Feed and Butter Fat.
Much dispute has arisen in regard to
the effect OF feed upon the per cent OF
butter fat. 1t is very easy to attribute
any variation that may happen to oc-
cur at the time of changing feed to the
feed. Records of tests show that il is
possible for a large variation to take
place without any change of feed.
Where accurate records have been kept
1t has been found that there is very lit
tie If any change in the per cent of
butter fat due to feed. A few expert
ments at other stations indicate that
feed may influence in a small degree
the per cent of fat in the milk, but this
influence is so small that 1t is hardly
worth while for the average farmer or
dairyman 10 pay any attention to it.
The test of the richness of the milk
seems TO be the individual Characters
tic of the COW, that cannot be changed
permanently by the will of man, and II
we wish to increase the per cent of fat
In the milk we must do 1t by breeding
rather than by feeding-Kansas Ex-
pertinent Station.
silage Versus Grain.
The Ohio experiment station finds II
quite evident from data of its own
tests that cows fed siage ration have
produced considerably more milk and
fat at smaller expenditure for feed,
resulting in more than double the profit
than those fed grain ration. The
question arises, however, how much
OF this Increase In production is due TO
the ration fed and how much to the
COW? 1t Is probable, says Farm SUI
perintendent c. G. Williams. that the
comparison of actual yields of milk
and butter fat is not so reliable a guide
to the utility Of the two rations as the
comparison of each COW with herself
before and after taking the ration.
Taking the average of the herds, the
cows fed the sIage ration shrank 2S4
per cent in milk and gained 1.S9 per
cent In fat, while the cows fed the
grain ration shrank OH per cent i'm

Extra Size Handicap.
1t is the general opinion that cows of

of the Legis-
1ature.

The Legislature were very wise to adj
iourn over Thanksgiving and give them
selves more time to complete their leg
islative duties. 1t will enable them to
carefully and fully consider the more
important bills that lie before them.
And we hope and believe that as they
thus carefully consider these, they will
come to wise conclusion in regard to
all of them.
This they certainly will do if they
keep constantly in mind the funda-
mental principle that all laws should be
made for the good of the great majority,
and not for a small minority of the peo-
pie. Or, as expressed in the Constitu-
ton of Vermont, "That government is
or ought to be, instituted for the COM
mon benefit, protection, and security of
the people, nation, or community, and
not for the particular emolument or adj
vantage of any single man, family, OF
set of men, who are a part only of that
community"

ThankSqivinq.

This day, which is hallowed as much
from the fact that it has come down
to us from ancestors who believed they
had much to be thankful for, as for the
really great blessings that are showered
upon us at all times, was quietly cele-
brated in most of the households in this
community yesterday.
A goodly number attended the church
services at the union meeting, while
others were at their own places of wor-
ship.
The excellent license regulations held
in check any persons who might attempt
to make the day one of unseemly dssi
patton and prevented that class, if any
there be among us, from desecrating
the day intended for one of real thanks
giving and praise to the Giver of al
Good.
