FARM AND DAIRY NOTES. 
Proportion of Butter for Milk. 
1 have delivered 2,643 pounds of milk to 
a creamery; my average test is five per cent. 
How many pounds of butter should I receive 
from the above amount of milk? 
Auburn, N. Y. C. W. J. 
This quantity, 2,643 pounds of five per 
cent milk, will give 132.15 pounds of fat, 
and assuming the butter to be 85 per cent 
fat, you should get 155.5 pounds of but¬ 
ter. Occasionally, when butter is more 
thoroughly worked and all possible water 
got out of it, there will be more than 
85 per cent fat in the butter, so that you 
might not get more than 145 to 150 
pounds, but if there is no loss in skim¬ 
ming or churning under ordinary condi¬ 
tions you ought to get 155 pounds. 
Balanced Ration for Cows. 
What feed shall I buy to mix with corn- 
meal and dried brewers’ grains to make a 
balanced ration for dairy cows? They have 
all the hay and corn fodder necessary. 
Itichwood, N. .T. a. g. m. 
The following is a balanced ration, us¬ 
ing the feeds you name with the addi¬ 
tion of gluten meal.

2 lbs. Dried brew's’ grs. .31 .73 .10 
3 lbs. Gluten meal .98 1.39 .0!) 
Total .2.45 12.44 .54 
You could substitute for the gluten 
meal a like quantity of oil meal or cotton¬ 
seed meal, but unless these were cheaper 
should prefer to use the gluten meal. 
Gluten feed would require an extra pound. 
We should for our own use prefer a 
ration of two parts bran, two parts corn- 
meal, two parts dried brewers’ grains, 
and two parts gluten meal, which would 
analyze as follows:

This ration we believe would be more 
wholesome for the cows, and would make 
butter of fine quality. 
FRUIT TREES IN CHICKEN YARDS . 
The more experienced fruit growers do 
not advise the keeping of hens in a peach 
orchard; in fact, the only way it can be 
done successfully is by adopting the col¬ 
ony house plan, and only keeping a few 
hens in each house, and moving the 
houses about in the orchard occasionally, 
as the droppings from the hens contain 
too much nitrogen for the healthy growth 
of a peach tree, forcing the wood, and 
leaving it too soft to stand our Winters. 
A few hens roosting in a peach tree will 
kill it as effectually as an ax. With a 
plum orchard it is entirely different. The 
plum trees nearest the houses are the 
best. We have had many of our plum 
trees so loaded with pullets that it seemed 
as if they would smash the limbs; some¬ 
times they have gone down under the weight 
of the growing chicks, but wherever they 
stand the strain the trees grow luxuriant¬ 
ly, and we pick our finest plums the fol¬ 
lowing season from these trees. Severe 
pruning is needed where hens are kept in 
quantities in any orchard, as otherwise 
the fruit will lack color and be cloudy. 
This is particularly noticeable with 
apples; many varieties are so changed as 
to be unrecognized by an expert. Quinces 
are one of the fruits benefited by poultry 
ranging beneath them, while pear trees 
seem made more subject to blight. Rasp¬ 
berries and. blackberries can be grown 
successfully along with hens, the shade 
and seclusion of the bushes being very 
welcome to Biddy in the long hot days of 
our Summers. The hens will eat the ber¬ 
ries which ripen near the ground, but 
these are generally dirty and thrown away 
in any case. The berries remaining on 
the higher branches are enough improved 
by the hens to more than make good what 
they eat. floyd q. white.
