Improving Dairy Farms.

There are more than ten million COW.

whose production does not aggregate oye'
forty million dollars per annum. Few o.
these cows pay their owners any profit /;
the vast bulk of the whole does not pa,
expenses of feed and labor. This is read

cost of years provision for COW, and
allow fair margin for the protection o.
those which really pay profit over and
above the cost of keep and labor OF at

ing its own. Every succeeding year finds
dairy stock increasing, and perforco de-

ton is made, stock will certainly run
down. Originally our stock was the pro.
duce of the best obtainable European
breeds, for we cannot suppose than any
but the oest was brought by our first set,
tiers from Europe. And now, although
much money is being spent in improving
our breeding stock, the wave of improve

Care and Food of Dairy Cows.

A correspondent in the report of the
Wisconsin State Agricultural Society,
gives his experience for twenty years in
that State. lie says:
The care and food of dairy COWS are OF
as much Importance as the proper selec-
ton of the cows for even good COWS, un-
less well fed and cared fora poor prop
erty, yielding little or no profit They
should always have good, comfortable
stables in The winter, be literally sup
piled with the best quality Of hay, with
light feed from one to two quarts OF
meal each day With this treatment, il
ted and watered regularly, they will pass
the winter in good condition, be ia:
enough for beet in the spring, and will
not have to lay on flesh for a number OF
weeks, before they come to a full flow OF
milk.
To secure the most satisfactory re-
suits, good pastures should be provided ;
the tame grasses, timothy and clover, are
the best. y daily mess Of ground feed
through the summer will be found profit
able, and some provision Sowing corn OF
some other crop, to cut up grecn) should
be made for droughts or sho t feed in the
fall. Pastures should have plenty OF
pure water in them, easily accessible al
all times. Shade trees or some kind Of
shelter from the scorching heat Of the
sun are essential to the comfort, and con.
sequently to the proi;ableness, Of the
COW. When the weather is warm and
the flies are troublesome, they should have
pasture to run in nights. at this sea-
son of the year they will feed more in The
night than during the day
Good careful hands at the milkpail axe
very essential in the proper management
of the dairy. Each mixer should hav,
the same COWS assigned to him regularly
night and morning,a and the milking should
be done as nearly as possible to the SAINT
hour each day,
1t is emnently true that the better the
care taken Of the cows, and the bette
they are fed, the greater will be the flow
of milk. The special aim of every dai
ryman should be to get the creates
amount of milk from given number o
COWS, for in this they will find their great
est profit.

Thorough TiIlagc,

Mr.. Harris, thus discusses upon thor.
ough tillage, as means Of rendering
plant food available. He says:
have great faith in the benefits OF
thorough tillage, or in other words, OF
breaking up, pulverizing, and exposing
the soil to the accomplishing action of the
atmosphere. l look upon good strong
soil as kind of storehouse of plant food
soluble. If it were any less soluble than
it is, it would hove all eached out of the
land centuries ago Turning over and
ining a manure heape, if other conditions
are favorable, causes rapid fermentation
with the formation Of carbonate of am.
monia and other soluble salts. Many OF
our soils, to tho depth Of eight or ten
inches, coutain enough heterogeneous mat
ter 10 an acre to produce two or three
thousand pounds of ammonia. By stir
ring the soil and exposing it to the at
mosphere, a small portion Of this nitro
gen becomes annually available, and is
taken up by the growing crops. And it
is so with the other elements of plant
food. Stirring the soil, then, is the bash
of Agriculture. 1t has been said that
we must return to the soil as much plan,
food as we take from it. If this were
true nothing could be sold from the farm
What we should aim to do is to develop
as much as possible OF the plant food that
lies latent in the soil. aud not to sell il

ais, any more of this plant food than W,
annually develop from the soil. In thi,
way the condition" of the soil would
remain the same. It we sell less thar
We develop, the condition Of the soil will
improve very much.
By condition" | mean the amount Of
available plant food i'll the soil. The
strip of land on which the old fence stood
in Mr. Dewey's field contained more plant
food than the soil on either side of it

uDdecomposed. 1t was SO much dead
capital The land on either side which
had been cultivated for years produced
better crops. Why? Simply because
the stirring Of the soil had developed
more plant food than had been removed
by the crops. If the stirring of the sol

the other hand, the latter would contain

Keep Young Stock Thriving.

be put upon it, although it would be
scarcely possible to fatten au animal

very essential that all young growing
stock should be kept thriving FIVE would
obtain the greatest profit from them, or
even any profit at the present, especially
where land costs over fifty dollars per
acre. How shall we do it? In the first
place, we must have healthy, hardy,

no less so. Here We have good start

hey are taken in hand and cared for
with such attention that they want for
neither nutritious food nor comfort to keep
hem growing and thriving. To obtain
this end, dependence must be largely
placed upon the dam, the milk from whom
must be the chief food of the young, for
some weeks at least. The dam, in order
TO furnish this, must be fed carefully and
be judiciously cared for in all respects,
and the young are supposed not to want
for food, drink or comfort single hour
from the time they are brought forth. BY
his means the young take on and keep
up continuous or rapid growth, attain
ing large size and heavy weight at an
early age. The want Of care of breeding
animals, at any season, not ouly shows its
effects upon the dam, but it is shared in
its effects by the young, which no other
treatment can remedy. The comfort OF
all animals, old as well as young, must
be studied and yielded to, or they cannot
thrive. This one word-comfort-is q
comprehensive one, applied in the sense
here indicated, and signifies that the an.
mal is not to suffer for the want of food
drink, necessary shelter, cleanliness, etc
An animal may be made uncomfortable
by over care or over feeding, as well al
from want Of a suficiency. Any caus,

Organize Farmers Clubs.

The season has come when the labors
Of the field are over, and agricultural
meetings will DE held by the farmers to
compare notes aud speak of the success
aud failures Of the year. Among the
most encouraging signs tf the times is
the widespread sprt Of inquiry that
pervades the tanning community. The
extent that Agricultural papcrs are taken,
the attendance at agricultural conventions
and farmers clubs gives au abundant
evidence Of au increased desire for inior-
nation in the farming community. A
farmers club should be organized in
every town. Township clubs can be
formed on the simplest plan, with regular
meetings through the fall and winter,
where the entire farming community can
gather to express their views, each in his
own way and to draw out new thoughts
on new subjects. 1t is also an additional
institution. The farmer learns to ex-
press his views with clearness and precis-
ion, and has an opportunity 20 ask from
his fellow farmers for information upon
any point that is in any way connected
with the subjects that are brought before
the club for discussion. These club
meetings give us the experience which is
the most practical instructor. One FAR
mer comes to the club meeting to tell his
mode Of raising corn or tobacco--frst up
on what kind Of soil, when and how many
times it was ploughed, what kind Of fer
tilzers were used if composted how it
was done. Another tells about cutting
and curing hay, whether best cut early OF
late what kind of top dressing used how
and when to apply it. Another. who Is
in the dairy business, gives his experience
in feeding mich cows, making aud mar
keting butter. Another, the use Of agri
cultural implements, etc. These practi
cal statements Of the experiences Of som'
OF the best farmers in the country are o
more value than all that has been writer
in books.
Prof. Stockbridge, Of the State Agri
cultural College, in his remarks at th
late meeting Of the Franklin Harves
Club said it was to develope and condens
what the farmers already know, and
The faculty Of this institution had at thei
command all the farmers knew abou
farming, and if their knowledge could b
put into ineligible and available expires
sion, it would add greatly to the bene6
of their instruction This kno@ledg
must be brought out in some way, and i
no way better than by the farmers club
or farmers experience meetings" W
hope to see thus early in the season

at times that was unable to eat. Have taken
many preparations. but with no effect until
tried your Vegetino. After taking few doses,
found it relieved the faintness at the stomach that
always accompanies canker humor; and, by the
time had taken the third bottle, my mouth was
entirely cured. Have not been troubled with 1t

have recommended it to several Of my acquaint-
ances, and every one speaks favorably Of its good
effect. Yours truly, p. ;. SHERMAN.

SCROEULOUS HIIMOKS


II Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify
and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to
perfect health after trying different physicians,
many remedies, suffering for years, is it not
elusive proof, if you sufferer, you can be
cured? Why is this medicine performing such
great cures? 1t works in the blood, in the circu-
lating fluid. 1t can truly be called the Gr.a
Blood Purifier. The great source of disease orig
mates in the blood; and no medicine that does
not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate,
has any just claim upon public attention. When
the blood becomes liicless and stagnant, either
from change of weather or climate, want Of exer-
else, irregular diet, or from any other cause, the
Negetine will renew the blood, carry off the put
rid humors, cleanse the stomach, regulate the
bowels and impart tone of vigor to the whole
body The conviction is, in the public mind as
well as in the medical profession, that the rcme-
dies supplied by the Vegetable Kingdom are
more safe, more successful, in the cure of di-
sease, than mineral medicines Vegetine is com
posed of roots barks and herbs. 1t is pleasant
to take, and is perfectly safe to give an infant.
In Scrofula the Vegetine has performed wonder
full cnres where many other remedies have fail
ed, as will be seen by few of the many testimo-
nials given.
