How to raise Cows for the Dairy.

This subject is now attracting
some attention at the West as well
as the East. 1t requires judgement
in selecting young animals with
characteristics which are essential
to make COWS which will yield the
greatest profit. There are families
Of" mixers" among different breeds
of cattle, and there are other fami-
lies which furnish very poor or in
different mixers. Then there are
other things which should be taken
taken into account in selecting young
stock for dairy purposes. A writer
over the signature of" Cattle Breed
err" in the R,rol 4Americon in an
article on this subject says a hcifer
that is designed for the dairy, should
be brought up with great care, and
in manner that will tend to make
her growth, and bring out all her
good qualities.
We will suppose a hcifer to have
been brought up in this manner to
the age Of Is months; that she is in
thrifty condition, aud has every
indication of becoming good COW.
We should recommend that she
should now be mated with the bull,
as by beginning thus early, we can
control in great measure her future
development. AS the ensuing five
or six years will bring out whatever
of dairy quality she may possess, we
cannot be too careful at first in our
training. And first we should be
careful about feeding too high, as
heifcrs hept in high condition are
liable to have inhammatory action
set up in the udder toward the close
Of her term, which often destroys
the usefulness of a portion of that
organ, and tends to hinder the Sc
erection of milk, thereby injuring the
future reputation Of the COW as u
mixer.
AS there is always more or less
Of inflammation during the first stages
Of lactation, the young hcifer should
be MIXED as clean as possible at
least three times day; and her
food should be light with sufficient
water, until the fcvcrishncss is gone,
when it will be safe to adopt a more
liberal policy. q
In the early stages of lactation,
cows have a tendency to dispose of
their surplus nutrition through the
understanding organs; consequent
ly, they should have liberal supply
Of good food at this period, so that
not only natures demands may be
met, but that their milk-producing
qualities may be stimulated beyond
this. In order to accomplish this,
we should feed not only all the
moist, food the COW will bear and
assimilate, but whatever of rich
food that will have tendency to
produce the largest results; always

Monster Grape Vine.

Don Carlos Hensley who has just
returned from visit to lower Gala
fornia, informs us that he saw, just
at the other side of the line, near
the Tia Juana Valley, on the Anto-
MIA Ranch, a grape vine which is
six inches in diameter in the trunk,
and is six feet in height before
branching out. 1t contains fully a
ton and a half of grapes, of the finest
Spanish variety and of splendid
flavor. At another place on the
Mesa Redonda, some nine miles from
the sea six hundred feet elevation
on the ranch of Manuel Machado, is
corn Of superior quality, the
stalks of which are from twelve to
fifteen feet high. The stalks arc
full of ears. There are pumpkins
in considerable quantity and aver
aging two feet in length. Also
quite variety Of trees and vines
all growing splendidly, and yet moi
a drop Of rain during the entire
season, save two or three little
showers, such as we have had il

Tree Roots.

The Importance of sound, unmu-
tilatcd roots to the healthy and Wig
orous growth ola tree, does not seem
to be generally appreciated. The
chief thought of most planters is
given to the branches. In setting
out tree, many are unwilling to
prune back single limb, but are
reckless as to the number of roots
they cut off. Give us handsome
tops, they seem to say, the bottoms
we will hide in the ground, and they
will take care of themselves.
Too little thought is given, also
to the soil in which the roots are to
be set; it may be stiff clay or wet,
or stony; that is otlittle consequence
only give us handsome tops, and af-
ter the tree is planted we will sod it
over nice and smooth close up to the
trunk, and all will 60 on beautiful
ly. How many fine trees are annu-
ally sacrificed in this way!
Now, it is rule, with hardly an
exception, that the roots of an es-
tablishcd tree extend on every side
as far as the tree is high. Yet most
persons, in taking up tree, six to
ten feet high, will put in their spade
about foot or eighteen inches from
the trunk, cut clean circle around
it, and then pull it out, vainly sup
posing that they have dug up all of
the roots. The trees we annually
receive from the nurseries seldom
have roots more than a foot long.
OF course, fully one half Of the roots
are left behind in the nursery. So
it is with grape vines. Many per-
sons think that the roots Of dwarf
pears extend only a little distance,
but an examination of the ground
will show this to be mistake. Es-
tablished trees several years planted
will send roots from SIX to seven
feet.
Facts like these suggest several
important lessons. In transplanting
trees greater care should be taken
in digging up the roots. In the
case of a tree six feet high, put in
the spade four feet from the trunk,
and then when the roots are found,
follow them out as far as they extend.
The small roots at the extremities,
called spongioles, are the feeders of
the tree, and should be scrupulously
saved. To encourage the fresh
growth Of roots, fine, generous soil
should be put around them. OF
course, no sods should be replaced
over the surface of the grouud as far
as the roots extend, for they would
absorb moisture and food from the
roots below. In place Of sods cover
the ground with leaves or straw, for
mulching during the SIMMER. lin
certed sods may be laid on, of
course.)
Then, again, if the tree roots ex-
tend so far, it shows how far the
manuring and working of the soil
should extend for several years, at
least until the tree has got a few
shovelsfull Of manure or chip dirt
heaped up close around the trunk of
a tree when it can do no good, while
the hungry little roots, the real pur-
vcyors of the tree, are from six to
ten feet off. You might as well
think Of feeding horse by putting
the corn on his back!

The big difficulty between L. d.
Tracy, of the Grundy County -1tlos,
and G. X. Shaw, formerly of that
paper, has been settled, as we learn
by the Cedar Falls Go=ette, by
mutual retraction. Every effort for
peace had failed, but it seems the
near approach of the day set for the
hearing of a case for SANDER had a
desirable effect upon the dispositions
Of the parties. This leads us to be-
lieve that neither party was conf
dent Of his ability to prove himself
innocent, and that both came to the
conclusion that the less said about
it the better. Ifthis conclusion had
been arrived at when the rupture
first occurred, instead of now, after
each has said as mean things of the
other, in print, as could well be
framed into words, it would have
been all the more to the credit of
the parties concerned. These per-
sonal wartarcs generally end in re-
pentance and modification. 1t is
not little to the credit Of the men
that they are ashamed ofthemselves
even ut this latteod day.

What the Department of Agriculture
is Doing.

Gen. Horace Capron, Commission
err of Agriculture, recently delivered
an Address before an Agricultural
Society in Maryland, from which
We make the following extract:
"Our nation is entering upon a
new era. With increase of area,
giving the widest variety to soils
and climate, accompanied with i'm
migration from every quarter of
the globe, it is daily becoming more
. necessity Of our condition that
new industries should be inaugu-
rated, and new products grown, new
processes Of utilization attempted,
and attention be thus directed from
these great industries pursued
specialtieS, as cotton, or wheat, or
whatever promises to reduce the
profit of labor by over-produc-
ton, and which are always foes
to scientific agriculture and real
improvement.
We are paying tens of millions of
dollars yearly for fibers, oils, fruit,
and other ailments, medicines, and
dys, which can readily be produced
here, thus keeping our treasure at
home, and giving rural labor va
riety and range which will serve
better than trades unions, or any
cxpcdicnts of combination to keep
up the price or improve the condi-
ton Of the laborer, not alone the
laborcr on the farm, but the worker
in all the arts of mechanism and
fabrication.
It is my earnest desire and delib-
crate purpose, in my official capaci-
ty and through the department of the
government over which have been
called to preside, to cooperate with
YOU, and with the friends Of rural
progress everywhere, in all efforts
tending to the advancement of u sci
entitic, systematic, rational and
practical system Of American agri-
culture, suited to our peculiar wants
and circumstances, and not scrvile
copy of any foreign system, howcv-
err advanced in its philosophy or
valuable in its results.
The Department Of Agriculture is
establishing relations with all or
ganized representatives OF asr!cul-
ture, whether governmental or other
wise, making exchange Of seeds,
plants, and publications; it is
searching through the world for
new and valuable plants to acclima-
tixe, new varieties of cereals to test
and, when proved valuable, to dis
