HOUSING MICH COWS

One of the most important features
of an extremely interesting report
upon experiments conducted by the
Harper-Adams Agricultural college,
Newport, England, is an account of
an investigation extending over three
seasons in regard to the housing of
mich cows in autumn. Inasmuch as
it was the general practice in Eng
land and, indeed, in most other coun-
tries as well, to bring all milch cows
into the house at night about the
end of October, 1t occurred to the au-
thorities at the college that the merits
or demerits of this system might be
made the subject of an interesting and
useful inquiry.
Accordingly, in the autumn of 1907,
two lots of five cows each were Sc
lccted for the purposes of the test
From Nov. till Dec. I one lot was
kept in the shed all night, and re-
ceived about eight pounds of hay per
head in the racks, in place of the
grass they would have gathered had
they been turned out to the pastures
after the evening milking (as the 9TH
er five were). The milk yields of
each animal in the two lots were care

PACKING APPLES.

The art of packing apples in boxes
is not easily described in writing, but
must be learned by teaching and prac-
tice, says Prof. Surface of Pennsyl-
yania. The object is to adapt the
styles of arrangement of the apples
according to size so that the box is
filed, the fruit projecting slightly
above the top of the box at the end,
and about an inch in the middle. When
the ends are nailed the bulge in the
middle is distributed between the top
and bottom. The standard apple box
of the west is 10 1-2x11 l-2x1S inches;
the California special box, 10xl1x20
inches, all insie measurement. The
ends are made of boards three-quar-
tiers of an inch thick, the sides three
eighth of an inch, and the top and
bottom one-quarter of an inch. There
are cleats on the ends of the tops
and bottoms.
Styles in packing apples in boxes:
% Four layers of six rows of four
apples each, ninety-six apples in the
box. (2) Four layers of eight rows
of four apples each, 12S apples in the
box. (3) Five layers of seven rows
of five apples each, 175 apples in the
box. (4) Five layers of ten rows of
five apples each, $50 apples in the
box. (5) Three apples in the first
row, two in the second, and three and
two alternating to complete the tier.
The second tier begins with two ap-
pies in the first row, placed in the
intervals of the three of the bottom
row, three in the second, etc. The
third tier is like the first; 213 apples
in the box. (6) In this style of pack
ing three apples in each row alternate
with the adjoining row. Each tier al
ternates with the tier below, so that
the apples in the third tier are di-
rectly above those of the first, and
those of the fourth tier above the
second

Importance of national legislation at
the time the Canadian reciprocity
treaty was under discussion Now the
tariff issue has a much broader as
pect.
Each farmer will, it is assumed, set
tie for himself the question whether
he wants the tariff reduced, and if
SO, on what articles. 1t is time that
he should make sure of his position on
this matter, and having done so, com
municate his ideas to his congress
man and senator. Congress, it is to
be presumed, is going to do as nearly
as possible what the people wan. "

Il presume there are few sports
men. and certainly few dentists. who
have examined the teeth OF mountain
sheep The ordinary rural citizen
and all cattle barons will tell you that
the domestic sheep in grazing eats
down into the grass roots.
Mountain sheep do likewise. Liy-
ing. as they do, in regions where there
is likely to be some fine gold in the
soil. the older animals, as their teeth
become more or less decayed, accumu-
late this fine metal in the cavities uf
the teeth This is fact which has
escaped the notice Of sportsmen and
scientists. until this time. and is a
further verifcation OF John Burroughs
statement that most people go through
the world with wide-open eyes. yet
see nothing"
Mayor Thompson was the white
chief OF the seven tribes OF Utes that
lived in the west in the early days Of

dogs are good to eat, and this declara-
ton, published recently. caused

DEER MORE
PLENTIFUL
THIS YEAR

Col. James A. Shinn, state game and
fish commissioner, is authority for the
statement that there are more deer in
the hills OF Colorado at this time than
for twenty years. He says:
According to reports received at
the office of the game and fish depart
ment there has been a wonderful In
fiux OF deer. elk and other large game
from the state of Wyoming. The vast
herds of sheep that are roaming the
hills OF Wyoming have destroyed the
feed to such an extent that these ami
mails are forced to migrate TO the
green fields OF Colorado II is hard
to estimate how many OF these ami
mails have crossed the line during the
year. but il is reported that there arc
more deer in Rio Blanco. Routt and
Jackson counties than there have been
for the last twenty years.
"The department has been figuring
on trying to induce the legislature TO
appropriate a fund for the purpose OF
establishing a state park for the pro-
lection OF large game.
"on account OF the encroachment OF
the homesteader and dry farmer N
the east. II Is only a question Of time
until the antelope becomes extinct. un-
less we can establish a park for their
preservation.
at is estimated by experienced war;
dens and foresters who ride these
ranges every day that there are as
many mountain sheep in the noun
talns as there are deer. and In all
probability there will be a short open
season sanctioned by the next session
o. the Legislature"
