Experiments in developing a milk Ing strain of short horn cattle have been begun by the dairy division of the United States Department of Agriculture in co-operation with the Minnesota Experiment Station ahd with nine Minnesota breeders, the lat ter having agreed to allow their herds to be used and to manage them ac cording to the instructions of the de partment.-Epitomist. Care of Horses. The hide and flesh of a young horse are more tender than those of an old work horse. If the shoulders of the young horse are allowed to become sore during the flrst season's work it is likely that they will be sore or ten der all the rest of the animal's life. If the young horse passes through the first season without injury the shoul d'ers become toughened, and with good treatment are likely never to be come sore--Epitomist. About Butter-Making. A lady who seems to know a good deal about practical dairy matters contributes the following items to the Farm Journal: Sprinkle the- salt in the butter and let it stand one-half hour and then work. You will find all the salt dissolved and the butter will be moist and have plenty of grain. Many people work butter too much. It should be pressed together. Never use a rubbing motion. If worked as soon as salted the but ter will be dry, as all the water will be worked out, will consequently weigh less and the flavor will not be so fine. If butter is to be used at once one washing is sufficient; if it is to be kept a long time wash two or three times. Never churn until the last added cream has been mired twenty-four hours in winter. Churn in a room as near sixty de grees as possible., Never in a very hot or a very cold room. Never fill the churn more than half full. Never attempt to churn: without using a thermometer. Soils Are lmproving. Declaring that the world's soils are to-day a greater storehouse of fertil ity than they ever were, Professor Milton Whitney, chief of the Soils Bu reau in the Department of Agricul ture, Washington, D. C., in a bulletin just issued, takes a stand in direct opposition to the view of many writ ersi that soils are gradually wearing out. Professor Whitney states that a study of the record for the last forty years will show that the average of crops is increasing, particularly in the older States, where the soil has been worked the longest. There has been, he states, an increase of two bushels in the average yield of wheat per acre in the last forty years, al though the yield of corn has decreased, one-half a bushel. "The soils of New England have mate'ially increased in yields of corn and wheat during forty ye~s," says the professor, "but, what is more startling, they are producing iconsid erably heavier yields than the soils of the Mississippi River States." He adds that an examination of the records shows that the leading Euro pe~an nations are not only producing greater crops now tha'n at an earlier period, but the orops are larger than those produced by the comparatively new soils of the United States. Grass Fed Beef. Professor Humford in referring to his six months' observations while in Argentina, South America, says that very fine' herds of cattle are produced in Argentina without a mouthful of grain. These cattle are fed simply grass and a-lfalfa and were never In a stable. He saw breeding cattle in extra fine flesh on alfalfa pasture. Grass fed mutton has gone from a~rgentina to London market too fat to sell. On one ranch of 100,000 icres there are 18,600 cattle, 10,000 sheep and 2000 horses--all market tat without a pcund of grain. Most >f the cattle country is flat and level and the climate is ideal for growing, is blizzards and severe weather are unknown. Argentina is a real competitor of ~he United States and has diuring the past three years shipped considerable nore beef to Great Britain than has ur own country. The beef can be lelivered in I4ondon from Argentina ms-cheaply as it can from Chicago. Our beef growers have not a'wak mned to the dangerous competition of :he South American cotantry, but the facts are indisputable. .Our great anges have practically disappeared and new methods of beef raisin'g are ioming into practice., But still bet :er methods must be adopted, else It vill be impossible for our farmers to -aisde cattle profitably on our high cdlands in competition with our Southern competitors. Heavier Farm Horse. We are more than ever convinced :hat many farm horses are entirely ;oo light for the work required of :hem. On nearly every farm we see zorses of- different sizes, and while all nay be good for certain uses, for' aeavy work and much of the work on m farm properly tilled, is heavy, the stronger horses not only do the work easie-r than the others, but they do it muore effectively. For instance, sup pose a farmer wants to use his spring :ooth harrow. When horses are strong enougha to do this work prop rly the teeth can be put down much ~ eper, and consequently they do the -ork just that much more effectively. using a disk. Of course, there may be some instances where light horsgs will have the advantage, as, for in stance, when drawing a harrow or weeder. But the number of instances when, the light horses of the farm will do work as well as heavy horses are comparatively few. Very much will depend upon the kind of land and ybon the nature of the farming that Is being carried on, but on nearly all kinds of soils good strong horses will be found preferable to those of light weights. On clay farms it is simply indispensable to keep horses able to do work that calls for much strength to do it properly. This ques- T tion Is sufficiently Important to en- t gage the .attention of those who ap- - parently have not thought of it, or having- thought of it have not been duly influenced by its great import P( tance.-Weekly Witness. a] of Hog Feeding Test. d( One of the State experiment sta tions has made a careful test in feed ing bogs certain foods, and gives the results in the following summary: 1. That it required eighteen per cent. more barley by weight than corn to produce the same gain in feeding pigs when both grains were fed in the proportion of four parts of grain to one of shorts by weight. 2. That it is profitable to feed bar ley to hogs if pork is selling at an average price. 3. That the carcasses of the pigs fed barley and shorts showed a grest er distribution of lean and firmer flesh than the carcasses of pigs fed corn and shorts. 4. That pgis fed on corn and shorts will dress a higher per cent. than pigs fed on barley and shorts. 5. That cross bred Yorkshire- L Berkshires made more grain than the co other cross breds or pure breds used th In this trial. Another test at feeding other foods bc is given as follows: in 1. We can conclude from the re- be sults of this trial that ground reject- ar ed wheat is capable of produding good pi gains when fed to swine in connection ne with shorts. a, 2. In comparisonl with corn it re- cl< quires 8.9 per cent. more rejected m: wheat than corn to produce the same w gains. pt 3. The quality of pork produced is is even better than that produced by bc corn. cr 4. If pork is selling for a reason-* ru able price a fairly good price may be ce expected from feeding the rejected to wheat to swine. en Id Make Good Butter. sU Farmers who make butter for mar ket and sundry small butter manu facturers who are stirred by the ac tivity of the Federal authorities in a making arrests for violations of the Federal law regulating the manufac ture and sale of adulterated butter have been calling on H: E. Barnard, State food and drug commissioner, in considerable numbers recently for In formation as to how to avoid trouble at the hands of the Federal inspect ors. Tne answer invariably is, "Make good butter." Under the Federal law any butter which contains sixteen per cent. or more of water is adulterated butter. A license tax of $800 is required for its mnanufacture; license for dealing In the material at wholesale costs $480, while a retailer's license costs $48. In addition a tat of ten cents a pound is imposed o'n all such adulter ated butter manufactured., - "It is easy for the farmer and the small butter maker to- make butter which will stand the Government test," said Mr. Barnard. "The chief point is to remove all the butterm'lk cont'ained in the butter when the churning is complete. This can be done by washing the product repeat edly through clear, cool or cold water until no traces of the buttermilk re main. Then the butter should be worked, either by a machine w~orker or by the old fashioned paddle such as our grandmothers used to use. BDy washing and working any batch of butter which a farmer's wife may make may be made as solid and firm as creamery butter, and will easily meet all the requirements of the Fed eral food law. "Many farmers' wives who have prided themselves for years on mak ing good butter reall-y make only a fair grade of axle grease. Their but ter contains, so much water that it would not pass Federal inspection. and unider strict interpretation of the law, the maker would be subject to fine if an attempt were made to sell-it 'as pure butter. Much of the butter that comnes- from the farms to the In- Y0 dianapolis and other markets Is washed through perhaps only one' water, molded into patties- and rushed to market. - "Under the most favorable oondi-wl tions it will not remain sweet more than a few days, because of the but termilk It contains. This butter com siands only a comparatively low price, whereas Its value can be greatly en hanced If properly treated. At the same time the danger of the maker's being called, to account by the Fed eral Inspectors will be removed. "Moreover, many~ farmers' wives makes the mistake of churning their cream before it is 'ripe' enough. The cream should be permitted to stand until fully ripened before the butter making process is started. "-Indian, apolis News. Good Scheme.

The Statistical Year Book for the rman Empire, the 1909 edition of Lich has just been printed, gives a population of Germany on June 1909, at 63,886,000.
