The Cow for Small Farms.

Do men who own small farms own
three or four COWS for the purpose of
raising calves for sale, or for the butter
the COWS produce? OF course the reply
is for butter Then the breed to be Sc
lected is that best adapted for butter.
Observation and experience both go to
prove that the Jersey, commonly called
Attorney, is, above all others, the but
ter COW. They are easily provided for,
very docile and beautiful, giving milk of
superior richness, from which is produced
finely-colored, solid butter, having an
equal texture and flavor. As evidence
of its solidity, the butter made in our
little dairy during the hottest weather
of the past summer, put in dry and not
cold cellar, without the use of ice, has
been in fine, hard rolls, and sold for 80
cents per pound, while the best ordinary
butter sold at from II to Is cents
Plenty of proof can be given of the
superiority of the jersey as a butter
producer; for the dairy, grades are but
little hyperion to thOroughbreds, and any
farmer can raise grades with q very lit
tie outlay in purchase of thoroughbr
bull-caif A four-year-old grade, one
half Jersey, owned by the writer, calved
April 4, 1876. A test made of her milk
the following May gave 10 pounds 10
ounces of butter from seven days milk,
besides furnishing milk ana cream for
our family of four persons. She was not
allowed to come in last spring, is due to
calve in December A test made of her
milk the first seven days OF April last,
just one year from the time she dropped
her calf, gave pounds l0A ounces of
butter from Z days milk. From her
milk one year, and the milk of three
year old thoroughbred for 81 months,
was made 532 pounds of butter, besides
furnishing milk and cream for our fam
lily. These cows had no pasture, were
fed on hay and ship stutls.

working thoroughly on, or near, the
surface. On our heavy, loamy soils deep
blowing turns to the surface the mineral
elements of the wheat plant, and if the
surface is thoroughly worked, the drag,
roller, and tramping of teams will com
pact the subsoil sufficiently
A year ago neighbor OF mine had a field
of five acres of wheat which yielded 39g
bushels per acre. The clover after harvest
seemed to be entirely smothered; but by
keeping out stock and giving the clover
a chance, he had this summer fully two
tons of good hay per acre. am satisfied
that very rarely, on good heavy wheat
soils, will the clover be killed out in the
summer so that it will not cover the
ground by fall, if cattle and sheep are
kept out. | know that the best seeding
of clover may be nearly ruined by too
close pasturing in the fall. Timothy is
less liable to injury and especially if
sown with wheat in the fall. 1t will
sometimes, however, get too large a
growth and injure the grain. The better
plan is to sow the wheat before the mid
die of September and SOW timothy seed
two or three weeks later. Two quarts of
grass seed, sown In the tall, Will give a
better stand than twice the quantity
sown in the spring. Glover seed must of
course be sown in March or April as,
when young, it is tender and easily win
ter killed | have never practiced SOW
ing timothy alone in the fall, but / have
seen many failures to get crop from
fields thus sown. The land would be no
better seeded and give no better crop the
second year than when seeded with wheat
or rye. Ny idea is that the grain helps
the young grass as mucn during our Sc
we're winters as it Injuries it between
spring time and harvest. The old-fash-
toned method of seeding with grain,
sowing timothy seed in the fall with
wheat, and clover in the spring, is
founded on pretty careful experience of
many farmers, and it is not worth while
to try to change it. There is generally
more reason for the oldfashioned prac-
tees of farmers than theorzing innova-
tors give them credit for.

Wheat and Clover.

VIM. j. Fowler, Of Rochester, form
erly one of the editors of the Rural Ne1c
Yorker, writes to that paper very intel
ligent description of his management in
raising wheat and seeding to clover.
His report is very suggestive:
As good wheat as | have seen this year
and that is as good as any we ever need
to see, has grown on barley stubble
Six acres, the harvesting of which / have
described to Rural readers, were so
grown. The field was in corn on clover
sod III 1875, six-rowed barley with phos-
phate last year, and sown with Clawson
wheat on the 18th of last September.
About two hundred pounds of phosphate,
with Slight admixture Of salt, were
drilled with the seed. 1t was the last
piece | sowed, and the land was SO dry
1 that i had half mind not to SOW it..
/ The drought just after harvest last year
made very hard blowing, and when the
ground was turned up there were 50
many clods mixed with the stubble that
/ it had a forbidding aspect. The drag
/ and the roller did much to smooth the
/ surface, and heavy rain, the first of
/ September, put it in excellent condition,
( starting the barley though net all of 1t
( in time for it to be turned under by the
/ cultivator. About two-thirds of the
/ field was covered 10y manure in the
spring of 1873, and it was all thoroughly
underdrained. On the summer fallows,
clover plowed under in June, thought
/ the land was rich enough without much
phosphate, so applied only one hun
dred pounds per acre. Timely rains
came after sowing, and, for aught could
/ see, the wheat af er barley looked as
well as any during fall, winter and
spring until harvest. 1t is not quite SO
thick on the ground rs the fallow, but
+ the heads are longer and better filled.
Farmers are learning that they can
grow wheat after spring grain at much
F less expense per bushel than by giving
+ two years use of the land for it. The
only trouble in seeding after stubble, is
that the time is very short to get the
seed in good condition Wheat needs a
moist seed-bed not deeper than two OF
+ three inches, and to that depth, as rich
and mellow as possible. Now we never
pillow less than five or six inches deep,
and this pulverizes the soil more deeply
than is beneficial. We find in practice
/ that it is better to pillow seven to nine
inches deep, putting the stubble below
! the reach of the cultiyator. and then

Value of Poultry Manure.

From actual experiment we found
that Groupings from four Brahmas, for
one night, weighed in one case exactly
one pound; and in another more than
three quarters, an average of nearly four
ounces to each bird. BY drying, this
was reduced to not quite i ounces
Other breeds make less; but allowing |
ounce per bird daily, of dried manure,
fifty fowls will produce in their roosting
houses alone, about-10 cwt. per annum
of the best manure in the world. Hence,
fifty good fowls will make more than
enough manure for an acre Of land,
cwt. being the usual quantity applied
per acre, and poultry manure being even
richer than guano in ammonia and fer
tilizing salts The other stock will give
an actual return in this way, and these
figures demand careful attention from
the large farmer. The manure, before
using, should be mixed with twice its
quantity of earth, and then allowed to
stand in heap covered with few inch
es of earth, till decomposed throughout,
when it makes the very best manure that
can be had.-Americdn Poultry Journal.

FARM AND HOME.
Curing Fodder Corn.

Corn that is cultivated exclusively for
fodder should be cut just as the blossoms
begin to fall and before the kernels are
formed on the ear if the full nutritious
value of the stalks is to be retained.
Every farmer knows the difference of
value between oat-hay, which is cut
while in blossom, and oat-straw from
which the ripened grain has been thrash
ed. The few meager nubbins which
form on the stalks are no compensation
for the loss of feeding value which the
stalks undergo by the conversion of their
best part into woody fiber After the
fodder-corn is cut, if the weather is fine,
it may be suffered to lie and wilt before
binding up. Then bind into small
bundles and set up into small stacks.
When these have become thoroughly
cured they may be hauled in and set up
near where they are to be fed out.

a Sunken Sepulchre.

United States District Attorney
George u. Duskin, of the Southern Dis
triet of Alabama, is in Washington for
the purpose of attempting to prevent
further destruction of the monitor Te-
cumseh, sunk in Mobile harbor in 1864,
when Farragut captured the forts. 1t Is
understood that wrecking company
purchased the monitor some months ago
from Secretary Richardson, and, not
withstanding the fact that 200 men are
entombed therein, We're preparing TO
blow her up for the purpose of secur-
ing the old iron belonging to the vessel.
The facts in this case are that Attorney
Duskin, after the sale of the Tecumseh,
filed bill in the Circuit Court of the
United States to prevent the Bell-Boat
Wrecking Company from blowing up
the sunken vessel, and the court decided
in favor of the bill filed. 1t is under
stood that the company have appealed
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, and the District Attorney will
endeavor to defeat their further action
in the case.

A COunubiaI Scene.

FROM the Springfield AdYerllser.
The most interesting and amusing ex-
hibition of the season took place at the
Greene County National Bank on Tues
day of this week. The pair were newly
married, and were up from Arkansas on
their wedding trip. They sauntered
into the National, and, seeing but one
chair, the lady took that, and her lord
occupied her lap. This caused the mod
est bank officials to blush, and an addi-
tional chair was offered, which the hap
ry couple refused. By way of change
the lord occupied the chair and the lady
his lap. He then produced a black bot
tie and proposed her health; but she re-
fused to drink. He took long, strong
pull, and, looking around and seeing a
hundred gazing eyes and everybody
laughing, remarked that it was darned
strange a fellow couldn't hug his wife
without attracting the attention of the
whole town" And with an air of SUI
preme contempt he strobe off with his
lady, much tothe disgust of the patrons
of the show.
