It is a principle which if inta4rmettSy applied will shorten the fattening per- iod. gin: greater returns per pound of few! fed, and thus bring greater prosperity 10 the Canadian farmer. j According to the most accepted feeding standard. a 1,000-pound dairy cow requires for maintenance pur- poees 0.7 per cent. of ditterthle crude protein and 7.925 per cent. of total digestible nutrients per day. This ration. bear in mind, is all consumed in supplying her upkeep requirements and carrying on her vital proceeees and does not lean e anything remaining for milk production. Even a dairy cow cannot make something out of nothing and so for each pound of four per cent. milk produced she requires an addition of .054--.06ii per cent. of digestible crude protein and .346 per cent. of total digestible nutrients. In" the light of this {not it follows that the amount of milk produced by I‘ hiry cow varies not as the total ra-l tion fed but as the amount of feed, given in excess of the maintenance ration. This in why it often pen a' dairymnn to dispose of one or two tf, his lowest producing cows and dz‘stri-l bute the feed which he hnd been fetd-) ing to them, among the rest of his: herd. so that each cow, after supply-i ine the overhead expense- of carrying: on her little factory. will have sap.

If I were a scientist I might be able to tell the exact difference In the, com- position of milk when' green food is absent from the diet. but as it is I knolonly that there is a difference. This is the second winter in which I have milked a cow that the previous owners were compelled to sell on ac- count of the extremely strong flavor of her milk and butter the two prev" all! winters. She never freshen: until May or June, so the cause could not be attributed to that source. When the milk was first drawn, no foreign odor or taste could be detected; but after standing a few hours the cream, could not be used even in coffee. She To mold butter perfectly the mold should first be scalded. then well rins- ed with cold water, so the butter will not nick nor be softened where it touches the mold. After it is molded it should be wrapped in clean white cloths which have been rung from cold water, preventing the butter: from stitking to the cloths. In such cues the crack is set in a vessel of warm water, and the churn- ing deferred until the correct temp- erature is reached. A practiced ear can determine this very readin by the sound produced. The crpvk is re- moved from the water when right. temperature is reached, the churning finished, the butter drawn, washed, salted, and molded into one-pound packages.

He They learned by listening to Jesuf,' by watdhing Him in His gentle minis- try to the multitudes who everywhere pressed about Him, by wnlking and talking with Him, by asking Him questions and bringing to Him their, unsolved problems.

And so they 1earnedl His lessons of service and of ?Giiiy, The disciples were with Jesus in Hisl days of apparent success, popularity! and power, and they were with Him; too in His days of apparent defeat and] failure. They learned His steadfsstvf ness, His unfslterinz trust in God, Hiv' courage. His s. hmiuslon of Himself tol the will of God, Hardest of all to, burn was the lesson of the cross. 1 But they had very much to learn in the school of Jesus Christ. They had to learn that true religion wiis inward, not a matter of external ob- servances, that the keeping of the, law was in the disposition of the heart,, that God's kingdom came not in dis/ play of wealth or power, but that greatness lay in lowliest human service and that a kingdom over men; might be won by self sacrifice andl loving ministry. Above all, they hull to learn the way of faith, faith in God, steadfast confidenee in His eter- nal goodness and power, faith thatl pox-sevens, in undaunted, and foils; not even in the presence of death and‘ such a death as that upon the cross.‘ We must remember that they were fimt of all Jews, with Jewish lnutincts and prejudices, knowing Jewish lows and customs, and hauling as their cut book of religion the Old Testament. The Temple of Jerusalem wns for them the centre of all true worship, most of their religious teachers were of the narrow and bigoted sect of the Pharisees, and their hope of salvation lay in the expected coming of a great king and saviour, whom the prophets had foretold, who would establish A kingdom in Jerusalem and rule throughout the world. They believed, too, that in the consummation of that, kingdom there would be a resurrectionl and a judgment which would be fol- lowed by an eternal life of happinessl for all the good. . Peter and John were men of their own time and of their own people. Under the teaching and example of Jesus, and endowed with His Spirit, they rose to such greatness that they may be regarded as behnging to - time and to every nation.

I It is much easier tuul better to keep bacteria-breeding muerial away from the milk vessels than to get rid of the bacteria after the vessels no infected. A good milk flow results from core- tul feeding, although shelter and other phases of management are also im- portant. The man who is getting poor results is usually feeding timothy hay, corn fodder, and corn, and perhaps not even enough of these. The man who is getting good results has learned that such a ration will not enable a cow to produce milk enough to make it Trrofitable, and feeds plenty of clov- er or alfalfa for the rough-go. and some corn fodder in addition, if he has it.
