MILK AND VITALITY.

In his recent address to the Hol-
stein GRESHAM Association at Syracuse.
N. Y. President Cortelyou of the as
sociation touched upon the vitality
OF COWS and their milk. He said:
ssThe most important work OF a
public nature which, in my opinion
viii operate to advance the interest
of owners of Holstein cattle, is the
promulgation of better knowledge
among consumers Of milk, of the diet
etc value of the grade Of milk pro
duced by our cows. 1t Is a well
known fact that the offspring OF those
breeds of cattle whose milk Is rlcn
in butter fat are reared with the
greatest difficulty. Such offspring ap-
near to be deficient in vitality and
especially subject to stomach ana
bowel troubles which are fatal IN
many cases and it is now being more
generally recognized by physicians ana
consumers that milk rich in butter
fat is an improper food for young
children and is deleterious in It's Ell
fects and produces generally tine
same effects in human beings as IN
animals.
These results are now said by scien-
lists to be due to several causes ana
primarily to the excess of fat In the
milk, and in the case Of children, par
ticularly, are probably also due to the
extraordinary character OF the rat
globules, which in these small breeds
Of cattle are extraordinary large, and
entirely unlike those OF Holstein milk
which nearly corresponds with human
milk in its solid contents.
It is also becoming widely recognize
ed that the milk from the large and
vigorous races Of cattle specially Hol-
STEMS, possesses another quality,
characterized by Professor Carlyle as
vitality, and that this quality is COM
municated to the consumer, whether
man or beast Thus we have large,
strong, vigorous calves when reared
upon Holstein milk, and puny. weak
ones from those reared upon milk
rich in fat: and human beings, fed
upon milk possessing the character
1stics of Holstein milk, are likewise
healthy, strong and vigorous.
The Investigations Of the Storrs
Connecticut Agricultural Experiment
Station. as published in bulletin No.
81 wholly confirm these assertions and
/ commend this bulletin to you as
worthy Of most careful study.
Professor Carlyle was right in at
farming that "there is such a thing
as vitality in milk and that it is OF
equal II not greater Importance than
its chemical composition, especially
for the milk supply Of cities, and there
can be no question but that the vital
fly Of the animal producing it.-Indi-

HOW TO INoCULATE FOR AL
FALFA

Prof. Hopkins Of illinois, one Of
the most distinguished soil experts
of the country. advises in inoculating
for alfalfa to use at least 100 pounds
of inoculated soil to the acre. The
soil should be scattered over the field.
ne says. with some degree of uni
sformity. but it Is not like seeding
grain. and 1t Is not absolutely essen
tial that every square yard in, the field
should receive its due portion of in
fected soil Some care should be TAX
en- in spreading it over the higher
places in the field, but If places
should be missed on Stopping land or
on lower lands the bacteria will soon
be carried over them by the surface
drainage waters. Indeed. if all the
watersheds in the field-that is all
ridges and high places-are we'll IN
ocuIated the entire field will ulti-
mately become infected, the bacteria
being carried by soil washing, but
the infection is more rapid OF course,
II the infected soil is spread over
the entire field with some degree OF
uniformity when it is first applied.
\ If possible. the soil should be ap-
piled at about the time the alfalfa
seed is sowed and then narrowed in
with the seed. but it may be applied
q month or two before sowing the
alfalfa or at any time afterwards and
It Is not absolutely necessary that 1t
be narrowed in, although that is ad-
.yisable. E
II applied to a field where the al
'faifa Is already year or two old
the infected soil may be mixed with
the soil of the field by narrowing or
disking (the disks being set straight,
so as to cut OF the alfalfa
roots).
The infected soil may be applied
IN any way to get 1t over the field
las by hand Throwing it from the
wagon), with an equal gate seeder, If
the soil Is dry enough and sufficiently
well pulverized or an any other way
which may be found convenient
The results obtained during the
mast year fully confirm the results
previously reported by the Illinois
station concerning the importaEce
and value of incubation for alfalfa
The information which we now have
strongly indicates that II it is provid-
ed with the proper bacteria alfalfa can
be successfully grown on any soil
where both corn and red clover are
successfully crops.
