Management Of Young Heifers.

"W. j. F." a correspondent of the
country Gentleman, makes the follow
ing very correct statements IN reference
to the milking and management of
young cows: GA young heifer with
her first calf should be MIXED as long
as possible, for it will be difficult to
make her give milk later at any SUISSE
quent calving. To secure longer flow
of milk she may go farrow the follow
ing year, and meanwhile be fed bran
and roots rather than meal, so as to
discourage secretion of fat. If heifers
calve at two years old, as they should.
the year after should be devoted largely
to increasing the size of the animal. 1t
is important while this is being done
that the growth of the milk glands
should also be encouraged. In this way
the COW will be as large as needful, and
also be developed to her best capacity.
| am strongly inclined to think that the
fall is the best time for young heifer
to have her first calf This, of course,
is only where warm basement stables
are provided, with plenty of rich, sue
culent food the first winter. The first
flow of milk may not be quite as large
as it would be if she calved in spring;
but coming to grass feed after being
MIXED all winter, continued large
ness will be insured until midsummer.
Then. with little extra feed in August
and later, she may be easily kept in
milk until cold weather comes or a full
year after calving. If young heifer
calves in the spring this is much more
difficult. There is ALWAYS a GOOD de.
mand for new mich COWS in the fall,
and those which the farmer wishes to
sell should be timed so as to calve then.
The succulent food which cows get in
summer is better for both COW and calf
than the dry hay, straw and grain
which are their usual winter rations.

Curing Sardines.

Another interesting product of
France, not of its soil. but of its waters,
is the sardine, which is borne to every
cline, and considered delicacy by all
nations. 1t is said to belong to the her
ring family, but never attains to large
size. The uniformity of their size as
seenin the boxes, which are just adapted
to packing them, as they are found to
correspond in length. These little fin
ny creatures are caught in nets, and,
after being well washed, the heads are
cut off and the fish are sprinkled lightly
with fine salt. After lying for few
hours they are placed on grids in rows
almost perpendicular. The frames are
then placed in pans containing boiling
olive oil. This oil is changed as often
as it becomes too black and dirty for
continuing the cooking process. AS
soon as the fish arc considered suffi-
GENTLY cooked they are withdrawn from
the pans of oil and the grids placed on
tables covered with zinc, the surface of
the tables inclining towards groove in
the center. The oil is thus carried to
q vessel prepared tie receive it. Around
these tables stand women whose bust
ness it is to pack the fish closely and
uniformly in boxes. The boxes being
full, the fish are covered with fresh oil,
and the lids of the boxes are then SOL
dered down. Thus Theoretically sealed,
they are placed in wire basket
and immersed in boiling water. The
smaller boxes are thus boiled for about
an hour and the larger ones somewhat
longer, in proportion to the size of the
box. The fish are then ready for the
market, and being packed in cases, are
sent to the ends of the earth.

The Petroleum Industry.

The production of crude petroleum
in the Pennsylvania oil fields has been
a very progressive business from
very insignificant beginning. In 1859.
when Colonel Drake sank the first oil
well and obtained few barrels of oil
per day, he probably had no idea, says
StoaoelFS Petroleum Reporter, of the
growth and magnitude of the business
as it is to be seen to-day-with it's $4,000
producing wells; with its daily produc-
ton of 10000 barrels of crude oil; with
its 500 iron tanks with storage capacity
for 100000 barrels; with 8,O0O,O 900
barrels OF stock in the tanks; with its
refining capacity of 10000 barrels
per day; with its 5000 miles of pipe
lines for carrying the product to the
iron tanks and refineries; with its 5000
tank cars with capacity TO transport
100000 barrels of oil; with its 1000
miles of iron tubing and casing used in
and around the wells; with its $4,000
engines and 10000 boilers used at the
wells; with its 200 miles of rope cable,
and its 500 tons of iron and steel used
in drilling the wells; with its export
trade with all the countries of the
world of 10000 barrels per day, and it's
home consumption of 10000 barrels
per day.
The outlook for better prices for the
future are somewhat encouraging, as
the great prolific Northern oil field ap-
parently has its limits well defined,
and its producing area circumscribed.
The haste now manifested in drilling
the best territory is so apparent that
we may look for speedy exhaustion
of the field.
In Pennsylvania the number of pro-
ducing wells at the close of October
was II $3.50, and the oil production for
the same month was 1,863,378 barrels
of Al gallons each.
