to be drifting on the 2,O0O-foot level

the brilliant, progressive and extraor-

he was returning from Neuilly after
regimental dinner. may be said to
have brought about the downfall of
his dynasty and to have changed the
entire course Of the history of France

Drowned Butter.

Drowned Butter.
Wet butter. or butter saturated with
moisture, is now subject of general
discussion in all the creamery papers.
One creamery concern was found to be
soaking its butter with as much as
% per cent moisture. The United
States inspectors have frequently
found samples that contained around
Is and 20 per cent of moisture. This
agitation in favor of less moisture, and
the frequent violation of the law by
Incorporating excessive moisture are
getting some of our creamery butter
makers somewhat alarmed. 1t should
be remembered that first class butter
should contain about 10 to IA per cent
of water. and by the methods usually
adopted in the manipulation of the
cream at churning, no more than this
amount will be incorporated. In fact,
the average butter maker who has
not made a study of Incorporating
moisture, is not apt to get more water
in his butter than the law allows. The
average creamery men should remem-
Der that considerable of this hue and
cry about water in butter comes from
the eastern commission men and that
the one guilty or drowning his butter
and palming off water at IS cents per
pound is not the butter maker of Min
nesota, but the big centralized cream
cries of Kansas and Nebraska.

Dry or Wet Feed For Little Chicks.

Good poultry men differ about the
feeding of little chicks about as much
as they do about anything else per-
tanning to the business. We long since
learned that too much wet food was
not good for little chicks; neither is
too much mash" good for hens. They
are not built" for this kind of sloppy
food and if given it long enough, bowel
trouble of more or less serious ma
ture is bound to result. We are
strongly OF the opinion, however, that
a little stale bread, moistened with
good sweet milk, is about the best
thing for the first meal of little chicks,
and that we'll baked corn bread
crumbled up fine is good thing to
follow the bread and milk, with
good stiff dough of corn meal and
shorts, with little wheat, or wheat
screenings along with it once or twice
day. All this, of course, is for chicks
running out, as we have never tried
to grow them in any other way.
There has been considerable said
lately in favor of wholly dry feed for
chicks, even from the first, and ex-
cellent results are reported when dry
feed only is given. Dry feeding as
compared with sloppy mushy feeding,
is DOUBTLESS the safest, but little
milk and moisture for the very young
chicks seems to us good thing.
