A National Dairy Convention, A National Dairy Convention was held in Cleveland, Ohio, on Feb., 7, at which meeting a national association was.organized for the .purpose of proyidtiig .an authentic channel through which all dairymen may give to the department of agriculture that loyal Rapport which is due from all citizens and receive in return reports of the work of the department in behalf of the dairy and kindred interests. Sterilizing Milk. This is a process of destroying the injurious germs which the milk may contain. This is accomplished by placing it in bottles and submerging them in water which is heated to a temperature of not less than 50 nor more than 55 degrees Fall. The bottles are then removed from the heat, kept closely covered for half an hour, when all the germs are destroyed. Sterilization should always be resorted to when children are raistd upon cows milk. . . FEED. Many make the mistake of trying to save feed. It is a waste of feed to try to save it by not giving a cow all she can cat profitably. Many cows are not consideretHgobd Ones simply because they have not had a chance to show what they could do. They have been stinted on feed and - of course they turned very little of it into milk, because they required the most of it for self-support. Cows need training in-feeding and by .care* ful feeding some of those cows that are not thought to be good ones, may be developed into heavy feeders and good yiekkrs of rich milk. 1 / ~

EXPERIMENTS. By A. L. Crosby of Maryland. We should always be making experiments in Dairying, with the feed for the cows, the way it is fed, the number of times a day it is fed, whether to change the feed often, and in the dairy room we should try different ways of keeping the cream and varying temperatures in churning until we find in all these things just what suits our particular cows and their product best. Experimenting adds interest to the business. It causes us to think and the result should be the saving ourselves much time and work and make the dairy routine more certain of accomplishing the good results we are working for. The difference between profit and loss in dairying may be caused by a neglect of the little things. It is the little things that count up after all. TUBERCULIN. Tuberculin is a substance prepared from the Bacillus, fiist by Dr. Koch of Germany, who claimed that it would cure consumption, but this proved a failure. It is, however, a true test of the presence of tuberculosis in man or beast. If tuberculinebc ii j cted under the skin with a hypodermic syringe it will cause the tempera’ure of the body to rise several degrees, when afflicted with iuhereukisis, but if not afflicted no rise of temperature is produced. Now since aU-ut one seventh of the | human race die of consumption and rim e it is ass.- rled by experts that ! this diseace is often contracted by fliing th't M and dxinking the
