Dairy Husbandry IR the south

Ii We are 10 have any improvement il
our old system of planting and farming.
1t Is time TO consider the ways and changes
open 10 our adoption. American farmer
will export in the year 1874, now near lie
close, not far from 100, 900, 900 pounds OF
cheese. Seven years ago our export Of
this article was only $4,000, 900 pounds !;
and few years before that, we imported
more cheese than we exported. Our an
uual butter production is estimated Iat
about fourteen hundred million pounds.
and the foreign demand is not supplied.
At recent meeting Of the New Yori>
Dairy1nen's Association, Mr.. Blanchard
stated that he knew a dairyman who,
during the past season, had made an aver
age of 1903 pounds of butter from each OF
seventeen cows that he had sold it for
forty cents pound and that this result
was reached by special feeding. In thi.
case the COWS eat with bran and corn
meal, all the butter-milk after the butter
was extracted. One COW of this extra
dairy Is reported as making 464 pounds az
butter in 1873; receiving all the grass.
bran, and of other feed she would eat.
Mr.. Real, of Philadelphia, said hi.
friend Mr.. Boyce, of Illinois, keeps 400
cows stops milking them about the first
VI bhiS anu has JbtIll COlllS III ABOUT Lnt
first of November. His object is TO pro-
duce fresh butter in the winter season,
when he gets IS cents a pound for all he
can make. BY high feeding and the best
of care he averages over 800 pounds OF
butter 10 the COW. Call it at that figure
and each brings in sl35, and the 400 the
handsome sum Of fifty four thousand dol
lars.
Can any good reason be given WHY
cows may not be kept as well in Tennes-
see as in IllinoisY We need some yaria-
ton to our present agricultural industry.
Can we do better than to raise dairy
stock, and share with our brother farmers
of the more Northern States in the bene-
hts and profits to accrue from this depart
ment of huSbandry? With most of them
it is new industry; yet, so far as we can
learn, al are satisfied and doing at least
reasonably well. Our lack OF self-confi-
dence and enterprise will have q discour-
aging effect upon immigrants, If any are
inclined TO come and settle in our State.

4 correspondent writes to the Depart

knowledge. The more industry and In
tellect one puts into an acre of soil, the
more money he is likely te take out of il.
His judgment should tell him that wheat
crops will pay best in the markets within
his reach, with n small farm close in
hand, small taxes, and small outgo for la
Dor, feed and working stock There Is
both art and good sense in keeping down
expenses on the farm, and In Other
branches OF business.
Success in tillage and husbandry d.
ponds on the capacity of the human brain.
rather than upon the size of ones planta-
ton. One family, by skill, industry and
economy, becomes rich by cultivating 20
acres only, while another family grow
poor by the bad management of I, ZOO un-
der the pillow. II is not the pursuit, but
the man, that is failure. The farmer
often grasps more acres than he can han
die to the best advantage, and all arr
more or less sighted at certain times and
seasons to the injury of his cash income.
Labor IS misdirected or neglected till ont
of season, when vitality in seeds and
plants does no good. On small far1n
every blow may be struck at the proper
moment.
Every person has but limited quaint
ty OF force, physical and mental and 1t
is the most common of all mistakes to
dilute and spread this force over too largt
a surface. 1t is not the diffusion of mus
cular strength, but its concentration that
bores artesian wells, and draws a fount-
ain OF living water from the strata OF
rocks hundreds of feet in thickness to the
surface for the use of uneducated man.
Dlffused labor on large farm is like tie

spaces before the telescope collects them
together, and thereby extends human vi

The cultivator OF the earth needs time
and opportunity for profitable study.
How shall lie command such an advan-
tage: Not. surely, by holding more Land
than he uses with any benefit to his fam-
ly, or TO mankind at large. The Demo
cratic doctrine of seeking "the greatest
good OF the greatest number" forbids al

FIELD AND FARM.
THE DOG WARFARE"

Under the above caption, the
Monthly Report Of the Department OF
Agriculture, for January, contains a
Suggestive article, in which facts are
presented that should arouse the peo-
ole of the whole country TO an APP.
probation OF the folly Of maintain.
INC hord of worthless dogs 10 de.
st,oy valuable hocks Of sheep. Sta.
Estics are presented from 500 coun.
ties in IS States, showing that in
twelve months previous 79,485 sheep
had been killed by dogs. This does
cot include the MANNED or injured,
and presents only partial view OF
the discouraging picture. The direct
loss sustained annually by the PEG.
ole OF this country, in wool and NUT
Ton, arising from this cause, is not
less than one million dollars. An
indirect loss of even larger amount
is sustained.
4 report is presented from q
counties in Tennessee, in which there
we're ll,467 sheep killed within q
year, distributed IS follows:
Rhes, u; Coffee, 4Oj Giles. l,I5O /:

total IL, 49,, number OF sheep, 24S59j.
Thus it will be seen that in these
counties, more than four per cent. Of
all the sheep are annually destroyed
BY dogs. We have no doubt but that
full and accurate report from all the
soInties in the State will show a
ratio OF losses equally as large as
tAst shown in the p counties
above mentioned. And as an Offset
70 this great loss, we have absolutely
90 gain whatever. The dogs are al.
most entirely worthless.
Yet we have never had = Legisla-
tore wise enough, or bold enough,
10 take hold of the question
Of protecting sheep by practical, Wig
orous legislation. At the last Legis-
lSture a Law was passed giving the
County Courts the power TO tax dogs,
but it has been done in very few, if
10 any single instance. In Court
composed of from forty to sixty JUS
tees Of the Peace, there are always
enough found who are afraid Of the
votes and influence OF the dog-orarrS.
to defeat any practical measure Of
this Kind. In that way this fearful
loss i saddled upon our bes. farm.
ers, and they have no way OF pro.
tecting themselves. Thus q most
practicable branch of husbandry is left
20 suffer and to languish. Thus hun
deeds of thousands of dollars in cap
nal are annually lost to our State, and
the people are crying hard times, E"
while they seem TO be blind TO this
loss.
We earnestly hope that our present
Legislature viii have the good sense

tenoe and protecting the sheep. We
trust that the State Grange, now in
session here, will take some action on
