The plans and specifications
for this building are now in the
hands of the contractors and bids
for the construction of the hotel
are to be opened on Saturday,
Nov. 21st, at the German State
Bank. AS soon as the contract
lis awarded by Mr.. Haener work
will be rushed on the building in
order to have it completed at the

lNJURE THE MILK.

Use Of Rusty or Poorly Timed Cans
Produce of Flavors.
"Rusty Cans and Their Effect Upon
MIX For Cheesemaking' is the title
OF a recent bulletin Of the Wisconsin
experiment station prepared by George
A. Olson, assistant chemist. Expert
ments made by Mr.. Olson show that
milk hauled in poorly timed or rusty
cans is materially injured for cheese
making. ''The cheese factory operator
should not hesitate to refuse milk
which is hauled in poorly timed or
rusty cans" writes Mr.. Olson, ''for, In
addition to the retarding influence Of
the iron ON the rennet action and the
naturalization of the acid by the iron,
there are also produced taints or of
havors."
The milk cans used to haul milk to
the cheese factory are often of cheap
grade and are dented the first or sec
ond time that they are used, with a
result that the tin cracks and the iron
is exposed and rusts. At one factory a
can was found that had been used for
yGdID anu AflI DSOh SOtASASA
forty times, with lead patches two
inches in diameter in some places.
Milk kept in such cans would take for
ty minutes longer to coagulate than
that kept in good cans.
In these experiments milk was placed
In rusty tin cans and allowed to stand
for different periods, while other sam
pies Of the same milk were kept In
glass beakers. Every time that this
experiment was repeated the milk kept
In the rusty cans gave evidence of re
tarding influence on the rennet actor
as compared with the milk kept in the
| glass beaker. Milk which was allowed
| to stand In iron utensils for severa
hours had a peculiar blush gray color
indicating the presence Of iron in solu
ton. 1t was evident that the acid IL
the milk acted upon the iron and dis
solved some of 1t. The maximum guam
tity of iron dissolved in the mill
ranged from one to one and a hal
pounds for every thousand pounds o
milk. This iron in solution at leas
partly causes the retarding influence o
the rennet action, since it increases tn,
solids in the milk.

SUMMER FEED FOR HOGS.

Rapid Gains at Low Cost From Both
Forage and Grain.
When hogs are kept 1t is good plan
to produce as much of the feed for
them right there on the farm as posi-
BILE. All want to make pork as cheap
ly as they can, and the feed raised on
The farm is, as a rule, cheaper than
commercial feeds. But there are ex-
ceptions to the rule, and the man who
holds himself to rule regardless of
conditions should change his methods.
Experiments have proved, what we
have found by experience to be true,
that the table waste and skimmilk and
cornmeal constitute a feed for hogs
running to pasture that make the most
rapid gains for the cost of feed of any,
thing yet found, writes N. A. eClapp in
Orange Judd Farmer. 1t is not neces-
sary to stop to theoriZe In regard to
the matter. 1t is sufficient to know
that such things are fact.
But the question comes up as to the
kind of pasture that furnishes the best
feed. 1t has been proved again and
again that alfalfa makes the best feed,
with June clover a close second. In
the absence of clover, blue grass is
the next best pasture. When none of
the clovers or grasses are available II
is far better to SOW rape than to COM
pei pigs to go without any green for
age.
The man who gets lopsided and keeps
his hogs either on green forage alone
or on grain alone makes mistake
Experience has shown us that hogs
can live on forage and make some gain
| but do not make the gains rapid enough
| 10 show the venture satisfactory one
Hogs may make rapid gains on a grain
diet alone, but it is too expensive. The
man who uses both forage and grain
makes a rapid gain at a low cost, pro
vided the feeds are well balanced
Hogs fed on both forage and grail
show a better quality Of meat than !
either is fed alone. The forage helps
to make bone and muscle, and the grain
helps to add the fat. The skimmilk
buttermilk, dishwater and whey pro
mote growth, and all help to produc
cheap pork If fed In connection will
the other feeds. They also help to i'm
prove the quality OF meat.

JEhSEx BULL OF OA1Rx TIE
the stock produced will be of an in
ferior character. 1t is here that the
mistake becomes conspicuous, and it
is more noticeable later when the
progeny is marketed. Superior cows
are very desirable, but first class
bull is more SO, and it ought to be the
ambition of all to own such not only
as credit to oneself, but as a money
maker.
A COW may be as good as is possible,
but use an inferior bull and her calf
will be moderate, to say the least, but
use substantial bull and ninety mine
chances to one the calf will be better
either than the sire or dam, writes W.
K. Gilbert in Field and Farm. At
tempts to breed from a poor class of
cows with bull of a similar character
only results in the production Of lot
of weeds, but If really good bull Is
used for inferior cows the stock will
be improved perceptibly, both in APP
pearance and value.
A pure bred bull of any kind is an
acceptable animal, but crossbred ones
are doubtful. That some are good, /
admit, but the majority are rubbish.
1t does not matter what the object Of
breeding be-milk production in the
extreme or beef with great develop
ment on the most valued parts-a SUI
perior bull will always make its mark
and have a big share in securing all
that is required, both for ornament and
utility.
There are two principal influences to
account for the patronage given to In
| ferior bulls. AS in so many cases,
money is at the bottom Of one. Some
pride themselves on how cheap they
can buy a bull. What a delusion to
compliment oneself on!
Now for the other influence. 1t is
Indifference. 1t IL. quite extraordinary
how keen, intelligent men who know
quite well the great advantage Of en-
ploying a good bull will introduce and
retain MASTERS. They may say they
do not rear calves and it does not mat
ter what these are like; the cows
milk as well from an inferior as a su
perior bull, and so on. But is this
studying ones own interest to the ut
most? l am sure it is not. Neither Il
it advancing superior stock breeding
which we all profess to take an inter
est in.
/ am often interested In finding how
soon small farmers, who do not pro
fess to know a great deal of how t.
improve breeds, learn the advantag
of good bull.
They rarely keep a bull themselves
but send their COWS to those Of large
farmers in the district. They ma.
hardly be able to tell from observation
which is the best, but once a calf o
two arrive, and they notice progress
the fine contour or the lusty quarter
they soon realize where the superio
bull resides, and they patronize hir
time after time, irrespective Of fee,
that is anything within reason.
The cheapest way to secure 81
perior bull is to buy it as a calf an

Care Of Cream.

Aside from the securing of cream.
there are other things which enter into
its care and which should be observed
to insure cream Of first quality. Cream
rapidly takes up odors and for this
reason should be kept in a pure at
mosphere. Do not set cream in the
kitchen, for 1t will absorb kitchen
odors. A great deal Of cream, other
wise first grade, tastes of fried onions
and Of fried ham and of tobacco, all
of which things may have been used in
the kitchen. Likewise do not place
the cream can in the cellar where there
are potatoes and cabbage and other
vegetables. Keep the cream away
from the barn, for the barn and cowy
Odors are the most Objectionable odors
it is possible for cream to have.

STOCK AND DAIRY.

Il can give congress credit for one
splendid deed" says a Texas cattle
breeder 1.-THE matter l speak of is
the appropriation of $250,000 for the
eradication Of the cattle tick. This
miserable pest, according to the very
conservative calculations of the depart
ment Of agriculture, causes an annual
loss Of $65,000,00O by reason of the
thousands Of cattle which succumb to
its poisonous attacks. believe that
In reality the damage it does is more
than twice that given by the depart
ment although 1t is difficult to get at

Molasses For Horses.
The Louisiana experiment station re,
ports thus on the use Of cane molasses
for horses: In spite Of many reports IA
vorable to the use of molasses for
horses, the writer is not inclined to
recommend to northern farmers its In
discriminate use in place of the cereals
and their byproducts. AS an appetizer
and tonic for horses out of condition,
as collie preventive and for improving
the palatabuity of rations two to three
pounds daily of molasses undoubtedly
would prove productive of satisfactory
results.

Data For Calves.

The great business Of the growing
calf is to make muscle. This muscle Is
what gives plumpness to thrifty
calf. -
For this purpose a4 food is needed
which is especially rich in muscle
forming material. Grass11s not. For
this nothing can be found that is bet
ter than oats. Not only are they rich
in the material desired, but that rich
ness is not so concentrated as to make
them a dangerous food. They are
neither heating nor fattening in their
nature. but tend instead TO build up
muscle and give the animal strength
and vigor
In the spring, before the pastures are
ready to turn on to, is the time that tine
calves will need this addition to their
feed. If at any time they are allowed
to grow thin in flesh it will take long
time of good feeding and careful atten-
ton to bring them again into thrifty
ondition.-Gilbert Allen.

SELECTING
THE BULL.

AS rule, less attention is given to
selecting bull than cow. There Is
very general desire to possess su-
perior cows, but judging from the fear
some looking specimens one frequently
sees doing duty as bulls 1t is quite
evident that there are plenty who do
not care what breed, form. size OF
other points they own so long as they
can do their work.
This is an extremely unfortunate at
titude, and when put in practice, as Il
far too often is, it is quite certain that

rear it. The character of the sire and
dam ought to be known, If possible,
or in any case it should be a well set
up youngster. If more matured bull
is wanted, he may be from year to
eighteen months old, for after fifteen
months can be used freely. 1t Is
always Better to buy a smart young
bull than partially wornout or aged
one. 1t is a bad plan, too, to be al
ways chopping and changing bulls.
Get a good one to start with, take a
pride in him and stick to him as long
as he Is At.

suit is garget and loss Of quarters in
the udder. No other portion of the
cows body takes as much blood as the
udder, except 1t be the heart and lungs.
The big veins, called milk veins, show
that lying on the cold cement floor
causes congestion in the udder and
garget ensues. Besides garget, rheu-

way.
