CLEAN MILK AND CLEAN MILKING.-A
dairyman writes on the subject, as follows:
Having recently commenced selling milk,
1 find it requires much care to keep the
cows perfectly clean, and have adopted
some new measures which may be of some
interest to other mixers. In the first place
the floor on which the cows stand is raised
so that the water will run back into the
trench, which is about six inches below the
floor. Before begin to milk, take hoe
and clean this floor. / then take a bucket
large enough to hold cows bag, fill it with
cold water, with which wash their bags
thoroughly, which not only makes them
clean, but prevents their teats from becom-
ing sore. Sawdust is then spread on the
floor, and as I have some cows which are
inclined to brush my face when milking,
take cord, pass it over pulley which is
fastened overhead behind the cows, attach
a weight to one end of the cord, slip-noose
the other end around the cows tail, which
prevents her from brushing dirt into the
milk; then brush the cows and begin to
milk where l began to wash. l milk into
wooden pail, turn it into tin strainer
pail, and then strain it into tin can thro'
a cloth strainer, which is attached to the top
Of the can by wire; and we hear no COM
plant of dirty milk.

ROOTS FOR STOCK.

Perhaps in the course of time farmers
will begin TO compare notes between rails
ing small grain and grass. l think if more
attention was paid the latter, it would pay
better than grain. l think it can be con-
clusively shown that if half the amount of
labor was devoted to meadows and pas
lures, which is at present devoted to the
culture of wheat and oats, there would be
greater margin of profits at the years end
for the farmer, and with more ease. But
this supposes a certain amount of capital,
which l think is not very general; there
fore men are compelled to act as circum-
stances suggest. When Illinois has fewer
acres of small grain, and more acres of
good grass and roots, with corn, her posi-
ton among the States will be one of great
ness in wealth and social influence. Roots
are invaluable, combined with hay and
corn; only those who have tried the prac-
tice can fully appreciate their importance
as promoter of healthy growth and fat
tening principles. / am aware that some
object to them on account of their watery
nature. Their virtues lie in this. What
more healthy to the animal system than
pure water, and where so pure as in the
vegetable, distilled and filtered by an I'M
erring principle? Three-fourths of the an
imal system is composed of water; then
how necessary to have a proper supply in
its purity. To all who are skeptical about
the utility of roots, would say, try them,
that is the only touchstone of comparison.
You shall give hogs, say mangels, boiled
or steamed, along with little corn meal,
and those hogs will thrive and grow more
rapidly than when fed on corn exclusively.
Psychologists say that man can live too
much or too long on a concentrated diet,
which is equally as prejudicia to his health
as the reverse. This is as applicable to the
lower animals as to man; the same immu-
table laws govern each. | think necessity
will compel their (the roots adoption.
When that occurs, l venture to predict
there will be fuller pockets and less whin-
ing.-Cor. Country Gentleman.

The American Agriculturist says: The
quantity of manure that can be saved and
manufactured from twenty head of cattle
in year, is astonishing to an old style far
mer, who believes in the good old stuff. but
is too close to hire labor. The writer came
into possession of a rundown farm last
spring, with about 40 loads of manure in
the two barnyards, as the result of last wears
operations. The practice in the neighbour
hood is to clean the yards in the spring. and
let them lie bare until after haying, when
few loads of dirt and seaweed are carted in.
which lasts for the year. As soon AS the
yards were cleaned, we began to cart in old
butts, stack bottoms, swamp mud, decayed
leave, headlands and seaweed, adding ev-
cry week a few loads, and ploughing occa-
sionally to mix the droppings Of the cattle
with the contents Of the yard All the ma
nure from the horses, cattle and pigs was
thrown into the yards and mixed with the
accommodating mass. By September we had
at least $50 loads of compost of much better
quality than was carted out in the spring,
ready to be spread upon the meadows, or
to he placed under for grain, and the best
part of the year for making manure is still
ahead. In the common practice of leaving
the yards bare during the summer, the
most valuable part of the manure is lost for
want of absorbents, even if the cattle are
yarded at night There is nothing to save
the liquid manure which is worth quite as
much rs the solid. Most of the ammonia,
escapes into the atmosphere. But with
plenty of good absorbents and the frequent
ploughng and narrowing of the yard, moth
ing is lost. All the refuse material dropped
in the yard becomes charged with ammo
mia, and plant food is manufactured very
fast. 1t tells upon the grass, grain and root
crops Immediately, and the process of rem
ovaing begins. This of course costs labor,
and the outlay of capital, but it is a kind of
expenditure that pays very soon in the in
creased crops. We must either do this or
worse. 1t will not do to RELY upon COM
morcial fertilizers for ordinary farming.
The great bulk of fertilizers must be made
at home. Neither will it pay to have lean
barnyards and grow grass at the rate of
three-quarters of a ton to the acre, 25 bush
els of corn, 80 of oats, 10 of rye, and so of
potatoes. The farm runs down, and the
farmers purse grows lean with this kind of
management. We want to double and ire
BILE these crops, and by saving manure any
farmer of ordinary intelligence can readily
do it.

Farm and F1reSaM.


The age at which cattle can be probably
fattened, will depend much upon their
breeding, and the manner in which they
have been reared. Steers or hefers, hav-
ing from half to three iourths Shorthorn or
Hereford blood in them, and that have been
kept in thrifty, growing condition from
calfhood, are usually sufficiently advanced
to be put up to fatten when from 80 to SO
months old Pure bred animals of Short
horn or Hereford blood may be profitably
fattened at an earlier age. A cross of one
half to three-quarters Devon blood on com
mon stock, makes an animal that can go
into the tails at two or three years old, if
kept in good condition. Common native
cattle can rarely be profitably fed for the
butcher till they are four years old. If cat
tie are put up to fatten before their growth
has sufficiently advanced, so rs to bring
them near their full capacity of laying up
substance, much of the food given them in
stead of going to make them fat, will be
wasted in adding bone and muscle, which
could have been obtained more cheaply by
giving them time to complete their devel-
opment on ordinary keep. Besides, the eff
fort to fatten an animal when in an imma-
ture state, can only result in producing meat
ofavery inferiorqualty, and commandinga
much less price than if the same animal had
been kept on longer until its frame had be-
come solid and well knit together, its mus
Giles developed to their full capacity, and its
stomach capable of dgesting and assimilat-
ing larger amount of food than is actual
ly required to sustain the ordinary growth
and wear and tear of life, without derange-
ment of its vitality.
There are every year great numbers of
young cattle sold to the butcher, or slaught-
cred by farmers, and their carcasses brought
TO market at the close of the grass season,
when they are in state of develop
ment that renders their flesh of an inter
mediate quality between veal and beef,
without the tenderness of the one or the
rich iuicness of the other, but as flavorless
and worthless as any flesh can well be. 1t
is sheer folly to sacrifice such animals tor
the sake of the paltry saving of few
months food, when by keeping them over
one winter more they would bring nearly
double their present value, and be fit to
make into beef that is full of rich, savory
juices.
Stall feeding cattle, judicously conduct
ed, presents to the grain grower the most
efficient, cheap, desirable method of keep
ing up the fertility of his farm, and the
most profitable means of disposing of his
surplus hay, roots and coarse grains. The
manure made from such cattle, were it all
ln Il
be amply sufficient TO repay the farmer for
his trouble; while the hay and grain so
consumed would sell in the shape of beef
for higher price than if it had been taken
to market.-Cdnddd Farmer.

There is one luxury which The majority
of farmers deprive themselves of, which
gives more comfort in comparison to the
cost than is generally supposed; and which
is at the same time available to nearly ALL
| refer to supply of ice in warm weather.
70 many dairy farmers this is not only a
luxury but an article of necessity, in order
to govern the temperature of milk and
cream when very cold water is not at hand.
But, considered simply as an article of lux
ury, it well pays the slight expense neccs-
sary to its preservation.
Until within a few years it has been thot
necessary to put ice below the surface to
have it keep well, and the expense of fitting
an ice-house to correspond with this theory
was considerable, so that comparatively
few have enjoyed the luxury. But il has
been satisfactorily demonstrated lately that
ice can be kept above ground, the only
condition necessary being that it is sur
rounded on all sides with non-conductor
of heat, and properly covered from rain and
sun.
Take any out-oi-the-way corner in the
woodshed or barn, or even an unused horse
stall. Partition it Off to the desired size.
which will depend upon the quantity of ice
to he stored; one 7xS feet, and 6 or feet
high, will contain enough for an ordinary
family Of six to ten persons, unless q large
quantity is used in the dairy, in which case
it should be larger. Or il may be conven-
lent for two or more families to use the
same room There should be no floor, or
if there is il should be perforated so that all
the moisture will be freely drained off, for
some will melt. The ground quickly alb
serbs the water, and it is preferable to a
floor. 1t is advisable, but not necessary, to
board up on both sides of the studding and
FIJI in all around with sawdust or spent tan.
Put from one to two feet upon the ground
or floor, put in the ice, which should be cut
in blocks as large as can be laid in the
room, leaving the necessary space of II to
10 inches all around the four sides of the
room. BE careful to cut the blocks square
ly and smoothly 50 that it will pack closely.
1t is quite important that no large cracks or
spaces are left Fill in Il cold day with
clear, blue ice if possible. Tread the saw
dust down firmly around the sides and put
on covering of about Il feet on top, and
you may count on ice till Oct. lst, and prob
ably the year round.
A box should be provided, with false
bottom made of STATS in which to keep va
rious articles, such as pieces of meat, fish,
the cream-pot or the butter plate. Also
shelves can be put up in the ice-room on
which to keep things cool.
A lump weighing or pounds in pail
OF water, carried to the field and set in
shady place, will give an abundance Of ice
water through the day. 1t may be drank
without risk, in small quantities at time,
and being always at hand, extreme thirst is
avoided. 1t is the heavy draught when one
is quite thirsty that causes the commotion
with the inner man. After one trial of the
ice water as above recommended, beer,
milk and water, and slops of all kinds, will
be discarded.
Instinct and ingenuity will devise plenty
