Keeping the cow stable clean and sweet is one of the necessary requi sites of good dairying, it is impos sible to draw milk in a stable that is nauseating in its atmosphere and have ! the milk pure. The atmosphere fur- nlshes the cause of bad odors that become worse when developed in the milk. It is not infrequent that a man 1 takes great pains to have his hands washed and clean clothes on when he milks, and yet allows the odors of the manure to so pcrmeute the whole j stable that it' is impossible to get good j results as to a clean product. Every ' few months the stable should be given ! it thorough cleaning, using not only lye washes but disinfectants as well. Then the daily task should be to keep I it clean. Of course it. is not possible to do as a great New Jersey dairyman docs keep a man to do nothing but to remote the droppings as fast OS . they arc made, but the barn should be Cleaned OUt often enough to prevent the odors from permeating every thing. Whitewashing is valuable be cause it not only covers up germs that ; may have escaped the disinfectant 1 washes, but acts as a reminder to the I dairyman that hftj stable is to be kept ! an. Dirt cannot accumulate on whitewash without being "recognised, ' and thus the cleanings are likely to be nearer together. Some have adopted the practice nf painting the boards ; near the cows with coal tar. This would ;i pear to be a good thing, as it ! prevents the boards taking In lilth : and holding it. They should also be easier ejeaned fur this painting. Farmers' Review, Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dls- ana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kid neys are out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that It Is not uncommon for a child to be born P afflicted with weak kid neys. If the child urin ates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage. It is yet afflicted with bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of the difficulty Is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towards the treatment of these important organs. This unpleasant trouble Is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made mis erable with kidney and bladder trouble, and both need the same great remedy.

Stray BtO MODEL DAIRY COW. dairy form shows herself to lie of ex ceptional dairy merit, but the best dairy cows so uniformly correspond to such external characteristics that one will make no mistake in making the dairy form his ideal in breeding. Not all cows with "dairy form" show ex cellence at the pail and churn; but few, on the other hand, show such ex cellence that, do not show these ex ternal characteristics. It is the only wise course, then, to breed for them, and to regard the exceptions that oc cur ns "proving the rule." The distinguishing external marks that characterize a good dairy COW which are so excellently shown in this outline -are wedge-shape for the body, large in the "barrel" and rear quarters, and light and thin in the fore-quarters; a large udder with large, well-placed teats, looseness and yellowness of skin; severe, leanness of body as opposed to the rounded and plump form of the purely beef an imal, thinness of neck, fineness and WaxInCSS of horns, a "dishing" face, and full, mild eye. Experience Iris shown that the great body of the best dairy cows possess such points as have been mentioned. It is safe, then, for the breeder to photograph such an outline as is here given firmly upon hit mind.

Not the least valuable merit of pood rich silagS is Its palatability ; to make the cow's "mouth water" is a wise part of feeding. Cows don't always know enough when turned out in the cold to skip around to keep warm and make them selves "healthy." They arc more like ly to find the most protected spot and stand still while they ruminate upon the proposition that their owner is a fool. W. V. McSpnrran, in National Stockman. The Consumption of Itntter. The statement that the consumption of butter per capita is increasing is true and is likely to have an important bearing on the dairy interests of the whole country. Butter has become a necessary article of food for the great mass of people, and is being more gen erally used every year, especially when wage earners are well employed. Peo ple need not be very old to remember when butter was a luxury to the work ing man and during the winter was seldom on the table. Now it is a staple article of food all the year round and must be sweet and good at that. Bural World.
