EFFECT OF FOOD ON MILK AND
BTJ TTER. '
BY T, U.1)BAN, B.s. A. intoresson 01' DAIUY
IIUSAANbnY.
During 1891 we conatueted pal:experiment
e similar. to the one here reported, The chief
!points brought out in reference to the effect
a food on the per cent. ot fat in the milk
were:
• 1. Lot 1 deoreesedin per cent. of fat
when changed to the peer retiou, while the
other lap geese slightly richer milk, The
average of all the lots m regard to the per
cent. of fat in the milk Was highest on ration
No. 1 (poor); No. 2 (rich in oil meals) next;
and. No. 3 (rich io grains) lomat. The ex-
treme variation, however, is so smell, (9.42
of one per cent.) thet we may say thet so
far as this experiment shows there wan no
appreciable difference in the per cont. of
fat given bythe differeut lots whether fed
on poor or rich rations, a. e., for a period of
28 days, but there was a marked difference
in the total fat or butter yielded, due almost
altogether to the quentaty of milk given.
The average por cent. of fat given in the
milk by the three lots when fed the ensilage,
bay and straw ration was 307; on the line
seed, cotton seed, hay, 3.49; an on the
pea, oat and corn meal, 3.25.
2. The average per cent. of solids not fat
from all the lots wheu fed on the poor
ration w.s 7.79; on the oil temple and hay,
8.02; on the pea, oat, coru meal and hay it
was 8.31. In every case there was a slight
decrease in per cent. oftsolida not fat wheu
the cenVa were fed the poor ration.
The cows need in the experiment were
six in number, divided into three lots—two
cows in each lot, The general plan of the
experiment was to feea each lot for four
weeka on one ration, note the quantity and
quality of the milk and Muter, then cbange
to another ration and feed for four weeks
until each lot hacl been fed each ration for
the same length of time. The rations
wore;
No: 1, Ensilage, 301b.; oat strew, 20 Th.;
hey (cut), 10 lb.
Na. 2. lia,y (our, 20113.• Lied oil. meal
4 lb.; cottonseed meal,
No. 3, Hay (cut), 201b.; pea, meal, 41b.;
oatmeal, 5 lb. corn mod, 8 lb.
1891::otne conclusions from the experiment of
1. When there is a deficiency of at or
albuminoids in the retiou, the Animal draws
from its otvu body to make up this lack,
maintaining about the mane quality of milk,
though the quantity may be greatly reduc-
ed, '(Tids woeld doubtless continue so long
as the animal remained in good condition,
but when the vitality was reduced to a cen,
tain point we might expeet a poorer quality
of milk, but so long as the cow has the
material in her boay to spare, so long will
she continuo to draw from that source to
maintisin her average quality of milk.)
2. When an excess of nutrients is fed
these axe doubtless wasted to a considerable
extent, and if fed for a length of time might
do injury to the animals, thonglt these cows
ate their full ration for a ported of 21 dive
without apparent iujitry.
3. Judging front the returns from the
winter ration we may expect to receive prof -
Roble returns from a muoh wider ratio and
on less nutrieets than tho German standard
calls for.
4. In answer to the question, Was the fat
feed in the food reeovered in the milk ?
these experiments show that on ration No.
1 more fat was recovered in the milk than
was fed m tho food, and. on Nos. 2 and .3 the
returns of fat in milk wore about the same
as the fat fed, but; whether it all came from
the fat of the food or not was undecided.
6. The general conclusion would seem to
be, that the food does not tillt Me quality
of inn to any alipreefable extent as long as
the animals arc ta good condition. This ap-
plies more - particularly to rations fed for
short neriodi—from 21 tn 28 days—bat in
case ot Lot en it may be amid to be true for
29 days,
6. It is a waste of food to give more than
the animal ean assimilate. Find the
capacity of the animal for economic produc-
tion and feed to that capacity.
7. A poor ration may give profitable re-
turns for a while, but will end in depletion
of the cow's vitality and hence injure milk
secretion.
S. The cast of food fed is an important
item in the profitable returns from a dairy,
and an extra, amount of some cheap food
in the ration, such as ensilage or beau may
prove a profitable investment. For instance
in the case of Lot I. by putting 20 lb. straw
in theplace of 6 lb. hay and 5 lb. bran, and
reduciug the ensilage from 50 lb. to 30 lb.
per da.y, we reduced the cost of the weekly
food from $1.78 th $1.22, but we also de-
creased the Value of their production in
butter -fat (besides loss of skint -milk) from
83.98 to $2,31 ; in othedwords by reducing
the cost of the feed 32 per cent., the value
of fat was reduced 42 per cent., besides
causing the cows to lose in weight.
(For detailsof this experiment see College
Report for 1801,)
Experiment of 1802. This experiment was
conducted somewhat differently from that
of last year. The number of cows was the
same but they were divided into twa
groups iostead of three, and two redoes
only were used. The experiment commenced
Monday, .April 4th, and closed June 12th,
covering a period of ten weeks. The cows
used were all H. No. 2, A. No. 3, and Na.
13 in Lot 1. A. No. 2, No. 4 and No. 2 com-
prised Lot n. The rations wero No. 1,
50 lb. ensilage, 1 lb. bran, 41b. hay (uncut).
No. 2, 50 lb. ensilage, 5 lb. pea meal, 3 lb.
oatmeal, 2 lb. barley meet, 5 lb. hay
(uncut).
No. 1 ration cost 6.35 cents per day and
No. 2 15,83 cents.
Lot I was fed for five weeks on ration
No. 1, then changed to ration No. 2, which
was fed to them for five weeks. Lot n
commenoed on ration No 2 and was then
changed to ration No. 1. They were fed on
each ration for five weeks. The milk from
each cow was weighed morning and even-
ing. The per cent. of fat, water and solids
not fat in the milk of each cow was deter-
mined on four days of each week. On two
days of each week the milk from each lot
was set in the Cooley creamer. The skim -
milk was -tested; the cream from each lot
-was churned separately; the butter -milk
was tested; the quality of the butter was
noted and a sample sent to the laboratory
for analysis, determination of melting point
and Iodine number. The cows were we/gin
ed at the beginning and close of oach period
of feedbag.

of solids not fate The same is true for this
year. The average of both -ants is 8 69 per
emit on the poor ration and 9.03 on ' the
Meal ration.
CONCLUSIONS AS TO QUANTITX.
1. With Lot x the extra, amount of meat
di4 nos appear to have moth effect on the
gitantity as they gave but 60 lb, more milk
m four weeks while getting meal than dur-
ing the same length of time without meal.
This may be ancounted for in some degree
by the Met that two of the sows in this lot
had calved recently. Those in Lot xx had
been milking for a longer time when the
experiment commenced..
2. Both Lots lost .heavily in weight
while getting ration No. 1, end gaiocel con-
eiderably on the ensilage, meal and hey,
One ration was not sufficient to sustain the
live weight of the animals while giving
milk, and the other caused them to lay on
flash -Without a corresponding increase of
milk.
3. The costper lOOlb. of milk from both
Lots on ration No. 1 Was 55.8 cents while
the cost when No. 2 was fed was $1.18 per
100. Such a large quantity of meal could
not be profitably fed to these cows.
Both Lots appear to have given slightly
better creaming results on the ration com-
posed nearly altogether of ensilage. Tile
average per cent. of fat M the skiin-milk
from both, in seven settings being 0.37 of
one per °out., while the average of the
same number of settings, under (meetly the
same conditions, was 0,53, when the meal
ration was fed in addition to the ensilage.
It was observed. in the preetical handling
of the samples, that the butter from Lot
was elwaya firmer then that from Lote, due
doubtless to the influence of the animals
coniposing this lot. It is rather remark-
able what a dtfference one or two degrees in
the melting point makes in the physical
properties of butter. Both lots gave firmer
butter or blitser With a higher melting,
point when they were fed meals in addition
to the ensilage and hay. Last year when
the cows were fed ensilage chiefly it pro-
duced a butter with e low melting point
(31.75 0) "Taking the everage melting
Point (32. 40 ) of the butter produced from
the ensilage, hay, straw, and grass rations
as a standand, we find that it was inereased
2, 30 0. when a mixtureof oil me de and
hay was led; 1 0 when linseecl meal alone
was fed ; and 4. 1 ° on the cottonseed (noel
ration." If it is possible to feed something
which will preduce firmer butter, a butter
that will "stand up"better in hot weather,
the question becomes of much practical im-
portance.
There appears to be very little difference
in the average composition of the butter
prodeced by the two rations, I would re-
peat what was stated in the last College
Report, p. 109: "That the varying per
cent. of Mt, water and other substances
found in butter, is likely due more to the
method of manufacture than to the infiti-
enee of food."

1. For prantical use I would not recom-
mend either of the rations used in thia ox-
pnriinent. No. 1, I consider deficient in
ndl k producing substances, and No .2,15 too
rich for our ordinary cowl, en they did not
appear to be able to digest and assimilate
so moth meal, I would also warn against
feeding much mere than 501b. ensilage per
day to news weighing tinder 1,000 lb. We
have found tbe following ration to give good
results :50 lb, of corn ensilage, 6 lb. of hay,
4 lb. of bran, and 2 lb. of pea eta mamma
mixed in equal proportions. If these latter
become too high priced, I should recommend
the use of 2 lb. of cottonseed meal (in place
of the brax or meals) per day to each cow,
when it can be bought for about $30 per
ton.
Feed liberally, though not wastefully,
bearing in mind that although the per cent.
of fat may not be increased by liberal feed-
ing, the total amount of fat or butter may
be largely inereesed by causing the cow to
give a larger quantity -of milk. Three
things determine the value of a cow: the
quality of her milk, the quantity she gives,
and the economics use she makes of her
food,
2. During the hot weather buttermakers
are frequently troublea with soft butter,
Thia is largely due, in most eases, to im-
proper handling of the milk, cream and
batter, but there is a tendency during hot
epells for the leneter to be soft no matter
what the care taken. From the experi-
ments here reported I am led to believe
that the addition of a small quanthy of
meal, especially cottonseed meal, has a
tentleney to make the butter firmer, or es
we say, raise the melting from one to four
degrees Centigrade. Last, summer we fed
about 1 lb. per day, to each COW, while at
pasture, and our buttermaker informs me
that he did not have a churning of soft but-
ter during the whole summer. Whether
this was duo altogether 00 the cottonseed
meal, I a,in not prepared to say, but I think
it had something to do with it.
In feeding cottonseed meal it should be
mixei with bran, hay, or some grain meal.

at the same time.
The greatest gift we can bestow on Others
is a good example.

Mr. Walter Beasante gives his views, as a
former secretary of the Palestine Exploretion
Fund, eboue the recent proposal to bizy
" Gordon's Tomb," I was amatled, he elms,
a, few dim, ago to read in the mere an ap-
peal to the British public for the sum ef
4:1000, in order to buy an old tomb near
Jerusalem. which the late General Gordon
hied chosen as the Holy Sepulchre,Wheu
Gordon was in Jerusalem he wrote many
letters to me on the Holy sites, and I have
bad many convcreations with him on the
subject. These, not because I was a per-
sonal friend of his—I bad not that honour
—bat because I was then secretory of the
Palestine Exploration Fund, The letters I
prize, and I cherish the memory of those
conversetions with a man who would live
forever in the hearts of Englishmen—the
noblest of his generation, Atthe same time,
Gordon on the Holy sites was fallible. The
case as I read it, of the Holy Sepulchre is
this—In the fourth century, the Emperor
Constantine, then newly converted, ordered
that a church should be built over the site
of the Holy Sepulchre. No one knew the
site ; the memory of it bad entirely perish-
ed. When pilgrimages began in the third
century the Mount of Olives, the scene of
the Ascension, was the one Holy Place
known and viaited. But the demand creat-
ed the seemly. Holy Places, being asked
for, were quickly recovered. That, of the
Holy Sepulchre was pointed out and a
churchbuile over the place. Ancient tombs
have been discovered under the roof of the
present church, so that there was evidently
some show of reason for choosing this site.
On the site of Constantine stands the pres-
ent church. It is, however, 15 years since
Major Conder—who has done more for the
right understanding of the Bible than
all other explorers and travellersput
together—discussed the hill. Gordon
searthed the hill, and preiently found a
tomb—one among many tombs. "This,"
he said; confidently, "is the Holy Sepul-
chre." No proof, no word of tradition,
nothing but the fact that the Holy Sepul-
chre must be on that hill, and that here is a
sepulchre. Moreover, as Major Conder has
since pointed out, the tomb itself is not
Jewish at all, but belongs probably to the
ninth century.
Importwat Medical Discovery.
A somevrbot startling discovery has just
been made by a Berlin medicalman, which,
if confirmed by other observers, will still
further add to the necessity of adopting
stringent precautions against possible in-
vasions of cholera. He has found that
patients apparently convalescent from the
disease are still sources of infection. In the
case of a men who,af ter a severe attack,he,d
perfectly recovered, and who had asked for
his discharge from the hospital, unequivocal
evidence was forthcoming of the presence in
his body of large quantities of the specific
bacillus. Before, however, steps could be
taken for extending the investigations into
this important subject, the man euddenly
left, to all intents and purposes, in perfect
health. Many years ago the belief was ex-
pressed by a well-known German physician
that persons apparently healthy could con-
vey cholera to o distant plane, but that was
in preba,oteriological days, when the °amine
bacillus had not been isolated, when noth-
ing was known of the etiology of the disease,
and. whett no means existed of proving the
assertion by seienthie evidence,. Now,

In spite of the outlay of vast sums 6f,
money and the offer of toinpting rewards
to the ingenuity and science of the whole
world for some means of destroying the
enormous hordes of rabbits in Australia,
the pests still flourish and multiply disas-
trously, says the Rural Xen: York4r, and:
threaten to ruin the agricultural interests
of that continental island. It is calcuiated
that a single pair of bunnies will in ten
years multiply to 70,000,000, so that a won

most hopeless. From ISM to 1890 the
single colony of New South Wales, with an
area of 323,437 square miles mad it popula-
tion ranging from 750,000 to about 1,000,,-
000, ex-pended over $4,000,000 for the ex-
termination of the plague, and about, as
much mare was spent by -private parties. A
1 bounty of 2 cents is paid by the government,
and it has been mild on as many as 25,280,-
000 skins in one year. Ten lenge conning
factories have been established in different
parts of the conntry, which pay on an
average from 4 to 5 cents for the meat of
each rabbit; so theta large army of hunters

lower than two and a half feet, Und it is pro-

wall being once built, a general extermina-
tion of rabbits within the melosure will com-
mence. If successful the other colonice will
follow the example. What an enormous out-

I presume that it is not generally known
that parts of this country are badly ever -run

Kansas, Nebraska, end Oklahoma, ibis hard-
ly possible to grow the muskmelon. The rab-
bits are 'very fond of the young and tender
plants, and eat them off as fast as th ey ap
peer. Young fruit trees else suffer badly
from them. The farmers in a neighborhood
will band together, shoot, poison, trap, and
catch them with dogs, but with little ap-
parent effect in lessening their numbers per-
manently.
