To the Annual Encampment.
Those who joined in the famous
Boston G. A. R. excursion a few sum
mers ago and all who contemplate a
trip to the National G. A. R. encamp
ment at Pittsburgh, Pa., next Sep
tember, will be pleased to learn that
arrangements are in progress for one
of the nicest excursions yet planned
for this city and community. The
plan is none else than to charter a
Mississippi steamboat and make the
entire trip »from McGregor to Pitts
burgh and return by water. The
steamer, of which the refusal has al
ready been obtained, will accommo
date about 250 in comfortable berths
and staterooms. The company will
furnish their own food with ample ac
commodations for cooking on board.
It is proposed that the whole party
mess together, hiring the steward and
necessary cooks and furnishing the
supplies themselves. The trip will
take about eight days to go and eight
days to return, and about six days will
be allowed at Pittsburgh. While there,
the boat will be occupied just the same
so that all hotel bills will be avoided.
It is now thought that $15 apiece will
cover the entire expense of the trip
from McGregor exclusive of the meals.
George Hirsh will of course again seek
to be general manager and Stimson
and others will try to work the same
old racket as before. But we believe
that this excursion as planned
will furnish one of the pleasantest
and cheapest outings which this [city
has yet enjoyed. We shall give fuller
particulars later.

FEEDING MILK COWS.
A Test of Just How Far Liberal Rations
Are Profitable.
Bulletin No. 24 of the Pennsylvania
agricultural station gives the results of
an experiment by Professors Waters and
Caldwell and Mr. Weld upon the ques
tion of the most profitable amount of
food for a milk cow. In these experi
ments 10 cows were fed a ration begin
ning with 8 pounds of grain and 12
pounds of hay and gradually increasing
up to as high as 19 pounds of grain and 27
pounds of hay per day and head and then
gradually decreasing to the original
amount. Throughout the experiment
accurate notes were taken of the amount
and cost of the food, the amount of mil If
produced by each animal, and its butter
value as determined by the Babcock test.
Perhaps the most striking lesson of the
experiment is the demonstration.it gives
of the profit there is in liberal feeding.
The cheapest ration used cost 18.8 cents
per day and produced butter valued at
26.5 cents, making a net profit of 7.7
cents per day per cow. An increase of
2.9 cents per day per cow in the cost of
this ration made the daily value of the
butter 31 cents and the net profit 9.3
cents per day, or a difference of 1.6 cents
per day per cow in favor of the more
costly ration.
In other words, the farmer who at
tempted to economize by feeding the
cheaper ration would, with a herd of 25
cows, save $217.50 per year on his feed
bills, but would lose $837.50 worth of
butter that he might have produced with
the more costly ration, so that his ill
judged attempt at economy would re
sult in a net loss of $120.
The cheaper ration, moreover, is what
would ordinarily be considered a good
ration, and the majority of dairymen
would be likely to feed less rather than
more, yet the results of this bulletin
show conclusively that with such cows
as these the more expensive ration was
really the more economical.
A further increase of the cost of the
ration, however, to 25.1 cents per day
gave no further increase in the butter
product, and the net profit was thereby
cut down to 5.9 cents per day, or 1.8
cents less than with the cheapest ration
of the three. In other words, the experi
ments indicate that there is a certain
medium ration for each cow which will
give the greatest net profit, and that any
attempt to economize by feeding less
than this will result in a loss, while, on
the other hand, it is possible to feed a
cow too much as well as too little. Gen
erally, however, there is more danger of
feeding too little than too much.
The experiment also brings ,out in a
striking light the great individual dif
ferences in cows and the great impor
tance of a careful study by the dairyman
of each individual of his herd, both.as
regards the amount of milk and butter
produced and the cost of feed consumed.
The net profit yielded by each one of the
10 cows used in this experiment was the
greatest on the medium ration, but it
varied in amount from 2.2 cents per day
to 24 cents per day, equivalent, for a
milking period of 300 days, to $6.60 and
$72 respectively.—Breeder's Gazette.
Dairy and Creamery.
Never try to run a creamery, co-oper
ative or otherwise, without having at
its head a thoroughly well trained man
ager. There is always such a man in the
Danish creameries, the best managed
ones in the world. From our state dairy
and creamery schools bright, earnest,
entirely qualified young students will
yearly be pouring out. They will get
places as creamery managers and help
ers and should have the preference every
time.
Mr. ,J. Moldenhawer, writing in The
Creamery Journal, warmly advocates the
pasteurizing of cream before it is churned
into butter. The pasteurizing consists
in heating the cream while sweet to 150
or 160 F. This destroys the microbes of
decay. There is no cooked flavor at all
in butter made from such cream. It only
needs to be carefully .ripened before be'
ing churned. Mr. Moldenhawer says
that 20 years ago he made butter near
St. Petersburg from cream that had been
heated to 200 F.f and it was in great de
mand for a time. Such butter unsalted
he was able to keep entirely fresh and
sweet for a month. Raising the cream
to 200 F. gives the butter a nutty flavor.
At St. Petersburg it was called "Parisian
butter" and was considered a great deli
cacy.
The time has come when the creamer
ies must pasteurize the cream before
they churn it. The microscopic gentle
men are making a row over hurtful mi
crobes that fall into milk and run through
into all the butter that is put upon the
market. They say nobody would eat
butter if he knew how bad it was.
Whether the microscopic cranks are right
or not, butter and cheese from pasteur
ized milk and cream will secure popular
favor in the market at once.
The Mercantile Exchange of New York
city passed a resolution calling on Gov
ernor Flower to hold back the appropri
ations from public institutions that use
oleomargarine. The New York law pro
hibits state institutions from using the
hog butter, but the hog butter fellows
manage to get in their fine work never
theless, and the politically appointed of
ficials of the state institutions are said
to pocket the difference.
One way to defeat the oleomargarine
frauds will be to make real butter so de
licious that everybody can tell the dif
ference at first taste and will decline
to take into his stomach the revolting,
counterfeit.
Mrs. E. M. Jones, the model dairy
woman of Canada, wraps her prints of
butter each separately in a piece of fine
white bleached cheesecloth, which costs
