fi______â€", t hp How to Double the Butter Product. Only a few days ago a good lady butter maker sent for me to come and test her cotvs. There were seven in the herd, three of which went below 3 per cent. of butter fats, the others strag~ gling up as high as 4, and the average of the whole herd was per cent. About 24 pounds of their milk would be required to make 1 pound of butter. She said they were getting about 110 pounds of milk per day, but she made only 18 pounds of butter per week, so that my test must be wrong. As we sat at the supper table, she, her hus- band and the hired man had a good laugh at the man who followed the farmers' institutes and wrote agricul- tural articles lor the farm papers. The good woman lost her temper when told that she lost nearly half her butter be- tween her cows and the butler bowl. and would not believe the test that showed over 1 per cent. of butter lat in her skim milk. To satisfy her that the test was all right, I promised the next day to go through with it all again, also testing the buttermilk. The result was start- ling. The second test showed 3.3 per cent. of butter fats in the whole milk, 1.2 per cent. in the skim milk, and at least oneotenth ct'l per cent. in the buttermilk. From 224 pounds of milk, which should have given her at least 8§ pounds of butter, she got only 4 pounds 7 ounces, or a trifle less than one-half the butter in the milk, the rest: being wasted or lost. in the skim milk and buttermilk. She is not convinced yet, and I am going Over with a separ- ator some day, just to show her. And the truth is that fully one-third of the butter makers in New York State are using the same appliances, under about the same conditions :that this one is. The most exasperating thing about it all is they won't believe you when you show them wherein they are losing money. Such people will pay 85 to some travelling fraud for the “ secret ” of doubling the amount of butter ob- tained from milk (add rennet and churn the whole milk, thus getting the cheese with the butter in one mess, that tastes fairly when fresh, but soon spoils and has no market value), but won’t believe a competent instructor who demonstrates by actual test that they are getting only half the actual butter fats by their present processes.â€"â€"â€"American Paper. -.._ Continuous Stabling of Cows. _â€"_- In a lengthy article in the London Line Stock Journal on dairying and feeding herds at Birmingham sewage farm we find the following: “ The cattle upon the various farms come up to something like 600 head, the majority of them being housed the greater part of the year, the milking herds, numbering 200, never leaving their stalls. The largest of the home steads is the one at Tyburn, where the buildings are all new, most ‘eflicient. and titted with every convenience ior attending to the cattle to the best advantage. The first shed we entered contained Seventy-two milking cows, thirty-six on a side; these stand with their heads to the outer walls, with an 18~foot wide read up the centre for the purpose of bringing down the carts to take away the manure at once. There are racks and mangers in front, and a water trough between each two cows, to which they have access at all times. Their iced consists of pulped roots and chopped hay in winter, and Italian rye- grass during the summer, to which is added a mixture of ground corn to the extent of 8 pounds per head per day. The whole of the feed being of such a succulent character has the client of producing enormous yields of milk; records are periodically taken, and as much as 1,400 gallons have been ob. tained from a single cow during the year, and some oi the cows, commenc- ing at seven gallons of milk per day after calving, wore at the end of ten months still yielding about five gallons daily. These cows are almost entirely of the Shorthorn typc. several of them having registered pedigrees, and are purchased when about four years old and near cult ing, and are usually bought in very good condition." We have quoted this article mainly because oi" the stabling system pursued, out of fairncst to those who claim that cintinttom stabling oi cows is not inim- icnl to their health and productivity. The other remarks are included for the incidental information that they give. ___, t_.__.m <.â€"oâ€"â€"~â€"wâ€"â€"-â€"â€" Ang‘1V3‘cg of root crops recently m-nlc , by the Ontario experiment station on- ,,,'.c,. am-w the nit] ltt'li-'i [lint hints carnâ€" m“ much water for -i‘lbllnlll\ In hwnluiug‘ rlu- turnips slnmiw: lrn in film tn 9:; per cent ital-T and Ill! vy ~ I‘M .n 85 n. 9:l pt-r coin. \tztti-r \n l u \ivl-l nt‘ turnip~ nor her" I t: t\ ..i ,h as L’Il tule mil} lfi i""‘”l "2‘ ""“'"r lif‘ Milli-ti, or :tlmUl llM! nth-13.x! lullul m: J v ittt‘S illtt mung-ls showed I ill )llL‘V Why Bother Looking Anywhere Else?

A moment's ob- servation reveals the peculiarities of the breed, and attention is riveted by their strange performances. Early in his they exhibit the tendency which has earned for them the name above applied. When a mouseling leaves the nest its gait consists of an evident attempt to proceed in a straight line; this is frustrated by a tremulcus move- ment of the head, which is nervously shaken from side to side. Shortly, a tendency is exhibited to turn ; this de- velops intoa rotatory motion, performed with extraordinary rapidity, which con‘ stitutcs the peculiarity ofthe waltzing mouse. “The ordinary routine of daily life is constantly interrupted by this mad disposition to whirl, frequently indulged in lor several minutes, and, with an occasional stoppage of a few seconds, continued for hours. The floor of one of Mr. Haley's cages being somewhat rough, the mice actually reduced their feet to stumps before it was noticed. Like ordinary mice, they slot-p during the day, but apparently waltz the whole night long it, however. they are dis- turbed during daylight, they leave their bed and work off some surplus energy. " The rotation is so rapid that all individuality of head and tail is lost to the eye. only a confused ball of black and white being recognizable. Very often they spin in couples, revolving head to tail at such a speed that an unâ€" broken ring only is perceived. It is remarkable that they keep perfectly to- gether; this may be attributed to their similarity in size and not to any special faculty they may possess. An upright peg forms a favorite pivot, but even without this guide they would not, in several minutes, cover an area iarger than a dinner plate, and they easily spin under a tumbler. Sometimes three or tour mice run together; the extra ones then form an outer circle, but as the evident desire is to rotate rather than revolve, more than two seldom work well. An individual generally spins in one direction only, and the ma- W Seats free in all churches. Everybody jority turn it) the left, only a small pro- irtvitedto attend.
