Pasteuriziug Temperatures. A series of experiments, in continu- ation of those conducted in previous years, was carried on this past year, chiefly to determine the effects of dif- ferent pasteurizing temperatures, be- tween 140 and 200 deg., on the bac- terial content of milk, and upon the quality of the butter, says a bulletin of the Ontario Experiment station. A joint bulletin by the dairy and bacteri- ological departments has been pub- lished giving the results of these ex- periments. Briefly, the results indi- cate that a temperature of 180 to 185 deg. is very favorable in reducing the bacterial content to a low point, and this temperature also adds ‘keeping quality to the butter. If we wish to establish a good reputation for Ca- nadian butter in the British markets, we shall have to adopt pasteurization; and if we wish our butter to retain its fine flavor for some time, we shall do well to pasturize at a temperature of 180 to 185 deg. In our experiments, the whole milk was pasteurized before separating and the skim milk was run over a water cooler before it was re- turned to the patrons. We found that this plan enabled us to send to the farmer a good quality of skim milk for feeding purposes. 4 The Supplies of Butter. There is a considerable increase noted in the supplies of butter in the great markets of the country. The pastures in many localities are now in good condition and the cows are pro- ducing increased yields. The butter supplies come not only from the many farms, but also from new creameries that are opening up or from cream- eries that have been closed since last fall. It will doubtless be found that the supplies this summer will be somewhat short of the average, due to the fact that the cows go into sum- mer in a much poorer condition than was the case a year ago. It is hard to see where an increased amount of milk is to come from. The prices for butter products during the past few years have not been sufficiently high to stimulate breeding, and young cows do not give large quantities of milk anyway. It is to be hoped that the farmers have not ‘been disposing of their cows due to the high price of feed and that an increased number will come into use this year. The creamerymen are claiming that the yield of milk is very low, perhaps the lowest of recent years. There seems no particular danger of a slump in the prices paid for either milk or butter. Salt and Water in Butter. At the Wisconsin experiment station a study was made of the effect of salt on the water content of butter. In each of eighteen experimental churn- ings the butter was divided into two lots, one of which was salted and the other not salted. In other respects the two lots in each case received as near- ly identical treatment as possible. In eight trials both lots were worked once and in ten trials the lots were worked twice, the two workings being separated by an interval of about twenty-four hours. Chemical analy- ses showed that the salted and unsalt- ed butter in the lots worked once con- tained, respectively, 12.74 and 15.12 per cent of water. In the lots worked twice, the salted butter contained 10.53 and the unsalted butter 14.33 per cent of water. The unsalted butter always bad a dry appearance, but jn every comparison it was shown by chemical analysis to contain more water than the salted butter. The salt apparently made a difference of about 3 per cent im the water content of the butter. Sugar Beet Pulp for Cows. A publication of the Department of Agriculture says: Prof. Thomas Shaw expresses his belief that sugar beet pulp can be fed more advantageously to cattle and sheep that are being fat- tened than to dairy cows. The New York Cornell experiment station, how- ever, found that this material gave good results with milch cows, the dry matter (solids) in it being about equal in value to that in corn silage. Ger- man experiments with beet pulp for cows have also given good results, the flow of milk being maintained in a satisfactory manner. Some Danish ex- periments have shown that, as com- pared with mangels, the butter pro- duced on sugar beet pulp was of abort equal quality and kept fully as well. Where large quantities of the pulp were fed the cream required to be churned a few minutes longer. Doncentrating Dairy Establishments. A conference of Canadian dairy ex- perts adopted the following: That it would tend to secure a better and more uniform quality of dairy products to have all cheese factories and cream- eries organized into groups or syndi- cates consisting of from 15 to 30 fac- tories, each group being under the su- pervision of a competent instructor, and that these groups should be cen- tralized under one authority in eacn province; that short courses of in- struction should be held in the dairy schools for farmers’ sons; to ensure cheese and butter being manufactured only in factories that are free from sanitary defects, and possessed of well-constructed and readily cleansed rooms, pure water, good drainage, and clean utensils, and surroundings. The use of the milk tester keeps one familiar with what cows are most val- j The Packers’ Explanation. The Chicago packers are endeavor ing to explain to the people the causes that make beef high. With that end in view they have issued the fol- lowing circular: Why beef is high. The present high price of dressed beef is occasioned: 1. By the increased demand in the United States and Great Britain for dressed beef, and 2. By the high price of corn, which is used to such a large extent in feed- ing cattle. The advances in the price of corp during the past year have been as fol- lows: Closing price No. 2 cash corn Chi- cago board of trade: January 2, 1901. -$ .36 April 1, 1901.... +, 425% September 8, 1901. - 5456 December 2 ,1901. + 62% April 26; 1902..... - +625 The following comparison shows that the price af cattle largely coin- cides with the price of corn, and corp has ranged much higher in price dur- ing the feeding season commencing September 1, 1901, than for many years. The wholesale price of dressed beet is governed by the cost of live cattle.

R. E. Roberts read a paper on the handling of early lambs, which was followed by a discussion, in part as follows: Q.—What breed of sheep do you keep? A.—We keep the Shropshires. Q.—How much do the lambs weigh when you sell them? A.—Sometimes they weigh as much as 45 pounds. The February lambs sold in April. P—Do you use a basement barn for these lambs? A—No; I have only an ordinary barn boarded up and down. Q—Which will stand more cold weather, cattle or sheep? A.—Sheep. Q.—Where do you market your lambs? A.—In Chicago. I have shipped to one man there for fourteen years. We ship carloads at a time, by getting other lambs to sénd with ours. Q.—Is there not a limited market for that class of lambs? A.—No, sir; there seems to be no end to the demand. I dispose of all my lambs at $3 per head at the depot. Q.—Do you select your breeders from yearlings? A.—No; I use two-year-olds. Q.—lIs silage good feed for. sheep? Mr. McKerrow. — Our experiment station at Madison has issued a bulle- tin on the matter. We have been feed- ing a good deal of silage to sheep at our farm. Our ewes and lambs are doing well. They are getting clover hay and alfalfa. They are getting two feeds of silage per day. We have seen no bad results from it. Q.—How about rape for sheep feed? Mr. Roberts.—It is the best feed I know of. Mr. McKerrow.—Let me warn you against feeding your breeding stock on rape. It is too stimulating. It is better to have only half a ration ic rape. Canadian exporters are very shy about buying sheep fed on rape for they go down quickly when put on grain feed. A Course of Natnre Study. Cornell University has introduced something of an innovation into its agricultural work in the form of a home course of nature study. The work is under the direction of Profes- sor John Craig. Lesson sheets are sent out to all parts of the state, and are extensively used in the farmers'| Poultry Problemr. Mrs. Ida Tilson of Wisconsin say~ that she finds it costs about one dol- lar per head to properly house fowls. She figures 12 square feet of house room and three square feet of shec room to each fowl. She has triec wide and narrow perches side by side and finds that the fowls prefer the wide ones, The improved hen needs a bigger perch than does the hen that was in the Garden of Eden, for she is a bigger fowl. It is a good plan to have the sitting hens in a separate building. Nests should be so ar- ranged that they can be closed by a door at night and thus prevent the hens from roosting on them. It is little work to close these in the after- noon and open them in the morning. To keep the drinking water warm in the winter a hot brick is put under it. An open s¢ratching shed in winter is better than a scratching room in a house with glass before it. All hens should be provided with a dust bath. The hens should not be kept near cat- tle and horses, for the mites will go onto cattle and horses. Not more than fifty hens should be kept in a flock. Q.—Do you have a platform under your roosts? A.—Platforms are very good, but they must be kept very clean, or in- sects will get in. SO we use sand. Q.—Should not one have a large scratching room? A.—Have all you can afford. Q.—Should not nest -boxes be sin- gle? A.—Yes; I would not have a nest box attached to the wall at all. Q.—How wide do you have your perches? A.—Four inches wide. Q.—Is there not danger in feeding too much pepper? \ A.—Yes; I feed it only occasionally in the winter. Q.—Does a fowl need stimulating by pepper and the like. : A.—Not if she is in good health. . Q.-How about feeding cottage cheese to poultry? A.—In the making of cottage cheese the sour milk should not be allowed to reach a higher temperature than 100 degrees, If too hard, it will kill young turks. . Birds for Fall Shows. From Farmers’ Review: In select- ing our birds for the fall and winter shows we get them out in March or April, and when about four months old we pick out a few of the best cock- erels—say about twenty—looking weil to form, color, comb and legs., These are put in a yard by themselves and are crowded right along with wheat, oats, corn and beef scraps or ground bone fresh, and lots of green grass, millet seed in small quantity and about three weeks before the show add ground flaxseed to the mash. It gives a fine luster to the feathers. Select a like number of pullets and feed in the same way, keeping them by themselves. Now about a week before sending them away to the show make your selection from these birds, and make it a point to handle them every day, so that they will not be frightened when the judge takes them from the coop. Often a point or two is gained in this way. If you have white birds, wash them in soft watér to which a little bluing has been added. Then take a toothbrush and clean the legs, and rub with olive oil and sulphur., Then put in a clean show coop and keep in warm room until dry. Colored fowls do not re- quire the washing, but clean their legs and comb. If you intend to put male and female in same coop mate them several days before. Out of your first selection of twenty cockerels and twenty pullets you can select three or four of each that ought to be win- ners. Look your birds over carefully to see if black feathers are not where they would disqualify the bird or pin feathers on leg and between toes— Fred Keith, Ingham County, Michi- gan. Poultry Points Picked Up. It is a mistake to imagine that mongrel-bred fowls are hardier than pure-bred, though this opinion. seems to be quite generally held. Like a good many other opinions this lacks support by proven facts. Breeders of fine fowls claim to have demonstrated its fallacy. Under the general condi- tions of the farm, a thoroughbred will stand as much as a scrub will stand. Light and heavy fowls should not be kept together. ».There must be similarity of treatment, and light ang heavy fowls do not need the same treatment. Diverse treatment can be secured only by keeping the fowls of the two general classes separate. 7. © One poultryman says: “Never keep reading clubs and reading circles.| s fowl longer than the second season; These lesson sheets are on agricultural} put her on the market in July or topics and are followed by examina- August just before she begins to tion papers, which are to be filled out| molt.” Other poultry men are just and returned.

WX: - MRS JODGDR PAIL ALLISTER, We would caution all people against accepting substitutes for Peruna. In- sist upon having Peruna. There is no other internal remedy for catarrh that will take the place of Peruna. Allow no one to persuade you to the contrary. If you do not derive prompt and satis- factory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable ad- vice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, Ohio. JA JUDGE'S WIFE puite‘Snnau| She Suffered, for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope- . less—Cured by Peruna. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1217 West 33rd St., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: «I suffered for years with a painin the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor’s medicine did not seem to help me any. “Fortunately a member of our Or- der advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. «I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna I enjoy that now,”’---Minnie E. McAl~ lister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many peo- ple toimitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug- stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Pe- runa. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can getit a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt. A Hint to Girls. It was a little thing, but the other day a young girl was nédticed following her callers, two young men, into the hall, as they took their leave, She even accompanied them to the porch, this, undoubtedly, because she did not know how to say good-bye and dismiss them in the parlor. There was nothing form- al in the call, which was merely a drop- in of some school boys; but it would have been a good time for that young girl to practice the little dignified con- versation of the hostess, that presently she will so very much need. A girl may be all that is charming and companion- able, and cordial and hospitable, yet preserve the ceremonious forms that are the necessities of social intercourse. -—Harper’s Bazar. The New Silk Jackets, Some of the new French silks show broche or moire backgrounds, while ‘Watteau and Pompadour effects lend distinction to novel weaves of taffeta, peau de soie and foulard. A number of the little black silk jack- ets of taffeta or other weave, are fin- ished with cleft collar, revers, and el- bow cuffs formed of chine silk or Pom- padour brocade, and these look particu- larly smart when worn over a blouse- waist of cream net, lace or embroidered batiste, with collar and girdle of black velvet. On some of the more expensive French models made in this manner the black velvet accessories are embroidered over the colors of the flowered silk.— New York Post. After Twenty Years. ‘Lusks Springs, Ind., June 9th.—It would be hard to find a happier man than Mr. William Catterson of this place has been for the last few weeks. For twenty years his wife has been an invalid with a complication of disor- ders, Neuralgia, Rheumatism and gen- erally broken down constitution. Mr. Catterson had done everything that loving care could suggest, but in yain—his wife only grew worse. Recently, however, he heard of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and determined to give them a trial, and was overjoyed at the splendid result. From the very beginning of the treatment she commenced to improve, till now she is nearly well, and Mr. Cat- terson is rejoicing. He says: “Nothing ever, did her so much good.
