The Influence of Feed.
Linseed meal bus a tendency to make
a sqft butter, provided the meal Is fed
In large amounts. If fed In only me
dium amounts, the butter fats are nor
mal. It Is a valuable mllk-stlmulatlng
food and can be rsed to prevent the
formation of excessively hard fats In
winter. The only disadvantage to the
general use Is the price. Half or three
quarters of a pound of linseed or oil
meal In a ration per day will exert h
very favorable Influence upon the quail
y of the butter.
Corn meal, when fed In large
amounts with coarse fodders, has o
tendency to produce a firm butter.
When mixed with other grains, a bet
ter quality of butter Is produced than
If the corn were fed alone. Gluten
meal, a by-product obtained In the
manufacture of corn starch and glu
cose, produces a softer butter than corn
meal. The gluten. It Is to be observed,
contains more of the vital nutrient,
protein. Professor Harry Snyder, Unl
U'lsily of Miiiiirauiu.
Odd In We-ither Forepfinllnsr.
People have learned by experience to
make allowance for error In the pre
dictions of the Weather Bureau.- but
Prof. Schuster thinks that the allow
ances should be olllclally stated. As
tronomers, It appears, are In the hnbit
of giving the value of the "probable
error" when publishing their observa
tions. But, although meteorology lends
Itself more, readily than any other
science to the evolution of deviations
from the mean result, the weather fore
casters have not adopted the custom
of stating the probable error. Prof.
Schuster looks forward to the time
when weather forecasts will be accom
panied by a statement of the odds that
the prediction will be fulfilled. Then,
I
perhaps, we slinll read in the weather
column not simply, "rain to-morrow,"
but "3 to 1" or "0 to 1 for rain to-morrow."

Keeping Gate from Sngrsrtna;.
Most farm gates are heavy, and af

and bolt it to the front end of the gate

ItoMiix Killed for Food In the Sooth.
A million robins were killed In Louis
lana during the winter of 1907-8, the
offenders being men and boys who shot
them for food. While they are pro
totted bb song birds In Northern States,
It Is a common Southern practice to
shoot then for the table, and In some
States the hunters kill them in great
numbers at tbelr roosting plnces.
government expert suggests that th
eastward movement of the boll weevil
has been facilitated by the killing of
the robins. If Hint Is shown to be so.

In. Revue ITnlverselle, according to
another foreign contemporary, there Ib
a practical article of general Interest
on transplanting plants In full' foliage
at night The result" of some experl
mcnta by Rounult would make uniieces
sary the customary transplanting of do
clduous trees In the fall or winter. He
hns found that trees may be trans
planted In full follnge In May or June,
with little or no Injury, providing the
process is carried on at night. This
baa been demonstrated to the cntlr
satisfaction of some of the most prom
inent horticulturists of France.
Brewer? Clock Feed,
Dried brewers' grains rank close to
bran In feeding value, containing
little more protein and fnt, but not
quite so much carbohydrates. It Is
claimed that In 100 pounds of this feed
there are 10.7 pounds of protein, 30.
pounds of carbohydrates and 5.1 pounds
-of fat Malt sprouts and dried brew
ere' grains are valuable cow feeds, es
pecially the latter. Sprouts are rich
est In protein1, but not much relished
by cows and should be fed only In lim
ited quantities. Wet brewers' grains
re apt to injure the quality of the

Population and Food.
The statistician in the Department

timates that In 1931 the population of
the country will be 130,000,000. To sup
ply the requirements of this number of
people will necessitate the production
700,000.000 bushels of wheat, 1,250,-
000,0(10 bushels of oats, 3,450,000.000

Inxect with Springboard Nose.
Among the curious Insects of the
Malay Peninsula Is one called the Inn-
tern fly, which Is remarkable for Its
sudden leaps, made without the aid of
Its wings. It was only after the first
specimens of this queer Insect were
carried to London for examination, that
It was discovered that a curious projec
tion on the front of Its head, a kind
of nose with a crease in It, was the
leaping organ. When bent back under
the abdomen and suddenly released it
sent the Insect flying.
A Good Whitewash.
Here Is a well recommended white
wash : For 10 gallons use 25 pounds of
common lime slaked with boiling water;
pounds of clean wood ashes ; 10
pounds of melted beef tallow; 2
pounds of common salt and one-half
pound of glue, dissolved. Add any dry
mineral paint to color, such as burnt
umber, yellow ochre or mineral red.
Mix all while hot and appply while
warm; keeping it well stirred.
The Sheep Pen.
As a rule there is very little mois
ture In the sheep pen from the ani
mals themselves. Sheepmen say that
by heavy bedding, particularly at the
beginning of the season, the straw will
absorb all the urine from the sheep
without there being any softness or
rotting of the straw, and the pens are
often not cleaned more than once In a
season without Injury to the stock.

that they are excellent fertilizers, their
