EQUINE HISTORY.
In Christian art the horse symbolizes goodness and generosity.
It is said by competent persons that over 100,000 horses are every year kill- ed for food in Paris.
Assyrian monumental records show that cavalry and war chariots were used at least 2,500 years before Christ.
Arabian horses were introduced into Europe during the crusades, the Barba- ry horses during the Moorish occupation of Spain.
The most famous horse in Spanish literature was Don Quixote’s RKosi- nante, and the most fameus donkey Sancho’s Panza’s Dapple.
During the most heavily armored pe- riod of warfare all evolutions requiring celerity were executed by infantry, the cavalry being the slow moving arm of the service.
As early as the time of Jultus Cesar, 54 B. C., British horses were famous for their size and strength. In his writ- ings Cesar mentions them as exceed- ing in most particulars those of the con- tinent.
Most Christian readers will be sur- prised to learn that the archangel Ga- briel is provided with a steed named Haizum. To Mohammed, in the Koran, is due the credit of mounting Gabriel in good style.
The standard of the Saxons was a white horse. It is worthy of note that the hair of the Saxon woman was not red, but yellow; therefore the joke about the redheaded girl and the white horse, though ancient, is of later date than the eighth century.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Salt Butter Uniformly.
Some butter receivers are complain- ing that the consignments of butter, even from first class creameries, vary widely in the amount of salt used, some being nearly fresh and some so salty as to be almost unsalable, all in the same shipment too. This is an old complaint against dairy butter, but it is surpris- ing to find that any creamery should send out such goods. It is supposed that everything is done by weight and meas- ure, and that such variations are im- possible. It is evident that some butter maker needs stirring up. Such haphazard practices will never do. If they be per- sisted in, creamery butter will lose its prestige.

JERSEY WORTH HAVING.
Yield of Six Per Cent Butter Fat and a Big Calf.
Here is a famous old Jersey cow, im- ported originally from the island which is the native home of Jerseys. She has never been forced for a record, but has been one of the best cows straight through her career ever owned in pri- vate life. When she was 18 years old, her milk yielded 6 per cent butter fat to the test.
A writer in The Rural New Yorker, from which paper the illustration is re- produced, says of the old herd mother:
This photograph was taken when her calf was about 3 weeks old, and the cow was not looking as well as usual, having fallen away somewhat in flesh after giv-
EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD. ing birth to her calf, which was a very
large, vigorous young fellow. At this time the mother was giving on an aver- age about 25 pounds of milk daily, test- ing 6 percent butter fat. Although very nearly 18 years old at that time, she is a valuable dairy cow even yet. The next time a man tells you that he is afraid to feed his cows heavily because he thinks that they will last cnly a short time
under this treatment just call his atten- }-
tion to old Cypres, who has stood heavy feeding for nearly 19 years, and today her udder and teats are in as perfect condition as when she was a heifer. As long as you are able to milk it out don’t be afraid to put the feed into a dairy cow.
Whey Calves and Other Calves.
For a number of years we raised 10 to 25 calves e-wry year. We sold our milk to the cheese factory and had our whey back. This problem of raising good calves on whey was a serious one. We always started our calyes on new milk till they were 3 or 4 weeks old, then gradually diminished the milk and added a little whey, and at the end of a week the whey would be substituted for the milk and no bad results from the change, as is often the case when the change is made abruptly. But to make up for the loss of the milk we boiled a kettleful of old process oilmeal, adding a little of this to each feed.
They would thrive nicely on this till hot weather came on, when the whey would get too sour for calves.
This dilemma confronted us several times. At last we decided the whey must go, and we adopted a new system, which proved a success. We made hay tea by taking an old washbboiler and crowding it fuil of sweet clover hay, then pouring boiling water over it and covering up to steep. When the new milk was taken away from them, at the age ot 3 or 4 weeks, a little of this tea and also a little of the cooked oilmeal was given each calf. By thinning with water the desired amount of drink was obtained. This was increased as they got older, ard also a little bran added.
At the start the quantity of oilmeal to. be used is at the rate of two table- spoonfuls'to each calf. At the age of 3 months the hay tea may be omitted, as the calves will then be old enough to eat plenty of grass, but they shouid be on good pasture.
The cooked oilmez! and bran shou'd be given them all summer by thinnifg it as a drink with water. It ‘should he measured, not guessed at, and each ore fed in a pail separately. We wish tb emphasize the word ‘‘cooked,’’ for if fed in its raw state it is liable to scour the calves, while if cocked it will not; hence very important. This hay afte? being steeped is not altogether wasted, for horses and cattle will eat it mor@ greedily than in its dry state, though it
is true much of its strength is exhaust- -
ed. —Exchange.
Question and Answer.
If I skim with separator a pound of cream from each 6 pounds of milk that tested 4 per cent butter fat, what per cent of fat should the cream show in Babcock test? Why should it not show six times 4 per cent, or 24 per cent?
Answer.—It should, barring the iney- itable loss, and this is frequently larger than is supposed. A separator needs con- stant watching, just like any other high speeded machine. The loss in the skim- milk ought not to exceed one-tenth of 1 per cent, but is quite frequently more than twice that. In the case cited, if the skimmilk contained two-tenths of 1 per cent fat, the cream would not test quite 23 per cent.—Hoard’s Dairyman.
