A correspondent of The National
Htockuian and Farmer says that if alt
butter put on the market were brand
ed the quality In' a very short time
would bo Improved, aa each brand
would then stand on the merits of ths
product It represents. Ho long aa good
butter must be sold at an average
price, ao as to pay the groceryman l
handle Inferior grades, making th
protlts on the best gradea bear bins
out, there la no Incentive for the but
ter maker to Improve ber quality of
butter. I use the pronoun advisedly,
for the great bulk of butter la yet mad
by the farmers' wives. The person
who makes really good article need
not fear detriment to bis trade to
offer bis product for sale under a pri
vate brand.
One butter maker who packed a good
quality of butter In flrklns waa allow
ed by ber markotman 1 cent extra on
the pound for simply writing tbe fami
ly Initial In blue on the lid of each
firkin. Tbe customers soon learned
tbe handwriting and knew It represent
ed a good quality of butter. Another
woman molds ber butter Into pound
blocks and la allowed by the market
man 2 ccnta extra per pounds Bhe
uses a homemade butter mold, a rec
tangular box, which ninUes the block
B 'Inches loug, S Inches wide and
2 Incbea deep, containing SO cubic
Inches. The mold has a loose bottom,
on which Is carved an unassuming
fern leaf, but which on careful scruti
ny Is the family Initial There la a
plain band one-half Inch wide around
the outside of this lottoni piece. This
Is lowered to the depth of a quarter
inch. The fern leaf Is lowered scarcely
a quarter Inch.' When tbe block of

servea as a protector for the fern leaf
when It becomes necessary to pile one
block on top of the other.
SHRINKAGE IN SUMMER.

The shrinkage of milk In summer,
says Hoard's Dairyman, Is an Impor
tant question. In Uie hot, dry weather of
July and August not ouly do the cows
decrease greatly In their flow of milk,
but nlso tbe quullty of milk decreases
that to say. It takes more pounds of
milk to make a pound of butter or
rhcese. C. I Fitch, superintendent of
the Hourd creameries, furnishes the
following data on this subject: "I And
on referring to our daily reports dur
ing August, IS:)1.), that, for instance,
our Koshkoio!ig creamery dropicd In

spite of nil the skill uiid care the but
ter maker could put forth. Our losses

ways larger In the but weather of sum

All tills shrinkage lu yield of both
milk and Inn I it fat, also the loss In
skimming mid churning in such wentb
er, cau be aliiuml Hlm'ly remedied If
the fsrni : will put tip summer sflos
aud as soon as t hi1
lirst show of shrink- j
age of milk apis-ars open the silo and
feed the cows about 1.1 pound night
and morning. This Is a cheaper and
lM-tter way to furnish the cows with a
rich. Juicy food than to rut ami carry
grocn forage to them.
Another way to liclp the mutter is to
hare the cow calve In riitcmlicr and
go dry lu July ninl Auj:iit. In this
rase also the summer silo 'helps great
ly, giving the fresh rows, a good start
with Just the fmwl they nevd to enlarge

It la a curious thing bow slow and re

themselves of the splendl'd advantage
of the alio for both winter and summer

Tbo dairy cow of tbe present is
very artilklal auliual, say J. 8. Wood
ward In The National htockiuan. Ad
aiu'a cow gave milk only about four
mouth lu a year aud then went dry
and got fat. The further the dairy
cow ba varied from the original the
more persistent she U as a uiilkcand
tbe less Ukeiy to gl't ot. uui lu oreeo
log one tendency In w breed another
eut, ao doubtless the coutluuoua lullke
la less bardy and able to "rustle" for
herself tban was Adam's cow. Ho If
we would milk ber wltb no let up abe
must be properly cared for and fed.
There is uot tbe least doubt that
cow can be ao fed as to stimulate milk
production to such an extent tbat abe
will become very poor and even rob
ber prospective offspring. Ou tbe con
trary, she can be fed so as to become
far too fat aid still cause a decrease In
tbe milk yield. Kltber of these would
cot be conducive to tbo health of the
cow. Neither Is it healthy for a thin
skinned, thin haired, nervous cow,
wltb scarcely a pound of fat on ber
whole carcass, to stand out in the
snow, shivering on the lee side of
barbed wire fence.
When properly housed, fed and wa
tered, the milk How la a aafe Indicator
of what is best for the cow's health
and that of her offspring. If the cow
la a (KTnlstent milker, she cannot be
dried up without having those foods
w hich make milk withheld and others
substituted. This, of course, causes
change In the habit of the cow and dl
geatlon of ber food and In my experi
ence and observation always Injures
the cow. Itetter by far feed tbe cow
plenty of those elements needed for
ndlk production along with those hav-

The theory that bovine tuberculosis
1 communicable to human beings
through the consumption of dairy
products has been rapped lately from
many quarters, says the New lork
Post. Dr. Theobald Smith of Harvard
university, who haa been making ex
periments In this matter for several
years, declares that certain differences
exist between bovlna and human tu
bercle bacilli, and that thus far be bas
not found tbe bacilli Identical In any
Instance. He waa one of the authori
ties consulted by tbe special Invest!
gating committee of the New York as
sembly on bovine tuberculosis, whose
report. It will be remembered, took the
back track In rehttlon to tbe tuberculin
test by recommending that hereafter
the atute "only force tbe coudemna
tlon, quarantine and sluugbter of such
aniuiuls as are found to be tuberculous
by physical examination," leaving the
choice as to the use of tuberculiu wltb
thu dalryniun. "Evidence taken by tbe
committee," to use further worda of
the report, "would Indicate tbat very
rarely, If ever, does a person contract
tuberculosis from meat or milk of aul
mala," aud this led naturally to tbo
conclusion that "tbe state can better
use its funds along the Hues of educa
tional work, rather than following the
present policy of destroying all ani
mals sbowlug a reaction under tbe tu
berculln test." It was pointed out to
tbe committee by a veterinary surgeon
that where cattle tuberculosis Is pleutl
ful human tuberculosis Is so rare as to
have no relation to It.
Fraaala Ia Batter.
Every pound of oleomargarine, or
paratllued butter, or new process but
ter, or renovated butter, or of any otb
er nonbutter klud of alleged butter
old and eaten displaces a pound of
real butter, aaya the New York Farm
er. Not only does It displace real but
ter, but It also breaks down the price
of the real butter. In this direct, pos
itive way the fraud grease butters In
flict a double Injury upon the farmers.
Tbe fraud greases swell tbe visible
supply, while the demand Is a fixed
factor. Tbe tenth pound appearing In
supply when tbe demand Is for nine
pounds will compel practically tbe sell
lug of the entire ten pounds fur the
value of the nine pounda It la tbe
double effect of these nauseous, danger
ous, unwholesome, Indigestible frauds
that abould appeal to the farmers and
cause them to unite In demanding ex
treme severity in laws to puulsh the
adulterators and imitators. Let no
false sentiment lead the farmers to look
wltb leniency upon these frauds. Bo
gus foods are a curse to the community
In every way In health, In money, In
morals, In business. Down with the
frauds, tbe humbugs and the poison
era! Tbe chicken thief, the forger, the
perjurer, tbe embezzler and the high
wayman are bad, but they are angela
of light and models of honesty and
philanthropy In comparison with the
detuonr wbo make an Insidious attack
upon the community with the weapon
of poisoned foods of all sorts.
An la Cows.
Milk cattle, receiving Indifferent
rare, age a great deal more rapidly
than others, says George K. Newell In
Tbe American Cultivator. A cow's
age, as regards milk yielding value,
should be measured not so much by
years as by rare and feed. A naturally
good cow. If she has had rough usage,
wlU be played out In a lacteal sense
when she Is 8 or 0 years old. But if
she has bad a fair showing from her
owner In tbe pasture and stable, she
should remain a profitable milker for
12 years, and sometimes longer.

The chief reason why the question
of coloring butter artificially Is being
so much discussed Is the adveut of
margarine as a competitor of butter.
says a corresisindcnt of the Iondon
' Live Stock Journal. Margarine, as
ninny of us are fain to believe, would
stund a poor enough chance In the
market against butter If It were 'not
colored In Imitation of butter, and It
Is this fraudulent polut In margarine
that has mode people critical as to the
moral right or wrong of coloring pule
butter to make It look rich. Uranted

desist from using rolor'ng matter
while butter makers arc allowed to use
It as freely as they like? This. Indeed,
seems to be tbe rrux of the whole
thing, so far aslval disputants are
concerned. The problem might 1st final
ly solved perhaps by prohibiting both
j parties from using such artificial color,
but what would tbe dairymaids say to
that? Tbat tbe margarine people bare
no moral rlgkt or claim to use It may
be taken as clear enough, but, then,
what about the right or tbe butter
maker ? There can be but little doubt
, tbat parliament would far more easily
see IU way to prohibiting the ie of
artificial color In margarlue If only
tbe oae of It In butter did not stand Id
tbe way.

For several years past tbe diminu

Journal, doubtlesa on account of thefr
hardihood aa well as their adaptability
to thrive and yield a large profit on
land tbat la unsuitable to the larger
breeds of stock, aud also from tbe fact
pretty generally admitted tbat more

given quantity of food by these cattle
than by any other breed, and tbe qual

Is of the beat.

shown themselves capable of very
hlgb records, and at the recent London
dairy show, where everything was car
ried out on the most exact practical
lines, scarcely any breed gave so good
results aa the' Dexters, and doubtlesa,
had food been taken Into consideration,
tbey would have stood higher on the
list. The Dexter, It must be borne In
mind. Is native of a district very storm'

has so arranged that their coats shall
be rather later In coming off than those
of cattle bred In warmer parts. Black
Knight Is an excellent example of the
Dexter breed.

A Canadian correspondent of Hoard'
Dairyman says: Tbe dairyman must In
tbe future grow bay cropa as rich as
possible In protein to combine with
bis cheapest of all feeds, corn ensilage
and fodder, prominent among which
are alfalfa, covciih. the clovers, Can
ada field peas, peas and oats, etc, ac
cording to climatic and soil conditions.
Without any of the above class of feed
on band. It may safely be allowed that
ten pounds of mixed grain must lie fed
to keep up the milk flow of a cow
while on a full ration. With them this
part of the ration, and the moot ex
pensive part, too, can be reduced about
one-balf, and at tbe same time more
crushed corn can safely be fed, that
can be home grown and a well known
milk producer when properly combin
ed.
For years we have mixed from one-
third to one-balf of cowpcas wltb the
corn In the silos with excellent results.
but this Is only a step In tbe desired
direction. Timothy bas been such
cheap, sure and heavy yielding crop
In the bottom binds that it baa hitherto
been the main hay crop. I-ast fall saw
some of this plowed up and alfalfa
seeded lu Its place. Tbe field has been
solid mass of green all tbe winter,
after making nearly a foot of growth
last fall and more than twice this in
depth of root. If It fulfills Its promises
this year, there will be a large area
sown In tbe fall, which Is, from all
accounts, the best time to seed. We
are also doubling the area of cowpeas
and Canada peaa and oats, both cer
tain crops for this section, and shall
give soja beans a good test on two of
the farms.
Mew Dairy Methods.
The man who thinks dairying Is now
what It used to be la likely to be badly
shocked, says Rural New Yorker. We
spoke some time since of the quick de
livery of a cream order. Here Is the
programme on a Connecticut dairy
farm: The cows are milked from 4:30
to 0 p. m., and some hot nights last
summer, right after milking, tbe milk
was run through tbe separator and the
cream run Into a can packed In salt
and Ice to cool It thoroughly. It waa
then Immediately made Into Ice cream
and by 7:30 waa being sold at 10 cents
per dish and 40 cents per quart. Less
than two hours from tbe cowl Tbe
butter is churned every morning at
about 0 a. m. and the buttermilk taken
fresh on the cart and frequently reach
es tbe consumer within 10 mlnutea of
the churn. The butter Is salted In tbe
churn, printed after breakfast and by
0 or 10 a. to. Is In the bands of tbe con
sumer. Tbe cream of tonight and to
morrow la set to ripen tbe same day at
11am. and churned tbe next morning.
so tbe butter Is made from milk only
24 to 30 hours old. Some mornings,
when milk la scarce, tbe skimmllk has
been taken on the cart Immediately
from the separator and within 30 mln
utea of the cow delivered to customers.
Clare Har Milk Tews.
A well known writer on dairy sub
jects says that clover bay Is not a
good diet for milk cows. It bas really
little usefulness for the dairyman. It
would pay him better If It was all
turned under tbe soli to enrich It Next
to this tbe feeding of damaged grain Is
the most fruitful cause of bad body In
winter. Some farmers buy up damag
ed grain because If la cheap, but they
cannot afford to feed It to dairy cow.
n nine cases out of ten It will so Injure
the butter thit It will prove very cost
ly In the end.

II. M. Brandt, onu of the leading
creamery men of Kansas, said to the
state board of agriculture tbe other
day: There la not a farmer lu Kansas
or elsewhere, If he knew what could
be done with a good cow, but wbo
would be a dairyman. There Is not a
more honorable way of making a com
fortable living. Hbow me a farmer
who baa Insisted on raising grain for
tbe last alx or seven years exclusively,
keeping very little dairy stock, if any,
who has made any money and kept hit
grocery bills and Incidental expenses
ald up without going In debt and I
will show you two wbo with 10 or IS
cows bave, aside from raising a wheat
crop, raised enough of corn, oata and
other feed crops and fed them to tbe
cows that paid off mortgages on their
homes, paid living expenses on half
the acreage, were happy and had mon
ey In the bank. We bave the disagree
able tbluga to contend wltb, we admit.
In Kansas as well as elsewhere, but I
have yet to see the day or month but
that there was plenty of food that
woulii make milk. What we need Is
men that will persist In learning the
most profitable way to farm, and we
will toon see the cow In her proper
place. Jio man has a right to call hlut-
elf a farmer unless be la a worker, a
manager, a financier, a ouslnesa man.
and. lat but not least, be must be a
lover of cows If be would succeed.
SHEEP FEEDING RACK.
A DotIm With mmmtm raataraa Thai

Borne of the ordiuary fetxjlng racks
for sheep lutve various faults. The
sheep run tuelr heads and neck clear
Into tbe fodder, which causes chaff
and the like-to lodge In the wool of
their beads and necks. Then tbe feed
ing sheep are apt to crowd each other,
which la a serious objection, particu
larly with horned sheep, and much
harm may result Sometimes sheep get
Into the habit of Jumping Into tbe
racks; lambs nearly always do so lie
en tbe hay and befoul It, These and
ether drawbacks brought out the rack
here described by a Farm and Fire
side correspondent:
The rack Is a box 16 feet long and IS
Inches high, similar In construction to
tbe old feeding rack, except that the
aides and ends are tight, for the sheep
are expected to feed from tbe top in
stead of from tbe sides.
Tbe Interesting part of tbe rack la Its
cover, which ta constructed in tne fol
lowing manner: Lay a alx Inch fence
board lengthwise centrally upon the
rack, having It rest on the ends of
same. Crosswise to this nail on short
pieces of beard six Incbea wide and
Just long enough to rest on tbe sides
without projecting. Space these board
18 Inches from center to center, which
will be about right for average sheep.
They should also be tapered down to
2',-s Inches at each end, and be sure not
to bave any sharp or ragged edges
about them, nor anywhere else about
the rack; bave everything smooth. It
will take 11 crosaplecea for a 10 foot
rack, and such a one will accommodate
24 sheep.
This cover, as so far described. Is to
be hinged to the rack by- means of
three T hinges, so it may be easily rals-

piece of small rope orclotbesllue is to lie

cover Just opposite the hinge. This Is
ruu over a little pulley fastened to a
Joist above. A snap or book abould be
fastened to the other end of the rope
and a small ring tied Into the rope at
tbo proper place, so tbe cover may be
secured In an upright position when
