Pennsyl vania Live Stock Rreedcrs' association I. P. Bailey, president of the Ohio Dairy union, said: Discouraging as the conditions I have portrayed seem, yet I see much in the future to encourage the intelligent dai ryman. Tills competition has caused those continuing In the business to put more thought into the work. Dairy schools now exist in many states, do ing a grand work, teadhlng better methods in the manufacture and care of dairy products, feeding and care of dairy stock. The agitation of the Grout bill last winter was a campaign of ed ucation, enlightening the public In the practices of the oleomargarine dealers. Whether the bill passes this congress or not the results will be beneficial to the dairy interest. Those best inform ed think the bill will pass. The future dairy farmer must make his products so wholesome, quality and conditions so attractive, as to defy competition ' with any Imitation. The Imitation can not equal the perfect genuine article. 1 The consumption of milk and cream ' Is rapidly increasing in our cities. drawing supplies irom large suctions heretofore producing butter and cheese. Good quality means good prices. The best menus the greatest success. It Is the privilege and duty of dairymen to demand of our legislative bodies ade quate laws that will protect our just rights, but our Jlrst duty Is to make every effort thait care, science and skill can do to improve our products and place them oh" the markets in an at tractive form. Then they will com mand remunerative prices, assuring larger profits than most other agricul tural Interests. A Clinked Cow. Last fall one of our cows was found to have become choked on an apple, relates .7. F. Cass in Prairie Farmer. Wo at once procured a piece of rubber hose of the right size and after pouring down half a pint of oil Inserted the1 hose in the animal's mouth and at tempted to force the obstruction down. But, as we expected, the hose was worthless for the purpose, as It would double up, not having sufficient stiff ness. By chance we thought of using ; a common buggy whip for the purpose, j and with this well smeared with soft ' grease we succeeded In a few seconds in pushing the obstruction down, and the C9W yas relieved at once. No instru ment, we think, could be designed that would be as well adapted to the pur pose as an ordinary buggy whip, with rawhide center. It is just the right size and shape, being pliable and with no danger of breaking it off in the strug gling of the animal to relieve Itself from choking. The Bent MllkliiK .Much Inc. Miss Ebba R. Hallborn, a charming young Kandiyohi girl living near Will mar, Minn., recently won a prize of $10 or"rttl to the young woman who could prove she had milked the greatest num ber of cows from Jan. 1 to Oct. 1, 1901, Miss Hnllborn milked lO.UGO cows within the period named, an average of nineteen cows twice a day. She Is but sixteen years old. What need of milk ing machines when Minnesota's daugh ters can make such a record as this? New York Produce Review. The Dairy In Sonth Dnliotn. The growth of the dairy industry in South Dakota for the last decade Is one of the agricultural marvels of this country. Some Idea of its extent may be gained from the fact that in the month of August last the creameries of that state took 0,532,002 pounds of milk from 5,020 farmers, for which they paid 110,1-10.41. Tnlnc of Guernseys. In my opinion, the best plan for the. man who wishes to raise larger butter cows from grade Jerseys Is to get a "business" Guernsoy bull, sayB a corre spondent in Rural New Yorker. Die will get more size than the pure breds of either breed. A Guernsey male used on high grade Jersey cows seems to get better average results in producers than Is obtained with pure breds of either breed. This is contrary to tin best accepted theory, I know, and does not apply to all cross breeding, but the facts of extended observation and ex perience with both breeds have chang ed a strongly preconceived bias against mixed breeding with grades. A good Jersey-Guernsey grade is today the best dairy cow for the ordinary farmer, and I believe the further crossing will , be just ut Huccessful If .continued in one direction,' but promiscuous mixing Is hardly desirable. With a good reg istered herd of either breed permit no crossing, but with n herd of high grade Jerseys I am sure the olzo and nlso tho dairy qualities can be improved by the use of n Guernsey hull of high dairy qualities. In your selection bowuro of leefy tendencies. Slberln'M Dairy Industry, Siberia lias long been sending butter to England, but tho opening of the Trnnsslberlun railway hns made it a far more formidable competitor than It formerly was. Last year tho im ports of Siberian butter wero valued at t,-100,000, and this year It is estimated that they will rench the value of 2, J 300,0.00. The supply of butter which i Siberia can furnish is said to be prac tlrmllv iiiilltnltpil. mill it in nnsslbln flint ; Hie opening of Siberia may affect the lairy industry of these countries as Jlsastrously as the opening up of Amer ica affected the wheat growing indus try. It is also expected that Siberia will shortly Hood the English market with poultry, game and meat. Cleve land Plain Dealer. IN A MODEL DAIRY. Coollnnr find IloHIIiirc Ilooni of the Fulrncld Dnlrj- Fnrni. In Dairy and Creamery Nelson W. McLaln gives an Interesting account of the big Fairfield dairy farm at Mont clalri -N. J. The article Is profusely il lustrated. The illustration herewith reproduced shows the room in which the milk Is cooled and bottled. As soon as the milk is drawn it is taken to the nilikroom and strained into large bright milk cans, and the full cans, four In a group, are carried by an endless overhead wire cable tc the dairy building, which Is located on' slightly lower ground about fifty rods j distant from the barns. There the; milk is delivered iu the second story, ' COOLING MILK AJD .FILLING THE BOTTLES whore it is emptied1 into a three com partment strainer containing three felt strainers. From the strainers the milk runs over a huge star cooler and aera tor in a large tile walled and Moored sterilized mi I broom on the first floor. From the cooler the milk runs into the bottling tank and Is bottled hi sterll Ized bottles, sealed and put in crates, twelve quart bottles in each crate, and the space between the bottles filled with chipped ice and salt, then loaded on large three horse trucks for deliv ery at the railway station or at the distributing depots. LLLL The cost of growing corn, cutting It and putting it in the silo has been vari ously reported at olmost all figures from 1 to $3 per ton, says American Cultivator. We do not doubt but that It has been done for the smaller sum when the land has been made rich and well cultivated and the most modern Improvements were at hand to do the work, but we think n fall' average would bo nearer double that with the ordinary farmer even In a favorable season. But there nre not many who would like to grow roots for feeding to stock at that price. Certainly we know of none who would grow them to sell nt that price, and few would care to grow them at $4 per ton If they could grow other crops and find a ready cash market for them. As regards the value of them, an average of the various roots shows that the same amount of each fed with equal rations of hay and grain resulted n little In favor of the roots, but this was more than offset by the two facts that tho roots cannot be kept in as good condition for late spring or summer feeding as can the ensilage and that there Is more apt .to be a crop failure from drought or other causes with the roots than with the corn. The droughts of the two past years have led many to believe that having ensilage to feed in the summer, -when pastures nro growing poorer, is of almost as much Importance, and some say more, than having it in the winter. The Three Sllott. What is the best style of silo is still a mooted question. The round stave silo has been very popular for several years largely because It Is the cheapest form of silo that can be erected. When properly built and properly taken care of, It also seems to be fairly durable. Next In favor is the square or rectan gular silo, with cut off corners. This makes an excellent silo. The remain ing stylo is the round silo built wholly of stone and brick or with part stoiie and brick and above that a wooden structure with studding sot In the wall and covered outside and inside with thin boards that will bond to a circle, with best quality of building paper be tween the boards. It goes without say ing that a silo built of stone or brick or a combination of stone and brick will be more durahlo than any structuro built of wood nnd in some pluces per haps not more expensive.

President McKinley used to tell with a good deal of amusement a story wh'eh related to his early days in the law. On the way to and "from his office lie was accustomed to pass a butcher's shop and for n long time "was puzzled by a certain notice which he saw there. In the morning lie would, read, "Good pork sausages, 20 cents." On his re turn In the evening he would some times find those sausages still 20 cents n pound, but more often the notice was changed, and the sign rend, "Fine pork sausages, 12" or sometimes 10 "cents." The mntter, he said, used to worry him. Sausages were not of so perish able a nature that they would not keep till the next day. and he could not un derstand it. So one evening he stop ped at the shop, made some casual re mark and then inquired the price of sa usages. "Ten cents," snid the shopkeeper. "But." replied Mr. McKinley. "they wero 20 cents this morning." "So they were, Mr. McKinley," re plied the butcher, "so they were. Then I had 'em; now 1 haven't. Sausages at 10 cents Is simply to get me a reputa tion for cheapness. See?" The future president muv and was Jn the habit of saying that a great many reputations were made in thnt-way. Doesn't I, Ike .CowpenN. A dairy farmer In Carlisle, Pa., with 200 cows does not like cowpeas for food for his herd, lie sowed two acres, and the yield was. good, but the cows refused to eat them. Ho thinks they might do for southern cows thnt can not got a square meal without taking n mountain walk of a mile or more. He cannot understand how well fed cows can be induced to eat them. But there ore farmers who claim that both cows and horses cat them greedily and seem to prefer them to other food, says the American Cultivator. But, as all do not, and It seems to be an acquired taste, and as they are as difficult to cure as hay, we see no reason for urging a trial of them on northern farmers or thone who can grow clover, widely seems to suit the appetite of all our' animals and. which produces nearly ii not quite as much food per nere as tho cowpea and as much milk per tou of dry or green food as any crop grown. The Massachusetts experiment station hns spent much time and some money In testing various fodder crops, but we think it has not yet found any bet ter than the conibTnation of corn fod der and clover, which seems to grow in almost any fertile soil to furnish food thnt all animals like nnd thrive on, whether green or dry cured, and thnt leave the land in as good if not better condition for future crops as my crops that have been tried.
