I" Book Farming"

To those who refuse to subscribe
to agricultural journals, or buy agri-
cultural books, on the ground that it
"does not pay" and that they do not
believe in "book-farming," we CON-
mend the following from the Ameri-
can Agricuturist /:
at does pay, always, to read
about what others do, and say, and
think, in the same line of work or
business. IL one does not find direct
information specially applicable to
his own work, yet the thoughts and
methods of others incite new
thoughts and plans in the readers
own mind that lead TO profitable re-
suits. The reading, thinking man,
makes his head help his hands.
Brains tell everywhere, and In moth
ing more than in farming, gardening,
and housekeeping. And the fewer
brains one has, or thinks he has, the
more anxious should he be to get all
the facts and suggestions he can
from other peoples thinking and ex-
rerience,"

From the American Agriealturist
A cow that il milked three times a
day will give more milk and yield more
cream than one that is MIXED at inter.
walls Of twelve hours. When the udder
Is filled q process OF absorption goes on
and part of the milk secre.ed is thus
lost. Ii will pay TO take the milk from
copious mixers at intervals OF eight
hours as nearly as possible. A COW that
is MIXED at five in the morning, one in
the afternoon, and nine at night, will
yield from ten 10 twenty per cent. more
milk and more cream than il milked
twice n day.

Pruning the Orchard.

There is no better time in the
whole year for pruning trees than
just now, and the suggestion in the
following paragraph is timely:
ain pruning trees, all stems half
an inch or more in diameter, should
be covered with some water proof
substance like grafting-wax or shell
lac, of the consistency of cream.
The bark and outer wood will thus
be preserved and the wound will in
q season or so be covered with new
bark. If this precaution be not
taken, the end of the branch will
decay from wind, rain, heat and
cold.v

What the Different Breeds are Good For.

DR.. Heatle, at the international Dairy Fair;
1t is a positively settled fact, that
each Of the thoroughbred breeds of
cows are better in tue lines of their
special fitness to yield large and val
liable products than common or much
mixed COWS can be for any purpose.
Therefore, in intelligent breeding, it
is always wise to breed for special
purpose. Thus, if we desire a large
quantity of milk for retail delivery,
we must improve our common COW
for that purpose by mingling with
the better blood for this object,
the Holstein or Dutch COW is the best.
So, also, If we desire butter, we
must 60 TO the Jersey for the best
blood to mix with our common breed
to secure this desirable product Of
the best quality.
To secure the greatest quantity
and quality of cheese, we must in
like manner go to the Ayrshire
blood to secure this object.
If We wish beautiful oxen for light
work, or small fine bones, the blood
of the Devons will oil these require
ments. But If we wish large steers
for mountains of beef of first class
quality, we must seek the blood of
the magnificent Short Horns, or that
Of the equally good Herefords.
This knowledge is most useful and
profitable TO the farmer, dairyman
and herdsmen. For each in his voca-
tion can so practice upon it as that
it shall yield to him the largest profit.

may be supposed from my descrip-

find, i'm point of fact, that 1t Is not
an easy matter to manage manure
in this way; and / fear not one far
mer In ten will succeed the first win
ter he undertakes it, unless he gives
it his personal attention. 1t is we'll
worth trying, however, because If
your heap shall freeze up, it will be
at any rate in no worse condition
than if managed in the ordinary
way; and if you do succeed, even'in
part, you will have manure in good
condition for immediate use in the

CONGRESS does care something for
the agricultural interests of the
country, after all. Just before adj
journing for the holidays both houses
passed resolutions, providing for the
appointment of q joint sub-commit-
tee of their respective committees of
agriculture to investigate the work
ings of the agricultural department
with view to the extension of its
benefits throughout the country.
We hazard no guess as to what this
investigation may develop, but shall

From the Rural New Yorker.
That iteration and reiteration have
much virtue in securing at length the
object sought, has been repeatedly
proven both before and since the date
of the parable of the unjust judge.
Hence we once more insist upon the
necessity of having in the State, and
in every State in which such institu-
tions have not already been estab-
lished, an Experiment Station, TO
which each farmer may send samples
Of fertilizers to be tested.

In the DEMOCRAT of November
6, 1879, we mentioned the premiums
offered by the Thurbers of New York,
for cheese and butter salted with the
"Higgin's Euraka Salt" and predict
cd that they would be called upon to
pay them all. This prophecy was
based upon our personal knowledge
Ct the good qualities of the Eureka
salt, and we are glad that the result
has fulfilled our prediction. The
sweepstake prizes in both butter and
cheese (for best made anywhere)
were awarded to lots salted with the
Higgins salt. Another bit of testi-
mony favorable to this salt is The re-
suit at the recent Massachusetts, But
ter Show, which, as shown in re-
Gently published letter of Professor
Alvord, is as follows: "All but tYo
of the twelve premium lots were
sailed with Higgins Eureka Salt !;
one pf the two with the American
Dairy Co.'s salt, and the other kind
of salt was not stated. This may be
variously explained, but the fact de-
serves notice.

TRUSTEES OF THE HERALD FUND.

New York, Feb. lS.--The Herald this
morning announces the names of persons
selected to distribute the Herald relief fund
as follows: Colonel King Hartman, member
of Parliament for Sligo Mr.. Shaw, member
of Parliament for Cork county, Pro-
lessor Baldwin, who is thoroughly
acquainted with the statistics and condition
of Ireland; Cardinal McCloskey, and Mr..
Parnell. Cardinal McCloskey at first de-
elined to accept the trust, but subse quently
reconsidered his action, and in letter said he
hoped the fund would be augmented
to a large sum by the subscriptions of the
people throughout the land, that il may
reach proportions commensurate with the
terrible need of the suffering people of
Ireland. Parnel also declined, but the
Herald hopes that the persuasive efforts of an
eminent party may induce him to reconsider
his descission. The Herald says in distribute
ing the fund the only question asked will be,
as this case Of real destitutioni if It is
there will be no inquiry whether the sufferers
are Catholic or Protestant; whether they
belong to the Home Rule party, or
any other party; whether they have paid
their rents, or refused to pay them whether
they are supporters or opponents of Parnell."
IfMr. Parnell declines to serve on the COM
mittee, the verdict of the American people
will be that his object is not to
secure relief for his starving
countrymen, but selfish agitation for his own
political and personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, and
that he is not only an obstrtructionist on his
own country, but an obstructionist to charity
here. If he deliberately puts himself in this
position, the people of America will think II
about time that he ended his farce.

The Iron Mountain & Southern.

We have the best authority for saying that
there is not word Of truth in the statement
of the Memphis papers that the Memphis &
Little Rock railroad and the st. L., l. M. n
S. railroad have been purchased by the Texas
81 Pacific combination. A consolidation o
these interests was attempted some time ago
the Iron Mountain proposing to buy the
Texas & Pacific, but the latter deemed it
better to make the bargain with the Dodge
Construction company, to extend its road to
FL Paso Meantime the Iron Mountain is
wide-awake, and is increasing its rolling
stock, its earnings and its connections. Its
contract for 5000 tons of steel rails made last
year. for delivery this year, is worth, at
present prices, about 1915, 900 advance. The
increase in its earnings SO far this year is in
advance of any other road whose earnings
are published, and this is sufficient to account
for the steady rise in its stock. Mr.. Allen,
the President, went to New York last night
on an important mission connected with the
growth of his road. More cars, locomotives
and branch roads are demanded.
