In view of the fact that the Presi

and that the Commissioners publicly
call for suggestions in the matter it
is a fit subject for public discussion.
In !the interest of inventors and

not be well to repeal Sec. 4902 of the
Revised Statutes and also that part of
Sec. 4934 that demands a fee of S1G

"Wb&i all 'factors are taken into ac
count, tt can easily be seen that A
possible effect of the food en IhS milk
mast be reduced tt) ti very small pro
portiot Itr4ceu, writes P. McConnell in
Agricultural Gazette, England. It is
of course acknowledged that the
amount of food, and the richness of
the same, influence the Quantity of the
milk, and that this influence is imme
diate, and it has been shown thai the
nature of the food has a very great
influence on the percentage of cream
which can be taken off milk by the
bHs fiat pan system; or the proportion
of butter which can be made out of a
given tiuantlVy of milk; by even the
ssoSt modern appliances; but this in
fluence operates actually, witnbut in
fluencing the linfTysis of the milk it
elf. The amount of cream thrown up
ih milk is such a misleading guide
that it has long ago been given up in
the milking tests of the British Dairy
Farmers' Association, and .we now de
pend on ttn analysis alone, while
AmeTcan experiments have shown
Ihat in the amount of butter which can
be recovered from a given quantity of
milk there may be a variation cf as
much as 50 per cent, depending on the
nature of the food given, while all the
while the analyses of two differing
taiiks may be approximately alike; in
'other words, as I have often explained
before, the "risibility" of the cream
ani the "churnability" of the same
are largely influenced by the nature of
the food, while the chemical analysis
of the milk is not influenced at all, or
only to a slight degree, br temporarily.
The whole question, to my mind,
harrows itself dowh to one point; giv
en that the proper average food for a
tow weighing 1,000 pounds is 25
pounds of dry matter, having an albu
minoid ratio of 1:5.5, can I whilst
still maintaining the 25 pounds of total
solids by alternating the albuminoid
ratio also alter the proportion of fat
in the milk? That Is to say. if I feed
a cow in the proportion of 1:6, as
against 1:4, do I make a corresponding
difference in the percentage of butter
fat in the milk yielded? I say no. My
opponents say yes. In reply I ask for
evidence that my statement is wrong,
and, hitherto, none has been forthcom
ing. The only experiments carried out
in this country bearing on this partic
ular point that are of any Importance,
so far as I know, are those of Mr.
Spier, as detailed in the Transactions
of the Highland and Agricultural So
ciety ot Scotland, and they decidedly
bear out my contention. On the other
hand, hundreds, perhaps 1 may say
thousands, of experiments have been
carried out in America by many agri
cultural colleges and experimental sta
tions, and Professor Henry, in his re
cent work, sums up the results in fa
vor of my contention. The Vernon
experiments, carried out by Mr. Lloyd
some ten years ago, did not bear on
this point at oil, and, indeed, were
carried out for another purpose alto
gether, but, incidentally, prove my
theory. Further, this theory was enun
ciated by Kuhn, in Germany, more
than five and twenty years ago, while
it is how eight years since I first got
my faith shaken in the old belief, and
had to reconstruct my creed in the
matter. I am open to accept evidence
on the point, when such is forthcom
ing, but all the evidence known to me
oh this point of any value bears out
my theory. The point is of great prac
tical importance, because it is known
and acknowledged that the albuminoid
material in the food gbes directly to
the production of fat in the milk, and,
as albuminoid material is the dearest
kind of food that we can buy in the
market, if we can reduce the amount
necessary to keep a cow in full bearing
condition, we are reducing the cost of
.her feeding; as when we substitute
such cheaper foods as maize meal, mid
dlings and eo on.
Some one may suggest that, if an an
imal getting food in the proportion of
1:6 is doing well enough, why not re
duce it to 1:10 or more, or, if the ani
mal yields richer milk by getting 1:4,
why not increase it by 1:2. The reply
Js, that when you depart, either up
or down, too far away from the aver
age standard, you introduce a new fac
tor, namely, the health of the animal;
nnd this, itself, will have a great in
fluence on the quality as well as the
quantity of milk. If tbe food is ex
cessively rich, or excessively poor, the
digestive organs of the cow will be
upset, and dietetic diseases cf various
sorts, such as indigestion, bile, and
even hunger, show themselves, and
these directly affect the milk yield.
One does not break with the beliefs
of his youth very easily, and I have
been hard to convince, myself, that
the quality of tbe milk did not directly
depend on the quality of the food; but
when ail the experiments that have
actually been tried on the point bear
out the new theory, and when all the
ordinary beliefs of the practical man
can be explained away under one or
ether of the above influences, and
when no experiments are forthcoming
which actually do prove this alleged
Influence on the milk, then I am bound
to come to the conclusion that the
quality of the food, by itself alone, has
little or nothing to do with the qual
ity of the milk.
Dorking- aad Indian Game Crow.
I do not think it matters in the least
what hens are selected from the Dor
kins for breeding table fowls so long
as they are cf good shape and are i-x
such store condition as to ensure their
being healthy and capable of breeding
healthy chickens. It is true enough
that some Dorkings may be picked out
In preference to others It "tip-top"
quality be desired, says a writer "in
Farm and Home of England. For ex
ample, If there be a "best breed" of
table fowls In our country It must be
the rose-combed white Dorking. The
quality of the meat cannot be surpass
ed, the color of the flesh is exceedingly
good, the shape of the fowl cannot be
improved upon, and the size is suffi
ciently large without any tendency to
coarseness. The weak point of the
breed Is its delicacy of constitution,
but if this can be overcome by select
ing really robust specimens there can
not be a better bird to mate with the
Indian Game cock. There are, of
course, hardy white Dorkings and
hardy silver grey or colored Dorkings,
but I should not expect to find tbsm
in exhibition yards. The eggs from
this cress should certainly be eood for
incubator hatching, provided they are
fresh, for no breed is more prolific
than the Indian Game cock when thev
are really fertile. Dorkings are epr-
talnly not adapted for a clay soil, but
the halt-bred chickens would be an
lmnrovement in this recruit mi
should answer if reasonable precau-'i
tloas are takes.- I should tot
the Dorking the best fowl tor kMftmt
In conaaemeat, but there is no reason
why they shoald not thrive if a tabs
tlaed rut can be guaraned. . t Sire
known Dorkings to do well under, such
circumstances. As to the length 6t
time strong chickens can, be looked tor
when the breeding pen h.beea5siade
Wp six fcponlha, much depends upon the
composition of the Individual pen. For
.instance, if .the, bens are of a non-slt-tlng
breed, and are therefore practical
ly only layers for eight months in the
year, I should expect the chickens to
fall off in constitution as the summer
advances. Supposing, however, the
hens are of a sitting type, the case
would be different At the conclusion
of each batch ot eggs there. would be
a slight rest, either to remain broody
upon the nest br td fear chickens or
ducklings, and there cannot be a doubt
thai this rest wbuid tend 16 strengthen
the chicks which, might be, hatched
from the hifst batch of eggi The germs,
too; wb'uid b'e' naturally stronger bwlng
to the fact that the suspension of lay
ing or the temporary removal of tiie
hens, would lessen for fe time., the de
mand upofl the services of the male
bird. But when all has been said upon
this point it cannot be denied that the
best plan of ensuring really strong
chickens is to take care that the mae
birds should be rested notf and again.
a.njifthe hens shall be .selected so thatr
the, eggs for sitting purposes snan m
those which are first laid after a pe
riod of rest. With reference to a cross
for table purposes between a golden
Wyandotte cock and Langshan hens,
if the chickens are desired for home
use the cross would answer, for the
bird3 would be of a good size; if, how
ever, the chicks are to be bred for sale,
I' should seek for something less coarse
than the Wyandotte, say an active Dor
king, Houdan, Indian or old English
game, or even the Leghorn.
Pigs and Weeds.
A few days ago, while on institute
work in Minnesota, the editor ot this
department visited a pen containing
a sow and five pigs. A glance showed
that the animals were not in good
condition; that they were, in fact, in
a fair way to demonstrate that, the
owner was a vicim of bad luck (?) ih
his hog department , They,. were be
ing fed corn and slops from the house,
says the "Farm, Stock and Home."
Constipation, poor digestion and other
disorders were indicated by a certain
dull, spiritless appearance, a want of
thrift, and other conditions. Growing
hard by the pen was a mass of pig
weed and rag weed. A liberal bunch
of the first was gathered and thrown
into the pen. Sow and pigs imme
diately tumbled over each other to get
at it, and ate it ravenously. Some
rag weed wds then supplied, and that
was rushed for with still greater haste
and eaten with greater relish. The
last is a bitter weed, but it is a tonic
and appetizer, something that the pigs
demand to correct the vices of a pure
ly artificial diet, such as they were get
ting. Nature had supplied the demand,
but a fence kept tho pigs from it, and
ignorance of its value had kept it from
the pigs. It was learned that no salt
was given to these pigs, another
bringer of "bad luck," for hogs de
mand salt as humans do. The owner
of these pigs received a valuable ob
ject lesson, and may it not be a point
er to others? Confined pigs must have
soft, green, succulent food if their
owner expects to escape "bad luck."
Hot Water for Lice.
The Messenger says that boiling hdt
water is a lice killer about which we
read very little in the poultry papers;
but it does the work very thoroughly,
and is very cheap. In a poultry house
where the pests have obtained a foot
hold hot water will greatly assist in
their extermination. The waste water
on wash day can be used for this pur
pose, being returned to the stove after
it has served its end at the washtub
and reheated. If the walls, roosts
and nesting boxes are drenched with
this the larger proportion of the lice
will be destroyed instantly, and thoae
which escape will meet their fate in
the coat of whitewash which should
follow within a day or two. If the
nursery coops are turned upside down
and hot water sprinkled over the in
ner surface until it flows into and
through every crevice, not a single
louse will survive the treatment. This
should be dece in the forenoon of a
bright day in order that all dampness
may be dissipated before the brood re
turns to it at night. We have nothing
laid up against the lice killer makers,
and have no desire to injure their
business, but everybody cannot buy
these things; and while they are a
convenience, it is just as well to admit
the fact that they are not a necessity.
The lice can be conquered more cheap
ly, but to do this involves the expend
iture of more time and labor.
Watering Sheep.
With dry weather it is essential that
sheep of all kinds should have at hand
a liberal supply of clean water Jor
drinking nurposes, says Farmer and
Stockbreeder. Some think that sheep
do not require ater, but this is a
most erroneous notion. Sheep, like
most domesticated animals, require a
certain amount of liquid, and though,
in wet weather, or when on roots, etc.,
they need but very little, they even
then do better with a supply at han.i.
On the ether hand, when the weather
is dry, .and the food containing little
or no moisture, -.It is imperative that a
supply should be at hand where It can
be used at will, and then no harm can
or will result. But it Is necessary to
remind one that if thirsty and parched
sheep are driven to the water, in
either pond or brook, great care must
be taken that they do not get too
much; this danger never arises when
the supply is always open to them, for
they will only take that which they
require. An important point, too, is
that tbe water should be fresh and
sweet, not stagnant or stale, but the
latter is far preferable to none. The
trifling cost that may be incurred In
providing the water will be found to
be far and away paid for by the great
er increase in weight of the sheep. If
fattening, and by their general health
fulness of store.
The Ewe Lambs. The feeding of
the ewe lambs that are to furnish the
new material for the flock should be
liberal in every sense of the word.
FeeJ them liberally on oats, and see
that they get the best pasturage that
it is possible to secure for them, and
It will be found surprising how lus.y
they will grow during the first nine
months of their lives. More can be
done by liberally feeding the ewe
lambs, to secure weight of both body
and fleece in the fleck, than by any
other course that might be adopted.
It is evident in the size and weight
of the fleece; and, after the ewe lamb3
have been liberally fed during the first
year, it is hardly possible to check their
growth afterwards, as they then pos
sess the power to do for themselves to
a greater degree. Ex.

THE LONE WOMAN TRAVELER

that pettiing's going to happen b
(ore she reaches . her. destination It
ever phe dpee, bat she proceeds at once
to make herself comfortable and to
thoroughly enjoy her little rub up
against the outside world.
Bat although she rests secure In a
delightful feeling of safety, it has
never occurred to the general woman
that "making her to travel In safety"
Is a-business all In Itself.
8he may have heard, for example,
that the great New York -Central
Railroad Is.the only route in tile Unity
fed States that Is completely equipped
with the world-famous lock and block
system of signals; ..but , that , doesn't
mean anything to her until you ,ex
jplarajtnat by this system every foot
over whrch she travels is carefully and
unceasingly watched and signaled day
and h!ght'r and that collision Is prac
Ucalljfrnnosslble; .because a train can
not eater a given, block or section uttr
til the train ahead has passed out; and
that even.lt there should . be another
train following on the. same. track, the
engineer .knows all about it thrqugfc'
the electric telegraph,: which is rart
f , the ssatem1, thus making assurance
oubly. sure.;
, If the. lone woman happens to be
going to New York City she need have
no dread of landing alone in the con
fusion of a big, strange place if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one ot the
red-capped attendants free service
who will carry her bag, answer her
questions and show her to cab, car or
elevated train.
Another thing, she lands right in
the heart of the city within a step of
a dozen or more of its leading hotels
and she should bear In mind that this
is the only railroad depot in all New
York City.
The New York Central might aptly
be called "the lone woman's route,"

Women suffering from any form of female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate (with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are received;
opened, read and answered, by women only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence be-.
tween Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken.
Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to drawfrom, it is more than
possible thatshchasgained the very knowledge that will helpyotir case. She atks
nothing in return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved thousands.
Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of
this generous offer of assistance. LydiaE. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass.
The present Mrs. Tinkham's experience in treating female ills is unparalleled,
for years she worked side by side with Mrs. Lydia E. Pinkham, and for sometime .
past has had sole charge of the correspondence department of her great busi
ness, treating by letter as many as a hundred thousand ailing women a year."
