DAIRY COWS IN SUMMER.
Importance of Keeping Up TheiI
Normal Flow of Milk.

A point in the summer care of the
milk cox that is of vital Importance
and which is very frequently over.
looked is that of keeping her up to her
normal flow Of milk, says Professor
Van Norman of the Indiana station in
American Agriculturist. 1t is an oft
proved fact that the COW which is al
lowed to shrink for want of sufficient
feed or protection from heat and flies
cannot be brought back to her normal
flow when these adverse conditions are
passed and good feed and favorable
conditions are again supplied. If she
is allowed to shrink four or five pounds
per day for days or weeks at a time
good feed may increase this a pound
or two, but it vii, not bring it back
to the former mark.
This fact emphasizes the Importance
Of something to supplement the scant
pasture in the summer time 1t will
pay to plant little early sweet corn,
to be followed by the regular field
corn. Often where there is plenty of
silo capacity there will be silage left
from the winter feeding. This, if left
undisturbed, will mold on the surface,
but when pasture gets short this bad
layer can be thrown off, and the silage
is ready for use. 1t is important ct
this season Of the year that at least
two inches be removed every day, as
the warm weather causes very rap
id fermentation, and sour silage is
not a desirable feed.
If it Is possible to provide dark
shed, where the COWS may go in the
middle Of the day and avoid the sun
and flies, it is a most profitable pro
vision. Most dairymen find it desir-
able to continue the grain ration
throughout the summer, reducing the
quantity when the grass Is flush and
lessening the proportion Of corn and
other heating feeds.
Most cow owners have something on
the farm which they can feed to sup
plement pasture. The important thing
is to do it, Do not allow the COWS to
shrink, as a shrinkage Of two or three
pounds day is not merely a loss for
the time being, but is very much less
throughout the remainder of the sea.

this loss. Have patch of corn where
it is the least trouble to get it to the
cows. Every one can at least do this

Feeding For Milk

Next to the corn plant and the clo-
vers, oats, either by themselves or SOW
ed with peas, either fed green, cured
as hay or allowed to ripen and thrash
ed, are valua BILE sources of cattle food.
Experiments at the Maine station show
that oats cut in the milk stage contain
a great deal more digestible protein
than at any other stage of their growth.
The bottom section of the stalks has
very little feeding value. In cutting
oats, therefore, for hay it is better to
leave a high stubble, for the loss in
CURED by leaving the coarse part Of
the stalk in the ground is more than
compensated by the improved quality
and palatability Of the remainder.
Roots and Potatoes.
Roots and potatoes are advantageous
foods for dairy cattle because they
furnish very palatable, succulent food,
which may be kept in perfect condi-
ton during the entire season. They
are particularly valuable in the Sec

Lax QUARANTINE.

The unfortunate iaxity Of procedure which
has attended the outbreak Of yellow fever In
New-Orleans within the last few days Is by
no means limited to practising physicians and
the municipal authorities. The State Board Of
Health has also exhibited a weakness that is
scarcely less than amazing. That body con-
trolls the work Of the quarantine station, which
is near the mouth Of the Mississippi, one hun
dred miles below the city. 1t Is responsible
therefore. for the permission given to a vessel
that was only three days out from an infect
ed port (BeliZel TO pass up to her wharf in
New-Orleans after a delay of only forty min
utes. 1t is not to be wondered at that public
Indignation rose to point which forced the
State Board TO order more rigid enforcement
Of It's own well known rules
DR.. Souchon who Is presumably the chief
offender. has for several years been at the head
of the Louisiana Board of Health. He is thor
oughly familiar with the modern theories Of the
means by which yellow fever Is propa gated
and Is aware to what extent the old concep-
tons of II have been modified. He also knows
how little change in the policy formerly pursued
Is now warranted These facts are made evil
dent by paper which he read three years ago
before the International Sanitary Congress in
Washington. He there recommended allowing
an incoming ship to pass on three conditions.
She should have been fumigated at the last
port at which she touched, she should be fresh
IL disinfected on arrival and at least FIVE days
should elapse between the two operations. The
vessel which was let in q few days ago may
possibly have been fumigated before she left
Belize. but there is no evidence that she was
thus treated on arrival Indeed forty minutes
would hardly permit thorough piece OF work
Finally much less than the legal period of five
days had intervened between her sailing from
the one port and her arrival at the other.
The effect of fumigatioD deserves q moments
consideration. 1t is designed to Kill off infect
ed mosquitoes which may have come on board
at place where yellow fever was prevalent
The insects once dead. there could be no dan
ger from the hull of the vessel. her fittings. the
clothing of the sailors or her cargo. Detention
is made expedient only by the fact that disin-
fectants would not act on the blood of the
passengers and crew. No symptoms could be
expected TO appear until five or six days after
disease germs had been transmitted to any Of
these persons To guard against the possibility
that such a thing had happened. one OF two
policies should be observed. Either everybody
on the vessel ought to be removed and kept un-
der observation until the period Of incubation
has passed. while the ship itself and her cargo
are freed. or else the vessel should be held at
the quarantine station until there is no longer
a chance of sickness among those whom she
carries. In the former case il would be neces-
sary to put a new crew on or else to trans
fer the freight to lighters for the rest of the
voyage. but either plan would offer a method
Of escape from the imperative rule regarding
human beings.

sition to aid In DETECTING the current of steer
age travel from Naples and Genoa to Southern
ports New-York has every reason to approve
this change of policy, which will operate to
check the growth Of the alien colonies estab-
lshed here, and TO correct the abuses of the
padrone labor system. We suffer from the con-
gestion OF immigration in our chief ports and
inland cities, while the agricultural South
stands ready TO welcome the alien laborer AMI

hold a conference in this city next December.
TO which the Governors Of all the States are to
be invited and an effort Will be made TO
thrash out the immigration question in all Its
details The record breaking food OF 1904 90

only on better machinery for Sitting out the

COMPETITION IN ARMoR PLATE.

Tests made with armor plate supplied by the
MidvaIe Steel Company this week are said to
have resulted satisfactorily. The trials have
the greater significance because the firm which
made the armor has not until recently secured
q contract The Midvale company has long been
manufacturing projectles for the government;
but when II sought the privilege of making
armor also conservative naval experts feared
that the process of hardening used by the new
conner might not equal that adopted by the old
contractors, So far as the excellence of its
product is concerned, however, there seems TO
be no longer any doubt. If the Midvale COM
pany can meet the other important requirement
about which there has been doubt-certainty in
delivering the plate on tlme-the country will
have reason for qualification.
DiSinterested citizens care little who makes
the armor plate used on American warships.
They think only Of the quality of the product
and the cost. Hitherto the relations existing
between the Bethlehem Iron Works and the
Carnegie company have been such that there
has been no genuine competition. The Navy
Department has long felt that a combination Of
interests existed which compelled it to pay more
than ii ought to for armor. If another producer
can comply with all the demands of the depart
ment rivalry should lead TO a material reduction
In the price.
