The Exeter Times, 1919-12-25, Page 3Literal eeuixtg o4 .tit e Stock. Stiegy feeding of live stock la one et the most wasteful and extratvegant teatimes of Canadian agriculture. This is especially true in case it as the eetler's purpose to have the animal grow in teeine or lose flesh or produce some animal product such as milk, butter, wool, eggs, eti. For every loos of live stock there is a definite quantity of the various digestible nutrients required for the mainten once of the system—for supplying heat and energy and repairing waste tissues. A ration which will just meet these requirements and maintain the animal without any change ;in weight is called a maintenance ration. It is apparent that •supplying suell a main- tenance ration is a sort of necessary evil since we get no returns for the feed thus consumed. In case it is the feeder's purpose to carry an idle_ho" se through the winter cheaply, such a ration is probably the most desirable, but if it . is his pur- pose to secure some animal-product— such as milk, for instance—or to cauae the animal to increase in site or de- gree of fleshing, then merely supply- ing a maintenance ration, oe a little more, is certainly a poor business. proposition.. According t;c. the moat accepted. feeding standards a 1,000 -pound, dairy cow requires for maintenance pure,/ poses 0. ( per cent, of digestible crude protein and 7.025 per cent. of total digestible netrien•ts per day, This ration, bear in mind, is all consumed in supplying her upkeep requirements and carrying on her vital processes and does not letave anything remaining for milk p odaction. Even a dairy crow cannot make something ottt of milling and so for each pound of four per cent. milk produced she requires an addition or .054—.065 per cent. of digestible crude protein and .340 per cent. of total digestible nutrients. In the '::'ght of this feet it follows that the amnia of milk produced by a dairy cow varies not as the total ra- tion fed but, as the amount of feed given in excess of the maintenance ration.. This is *by it often pays a dairyutxan to dispose of one or two of+ his lowest producing cows and distri-1 bute the feed Which he had been feed- ing to them, among the rest of Iris herd, so that each cow, after supply- ing the overhead expenses of earcying on her little factory, will have smile- thing left with which she can manu- facture her real product—milk and butter. This same principle holds true of all other classes of live stock—from feed- ing a farm flock of poultry for egg production to fattening a carload of two-year steers for the market. It is a principle which if intelligently applied will shot teu the fattening per- iod, give greater --returns _per pound of feed fed, and thus bring greater prosperity to the Canadian farmer. Common -Sense Dairying. I often hear disparaging remarks about country butter. Being a coun- try woman, I do not enjoy this, but at the same time I know that it is a fact that far too many farm women clo not know how to make geed butter. The cream is allowed to become over- ripe, impairing the flavor; or it is churned at too high a temperature, with the result that a white, puffy substance is obtained. Now, I do not milk a sufficient number of cows to justify the title of dairy woman,' but I sell a great deal Be Not Neglect The BM Cold OF TO -DAY 4101 l'ir MAY [ESERIOUS Reg Saeveiop into Bronchitis, Peteu. monks and pediaps Consumption.

Like most country peo- ole, my cream is ripened near the fire' le a jar that will allow a circulation of air. Closed vessels give milk and, butler an objectionable flavor. A clean' 'loth is tied securely over the top of die tall crock which holds the cream; this exeiudesall dust but does not entirely exclude tho air.. When the Bream .is ready for Churn 11x;;' it is always warm, and if churned Immediately.the butter is sure to be white, -and puffy, so I set the crock back from the fire until the cream has cooled, then I churn it. If the temp- erature is too low it foams, and none but, tiny granules ofbutter form. In such cases the erode' is set in a vessel of warm water, and the churn- ing' deferred until the correct' temp- cratere is reached. A practiced ear can determine this very readily by the solved produced.' The Brock 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. To mold batter perfectly, the mold should first be scalded, then well rids- ed with cold water, so the butter will not stick 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 sticking to the cloths. 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"fronx the diet, but as it is I know only that there is, a difference. This is the second winter in which I haxe.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 previ- ous winters. She never freshens 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 deteisted; but' after standing a few hours the cream could: not be used even in coffee. She is a fine cow, so when the owner de- sided to sell.her we -bought her. This man had written to our ea -peri- merit station and received a formula of medical treatment which gave . only ten'iperary re.. sults, so he became disheartened. I used all precautionary measures against this trouble' :from the, begin- ning, 'nut it came with the coming of last winter. As'a last resort I strain- ed the milk as usual immediately after drawing, set the crock containing .it on the stove, allowed the milk to be - tame hot, but not to boil or even simmer, then set aside .to cool, and managed it in the usual way. I never tasted better milk and but= ter. The same trouble appeared again this winter, and the same manage- ment,.overcame it, so I know it its re- liable, and believe this satisfactory ex- periment will be of interest to others. It is a form of sterilization, and it surely has been a valuable help to me, —Mrs. L. E. A. THE TRAPPER, When to "Case" Your Trapping Catch and When Not To. After the animals have been trap- ped the first thing to do is to dein them—remove heir pelts. Thereare two ways of dieing this, the "casing" method and the `open" method. The former, as the name suggests, means peeling the pelt from the animal's body so that when it is finally re- moved it is tubular in shape.' The lat- ter method siznply calls for Butting the animal from the jaw bone down the middle of the belly to' the tail, then drawing the skin off with a gentle downward inoveinent, Coon, badger, beaver and bear are practically the only animals whose pelts are treated by the "open" method. All the other animals •are "cased." But it is necessary f r the o young g trapper to know whether to case them pelt aide out or fur side out. For those who are not experienced these pointers trill lie .qf value. The following should; be "cased," pelt side out: Mink, skunk, nniskrat, .white t esel,,civet cat.

Golden Text, Acts 1: 8. Peter and John were inen 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 belonging to every time and to every nation. Their train- ing in the school of Christ redeemed 'them from littleness. and nal rowness and the selfishness of national . pride and mere material ambitions and hopes, and made them servants of humanity, We must remember that they were first of all Jews, 'with Jewish instin•ets and prejudices, knowing Jewish laws and customs, and having, as their great book of religion the Old Testament. The Temple of Jerusalem was foe them the centre of all true worship most cx their religious' teachers were of the narrow and bigoted sect of the Pharisees, and their hope of salvation lay in the expected corning 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 resurrection and a judgment which would be fol- lowed by' an eternal life of happiness for all the good. But they had very much to learn in, the. school of Jesus Christ. They had to learn that true religion was inward, not a matter of external eb- "ervances, 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 and loving ministry. Above all, they had o learn the way of faith, faith lin God, steadfast confidence hi His eter- nal goodness and power, faith that perseveres, is undaunted, and fails not even in the presence of death and! such a death as that upon the cross.

They found that He lifted them above the petty con- troversies and debates of their time, which matte so much of ,custom and ritual form, holy days and feasts and payment of tithes, into an atmosphere of simple trust in the heavenly Father' and loving .sere ce to one's fellow men. They found hien greater than party or sect or national differ- ence, and supremely interested in peo- ple, people of all classes and all sorts, and especially poor and ignorant and suffering people. And •so they learned His lesson of service and of faith. The disciples were with Jesus in His days. of apparent success, popularity, and power, and they were with H,im too in His days' of apparent defeat and failure. They learned His steadfast- ness, His unfaltering trust in God, His courage, His submission of Himself to the will of God, Hardest of all to learn was the lesson of the cross. But there were days of great happi- ness, and there were great assurances. They saw the sick healed and the in- sane resterectto reason and to health, and they saw even the dead come back to life in obedience to His call. He •Dame to them upon the sea when they tailed in the night, rowing against contrary winds. They saw Him glori- fied and radiant in a mountain vision. Food multiplied in His hand and a lit- tle fed a great company. Last of all there was the assurance of His resur- rection from the dead, confirming and establishing the faith that had almost failed them when they saw Him crucified. But what happened next is too strange A great faith and a great love be- most to tell, name theirs, and a great desire to For what did the rice in the hold do minister in the world to human need but swell? as they had seen Jekus minister.

But they had learned that it was not by force of arms, by battles or by wars, that it was to be won, but by leading all men to know and to have faith in the Lard Jesus Christ. This .became their duty,, their mission, the Master passion of their life, to be witnesses for Jesus Christ, that all men might hear and see what they had heard and seen, might know Him as they knew Him and }night seek to be like Him. To them the life and words of Jesus came as a great light, and as a reve- lation of God. They saw and found God in Him, as Light, and Life, and Love. "This is the message," John says, "which we have heard from Him and announce unto you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all," Therefore He ,who would know God must seek the light and walk in it, the light of the Christ -like life. See I John 1: 1-9. Offkg Adventures of the China Chaps. Now this is a comical, quenious tale Of a small China 'boat and its perilous sail. It started one day from a far China bay, 'Bound for Mocha or Java or, maybe, Cathay. And two China Chaps, with long queues and silk caps, Were the mate - and commander and crew, too, perhaps. The cargo was rice and a sprinkling of spice, Some raisins and sugar—to be quite precise! But scarce had they started before a typhoon Stirred the sea to a froth with its long, windy spoon. The China Chaps fell on their little Chi -knees, Their queues jerked erect by the terrible breeze. They dropped anchor swiftly and let down the sails And hailed out the water with teacups and pails, But the waves rose and rose and the China ship sank, While some terrified Chinamen watch- ed from the bank. "In simple faith like theirs who heard Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word, Rise up and follow Thee." Let us, too, seek to be disciples in the school of Peter and John, the school of Christ. An Easy Way to Dust.

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 profitable, and feeds plenty of clov- er or alfalfa for the roughage, and some corn fodder in addition, df he has it. It is much easier and better to keep bacteria --breeding material away from the milk vessels than to get rid of the bacteria after the vessels are infected. Have a good supply of wash cloths, so that each one needs to be used but once before laundering. If only a few are at hand they must be scalded after each time they are used. Those who use earthenware crocks for milk should always rinse the crocks first with cold water and then wash in clean, hot water. Place crocks in the sun; thorough airing is nearly as important as sunning.
