Keepinn Milk,

AS a result of some experiments in
keeping milk, Professor Conn, Of the
Connecticut station, publishes the fol-
lowing conclusions:
Variations in temperature have a
surprising influence upon the rate of
multiplication of bacteria. At so de-
grees these organisms may multiply
only f1ve-fold in twenty-four hours,
while at 20 degrees they may multi
ply seven hundred and fifty-fold.
Temperature has great influence
upon the keeping property of milk.
Milk kept at IS degrees cheat of the
cows body will curdle in eighteen
hours, while the same milk kept at 20
degrees will not curdle for forty-eight
hours, and if kept at so degrees, the
temperature of an ice chest. may
sometimes keep without curdling for
two weeks or more.
So far as the keeping property of
milk is concerned, the matter of tenn
perature is of more significance than
the original contamination of the milk
with bacteria.
Milk preserved at so degrees or
lower will keep sweet for long time,
but it becomes filled with bacteria of
a more unwholesome type than those
that grow at higher temperatures. Old
milk is not fit for market, even though
it be perfectly sweet.

WHY WE HAVE oNE-slDED MEN.
All Faculties Not Sufficiently Exer-
cised Is One Reason,

Faculties must be exercised or they
will not grow. Nature is too good an
economist to allow us to keep any
faculty or function which we do not
employ. We can have just what we
use, and that will constantly increase;
everything else will be gradually
taken away from u.s. Man becomes
strong and powerful and broad just
in proportion to the extent and health
fulness of the activity of his faculties;
and it must not be one-sided, not an
exercise Of one or two faculties, or one
set of faculties, Or the man will topple
over. Balance in life comes from the
healthful exercise Of all the faculties.
One reason why we have SO many one
sided men in this country is because
they pursue one idea, exercise one side
OF their nature, and, of course, they
cannot retain their balance. This is
one of the curses of specialties. They
are good thing fo- the race, but
death to the individual who pursues
his specially at the expense of the de-
velOpment of the all-around man.-O.

Preparing for the Calf.

10 get best results in rearing calves
attention must be given to the moth
ers OF the calves previous to birth.
A good dairyman will supply his COWS
with wholesome and nutritious feeds
in abundance. This is necessary for
best results at the pail as we'll as for
the best development of the calf.
Highest yields of milk and butter fat
and the best calves are usually OBJ
tanned from COWS that go dry six to
eight weeks before calving. If it is
impossible to dry the COW without in
juring the udder, continuous milking
should be practiced, says Prof.
D. H. Otis. A dry cow on
good pasture with plenty of shade and
water will need very little attention,
except to see that she is not annoyed
or injured by other cattle. Sometimes
heavy mixers on luxuriant pastures
will be stimulated to produce too
much milk prior to calving, in which
case the supply of feed should be re-
duced. On dry feed the cows should
be kept in good condition, though not
too fat. When alfalfa or clover hay
is available, little or no grain is neces-
sary. Ensilage and roots are espec-
cially desirable for the COWS at this
time. When grain is used a mixture
of two-thirds bran and one-third oil
meal is excellent. Soy beans make
a good substitute for oil meal The
object is to keep the bowels loose.
All these points have an important
bearing on the health of the COW and
consequently on the condition and
health of the calf, before and after
birth. If the COW is sick when the
calf is born the milk is liable to be
seriously.

Height of Wheel and Draft of Wagon.
This is a subject regarding which
there is considerable difference Of
opinion, says bulletin of the U. s.
Department of Agriculture. The Mis-
souri, Station has put the matter to
practical test in a series of trials
made on macadam, gravel, and dirt
roads in all conditions, and on mead
ows, pastures, cultivated fields, stub
BILE land, etc. With a net load of 1000
pounds in all cases, three sets of
wheels were tested, as follows:
"Standard-front wheels, Al inches;
rear wheels, SIS inches. Medium-front
wheels, SO inches; rear wheels, 40
inches. Low-front wheels, "a inches;
rear wheels, % inches" The results
obtained and conclusions reached
were, in brief, as follows:
For the same load, wagons with
wheels Of standard height drew light
er than those with lower wheels. The
difference in favor of the standard
wheels was greater on road surfaces
in bad condition than on good road
surfaces. Low wheels cut deeper ruts
than those of standard height. The
vibration of the tongue is greater in
wagons with low wheels. For most
purposes wagons with low wheels are
more convenient than those Of stand
ard height. Wagons with broad tires
and wheels of standard height are
cumbersome and require much room
in turning. Diminishing the height of
wheel to from 30 to SO inches in front
and 40 to A inches in the rear did
not increase the draft in as great pro-
portion as it increased the conven-
fence of loading and unloading the or
binary farm freight. Diminishing the
height of wheels below 80 inches front
and 40 inches rear increased the draft
in greater proportion than it gained in
convenience. On good roads, increas-
ing the length of rear axle, so that
the front and rear wheels will run In
different tracks to avoid cutting ruts,
did not increase the draft. On sod,
cultivated ground, and bad roads
wagons with the rear axle longer than
the front one drew heavier than one
having both axles of the same length.
Wagons with the rear axle longer than

RAISING the Pics,

Damp bedding is bad for pigs. It
should be dry and made from we'll
cured straw or hay. The little pigs
should have lots of sunshine if they
are to be expected to grow well and be
healthy. It requires some planning to
construct light brood house for a
dozen or more sows, especially if they
are to farrow in winter, but it must
be done if we are to have success in
raising the pigs. Sunshine may be
regarded as one Of the essentials. A
cold draft on pigs is very destructive
and is one Of the great causes Of NOR
tally among winter pigs. In the win
ter exercise must be given. One man
says he does this By turning out the
brood SOW and chasing the little pigs
about in the pen.

Care Of Cows Everywhere.

Care Of Cows Everywhere.
IN the housing and general care of
dairy COWS no foreign country shows,
as a rule, in general practice, any
methods or conditions better than
those of America, writes Henry E. AL
word in the Year Book of the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The average
conditions everywhere are bad enough,
with opportunities for very great i'm
provement; but such improvement is
being made as rapidly in this country
as anywhere. Nowhere else is there
a better appreciation of the import
ance and economy of abundant room,
light, air, dryness, comfort, and clean
hness for cows. One hears much of
the close relations between the dairy
COWS and the families of their owners
in Holland and Switzerland, connect
ing apartments, under the same roof,
etc.; but the stables which are seen
In summer, converted into conserva-
tories and rooms for weaving and
cheese curing are the exceptional and
show places. Even the best of these,
Wnen visited In m1dw1nter, with the
cattle in place, are often found dark,
close, ill-ventilated, crowded, and un-
sanitary in many respects, although
frequently kept clean. The construc-
ton Of COW stables generally in the
dairy regions of tt. Old World is of

gard to light and ventilation, conven-
ience Of arrangement or ease in clean.
ing. The labor necessary to keep
them in decent condition would be re-
garded as impossible in this country.
The cow houses of Denmark average
the best Of all in Europe, but they are
no better in any respect than the av-
erage Of those in the distinctively
dairy districts Of this country, and
there is here far more regard for econ
omy Of labor in management.

Application of Fertilizers.

The question as to how fertilizers
should be applied is somewhat diff
cult to answer because it depends on
a number of conditions, especially the
kind of fertilizer and the amount to be
used. Phosphoric acid and potash,
even in water soluble forms, do not
leach out of the soil to any apprecia-
BILE extent. On the contrary, they do
not distribute themselves we'll enough,
and therefore should be applied to
some depth. Nitrogen, On the other
hand, finally teaches out of the soil un-
less taken up by the roots Of plants.
In some materials, however, it is
much less readily soluble than in
others. Tankage, for example, should
be applied deep, and it is well to mix
cotton-seed meal and blood with the
soil; but nitrate of soda and ammo
mum sulphate should nearly always
be applied as surface dressings. Only
one application is advised for ammo
mum sulphate, but when large guam
titles, over 200 pounds to the acre, of
nitrate are to be used, two applica-
tons of 100 pounds each are often
made to advantage, one when the
plants are first coming up and the
other two or three weeks later. Pot
ash salts when used in quantity, 400
pounds or more to the acre, are well
applied in the fall, so that the winter,
rains may take out the chlorine, which
when combined with either lime or
magnesia acts in a detrimental man
ner to plant growth. Lime Is also well
applied in the fall. Acid phosphate
when used as a top dressing may be
applied either in the fall or in the
early spring. When small amount
of fertilizer is to be used 1t is best
applied as the seed is sown or as the
plants are set out, in the row or in the
hill or, when practicable, drilled with
crops which are drilled. As a general
rule only heavy application of COM
plete fertilizer, say 1000 pounds or
more to the acre. is recommended to
be applied broadcast and worked into
the soil for crops which are planted
in rows.-BuIletiD Of Tennessee Sta
ton.

The oldest literature of the world
contains frequent illusions to the bee
and it's honey. The Hindu, Egyptian,
Hebrew, Grecian and Roman writer's
refer much to what the Latin poet
Horace calls the golden treasures OF
the bee" Back in old Grecian days,
Plato wanted a law "to run as follows"
about poisoning: "He who employs
poison to do any injury, not fatal, to
a man himself, or to his servants, or
any injury, whether fatal or not, to
his cattle or his bees" should be pun
ished by death or as the court might
determine. Six hundred years B. G. it
was one of the laws of Scion,
Greece's lawgiver, that "if any one
should raise stocks of bees, he was
to place them three hundred feet from
those already raised by another"
Strangely enough our American In
dams did not have these busy workers
to provide for them. The hive bee
was brought to America during the
seventeenth century, it is supposed.
Swarms escaped continually, Of course,
and Thomas Jefferson noted that "the
bees have generally extended them
selves into the country a little in ad-
vance of the white settlers. The In
dams therefore called them the white
mans fly"
Washington Irving says: "The In.
dams consider them the harbinger Of
the white man, as the buffalo is of the
red man, and say that in proportion as
the bee advances the Indians and the
buffalo retire."
Last December 1 met Mr.. W. F.
Marks, of Clifton Springs, N. Y, who
is president of the New York Associa.
ton of Beekeepers' Societies. Mr..
Marks, like most successful keekeep-
ers, is an enthusiastic friend of his
tiny workers. He calls attention to
the fact that the bee thrives in every
state of our Union, and the total num-
Der of colonies is near three-quarters
of million. The last census places
the number of colonies in New York
at 22,738. The association has secured
legislation for the protection of bees,
and of honey on the market. When
one per cent of any adulterant has
been used with honey, the product can
not be sold on the market under the
name of honey"
BY the way, we often hear the asser-
ton that a counterfeit comb honey
can be manufactured. The falsity Of
the statement is evidenced by the
standing reward of $1,000 offered by
the National Beekeepers' Association
for a pound of such honey. 1t is one
Of the idle stories that should die,
there not being Single instance of a
claim for the reward.
Extracted honey is sold largely to
manufacturers Of cakes, and it's price
is affected by the trust that controls
the manufacture of the cakes.
Mr.. Marks reminds us that the
honey bee is the only insect of value
whose product is finished. 1t fur
nished the only sugar in very early
times. Its product to-day is not ex-
celled in delicacy by any manufac-
tured sweet. 1t is a friend of the hui
man race, and needs our protection.
The industry grows in Importance, and
public-spirited men like Mr.. Marks
are doing public service in watching
over its interests.-Alva Agee in Ma
tiOnal Stockman and Farmer.
