Those in charge of the dairy exhibits
at the New York state fair at Syracuse
have outlined programme that bids
fair to arouse good deal Of interest
in dairy and kindred subjects. Among
other things through the cooperation
Of the state fair commission the prize
money placed at the disposal Of the
department Is to be $4,000. Prizes
will be offered for butter. cheese and
market milk and cream, with liberal
Inducements for speciafties, while
prizes of SIS and SIS will be given for
the best short essays on the follow
ing subjects: Bovine tuberculosis, use
of skimmilk on the farm, the COM
mercial starter, the best way to start
a dairy herd, the improvement Of the
cheese industry Of New York, dairy
and milk sanitation. care Of milk In
the household and how to reduce cost
Of milk production in the state. In
addition to the above, prizes will be
given for the best samples of farm
made butter. Excellent practical re-
suits are bound to come from thus de-
voting special thought to the dairy
problems Of the state. The example
set might well be followed elsewhere.

CANCERS AND BOVINE TUBER.
CULOSiS.

While radical and severe methods
often have to be restored to remove a
cancerous growth from the human sys-
tenn, the end seems to justify the
means. 1t is much the same way with
this matter Of bovine tuberculosis.
Some dairymen seem to think that the
matter can be lest solved by tempori2-
ing and not applying drastic measures.
But as with the cancer the situation
goes from bad to worse with delay. If
a farmers herd Is affected with tubc'-
culosis the most sensible ana cheapc~
measures for him to pursue in the lone
run, as well as that which is mos
commendable from the standpoint o
the public veal, Is to weed out tlsc t.is
cased cows and start On new basis
1t may require moral courage to &c
this. but 1t would seem to be the o:,i3
right course to pursue.

The COLLEGE, Game.

Silas Whipperwill had not been IN
college over month until he began
using all the student slang in addi-

he wrote his father like this:

out more cash. It Is hard to get good re-
suits without the necessary money. !

MAKING VINEGAR.

There are but few orchardists whose
apples are Of so uniformly good quail
iity that there are not quite per cent
that will have to be disposed of in
some way other than shipping to mar
iket. One of the best ways of dispos-
ing Of this fruit is the making of it
into vinegar. In the conversion OF
cider into vinegar there are two sep
arate chemical processes. The first is
the change Of the sugar in the apples
into alcohol and the second the chang
ling of this alcohol into vinegar or
iacetic acid. The first process is eff
fected by species Of organism similar
ito yeast, while different form OF
bacteria life converts the alcohol into
vinegar Since sugar is the basis of
vinegar it goes without saying that ap-
piles which contain the most Of it will
produce the most as well as the best
quality Of vinegar. 1t is on this ac-
count that green and immature fruit
has so little value in making vinegar
Bulletin No. 258 Of the New York ex-
pertinent station recommends the fol-
lowing as one Of the most satisfactory
methods of making vinegar: When the
cider is pressed from the apples the
barrels should be filled about two-thirds
full and the bung replaced by loose
plug Of cotton, which will lessen evap-
Grafton and keep out bugs and dirt.
Where the quantity Of vinegar to be
made Is considerable the barrels should
be placed In a room where the tenn
,perature can be kept at from 70 to 80
degrees during the fall and early win
ter months. If the batch is small thc
barrels may be left out Of doors while
the weather Is warm and then placed
in the warmest room convenient and
later placed in dry cellar.
If the temperature of the storeroom
does not fall below 45 degrees the con-
version of the sugar into alcohol will
require about six months, but the proc
ess Of fermentation may be fastened
by an addition of fresh commercial
yeast. When the cider has quit work
ing the clear portion should be drawn
off, the barrel rinsed out, the liquid re-
placed, with the addition Of from two
to four quarts Of good vinegar contain
ing some mother The next process,
the change Of the alcohol into acetic
acid may be effected in three months
and may require two years. In any
event, 1t will take place most rapidly in
a temperature ranging from IS to rs
degrees. When the vinegar has reach
ed the proper strength, which should
be per cent Of acetic acid, the bar
rels should be filed full and tightly
corked. This will prevent other
changes and will cause the vinegar to
keep it's strength. If one has consider
able vinegar to make it would be well
for him to secure the bulletin referred
to, which is obtainable at small cost

We have received word this year

luton. This may be made by mixing
q pound Of paris green and two pounds
Of freshly slaked lime into 200 gallons
of water. The poison should be stirred
In small can Of water into fine, non
lumpy paste before being put in the
water, while the lime paste should be
as fine grained as possible, so that it
will not clog the sprayer. In the proc
ess of spraying the solution should be
stirred at frequent intervals, as the
paris green is very heavy and tends to
sink to the bottom of the barrel or
tank.

1t is a noticeable fact that the farm
ers who are usually most troubled with
the weed nuisance are the ones who
are least concerned with keeping up
the fertility of their farms. Slipshod
agricultural methods, lack of proper
cultivation of soil and failure to ro-
tate crops are the conditions under
which weeds hold high revel and do
their worst work.

Judging from dry weat4er conditions
prevailing in so many sections of the
country, it begins to look as If those
who predicted that this would be the
first in a cycle Of dry years were not
very far out Of the way even If condi-
tions prevailing in May and June did
serve in a measure to discredit their
prophecies.

While it is questionable If the feed
ing of concentrated feeds, such as
cornmeal, bran, shorts and oilmeal,
pays when pastures are flush, it is well
to feed moderately of them to tide the
cows over the period of slack short
feed in midsummer until the Septem-
Der rains renew the grass. If the milk
flow is kept up in this way during this
period it is likely to continue well into

The farmer or gardener having
quantities of fruit or vegetables to sell
can safeguard his interests and help
his pocketbook by keeping in touch
with market conditions at leading
nearby points. In no way can he do
this more satisfactorily than by taking
some good produce paper. Bulls and
bears and sometimes sharks get in
their work in the reports which ap-
pear in these publications, but the dis
cerning reader can sift out the truth
and from the extremes draw pretty
satisfactory conclusion as to the condi-
ton of the market. Such papers can
be got for dollar year, and often in
one season ones subscription will be

The same principles that hold true
in the cultivation of corn or other till
ed crops apply to the cultivation of the
orchard trees. The stirring Of the soil
not only holds in check the develop
ment of many forms of insect life. but
places at the disposal of the trees q
maximum amount of humus and soil
moisture. which is of especial value in
dry season. In the case of the trees
the cultivation should not be continued
later than July Is, which will permit
the growth of sufficient vegetation to
serve as a sort Of cover crop, which
will hold the snow in winter.
