Farm and ‘Garden DAIRYING IN EURGPE. Some Interesting Facts Garnered From Abroad by American' Commission. Interesting testimony was brougnt out by the Ameriean commission in- vestigating the co-operative dairy de- velopment in Eurepe. The largest co- operative dairy in .existence is the Vienna dairy, which handled in a year 20,000,000 Ifters of milk. This is equiv- alent to nearly 60,000,000 quarts. The dalry operates 102 wagons and 159 de- pots for the sale of milk in Vienna and adjoining towns. Stables accom- modate 212 borses, and above these are sleeping, smoking and dressing rooms for employees. This soclety has 631 members, who are paid for milk accord- ing to fat content, which now averages around 3.85 per cent. The net value of a liter was a little more than 23 heller, equivalent to 4.6 cents. Upon arrival at the dairy, milk is pasteurlzed after being strafmed and cooled. No figures are available as to the price consumers pay. Veterinary police in Austria aim at the prevention and extermination of pneumonia in live stock.

Compensation is made for dis- eased animals killed, the amount fixed by a special epidemic commission. Co-operative dairying in Italy has existed since the fifmenth century. Latest avallable figures show 1,035 co- operative dairies, mostly in north Italy. The average number of cows in herds providing milk is 100 to 150. each in- dividual farmer having two to three animals. Milk {s sold by weight. and the price finctuates from 15 to 18 cen- times per kilogram, or aronnd 3% cents per quart. The average milk yleld per cow In Ttaly is about 5.600 pounds. A co-operative dalry at Sor Italy, controls 4,000 milk cow 160 farmers as members, pays 4% to 5% cents a quart for milk and disposes of the finished butter at approximately 26 cents a pound. Brown Swiss cattle are used. The influence of this co-op- erative dairy has served to increase the production of milk *wder better management. Milk must show 3 per cent fat. Every member myist own one share for every cow. Hal> or more of the cows are imported from Switzer- land at an average price of $150. Hungary is essentially an agricul- tural country, the European commis- sion reporting 44% per cent arable land, 10 per cent meadows, 12 per cent pastures and 20 per cent forests. Nearly all the wheat i3 autumn sown. A Doctor of Trees. Bernard Feldman of Plymouth, Mass., has conducted a series of ex- periments on fruit trees and has pro- duced some remarkable results. Mr. Feldman's thieory is that a healthy tree, like a healthy human be- ing. is able to vesist disease by kill- ing any barmful microbes which enter Its system, so he renders the tree im- mune by the application of chemicals through pipes set in the ground at the roots, especially in the winter and early spring. One effect claimed is that the insect pests which hibernate at the roots of the trees and are ready to start thelr destructive work with the coming of spring are killed by the treatment, which also invigorates the tree. Last season’s trials on a pear tree of the Shelden varlety resulted in pears averaging one and a quarter pounds, the ‘weight of fruit breaking down one part of the tree, which had not fruited since he had lived on the place, a period of several years. Another pear tree which, had a root disease has shown plenty of blooms. Two cherry «des are filled with green frult. One of these had a dried branch, of which (art was cut off and the rest revived and is as good as any other on the tree. Mr. Feldman's theory is that the sap is the “secretion of ferments residing in the tree and that durinz the. winter and early spring the chemicals used have the effect of stimulating those ferments to produce more sap. result- ing in more fruit. He will not make the details of his discovery public un til he is absolutely sure of its value. Chronic Dyspepsia. The following unsolicited testi- monial should certainly be sufficient to give hope and courage to persons afflicted with chronic dyspepsia: “I have been a chronic dyspeptic for years, and of all the medicine I haye taken, Chamberlain’s Tablets Have done me more good than anything else,” says W.

Results of Experiments as Feeds For Dairy Cows. i Results of experiments made by the | Montana Agricultural colleze experi- | ment station with clover and corn si- | lage as feeds for dairy cows led to the | following conclusions: First.—Second crop clover made into | silage during September and Octobier | after being frozen kept well until May | and June the following year, but be- came dark {n color strong in odor and | BILO OF THE MONTANA AGRICULTURAL | COLLEGE EXPERIMENT STATION. was not relished by dairy cows after the weather became warm. Second.—Cattle relished the cl®er s lage and had a keen appetite for it dur- ing the winter months. Third.—As an average of three ex- periments of two periods each the dai- Iy production of milk on clover hay was 22,8 pounds and of fat 0.93 pound. while on clover sllage tire daily pro- duction of milk was 24.08 pounds un(l of fat 0.97 pound. Fourth.—On clover hay the cost of producing a hundred pounds of milk was 73.9 cents and of one pound of fat 17.9 cents, while on clover silage the cost of producing a hundred pounds of milk was 73.4 ‘cents and of one [louml of fat 17.8 cents. Fifth.—In milk production 2.33 pounds | of clover sllage were required $o equal one pound of good clover hay. Sixth.—The value of clover silage, ae- cording to the experiments reported, ranges from $2.36 per ton to $2.76 per | ton, with an average value of $2.55 per ton. Seventh.—Corn cut in the milk stage made good silage and was relished by Qairy cows. Eighth.—With a basic ration of al falfa hay and a mixed grain ration of bran, oats, barley and shorts corn si- lage from corn cut in the milk stage bad a value of 2.38 per ton for milk pro- duction as compared with clover hay. IMPROVING QUALITY OF EGGS. Rooster Is Being Eliminated From Eggs Intended For Consumption. The “rooster” has been “swatted. Over 250,000 male birds were marketed in Missouri on “rooster day” and dur-, ing the few days which preceded it. Practleally all of the 1,500 buyers and wholesale dealers in eggs In Missourl co-operated with us in this movement, and from reports received from them thus far it is safe to say that a.quarter milllon males were marketed by Mis- sourl farmers during “rooster week,” says a Missourl experiment station writer. Tire productlon of infertile eggs will wmean the prevention of a less of from $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 this season im Missourl alone. This movement also will result in the improvement of the ( f quality of the poultry, as most of these farmers will replace their scrub males with pure bred males. It will also re- sult iw the improvement of the cleanli- ness of the egg, the method of han- dliug and the improvement of the qual- ity in general.

The object in “swatting the rooster” is not to keep bacterla out of the egg, as some seem to imagine, but to prevent chick devel- opment in fertile eggs. Before the eggs pass through the hands of the farmer, the country store, the local dealer, the wholesale jobber and the retailer and by the time they reach the consumer there has been considerable delay. An egg does not have to be in an in- cubator for the embryo to grow and develop, but chick development takes place in a hot country store or a living room or on a hot country road, on the road to market or in any place or under any eircumstances where the tempera- ture Is as high as it is in most hot sum- wer days, By eliminating the fertility we prevent chick development. which causes our greatest loss i1 summer months.
