Another reason why \some farmers fail to make hens profitable '4s that they do not half feed them. They ”have the ridiculous idea that the tf’hen should get their own living by eat- ggin summer and what grain they ~. cenpickup in the barnyard in winter. The idea of feeding them regularly as the.rest of the farm-stock does not strike then: favorably when they throw the hens ~ a.quart or go of corn and see how quickly it-disappears the cost of feeding them as- sumes. large proporhons A remedy for thisisgtolet-the\ wife or daughter have: entire charge of the hens, give them a good house:to keep them in and all the: feed they ask. for, with the: uriderstanding daughter for the. feed 'should in hung a profitableIotof poultry.

Blunderere \High In Position, but Low Down In Dairy Sense.\ The test of dairy breeds is going on from day to day. Only three breeds are represented, and the cows are kept in their respective barns with big placards | by the doors reading \No Admittance.\ | As object lessons they are failures to the public, for the public cannot see them. All is private, and the officials in charge only know what is done. Farmerscome there to the types of dairy cows and the door i slammed in their faces. At & bi ense this dairy testis conducted in private and only three breeds in it at that. The dairy exhibit is a faflure. Some ane blundered. ~Some one high in po- . sition, but low down in dairy sense. Red tape can't put sense into an empty head, especmlly when heaping full with self importance, 'The cold storage facilities are a failure, We learn that the con- tract was let to one party to put in the rnold storage plant for all exhibits and that no state was permitted to furnish its own cold storage. 'The titled chief who handled the red tape blundered in this and sacrificed the dairy display. The cold storage provided is a failure, It does not preserve the butter. We hear that some of the butter became tainted with ammonia and that the only alter- native lay between a display of injured butter and no display, and as it is mani- festly unjust to the makers of the butter to let it spoil and then exhibit as a sample of their product the flutter was quietly withdrawn and sold. The result is that the exhibits of dairy products is humiliating. In place of a grand exhibit in keeping with the mag- nitude of the. business-one that would fitly illustrate the mhsrvelous achieve- ments of modern have a humiliating, tacle, a flat failure in its «educational feature and an insult to the : worthy dairymen who in good faith fur- nished 33121111313 of their work.

Thefact 5s the stuff depends almost entirely for its con- sumption upon fraud and deception of the grossest character, and those who uphold and defend it will some day be ashamed of their words. A fact porti- nent to this view of the case is cited from the late report 'of the Connecticut and food commission by the Hart ford Times. Itsays: ° \Connecticut according to the last census, with & population of 746,258 had arine factories, but two wholesaledealereand 60 retail dealers. g by wagons has been the most t to follow up. However, when such dealers wore compelled to place: outside their wagons a sign bear- ing ‘Oleomergerine Sold Here,' they gave up the business entirely, as people [then knew what the peddler was han- dling, 'and they looked to some other 'Aealer for their butter,\ The legislature of Connecticut has £3 w gimilar to that in orce n sachusetts, which forbids dleomargarine or any other bstitute . - Mor, f¢ nam natur ~ may seem to be-cheapér thancmeat, but it in the tolors form or neme Of a yellow Butter.

No creamery has a right to pay astock dividend. That money belongs to the farmer. At the same time there are neighborhoods where a creamery is need- ed, and the proper plan here is to ar- range for each patron to take stock in proportion to the number of pounds of milk he sells One very successful creamery in Pennsylvania requires every patron to own a share of stock, for each 10 cows or fractional part of that num- ber. The stock is worth at par $10 a share, and if a man quits furnishing milk and wishes to sell his stock it is bought by funds from the treasury. It pays a small dividend yearly and has & reserve fund, but intends to pay such a price for milk that no profit will be made. Creameries owned by individuals al- ways are more profitable than stock creameries for the simple reason that the individual creamery is run on more exact byginess principles. An old say- ing holds good hero-that \too many cooks spoil the broth.\ In putting 11de building for a new plant there is m more danger of getting it too large than too small. As a general thing there is little danger of crowding in a creamery. The closer the machines are together the fewer steps are required to run from one tothe other, and the less fuel is re- quired in winter. At the same time I would not recommend putting the boiler in the icehouse nor the engine on one corner of the butter worker. There are more successfnl-creameries built for $1,500 than there are for $5,000. With the former sum a building can be put up and furnished, exclusive of the cost of the land, that will do the work for 700 cows, and if every creamery in the country were getting milk from 700 good cows there would be few failures except through gross mismanagement. If there are not $00 cows to contribute to the creamery, the safest plan would be not to build. Build on a hillside, and if posgible near & good spring of water.

Fed on Greon Cheose. I In the summer home consumption of cheese a great deal of the product is cut up before itis half cured. Country and village storekeepers buy of local factories a few cheeses st a time, and these are cut up and retailed to customers com- paratively green, A grest deal of such cheese is also retailed from factorics, generally only to the patrons. Merchants and others who retail this product would confer a pleasure and a benefit on their customers: by having cheese held in the curing rooms of the factories until at least a month old before cutting. I have beard many complaints on this subject about the difficulties experienced by country consumers in obtaining ma- ture cheesé for the table. Cheese of proper maturity is nutritious and digest ible, but when it has scarcely passed from the curdy state it is poor stuff to put fnto the human stomach. Many people with weale stomachs complain that cheese does not agreo with them at all. It is generally because they never obtain the article when it has reached the right stage of fermentation or curing. 1d cheese is also as deleterious as that which is vary new.-Cleorge E.
