Use of Preservatives.
The committee of the British laical
Governmeui Board has been for two
years investigating the subject of pre
servatives and coloring matter in
foods, and their report does not indi
cate the danger from their use that
had been feared by th“ alarmists. They
name as these preservatives four
classes, borax or boric acid and its
compounds, sulphurous acid and sul
phites, salicylic acid or its soda salt,
which Is more soluble, and formaline
or formaldehyde (made from wood al
cohol). Of these the last Is the only
one in which they could find any proof
of Injury caused by their use. Yet as
milk that is clean and properly cared
for needs no preservatives, they would
run no risks in an article of food so
largely consumed by young children
and recommend that the additiou of
preservatives or coloring matter to
milk offered for sale In the United
Kingdom shall be an offense under the
“sale of food and drugs” act. They
would have the use of formaldehyde
and its preparations absolutely prohib
ited, and that salicylic acid should not
be used to over the amount of one
grain In a pint or pound of food. There
is no evidence that it is hurtful In
this small quantity.

FEEDING BOX.
the narrow opening of the front board.
The box Is supported on a low. table
like structure with a narrow cleat
around the edge, to prevent the food
from falling to the ground. A cover
should be attached so that the fowls or
sheep can not get at the contents of
the box from the top.
Comfort for Swine.
A model sleeping room for swine may
lie cheaply constructed by using heavy
lumber and covering It with tarred
paper. The house should he set up from
the ground the height of a brick laid
fiat at each corner and the space be
tween the corners tilled In with boards
to keep out the wind. The floor should
be of plank or cement, and there should
be some division between the portion
where the animals are to sleep and the
clear space in the house. This division
need be nothing more than an eight
inch plank set on edge. Plenty of straw
should be used for bedding, and when
It Is broken up so that It Is too tine for
this purpose It may be scattered over
the floor in the clear portion of the
bouse.
Make the Cow Comfortable.
A cow Is a great deal like a person.
She enjoys a good and comfortable
place to eat and sleep as well as any
man. Do you think that you would en
joy standing out on the south side of a
barlH-d wire fence to eat your meals
when the wind is blowing at the rate
of forty or fifty miles an hour from the
northwest in the winter? No, I guess
not; Can you expect a cow to make
you money when served In that way?
Then, summing up all of this, the cow
must lie at perfect ease and comfort
ably situated and have kind treatment
in order to give good results.
How
Much Grain.
The amount of grain fed should vary
with the Individuality of the cows, says
Prof. D. fl Otis. A cow giving thirty-
five to forty pounds of milk dally will
need from twelve to fifteen pounds per
day, while a cow giving fifteen to
twenty pounds of milk will probably
not need over six to eight pounds of
grain. The amount of grain should
vary with the yield of milk. Give the
cows all the grain they will consume at
a profit
