lures, and no difference is discoverable
between the milk produced on the So
called grain farms and that produced on
farms devoted entirely to grass and per-
manent pasture; but the milk from high,
dry lands is superior to that from the low
lands.
Corn and oats, ground and mixed in
equal quantities, make the most valua-
bic meal and a greater quantity of such
meal is worth more than any other
though barley meal in pearling," and
meal from making split peas, and shorts
and shipstuffs are held as of great value
to help sustain the yield of milk during
the winter.
Brewers grain, though the cheapest of
any food, as sold in this market, is not
approved, and if fed at all must be in
small quantities, mixed with other food,
or the milk will be of inferior quality
and the directors of the association dis
courage this kind of food for the pro-
duction of the best milk.
All the members of the association are
said to use sowed corn to be fed when
the pastures are poor in the droughts Of
summer.
There are two members who cook the
winters food for their cows; one has 60
10 20 animal to feed, the other so. Cook
ing is not thought to be profitable when
less than 40 cows are to be fed.
Some members of the association feed
higher than others, and it if fully agreed
among them that high feeding and con-
sequent great yield of milk wears out
the COW and renders them no longer pro-
ftable after from four to six years use.
One owner of large herd long ago
adopted the plan of raising his own COWS,
and finds that when a heifer has her
first calf at about thirty months old, she
will last on an average about six years
He does not attempt to produce an extra
ordinary large average yield of milk, as
he has many young cows in milk.
1t is very difficult to purchase frst-rate
cows, and the greatest skill in breeding
from the best of stock on both sides, does
not always produce good mixers. The
larger the herd, the more difficult it be-
comes to have every cow of the best
quality, and | am of the opinion that
the man who produced an average of
1889 quarts from a herd of forty, per-
formed quite as difficult feat as did the
man who averaged 1856 from his herd of
ten. In each case the management was
most excellent, and few men have both
the skill and industry to successfully
compete with either The next best
yield from any herd fell below the high
est of these two, ,049 quarts, and below
the second 622 quarts.

Spreading Manure.

Whatever may be thought as TO the
proper time for hauling and spreading
manure, the fact will remain that farm
ers as a class will haul in the winter
season when there is comparatively little
to do. There is no doubt but that ma
nure if it could be hauled to the fields
and spread as fast as made, would, on
the whole, be preferable.
Many farmers who carefully save their
manure lose largely by the slip-shod
manner in which they allow the hands
to distribute it in the field. The bottom
of the wagon-bed, tor hauling, is com
posed of wide or narrow planks, as the
case may be. These are pulled away al
lowing the manure to fall, if fine enough
to the ground-one, two or three heaps
to the load of irregular shapes, and at
irregular intervals. The consequence is.
when the field is planted or sown, the
crop is as irregular as the piles, and thick
or thin on the ground, and in patches, as
the case may be. Whatever the size of
the heaps, they should be as compact as
possible, and close enough so that no bare
places will be left in the spreading.
One special objection to the plan of
leaving manure in heaps. is that when
laid on frozen ground, or when the soil
freezes under the manure, it will not
thaW out in time for early crops. There
will be frost under the heaps for long
time after all other land is settled and
fit for crops. On the whole, We would
advise the spreading of manure directly
from the wagon as hauled, if it be green
or strawy manure. When the manure
is in the shape of compost, or thoroughly
broken down or well rotted manure that
has been saved so that the most of its
soluble parts remain, it should only be
used as top dressing or to be plowed
lightly under. 1t is often announcement
to haul in the spring. In this case,
place 1t into compact, conical piles
close together and at equal distances
apart. Thus it will be found pretty
much intact i'll the spring. If this is
zone the piles should be pried over, if
the land is to be used early in the spring,
or the piles should be so broken up that
the air can have free access to the soil
underneath where the manure has laid
Thus the soil beneath will be thawed as
soon as the field is fit for blowing. Those
who have tried to pillow field where the
land remained frozen under the heaps of
manure will appreciate the force of the
suggestion we have give. Those who
have carefully saved and applied their
manure from year to year will know it

Charcoal and Lime for Fowls.

Permit us again to urge all breeders of
poultry who wish healthy fowls, to be
liberal in supplying their fowls with char,
coal. 1t is one of the best preventives OF
disease among fowls that can be named
Even if the fowls are not confined, but
especially so if they are, charcoal pound.
ed into bits or pieces about the size of a
grain of corn, or little finer, should be
put around in small piles where the
fowls can have easy access to it, and they
will soon make use Of il. The cost OF
charcoal is but a trihe and where the
distance from town or city is so great as
to prevent it from being readily obtained
therefrom, the ashes from wood stove
may be sieved out and the small bits of
charred wood or charcoal used in the
place of that made in the regular way.
Especially during the spring and early
summer months, is it advisable to use
charcoal freely. Lime, too, is valuable
in many ways. In the form of white
wash it begets cleanliness, freedom from
disease, and laying hens should have
lime where they can make Use of it, in
assisting in the production of eggs.-Pouf-

Pruning Eruit Trees.

Much butchery is committed by I'M
skillful persons, under the delusive idea
that they are judiciously pruning. A
young orchardist told us few years since
with evident dissatisfaction that in the
thorough pruning he gave his apple trees
the previous spring he had "cut of more
than he left on" Is it any wonder that
the orchard refused to bear any consid-
able quantity of fruit for several years?
\ skillful primer, by taking glance at
a young tree, can easily see what buds
should be removed and what should be
left, and can prune it with his thumb
nail SO that the tree will require little
more care for the season. Trees man.
aged this way will have few large limbs
requiring to be cut away. Sometimes a
limb is cut off leaving a stump two or
three inches long on the tree. Aside
from the unsightly appearance, such a
wound can never heal over If it is nee
essarry to remove a limb, it should be
sawn off as closely as possible to the stem
and then smoothly trimmed off with a
sharp knife or chisel.-Butalo CONNER

Paint for Farm Implements.

Here are some sensible and practical
hints from the veteran I. B. Miner, in
the Ruds NeC Yorker:
l suppose there are many farmers
who never used paint brush and | can
imagine how their old rusty wagons,
plows, etc, look, the woodwork badly
cracked, and going to ruin rapidly. 1t
is OF as much Importance to keep farm
implements well painted, as it is to paint
house; and every farmer should have
an "outtit' of painting materials on
hand, so as 70 be prepared to do any Job
IN that line that may be necessary. All
that is necessary is a two-gallon oil can,
a couple of brushes of different sizes.
and the necessary paint; but that can be
bought as wanted, yet it is better to buy
a 70 pound keg of white lead, and a can
of oil (half boiled and half raw as they
will keep long time. For plows, har-
rows, and the running-gear of wagons,
you need only red lead and oil; but for
other colors you will require the white
lead. If you want common black
paint, use lamp-black and oil; but for a
carriage body get black coach paint at
the wheelwrights also some varnish to
finish with. You would be surprised to
see the nice work that you or the "boys''
can do after a little practice; and when
you get in the way of doing your own
painting, your keg of lead won't remain
on your hands long. Why, there is
money in paint-actually bank bills,
and gold and silver dollars. For instance,
you buy new farm wagon, and keep ii
well painted, and under cover when not
in Use. Now, your ncighbor buys one at
the same time, and doesn't paint at all
for ten or fifteen years; and what is the
result? Worn out, decayed woodwork,
split and cracked, must be thrown aside,
as used up" while yours is as good al
most as when new. You have found a
hundred dollars in your paint; but
your neighbor, poor man! has got, per-
haps, to stint his family in the necessaries
of life to pay for new wagon"

Vienna Cor. New YORK Times.


The beautiful palace which our minis
ter occupies in the Dorotheer Case was
built by Prince Putzen, the prime min
lister of Maria Theresa, but has of late
years been adorned and occupied by the
Count and Countess Mako, to whose ex-
quislte taste he owes a home worthy of
his high culture and distinguished posi-
ton. The entrance, by a pretty stair
way, adorned with plaques of old porce-
lain framed in EBONY, is very effective !;
then through two ante-rooms, with paint
ings, curiously carved cabinets, etc, to
the study in which the visitors usually
find him. This is the most harmonious
room in color and arrangement and
adornment that one could imagine,
and seated at his desk, in the
midst of his sumptuous surround
ings, he is a man every American
must be proud of-at once a scholar
and gentleman, of fine presence, quiet,
dignitied manners, and hospitable in its
broadest sense, a fitting representative
of the great republic at the most aristo-
cratic court of Europe. This palace has
the advantage of being so arranged that
the occupant lives among its treasures.
Everything looks as if it was intended
to be used. There is no cold, silent,
lonely gallery of paintings where one in
voluntarily lowers his voice and steps
softly, but each room has its fine old
pictures. Its beautiful carved wood
ceilings, its walls tapestried with rich
brocade or embossed leather, quaint and
luxurious furniture, exquisite porce-
lains, vases beautiful beyond all words to
describe, curiously-wrought brasses and
bric-a-hrac of every description, and all
in perfect harmony. On "Thanksgiv-
ing" the effect was heightened by the
rooms being draped with American flags
and flowers and evergreens and innumer-
able candles, for gas is only in use on the
stairways of Niennese houses, as in most
Continental cities.

How a Bird was Identified,

Inc New York SdrdtOgldn of Friday
contains this pleasant little story: " a
lady visiting a Walnut street residence,
few days since, was attracted to a
beautiful canary bird by its close resem-
blance to one she had lost last spring.
She was informed that the songster had
come to them, they finding it one chilly
morning perched upon a window-sili.
The lady stated that the bird had been
taught to perform the pretty little feat,
when given its liberty in a room, of pick
ing up pin and sticking it in the car
pet. The cage door was opened, and as
the canary flew forth the lady threw a
pin out in the center of the floor. The
bird Immediately flew down to where it
lay. caught it in its bill, dextrouslv
stuck it in perpendicular position in
the carpet, after which it hoped off a
step or two and warbled forth some of
its sweetest notes, as if in exultation of
the feat it had accomplished. 1t was
her long lost songster."
