Winners. stereotyped answer:—“My father did so." The American farmer. Major Alvord thought, has undoubtedly a much more intelligent knowledge of the principles of feeding, but there is probably more carelessness and waste in feeding ani mals of all kinds in America than any where else in the world. The most astonishing feature of Eu rope in the care of milk on the farm is the entire absence of refrigeration in France, and the general ignoring of the value of cold in dairying. In the matter of dairy appliances and equip ment, the United States is surpassed by no other country, although Den mark and parts of Great Britain stand about as well. In most big cities of Europe there are a few well-conducted milk delivery establishments, such as are usually found in our smallest cities, while in some localities dairy animals are driven through the streets and milked at customers' doors. Milch cows are managed in the same way even in the best streets of Paris and of Rome. Paris probably has the poorest milk service of any of the large cities. Dur ing the Exposition at Paris in July, 1900, a special show of perishable dairy products was held as an annex to that exposition. Paris Milk Exhibit Very Poor. While the French producers had every opportunity of exhibiting their goods In the best possible shape, the only samples of natural milk and cream, absolutely free from chemical preservatives and uncooked, which were sweet and palatable after noon of the exhibition day, were from the dairies In New York and New Jersev, then eighteen days from the cow! The American products had been preserved solely by cleanliness and cold.
