ICE CREAM DAIRYING. 
Referring to article by “Dairyman” on 
page 617, I would like to ask how he man¬ 
ages to dispose of his ice cream during the 
cool days of late Spring and early Summer, 
and again in the early Fall. IIow long can 
ho hold his cream either in the fresh or 
frozen condition ? IIow long can ice cream 
be held without deterioration? I presume 
“Dairyman’s” plan is to make butter in 
Winter and ice cream in Summer. w. 
Kentucky. 
I have a milk route all the time which 
from about October to March takes 
about all my milk and cream, although 
I have occasional orders for ice cream 
from parties, etc., all Winter. If I had 
no milk trade I think I would aim to 
have as near all my milk as possible 
come during the time of largest demand 
for ice cream, and winter many cows 
dry. This year my experience has been 
as follows: In March and first half of 
April the trade was abnormally large; 
I did not have enough cream, and could 
not buy enough, and dairy companies 
in cities could not fill their orders. My 
own supply of cream increased through 
May and June until at present I have 
about 75 gallons of 25 per cent cream 
packed in ice. Some of it is likely 10 
or 12 days old and still sweet and good 
flavored. I made 40 gallons of ice cream 
this afternoon, and some of the cream 
used was perhaps two weeks old. This 
surplus will be pretty well used up for 
the Fourth of July, and if August is hot 
and dry I may be hunting cream again. 
Cream to keep a long time must be taken 
fresh from separator in shot-gun cans 
and plunged in broken ice and water. 
The level of the ice must be above the 
cream. Keep plenty of ice in the water. 
The necessary condition is to chill quick¬ 
ly close to freezing point, and keep it 
there. I never intend to keep ice cream 
on hand long after making. My usual 
practice is to make in the afternoon what 
1 think can be sold next day. I seldom 
have ice cream on hand over two days 
old, occasionally three days. It requires 
just about “over night” to harden ice 
cream clear through an eight or nine- 
inch can. It cannot be frozen very stiff 
in a power freezer; a few minutes too 
long will churn the butter out of it. 
Just how long ice cream can be kept 
without (apparent) deterioration is a 
question. The large city manufacturer 
with his cold storage plant might answer 
—if he would. I suspect the exact truth 
about some of the cases of ice cream 
poisoning would reveal some very an 
cient ice cream. dairyman.

THE FRENCH-CANADIAN HORSE. 
The Canadian Government is to try to 
restore and breed the horse which once 
gave distinction to Canada. Old-time New 
England farmers will remember the power¬ 
ful and useful horses which were brought 
from Canada. As stated below, the breed 
is now nearly extinct, but efforts will be 
made to secure good specimens and breed 
them with care. The Toronto Mail and 
Empire tells the story: 
“The Frcneh-Canadian horse was the 
best general purpose horse ever produced. 
It is a bold statement to make, yet it is 
probably true, that he was worth the 
Clydesdale and the Thoroughbred put to¬ 
gether. If the stories we hear about him 
are true, he was the ideal horse. lie was a 
beautiful trotter, with a round, wheel-like 
action, and could road 10 or 12 miles an 
hour without turning a hair. Weighing in 
the neighborhood of 1,200, or even 1,400, 
he had the body and strength that would 
enable him to haul a rig and half a dozen 
people without fatigue. Weight for weight, 
it is said he could out-pull any horse. An¬ 
other very distinctive characteristic was 
his general beauty and style. Finally, he 
was about the longest lived of any breed of 
horse. It was no uncommon thing to find 
him at the age of 25 years still doing his 
regular work. 
“Though the name of the farmer who 
bred or owned the first real French-Cana- 
dian horse will never be known, and no 
monument can ever be reared to his mem¬ 
ory, the breed was manufactured in the 
past hundred years by Canadians or Eng¬ 
lishmen on Canadian soil. Three well 
recognized breeds were the ingredients 
fashioned by artificial selection into the 
French-Canadian. There were the native 
French draft mares, chunky beasts a trifle 
lighter than the Pert-heron. These were 
bred to the Thoroughbred horses that the 
English officers had brought to this country 
for cavalry purposes. The product of this 
union was crossed with the Morgan horse, 
which gave toughness, speed and style on 
the trot. From the Thoroughbred came 
courage, beauty and clean, flat bone, and 
the French mares gave the necessary size 
and weight. 
“The American Civil War was the first 
step in the practical extinction of this 
model general purpose horse. Many thou¬ 
sands of the breed were bought for army 
service, and either met death or subsequent¬ 
ly fell into the hands of men who did not 
value the characteristics of the breed. A 
little later the French-Canadians were sub¬ 
jected to the competition of the American 
trotter, which was a faster road horse. 
After that came the competition of the 
draft horses from the British Isles, which 
were heavier and stronger. It was the old 
story of the specialist displacing the all¬ 
round man. Nevertheless, the time has 
come again when the specialist is no longer 
in such keen demand. Gasoline is crowding 
him to the wall, but a man who needs a 
horse to drive, to plow, to ride and to work 
in the hush cannot find any automobile or 
steam implement that will be an acceptable 
substitute. All over the world horses of the 
Frcneh-Canadian type are in demand, and 
far more could be profitably sold than are 
likely to be raised in this generation. If 
the Dominion Government is able to revive 
the breed, it will have done something to 
entitle it to the gratitude of farmers and 
stock breeders everywhere.”

Tumor. 
My six-year-old mare has a lump the 
size of a walnut under the skin on the in¬ 
side of buttock. Lump is hard to the touch 
not painful and appeared about three weeks 
ago. Mare was in bad condition last 
Winter. I gave her dried sulphate of iron 
She is now in best of condition aside from 
lump. What shall I do to remove lump? 
Will kneading and saturating with tincture 
of iodine do any good? a. r. 
As well as we can judge from your des¬ 
cription there is a fibroid tumor present, 
and it will have to be cut out, as the treat¬

I have two hogs weighing about 100 
pounds each alive; they have been ailing 
now about two months. When first taken 
down they began to walk stifilv as though 
sore, continually growing worse, until now 
they cannot stand up or walk. If 1 press 
on their legs or shoulders they squeal as 
though it hurt them. One of them has been 
all stuffed up in the head and seems to 
hurt when eating. Their appetite lias been 
good until last week. Gan you inform me 
what I can do for them? n. h. f.

This condition generally is associated 
with rachitis (rickets), akin to bowed legs 
of children, and is induced by overfeeding 
and lack of exercise. Worms also may 
bring it on. The tendency to the disease 
is considered hereditary, in that it most 
affects pigs of pampered, corn-stuffed and 
under-exercised parents. Rheumatism some¬ 
times causes similar symptoms. If the pigs 
are in good condition otherwise they should 
be killed for meat. If you must treat them 
physic each pig and afterward rub loins 
twice daily with strong liniment, or have 
the loins puncture-fired and blistered bv a 
veterinarian. Feed light milk slop and add 
one ounce of limewater per quart. There 
is very little chance of recovery. a. s. a.
