THE GRANGE ADVANCE,
TUESD AY, JAN. 10, 1874.

FEEDING Cows. Dairyman's
Association of New York, at a re-
cent meeting had an interesting dis
cussion on the profits of high feed
ing, and the methods Of improving
the quality and yield of butter.
From the 7,lbWe'S interesting &C.
count we make the following ex-
tract:
AS to improving the dairy, Mr.. Boics
believes in giving COWS all the good
food they can be made to cat and d.
gest, and in feeding all the time the
cow is in milk, grass or no grass. With
a dairy of lO2 COWS, calving from Sep
TENDER until now, he has an average of
over 26 pounds of milk per day, up to
to this time. lie feeds each COW 6
pounds corn meal pounds wheat bran,
and 3 pounds oil-meal daily, besides all
the hay and corn fodder they will cat
It is. he thinks, mistake that :judicious
high feeding to COWS in milk Injuries
them or causes them to wear out sooner,
and he has no difficulty in getting
them with calf. With winter tlairying
about "a pounds of milk make {, pound
of butter. In October, 81 pounds made
one of butter. The dairy of Judge
Wilcox, numbering 81 cows, gave dur
ing 1874, with what in comparison
would be called moderate feeding, a
milk average Of $3.50 pounds each.
Doubts were expressed by several
whether the net profits were greater
with high than with moderate feeding.
Those who had tried the former seemed
entirely satisfied that they found it
more profitable.

WASHINGTON AND HIS HATCHEr.
The old story Of George Washing
ton, his fathers cherry tree and the
little Ratchet, seems to be no more
popular among the boys of the pres
ent day, than Washington's honor
as statesman and hatred of political
tr1ckery is among modern politicians.
AT least the boy of whom the fol-
lowing story is told is more apt to
be a King, a Butler or a Kellogg
than Washington:
A benevolent fruit raiser. much an
noyed by the boys who robbed him of
his finest peaches, one day CHANGED to
see minute marauder 60 up into one
OF his trees. He was ready for the
emergency, for he had provided large
stuffed dog, which he placed at the foot
of the tree, and then retired little to
watch the effects Of his strategy. The
little boy, having filed his stomach and
his pockets with fruit, was about to de-
scend, when his frightened eye rested
upon the animal. First he tried bland
ishments, viz, whistling, coaxing.
Then he tried the sterner lodges, viz,
threatening, scolding. All was thrown
away upon the stuffed dog, standing
;sternly there, and never moving his stiff
tail an inch to the right Or the left. The
little boy had never seen dog like that,
and after a while ne understood that
the tree must be his dormitory for the
night. The hours dragged YEARLY on.
The stuffed dog looked bigger and big
ger in the dark. There was plenty of
peaches, but where was the little boy
to find appetite In the morning
the owner appeared, and asked the it,
tie boy how he happened to be in the
tree. Alas ! not in the least regener.
ated by his suaerings, he answered that
he had been chased by the dog, and had
assembled for safety.

upon floors straw covered, and are fed
from long brick troughs, 50 made as to
allow of sweeping and washing. The
milk is carried to town in bright brass
cans, or is usc;l in butter making. The
women come in from milking the cows
in the fields, and strain, or "sift " the
milk into cans, preparatory to starting,
with dog carts, for the city. Only the
most valuable COWS are kept in the
house. The clurn consists Of barrel
on end with windmill inside. This
little mill is connected with IL large
wheel and swings it's arms and " brings
the butter with the assistance Of IL dis
couragcd looking dog made to run round
and round like Il squirrel in the wheel of
his cage, and with IL degree Of personal
satisfaction equal to that with which IL
horse climbs the ncvcr-ending hill of !,

KIND TREATMENT OF kINE.-We
should not Recommend our readers
to adopt exactly the method which
prevails in Holland diaries for the
management of COWS, though an
imitation of the Hollander's kindness
and care, would no doubt be profit
able.
The famed dairies of Holland
are peculiar institutions. The cow
house is under the same roof with the
rooms of the family, and is, in fact,
as much part of the house as is the
kitchen. The master sleeps in the
.cow-house, or in the room adjoining
if the latter, he has by the head of hi,
bed window in the wall, which com
mands view Of the COWS. 1t is onl,
necessary for him to raise his hea'
from the pillow, as the COWS ore illu
minated by eanales-a luxury whicl
the members Of the family cannot al
ways afford for themselves. The stabl
is built of brick and ornamemnted wit
black painted wood. The windows ar
small, with gratings of wood in imita
tions of iron bars. The COWS, mostl
black and white speckled, and pretty a
pictures, are tied in long rows, standin
