Mr. Harris of Boston, the expert butter judge, both at the state dairyman's meeting of Vermont and last year of New Hamp shire, in eacll place made the point that some of the butter was injuriously affected by gluten meal, and that cotton- seed meal also .injured the flavor of but- ter. We invite the attention of butter makers to this point, for M this opinion more than ordinary weiteht eshould be at - (milled. The feeding of gluten meal is on the increase among dairymen, while probably more rapidly with milk pro• drniers than with butter producers; yet - it is a popular food with butter produc- e ere. We regret to note the facia for glu- ten rneal, next te cottonseed meal, is the • richest dairy food on the market in pro- tein, mid therefore next to it has the highest value for farm fertilieers. Gluten meal exceeds cottonseed meal in the iimount of fat it contains, which rises oc- casionally to the heavy amount of 18 per cent., and generally exceeds 10 per cent. Now as oil or fat has two and one half tinies the heat producing capacity that praaeln has, it will be seen in this regard that Its feeding value is superior to that of cottonseed meal, and on this aceount, on the whole has a higher feeding value than cottonseed meal. But the very high per cent. of protein arid fat combined makes it what Is known amain; feeders as a heart,' food and one of the dangerous foods to feed, except in limited amounts. Garget and other woes :to which cow flesh is heir follow the heavy feeding a this meal, and in giving rise to the e quality of butter from its influence on health is manifest in texture and flavor. Very fatty goods do not give butter fats of the finest granular structure, nor do •.they give the finest flavored butter. This we believe to be true not only of gluten meal but of oottenseed meal, linseed meal and palm nutineaL At the New Hampshire experiment station Prof. Whitoher, the Investigator, found that gluten meal made a rather softer butter than other foods. It is assumed by dairymen that a araall quantity of gluten racial --a couple pounds a day --when mixed with such foods as bran or some food that ache aa,a divisor to increase MI hulk, may be ad !thou* any marked or dangerous visible Zurich.

Two men gob into a jangle over some bad language used, when one hit the other a crack over the head with a heavy pitch fork handle; the man struck dropped like a log, and had to be taken to -the doctor, who found that the skull was fractur- ed, and it required considerable dress- ing to put the wound in shape before the party injured was able to go to work again.
