MILK FLAvORED BY cows FOOD

The department of agriculture re-
Gently reported the result Of expert
ments to test the effect of oats on
the flavor of milk. These experiments
showed that oats do not have the
beneficial effect on the flavor of milk
which many dalryman believe. But
as corn and bran constitute the ration
tested against oats, the public has
gained the impression, enormously,
that the department recommends the
feeding of corn ard bran to improV"
the flavor of milk. OF fifty opinions
EXPRESSED regarding the flavor of the
samples twenty-five preferred the
milk from cows fed corn and bran.
As sixteen preferred the milk from
cows fed oats and nine expressed no
choice, It does not appear that either
ration has any decided advantage
over the other.
There can be no great superiority
In the bran and corn when one-haif
of the opinions were either lndlHer-
ent or were in favor of the other milk.
In view of these experiments the de-
partment does not recommend the
feeding of bran and corn to improve
the flavor of milk. Oats, corn, alfalfa
hay, cottonseed meal, linseed meal,
bran, gluten and other good feeds for
dairy cows when properly fed in rea-
sonable amounts produce fine flaw
ored milk, but there is no substantial
evidence that any one of them is SUI
perior to any of the others in this
respect.
The relative prices of the different
feeds will determine in most cases
which are to be preferred In making
up a ration for dairy cows.

Many people who are building in
: the country have fancy especially
for the low, rambling type of houses
and here it is that the bungalow
comes in SO well. Everywhere through
this land the little dwellings, are
springing up like mushrooms in d
meadow.
The bungalow here illustrated
which is admirably adapted for a
variety of conditions, attracts atten-
ton at once by it's artistic exterior.
, The walls are of broad white boards,
laid horizontally at a distance of an
inch apart, the edges tapping over
understrips. There is a wide cement
.pergola porch extending across the
entire front of this house. The porch
foundations and round pergola
columns are rough stucco.
The brown shingle roof is broad
with very slight angle, and slopes
to the front and rear. 1t laps in wide
caves. supported by the jutting white
beams which are a prominent fea-
ture of this house. There are two
French windows opening onto the
veranda at either end, and heavily
framed white easement windows
throughout add to the attractive APP
pearance of the house. The floor plan
presented herewith is self-explana-
tory. 1t will be seen that there is
ample room for a small family ano
that everything is arranged for con-
Venience as we'll as comfort.

dottes, and new variety was
launched into the poultry world. At
first their growth was slow, but as
time went on and their good quail
ties became more generally known
they advanced in popularity by leaps
and bounds At nearly all the lead
ing shows white Wyandottes are
among the largest classes. This Is o
sure test of popularity.
In the White Wyandotte we have
a composite fowl made up of several
distinct breeds and inheriting the
good qualities of each. The question
may be asked rs the white va
riety better than the others?" l GER
tainly think II is, and l shall give
my reason. White Wyandottes are
bred In such large numbers that 1t
stands to reason they are making and
will continue to make more progress
along utility lines than the others. In
this connection l would just mention
the fact that in no Wyandotte is
shape so perfect as In the white va
rlety, In the laced varieties, lacing
is the great essential; in the penciled
varieties, pencillng is everything,
while with Buff Wyandottes, you hear
of nothing but the proper shade of
buff. With White Wyandottes, how
ever, we have "a steady progress along
both fancy and utility lines
If the White Wyandotte had the
most commonplace appearance 1t
would still be a strong faVorite on
account of its utility qualities, but
one of the strongest points of this
variety is its beauty. If bred right
and properly taken care of what more
beautiful fowl exists than the White
Wyandotte? 1t is a bird of graceful

as to render spraying and harvesting

careful to make the cut just above a
diyerging branch.
In pruning either large or small
branches from a tree always make a
smooth, close cut, slipping If possible,
where the top branches of trees are
removed. The larger wounds should
be painted with a thick lead and oil
paint-the painting to be repeated an
nually, if necessary, at the time of the
annual pruning of the trees. A tree
which has been topped or "dehorned"
to reduce Its height, win naturally
make an effort to maintain a balance
between the roots and top. A growth
OF water-sprouts will likely result,
and this result forms the basis of
more or less strenuous objection of
some horticultural authorities to head
ing down large bearing trees.
The growth of water-sprouts should
not prove objectional nor injurious

look out of place. / shall say very
little on this score, because anyone
who has seen White Wyandottes in
the showroom or a flock of them at
free range, will know how strictly
fancy" they are. I shall end by
enumerating what seems to me their
strongest points:
/. They excel as all-year layers, be-.
cause, with proper handling, they Will
lay about as well in winter as In
summer, making the total value OF
their eggs for the year very high.
g They are of the correct size and
compact build for the ideal market
fowl.
3. They are one of the most docile
of fowls, stand confinement well, but
IL given free range make splendid
foragers.
4. With some breeds a great many
die in the shell. being unable to
break through the tough membrane
just inside the shell. This is not
usual In the case with the White
Wyandottes. For large breed they
hatch we'll, large matches being the
rule.
5. They make splendid broilers. II
from vigorous stock the chicks grow
very rapidly, stand plenty of forcing,
the percentage of mortality being as
a rule very low. At two pounds they
make a very attractive broiler, with
yellow skin and legs and no dark
PIN feathers to spoil their appear
ance.
6. No breed is better suited to
cold climate than the White Wyan-
dotte. They have the rose comb and
are so loosely feathered that they
can stand a great amount of cold
and yet keep right on laying.
Z No more beautiful fowl existAs
This point must not be lost sight Of
as I am convinced that fully half the
people who begin breeding White
Wyandottes are led to do so by the
attractive appearance of the fowls.
8. For their size they are small
eaters and require very little more
per head than leghorps.
8. The hens make excellent sitters
and mothers, being not too large and
very gentle This is a necessary fea~
ture in a general purpose fowl. No
breed Is suited to the farmer that
does not hatch its own eggs. How
ever, ii must be borne in mind that
a large percentage of them never
offer to set. and If you desire they
can be easily broken up afterwards
putting them in another pen being
all that is necessary.

Manure water is more necessary
now than earlier in the season, as the
soil in the rose and carnation pots is
becoming depleted of plant-food. TWO
pailfuls of cow manure or one peck
of sheep manure will make strong
enough liquid. 1t can be given once
week. 1t is also good for potted plants.
Overwhelming of the pelargonium on
dark days must be carefully avoided,
and this is not an easy task, for the
plants are growing fast now and re-
quire considerable water. But too
much water and plant-lice are their
two worst enemies.

nerves is through the blood.
