Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1875-04-23

If gentle and mild treatment is observed
aud persevered in, the operation Of milking
appears to be one of pleasure to the animal,
as il undoubtedly is but if an opposite
course is pursued,-if, at every restless
movement, caused, perhaps, by pressing a
sore teat, the animal is harshly spoken to-
she will be likely to learn to kick as habit,
and il will be difficult to overcome II ever
afterwards. To induce quiet and readiness
to give down the milk freely, it is better that
the COW should be fed at milking time with
cut feed, or roots, placed within her easy
reach.
After all the COW is to be regarded as an
instrument Of transformation, a machine for
the fabrication Of milk. The food is the raw
material, milk the product, SdLaJie aud al
ways in demand. The machine, or the COW,
is the capital invested, costing nearly as
much when not running, or running on half
work, as when on full steam. How absurd,
therefore, how Shortsighted, and un6usiness
kke it is for the farmer to slacken up the
supply Of raw material, or by neglect, ex-
posure, or the employment of careless hands,
TO suffer the machine to get out Of order, or
to yield a produce far below its natural ca.
pacity. With so much hay, so much grain,
so many roots, how can the most milk, or
butter, or cheese be made? The conduct of
q manufacturer who owned good machipery,
and an abundance of raw material, and had
the labor at hand, would be considered as
very absurd, if he hesitated to supply the
material. and keep the machinery at work,
at least so long as he could run it with profit.
Stimulate the appetite, then, and induce
the COW to eat, by frequent change Of diet,
not merely enough to supply the constant
waste of her system, but enough and to spare,
of food adapted to the production of milk

For the VERMONT FARMER.
Going in Debt.

In the FARMER of April 8, 1 noticed
piece, Don't go in Debt" You say there
is a great temptation for man, especially
young man, to undertake to " set up for him
self" before he is really able. Especially is
this the case with the young American farm
er. You advise the young men to hire out
until they are able to buy, or nearly so the
farm. My experience is that young, un-
married man that works out for a living,
aud has no one but himself to take care Of,
spends his money for dress and excitement,
and they don't lay up much; and for
young married man to pay house rent, fuel,
provisions, clothing, and other necessities. at
the end of the year, how much better off is
he than at the beginning2 Also if he or
any of his family are sick and he cannot
work, his income stops, and he is surely 60
ing down. Some young men commence with
taking farm at the halves now it one half
will support his family tho other half ought
to pay the interest and something besides.
| should advise the young man to buy his
farm il he pays nothing down, and has his
stock and tools to begin with; then he has
an interest that he never had when at work
for some one else, and every dollar that he
pays gives more satisfaction than if put in
the bank. You say men seldom start in
trade without capital of their own, and
when they do, in nine cases out Of ten they
turn bankrupt in less than ten years. If a
man can mako money with a capital of his
own, why can't he on borrowed capital, for
he could put it out and get interest the same
as he has to pay. 1t is poor management
that cannot make the farm pay the interest
and support family. l know of parties
that bought farms ten and fifteen years ago,
with scarcely anything to commence with,
that are nearly out of debt and prospering,
At certain times in the year farmers are
short of money, and must have groceries and
other small articles. My advice is to Dor.
row the amount you need, and pay interest
on the same, to pay your small bills, so that
you don't owe every man you meet from one
to ten dollars. You say if you have the
best of success, and all of your plans turn
out we'll, you will meet with success. But
how often do sickness and misfortunes over.
take US. / would ask if there is man liv'
ing, whether he has money of his own or il
debt, but has his misfortunes and days o.
anxiety. In looking around / can call t.
mind more cases of bankrupts where the
young man was left with farm and bank

Treatment of Heifers.

The longer the young cow, with her first
and second calf can be made to hold out,
the more surely will this habit be fixed upon
her, Stop milking her four months before
the next calf, and it will be difficult to make
her hold out to within four or six weeks Of
the time Of oalving afterwards. Induce her,
If possible, by moist and succulent feod, and
by careful milking, to hold out even up to
the time Of calving, if you desire to milk
her so long, and this habit will be likely to
be fixed upon her for life But do not ex-
pect to obtain the full yield of COW the
first year after cAlVing. Some Of the very
best cows are slow to. develop their best
qualities; and no COW reaches her prime till
the age Of Eve or six years.
Aud here we have suggestion to make,
OF too great Importance to be overlooked or
disregarded, with reference to the time the
young heifer should be allowed to come in.
Suppose heiier came in with her first calf
in winter, or cold weather, which prevents
the distention of the tissues Of the skin, and
on dry food, such as she would generally
have at that season, and which produces at
best but little milk. The organs of secretion
will have but slight development, compared
with what they otherwise would, and will
adapt themselves to small yield Of milk.
This will be likely to become fixed habit
which it will be exceedingly difficult to break
up. Hence we sometimes find external signs
aud actual results contradictory.
The extreme Importance Of care and at
tentiOn to these points cannot be oVeresti'
mated. There is constant tendency to dry
up in milch COWS; and it must be guarded
against with special care, till the habit Of
yielding a large quantity, and yielding it
long, becomes fixed in the young animal,
when, with proper care, it may easily be
kept up.

Cost of Wintering Stock.

In New England the cost Of wintering
horses is greatest in Rhode Island. This
fact may be explained by tho proximity of
the agricultural regions to the town aud city
markets. The farmers of this state obtained
higher prices for hay and corn during the
last year than in any other state in the
Union; hay there averaged S24.66 per ton
corn Sl.l9 per bushel, and oats 73 cents.
The averages Of states were as follows =
Maine, $37; New Hampshire, S37; Yer
mont, S3S; Massachusetts, $45; Rhode
Island, S4S; Connecticut, S45.
The cost Of winteripg milch COWS in New
England varies from S23 per head in New
Hampshire to S38 in Massachusetts Maine
averages 500; Vermont, S25; Rhode ISL
and, $50; Connecticut, s37.
To winter sheep in Maine costs about So
per head in New Hampshire, $3.50; in
Vermont, $3.50. In Massachusetts the ag-
gregate Of these animals is too small, aud
the individual AOcks too scanty to give q
basis for estimate. Rhode Island and Con-
necticut return very high rates.-DePart'

Barn Cellars.

l suppose it is wicked to be hereto, but
the observation Of the past few years has
made me one on the subject of barn eel
When, generation or so ago, the farmers
began TO awake TO the idea that they were
wanting more manure than they raised, barn
cellars were at once introduced as a complete
cure all for the evil and in some cases they
answered portion of the original design,
but have they not done nearly as much harm
as good? In large proportion of the 80
called best barns a stable full Of cattle stand
six months in the year over fetid, steam
ing, smoking mass Of filth, the fumes Of
which, except 10 the coolest weather, are
constantly working their way up through
the cracks 10 the floor to be inhaled by the
poor brutes, and then to give most delicate
flavor TO tho milk, cheese or butter no
matter how much absorbent is used, it is
impossible to prevent the efiuvium from
arising.
These same fumes, too, are sent up into
the hay to give the hay faint odor and re-
mind the cattle, even at meal time, Of what
is beneath them. Is it any wonder that vir-
ulent diseases break out among the herds
kept over the manure heaps2 | rather won
der that every creature standing thus ioes
not become affected, aud that pleuros and
ievers are not an every day occurrence.
Perhaps cellar might be so construed
with ventilatOrs reaching to the roof as TO
prevent any danger from this fruitful source
Of disease, but it Is at present seldom ever
| done.
Some one may ask how would you save
all the manure7 1t is doubtful if for all
practical purposes there is anything better
than cement.lined trench at the rear Of
the stable, carefully filled with fresh earth,
as oflen as it becomes soaked with urine,
when tho manure can be wheeled into pens
built under adjacent sheds, where the hog
can have abundant opportunity to stir up au
odorous perfume If he wants, without endan'
gering tho health of the herd or the reputa'
tion Of the dairy.
One OF the most successful farmers in my
acquaintance has only an earth platform in
his stable with heavy timber at the rear
to prevent the dirt from working back, while
the ground in the rear is daily sprinkled
with fresh dry earth to absorb the urine
He claims special advantage from having biz
COWS lie on the ground. He thinks they are
much healthier, and then they are never GOV,

Cheap Backing"


In the Farmer Of the 18th, under the head
Of agricultural Items" is "Cheap Black
ing" to be made of iron rust and vinegar and
recommending il to be applied to fred boots
is good for all kinds of leather and will
not iniure il in the least" think it would
be difficult to get more error in so short au
article upon this subject.
Almost all the upper leather Of boots and
shoes is blacked upon the flesh side-but a
small portion for this purpose being blacked
upon the grain side.
Backing for the flesh side is mostly lamp
black and neatsfoot oil, which would be the
best known application for leather you wish
to keep in a soft, pliable condition, whether
blacked upon the flesh or grain side. 1t
should always be applied when the leather
is damp or even soaking wet--the slower it
dries the better. Avoid the heat Of the fire
to dry in-freezing, rather, is desirable to
help soften and preserve. Blacking made
of iron rust and vinegar is more stain than
blacking. If put upon dry leather it might
not have any damaging effect because it
would not penetrate into the leather, but if
applied TO moist or wet leather, it would
penetrate, and the more it penetrated the
more damage it would do. Leather dress
ers only apply it sparingly on dry leather,
moistened to the least possible depth, with
4 stiff brush
Those who wish to preserve leather should
bear in mind that hide becomes leather by
the infusion of certain barks, and where
pliability is desired, neatsfoot oil and tallow
are added, which is also preservation; that
continued wetting and drying take out first
the oil and then the bark, and destroy the
life of the leather hence avoid wetting and
drying as much as possible. Renew the oil
and tallow (either or bothl as often as wet,
if practicable-dry in slowly-a the water
goes out the oil goes in. Fresh butter is
the next best application. Lamp black is
not essentially necessary, but helps fill up
the pores and adds to the appearance.
Avoid all waterproofs ;lthey are impracticable
and often damaging. If they were not, some
leather or shoe manufacturer would get the
monopoly and make fortune out OF them.
These instructions are applicable to upper
leather in shoes, harnesses, betting, &C., or
wherever pliability is desired in leather

Banishing Rats.

Your correspondent A. N. p, page l5l,
ia entitled to an answer about those rats.
Three or four pounds of copperas dissolved
in one gallon of water would have been
much more effective. If but one rat, put
two quarts Of corn and oat meal into peck
measure, or box near that size, and let him
eat all he wants for two nights; then bury
one or two steel rat-traps in the meal, and
set it in the same place; partly cover the
measure or box, 30 it cannot carry OH the
trap. In this way, he can catch one every
night for long time; but it will do no good
more will come to the funeral lie must
get old-fashioned potash that is soft, and put
in an earthen platter; thin it down to the
consistency of mud then place it iu posi-
ton that the rat will be obliged to stand in
it to eat his meat or bait, which should be
fastened so that he will stand in it a long
while for two or three days or nights, which
will be sufficient for the comfort Of their feet.
l once had a place in my cellar, behind
large bin, where | believe every rat in the
cellar made highway. placed in that
road two large pie platters, filled with soft
potash, near two holes which they had gnaw-
ed through the bin partitions, so that they
were obliged to 60 through the potash. In
one week every rat was missing, and not an
other rat was seen or heard in or about the
house for one year. The hard potash of
commerce will not answer it cannot be
made, like sticky mad, to adhere to their
feet. Il. +. ScoTT.
Let me tell A. N. p, through your col
ums, how I got rid of rats. l took a COM
mon sugar Kettle, and half filled it with wa
ter, then l sprinkled over the top a coating
of bran, and put it in corner Of the barn,
where the rats would have easy access to it.
l also laid narrow strip across the top OF
the kettle, so that the rats could run back
and forth over it, and observing the meal
below, they would jump down, and being
unable to climb up the sides Of the iron ket-
tie they would drown. The first night l
caught no less than nineteen rats; the next
night fourteen, and so on, decreasing each
night until could catch no more; and ever
since, when | see any signs of rats return
ing, have only to put out the kettle for
few times, and they are banished. The ket-
tie requires to be so set that they will have
no difficulty in getting on the top, and all
over it'll. LAVENDER, Ontario.
Several inquiries Prospecting the best
means of ridding cellars aud other places OF
rats have been made in your paper. These
animals have a great dislike to our common
field mullen, UerbaSeum hapus. | have
made it a practice for years to gather this
weed and scatter it about, either green or
dry, near the holes and haunts Of these rep
tiles, and they have invariably manifested
their dislike to its presence by leaving the
premises.-L. G. L., Bridge1cter, Mass.
