two years there were
large areas on which the corn was
worthless from a market standpoint
1t must either be fed to live stock or
allowed to rot in the field. To the
man who had plenty of stock the
commercial value of this product was
not a serious question. He could
solve the same by feeding it to his
animals. We have a large number
OF farmers, however, who belong to
the class called grain growers. Thus,
they had to either sell this soft corn
for feeding purposes, or else allow it
to rot in the fields. To them the
commercial value of this product was
an important question. 1t was also
an important question to the cattle
feeders who had to purchase soft
corn for feeding purposes. We re-
ceived a great many requests from
parties belonging to both classes ask
ing for information concerning the
feeding value of this soft corn.
We therefore conducted some ex-
periments with the hope of giving
them some aid. 1t is very likely that
in the future, we will conduct some
further experiments with the hope of
finding some feed stuffs which per-
haps can be fed to advantage with
soft corn for fattening cattle. Many
attributed the large losses which re-
suited in many sections of the country
last year from the cattle feeding bust
ness to the fact that the corn was
of poor quality. Perhaps some OF
these losses might be attributed to
this cause. In the majority of cases
however, | think the trouble was due
to the fact that feeding cattle in the
fall of 1902 were unusually high in
price, and the finished cattle in the
spring Of 1903 were rather low in
price. In too many instances cattle
which were bought for five cents pei
pound as feeders had to be sold fol
less when sent to the market as fin
ished animals.

Boracie Acid in Butter.

The Australians never seem to get
done considering milk and butter pre-
servatives in some form or other. On
account Of having to send some of
their products thousands of miles to
market, they are perhaps more preju-
diced in favor Of preservatives than
are the people in this country where
the markets are nearer the places OF
production. At Sydney a parliament.
airy committee has been investigating
the use of boracic acid in butter, and,
in report expresses the belief that
% grains Of boracic acid per pound of
butter will do no harm. 1t is to be
inferred that above the % grains
harm will result. Whether this be a
point of danger or not we do not
know, but the principal thing is that
there Is a danger point. The man
that buys butter doctored with boracic
acid has no means of telling whether
there be 25 or more grains of the pre-.
servative in it. There Is likely to be
more rather than less, as there is al
ways a tendency to overdo matter
of that kind. 1t must be remembered
that scientists are not the ones that
add the preservatives, but usually ig.
norant people that know very little
about such matters. What makes the
matter worse is that the men that use
preservatives are generally of the
opinion that they are harmless and
are hence ready to use all they can
afford to.

The Sheet Anchor.

Live stock has been described as
the sheet anchor" of our agricul
tural prosperity. 1t is certain thai
the nations that have become rich
agriculturally have been those that
have had a large amount of live stock.
One reason for this is that substance
of food value can be carried over in
the animal from year to year, while
in the vegetable form it quickly dis.
appears. Also the farm animals take
the rough substances, such as the
grasses, and change them into feed
and force. The COW, the sheep and
the pig change them into meat prod
uct that goes to feed the world. The
horse changes these grasses into
force that does the work of the world
or a large part of it. How much
would grass be worth to man with.
out farm animals to utilize it? We
say that grass is one of our great
national riches, but animals alone
make the riches available. On our
western plains the buffalo grass has
been growing for generations and
and flocks Of sheep have been chang
ing that buffalo grass into meat, part
of which has gone to feed our own
people and part of which has gone
across the ocean, starting hither-
ward a stream of gold that has
made the United States one OF the
richest nations in the world.
No farmer can afford to pass the
matter of stock raising by without
proper consideration, though not every
farmer can profitably engage in it. 1t
is safe to say that hundreds of thou
sands of our farms are carrying too
little stock for the greatest profit.
Especially is this true in the south
where farmers have been very slow
to appreciate the very great utility
of stock on the farm.

Good FEED for Dairy Cows.

brewers grains and silage are all
more or less fermented when they
come 10 the COW, but they are good
feeds for all that. Sauerkraut is a
partly fermented food, but it is served
on all our tables, and no one finds
fault with 1t because of its partial fe,
meniat!on.
