house and since that time has been
working for the advancement Of
the farming interests.
Last Thursday they held a picnic
at the Rackaby Springs. The meet
ing was well attended. All menu
Der seemed to be in friendly rivalry
to see who could make the day
most pleasant to all Then at the
hour for eating they brought out
such loads Of good things to eat
that after all had eaten there was
more left than had been consumed,
Some things on the menu were
chicken, other meats OF various
kinds, pickles, salads. pies, cakes
and various other things.
Hon. Oliver Wilson, OF Peoria, ILL.,,
Lecturer OF the National Grange, .
and hon. I. y. Kane, OF Canton, .
Master OF the State Grange were
the Spea her5 OF the day /
Mr. wilson delivered mastery
address upon the objects and pur-
poses OF the Order Mr. wilson Is /
a practical farmer ana IS thorough |
Iy posted on all phases OF farming
and his talk was full OF good things I.
which would benefit farmers. Then
I he sees a great work for the Grange
to 90 Tor farmers and IS consequent
Iy an enthusiastic member OF the
order and his work Will DO much
for the good OF farming ana the
building up OF the farmers family.
Mr.. Ralne represented the U. ,.
Department OF Agriculture as
special agent upon the subject OF
Improved Roads Tor missouri. Inc
first speaker held the attention OF
his audience from start TO hnlSh
and his deductions upon the I'M
portance and necessity OF every
farmer identifying himself with
some live, wide awake organization,
and OF a greater union between the.
people OF the town and country
were pleasing and instructive.
Mr. Kane suggested a change
from the. present system OF Road
OVerSeerS' TO IeItlhS Ihe ROAD WORK
out by contract.
lie SAID that any one after re-
viewing the work OF the past 81 or
Az years when the money spent for
road purposes amounted from ~ to
Az thousand dollars to the county
with no perceptlDle Improvement IN
our roads should convince the most
Skeptlcal that change was neceS-
! Sary. Also that we had taken
step forward by adopting the State
5 and County highway Engineer SyS-
TEN, as 1t was as essential to nave
men, qualified to look after the
roads as Tor any other department
OF the government 1t takes brains

When the people can be made to
understand that it actually cost
more in time and money to travel
over a poor road than it does to
travel over a good one, they will
be less inclined to begTLdge the ex-
peDse of good roads, and what is
more important still, will be willing
and anxious to put the business of
road making into the hands of in
telligent men who understand the
business. P or roads are expense
that curse a country district. -

MILK BITTER OR HARD TO
CHURN.

Messrs. Editors: AS a COW ad
vances in her period of lactation the
milk becomes hard to churn, owing
to the hardness of the butter-fat
granules and the increased viscosity
or the cream. These conditions are
aggravated by improper ripening of
the cream and infrequent churnings.
The cream should be ripened
quickly and to somewhat higher de-
gree of acidity than in the summer.
This helps to overcome the viscositv
and prevents the growth of undesir-
able bacteria. A bitter flavor is
probably caused by bacteria. Milk
or cream held for some time at a low
temperature, which prevents the de-
Velcpment of Tactic acid, often be-
comes bitter The remedy is TO
ripen quickly and churn often. New
man iu Bacteria" has the following
10 say regarding bitter fermenta-
tions:
Some bitter conditions of milk
are due to irregularity of diet in the
cow Similar changes occur in con-
junction with some of the acid fer
mentations. Weigman and Conn
nave, however, shown that there is
a specific bitterness in milk, due to
bacteria which appear to produce no
otner change. Hueppe suggests that
II may be due in part to proteid
decomposition resulting in bitter pep
tones, There seems to be some evi-

FEEDING FARM ANIMALS.
XIV-Grnding and for Horses-When 1t Pays and
When 1t Does Feeding of Grinding
Bv TAFT Butler.

creased by grinding. With ear corn
the answer is not so clear, but this
introduces a new element into the
question. The corn cob has some
feeding value which is obtained only
when the cobs are ground. Corn
and-cob meal is more valuable,
probably, than the whole corn with
out the cob. This is certainly true
as regards the feeding of the COW,
but with the horse the increased
value is not very great.
In the foregoing we have practi-
cally answered the second question
of our problem, but to state the an
swer more definitely, we may safely
conclude that if the feeding value
Of shelled corn and oats is increased
by grinding, the increase is not suf-
ficient to pay for the cost of grind
ing under the ordinary conditions
determining that cost.
When 1t Might ray to Grind.
When the grinding can be done
cheaply, as with water-power, for
example, and it is desired to feed
some cottonseed meal with corn or
oats, then grinding of the corn or
oats might pay.
1t is also probable that it will pay
to grind the ear corn (cob and
grain) when this can be done at a
low cost
If cut straw or other more or less
unpalatable roughage is used, it
may also pay to grind the grain to
mix with the roughage to increase
its palatability so that the horses
will consume the necessary amount
These, then, are the conclusions
supported by the available expert
mental evidence and the opinions OF
the best experts:
CD 1t will pay to grind any
small, hard grains.
CD 1t may pay to grind grains
for old animals with defective teeth
CD 1t may pay to grind ear corn
grain and cob-if the grinding can
be done at a low cost.
(4) 1t does not pay to grind corn
and oats for horses and mules as a
general farm practice.

portant one. Owing to the increased
activity in all lines of animal hus-
bandry, throughout the South, it is
of particular interest just at this
time.
In this article, while treating the
question in a more or less general
way that will apply in the feeding
of all farm animals, we shall have
special reference to the feeding of
horses and mules.
There are two considerations
which must determine whether the
grain should be ground or fed whole.
The first of these considerations is:
Does it increase the value of a
grain to grind it? That is, do
horses and mules obtain more nutri-
ment from grain when it is ground
than when it is fed whole?
If this phase of the question be
answered in the negative, the whole
question is settled; but if it be found
that these animals get more out of
grains ground than when fed whole,
then the second consideration is:
How much does the grinding of
grains increase their feeding value
to horses and mules? Is the in
creased value equal to, or worth
more, than the cost of grinding?
The Answer May Depend on the Ami
mails Teeth.
In considering the question as to
the relative value of any grain
when it is fed whole and when
ground, it must be assumed that the
teeth of the animal are in condition
to properly masticate or grind the
grain for himself Old animals
with defective teeth will probably
do better on ground grains as mat
ter of course, and it may without
further consideration be accepted as
settled that such animals will get
more from given weight of ground
grain than an equal weight fed
whole. Some might be disposed to
include colts. or young animals, as
in this class also; but this is by no
means proved, and we are inclined
to make no exception except in the
case of the animal with defective
teeth.
1t may also be accepted that it
will pay to grind small, hard grains
like wheat, kaffir corn, rye, etc..
but these are so seldom used for
horse feeding in the South that they
scarcely enter into our problem.
The two grains most generally
used for feeding horses in this coun-
try are corn and oats, and the ques-
tion we must ask ourselves and an
swer is: Do horses and mules get
more nutriment from ground corn
and oats than from these grains
when fed whole?
Grinding Does Not Ordinarily PAY
We have not the space to give the
details of the experiments from
which this question has been answer
ed, but there can be no doubt as TO
the correct answer. The grind;no
OF shelled corn and oats for horses
with good teeth does not materially
increase their feeding value. Per-
haps the evidence of short feeding
tests does tend to show that their
feeding value is somewhat increased
