MODE/RN FEEDING METHODS New 1'orlc mid N*sv Hampshire Put. • tins the Plan Into Operation. At tile last annual session of the New York state grange a resolution was adopted to appropriate from the state grange funds $200 annually for four scholarships, to be given to members of the' Order, in any of -the agricul- tural courses at Cornell university. A similar movement, looking t o the edu- cational interests of farmers' sons and •daughters, has been instituted in New Hampshire also. Beginning with the opening of the college year, Sept. 7, 1904, each subordinate and Pomona ^grange in New Hampshire will have the privilege of appointing one student .annually to a free scholarship in any of the four year or two year courses 1n the college, each appointment to sbe good for four years if in a four year course, or for two years if in a two year course. Students holdini .these scholarships will be relieved Hfrom paying the annual tuition fee of ^60, but will not be relieved from ipayment of incidental or other fees. \Women may bold these scholarships on the -same terms as men. The •method of .appointment is entirely at the option of the grange. It may be by •election, competitive examination or otherwise. • These scholarship appropriations are «guite i n line with the avowed purpose of the grange to help the farmer and 'his family. In those states where tfunds will permit, we doubt.if more spracticable good can be accomplished with an appropriation of $200 t o $500 -than in this manner. It is expected, that 'these scholarships in New York «tate are to be awarded as the result of\ competition between granges. The following plans have been suggested and seem likely to be adopted in then- essential features: First.—Scholarship to be awarded to the county showing the largest per- centage increase in membership dur- ing the year. Second.—Scholarship to be awarded to the county showing the largest per iceritage increase in new granges. Third.—Scholarship to go to the •subordinate grange showing the lar- gest percentage increase in member-' •ship and attendance. Fourth.—Scholarship to be awarded •to th'e boy or girl having the best record for scholarship and best attend- ance at grange. , SOME GRANGE DOINGS. They Cannot Be Put Into Practice ; Without the TTse qt an TTp- to-Date Self-Feeder. I have found a self-feed«r almost in- dispensable t o the best results in finish- ing steers.

Trough is slanted from building to edge, as shown at b, with beveled strip on angle next outer side to avoid sharp corner and collection of slobbered feed to sour and mold.

In matters of finance, the grange, through wise co-operation in lire in- •surance, has saved many millions of -dollars to the farmers. In nearly every state the enactment of laws has been secured, making it possible for farm- ers to organize, mutual Are insurance companies. In Indiana the grange se- cured the passage of the law of 1877, and the amendments thereto in 1SK3. Under these laws about fifty farmers' mutual companies have been formed, saving in that state alone $4,000,000. One company organized under this law has saved more than $100,000 to the farmers of St. Joseph county. In life insurance, in many states, laws have been secured and mutual •companies organized that have been almost equally successful with fire companies. Co-operative creameries, •cheese factories, corn husking and shredding companies and live stock improvement associations have been a means of great profit and saving to the farmers. If co-operative laundries and .bakeries were established also, our overburdened housewives would rise up and tyess the grange for relief from these exacting duties that come to every home, especially in this day when domestic help is so hard t o get. In matters of legislation the grange lias standing to its credit the eleva- ' tion of the department of agriculture at Washington to a position equal to other departments of the government, -with its chief a member of the presi- dent's cabinet', thus securing to farm- ers a voice in the affairs of the nation. This great boon was secured after a fight of twelve years. Also the Grout bill, protecting the dairy interests against the frauds practiced of selling oleomargarine as pure country butter. It was the grange that raised the question that congress had power over interstate transportation companies and had the right to fix freight rates. This question was carried by the .grange to the supreme court of the United States, and the decision secured that all corporations were subject to legislative control. On this decision .the interstate commerce law and the Sher- .•man antitrust law rest. The inter- state commerce commission law has -saved hundreds of millions. New Hampshire Grange Prizes. The state grange of New Hampshire offers $100, to be divided into three prizes, to the throe granges that will • make the best park of not less than an acre or thin a grove of not less than two acres. It also offers an unabridged •dictionary to each Pomona district for the best essay read at a Pomona meet- ing and a cabinet desk to the subordi- nate grange in each deputy district that Shall excel in certain prescribed literary work during the year.

Keep dairy cows in a good pasture; give them plenty of pure water to drink; give them plenty of pea vine and other nutritious hays, and about five pounds of cottonseed meal per day. Keep the cow and everything used in the dairy clean, Strain the milk through two thick- nesses of cheese cloth as soon as milked. Skim by means of a separa- tor. Put the cream into a refrigera- tor where the temperature is 45 de- grees. When the cream is sufficiently sour, strain through a wire-gauze strainer into a barrel or box churn. Add sufficient butter color to give the butter a nice straw color. Use a dairy thermometer at all times and have the temperature of the cream at about 56 degrees in the summer and 60 degrees in the winter. Do not Sll the churn over one-third full. Revolve the churn crank just fast enough to cause the cream to fall from one side of the churn to the other with full force. Stop the churn as soon as the butter particles are about the size of wheat kernels. Draw off the butter milk and wash the butter first in cold brine and then in cold clear water. Remove the butter from the churn, add an ounce of salt for every pound and work un- til the salt is evenly distributed.— Southern Farm Gazette. Austerlitz grange, Columbia county, ;N. Y., has 164 meiubersi and not one is •-in arrea*S for dues. The grange picnic season Is in- view nagain. ',_.'. • ' • • Excitement Means Xoss. The more one studies the nervous system of the cow the more dtfes one become impressed with the serious danger and loss which result from ex- citing it. The great difference in both yield and test of the milk which is ob- tained after the cows have been fright- ened or excited or hurried has been repeatedly proved and may be easily demonstrated by anyone having ac- cess to scales and a Babcock tester. The difference in the test for butter- fat is even more noticeable than the difference in the weight of the milk; and the annual loss from the mistreat- ment of a whole herd of cows can bs better imagined than described.— Prairie Farmer. Adams Centre Grange. Adams.Center, May 13.—At our reg- ular meeting Thursday afternoon there was am. attendance of 2S. This is the smallest attendance this 3 r ear, owing' to the-husy time with farmers. One candidate was \balloted for and accepted and aftterward obligated in the first and second degrees. There was also >one application for membership. Our grange has lost another member by death, Bro. Henry S. Chase, Who was one of our charter metabers. A committee was appointed 1 to draft resolutions and our charter was or- dered draped for 30 days. During tlbe lecturer's hour the fol- lowing- program was presented: Poem, \Farmer Brown on Taxation,\ Mrs. Lucy Davis; selection from Orange Bulletin, E. B.

Watertown, Route E, May 17.—The regular session of Stair grang-e was held Tuesday. The busy season for farmers was a- good reason fcr a light attendance, but an interesting- and profitable meeting was held. The reg- ular routine of business was ca-rrj d out, some needed repairs on the hall talked up, and a committee of three appointed to decide what should be done and reijort at some future meet- ing. It was decided by a vote of the grange not to observe Children's da/ in June nhiis year. Mrs. P. D. Green was elected a^ delegate to Pomona grang-e, which is to be held at Antwerp. June 1. Dur- irig the lecturer's hour the subject of pin-chasing a library was dii-cus-i', led by Mrs. A. M. Marsh. A number followed, all expressing their approval. Mrs. P. D. Green gave' some very interesting current topics which were heard for the first time by many who had been too busy to read the papers very thoroughly and wei-e enjoyed by all. A question box was last on the program. The next meeting will be hi hi Tues- day, Slay 24. The program follows: Quotations, grange; sunt*, Her.<ch-1 Salter; current events, D. A.

Lafargeiille, May 17.—Th<re was an unusually small attend-ince at- the ses- sion of grang-e Saturday owing to the fact that farmers were anxious on, ac- count of the lateness of the season, the 1 tine weather and the favorable Condi- | tion of the soil to improve the oppor- tunity for spring sowing and seeding. jNe degree work was given. Two ap- plications for membership were re- ceived. At our next regular meeting at. S p. m. Saturday, May 21, instruction! in degree work will be conferred. It is Moped a good, attendance vill be present. The state grange bullefrn for the benefit of subordinate grangts is re- ceived. The topics for May and June are full of helpful practical sugges- tions- for each member. Ensilage Milk and Butter. Experts declare that millc made from ensilage has all the qualities of milk and butter made out of green grass. This is saying much in favor of en- silage as a feed. One butter-buyer de- scribes the flavor resulting from the feeding of good ensilagt* as a fine grassy flavor such as is desired by the- users of fancy butter. We hope that our experimenters will give us more on this Subject, as the matter of good and cheap feed,for the dairy cow and the cow of the farmer is one of great importance . at this time.—Farmers' Review. , Sewing Machines. Receipts Well Cleaned Up and tone of Prices Firmer. The Hay Trade Journal says: Con- tinued lessening of arm.ils has been a prominent feature in 1l,i- buy mat-let during the week. Ofl'iiings have de- clined in most instances to about d uly needs. The accumulate. I stoik b-ing well taken up, has turned the atten- tion .of the traders to the grades fol- lowing choice and Xo. 1, from which selection® are made and the markets are generally strong, especially for de- sirable lots. Fresh i m oiei-s also show up i n small volume indicating further ight receipts for the near fu-bu,re,whjch. leads to the belief that there will be no large amount put upon the market un- til after spring- seeding has bewi com- pleted. NEW YORK CITY. The general hay market continued firm. Receipts are of respectable vol- ume, trade brisk and prices firm w.th higher tendency. Arrivals are moving freely. A falling off in fresh invoices indicates that there can be no early re- cession in prices, owing principally to farmers being .busy with their spiing's work. _ When the same is completed they will probably give hay more at- tention, and shipment-; to take advan- tage of the present e-ood market i* strongly advised. No. 1 clover and clover mixed are in good demand, but off lots are not in favor. Small bales continue i n good, fail- demand ait near- ly even prices. Rye straw is higher under smaller supply, an embargo hav- ing been placed on importation of f r- eig-n straw by the United States gov- ernment. | BOSTON. The receipts of hay, although light, are a bit larger than a week ago, but the markets are firm and tending up- ward. All the better grades are want- ed ait prices quoted and the inferior qualities are also being worked off to better advantage than recently. L'.ng rye straw is quiet at ij notations, nita plenty on hand; Oat straw combines dull but stocks show sume reduction. Receipts for the past week were 245 cars of hay, 20 cars of which we:e billed for export and seven cars of straw. Corresponding week last year the receipts were 237 ears of hay, 27 cars of which were billed for export, and eight cars of straw, PROVIDENCE, Receipts have been very mrderate during the past week, and all athicis from shipping points -how \eiy little stuff being loaded. The railn ads ap- pear t o he pretty well cleaned up with old shipments, and receipts show no indications of increasing- for the next two or three weeks ami a firm market under these conditions are looked for. There is a particularly strong demand now for the better grades of timo h.v, and anything grading gnr.d No. 2, No. 1 or prime will meet with ready sale at full quotations immediately on ar- rival. * , *«*|jl|P«S^ *#i»* An elegant sewing machine for $20; also the finest machine made for $30.

AQRICULTUKAL BULLETIN. Shading crops to promote early rip- ening- or to improve qualiry is a prac- tice considerably advocated of late. Same have repurted excellent ri sidts in siiadiiig strawberries and the crop is one which might seem well adapted to the practice; since the plants can be shaded quite easily, the returns are large from small areas, and the prices are much influenced by earliuess and quality. However, two years' testing by the New York Agricultural Experiment Station, in two b>e.ilit!cs, spea' s strongly against the practice . Except on tno'varieti.s, which are known as good forcing berries there was very little increase in j it-id, the lime of ripening mis not appreciably influ- enced, and the quality, except us to size, was unfavorably affected. The practice may possibly be or advantage where large'berries arc demanded and paid for by the maiket; but the ex- , peiise more than counterbalances, any . ail uintage of the shading in general 'to Id culture. | Bulletin X.i. 2in of the Station g-ives I details of the tests: and this will be 'sent free In any applicant. 1HM J'SFfflSEtSWH OOOITXT <S. s <w.
