atable and the conditions for a maxi
mum milk flow are ideal. These con.
ditions, however, do not last very
long.
The silo comes as near to supplying
the ideal conditions as anything that
can be found, and it is available every
day in the year. 1t provides uniform
feed for every one of the twelve
months.
Highly sensitive dairy COWS resent
any sudden or violent change in feed,
and will show it by decreased milk
How. The change from fall pasture
to dry feed is always followed by a
shrinkage in the milk.
In changing from the pasture to the
silage, the change is not so great, and
often the cows increase the flow of
milk when started on silage. Several
dairymen have recently made the
statement that the increased profits
paid for the silo the first year.

QUALITIES OF THE AYRSHIRE

Easy to MIX.

The general appearance of an Ayr
shire, as you look at her. is striking,
being alert and full of life and re-
served energy. She is healthy COW,
rarely having ailments of body and
adder, and you seldom see an Ayrshire
COW but that has four healthy quar-
tiers in her udder and gives a uniform
quantity Of milk from each. She is
a very persistent mixer. giving a
'Hniform quality well up toward calv-
ing. and many of them are dried off
with difficulty.
She is very intelligent, quick to
learn and of a retentive memory,
easily taught to take the same place
in the stable and, if required to
change, will in few days readily
take the new place. She is quiet
and pleasant to milk, not easily dis
turbed. and will as a rule yield her
milk as readily to one mixer as to
another, and does not seem disturbed
by any amount of noise in the stable
AS a dairy cow she is particularly
adapted TO the production of milk for
the milkman and for table use. as her
medium size, vigorous appetite and
Easy keeping qualities make her an
economical producer, while her even.
nnifOrm production makes her a reli-
able supply, and the richness of her
milk in total solids places it above
suspicion from city milk inspectors.
Her milk is particularly adapted to
transportation, as it does not churn

Cruelty to the Cows

The mixer who will thump a cow

In the corn plant about 40 per cent
of the feeding value is in the stalk

NEW YORK BANKS
ARE CAUGHT SHORT

Bradstreet's, July Is: Complacehcy
with regard to the situation Of the
New York money market received q
shock from the somewhat surprising
showing which the associated banks
and trust companies made In the week
ly Clearing House statements Of last
Saturday The combined reports Of
all members, given in the usual form
in another column, showed In the ac-
tual returns a deficit OF $5,413,200 be-
low the legal reserves, while in the
averaged statement tho surplus re.
serve was reduced to only $1,s2S, 500,
these figures representing decreases OF
ST., 900 In the actual and $1s,7f6.-
$50 in the average showfngs. Taking
the banks alone, their averages exhib-
tied deficit In reserve Of $213,000.
while In the actual figures they were
$7,775,75o under their reserve REQUIRE
ments The last occasion on which
al shortage of reserve by the New
York banks was reported was on March
80, when the deficit was s211.250. but
on December 2, 1911, they reported one
Of So, LAG, 900. Accompanying the above
were changes in the other items OF
the Clearing House statements which
make the results clearer. In their cash
the banks alone lost $26, 976,000 for the
week, increasing their loans by 81
10 900, while their deposits decreased
by $23,131 200. When the trust COM
panies' figures are included the show
ing as to cash is little better, the com
bihed statement displaying a loss OF
$2o,060,0 COG in specie and legal ten
ders.
Several circumstances, however,
combined to make the demand upon
the New York institutions cash dur
ing the week exceptionally heavy. The
July / disbursements, amounting to
fully $4,000, 900, were, it is true, f.
nanced without any difficulty, but 1t
is to be considered that they neces-
sarily involved the temporary with
drawal of a certain but unknown
amount of money from banking chan
nels. The recent large movement of
funds into the treasury, representing
corporation tax and other payments.
which were largely deferred until the
late date they were due-that is, June
30--contributed an important item.
Finally, it is to be recognized that
the shipments of 100000 gold from
New York to Paris last week and OF
an equal amount the week before took
$4,000, 900. from the New York market
within the space of 2 fortnight The
conjunction of all these circumstances
would seem to fully account for the
rather sensational nature Of the re-

Willett g. Gray'ss journal of July Is
Interestingly discusses the recent in
crease in sugar prices. While the
idea is expressed that it was purely
speculative market, Willett & Gray
and the authorities they quote may
be partly mistaken. More than two
weeks have elapsed since their re-
view below quoted, yet the market
at this writing is If anything stronger
than then. The SPECTATORS may be
calculating farther ahead than the re-
viewers now apprehend. 1t Is strange,
anyhow, if the market can be held
up continuously for weeks upon facti-
tious scares, If that is all there is to
the powerful movement that has sent
prices up. Willgtt & Gray say:
The week under review is notable
for its increased activity along spec
ulative lines on the sugar exchanges
of Europe.
Although confidence is not strong in
the continuation of such manipula-
tion of the markets for any length Of
time, yet it must be admitted that
results thus far show very powerful
men and means behind the move
ment.

does not seem to consider this as a
