Economy of Dairy Practice.
The Pennsylvania experiment sta
tion has been making some experi
ments relative to the influence of
quantity of food upon economy
of butter and milk produc
tion. In a summary they say:
Varying quantities of a ration consist
ing of timothy hay and a mixture of
corn meal, wheat bran and linseed
meal were fed to ten fairly good cows
for a period of 101 days.
1. When the average cost of food
consumed per cow per day was 10.0
cents, an increase of 3.5 cents in the
cost of the ration produced an increase
in the value of the butter product of
3.6 cents, or a net gain of 1.1 cents per
cow, amounting to 3?. 3 cents per day
for a herd of twenty-five cows, or #72.50
per year.
а. a iurtner increase 01 J.7 ceniB per
day, making the ration cost 25.1 cents,
showed no increase in the butter pro*
duct, and was therefore fed at a loss.
3. At this point a reduction in the
daily cost of the food consumed to 30.1
cents per cow showed a net gain in the
daily profit returned of 3.5 cents over
the period when the ration cost 25.1
cents; amounting to $263.50 per year
for a herd of twenty-five cows.
4. A further reduction of 3 cents per
day in the cost of the ration, making
the average cost 17.1 cents, gave the
smallest net profit of any period in the
experiment, amounting to a loss of 6.3
cents per cow per day when compared
with the ration costing 20 cents and
7.4 cents per day per cow in comparison
with a ration costing 23.4 cents.
This means a yearly loss on twenty
five cows when compared with the
ration costing 20.1 of $472.50 and $555.00
when compared with the ration costing
22.4 cents per day.
5. It does not appear to be profitable
in the average case to increase the
food of animals as long as they will
continue to show an increase in the
butter produced, for beyond a certain
limit, which varies with different ani
mals, the increased product is made at
a greatly increased cost of food.
б. While there is a danger of loss
from over feeding, as is shown by the
results in period 3, there is a very
much greater probability of a loss oc
curring from under feeding in ordinary
practice, since the most profitable
rations in our trials were nearly up to
the limits of the appetites of the ani
mals when the consumption of any
considerable quantity of coarse fodder
was required of them.
7. Wide differences are shown in the
yearly profit returned by animals pro
ducing approximately the same quanti
ty of milk and butter. The extremes
in the ten animals used in this trial
are as 1 is to 1.95.
8. The ration giving us the greatest
daily profit is lighter in digestible
nutriment than that recommended by
Wolff and that found to be the aver
age of a number of leading dairymen
in Wisconsin, but agrees iu all details
quite closely with the American stand
ard proposed by Prof. Henry.
Ole margarine Versus Butter.
The Supreme court of the United
States has rendered a decision in the
Massachusetts oleomargarine case
which affirms in the broadest terms
the power of a state government to
protect its citizens against fraudulent
imitations of articles of food. The
opinion of the court is that it is with
in the power of a state to exclude
from its markets any compound man
ufactured in another state which has
been artificially colored or adulterated
so as to cause it to look like an article
of food in general use, and the sale
of which may, by reason of such color
ation or adulteration, cheat the gen
eral public into purchasing that
which they may not intend to buy.
“The constitution of the United States
does not secure to any one the priv
ilege of delrauding the public.” The
Chicago Tribune, commenting on this
well says: Some people connected
with the manufacture of butterine in
this city are quoted as saying if the state
take advantage of this decision it will
close the market against the product
and affect the price of cattle. Either
cattle would have to be sold more
cheaply or meat cost more to the con
sumer if the manufacturers of butter
^ \aj uuu a, umrKet ior
the 90,000,000 pounds of that material
which they make per year. That is an !
awkward way of stating the case, be- j
cause it will allow some people to
draw the unfounded inference that
nobody would knowingly buy butter
ine for his or her own use and that the
consumption of the article can not be
procured except by a cheat. If this
were true the states ought to rule out
the fraud. It is the duty of their gov
ernment to protect the citizens from
•11 kinds of cheating, and certainly
not less so in regard to food, drink and
drugs than to other things. But is it
so? It must be admitted that in the
earlier days of its manufacture here
butterine was pushed into use by sell- •
'ng it for butter, and that probably its !
consumption now would be far
less extensive but for that fact,
j »et it surely ought to be able to
stand on its own merits by this time.
The manufacturers tell the truth in
saying that good butterine is much
preferable to poor butter, and that
veiy many consumers are wise enough
to elieve that. It is undeniable that
one great reason for legislatingagainst
its sale under ordinary conditions has
Deen the fact that it was sold for what
not> and ^ I" probable that but
*or this no restrictive laws would have
been passed in any state. So if some
of those laws be unfairly strict they
only retaliate upon interests which
have profited by fraud in the past
The use of butterine is so well estab- j
lished that it is assured of an exten
sive consumption by people who would
know they were not eating butter.
And if not it should not be sold at alL
There is no more right or reason in forc
ing it upon people who suppose they are
paying for butter than in obliging
them to consume pork or coffee when
they think they are paying for beef or
tea and much prefer the latter. Ilon
esty ought still to be the best policy,
as it was in “the good old times,” or
was supposed to be. The industry
which can not flourish except by
wholesale fraud on the community has
no right to flourish at all, and it is
especially desirable that fraud be not
allowed in the articles which people
take into their stomachs. The but
terine men should see to 1t that their
product is offered to consumers on its
own merits, as an acceptable substitute
for butter, but not for butter itself,
and till they come out fairly and
squarely with that policy they hardly
have a right to complain if somo of
the legislation intended to prevent
fraud bears upon them a little more
heavily than they think is fair.
. What I Know About Poultry Lice.
The following appears in the Inter
State Poultryman:
Mb. Editor: As I had nothing else
to do and you invite people to give
their experience about poultry mat
ters, I thought I’d tell you
what I knew for your valuable
paper. This is the season that the
hen lice get in their work most effect
ively. Our family consists of me and
dad and ma and about seventy-five
Plymouth Rocks—little and big. Dad
is sick and not feeling well. He had
an argument with ma about setting a
hen. He wanted to try the inverted
sod we read so much about in the pa
pers, but ma wouldn't have any such
foolishness. Ma has a convincing way
about her when she argues and that is
what made dad sick. I should think
dad would know it by this time, but
he’s as stubborn as a mule. You don’t
catch me arguing with ma. Ma says
dad don’t know enough about a hen to
last over Sunday,but if you could hear
dad talk when ma ain’t around you
could see he is right in it. Ma takes
care of our chickens. Oh, yes, about
the hen lice. The other day I heard
dad tell Jim Simpson all about how to
keep away the lice from your hen
house, and he said you couldn’t find a
louse in all his hen house because
he kept it so nice and clean.
I knowed that was all bluff,
but I didn’t say anything. Boys
know a good deal more than they let
ob. l Knew a place in our nen nouse
where the little red lice were thicker
than people at a free show. I knew
if I told on dad he'd be hot and he’d
make me clean ’em out. That’s no
snap. But dad oughtn’t tell fibs about
lice, so I thought up a plan to make
him repent and see how he’d like to
roost in a hen house with all them red
lice this hot weather. 1 felt sorry for
the hens. Dad he was born tired and
it’s been growing on him for about
forty-five years, so he goes to bed early
—he can stand more rest than afly
man in this whole county. So I got a
tin box with a lid on and scooped it
full of red lice—about five hundred
million of them—and took them ud
stairs after dad had gone to bed. When
I heard dad snoring—I should think
snoring would be too hard work for
him—I slipped into his room and
emptied the box on the bed. It was
awful hot and they had a good chance.
Dad's pretty fat. I sleep in the next
room. I went to bed with my clothes
on so if I got in a hurry I’d be ready.
I waited and waited and began to think
dad was too tough for ’em, but pretty
soon dad quit snoring. Then I knowed
the things was working and I just held
my breath and listened. Dad began to
turn over and then turn back, and to
throw his limbs around promiscu
ous like and to say things out
loud. I thought I’d bust, but I
knowed I had to keep quiet if I swal
lowed every sheet on the bed. I never
thought dad could be so active. It was
a whole lesson in gymnastics. I felt
that something was going to hap
pen soon, so I slid out on the kitchen
roof. Dad couldn’t stand it no longer
and got up and lit a match to see what
ailed him. You would have died had
you seen dad’s face while he was look
ing at that bed. I slipped down off
the roof and slept in the hay mow that
night. I thought maybe dad would
want my bed. Dad had to get the
coal oil can and take a kerosene bath
right away—that knocked them out.
If you want to see a whole circus of
wild beasts just ask dad what he
knows about hen lice. You don’t need
to send us any paper this month, as dad
is awful excitable, and being sick the
doctor says he must keep perfectly
quiet or he won’t be responsible for
the result. Yours truly,
William Weslet, Jb.
P. S.—I had to scour out the hen
house, though. But I don’t care, I
guess I had more fun out of it than
dad.
2d P. S.—I have had a lot more ex
perience with poultry, and if you pub
lish this I’ll write some more.
N. B.—Don’t send us any paper this
month, I’ll see one; dad’s awful ex
citable.
At the last meeting of the Iowa1
Dairy association Prof. Kent said: The j
provision of fat in the animal is to i
provide warmth, and so temperature j
has much to do with the consumption I
of the fat in the body. A large pro- j
portion of fat is needed in the winter j
time, and from this fact it is necessary !
to conclude that a wider ration is j
needed in the winter than in the sum- j
mer. Fat can be formed by both the
animal and vegetable economy. Some
have said that fat can be formed from
the proteins, while others contend that
fats are formed from the starch of the
food. \

The Only Exception.
Exchange: It is related of tlio Duch
ess of Westminister that she put in her
truest chamber a curious Swiss clock,
to which was attached a printed no
tice: ••l’leasc do not touch.” When
Mr. Jolly, the Canadian Liberal, visited
her place lie ventured to inquire the
reason for the prohibition. “You are
the twentieth umn who has asked the
question,” replied the lady gleefully.
“Women, you know, are supposed to
be proverbially curious, and 1 put that
placard on the clock to test the same
weakness in men. and 1 am happy to
say I find them not a whit less curious
than women. I keep a list of all the
gentlemen who have asked me that
question you have just put, and there
has been only one exception among all
my guests who have occupied the room,
and that was Mr. Fawcett, the late
postmaster general, and he, poor man,
was blind.”
HOW I MADE 81,900 W
By not sowing Salzer’s seeds! That is
what a jolly farmer said as he entered
our sanctum, llow is that? Why,
says he, Salzer's seeds not only grow
but they produce enormously. Hud I
planted a few acres more of his oats,
wheat, corn, potatoes, grass and clover
seeds, I would have had to double the
capacity of my barns; that would have
cost me 91,200. It is a fact that if you
want big,rousing farm, grass and vege
table crops, you must sow Salzer’s seeds.
