DOES IT PAY TO GRIND CoRNr

During the past nine years Profess or Henry of the Wisconsin experiment station has conducted a careful series of experiments with a view to deter mining the advantage of ground corn as fattening ration over shelled corn. Ills findings, published in a recent bull letin, seem to prove quite conclusively that the advantage in grinding seems to depend, first. almost entirely upon the prevailing price of corn at the time the feeding is done and, secondly, upon the cost of grinding. He concludes his report with q table showing the say ing from grinding the corn when 1t is worth ? cents per bushel aud at reg ular intervals up to 75 cents. He finds that when corn is worth 9 cents per bushel tie saving by grinding is 1.4 cents per buShel: at 30 cents 1t is 17 cents; Ut 35 cents, 10 cents; at 40 cents. 20 cents; at 4J cents, 2.5 cents; at 90 cents. 2S cents; at 8 cents. 3.1 cents: at 60 cents, 3.4 cents; at 65 cents. 3.7 cents; at 70 cents. 80 cents, and at 7J cents. 10 cents. The feeder must take into account the prevailing cost Of .cprn and grinding and deter miCC iC each ease whether 1t is prof itanle to so handle It.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

COUNTY AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.
 In view of the quite general demise of the old time agricultural society, a plan that is being followed in one Iowa county is worthy of mention. To be- gin with. the decadence of these soci- cites seems to be due in part to the greatly increased interest in the state fairs, which offer superior exhibits along all lines. and in part to the fact that as ordinarily conducted the county fair Is exploited primarily as a money making scheme. while benefit to be de- rived by those who attend along the line of becoming acquainted with bet ter varieties of grasses, grain and
 stock as well as improved agricultural methods is held as entirely subsidiary. The plan proposed has in view the or ganization of an agricultural society in which the farmers of the county shall be the chief stockholders and whose purpose shall be the holding of corn con- tests and general agricultural exhibits, with either of which races or other amusements may be combined. It Is a relatively small per cent of the farm CTS of any state who are able, or at least take pains. to attend the state fair; hence a county society organized along the lines suggested would seem fitted to fill very definite and useful place. Combined with the county ex- pertinent work which Is being under taken In many localities. 1t would seem to have in 1t the possibility of develop ing Into a sort of county agricultural experiment exhibit. possessing definite and practical value for the farmers of the county and forming a natural and helpful auxiliary of the state expert ment work. The fact that representa- tive farmers were stockholders would give them a personal interest In its success. lack of which has been at the bottom of the discontinuance of many of these once popular county exhibits.

When only small quantities of milk are handled, or the separator is not used, 1t is very essential to cool the milk in cold water before putting away for the cream to rise. The req son for this is that the bacteria in the milk multiply very rapidly unless the temperature of the milk is lowered quickly, and the milk Is less apt to keep sweet as long as 1t would other wise.
