The experience of the past season has Civ
en- tho writer highly favorable opinion Of
fodder corn. number of cows kept for
milk have been steadily fed from July until
frost upon fodder corn, with the addition of
four quarts of meal daily. The ration has
been 90 lbs. in three meals of 80 lbs. each.
The first feed was given at o'clock in the
morning, cut up in a fodder cutter wetted
with water in which malt sprouts had been
stepped for u hours, 2 qts. for each COW, and
sprinkled with quarts of meal Of corn, oats,
and wheat-middhngs ground together; the
second at noon, given whole, and the third at
6 o'clock in the evening, cut as in the morn
ing, but without any malt-sprouts and with .
qts. of meal, mixed with it after wetting it
with water. Upon this feed the COWS have
kept up their usual flow of milk and in good
condition, and have done as well as when fed
upon green clover or grass. The corn was
sown with the Albany corn planter in drills 3
feet apart and inches apart in the drill. Five
feet of row produces 30 lbs. of fodder, or 9
lbs TO the square foot, or 43 tons to the acre,
the corn being about feet high and having
n good many half-grown ears here and there
One acre of such corn is thus able to support
40 COWS ~ days, or - COWS for 40 days but
this is only when fully grown, as it was when
these weights and measures were made. Half
of this estimate would be fair, considering
that the feeding of the fodder usually begins
when part of the field is only half grown. 1t
may be gathered from these facts that there
can be no more valuable fodder crop grown
for late summer and early fall feeding than
fodder corn. This experience is corroborated
by that of many other dairymen and farmers,
but it is worth noting that there is differ
ence in fodder corn which may well account
for the various opinions regarding it. There
is that which enun broadcast and bainu too
much shaded from light is without color or
subtance, and makes very poor feed and
that, on the other hand, which having been
grown in rows and exposed to the light is
more solid and the juices are more mature
and perfect. The latter kind is that which
satisfies those who use it, and the former is
that of which so many complaints have been
justly made, and which have given fodder
corn bad reputation with those farmers who
rather give heed to what they hear than try
experiments for themselves. American A0-

At this season, when farmers have their
hogs nearly fRttened for slaughter, q few
words in favor of bacon may not come amiss.
The laboring classes in England, Scotland
and France relish bacon more highly than any
other kind of food, and large quantities of it
are yearly imported into this country, yet it
does not often find a place upon the farmers
table. In England, Berkshire, Wiltshire,
Yorkshire and Hampshire counties are cele-
brnted for its manufacture. As a rule, sailed
meats are less digestible than fresh meats,
but bacon proves the exception, and its fat is
less likely to produce irritation of the stomach
than that of fat fresh pork, while it suffers
less waste in cooking Toasted bacon is a
rclishing addition to a slice of bread and
needs only to be tasted to find favor in the
sight of any man. The best way to prepare
it is to cut it into thin slices and put them in
to WIRE toaster and place it over very hot
Goals. Toast brown on each side as if it were
q slice of bread or it can be placed on large
toasting-fork with little tin plate placed un-
der it to catch the drippings and toast it
bright golden brown. Fried bacon is not
nearly as wholesome as when broiled or toast
ed. The process of converting pork into
bacon varies even in the different counties of
England, but the following is the plan usual
ly adopted When the pig has been slaugh-
tered singed, soraped aud cut open, and has
become well cooled, remove the head, tail,
fore and hind feet and then cut it straight
down the back and take off the shoulders and
ham. Rub the remainder thoroughly with
the best of fine salt, and leave it hanging for
one day where it will not freeze. Then, if it
is to be wet-salted, make pickle of four
pounds OF salt, two pounds of brown sugar.
two ounces of saltpetre and two ounces of
saleratus melted into five gallons of hot wa
ter. Boil tho mixture, skim well, and when
all the scum is removed set the brine away to
cool. Then turn it over the bacon. The
spare ribs can be cut away before the pig is
sailed for bacon. Let the meat remain in the
pickle not over four weeks then wipe off the
pickle and hang the sides in the smoke-house,
and smoke it by putting corn on the ear into
furnace or pan of burning Goals and letting
1t shoulder slowly. Dry sailed bacon is made
by rubbing mixture of four pounds of fine
salt, two pounds of sugar and two ounces of
powdered saltpetre into the meat daily, for
two or three weeks.

Farm and Household.


Dairymen who have not obtained, from the
introduction into their herd OF choice blood
ed cows, of different breeds 20 much advan-
tage in tho increased yield Of butter as they
had anticipated, may probably find in the ex-
perience Of a correspondent of the American
Cultvator the cause Of their disappointment.
lie says the milk of COWS Of different breeds
must be kept separate, TO secure tho best re-
suits. II would naturally be supposed, he
says, that II ten Shorthorns are giving yield
of sixty five pounds of butter a week, the adj
dition Of two Jerseys making twenty pounds
a week would raise the product TO eighty FIVE
pounds. But this, he finds, is not the case.
The mixture OF the milk invariably reduces
the yield. He gives the experience of sever
al dairymen in support of his statement
One, who added two high grade Jerseys 10
his herd, found that it made no perceptible
increase in the quantity of butter produced
yet, on keeping the Jersey milk separate, he
found that one COW made twelve pounds Of
butter, weekly, and the second but little less,
while the original herd, on careful test, yield
ed as before. Another, who had twelve COWS,
the majority of them Jerseys, obtained but
% pounub OF Dutter, from CREAM WHICH snoulu
have produced at least 20 pounds, but on
keeping the cream of his grade Jerseys and
Shorthorns separate, and with eight days
cream instead Of seven, as in the previous
experiment, he obtained S3tlbs. Still anoth-
err with herd about equally divided between
grade Jerseys and Shorthorns, could get but
about Ave pounds of butter per COW, weekly,
but on setting each cows milk and churning
the milk separately, he found that not one
yielded less than six pounds of butter, while
several gave upwards of nine pounds each.
This is one of those practical experiments
which should be carefully tested by the dali
rymnn. An increase in the yield of ones herd,
be it even as small as in the least above re-
ported, makes a marked difference in the an
nual profit while it is secured at the cost of
slight additional care and no extra expense of
feed

is cheap; fresh meat is better, but dearer.
I give two or three quarts Of thick, sour milk
every day with a handful or two OF wheat
bran stirred into IT, Besides this, l feed
some cabbage, or turnips, or potatoes every
day. At noon they have little corn, or oats,
or screenings, as the case may be, aud fresh
water again in clean vessels. At night be-
fore roosting time, they get as much whole
corn as they will eat and fresh water again.
/ make il n rule TO give as much as they will
eat hungry hen will not be n laying hen.
My hens never get too fat TO lay.
The greatest regularity should be observed
in feeding and caring for 1ocks. Have reg
ular time for all the different operations, and
the hens will become as methodical as their
keepers. Eggs should be gathered punctual-
ly twice day or oftener in very cold wealth
er. The morning feed should not be made
too wet and should not be given too hot. II
some of il freezes before it is eaten, break II
up with hammer and II will all be consum-
ed. In very cold weather it is advisable to
put a little cayenne pepper and sprinkle of
salt in their morning feed. Besides the above
enumerated articles the hens should have all
the scraps from the table they are very fond
of them, and will turn them to better account
than cats and dogs will.
Let us recapitulate. Give your hens a rea-
sonable share of your attentions furnish
suitable accommodations get and keep the
right breed; do not keep too many; fifty
hens and four cocks are as many as should
ever be kept together-half the number will
do better per capita save only pullets, the
earliest hatch for laying furnish as great
variety of diet as possible, and feed as much
as they will eat give green food and animal
food Of some sort in winter; keep the hens
quiet and comfortable; don't allow them to
be worried or frightened; water is as impor-
tant as food and should be bept clean and
fresh. These rules, intelligenty applied,
will secure an abundant, supply of eggs at all
times of the year. Fdncier's journal.

HEAD Work TELLs.-A successful farmer
has said that "a spur in the head is worth
two in the heels. Head work is what We want
on the farm" 1t is the brain power that
makes things move in this world, and keeps
them on the track Make and lay out the
plans for the year. Map out the fields so as
to know just where and when to put in the
work The great secret of luck on the farm
is to do things at the right time and in the
right way. A note book in the pocket is a
handy thing Jot down a new thought on
the spot. 1t pays. Strict farm accounts,
with each lot under its own head tells plain
and true story. 1t is easy to see from care
fully kept accounts what has paid the best,
and to take them for guide for the future.
The winter is the time to make the head help
the hands. Work well planned is half done.

DUST FOR LICE ON CATTLE.-A writer in
Farmers Advocate says; "Some ten or
twelve years ago an agricultural writer OBJ
served his bull to be free from lice, but not
80 the rest of his cattle and thinking over
the matter he came to the conclusion that the
habit of paving dirt over himself must have
the effect of keeping lice off the bull, and he
tried dry earth on the rest of the cattle with
the best effect. Ever since reading the above
have used nothing but dry earth, and have
frequently put it. on cattle having lice and
have found it perfectly efhcacious, both as a
preventive and as a cure If in winter find

then sprinkle 1t over the back from head TO
tail, and the earth, working in and through
the hair, soon destroys all lice. believe the
earth to be just as effcacious, less dangerous
and less expensive than tobacco or any of the
acids recommended.

Then and Now.
WHAT A WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS FARMER
SAYS.


1t is but short time, few years, since
our New England farms, in their state of
virgin richness, bore abundant crops and the
agriculture of the east was self-supporting.
We raised our own corn, wheat and beef.
From our own products were manufactured
our clothing in fact, every commodity for
our use was grown at home. II is within
the memory of some still living in this coun-
try when to buy wheat flour was thing UNI
known, except it may be few pounds of
Baltimore" flour for Thanksgiving Butter
and cheese were made in every farmers
household Horses, cattle and sheep we're
grown in abundance for home use and for
sale. Comfortable farm houses were found
on every hillside, and everything which ap-
pertained to farming was in prosperous con-
dition. To-day the soil is impoverished
robbed of its fertility Instead of fine crops
of clover and Kentucky blue grass, the NOW
ings and pastures arc covered with white
top" Flocks of sheep have disappeared
the large herds of neat stock, consisting Of
dairy cows, the one, two, three and four
years old steers and heifers, if not altogether
lost are three-fou less in number the
population lesseued from one-half to three
fourths, and now consisting of old people,
the younger either having gone west or to
the cities. Farm houses have disappeared.
Where once were prosperous neighborhoOds,
no dwellings are to be seen, but still that un-
mistakable evidence of dwelling, tho ruins
of a chimney and the old cellar. Highways
have been discontinued which could be meas
urcd in this county by mile after mile.
School districts have been given up and on
every side are to be seen evidences of declen-
ton. And what is true as regards the spolia-
ton of New England soil is true of the same
curse which is gradually working its way
towards the Pacific slope. The thoughtless
skiuning process will account for this exhaus-
ton of our soil. There farms have been sold
in driblets, and by the wagon load yes, even
by the ship load is this now going on, the ex-
ports for the year ending July l, 1879,
amounting to $500, 600, 600.

with his heel Poor things know what
sort of treatment they have had. If they are
timid, il makes them start or shy; il they
are high-mettled, it makes them vicious or
dangerous; their tempers are mostly made
when they are young. Bless you they are
like children, train 'em up in the way they
should go, as the good book says and when
they are old they will not depart from it
