Dairy No I on.
Mr. A. S. Mitchell , chemist of the
Wisconsin Dairy and Food Commis
sion , cays that In most of the foiolgn
butters sent to England preservatives
are used. He expressed the belief that
American butter known to bo free from
such chemicals would find a ready sale
on the British market. The opinion ol
Mr. Mitchell should bo given weight.
People of England , asVcll as of this
cdtmtry , are opposed to having their
food doctored with borax and other
ctuff. They will gladly turn from
goods so treated'to lioods that are pure
and free from all other preservatives
than salt. '

The dairy and food' commissioner of
Minnesota lias been gathering statis
tics of the creamery Industry in that
state. He finds the state has G73
crdamerics , which represent an Invest
ment of ? 2,700,000. The number of pa
trons 6f the creameries Is given at
52,320. It is estimated that 400,000
cows supply milk'to these creameries.
Last year these creameries used 1-
SJJL',718,000 pounds of milk and made
C2,819,000 pounds of butter. Of this
amount 60,000,000 pounds was shipped
out of the state. The gross receipts
for butter sold were$10,370,000. . Oper
ating expenses were estimated at $1-
094,500 , leaving $8,510,400 to be paid to
patrons for milk. ,

A modern dairy has been started in
the Philippine islands. An Australian
recently transported fifty cows from
Australia to Manila. The cost of trans
port was more than the cost of the
cows , but the man that has the under
taking in hand will evidently make a
good thing out of it. Ho is reported
as being able to sell all the milk he
can produce at about 25 cents per
quart , United States money. The
United States hospital alone pays him
? 2,000 per month in gold. It will
doubtless bo a long time before ho has
enough competition to compel n reduc
tion of the price of milk. The people
of those islands use some milk , but it
Is the milk or the water buffalo or
caribou cow ,

The National Dairy Union Is doing
a good work in pushing Us fight for the
selling of imitation dairy products for
what they are. It set out to ralso a
fund of about ? 10,000 to carry tnc con
test into congress at the coming ses
sion. Already over $9,000 has been
raised. Every butter-maker should be
willing to do his part , and should pay
something for the benefit of this fund.
An attempt is to bo made this winter
to have a tax of 10 cents per pound
put on all butterlno colored to Imitate
butter. The uncolorecl butterlne will
be allowed to go as under the present
law. There seems no reason why this
bill should not pass. At the last ses
sion of congress it nearly became a
law , and doubtless would have done so
had not the attention of congress been
suddenly called to the necessity of pro
viding for a foreign war. The bill
will , however , bo vigorously fought by
the manufacturers of butterlne.
* *
In a recent issue the Farmers' Re
view mentioned the fact that some so-
called butter was appearing on the
Minneapolis market that had evidently
been made by the use of pepsin or
other chemicals. A report now comes
from New York city that the worthless
stuff Is appearing there. On analysis
it is found to consist of nearly half
water , and much of the rest casein ,
with comparatively little butter-fat.
In fact , it is cheese disguised as butter ,
but it is very poor cheese. A man that
will put such stuff on the market Is In
every way dishonest. He not only
cheats the buyer , but destroys the
butter market. After a man has got
a few lots of that kind of stuff ho will
turn to butterine with a sigh of relief.
Every butter-maker should wage war
on the men that make this product , for
these men are the worst enemies the
honest farmer and honest dairyman
can have. If such stuff is sold on the
market to any great extent , it will
become impossible to get any legisla
tion to control the sale of oleomarga
rine. The only thing that commission
men can do with such goods is to re
make them , and thus get out the little
butter-fat they contain.
, j
I'ouKrv Notes.
In killing poultry all unnecessary
cruelty should be avoided. One would
think such advice to bo without
cause , but it is a fact that the modern
way of bleeding the fo.vls to death
through the mouth and picking them
while they are dying Is cruel and
should bd abandoned. P. H. Jacobs
says that a blow on the head will len
der the bird uucouslcous and that the
bleeding will not thereby bo interfered
with.
If the hen gets laino and continues
so it is generally better to senu ner to
the kettle. It has been the experience
of many that a lame fowl stands round
so much that she gets fat and stops
laying. The queer thing Is. that BUG
will be found to have no signs of eggs
in her. This seems to bo duo to the
( act that the fat has increased to such
an extent that the formation of even
embryonic eggs is discontinued. Why
a fat fowl should stop forming eggs it
Is difficult to say , but It is a fact.
* * *
Now that the cooler weather of fall
has como , some of our readers will
think that It Is of no use to look for
the rod mites that are such a pest in
the poultry house. But now is the
tlmo to steal n inarch on thorn , If
you have had thorn this summer at all ,
begin n campaign against them now ,
oven though you are not able to find
one. A thorough whitewashing of the
house should cover up all mites , and
by this means perhaps you will bo able
to exterminate the last one. Many n
poultryman conducts his business for
ycais without ever having n red ml teen
on hla premises. So it is possible to
be entirely free from this pcct.
* * *
Another bad habit la reported to bo
gaining ground among shippers of
poultry the marking of tholr ship
ments at a few pounds more than they
actually weigh and demanding rohnns
from the commission man accordingly.
The commission men have found it out ,
but do not llko to refuse to make re
turns according lo markings , for fear
of losing customers. If the habit 13
not abandoned it will simply lead to
the commlslson men getting even with
the shippers by some smart practices ,
for which they have abundant oppor
tunity. In n game of this kind the
Shipper Is certainly not in a position
to beat the middleman , and ho had
better give it up. It moreover partakes
of the character of a dishonest act and
will not pay in the long run. What wo
want In the whole commission business
Is strict honesty in dealing , and wo
have oven had laws passed ito force the
commission men to bo honest. It is
not wise for the shipper to thus set
the commission man an example in
dishonesty.
* * *
There Is no money in the .poultry
business without work. In many cases
it requires more than work study.
The man that expects to keep a largo
flock of hens by simply having good
houses and yards will fail. He cannot
am a flock of 100 or 200 hens by just
running out in the morning , tin owing
out a few measures of grain , giving
them a supply of J-water and going
away at the same qujck-stcp at which
he came. That may work for awhile ,
but he will soon find cither that his
fowls are not doing well or that they
are dying off from some mysterious
disease. A man will simply get pay
for- - the time ho puts In and not for
time that ho spends at other affairs.
A man who attempts to keep 100 hens
will bo surprised at the amount of
tjme It takes him. each day to look
after them. When it , is not one thing
to use up his time it is another. But
there is money In poultry fov the man
who expects to attend to It us he would
expect to attend to any other kind of
uusincss.
* * t
We see that a writer In a noted poul
try Journal attacks the feeding of sour
milk to fowls. The article starts out
with almost a promise of proving that
sour mllU Is a detriment to the health
of the ( fowls , but ends up with the ad
vice to feed the milk mixed with the
ground food. The chief argument Is
that when the milk is fed in bulk the
hens and chicles get wet In It and then
get covered with dirt and flies , on ac
count of which they present a very
sorry appearance. One would think , to
hear the argument , that there was no
possible way of feeding milk to fowls
without doing so in a way that would
permit thorn to bath in It at the same
time. But experienced poultry raisers
know a good many ways to prevent
such an episode. The writer feeds sour
milk to his hens In large quantities.
Ho does so by feeding in a largo pan ,
only an edge of which is in the poultry
yard. The fowls can come and drink
at leisure and at will , but they get no
chance to bathe in the milk. The
ground around docs not become soiled
and filthy as the writer In the con
temporary complained. The , milk is
eaten with avidity and wo have never
been able to detect any but good re
sults from its use.
niiirkotd for Dairy I'roductfl.
Secretary Wilson of the department
of agriculture is reported as saying :
"Tho people in the Mississippi val-
Jey are alive to the new markets In
the Pacific for their products. That
wo may be doing something along this
line the agricultural department has
sent an agent to China to establish
agencies for tile sale of our dairy prod
ucts. Wo find that this Puget Sound
section imports dairy products from
the Mlssibslppl valley. One object of
my present visit , therefore , Is to en
courage your dairymen to prepare
not only to supply their market , but
thq greater market which is opening
up in the Pacific. Good butter , neatly
tinned , brings thirty to forty cents a
pound over there. Wo of the Missis
sippi valley have concluded that a
great change is coming. Our great
markets will bo to the west rather
than to the cast. "
Demand for Texas Feeders. The
cattle ranges in Texas have not been
in such excellent condition as now for
very many yems , and as a result the
Texas gras -fat cattle are going to
market in fine condition and ate bring
ing prices that are pleasing to ship
pers. Those that are held to bo fed
or to be sold to feeder-buyers will go
into the feed lots in better condition
than udual. AS there-is absolutely
nothing to indicate that { there will bo
any decline Jn prices and there is an
abundance of cheap feed-stuffs in all
the states where feeding Is done , there
may bq expected.an ; unusually strong
demand for feedprs. The ' supply frpm
Texas will , of course , 'bo principally
young stuff. In Texas there will prob
ably bo more feeding than was done
last season , and more corn will be fed
than in any former feeding perlod.-r-

"Ono hundred members of the Cana

grateful to the Canadian Pacific Rail
way Company for the unremitting cour
tesy and hospitality which has made
their trip across the continent the most
interesting and pleasant of all their
outings. Th'ough ' conscious of the
sterling work accomplished In the
spanning of a continent , for a largo
part remote from settlement , and in
the opening up of a territory as vaat na
some empires , the actual view unfolded
on the Joiirncy 1ms Impressed the ex
cursionists more forcibly than word ?
can represent. The development all
along the route , in cities as well as in
agricultural and grazing suctions , has
surprised us , nnd is most encduragiiig
to lovers of solid progress and hopeful
prosperity. The case and comfort with
which the trip from ocean to ocean is
attended in the cars and In the C. P. R.

anywhere , is a triumph for Canadian
skill and enterprise second only to the
financial and engineering victories at
tained in the building1 of the greatest
