CONDITION known as "agar lactia," or absence of milk in the mammae at the time of parturition, probably ce. curs more frequently in cows than in females of other classes of stock. it may occur in a female in any con- 'dition as regards general health. gen- eral care and surroundings. The causes, or conditions' to which it i due, are not well understood. It occurs even though pregnancy has: 'heen - apparently normal and hag reached full term. It is probably nore frequently seem in females which have not bred for a long time, or in those which have produced their first young, though themselves aged. While it may oecur in an ani mal under any conditions, there arc conditions that appear to predispose an animal to the trouble. In such cases there appears to be a want of development in the lacteal apparatus, which may have been Sn by pre- vious or present chronic disease of the udder, a chronic lessening in bulk, called "atrophy" of the udder, exhaustion following disease, severe labor, insufficient food, either during or immediately after pregnancy, nat= ural debility, emaciation, ete.

In these cases, it is the fanlt of the cows--they have not the power within themselves of making milk from their feed. They seam to change their feed into blood which is used as a basis for manu- facturing beef, instead of milk. . Im addition, there are cows which ap- parently do little' or nothing with their feed ey neither give milk in paying quantity, nor do they hecome fat. These are classed as "boarder" "cows, and are very unprofitable for a farmer to keep. The only way to know for certain whether or not a cow is able to ses crete milk in paving quantity, is to fveigh the milk from each cow for at least three days in each month. Also test the milk for fat at least twice during each lactation period. In this way, the owner may select the good from the poor cows, and thusj« build up a profitable herd for dairy purposes.--Prof. H. H. Dean, Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, Why Milk Sours. It is a common impression that hunder sours milk, but this is not so. The reason that milk sours is that minute plants. known as bacteria, act on the sugar in milk, changing it into lactic or milk acid, One scien- tist, however, says this explanation is not satisfactory. He regards the souring of milk as a result of feed- ing on milk sugar by the lactic acid germs, leaving behind them what is known as sour milk. No matter what the true explana- "tion may be in detail, we believe that scouring of milk is caused in some way by "germs" or) bacteria which are mieroscopie plants that fall into milk from the air, and get in from many other places. : Like all plants, they must have air, suitable temperature, and moisture, in order to grow. The-common plan of preventing the milk going sour is to cool it to 50 deg. F. as soon as bossible after milking and keep it cold until it is used. The teason for | this is, the cold makes an unfavore able condition * for these plants to grow, hence the milk remains sweet, though sometimes it takes on bad flavors, or develops disease producing n iden, to Drevent bn we If 1 a and kept cold ti heat milk will" keep sweet for e and is free from disease " This is known as the safest | per cent off On Cash Orders of $5. 00 nd over BIG SPECIALS CANNED CORN, splendid quality, full size tins, regular price 25c a tin.

One of the principal difficulties in the way of the more extended production of ripe beans is the sensitiveness of the plants to frost. Ordinary beans cannot be ripened in any district where the season is very short. There are, however, some sections of Canada where the cultivation-of beans for the ripe seed is almost unknown at present and where, acvertheless, this crop likely prove successful, provided suit- able varieties were tried. With a view to extending the 5 of ripe beans for human food, e Dominion Cerealist is distri- EH this winter, for the first tinie, samples of a productive and very early-ripening field bean. As this variety 1s brown in colour and as it does not perhaps give as heavy a yield as some of the later-maturing white sorts, its cultivation is not recommended for districts where the more popular varieties can be grown, Farmers in almost any part of Canada where ordinary beans fail 'to ripen would do well to apply for a sample of the beans now offered. The variety in question is a selection from a sort obtained years ago from Norway. = It is being introduced under the name * Norwegian, |Gttawa 710." While the number of samples available is necessarily limited, it will be possible to send a few, at least, to almost every distriet where they are likely'to be of use. Applications from farmers in localities where beans are already twill not be filled; but requests are invited from farmers who have ripens sufficiently early. Although these beans are of a brown colour, they are excellent when cooked and there is no rea- son why they should not give complete satisfaction for table use, even though their. colour be not lta state.
