The best milk obtainable for the manufacture of dairy products is that obtained when the cows are feeding on good, grass which is free from obnoxUous weeds. When it is not possible to feed cows chiefly on grass, the foods must be so selected that they will not taint the milk for the production of butter or cheese. T have a little dog writes a Scottish correspondent of the Daily Chronicle, which eats strawberries and bananas! He is, 1 am afraid, a blend of various breeds, but the product is' distinctly satisfactory. He is a war-time dog—came over from Flanders with a Scottish officer, who fell in one of the big battles on the Western front. I had been plucking strawberries in my back garden one summer evening, and offered him a choice and tempting morsel just to see what would happen. He sniffed it, took it, and ate it.

One of the young won;c7i of my household tempted him with a banana—and again he fell.
