improving Dairy Herds.

blanks than we do prizes in our breed

ally purchase. This is the general
practice Of dairy farmers in this state.
Most of them raise their own ami
mails, but buy back and forth more or
less. In other words, they aim to i'm
prove their herds by good breeding,
that is to say, the better class of them
do, and likewise sell and buy, barter
and exchange. How to improve our
dairy herds cannot all be stated in a

Turnips for Dairy Use.

AS ordinarily fed, turnips injure the
favor of both milk and butter. This
has been demonstrated over and over
again at our experiment stations. The
strong turnipy flavor that comes into
the butter is the product of volatile
oil, which can be driven off by heat
ing the milk to 160 degrees Fahrenheit
for short time. This is the temIera
ture at which pasturizatiOn is usually
done. There have been a great many
men who have claimed that turntps
could be fed cows without injury to
the milk. Among these dairymen was
the late Mr. Hyatt of Wisconsin, who
for many years was known as the
"Turnip King" He claimed that tur-
nips would not affect the milk if they
were fed INN ediately after milking IN
the morning and in the evening. In
this way the food had twelve hours in
which to allow the volatile oil to dis
appear The difference between VIOLA
tile oil and other kind of oils is that
the volatile oil passes through the d.
geStlve process unaffected and ap-
rears in the milk, while other oils un-
dergo chemical transformation We
find that the injury to milk and butter
does not apply to turnips only; that
the same results are attained by feed
ing cabbages and rape, which is Of the
cabbage family. If man is going to
feed turnips and like succulent things
he should experiment with them grad
ually that he may find out for himself
just what effect they will have upon
his milk products. A great many farm
ers could feed turnips to their COWS
for the reason that the butter is used
almost entirely in their own families.
and the turnip favor is not strong
enough to be objected to. 1t is only in
general markets that the turnipy
favor of butter is severely criticised

The Best Guaranty of Merit
Is Open Publicity.

Every bottle of DR. Pierce's world
famed medicines leaving the great labo-
ratory at Buffalo, n. Y, has printed
upon its wrapper all the ingredients
entering into its composition. Ihls tact
alone places DR.. Pierce's Family Medi-
cines IN o. class all By themselves. They
cannot be classed with patent or secret
medicines because they are neither. This
is why SO many appropriated physicians
prescribe them and recommend them to
their patients. They know what they
are composed of and that the ingredients
are those endorsed by the most eminent
medical authorities.
The further fact that neither DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, the
great stomach tonic, liver invigorator,
heart regulator and blood purifier, nor his
''Favorite Prescription" for weak, over
worked, broken-down, nervous women,
contains any alcohol, also entities them
TO place all by themselves.
Many years ago, DR. Pierce discovered
that chemically pure glycerine, of proper
strength, is better solvent and preServ-
alive of the medicinal principles resid-
ing in our indigenous, or native medi-
cinal plants than is alcohol; and, further
more, that it possesses valuable medicinal
properties of its own, being demulcent,
nutritive, antiseptic, and most efficient
antiferment.
Neither of the above medicines con-
tains alcohol, or any harmful, habit
forming drug, as will be seen from
glance at the formula printed on each
bottle wrapper. They are safe to use and
potent to cure.
Not only do physicians prescribe the
above, non-secret medicines largely, but
the most intelligent people employ them
people who would not think of using
the ordinary patent, or secret medicines.
Every ingredient entering into the COM
position of DR. Pierce's medicines has
the strongest kind of an endorsement
from leading medical writer's of the
several schools of practice. No other
medicines put up for like purposes has
any such professional endorsement.

siEaqe from Mixed Crops.

Corn and sorghum both contain an
excess of carbohydrates, and are de-
ficient in protein. To correct this diff
ficulty and balance the nutrients, COW
peas and other legumiDous crops were
grown with them The peas were
planted in the rows with the corn and
sorghum, and while casual inspec-
ton of the crop would indicate that a
large per cent of peas was obtained,
careful separation of the peas from
the corn or sorghum shows that in no
instance was there more than Isl per
cent of peas in the crop, and in some
instances only to 6 per cent: so
small a percentage as to have no
material influence on the composition
and feeding value of the silage. Corn
and sorghum can be combined so that
the resulting silage will consist Of
about equal percentages of each crop.

Slow Churning.

In the winter season the people have
a great deal of trouble in churning in
a reasonable time. One reason for
this is the thinness Of the cream in
the winter under the careless methods
in which milk is set in the farm house
The cream rises very slowly, and
when skinned, contains very large
proportion of milk; such cream churns
with great difficulty. The remedy for
this is to make the cream thicker by
being more careful in skimming. The
two reasons for slow churning is that
the churns are filled too full of cream
The ordinary barrel churn is used on
the farm; if it is filled nearly full the
milk does not receive the pounding
that it should. The barrel churn
should be only one-third full, then
when it revolves the cream falls from
one end of the barrel to the other and
receives shock at each end. 1t is
this shock that causes the butter gran
ules to separate from the casein and
the other parts Of the milk. The next
great reason for slow churning is the
unknown temperature at which the
churning is performed. If the farmers
wife who does the churning will always
have a thermometer at hand, to make
sure that the temperature of the cream
is about IS degrees she will avoid this
trouble Of too low temperature. Some
people make the mistake of pouring
in cold water as soon as the butter
begins to break This sometimes re-
tards the gathering of the butter.
