THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND HORTICUTURE \u201c\u201c Dear Mr.Hutchison : \u2014As judge of butter at the Exhibition I have pleasure in testifying to the high standard of quality found in the exhibits this vear.One thing is particularly noticeable, and that is the marked improvement in the stvle and finish of the butter as compared with a tew years ago.The finish and general appearance of the export creamery butter in the present comnetition leaves little to be desired, except that in some cases the boxes arc not as strong neatly made as thev might be, and some nf the parchment parer used is too licht in weight.\u201cIf T am permitted to make a suggestion as one interested in this, the mest important branch of agriculture in Canada, I would say that I think the dairv department of vour exhibition might be made a more attractive feature tf a special verv nor as much building could be erccted for it.with facilities for conducting competitions and demonstrations in butter-making.Such a building should have a cement floor, which would help to keep it cool in hot weather, and there should also be an amphitheater large enough to seat at least 500 people with the necessary space for but- ter-making in the center.Such work would be both instructive and entertaining, and the scats would provide a comfortable resting place for weary sight-scers.\u2018\u201c\u201c A properly constructed dairy building would be a valuable object lesson to the cheese and butter manufacturers of this part of Canada, and there is not the slightest douht but that 1t would prove to be a bery attractive addition to the many excellent features of your splendid exhibition.I am, vours faithfully, J.A.RUDDICK, chief of dairy division.\" PROVINCIAL COMPETITION OF DAIRY-PRODUCTS, HELD

DIET.Fd.Hoard\u2019s Dairyman : \u2014VYour article, page 707, reached my table not very long after a report fronf a voung domestic science student.In this report werc several bills of fare containing \u2018\u2018Fondn\u2019\u2019 as one article and that, the principal source of albuminoids for the meal.Naturally the cheese article arrested attention.It would seem from the statement that '\u2018one may buy cheese sandwiches in Great Britain as readily as those made with meat,\u201d as though cheese sandwiches could not be purchased readily in America.If vour readers wish to test this, let them make a fair trial in anv citv, or country town of any size, aud thev will probablv find that cheese sandwiches can be {ound or made almost any where.Crackers and cheese lunches were commen and popular with our grand parents The checse supply is apt to be nearly exhausted in spring, and new checse is put on the market at a lower price than old cheese commands, in order to realize quick- lv on it.New cheese, or at least only partially cured cheese, 1s too frequently put on the market here in Awmserica, and the sale is Injured from the fact chat in this form it 1s less digestible than after it is properly cured.If onlv well cured, and thercfore casily digestible cheese were exposed [or sale it 1s probable the consumption of cheese would greatly increase.When chicese finds 11s wav into our tables 11 au state-to welt in the month\" wiih proper masticition, it is easily digestible and cheaper than meat in most localities.This 1s well understood bv a great many Aniericans who have not studied the sub- jet in Furope.and atinest all our checse- makers know the facts.The error is made na business wav ia order to realize early on the product.and we believe the cheese maker is not the man who is resnonsibic tor the too carlv removal of the cheese fram the cuving room.We have never met a cheese-tnaker who would not rather keep the clicese on the shelves until carly cured.when he knows at will be much better received than when sent out carlier.ee rot mrt mt, - gre meee In America we know some things that ,Juropeans do not seem to have ever had opportunities to pick up.They are only beginning to learn of the valu¢ of American apples and as vet know nothing of the virtues ol apple dumplings and apple or mince pies.Over here, however, these articles have been cverv dav affairs and, uncounsciously, perhaps, with regard to the scientific balancing of the ration, cheese began to be taken along with the pie.With the light that is now being shed on diet from the scientific centers it would seem that this is a step in the right diree- tion, toward the balanced ration, even 1t taken in small quantities.Perchance the cater has at the meal taken mcat or eggs cnough to supply his quota of nitrogenous food when a larger portion would be wasted or worse.As vet too few people consider these points.However, the point made, and which we would reinforce is that more cheese could be used with less meat and less expense would be incurred since cheese is so rich in albuminoids.The writer once planned to make @ bulletin on this subject and as «a Leginning proposed 1o use cheese in his own familv and to write from pratical experience as well as from other points of consideration.Skim milk cheese was sought for cook- cd articles because richer in protein and cheaper bat it could not be found readilv.Tiuperfeetlv cured cheese was cooked The object aimed, at was to show that these articles could be used readilv and saletv, and that the expense of a rea.ly nutritious diet would be much less than with meat.Tlie great obstacles to be overcoille are that our people are addicted to a meat diet and tlhev are not accustemed to cheese, Therciore thev like the one and do \u201cnot\u201d like the other.This taste ior one and distaste for the other at home stopped the bulletin.But the work went far enough to bring an acquaintance with cheese as a staple article of diet which has grown and the report of the bill-ol-fare named at the opening of Unis article came from one of those who objected to cooked cheese at that time.Now it is, perhaps, a ecnnien lv selected article as a principal dish for a meal now and then, and is relished by all.FRANK LE.EMERY.Chicago, III.THE VALUE OF MILK USED IN THR MANUFACTURE OF CHEESE.In a copy of the report of the Agricultural Sub-committee for Gloucestershire, which Mr.H.A.Howman has sent nie I find the details of a good deal of work which has been performed in the manufacture of nine varieties \u2018of cheese.These details arc of considerable interest, not because the figures which are included are by any ineans an exact guide to what is possible, or what is not possible elsewhere,but because it would appear that the system involved is calculated to be great service to those who produce milk in other parts of îhe country ; and for this reason it would be still better if those who make cheese in other institutions were to adopt a similar method of propagating facts of the same kind, and of doing so even more extensively, for the reports of dairy schools do not reach very distant districts.Tt appears that particular weights of all these var- icties of cheese were produced from given quantities of milk, that the cheese averaged a particular price per pound in each case, so that it has been possible for Mr.Howman to calculate the actual sum alised per gallon for the milk used.A dairy farmer.looking down the list of returns, would probably decide in the majority of cases that his wisest plan would be to sell milk, and to have nothing to do with cheese making.But much pends upon the conditions, as we shall sec.In the first place, the milk employed apparentlv poor in qualitv, for il required a good deal more than a gallon to produce a pound of cheese.Stilton cheese, for cx- ample, realised 12.8d.per 1b., but the price per gallon realised was only 10.7d.Cheddar for the milk was onlv 6d., and similar Te de- Was OUR =09 realised 7.34.per lb., but 1e price realised differences are found in the case of Wen- slevdale, although both the single and the double Gloucesters and the Caerphilly realised pratically as much per gallon olf milk as was obtained per 1b, of cheese.On the average of the season, really good milk should produce a pound of Cheddar to the gallon, and bv the expression \u201c\u2018good.\u2019\u2019 | mean milk containing about 6 per cent.c! fat.Referring to one of the most import ant series of experimental productions «© a large scale, with which I am acquainted, I find that where the milk contains from 3 to 3.5 per cent.of fat, the cheese made per 100 lbs.of milk was 9.14 lbs.- With every 0.5 additional percentage of fat in ihe milk, there was an increase in the quantity of cheese made, and a decrease in the quantity of the fat lost in the whey, until we reach the maximum fat percentage, 5 to 5.25 per cent.Here the loss of fat in the whey was less than two-thirds of that lost in the case of the poor milk referred to, while the quantity of cheese made per 100 lbs.of milk was increased to 13.6 lbd.Evidentlv, therefore, the milk emploved at Gloucester could not have been very rich.And here lies the first point.if the farmer produces milk for sale, his object is to escape falling below the standard.More than the standard he is not obliged to provide, unless in accordance with any arrangement with his buyer; but the object of the cheese-maker, like that of the butter-maker, should he to produce milk of very rich qualitv, the richer the better, for.as we have scen, he may approxi- matelv produce 40 to 50 per cent, more cheese, and this he can do not inerelv by good feeding, but chiefly by the introduction of blood into his herd.Now that the dairy farmers\u2019 associations are hecoming strong, and feeling their feet.and also ahle to dictate the price of milk in summer :s well as in winter, they arc not likely to be content with 5 to 6 per cent, per gallon as the result of cheese making, although this is slightlv increased bv the addition of the value of the whey.The Gloucester prices would have been materially increased if the milk had contained 1 per cent.more fat.In all probability the Stilton cheese would have realised as much per gallon of milk as per 1b.while the Gloucester, the Cacrphilly, and the other varieties, including the soft cheeses, would have realised prices which would have been more advantageous than those which arc realised by the milk-scller pure nd simple.A large quantity of Pont IL'Eveque cheeses were made, and these realised 6d.each, which meant 9 1-4d.per gallon for the milk, but while the more popular Camet- bert and Coulommiers reulised only 4d.cach, or 6.8d.a gallon of milk, the Port du Salut, sold in a smaller quantity, realised 8.3d.per 1b.In my experience the two soft cheeses named\u2014ior Port du Salut is not precisely what the French call \u2018\u2018pate molle\u201d\u2014should realise nearly 1s.a rallon for milk, but in the ordinary way neither variety is usually well ripened in this country, and sales have to be cifected to private individuals, who are not usually willing to pay full price any more than the dealers, who are so exacting that they prefer French makes to anything else.JAMES LONG.ba od The Poultry-Yard.DOCTORING FOWLS When discase breaks out in the poultry run the first thing the novice usually docs 1s to write a letter to a poultry paper detailing the symptoms, and asking how to effect a cure.This, so far as it goes, 1s all right, but verv often before a reply can reach the guerist his birds have reached a stage where treatment is of small avail.If he had possessed even a rudimentary knowledge of \u201cfirst aid\" it might have made in all the difference.Immediately a bird is observed to be cut of sorts it should be isolated.This is essential because most of the discases to which fowls are subject are contagious and soon spread to tle entire flock.There are certain viru- rent diseases, such as diphtheretic roup and cholera, for which there is only one cure, viz, strangulation; but wherever doubt exists an special to an expert should be made, and, if possible, a post-mortem examination of the dead bird obtained.Upon the result of this any future action as regards prevention can be based, and a recurrence of the trouble avoided.Where the diagnosis points to a contagious disease the carcase of any fowls that sue- cumb should be buriit and buried in quicklime ; in fact, it is wise to do this in any case.The common ailments will generally yield to prompt treatment, and many firms supply remedies which can always be kept at hand ready for any cmergency that may arise.HOW TO GIVE A FOWI, MEDICINE It is not such a difficult matter to administer medicine to a fowl as is gencrally supposed.The best time to give it is at night, when the bird is drowsy, as it is less likelv to flutter or become excited.Hold the bodv {firmly well up under the left arm, which leaves both hands {ree.With the left hand open its beak by pressing the month at the sides.Take the spoon in the right hand, and place in the beak, keeping the tongue well under it.Then tilt slowly upwards, when the medicine will usually Le swallowed.Never administer more than hall a tcasponful at once.Also sce that the nostrils of the fowl] are clean, so that it can breathe, or it will suffocate.There are certain rules in reference to measures which, as affording a guide to a correct dose, it may be as well to note.A teaspoon holds about one fluid drachm, a tablespoon hall a fluid ounce, and a dine-glass two [luid ounces.A drop is larger with some liquids than with others.For instance, about sixty drops ot minims of water go tc a teasponfiul or drachm, while of landanum or other tinctures and alcohol 120 drops go to a fluid drachm.Generally speaking, a dose that would be considered right for a child is about right for a fowl.If fowls were kept under proper conditions there would he little need jor administering medicine at oH, and if ix e In ER RES, A TE ARLES æ Lp ST ET om.rem éS aan were more generallv realised that the greatest preventives of disease among fowls are cleanlines and sunlight the poultry doctor would find his office a sinecure.INCUBATORS AND LAVING QUALITIES A short time since T was the recipient of a question which has probably occurred to others.\u2018The querist had been informed that pullets hatched in an incubator were likely to be inferior as layers to birds hatched under a hen, and wished to know il it was correct.It is curious what strange ideas prevail in regard to incubators,, which, after all, mercly perform the office of hatching.Fxperience certainly does not support such an idea, neither does reason.The mission of the incubator ceases directly the chicken is hatched, | oo TT CHANTICLEER.& PIGEONS.Tt will pay to go into the pigeon \u2018ynsiiess for squabs only, provided one gets the right kind of stock and gives careful attention and proper management.Most of the main requirements, at least, are included at the start in the following summary of Farmers' Bulletin, No.177.The best breed to use for squab raising is straight-Homers or a cross between them and Dragoons.Succesful breeders use Homers almost exclusively, because they are the best workers and feeders, and raise larger squabs in four weeks time than any other variety.By a cross of straight Io- mers with Dragoons vou get a larger squab in four weeks time than with straight Dragoons.A pair of straight Dragoons requires five weeks to bring squabs to market size, but the cross will result in a larger squab which can be put on the market ina little over four weeks.One large pigeon house is better and more economical than several small ones, but in no case should a house be built to accommodate more than 250 pairs.Ii larger numbers.are tabekept, mosc.than one.THE JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE AND HORTICLILTURE 911 hosse should be built.A room 8 x 10 feet will accommodate fifty pairs very com fortablv.The fly should be extended thir tv-twa feet if possible.Pigeons should be fed twice a dav\u2014in the summer time at 6.30 A.M., and 4.30 I.M., in the winter 7.30 A.M., and 3 P.M.The best kinds of feeds to use are crackec corn, red wheat, Kafir corn, millet, peas hemp and rice.In the morning give wheat, cracked corn and peas equal parts; in the afternoon give equal parts of cracked corn, peas, XKalfir corn and millet.The bird: should be fed

INVENTION.M.Tsouis Parisot, an eminent French chemist, has discovered a liquid which, le says, will keep eggs quite fresh for a period of twelve vears.If he can do it foi one vear he has fortune enough, but manv others have thought thev had the trick and failed.Karly last year, it is said, Ic placed a large number of new laid eggs ir this liquid, and he took the precaution tc get a magistrate to witness the proceeding and to affix to the tank his official seal.-At the expiration of twelve raonths the sms Le 212 THE JOURNAL OF magistrate witnessed the opening of the tank, and the eggs were found in excellent condition.Four, which were selected haphazard from the tank, were at once boiled for eating, and were found to be in first rate condition and of excellent flavor.Later on the inventor had another trinmph, some eggs which had been in the liquid for four months were successfully hatched, eight out of twelve which were placed under the hen proving fertile.M.Parisot states that he can preserve a thousand eggs with his preparation for tue pum of fifteen cents, -~ : \u2014\" wo.The Grazier and Breéder.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 METHODS OF STEER FEEDING.In steer-feeding.experiments at the Pennsylvania station, with steers confined in single stalls as compared with others confined in a large box stall having as many.square feet of space per steer as was contained in cach single stall, there was found to be no difference in the amount of bedding required to keep the animals clean.Neither was there any difference in feed required to produce a pound of gain that could be attributed to a difference in the method of confinement.There was found, however, a marked difference in the amount of labor necessary to care for the two lots ; being 50.83 per cent.greater for those kept in single stalls than for the others.A comparison of dii- ferent methods of watering was made where one lot was kept in stalls and supplied with water constantly before them, and another lot was kept in similar stalls, but received water but once a dav, when thev were turned into a vard that con- taines à large tank.Of these two lots the one having water constantly before it maintained a better appetite and made somewhat more cconomical gains than the other lot.There also a difference in atonal of Tabor necessary to care for the two Tots.The report states that \u2018steers furnished with automatic watering basins require about one-half as much Was {1 peus AGRICULTURE AND HORTICULTURE, time of the attendants to properly care for them as was required to attend to the same number of animals kept in stalls and turned out in a vard to water.\u2019\u2019 This difference is, however, largely covered by the difference between the pen and the single-stall system, only about six per cent, of extra labor being required to accomplish the watering where the steers were turned out from single stalls.FARMER'S ADVOCATE.+.bu é TIME WILL TELL.It has been declared in some circles that unless feeding cattle can be bought on a threc-dellar basis there will not be a normal number of young cattle put into feed lots this fall.Between recent cattle history and corn crop prospects the American steer is not a popular quantity in farming and feeding sections at present, and with the country in a sclling humor, there is everv prospect that even a three- dollar basis for a good class of feeding steers will not stir up much of a demand from the small feeders.There is also a prospect that nine months will see more or less men wishing thev had put in a carload or two of cattle.Keep vour eve on the big feeders this fall and you may get a pointer \u2014LIVE-STOCK WORLD, La ° n° RAISING CALVES WITHOUT MILK.It is an extremely unwise policy to feed for veal or for beef the heifer calves {from valuable and good milking cows.There are far too many unprofitable cows in the country, and the heifer calves from milkers ought to be grown to take the place of their mothers when their davs ol usefulness shall cease, and also to replace the poor As milk is an article of diet in increasing demand, many farmers are desirous of getting the calves off their natural food as early as possible, and the problem to be solved is how to ! ¢ voung anjmals, good COWS, ae 4 +03 ee ee 1.beep oot meow the SER.- t LI ES ES S Several excellent calf meals and milk substitutes are on the market, and a man may now sell all his milk and still raise the calves from his best cows, so as to build up and strengthen his own herd,and also supply better material, if he has it, to his neighbors for the same purpose.Some persons, however, prefer their own mixtures.The following formula will make a very fair milk substitute : Flour 16 2-3 pounds, linseed meal 33 1-3 pounds, finely crushed linseed cake {fifty pounds.Two and a half pounds of this mixture per day will be required for each calf.Scald it in boiling water, then add enough more water to make two gallons, and add a little sugar and salt before feeding.As the result of a considerable amount of experimental work, the following mixture is said to give most satisfactory results :\u2018 Wheat flour, thirty pounds; cocoanut meal, twenty-five pounds ; nutrium, twen- tv pounds; linseed-meal, two pounds ; dried blood, two pounds.One pound of this is added to six pounds of not water, stirred for a few moments, allowed to cool to 100%, then fed to the calf from a pail or calf-feeder, the latter preferably.The calves are taken at seven to ten days old, and at first are fed twice a day on a ration of three pounds whole milk and one-half pound of the above mixture; in a few days\u2014tour to seven, depending on how the calf thrives\u2014it is put on the full ration of calf meal.Wheat flour tends to kept the bowels from becoming too loose.Cocoanut meal contains twentv per cent.protein and nine per cent.fat.\u2014C.G.¥.\u201c Mass.Ploughman.\u201d \u2014T THE PROFIT OF KINDNESS.Says a writer in the \u2018\u2018 Farm Journal ' : \u2018\u201c My horse knows me as far as it can see me, and as I leave the wagon will look after me and watch for my re-appearance ; then, if I wave my hand will come to me.Will yours do that ?\u201d Right in that short paragraph lies a vrinciple\u2014the principle of kindness.213 That principle is a harbor of salety for some men.Others avoid it and wreck their fortunes on the rocks of unkindness and spiteful usage.A boy once said to us : \u2018\u201c Father always speacks to the horses, the dog and me as if he couldn't bea: to have us round.\u2019 Think how much that man missed in the kindly loyalty of boy, horses and dog.What is the matter with some men cn the farm ?They strike and scold cattle and horses and boys and everything else that dare not strike or talk back.\u2018And vet they are not unkind men at heart.Let a neighbor be in distress and they will do anything to relieve him.They have got in the habit of loud speech and rough usage.It is costing them good money every day, but they don\u2019t sce it.Think how many weary steps that man whose words serve as our text, saved in catching his horsd in pasture.Then, besides, does any one think the animal did any less work for loving his master as he did ?It is of especial importance that we deal kindly and gently with as per © MRE 5061 Bottle Free « ob pi x you
