Management OF Cows.


HUGH T. BROOKS discourses as follows
upon this subject in the Western Stock
Journal.
Butter, cheese, milk, and meat form
very large space in the most important
department of sublunary affairs, and their
full and cheap supply depends essentially
on the proper management of cows.
To begin at the beginning, every house
holder should feel an irrepressible interest
in the propagation and perpetuation of
good milking animals. No person has
moral right to own or possess good COW
except for the purposes therein set
FORTH" viz: the largest supply of good
milk, and the increase of her species
these legitimate ends we are bound to
seek.
First, by breeding from milking families
-scrupulously rejecting all males and
females not descended from good milking
stock.
Second, by providing young animals
with a sufticiency of the right kind of
nutriment. The milk vessels are developed
by nutritious and succulent food, which
should be liberally supplied from the very
start
A calf that maintains precar;ous exist.
ence on poor hay and straw, and grows
up without care or carrots, can scarcely
make good COW, even if it has good an
cestors, and is well treated in after life.
There is no place for neglect in the milk
business All things require to be trained
and developed for their proper sphere.
Third, docility and good behavior are
essential characteristics of good COW
they are secured by kindness and. famil-
iarity. Farmers should never neglect
hai al hax do hair 60,
unless they are willing to have them
grow up wild and ungovernable. Guilt.
vate in all these cases constant and kindly
relations from the very beginning.
Fourth, guard against drouth in sum-
mer, and short supplies in Winter, by se-
curing early a good quantity of bran or
shorts. These, as we'll as roots, pumpkins,
apples, and well preserved corn fodder,
are peculiarly adapted to the production
of milk.
Fifth, cut your hay early Woody fiber
is good thing in its place, or it never
would have been sent, but no orthodox
man has any right to believe that it is
much adapted to dairy purposes. Cut
your hay just as the blossoms fall. Keen
1t snug every night-no rains and no dew
upon 1t. Be sure and dry it enough so
that II will keep perfectly sweet, without
must, and he sure and not dry it any
more than is necessary.
Sixth, unless a COW is remarkably
good BREEDER let her go farrow, feed her
high, and milk her through the winter,
and sell her to the butcher do this as
soon as she begins to fail, snd while she
is profitable to feed for beef
Seventh, consider good supply of good
milk as a necessary OF life, and never be
without 1t. Milk can be secured by hav.

Length OF whIfae.Trees. {

A HORSE cannot draw as well with q
whiflle.tr tree twelve feet long as with one
two feet six inches inlength because the
line of draught is not in the proper direc-
tion to be most effective Nor can two
horses, harnessod abreast, draw well with
whif1le-trees ten feet long, while their
heads are coupled close together, because
they must travel sidewise, more or less in
which position no animal can exert all his
strength to the best advantage in hauling
load.
. Horses draw best with double whif1le-
tree Just long enough TO allow them to
stand close to each other, having single
whinle-trees attached directly behind
them, and Just long enough to meet in the
middle. When tho double-tree is very
long, each horse must draw more or less
sidewise, if the coupling lines and the
necky0ke are not made long enough TO
allow them to move directly forward
without having their heads turned toward
each other. In order to determine the
correct length of whiffle-trees, let two
horses stand side by side, with their sides
three inches apart then measure from
the centre of one horse to the other on
their backs. This will give the length
for neckyoke, and the correct length
lOT buo uOuDlO bCbnOSh VIZ
joints where the single-trees are to
be attached. When neckyoke is
only eighteen inches long, and
the double-tree of the proper length,
horses will be required to move more or
less sidewise. For the same reason, oxen
often get in the habit of hauling sidewisei
because the yoke is too short. Neither
oxen or horses can travel easily and freely,
when their heads are turned toward, and
their butts from, each other.
Whifile-trees for powing should always
be as short as they can be made, without
bringing the traces against the legs of the
team. A very long double whiffie-tree
tends to make plow take too wide fur
row. slice. If the clevis be adjusted tC
take narrow furrow slice-when the
double tree is too long-the plow will moi
run at all satisfactory. The horse in the
furrow will not be able to walk squarely
in his place, because the line of draught
is such as to keep crowding his hind fee
out of the furrow on the plowed ground
The length Of the double whiffle-tree ant
the neck yoke for sleigh should be jus
as long as the sleigh is wide, from the
centre of one runner to the other.-IH

Suggestions on Grating.

CONSIDERABLE observation and expert
ence convince me that the old plan of
cleft grating is not the true or best way,
have for several years grated more or
less for myself and neighbors, and the
satisfaction which my plan has given has
led me to think that it may benefit 9th
ers | shall not attempt to say one-half
that might be said on the important sub
ject, but will try and get at the main facts
as direct as possible.
In the old plan the limbs selected are
from one to three inches in diameter, cut
square off and split through the center, and
a cion being set on each side, leaving an
opening between quite as wide as the ciCR
is thick. The limbs are generally cut be-
low all the small twigs or leaf branches,
forcing all the sap into the cion, which
grows rapidly the first year, loosening the
wax on the limb, leaving the split open
for the water 10 run in every time it rains.
The growth of the cion ultimately heals
up the split on both sides, so that it holds
the water until it dries out; this kills
more or less of the wood in the heart of
the limb by the time it heals over, often
taking four or five years. Then what
dead wood there is, as soon as it is ex-
cluded from the drying effects of the air,
absorbs the sap of the limb and at once
begins TO decay, often killing the tree be.
fore it has borne fruit enough to half pay
for grating
will now give my plan and mention
some of the advantages over the old plan.
cut the limb slanting so that the angle
shall be about two.thirds as long as the
limb is thick, being careful to have the
slant on the under side of the limb. Then
split the limb up and down through the
center, never setting but one cion in a
limb, and seldom cutting limb over an
inch through, being governed by the
shape l wish to give the top. generally
put all the cions into a top the first year.
This can be done where the limbs are cut
above the small twigs, or leaf branch,
which will take a part of the sap the first
year. then cut them off as soon as the
growth of the cion shall require it.
l think it will be readily seen that
by cutting the limb slanting and setting
the cion on the upper side, there is
no chance for the water to remain
long enough to kill the wood. 1t will
be seen, also, that by cutting the limb
where it is small that it will sooner grow
over, and the cion will sooner grow to the
size of the limb cut off. Every one who
has had much experience in grating
knows very well that it requires good
deal of judgment and skill to form a good,
healthy fruit bearing top, and none but
those who understand the business should
be allowed to cut a limb from tree, either
to trim or graft 1t. Cor. Boston CuLtiOatOr.

relations with and opinions of those
two widely different machines, are correctly
stated in the descriptive circulars of the

Sweepstakes circulars. lie also states
that whatever improving, inventing and
manufacturing ability he may have, is de-
voted, in the thrcsher line, to the "Aultman

nouncement is caused by unauthorized and
misleading representations, in the advertise

advice on how to let rain water into cis-

easily remedied. AS rule the water runs
