BICULTURAL CO1A F3(1E.
Su times past there has been some
complaint that too much theory was
taught and not enough praotioe given at
the Farmers' College. Through the in-
strumentality of on progressive Minister
of Ageioulburo and the liberality of the
Ontario Governmant this is being reme-
died. The dairy department is now able
to give practical, as well as theoretical,
instruction in bilis now most important
branoh of agrioulturo.

What was formerly the creamery and
residence of the buttermakor has been re-
modelled, some additions made, and
otherwise improved until it answers
fairly well the purpose intended. The
cheese department contains a lecture
room, provided with chairs having imit-
able arms for taking notes, which over-
looks the working room. The working
room has six vats, curd mills, preases,
beeps, and complete outfits for the man-
afao6nre of cheddar ohooce. The curing
room is conveniently located. The butter
department has also a lecture room oom•
mending full view of the work room.
Three cream separators, one butter ex.
tractor, three churns, workers, vats, etc,,
make this department fully equipped for
giving lnotruotion iu the art of butter•
making by the latest improved machin.
Dry, and in the best method.
A basement under the lecture -room
served for creameries, refrigerators, skim
and buttermilk and general wash -room.
The ice house near the refrigerator, fur-
nishes material for cooling milk, cream
and butter. In milk testing the latest
teeth are in use every day, while those
more oommonly known are kept for illne-
tration.
Owing to the difficulty of securing suit-
able books on the onbjeot itis not an easy
matter to collect. a library on dairying,
but ouch es there are, we shall have, to•
gethor with the only reliable source for
the latest information on the dairy,
namely :—reports, bulletins, agricultural
and dairy journals.
Additions have also been made to the
dairy barn ; stabling for thirty 0017s and
a number of young stook is :now nearly
oomplete. A circular silo, which now
contains a good sample of ensilage, was
also built adjacent to the stabling. A
new piggery provides for the feeding of
that indispeneible animal, the hog, in
connection with the dairy.
The stock of owe comprises five of the
dairy breeds and a number of grades. A
record of the pounds of milk and per oent
of fat is kept of each cow. With this
equipment our regular students ought to
got a fair knowledge of the manufacture
of mills into both butter and cheese.
For the benefit of those who cannot
spare the time to take the full ocurre, it
ie our intention to start a
BP1t0Idn MOAT manse,
connnonciug February let, 1802, and con-
tinuing two months. This is designed
for tine benefit of factarymeu mud o1her0,
who aro leaking a specialty of dairying.

also, who may desire to take ouch a

varying in fat cantento, that revealed
some startling facts, and illustrate foroi.
bly the injustice of paying foe milk by
weight alone. Two vote with 510 lbs, of
milk each, one tasting 4'3 per cent. fat,
and the otber 3.3 per cent. fat were made
np into cheese, The 4.3 per cent. vat
58a lbs, of green oheese and the 3.8 par
mint, vat gave 493 lbs. clines, a difference
of nino lbs. of cheese in favor of the rioh
milk. In During, the lose in each was
about the same, thus the oared cheese
showed the sumo difference es when
green. That means, in money, at 1030.

600 lbs. of mills, 1 per cent. richer On
quality alone, without oonsidering the
fact upon wbioh all exports agree, that
the cheese from the richer milk is worth
the moat per pound.
