Dlgcstlve Power of the Cow.
The power of the cow to take and
dlgost largo quantities of food regu.
lates to a consldorahlo degree her
value In the tlalry. 'rho emall eater
Is of lIttle value , as It Is Imposslblo
for her to malte milk , and Corco ener.
gy nnd milk out of food that can.
talns too lIttle of the clements for
torco and mille mnldng. In nIl cases
n largo eater Is wanted. The largo
enter will have 0. tlopth of body not
seen In the small eators. The breadth
of the bOdy will also bo moro than
that of cows thnt are small producers
of mille. In the same connection , wo
may sny that the hody must also bo
laDg' . It Is not enough that the cow
have 0. deep antl wldo paunch If it Is
short. With these go the fitrong jaws.
which must be strong to mastlcato the
amount of food the anhnals requlro
to flll the largo cavity of the stom.
ach. The greatest number IC good
feetlers have marl\Od tlepth of body ,
and the ribs are what we can well ,
sprung. This means that the ribs
nre not hont tlown In such a way as
to decrease the slzo of the abdominal
cavity , No matter what the temper' ,
ament of a cow may be , If she have
not the power to digest oaslly a great
quantity of food. she will be of little
use as a mille producer. Ono of the
best mille cows the write. . . ever knew
had this great power of digesting
feed to a romarltablo degroe. : : ; ho
had powerful jaws antl a big paunch.
Nothing seemed to bo able to put her
off her feed. She could fill up with

"You'ro a dead cow , " for ho thought
that a cow stuffed so full of dry
ground feed as she was would cer.

think otherwlso aud proceeded to dl.

Pu'bllc Opinion on Milk.
The matter of public opinIon Is a
largo ono when It relates to the milk
tramc , We must have a higher level
of r qulrements for mille If we are to
have better milk produced and sold.
'l'ho public must bo educated to refuse
any except a perfectly pure milk , antl
must be also educated to the point or
paying for that mille what it costs
more than the mille that Is now being
sold , which has a low average as to
cleanliness , At different times , talle.
Ing with largo producers oC milk and
butter , they have deprecated the agi.
tatlon of the subject , for they have
said thnt If the public found out how
( lIrty the mille really Is they would re'
fuse to use It and that would hurt the ;
milk trade. Dut thnt Is not the effect
of a proper enlightenment of the public -
lic on the matter. Once the public
comes to understand that the mm
for which they pay a certain prlco Ie
low In freedom from dirt they wU :
demand a milk that Is clean antl wU
bo willing to pay for It. That Is the
course as It worls Itself out In prac
tice. As public opinion rises the qual
Ity of the mille also rises , for the mer
that sell dirty mille find that they can

Corn Pollen.
Every partlclo of pollen Is a minute
germ that Is meant to fertlllzf. ! the
cavity at the end of the corn silk and
thus 9roduco 0. Iernel of corn. The
pollen Is not In Itself n seed , but Is
the germ oC a seett. 'rho number at
pollen grains berne on a slnglo corn
tassel Is surprising. On the' basllJ 01
counting 0. largo part , it has been recle.
oned that each tassel , or rather call
lectlon of tassels , on a corn stallc , hat
about 50 million grains. Tll1lE1 na'
turo prepares to have most of her ef
fort wasted. There are prohably nol
moro than a thousand lernels on tlll !
ordinary ear of corn , and this would :
glvo 50,000 grains af pollen for each ;
} wrnel. In other words nature sup.
plies the pollen so abundantly that
nearly all may he wasted and yer
enough bo left to do the work at
fructifying the cavities that are tG
produce aeed. The necessity for this
grent was to Is seen In the methodS
used to pollenlzo the sllles. The wln
Is the chief carrier. Dut many tlmeg
the wlnl1 Is blowIng the pollen awa )
from the silk Instead of towatds : It
It Is only the occasional breeze thai
carries the pollen to the place wher
It may be useful ; yet so great Is the
supply that a slnglo zephyr may wart
enough to the silk to fructify th
whole clump , This abundance of pol
len also helps to cross fertlllzo the
corn , and It Is probably the rule that
most of the kernels have heen dovel.
oped from germs berne from other
stalks rather than from the stalles on
which the particular car greW' . ThIs
Is the moro Hleely to be the case ror
the reason that the wind Is generally
blowing the pollen away from the
stallt on which It Is berne and to the
silk of some neighboring stallt. Thus
nature provides against selHertlllza'
tlon. which seems to bo abhorrent to
the general plan of llfe production ,
Pollen Is blown to considerable dls ,
tancos , If wo may jUdge of the results -
sults obtained. Some time ago we
heard of a man that had a very fine
strain of sweet corn , which brought
him a good prlco when sold green In
the market , Ho would not sell the
seed , and as It had been bred up by
hlmselt , no other person could et It.
To be sure that hIs seed did net KGt
Into the hands of anyone Qlao. he
planted his corn on an Island In a
rIver. Dut a neighbor was smart
enough to plant his corn on the river
bank opposite the sweet corn. Th
sweet corn was white and the 'other
was the yellow field corn , He rightly
judged that some of the million 01
grains of pollen would reach his field ,
In the fall when ho gathered his yel' '
low corn he found many white kernelE
scattered among the ears. These h (
plclted out and planted the next yeal
with the result that he had the samE
variety of corn as his neighbor , HE
had stolen the variety , but In 11 man
ner entirely legal.
The Silk of Corn.
Corn sllle has recolved consldorabll
attention from our corn scientists. I'
Is a somewhat unusual manlfestaUOJ
of nature , the cnvlty to bo fertlllze (
I by the pollen sending out this lonl
SIllCY messenger to guldo the pollOI
grain to its goal. The growth anI
development of the sllle bears an 1m
portant relationship to the crop a
corn that Is to be harvested , The sUI
at the butt of the car appears firs
and Is the longest , as It must gra\ '
the whole length of the cob to get tl
. the light at all. Yet it does this ani
. Is waiving In the air cntchlng the po :
lIen before the tip silks have appoare
- The butt cavities or ovaries are then
fore the flrst to be fertilized. It 1
generally boHoved that the shorter th
oar the moro Hlcoly It Is to bo CO\
ered with kernels , as the longer th
ear the later w111 the tip sllles be I
I. getting out to the light where the
can bo of service , For this reaso
the tips of long enrs are froquent1
found with no Iwrnels on them. Th
silks did not get out till acter th
stalls had ceased shedding pollen. J
an car of corn that Is sondlng at
silk bo covered with a long paper fUI
nol , the sUI. will continuo to grow i
length till It has attained a length e
twenty Inches or mpre. At tha low
station nn car of corn treated In tIll
way seemed to despair of getting po
len and sent out two new ears nor
its base ; and these two new enrs d
voloped a good mnss of silk. TIJ
falling oC the pollen on the silk Is fa
lowed b ' the grains being conve'c
to the ovaries , nftor the completlc
of which worlt the sllle dies.
