IT A CHEESEMAK
ers' convention In
Wisconsin, Prof.
W. A. Henry said:
Canada has built
up a most enviable
reputation, und I
don't wonder that
wo are almost Jea
lous, because they
have taken It away
Iron) us In part; we
have lost that repu
canon tnrougn me nnrrow-minu
cdacaa of certain factory men;
cro kave lost the trade of 35,000,000 of
ioonsumors across tlio water. Well,
what shall we do about It? Cry over
It? Not at all. Let us take a lesson
from our neighbors, then let us turn
right around and say, “Where Is the
market?" Granted that we have lost
tho English market, In part, is there
any other place where we can put our
cheese? Why, bless your soul, there are
*5,000,000 of people right around us.
Which would you rather have, 05,000,
*00 American people to feed cheese to,
cr 35,000,000 Britishers? A gentleman
cams to me this morning and said: “I
have got a cheese in my store and I
Want It analyzed. I believe It is filled
cheese; It Is no good.” Another one
caasa to me last fall, and said: “What
Caa be the matter with all the cheese?"
tie sent in and described It and It was
ctdently filled cheese. I told him it
Was, and that I was afraid It came from
Illinois or Wisconsin. Every day, al
most, we hear of examples of this kind;
the country Is flooded with them. How
long can business be run on those prin
clplea and succeed? How long can peo
fls who are catering to others keep
them from eating good cheese? Wo are
tarnishing such poor stuff that nobody
la going to cat It. It won't take long
to crowd tho cheese off our tables en
tirely with other kinds of foods. Now,
let ns eater for the home trade. Why,
Wisconsin cannot begin to supply those
*5,000,000 of people with cheese. Wis
consin, Itself, could eat quite a large
part of all the cheese she now makes.it
•nr people were properly educated and
had the right cheese. I have people
items to me every day and tell me they
to wish they could get a piece of good
cheese. Retween feeding our people
calls and spurious food, we have pretty
■early killed off the demand.
j| We now have things headed In the
right direction; We have a dairy school
s* Madison, which, I hope. Is doing
some good; we have better laws on our
ctatute books; we have our organiza
tions; before me are lots of young men
tall of the desire to do something bet
Jter; full of the desire to better them
selves by bettering tho business la
jwhlch they are engaged. Now, I ap
peal to those young men to stand to
gether firmly for honesty. Begin by
doubling up your factories, so that
’there arc fewer of them with more milk
to work up.
i We must begin to run our factories In
m more cleanly way. The truth Is, we
pro awfully dirty. A gentleman told
pi about buying a factory up north,
rWhere he had to tear up the floor and
■craps out over one foot of solid dirt,
which was filled with putrefying mat
tar, and carry It off and dump It Into
toldo and haul In clean earth, bofore
Me could start hta factory. You all
know that there is lots of filth in tho
taetorlea. We had a number of Ger
man and Russian professors brought
■ ever here by the World’s Fair, and
they were simply disgusted with our
American methods. They had heard
■tout our American factories and ev
pected to find something fine, but in
stead of ghat they found little dirty
■beds.
I'eedlns the Hen.
To keep a hen In good condition for
lading she should never have a full
during the day. It Is not wrong
give a light meal of mixed food,
in the morning, In the trough,
tat ouch meal should be only one
fburth the quantity the hens require.
They should go away from the trough
’Wmatisfled, and should then seek their
4ood, deriving It grain by grain, en
jgaging in healthy exercise In order to
«btain it, and in such circumstances
the food will be passed into the giz
aard slowly, and the better digested,
gradually the hen will accumulate
anffleient food to provide for the night,
going on the roost with a full crop,
where she can leisurely forward it
from the crop to the gizzard. Feed
ing soft food leads to ihany errors on
■m part of the beginner, causing him
la overfeed and pamper his hens, and
ky it they will reach a condition
(hat te entirely antagonistic to laying.
It is much better to feed hard grains
only than to feed from a trough, un
las the soft food is carefully measured,
fit quart of mixed, ground grain, moist
wand and in a crumbly condition,
atauld be sufficient for forty hens as a
^starter” tor the morning, but two
Wparta of whole grain should then be
■nattered in litter for them to seek and
for themselves.—Ex.
Our Dairy Interest*.
The dairying interest of the United
■tattx has grown to be one of great
■njgnitude. The home value of the but
jbwr and cheese product, exclusive of the
mine of buttermilk, skimmed milk,
|Mhey and other residuum, amounted In
fl» census year of 1S90 to about $237,
«000, of which amount about $21G,
000 were for butter. Of the total
umber of pounds of butter produced
but 2.47 per cent was exported, while
■t the total quantity of cheese made 37
per cent was exported. The consump
tion of cheese per capita of the popuia
itton in the United States was 2.74
ds In 1870, 2.30 pounds in 18S0, and
pounds In 1890. The consump
of butter per capita increased from
pounds in 1870 and 15.3 pounds in
to 18.77 pounds in 1S90. It will as
the average dairyman to know
while over 90 per cent of the
is made in factories, only 15
oent of the butter product of 1S89
made in factories, and in spite of
development of the creamery busl
■, since it is probable that not over
-fourth, or at most one-third, of the
product of the past year was
on farnub ,
In 1880 thero were 3,982 butter nf.il
cbeese factories In the United States,
employing n capital of $9,605,000, and
the total value of their product
was $25,713.U00, or $2.68 for each
dollar of capital employed. In
1890 there were 4,552 factories.
Including condensed milk factor
ies, with a capital of $16,017,000, pro
ducing products valued at $00,630,000,
of $3.78 of products for each dollar of
capital invested. The value of the
condensed milk was $3,586,927, of
which amount Illinois produced $2,012,
5oo, New York $1,227,714, Michigan,
$327,873, and Rhode Island $21,840.
The total product of butter amount
ed, in 1890, to 1,205,508,000 pounds, of
which amount 24 per cent was made
in the north Atlantic division, 7 per
cent In the south Atlnntlc states, 54 per
cent In the north central group, 11 per
cent In the south central division, and 4
per cent In the western division. Only
181,000,000 pounds of butter were made
In factorleo in the last census year, or
less than 15 per cent, the rest being
made in farm dairies.
A Cheap Poultry House.
In these days of advancement every
farmer nea.iy ip paying more atten
tion to poultry than formerly. The
necessity for a good serviceable chicken
house becomes more apparent to the
farmer the more he investigates the
Bubject. Those that can afford to build
quite expensive houses should do so,
and will find that it will be a pay
ing investment. By “quito expensive”
we mean having ail the adjuncts that
tend to make the fowls comfortable,
and with the very best of modern ar
rangements for the floors, roosts, doors,
windows, runs and fences.
Many farmers, however, will not af
ford such houses, and some cannot. For
such we give an illustration showing
one that may be built at very small
cost. It is supposed to be large enough
only to accommodate 20 fowls. The
materials for this, with the exception
of the sash, cost less than $4. The
structure is nine feet wide, twelve feet
long, and five feet high. The short side
of the roof is two feet long, and the
long side, which fronts south and comes
to within eighteen inches of the ground,
is seven feet. At the further end the
roof boards extend over an opening
made for the fowls to pass In and out.
The perches are one foot above tne
floor and extend along the north side
of the interior. The bottom board on
that side is hung with hinges so it
c^n be raised, and the droppings under
the perches scraped out. The nest
boxes are ranged along the low side,
the dust box is placed In the sunniest
spot, and the feed and water troughs
near the door. One pane of glas3 in
the sash Is loose, so it may be moved
down for ventilation. The floor should
be covered by sand when obtainable, it
not, with straw, chaff, or other like
material that can be raked out when
soiled. The whole interior should be
given a coat of fresh lime whitewash
at least four times a year, and the
perches swabbed with kerosene. This
poultry house is easily cleaned, and
answers the purpose nearly as well as
one costing twenty times as much.
How Do Fowls Roost?
Do fowls read the weather? An
old' Pennsylvania farmer says they
do. Have any of our readers no
ticed such facts as he states In the fol
lowing:
“I always know when there Is to be a
windstorm by watching the turkeys
and chickens go to roost each night. In
calm weather the fowls always roost
on their poles with their heads alter
nating each way; that Is, one faces east,
tho next west, and so on. But when
there Is going to be a high wind they
always roost with their heads towards
the direction from which it is coming.
There are reasons for these different
ways of roosting, I take It. When there
is no wind to guard against they can
see'other danger more readily if they
are headed in both directions, but when
wind is to arise they face it because
they can hold their positions better.
But the part I can't understand," he
concluded, “is how the critters know
that the wind Is going to rise when we
mortals lack all intimation of it.”—Ex.
Ciulneas.
These should not be kept for market,
as they rarely sell at a price that will
pay for shipping them, although they
are a good table fowl and especially for
any one that is fond of wild game.
They are most profitable for eggs, as
after they begin to lay in the spring
will lay regularly, at a time when it is
usually desirable to use a considerable
number of hen egg3 for hatching.
The eggs are smaller, but the shells
are thicker and harder to break and the
egg itself is richer in nutriment, in pro
portion to its size, so that in market
they sell at the same price.
Guineas are very tender when small
and require the very best of treatment
until they get well started to growing,
After they get well feathered they will
take care of themselves better than
any other poultry on the farm, and for
this reason they will in a majority of
cases be found profitable.—American
Grange Bulletin.
Should Have a Few Sheep.—Every
farm, if it is but a dozen acres,
should have its few sheep, and a small
orchard grass pasture for them to run
in. This grass is the earliest of all and
will afford a full bite a month before
timothy is available. As this grass
has a very loose open growth it is well
to sow the small red clover with it.
Mutton is becoming more and more
popular, and the small flock will sup
ply the farm home with tho most ac
ceptable meat, after the poultry. The
farm meat clubs will be found very con
venient for the disposal nf mutton, for
four families can*easily consume a
mutton carcass in the warmest part of
the summer, and by interchange among
each other the few' members may be
always supplied with fresh meat of the
finest quality and at the very cheapest
rate.—Ex.
Dairymen have to avoid labor bills
. as far as possible, as help eats up the
profits. Hands that are hired by the

Dover for Fnttenlnar Hofi,
To the Farmers’ Review: I have
Just been reading an Irticle, in your
issue of May 1, on summer feeding of
hogs, that seems to me to be a little
misleading. What is said about the
advantages of feeding in mild weather
and that the most profit comes from
hog feeding when they are given all
they will consume, and all of that is
undoubtedly true. But that they will
get very much benefit from pasture
grass whon fed grain to the extent rec
I unintended it seems to me to be quite
I doubtful. Indeed, my experience has
been that when hogs are fed about all
the grain they will eat, they will eat
but very little grass of any kind. Of
course they will eat some, for hogs,
like all other animals, like a variety of
food, but they will eat most of what
they like best, and that is the grain.
What grass they will eat when fed all
the grain they want will be beneficial;
it will stimulate the appetite and aid
their digestion, but they won't eat
enough of the grass to add much to
their weight from it.
My experience has been that to get
the most growth on hogs from grazing,
they should be fed a little grain once a
day, fed at night and as nearly as pos
sible at the same hour. They soon come
to look for their grain feed only at the
regular time and will not hang around
waiting for It at any other time. I am
aware that a good many hog raisers
claim that hogs will do better on grass
not to be fed any grain. (I mean when
grass is to be the main feed.) But that
has not been my experience. I think
they will do much better If fed a little
dry corn with the grass.
l wonaer now many nog growers win
Indorse my statement that more growth
can be made on hogs (ot the right kind)
on an acre of clover than can be from
one acre of corn?
Prof. Sanborn, formerly of the Agri
cultural College of Kansas, claims to
have made 800 pounds of pork from one
acre of clover. I have never made as
much as that, but I have made 600
pounds and that is more than the aver
age feeder will make from an acre of
corn. I am talking now about a good
growth of clover and a good crop of
corn; 50 bushels of shelled corn to the
acre Is a good crop, and the average
feeder won’t make over ten pounds of
pork to the bushel of corn. Possibly
there are some that would make more
than 10 pounds, but there are a good
many more that would make less, bo
that the clover is ahead at my figures.
I have all of the years planned to have
a clover field for my hogs to run In
and have always thought I got good
pay, but I never have but once known
just what I was doing.
In the spring of 1885 I bought 50
shoats that averaged 100 pounds. I
turned them Into an eight-acre clover
field about the 1st of May as soon as the
clover was up, so that they could get a
good bite. And I want to say Just hero
that I think a good many make the
mistake of letting the clover get too
large before they turn onto It. Turn
In as soon as It gets fairly started and
then if it is a fairly growing season
the clover will be likely to outgrow the
hogs. I kept those hogs in that field
of clover and sold them the 15th day
of September, and their average weight
was 225 pounds.
They were fed In addition to the
clover one pound of shelled corn to the
hog per day (by weight). They had
free access to salt and wood ashes (in
equal parts), mixed, kept in a trough
under a shed so it would not waste by
the rain. They had good clean water
when they wanted It. An automatic ar
rangement kept their trough full, with
slats across the top so that they could
not get into it and foul it. That was all
the feed they got and as before stated
they gained 125 pounds. The 25 pounds
tuny paid lor me corn tney were iea,
leaving 100 pounds to the credit of the
clover. The clover was the common
medium red. If I was going to seed a
field for a hog pasture to-day I should
mix the seed equal parts medium red
and aisikc. It will make a more dur
able pasture and makes variety, which
the hogs like. One thing more: Suc
cess often comes from attention to lit
tle things. The corn fed these hogs
was not put in a trough or In a pile so
they could gobble a mouthful of it and
swallow it whole, but it was scattered
so they had to pick it up slowly and so
of course they would chew it much bet
ter and get a good deal more from it. I
see that I have said above that to get
the most out of clover for pork-mak
ing one must have the right kind of
hogs. I do not mean by that any par
ticular breed, but hogs of suitable age,
and by the way this is one item on the
wrong side of the ledger when we come
to strike the balance on clover-grown
pork. Shoats must be five or six
months old, before they will do their
best on clover. And this means winter
ing them, which, as a rule, I do not con
sider profitable. I have for a good
many years wintered only my breeding
stock. I bought the 50 in the experi
ment reported. I have made the most
money when I fed my hogs so that they
were ready for the market at from five
to eight months old. S. Favill.

Value of Mixed Feeds.—The wise
dairyman will always strive to furnish
a variety of feed to his cows. Further
than that he will also strive to have
each kind of food cut and cured in its
most palatable state, for he knows that
to have the food palatable—“taste well"
—is a very profitable feature to him.
There 13 something a little strange
about the value of mixed feeds. For
instance, when fed to pigs of 100 to 125
pounds weight, a bushel of shelled corn
will produce ten pounds of gain, and
100 pounds of skim-milk will produce
five pounds of gain. That means that
when fed separately the two feeds will
produce fifteen pounds of growth. Now
mix the two feeds, the corn meal and
the sweet skim-milk, and they will
produce eighteen pounds of gain. Such
at least has been the result of repeated
experiments.
Missouri Anti-OIeo Bill a l,aw.—
The welcome news has been tele
graphed to St. Louis and heralded to
1 the whole dairy world that Governor
Stone has signed the anti-oleo bill and
that the same has become the law of
Missouri. Thus one by one do the
great states fall into line and adopt
measures to restrict to its native and
legitimate domain this gross fraud up
on the* community, and so far at least
give to the people a pure food bill.

The following table shows the
monthly receipts of the treasury since
the enactment of the McKinley law,
and will enable the reader to see at a
glance what the workings of the Mc
Kinley and Wilson laws have been. He
will see that from the enactment of the
McKinley law until the meeting (Au

whose mission was the destruction of
the tariff, the receipts seldom fell be
low $30,000,000 a month, never as low
as $35,000,000. The moment that con
gress met, however, the receipts
dropped to the unprecedentedly low
figure of $23,890,885, and in the twelve
months that congress was considering
the tariff continued at unprecedentedly
low figures. He will further observe
that, low as those figures were, they
are far surpassed In their unsatisfac
tory showing by the receipts under the
new law, and that no eight months’
period in the entire history of the Mc
Kinley law has produced such small
receipts as the eight months of the
new law, nor can any month be found

Goods In Bond.
We have given from time to time,
and will continue to do so, as complete
details of the workings of the Gorman
tariff as it is possible to secure, but
manufacturers and wage earners should
bear in mind that there Is always a
considerable quantity of foreign goods
in bond at the close of each month that
are waiting to be sold In our markets
over and above the actual imports that
have been entered for consumption. At
the close of last March the total value
of these goods amounted to $31,431,128,
the principal items being as follows:
Articles. Value.

In the textile trades the manufac
turers of woolen goods, silk and cotton
goods have an idea of the extent of the
foreign competition that they must ex
pect to meet every month, over and
above the actual quantity of goods that
have' been sold In the market. The
manufacturers of tin plate, too, will
note that at the end of March the quan
tity of plate in bond was worth $614,
506. The rice growers of the South will
find that there was a large quantity of
foreign rice waiting to depress the
value of the home product, and the
same is true in the cases of glass and
glassware, earthen, stone and china
ware and gloves. The supply of to
bacco leaf in bond seems to be inex
haustible and gives no promise of bet
ter prices for the American tobacco
crop to American farmers.—American
Economist.
Free-Trade Kind nf Reciprocity
The American cattle grower who is a
Democrat can now have an object les
son of Democratic practice more forci
ble than any mere theory could bring
to him. By reason of the scarcity of
cattle ^hJerican growers were about to
receive fair prices for their stock, but
Secretary Morton tobk it into his head
to interfere, and in order to knock
down the price, under pretense of fight
ing the dressed beef trust, he ordered
that Imports of Mexican cattle be per
mitted. Forty thousand of these are
now coming in. The beef trust prompt
ly takes them and keeps up the price
of dressed beef precisely as before, but
uses the Mexican cattle importations
to depress the price of cattle on the
hoof. The Mexican cattleman is de
lighted, the dressed beef trust is helped,
the administration is happy—but what
about the American cattle grower?—
Tribune, Salt Lake, Utah, April 29,1895.
Labor In Cheaper.
Democratic papers are taking much
pains to tell the laboring man how
much cheaper everything is nowadays
and what bargains he can have if he
will only pitch in and buy. And all
this owing to the Wilson tariff hill.
The thoughts of the workingmen when
they read such stuff can best be in
ferred from the reply which one of
them made to a man advancing a sim
ilar argument. Said this latter to the
laborer: “Jack, you had saved up some
money, why don’t you go to work and
put up a home of your own? Why,
man, you never could build as cheap
as you can now, ever since the Wilson
bill is in effect.” Answered the labor
ing man: “Yes, d—n the Wilson bill.
I have been out of a lob ever since it
was passed and my savings are gone.”
—The Burlington Hawkeye, April 24.
1895.
Farmers Are Neglected.
We have not heard anything of the
benefit of the Gorman tariff to the
American farmer who grows hay, but
would draw his attention to the fact
that last March we imported 2G.718 tons
of foreign hay, as against 8,577 tons
imported in March, 1894. During the
nine months ending April last we
bought almost 90,000 tons more of for
eign hay than a year earlier, over halt
sent out of the country. How does this
benefit the American farmer?
About (.loves.
The manufacturers of American kid,
or other gloves made of leather, must
be having a lively time of it in meet
ing the foreign competition. In March
our imports of gloves were valued at
$764,599, as against imports worth only
$322,872 in March. 1894. During the
nine months ending March 31, 1895. the
increased value paid for foreign glovss
was $1,100,000.
