care Of the Cows Teats.

The care Of the teats should always
be observed by the mixer and when
they get hard and rough should be
anointed with vaseline, as cracked teats
are an annoyance to the mixer, hurt
full to the COW and have tendency to
lessen the flow Of milk. Long finger
nails are also discontinue to the
COW. and the mixer should keep them
well pared to avoid trouble.
Some cows win not give down their
milk for some mixers as readily as to
others, and it is often necessary to
change mixers and try to find one
whom the COW takes liking to and
for whom she will give It down. The
holding up Of the milk has a tendency
to lessen the secretion and consequent
ly the flow

way of dirt and injury; four good
sized teats wide apart on the four
corners of the udder, in length from
two and half inches to three and q
half inches, hanging perpendicularly
1t needs no argument to show that,
other things being equal, COW with
the above udder and teats is perfection,
and if breeders of AyrshIres would all
aim to produce this style of udder on
their cows it would in itself cover a
multitude Of imperfections in other
parts of the body. The Ayrshire COW
here reproduced from Hoard's Dairy
man is owned by Barclay farm, Bryn
Mawr, Pa. This COW entered the adj
vaneed registry this year and gave
1855 pounsis Of milk. 525 pounds Of
butter in one year.

The Separator In Missouri.

The hand cream separator Is a very
potent factor in Missouri dairying. 1t
came slowly at first, but Of late very
rapidly. 1t has come to stay and has
brought additional prosperity with it
ANY man with ten ordinary cows
who is where he can patronize a
creamery, either centralized or local,
cannot afford to be without one. The
extra cream saved in one year over
the deep eau OF crock system will
usually pay for the machine, and
the machine if treated decently will
last for ten or fifteen years. There are
half a dozen makes Of separators on
the market Competition has forced
them all to become good and stay good.
The farm separator is now to the dairy
farmer what the Irvine binder is to the
grain farmer 1t is possible to cut
grain with cradle, but it would not
pay to do it in that way. The milk
producer can make some money IL
the old way of raising cream, but 1t
does not pay-R NJ. Washburn in

Ayrshire breeders for the last fifty
wears or more have been handicapped
In breeding because the standard of
excellence has lacked uniformity be-
tween the three great breeding sections
for Ayrshire cattle, Scotland, Canada
and the States. The outlook for the
future seems much more hopeful, for
all three have practically united on one
common scale OF points as the standard
of excellence. and in future there
should be no wide difference between
Ayfshlres of the different sections Ii
Ayrshires are to be kept as one breed
and one general family, there must
be more attention paid to breeding
after the pattern as laid down by the
different associations, and these assoA

Ayrshire club meeting.
The strongest point of the Ayrshire
COW, around which cluster all the other
points, are the udder and teats, and this
is the same in all countries under the
recent revision-a large, square udder

The Massachusetts state crop report
contains an article by Professor r. s.
Cooley on "Some Causes Affecting the
Profits of Dairying." On the subject
Of feeding dairy cattle the professor
urges that feeds be produced on the
farm as far as possible. Usually the
best practice is to purchase only feeds
rich in protein and raise the coarse
folders on the farm. Cows fed on star
vation rations yield no profit, and those
overfed with expensive feeds are also
kept at loss The point of highest
profit In feed must be determined by
experiment and calculation and varies
with the locality and circumstances Of
the feeder

VEGETABLES FOR POULTRY.

Preservation of Health.

Preservation OF Health.
All poultry keepers who have a gar
den and grow vegetables should util-
Ize the surplus for their fowls. as they
help to keep the birds in health and
also economic the expense of feeding,
says a. v. Neersch in Western Poul-
try Journal In the summer months
fowls do not require as good feeding
as in the winter, on account of their
being able to find such a large amount
of natural food for themselytM in the
shape of slugs, worms, grubs, seeds
and insects In many cases where the
winter rations are continued through
the summer disease and death follow,
owing to the birds becoming overheat-
ed and too fat internally. Green food
of all kinds is invaluable for keeping
poultry in health; therefore all cooked
leaves of cabbage, lettuce, cauIifiower,
etc, should be mashed for the morning
feed. Uncooked cabbage leaves should
also occasionally be thrown in the
run, as they are fond of them, and
they are to be recommended on ac-
count Of their cooling and health Civ
ing properties The poultry keeper
with garden should therefore let
nothing in the way Of garden food go
to loss, with the twofoId object Of
keeping the fowls in health and Of re-
ducing the food bill.

Especial Correspondence

Especial Corresp ondence.I
The work of state grange lecturer
is many sided and calls for a variety
of qualifications, but above all it is
supervisory, bearing much the same
relation to the subordinate grange as
does the school superintendent to the
several schools comprising his district.
The large work of the grange lies
through its lecture hour, and the I'M
DERIVING mission of the state lecturer
is to secure for that lecture hour the
highest possible standard of excel
lence.
AS there arc mighty differences in
lie composition of subordinate lectur-

lLecturer Massachu- It means end
sets state grange.l less work to
gain such an acquaintance throughout
a state, but it is the basis for success
full supervision, and it can be done,
while without it the opportunity for
improving the lecture hour work is
greatly diminished
Some local lecturers must be adj
vised, some encouraged, some warned,
all helped. The position of subordi-
nate lecturer is one of great response
bility, yet it frequently devolves upon
persons having little realization of its
requirements. To such as these the
state lecturer should prove a friend
indeed, and every call from these sub
ordinate workers should have his in
slant response. For every subordinate
and Pomona lecturer in the state to
feel perfectly free to write to the state
lecturer on any subject in doubt and
to be sure of instant interest, careful
consideration and helpful and pune
tual reply such is the ideal relation
in handling the lecture hour work in
state. And to establish such a rela
ton, then working out its natural
fruits, is the fundamental task of the
state lecturer.
1t is clearly within his province to
visit as many as possible of the sub
ordinate and Pomona oranges during
the year. Here he is not only able to
personally greet and encourage lee
.turers, but he sees the conditions under
which they labor, he gains information
that he can apply to other fields, he
comes in contact with the rank and
file of membership and thereby him
self gains capacity for the broad view
which the duties of his position con-
tinually require. He may speak on the
Order, or, in his Judgment, may lead
the thought of his hearers out upon
more general lines, in order to en-
phasize the broad educational view
which the grange must be continually
giving to its members if it is TO expect
an influence aud maintain its hold.
The state lecturer may organize new
oranges. but If he is faithful to the
duties that logically attach to his de-
partment he will have little time to do
so. And it would appear that a con-
centration of his best energies to devel-
oping and improving the lecture hour
work constitutes his specialized prov .
ince
Always should the authority Of the
local lecturer be recognized and UNI
der his or her direction should all eff
forts be exerted. The suggestion of
methods tried elsewhere or deemed
worthy of trial; the adoption Of innoya-
lions or the discontinuance of customs
deemed unworthy; whichever the state
lecturer may undertake, for the benefit
of the lecture hour, should be exerted
through the local lecturer, who stands,
IN that Immediate field, responsible for
The work
So the state lecturers work, how
ever exerted, in spoken word, written
Suggestion or by personal contact, is
to exercise wise supervision, to pa
tiently and tactfully counsel and to be
ali unfailing source of helpfulness to
his subordinates in stimulating the
largest interest and in awakening the
members of the Order to Its magnif-
cent possibilities.

Cheaper Than Government
Works

There is a great hue and cry ove
the price per acre that will be charg-
ed by the company which is to con
struct the large irrigation works on
the Shoshoni reservation. AS IA mat
ter of fact the price per acre for wat
er there is less than what the Govern
ment is going to charge on any prop
osition i'll the state Of Wyoming. The
contract between the state and the
company compells them to put in
good works in the shape of reservoirs
dams and bitches, works that will
last for centuries. Government en-
gineers, who went over the Shoshoni
project and made estimates of the
cost of the works, We're of the opinion
that the land could not be watered
for what the present contract calls
for. OF course there are a few thou
sands of acres, here and there, that
could be watered cheaper, but when
the whole project is considered the
price per acre will only let the com
pany out in the end, with the capital
invested and 6 per cent. interest.
