UVE STOCK MATTERS. 
(continued.) 
Cows and Milk.— The milk inspectors 
of San Francisco have been getting after 
the dealers in thin milk, and have de¬ 
stroyed large quantities of it. This, ac¬ 
cording to the Pacific Rural Press, has 
caused a notable increase in the value of 
dairy cows, and a rise in the price of 
milk from 45 and 50 to 60 cents for a 
three-gallon can, and from 10 to 15 cents 
a quart. The milkmen claim that cows 
are scarce just now, and it is impossible 
to sell milk at 45 and 50 cents and make 
a profit. The fact is that, ruling out the 
water, there is not enough white liquid 
to go around. Cows are in sharp de¬ 
mand at an advance in value of about 
the same percentage as the can of milk 
has been raised ; or, in other words, the 
cow has advanced about as many dollars 
as the can of milk has advanced cents. 
Eversion of Womb.— I have a valuable 
Jersey heifer, which dropped her first 
calf last March, and immediately after 
had a falling of the womb ; it was very 
much inflamed, and much trouble to 
replace. She is due to calve again in 
March. Is the trouble likely to occur 
again ? Is there a preventive ? s. t. u. 
Fairfax County, Va. 
R. N.-Y.—With a little care, the ever¬ 
sion is not likely to occur at the next 
calving. Have the floor of the stall one 
or two inches higher for the hind feet 
than for the fore. A shallow drop be¬ 
hind would be preferable in her case to 
avoid sudden jars in slipping backward. 
Feed occasionally bran mashes, roots or 
other succulent food, to prevent the 
bowels from becoming costive. If as¬ 
sistance should be necessary at calving 
time, either in removal of calf or after¬ 
birth, it should be given with as little 
force as possible. Should any indication 
of the trouble occur after calving, apply 
a rope truss at once before the eversion 
becomes complete. 
eggs of a White Leghorn pullet laid 
in the fall, have as yellow yolks as those 
of any breed ; but after she has laid a 
hundred or more eggs, they have become 
considerably lighter, and both the yolks 
and whites become tbinner and more 
watery as the winter advances. This 
change may be prevented, to a consider¬ 
able extent, by providing an abundance 
of food rich in egg-producing material. 
Reef scraps or cooked meat and corn 
should be given as well as wheat and 
plenty of good clover or second-crop hay 
to take the place of green grass.

Show Condition: 
Some fanciers have a knack of 
putting their fancy poultry into 
“show condition ” just before and 
during an exhibition: the feathers 
shine; the eyes are bright the 
combs are red, the action is vigor¬ 
ous, healthy and strong. 
A flock of hens in “show con¬ 
dition ” all the year ’round is within 
the reach of all who love good- 
looking, »good - laying poultry. 
Those who are feeding Bowker’s 
Animal Meal know this, and feed 
it regularly the season through to 
keep their flocks in healthy, vigor¬ 
ous condition, which is the best 
kind of “ show condition.” It is 
the food for this purpose. 
It makes hens lay; 
It makes chickens grow.

COLOR IN EGG YOLKS. 
Clover Will Color Them. 
The color of the yolk of the egg seems 
often to be affected very noticeably by 
a change in the food. The experience 
O. W. M., page 293, has had, is a common 
one. It is frequently the case that eggs 
from fowls closely confined in winter or 
summer, having little variety of food, 
and especially a ration deficient in green 
food, show pale-colored yolks. A change 
in the amount of meat or fresh bones 
does not always seem to have much in¬ 
fluence. I have known hens that had 
the run of a barn and barnyard, to lay 
eggs with much darker-colored yolks 
than did neighboring hens confined but 
fed better in most respects. In one in¬ 
stance, a much deeper orange color in 
the yolk followed a change in feeding to 
green clover and Alfalfa. One lot where 
pale-colored yolks were the rule, laid 
eggs with orange-colored yolks after 
they had been given the run of a barn 
floor covered with dry clover chaff and 
leaves. A change in color of butter is 
often noticeable in the same way when 
cows are turned to pasture after dry 
feed. Clover hay and corn stover make 
different colored butter. Clover hay or 
Alfalfa hay is good to feed hens when 
the fresh fodder cannot be had, and may 
help to bring about the change desired. 
Geneva Ex. Station, w. p. wheeler. 
Same as Color in Butter. 
“ What makes the yolks of eggs light- 
colored ? ” Doubtless the same cause 
that affects the color of butter in win¬ 
ter. Wheat and barley, when fed to 
fowls, produce whiter flesh and whiter 
fat than corn and grass. The color of 
the yolks of eggs is, loubtless, affected 
in the same way. Eggs from varieties 
of fowls that lay but few, are said to be 
richer than those from breeds which lay 
large numbers of eggs. They are, at 
least, usually deeper in color, The first
