Since the mill of the Western Flour Mills 0o. commenced running, alter the introduction of further improved machinery, the company has been turning out 1,800 barrels of flour daily, which means the grinding of about 8,000 bushels of Manitoba wheat each week.

DURHAM CEMENT CO. The trouble between the directors and the shareholders of the National Portland Cement Company, of Dux*. hatn, was threshed out in Toronto on February 7th, at a meeting of the stockholders. The result of the elec- tion for the directorate was announc- ed, and this settled the question of the removal of the mill from Durham to Port Colborne. The Mill will remain where it is, and every effort will ho made to fill the orders that the com- pany have booked. The company was shown to be sound in every res- pect, and the fact that the shares were quoted at $15 was taken by some of the speakers to mean that some in- fluence was at work to depreciate the stock so as to gain control of the busi- ness. The financial statement shows a bal- ance to the credit of the first year of $23,000. The shareholders turned down the proposal to move the mill to Port Colborne and disposed of the option to Messrs. Cobbledick and Ratz, on condition that they pay all expense. Tho decision was arrived at that it was cheaper to bring the marl from the lakes to the mill titan it would to take the mill to the marl. The result of the election was to badly smash the slate proposed by the shareholder as the outcome of the meeting at the Roslin Bono on Tues- day. The directors elected were t— W. H. Hoyle, 1.1. P.

A stable for dairy cows should be well lighted and ventilated. It should have light walls and ceiling and a sound floor. Dairy cows when crowd- ed into dark and dirty stables cannot be expected to produce as much milk nor milk with as wholesome properties as those provided with clean, airy quarters where the sunlight enters through numerous windows and where the foul air of the stable is replaced by pure air without subjecting the cows to injurious drafts. When on full feed the dairy cow is hard worked and less able to withstand extremes of weather than is other stock, for her energies are then being exerted in the direction of production rather than self preserva- tion. It Is not only humane, but more profitable, to keep her warm by mak- ing the stable comfortable instead of compelling her to use large amounts of expensive food in maintaining her body temperature.— Bulletin Illinois University. Secret of iltittermaking. The young man who starts in the dairy business often hesitates before deciding whether Ire will make butter or just sell milk. It is proper he should do so. He may think it much harder to make butter than just milk. While the skill is greater, the labor is really less. NOw, the skill of buttermaking la a bugbear. There is very little skill In it outside of the imperative necessity for real cleanliness. The actual process of buttermaking is so simple that an Intelligent ehild can learn it in a week, but the job of unlearning an old maker of bad butter is the svork of a lifetime. The *e•hole trouble centers around the one word eleauliness. What is clean to one person is rank dirt to another, but the qnality of butter tells the tale just as the dock tells the time or the titer- teometer. tells the heat, no matter what you may think about it.---Ilomo and Farm. Strained Back And Side. "While working in a saw mill" writes C. H. 1Cenney, from Ottawa, "I strained my beck and side so severely I hal to go to bed. Every movement eaused too topiary. 7 tried different oils and liniments, but was tot helped 4111 I used Nerviline. Even the first application gave considerable relief.

W, Lighty in National Stockman, In the corn belt on large farms the root crop may not be eco- nomical, but ou small farms and situations where corn des not thrive so well roots should always form part of the winter ration. The man who has no silo should always feed some roots to his dairy cattle during the winter. Some of the Danish investigators found that roots will take the place of at least part of the grain in the ration, as the results of their experiments proved that a pound of dry matter in roots was equal to a pound of dry matter in cereal grains for dairy production. Professor Hunt of Cornell station suggests this rotation of roots: Cab- bages for September, October and No- vember; rutabagas or hybrid turnips for December and January and man - gels for the rest of the winter. I would suggest for our latitude cabbage in October, turnips in November and mangels and beets the rest of the win- ter. Cabbage and turnips must always be fed immediately after milking to avoid tainting the milk. When man - gels and beets are fed, precautions are not necessary. Roots should always be sliced or pulped for cows. Some dairymen speak very highly of results obtained by mixing some cut or chopped hay with the pulped roots and letting this mixture stand for some hours before feeding and putting some of the grain ration o11 it when it is fed. The hay causes the cattle to chew and mix sa- liva with the feed better, and it also makes the hay more palatable. Where roots are merely fed as a rel- ish or for a little succulence twenty to forty pounds per day is considered sufficient, but in the old country, where they are fed for business, 100 pounds or more per day is a common ration for a good sized cow, and with the present prices of grain it is a very cheap feed. An acre of good soil can be made to produce as much dry digest- ible matter in a root crop as in a corn crop; but, as a rule, roots are more ex- pensive. Roots properly fed with other feeds make a very excellent quality of milk and butter. Mixing Breedio. Too many farmers change their minds about the proper way to grade up a herd, writes a New York farmer in American Agriculturist. I remember selling a Jersey bull to a party, who used him, getting a lot of splendid daughters. He wanted to get more milk.o.nd put in a Holstein to breed his herd. When the Guernseys did so well at Buffalo he wanted the breed and got them. As a consequence today he has a lot of ring streaked and speckled animals no better than he started with years ago. 1 SILAGE AND THE SILO 1 013 Silage is as much a necessity for stock as fresh meats and vegetables are for you, says Alson Secor in Amer- ican Agriculturist. You cannot buy palatability in anything that is very cheap. Silage has it at $2 per tou. There are a pungent aroma. and a de- cided flavor to silage that make every- thing hungry that gets a whiff of it, I used to live near a brewery, and the smell of the malt made me hungry all the time. Silage seems to affect stock the sante way. To get returns from cows or beef cattle they must be in- duced to eat an abundance of feed, Si- lage does the business. It gives zest to the appetite and aids in digesting other feeds. A Dairrinsin'a Silo. Last year I built a round silo sixteen feet four inches in diameter and thirty feet high and placed in it about seven acres of drilled corn, well eared, and three acres of hill corn from the shock, cut and blown into the silo, mixed as it went in and wet down well. This made 125 tons of the beat winter feed for dairy cows that I ever saw. Wo started feeding it to fifty cows and ten head of young stock on Dec. 1, and it was sufficient to last them until March 10. The corn put in in this way furnished not only the roughage, but concentrates, and all that was needed to balance the ration were four pounds of gluten meal and four pounds of wheat bran per day for each cow.—Jo- seph Newman, President Illinois Dai- rymen's Association. corn In Silo or Shock. A question as to the relative feeding values of eon). silage and dry corn fod- der (unliuskcd corn) was once put to Professor Homy at a Wisconsin dairy- men's convention, and he answered by saying that the difference between corn forage in the silo and corn forage in the shock is from 5 to 25 per cent in favor of the silage directly and pos- eibly more than that in its continued effect. At it Sueceeding convention C. P. Godrich, 10 explaining why certain dairymen who have silos received lar- ger returns per cow from the ereamery than their neighbors who did not have silos, quoted Professor Voorhees, di- rector of the New jersey experiment station, as having "found that ensilage increased the amount of milk 12 per cent over dry feed of the same kind 'when everything else was equal.— Hoard's Dairyman. Silage Veranti manieelo. As soon as the cows are stabled at night, and this should begin before the nights get eold, then corn silage will furnish the requisite sueculenee, and it Will furnish it more cheaply, where cora ctui be grown suceessfully, than any other food. Mange's will answer as well, but are more costir.--Protessor Mamas 8bstr. 5 Views Items Owen Sound, Feb., S. ---Attacks Up- on the seats of the Town Council cons tinue, Toelay Mayor ,Tos.
