Cows that are coming in should be kept
quiet, and fed with moderation. If the
calf is taken away as soon as dropped,
out of sight and hearing, and kept there,
it will avoid much uneasiness with nerv-
Gus cows, and often prevent Withholding

stinate cases of garget may often be
cured by injecting strong solution of
bi-carbonate of soda into the teats
with a syringe, and milking it out, re-

bathing the udder with cold water, with
little tincture of arnica in it If gar

SEASONABLE HINTS.

Observation-Disclosures is of little use un-
til it is decomposed and plant food de-
veloped !; and as turning helps to hasten
this process, the labor is well spent.
What is hauled to the field should be
spread as rapidly as possible. The
more evenly applied, the better is its
effect If left in heaps, rain will dis
solve the soluble parts, and carry them
into the soil, making the place where
the pile stood too rich, and robbing the
rest Of the field, and a portion is worse
than waste.
PoULTRY.-Eggs and early chickens
may be had now, if the fowls are fed
with warm feed, and warm nesting
place is provided Boiled potatoes,
mixed with cracked wheat, given warm,
IS the best stimulating food. A warm
corner of the barn should be provided
for few brooding hens. There is per
haps no better food for laying hens in
Winter than parched corn or oats.

REPORT OF COMMITTEE
OF THE ENTERPRISE FARMERS CLUB
OF BALTIMORE COUNTY ON EXPENSE
AND FEASIBILITY OF ESTABLISHING
A BUTTER AND CHEESE FACTORY

Judging from the views expressed
by some farmers around here, it will be
about one hundred and fifty years before
our community is ready for one of these
factories. But it is always well to pre-
pare in time for new enterprise; it
may not be amiss to report our invcs-
tigation for the benefit of those who con-
template living that long.
The Old Dominion Cheese Factory
of Loudon Co., Va, the nearest one to
US, is capable of accommodating five
hundred cows, and cost about two thous-
and dollars Tie first year or two it
was fairly patronized, and the business
was quite encouraging to the proprie-
tors After that some farmers grew
tired of delivering milk so far, and start
ed butter factory on a small scale.
Patrons of the butter factory who
have tried both, pronounce buttermak-
ing most profitable. And at six cents a
pound, the price for manufacturing and
shipping, the maker would be well paid
If he got enough to do; but he complains
of great lack of Yankee enterprise
among his neighbors, who still prefer
the more laborious and less profitable
system of grain farming to the combining
drudgery, as they term it, Of dairying.
n A. Willard said while in this neigh
borhood, that a cooperative creamery
would be likely to meet the wants of
our people when they are prepared to
enter into it. He said it would require
capital of about $4,000 to make
complete accommodations for the milk
of four hundred cows, and that COM
petent man to start the business and in
struct some of our own people could be
had for $500 or 81 goo per annum.
In an establishment of this kind, the
cream is taken off and converted into
butter, while the skim milk is made into
cheese.
AS good butter always commands a
good price in Washington markets, and
as skim cheese is sold to a class of GUS
toners not over particular about the
popularity of the brand, Mr.. Willard
thought such factory would be most
likely to succeed here.
The feasibility of cooperative diaries
here is very doubtful at present In
New York and other States where they
have been successfully established, great
private enterprise in the way of dairving
was usually precursor to the factory
system. 1t is true a few scattered farm
ers hereabouts keep limited number
Of cows, and while most all declare
butter more profitable than grain or
hay, they still cling to the latter with
a tenacity that fear would be found
disastrous to factory
By the above report it will be seen
that the old fogy spirit is too strong for
the cheese factory and dairying in Mary
land. Perhaps the common schools
will bring the next generation up to it.

ty cows were poisoned to death by eat
ing broom-corn in Boscobel, Wisconsin.
1t was thought at first that the cows
had been purposely poisoned by the
owner of the broom-corn field, but on
the following day COW was purchased
by the authorities and turned into the
field. After eating five hills of corn
she dropped dead.

LOng.wOOl Sheep on a WORKOUT Farm.

Mr.. X. G. Hill, in an address deliver
ed before farmers meeting at Morris
vile, VT, upon Cotswold sheep and
their value, said
We should constantly study the de-
mands of the market. The scarcity of
heavy mutton makes it always in good
demand, and the demand is fast increas-
ing.
The one great trouble in stocking the
country with fine sheep, and supplying
the demand both for wool and mutton,
is the fear among many farmers of pay
ing too much for them, though it is
plain enough TO be seen they are great
Improvement over our common stock
Now let tie farmer commence with a
few of these sheep, and have his chill
drcn share in the care and profit of
them; they will soon feel an interest,
and no longer think farming unprotita-
BILE. There is no employment on the
farm so remunerative, and so attractive
for children, as the care of lambs. The
Importance of improving WORKOUT pas
ture is apparent to every farmer
There is no way that this can be done
so easily as in keeping sheep; it will
take but a few years to double its value
The Cotswolds are just the kind to
improve springy, swaIey pastures
They will thrive on rank, coarse feed,
bringing in the white clover, and dou-
bling its value in short time 1t is
generally admitted that sheep are the
best stock that can be kept for the pas
ture but knowing that it was gener-
ally considered that they were equal to
cows to keep up the moving, | deter
mined to satisfy myself which was best
feeding the hay on a small farm excIu-
sively to sheep This lot was in fair
condition, yielding about one ton per
acre. let the sheep have tie stable,
spread the manure on the grass, going
over one-half Of it each year The
grass continued to increase until it
yielded not less than three tons to the
acre. The manure from this yield gave
it heavy dressing. For year or two
the grass has not been as heavy; the
ground appears to be burnt with ma
nure. Last Spring | plowcd part of
it to resced, and sowed it with wheat.
1t grew very rank, but the weeds grew
ranker-such weeds as grow on very
rich ground This land has been dress
ed with clean manure from the stable
and the grass has been free from weeds
There had been no manure put on pre-
vious to blowing. That such weeds
should grow on sward we'll turned
shows the ground to be very rich.
The demand for good mutton is con-
stantly increasing, and we think the
mutton breeds will pay the best when
they are kept in small nocks, and given
that special attention required to pro-
ducc the best animals"
