Fat In Milk.

1t cannot 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 we'll
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. cornmeal and ground oats.
At the Cornell university cows that
yielded 200 pounds of butter fat annu-
ally under ordinary feeding yielded
80 pounds when given liberal rations
of feed rich in nitrogen and carbohy-
drates. Cream will not make butter
unless it contains fat. and profitable
fats will not be produced unless cows
are fed on rations rich in the elements
that produce cream.

Makes Feathers FLY.

II. G. GriSgs of East Orange ~ j.,
Is the inventor of Il fowl plucking de-
vice which poultry raisers who Ia &c
inspected it believe will ill want in
the industry. Other machines have
been invented to do the work which
GriggS provides FOR in his machine. but
none has heretofore been anything
more than an Interesting piece of ma
chinery with little practical worth.
Griggs departs from the lines follow
ed in other machines and introduces
an entirely new methOd. The fowl
to be plucked is placed on an endless
travelling belt and carried through IL
series of fingers. which are SO ar
ranged that they go over the entire
bird. plucking it clean of feathers. The
danger of tearing the skin is avoided
by the simple eXpedient Of having the
fingers clutch only a few feathers at a
time The size of the bird is no factor
whatever. 1t will stay in the machine
until plucked. whether large or small.
\ pneumatic tube carries away the
feathers as fast as they are removed.
Griggs is civil engineer and never
raised Il chicken in his life. but he no.
ticed a few years ago, while visiting
friend who runs poultry farm. that
the labor of removing feathers from
the birds was one of the chief items of
cost in preparing the product for mar
ket. 1t is said that the owner of one
of his machines will be able to reduce
his expenses by 20 per cent.

Elephants and Railroads.

Recently two railroad trains in Siam
have had encounters with elephants.
In both cases the animals were killed.
but in one the train was deraied and
six cars were telescoped. 1t appears
that the locomotives had no cowcatcll-
ers. for European railroad engineers
generally smile at cowcatchers us de-
vices suitable only for what they i'm
agine to be American conditions of
traffic. 1t is now remarked. however.
that the American cowcatcher might
be very good for stray elephants. and
they have been introduced on the large
locomotives of the Damascus-Mecca
line. anticipating possible collisions
with camels.

people pay for labor. The panic made
the situation a little easier. but it has
not relieved it permanently. 1t will be
