1t can not be that the butter fat in
milk Is obtained from the fat stored
in the tissues Of the COW, otherwise the
animal would soon become emaciated
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest. and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat in their bodies Reason as well
as observation teaches that cows ex-
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and TO produce a
large percentage Of cream the rations
of the COW should be rich in the ele-
ments of nitrogen and carbohydrates,
which are found in linseed meal. mid.
dlings, bran, corn meal and ground
oats. At the Cornell University cows

annually under ordinary feeding Yield
ed $40 pounds when given liberal
rations of feed rich in nitrogen and

butter unless it contains fat. and
profitable fats viii not be produced
unless cows are fed on ratlons rich in
the elements that produce cream.

Killing Qunck Grnss.

A Michigan farmer gives these in,
structions for killing quack grass:
Plow five or six inches deep in the
growing season, say April, May and
June. Give it good digging, then
cultivate with cultivator that has
teeth close enough so they will cut
the roots two or two and one-half
inches under the ground. The secret
is to keep 1t from getting to the sur
face. 1t wants holding down six
weeks. 1t does not take expensive
tools. | use an old fashioned cult
vator that was bought fifty years ago
1t has seven teeth, three in front, four
in rear; each tooth cuts six inches
wide 1t Is good to drag it over after
three or four days. | cultivate once
a week for six weeks; it has never
failed me yet. The roots will be dead
as hay. 1t is good for Canada thistles
II one is doubtful, take a rod or more
square and keep it down for six
weeks and see how ii works. This was
done with a hoe on two acres, and 100
bushels of smutnose corn were raised
to the acre, planted in drills one foot
apart and hoed to KILL

Benefits of Hum US.

The substance left in the ground
after the fertilizer has decayed is
known as "humus." In order to Sc
cure the greatest results from the fer
tilizer and to get the largest possible
quantity Of humus, 1t Is necessary that
the soil be moist when the fertilizer
is plowed under Only small amount
of humus Is obtained from the turned
under fertilizer should the ground be
dry.
When the fertilizer is allowed to lie
upon the surface for period, exposed
to the sun, much good is lost from
the fact that it forms but small
amount of humus when plowed under.
Therefore it is important that the soil
should always be moist when fertilizer
of any kind is plowed under
In many ways humus benefits the
soil In the first place, it makes the
soil lighter as well as looser. This
condition allows good ventilation and
gives a chance for poisonous gases to
escape The soil does not become over
heated, and in clay territory, the
ground is lightened, making it more
easy to work. 1t is equally beneficial
in sandy soil, inasmuch as 1t as
sists in binding it together allowing
more substance,

KAISER'S NEW BATHTUB.
Designed for Tenements-Can Be Used
as Dining Table Too.

The German Emperor is, as is well
known, great admirer of English do
mestic institutions. When over here he
was charmed with the practical way in
which the British workman living in
modern tenement houses has the use of
Il bathroom.
He ordered, therefore, to have plans
submitted to him which took particular
note of baths in workmen's dwellings
with a view to fit into small flats for
small families. The bath which was Ill
timately adopted is meant to serve n
threefold purpose.
This bath is actually already in use
on the Emperor's different estates, and
can with clever contrivance of some
wooden parts be changed into a washing
tub. and this again can be changed into
a dinner table. Thus workmen are re-
lieved from finding house room for big
bath in their dwellings, and when not in
use for bath or the washing il is one
of the most indispensable pieces of fur
nture as the dinner table of the family.

Hogs and straw Kicks.

Some farmers think that a straw
rick is a good place for the SOW and
her brood to sleep. This is a mistake.
1t is best to keep them away from the
straw pile winter and summer. In the
winter the pigs will burrow beneath
the straw, get too warm and take cold
when they come out into the freezing
atmosphere. Coughing and Wheeling
is the result, and the pigs do no good
or die. Besides, if burrowed beneath
the straw they are liable to be stepped
on and seriously injured or killed by
the stock running to the rick
During the summer months especial
ly should the SOW and her young be
fenced from the straw pile. If they
burrow down into the half rotted
straw they will be very apt to con
tract some disease

Feeding stalks to Hogs.

When the green stalks are given &c
hogs care should be taken to prevent
cattle from having access to the woody
fiber which the swine will leave after
chewing the stalks. Pigs relish chew
ing the stalk for the sweetness in II
but leave enough saccharine matter in
the fiber to make it attractive to cat
tie, especially the younger stock. This
fiber is indigestible, and the cattle, if
allowed to pick it up, will frequently
eat a sufficient quantity to cause i'm.
