WaterY Foods and Milk.

In referring to the condition of the
Farm and Home of London says:
1t has often been said that it is
possible to water milk through the
medium of the COW, and this TO a
great extent is true, as there are GER
tain foods, such as brewers grains,
white turnips, and roots generally as
grown in wet season, which notably
increase the quantity of the milk sup
ply at the expense of its quality. The
time when most trouble with poor
milk is experienced is just at about
the end of winter feeding, when the
cows are first going out to grass. If,
as is common, the cows are largely
calved down in March and April,
there are some few weeks before 1t is
time for them to be turned out to
grass. At the period of their calving
the natural or homegrown winter
foods are becoming used up, and il
this shortage is not compensated for
by the use of good deal of purchased
cakes and meals the quality OF the
milk suffers. Further than this, spring
is always a critical time for cows as
for all animals, including human be-
ings, and there is change of diet
from winter to grass keep, which al
ways creates a certain amount Of dis
turbance in the milk supply. Again, the
fact must not be forgotten that the
early-grown grass is not of such
nutritious character as that which
appears later on in the season, and
while it may provide flush of milk,
that milk is apt to be of somewhat
poor quality.
Now, as to the means whereby
farmers may secure a fairly uniform
quality of milk at the times when 1t
is commonly found so poor. In the
first place it is desirable to use a fair
ly large quantity of nitrogenous or
albuminous food material. Among the
most desirable for this purpose, and
for predicting a good flow of milk, are
included cottonseed, soya and linsesd
cakes, pea and bean meal and lentils.
All these are highly nitrogenous food
materials, and will help to keep up
the standard of the quality of the
milk. It is good policy when feeding,
say, inferior hay. to increase the
amount of cake at the rate of one or
two pounds per day, so as to compen-
safe for lack of nourishment in the
fodder.

caused his mother to be murdered.

What Five Hens Have Done.

Of February last and at that time
there were six pullets in the lot. but
one began ailing shortly afterwards
and died ON the 10th of the following
month. It is not likely she produced
any eggs at ell between the 10Th of
February and the time when she died,
and certainly not more than half
dozen. The production for the year
must, therefore, practically all be
credited to the FIVE hens. The total
number OF eggs produced was SOl, IT.
per hen. In addition to this eight
four of them came to maturity, the
others falling prey to cats. The hens
are laying now, ten eggs having
been produced in January, and seven
in the first twelve days Of February,
The consumption of feed during the
year was seven bushels of grain,
mostly barley, and one bushel of corn,
together with table scraps. Putting
the grain even at the extreme price it
was not worth over Sc, while the
eggs at two cents apiece, a moderate
estimate. would be worth SIG, and the
chicks we're worth $1.50 more. The
leaves a return of $3.50 (almost 81
apiece) for the five hens over and
