Mondays game-U. and 1. Fraternity
Shamrocks, at 5th and L northwest.
The Peck Chapel basket ball team sprung
a surprise last evening when they walloped
the U. and 1. Fraternity team, at Peck
Chapel, s to 3.
The game was one Of the most exciting
and fiercely fought contests played in anna
teur circles this season.
At the end of the first half the score
was to 2 in favor of Peck. With the clang
of the gong to start play in the second
half both teams exerted themselves to the
utmost. Peck, thanks to the good work Of
Goucher, was never headed. and landed in
the won column with safe margin. The
work of FURNACE and Miles for the losing
team was noteworthy. Lineup and sum

Sheep Notes.

For good mutton, the ewes
anu lambs need grain food.
Cleanliness is as necessary to
the sheep as food and shelter.
The market value should de-
termine the best time 10 market
sheep.
Without exercise, sheep are
liable to become cOnstipated and
fevoiish and fall oft in appetite.
Beyond the first ewes a mar
ked deterioration Of the fleece is
the result If the crossing is con-
tinued
Sheep will suffer for a long
time from exposure to n single
severe rain.
Sheep kept only for scaven
gers are not the sort which
prove themselves of value.
Sheep poorly fed during the
winter will have weak spots in
their wool in the spring.
Supply plenty of bedding as
he sheep foul their quarters
quickly when confined.
The health and thrift Of the
flock can be much better main
tanned by keeping in small num-
bers.
Almost without exception
sheep that are properly fitted
for market meet with a ready
sale.
Sheep appreciate and will pay
for good feeding as we'll as any
other animals.
Give the sheep plenty of dry
clean bedding so that the wool
will not become foul.
A sheep can hardly be healthy
that is always carrying a dirty
fleece around.
If in the sheep business for
mutton, select the herds which
grow rapidly and mature e4rly.
In growing sheep both for
wool and mutton be careful not
to Gull out the good muttons too
closely for the butcher.
In a majority of cases, the
very sheep that produces the
best carcass of mutton will also
produce the best fleece of wool.
Usually sheep wintered on
straw will produce a pretty poor
fleece. 1t may be fed we'll up in
flesh afterwards, but the fleece
will show the effect.

Hog Notes.

feed all IOoQ sweet.
Avoid low, damp places for
the feed lots.
Sour food is not good for
young pigs at any time.
Milk of any kind is better for
the pigs slop than water.
There is no reason why the
boar should be thin to breed we'll.
One disadvantage with large
hogs is that they are slow to ma
ture.
A good rule is to start the hog
on milk, grow 1t on grass, and fin
ish with grain.
Brood sows need exercise.
hence pasture is better than a
pen tor them.
The profitable porker never
ees two winters nor two sum-
mers.
While, usually the early pigs
are the most profitable, they re
quire warm quarters.
The greater the number of
pigs in a litter, the more food the
SOW requires.
Wheat bran fed to the sows
aids materially in securing a
good development Of bone and
muscle in the pigs.
A pig should make a pound Of
growth every day of its life.
If it does this, il can be market
ed when six month old.
Generally, it is best to mate u
young boar that is being used for
service the first time with old
malured sows or at least with
those that have had one litter OF
pigs
If you have a pure bred boar,
the quality OF the common sows
upon which he IS crossed will do
much towards giving quality to
The offspring
In nearly all cases it is better
to feed growing pigs with mix
turo OF ground oats and wheat
midiling at least until they are
ready to fatten when plenty of
corn may be given in addition. -

Dairy Wisdom In Brief

In Kansas a progressive dairyman
tested his herd of sixteen cows. He
found eight were making good profits
and the other eight were eating them
up.
The best way to improve the test is
TO better the cow
Every hefer raised from an unproft-
able COW will make one more unproft
able COW.
The dual purpose COW may do for the
average farmer, but the dairy farmer
wants a profitable cow
Shivering on the warm side of a
straw pile and suffocating in a dark,
poorly ventilated stable are two ex-
tremes. Avoid both this winter.-Kim-
balls Dairy Farmer.
Teach the children TO be careful to
close the doors and gates, says the
Farm Journal. A prize helfer calf was
lost by the barn door being left open
and the calf gaining access to the chop
ped grain, the fact not being known
until too late to attempt saving It,
Calves grow into money about as
fast as any kind OF stock. You have
got to keep them moving. though
When a calf stops growing. 1t is pretty
apt to go back first thing you know
Backward things are what swamp the
: best of us.
The quarters for the cows should be
put in order, so that when the frosty
nights and cold rains come the herd
may have proper shelter. Cows are
more sensitive and susceptible to cold
than most other animals on account
Of the double drain upon them. Be
wise and do not lay the foundation for
disease and loss by needless exposure
Any loss In this way In the fall Of the
year puts the animals In so much
worse condition for wintering The loss
Is not. only immediate. but Is felt all
through the winter and causes an ex-
ira outlay TO restore them to a profita-
BILE condition.

Best stock Is Cheapest.

All favor the practice Of economy; ii
Is part of the business Of life. True
economy comes in practice here. Sup
pose two cows are in the market, cost
ing $50 and $50 respectively, and the
question is. which to buy. we should
consider what each COW will do. If
the twenty dollar COW makes $50
worth of butter and the fifty dollar
COW makes $40 in a given time, why
isn't the latter by far the more eco
nomical? The cheap COW will consume
as much as the higher priced In
Maine the farmers are losing more in
this matter than elsewhere The quail
ity of a farm animal determines in
measure the, profit of the farm. 1t is
not necessary to breed pure thorough
bred animals. but those which will
yield their product at profit. Anoth-
er point: Is 1t economy to use a cheap
bred or scrub sire or the pure bred for
double the cost? | think the latter
cheaper In the end. Our stock inter
ests grow poorer every year. | can
see a decrease In the quality and value
OF our farm animals. When stock is
high buyers take the best TO send to
Brighton, and we do business with the
rest. We must retrograde, for 1t Is
impossible TO advance in quality under
such conditions. George Plummer.

When cows are to be stabbed contin-
uously through the year without any
yard privileges whatever. we ncllue TO
the opinion that there should be neither
stalls nor ties OF any kind. except few
stanchlons or stalls in separate com.
partment, where few OF the cows can
be admitted at time and kept In
place during milking and while eating
their grain. says Hoard's Dairyman.
For the balance Of the time provide a
comparatively roomy pen. to be occu-
pied in common by the entire herd.
with racks for hay and other coarse
fodder through the center. around the
sides. This necessitates the dehorning
of all the animals, but furnishes a
measure of freedom and exercise not
Obtainable In any form of stall or tie.
We reproduce In this connection a
floor plan for such an arrangement
adapted from circular No %. dairy di-
vision OF the Illinois Agricultural col
lege and copy from that circular as
follows:
A space In the barn 80 by 30 feet is
devoted TO the cows. A manger run
ming lengthwlse extends to within eight
feet of the wall at each end. These
spaces between the manger and the
wall are closed by gates AT milking
time all of the cows are driven TO the
Side of the manger where the figures
showing dimensions are placed which
contains IA watering tank, not shown in
the cut. and the gates are closed. The
door Of the milking room. sixteen feet
In width is then opened. and the boss
cows are always ready to enter. Near
the end of this room are three stalls, in
which the milking is done, and it is
surprising TO note how quickly each

1t is true that very large per cent
Of our dairy cows are absolutely un-
productive, never paying their own ex-
pense. Is il not far better to keep fif-
teen cows all of which are liberal pro
ducers than TO add TO this number

porting? The second fifteen are kept

can tell exactly how much milk and

she has made. From this amount the

Quoted and the remainder credited to
her account as profit for the month";

After carefully taking care of the
milk and using every precaution to
make a nice quality Of butter, don't
spoil it with too much or too little salt.
The quantity of salt used must depend
on the dryness of the butter at the time
of sailing and the tastes of the con-
sumers. If the butter has not been
thoroughly drained some Of the salt
will be carried off in working the
butter. About three-fourths Of an
ounce OF salt to pound of butter Is a
good average when the butter Is in
good condition before adding the salt.

STAeLlNo DAIRY COWS.
Some Advantages OF the Covered
Yard system.

Some Advantages Of the Covered
Yard system.
A new scheme for stabling dairy
COWS has been suggested by Professor
Err OF the dairy department of the
Kansas State Agricultural college. A
covered yard plan consists OF building
a cheap structure and allowing the
cows to run loose In the stable. In
other words. II Is merely "a covered
yard. with some cheap roofing material,
closed In on all sides. On one end OF
this yard is a milking stable. into which
the cows are driven to be MIXED every
night and morning. They are fed their
grain ratlons while being MIXED. The
roughage Is fed In the covered yard
proper
Advantages of the Method.
The advantages Of this method Of
stabling are enumerated as follows:
Flrst.-Cheapness: no stalls. no ex-
pensive building and no cement floors
are required, except those that are In
the milking stable.
Second.-This covered yard Is bedded
daily. 1t has the advantage Of making
the GREATEST amount OF the best ma
nure Of any plan that may be devised.
The stable Is cleaned out at such time
as TO allow the manure to be hauled di-
rectly from the stable to the field. Thus
nothing is lost In the way OF fertility.
Third.-Cows are more comfortable
in such n stable than In stalls.
Fourth.-With plenty of bedding the
cows can be kept cleaner
Flfth.-It saves labor to clean out
the stable every day.
Slxth.-All that 1t is necessary TO
keep scrupulously clean is the milking
stable. which is but a small part of the
barn

Shade For Cows.

Shade for cows in summer may come
from trees growing in the pastures sim
gly or in clumps or in places accessible
to them 10y a cheap roof in the pasture
sustained by poles and covered with
straw or by the stables in which they
are kept in winter But 10 shade from
either of these sources during the con-
tinuance of the fly season Professor
Thomas Shaw advances in American
Agriculturist the strong objection that
they furnish breeding places in which
flies multiply with great rapidly. This
is owing to the droppings which accu-
mulate in such centers. In these the
flies deposit their eggs. Because of
this shade furnished by the stables is
preferable, since when properly pro
vided 1t is cooler and flies may be in Il
great measure excluded.

We as Holstein breeders are claim
ing that there is more vitality In Hol-
stein milk than any other breed Of
cattle because our breed Is large and
vigorous and the butter fat is only
about one-quarter of the total food
value of the milk, while other breeds
have from one-third TO one-half butter
fat, which does not make a food prop
erly balanced. No one would think Of
eating butter on bread one-third TO one
half as thick as the slice of bread and
continue to live on 1t and nothing else.
And because we have milk that is
from strong, healthy and vigorous cows
properly balanced is one reason why
we claim vitality In milk, says an IL
llnols dairyman in Holstein Fresian

Cottage and Neufchatel cheeses could
very appropriately be called the "cos-
mopoitan cheese" In the cheese world
from the fact OF its comparative sim
plicity in making. These cheeses differ
somewhat in their chemical compost
ton, but are very similar in appear
ance when served. Both are tooth
some and nutritious article OF diet, but
from the fact that Neufchatel is made
from whole milk and cottage Is made
from skim milk 1t goes without saying
that Neufchatel Is the more nutritious
as well as presenting a yellower and
richer appearance. For a detailed con
sideratiOn Of the manufacture OF these
soft curd cheeses let us first take up
the better one, or Neufchatel.
How NeufchateI Is Made.
Neufchatel cheese is made from milk
containing from TO q per cent or
even more fat The milk is first treat
ell with Il starter (either a commercial
or buttermillS starter Of from . TO >
per cent of its bulk and heated up TO
80 degrees T. and set with rennet. be-
ing very careful at all times not TO dis
turb the coagulum. When coagulated
1t is cooled down as low as possible for
a time something like twenty-four
hours. during which time something
like siX-tenths per cent acid will be
developed. which gives the product Il
rlpened cream flavor. 1t is then care
fully turned into a cheesecloth and
hung up until well drained. After the
surplus whey has been expelled the
cheese can be sailed and seasoned to
suit the taste.
As Market Product.
If the product is intended for market
It can be worked into rolls by filing Il
tube and pushing out the contents
with a plunger The rolls are then
wrapped, first in parchment paper and
lastly with tin foil. From the fact or
its high moisture content it is quite
perishable and should be consumed
within a week The price on the aver
age market will be about 20 cents a
pound-H f. Woods. Ohio, in Nation
