Butter Marketing Project That Failed.

Not long ago the butter merchants
OF San Francisco realized the fact
That their supply of butter was so
great that if something was not done
at once the price of all their butter
would be forced down to a point too
low to permit of a reasonable rroft.
1t was therefore agreed that each
house should contribute part of their
butter to make up several cars to be
sent to points farther east where
prices were just enough higher to en-.
able them to get rid of the surplus.
All went well till the time came for
putting the butter into the cars. Then
some of the firms on one pretext or
another held back all of the butter
that had been promised for the cars.
Each n had reasoned that if the
surplus butter was pushed off the
market his own butter would all sell
at a good price. Thus each man be-.
gan to try to get ahead of all the
others by letting them make the sac.
riices and by lying low himself TO
reap the benefit. Unfortunately, so
many tried to work this scheme that
the project itself failed, only one car
instead of several being sem out. The
dealers now have a very unkindlv
feeling toward the men that promised
butter but held it back.

Soft DIS.

Soft feed is a bone of contention be-
tween the raisers of poultry. Some of
the poultry journals take the position
that a soft feed is always harmful,
while others are just as sure that it
is a good thing if fed once a day and
no oftener. The belief of the writer
Is that the soft feed is a very great
help to fowls that would otherwise
have whole grain all the time, while
1t is less necessary to those birds
thai have green stuff, with chopped
roots and large quantities of table
scraps in winter.
The object of the soft feed is to
lessen the tax on the digestive organs,
where the birds would otherwise have
to digest whole grain. In a state of
nature birds do not have to fill Vi on
grain entirely. The birds cf the air
do indeed eat a great deal of such
grain as rice, but they are using their
wings SO much that the expenditure of
muscle force is great, which is not
the case with u domestic fowls.
Where soft feeds are fed it is better
not to use one kind of feed all the
time, but vary the ration, giving in
turn such feeds as pea meal, oat meal,
chopped feed, middlings and bran.

Discussions in Convention.


Officers of our state dairy associa-
tons may profit by an action of the
American Warehousemen's Associa.
tlon at their convention in Washing
ton last week. 1t was there decided
that hereafter all such portions of
committee reports as invite discus
sion by the members at the annual
convention shall be printed and dis
trlDuted to the members before the
meeting.
IN the conventions of associations
formed to forward the mutual inter
ests OF the membership by improving
Methods OF business, devising and
urging legislation, etc, a full discus.
sion by the assembled members is, If
properly conducted, the most potent
force. This is generally recognized
ana yet in a great majority of cases
the time OF the sessions is so largely
taken up by the reading of addresses
upon various subjects that the discus
sions are cut short and very often
nave to be left out altogether.
AT the meetings of dairy associa-
IONS and butter and cheesemakers' as
soclatlons there are usually a number
OF papers prepared upon subjects des-
lSnated by the officers the reading of
which takes much time. If these could
De forwarded to the secretary in adj
vance they might be printed and dis.
to the members before the
meeting with very little additional eX.
pense to associations which print their
reports in full because the type forms
could be kept standing for use in the
full report. The advantages would be
three fold: First, the members would
De much better prepared to discuss
the subjects brought up if they had
time to consider them before the
h!eetlng; second, the time Of the cen
Vention could be more largely devoted
TO the discussion; and third, the full
report OF the proceedings could be pub
llshed much more promptly after the
convention had closed.
We commend this plan to the con-
sideration of all such associations as
would be benefited by its adoption

Dairyine in Michiaan.

Michigan is not considered a dairy
state, and yet, according to a recent
census, there arc in that state 14116
farms deriving their chief income
from dairy products. On these dairy
farms there are 74,043 COWS, which
makes an average of a little over
five COWS to a farm. The number of
cows in the state used for the pro.
duction of milk principally is over
$4,000, according to the census of
1900. About G0,000,0 900 pounds of farm
butter are made yearly, and this has
a value of SO, 900, 900. In addition
over 100000 pounds of butter are
made in the creameries, and the value
OF this swells the aggregate value of
the butter made to over $14,O 600, 900.
This is a good showing when it is
considered hat in the enumeration of
the COWS must be a very large num-
Der that produce little or nothing.
How much greater would be the pro.
duction if every poor COW were re.
placed with a good COW!

Health of the Fowls.

The first thing to look out for in the
care of poultry is the health of the
birds, whether they are kept at home
or are sent away to shows. Health is
the first requisite of successful poul-
try culture. Those that fail to make
profits out of their birds generally
are those that are unable to keep them
healthy.
The lealth of the fowls cannot be
kept up by feeding cayenne pepper
and other like things. Many do this
In lieu of good care and good feed.
cayenne pepper is a cure-all in the
minds OF some people we know, but
IN reality it is of little value except to
stimulate the digestive organs of a
sick bird. Healthy birds do not need
a stimulant more than a human being
needs a stimulant.
Absolute cleanliness is the first
requisite for health and next ccmes
freedom from lice and mites. The
health Of the fowls should be further
protected by not introducing into the
fock birds that are not known to be
absolutely healthy. 1t would be well
Tor every poultry raiser to have a
building separate from others in which
TO keep for some weeks new birds pur-
chased.

Boil the Strainers.

On q great many farms cloth strain.
ers are used. Those that have been
in the habit of using such strainers
VIII be able to remember the history
or some of them. That history is that
the strainer is used and washed out
Just as the dishrag is used and washed
out, in water not much over 1O0 de.
gfees in temperature, which tempera.
ture is comfortable for the hands. The
hands cannot bear q temperature
much above 115 degrees. Such low
temperatures will not destroy the
germs of Tactic acid ferments.
The inevitable result is that thou.
sands OF these invisible ferment germs
remain alive in the cloth. When the
next milking around the same
cloths are used. They look clean and
are clean so far as dirt is concerned,
Tor Tactic acid ferments are not dirt.
But they are a starter for the new lot
or milk, and in many cases account
1or the milk souring in twelve hours
or sue a matter.
Where milk is to he kept for TWEEN
ty-1our or more hours care must be
taken to keep out of 1t all ferment
germs that might act as starters. In
the case of the strainer this can be
easily done; for it is not a difficult
matter to boil it. This can be done by
putting it in a dish of hot water and
setting it on the back of the stove
when there is a good fire. The only
trouble is to form the habit of doing
this.
1t really makes little difference
whether the strainer is of wire or
cioth SO far as killing all the ferments
is concerned. Some of them will re-
main even in the wire strainer If great
care is not used in its cleaning. The
surest way is to ven boil the wire
strainer.

Eggs for the Toilet.

Circassian women, noted for their
beautiful compilations, apply to their
faces a half hour before their daily
bath a thorough coating of white of
egg. When this has completely dried
they wash it off with tepid water and
then battle as usual in soap and wa
ter. The egg penetrates the pores of
the skin and takes up impurities,
which are carried away when it is
washed off, leaving the skin clean and
smooth. Eggs also make the best
kind of a shampoo and hair food.
Rub well into the scalp, the more thor
ough the massage the better, and
rinse thoroughly in several waters or
the hair will be sticky.

Registered for Performance.

In the Island OF Jersey a COW is not
registered because her parents were
registered, but because of her own
performance at the pail. A COW must
reach a certain standard before she
becomes eligible. This is a very good
practice to follow inside a breed, II
could not be safely followed outside
of a breed, as it would necessarily set
aside the principle Of prepotency as It
is represented in the established
breeds. Registering for performance
is a very effective method of squirting
on the improving of any breed. TIE
line breeding merely gives us more
COWS of he same breed, but does not
improve the breed except to fix its
qualities. By registering for perform.
ance we place a value on increased
performs-

Points Of the Drafe Horse.

Prof. Geo. M. Roinmel, of the Unit.
ed States Department Of Agriculture,
relative to the required qualities Of
the marketable draft horse, says:
Size and Weight.-The weight that
VIII characterize a horse as a drafter
Will be that above which he can not
work at a trot without waste of effort
and horsefiesh and below which he
can work more economically by haul
ing smaller loads at increased speed.
This weight is pretty generally con
ceded to be 900 pounds I'm fair flesh.
The height of a drafter will vary from
1913 hands for the smaller sorts to
liz hands for horses of great weights.
The importance of weight in a draft
er must not be overlooked. His pur-
pose is solely that of heavy work,
pulling great loads at the walk, and
TO fulhl this requirement most per.
1ectly the first essential is weight,
with, OF course, proportional size.
Without weight the immense loads
mat are to be hauled over our city
streets could not be moved. and care.
iul observation of the average prices
has shown that, other things being
equal, draft horsefesh is worth about
SZ5 for every additional hundred
pounds 1t can show over 1000 pounds.
1t is also essential that as much as
possible of this weight he bone and
muscle. Though many buyers un-
questionably demand fat, and the truth
is hat a horse cannot sell for a cred.
liable price unless fat, the effective
value of a horse as "a worker should
not be lost sight of.
Conformation - His conformation
should enable the animal to make his
weight as effective as possible, and.
at the same time, assure q reasonably
long period of usefulness. For this
purpose he must have a rather short,
heavy neck and a shoulder sloping
enough to take the collar well. but
not so straight as to cause a post
leg and bring about premature IN.
soundness. The back should be short,
well muscled and strongly coupled to
the hind quarters, which should be
nicely rounded, smooth and plentifully
supplied with muscle. Particular at
~"s'Oh ohouiu &c paul " the HOrk.
The legs must be moderately short
and have a supply of bone sufficient to
support the weight and work of the
animal, and, of course, must be sound.
A short leg, with low-set knees and
hooks, is n that will stand wear and
tear and usually goes with a strong.
closely coupled body. Head and neck
should be proportionate to the size
of the horse. The whole appearance
should be massive.
Action.-The action of the drafter
is confined almost exclusively to the
walk. For this reason the walk is of
vital Importance. Rapidly of step
and length OF stride enable him to
cover considerable ground in the least
possible time. Straightness, smooth.
ness, regularity, and lack of friction
enable him to do this with the least
possible wear and injury to himself.
The trot should possess all the merits
of the walk.

Swiss Cheesemakina.

Professor F.. b, Mumford, of the Uni.
versity Of Missouri, has recently Wis.
tied Switzerland and there inspected
a good many of the factories in which
cheese is made. He says it is a mis-.
take to suppose that all Swiss cheese
is good. Even the Emmenthaler varies
in quality, though as a general thing
it is good. 1t is more uniform in
quality than would be supposed to
be possible, when it is considered that
it is made, not in II large factory.
in Il place, but in numerous fac.
tories in different places.

Vicious Hogs.

The vicious hog is fit only to be
made into pork and should not be
retained as a breeder. The keepers of
hogs have to go among them, fire.
quently, and n that will attack a
human being should not be tolerated
on The farm. The hog generations are
so short that 1t is comparatively easy
to breed out a vicious disposition.
