THE TEST THE NATIONAL WELFARE TuE INTLLLi
GENCE AND PROSPERITY oF THE rLEhER.
Centre Democrat. [volume] (Bellefonte, Pa.) 1848-1989, 1880-12-02

We devote a considerable portion
of our space in this department of
our paper this week to n detailed
account, copied from the american
Ddirymdn, of the seasons test--just
closed-of Mr.. Darling's wonderful
COW, Eurotas, now the greatest butter
producer in the world. 1t cannot
fail to be Of great interest to all who
either make or use butter. We par
ticularly call the attention of all who
own or feed cows to the statements
of what and how she was fed, and the
reasons given therefor.
Do not expect the cows, on frosted
grass, and exposed to the cold and
storms incident to the season, to give
profitable returns. Stable them at
night, and give them generous feed
of some sort in the morning before
turning them out. At our last
thrashing. we put away large bin
full of nice clean wheat chaf, and
now our cows get full feed of this
every morning, made into a "cut
mess with about four quarts OF
chop Our "chop' is made at
home, on one Of J. A. Field, Son x
Cos Big Giant mills, by grinding
together equal quantities of corn (cob
and alb and oats, and then mixing
with the meal thus made an equal
quantity, by measure, Of bran. Four
quarts of this, thoroughly wettcd and
mixed with as much clean wheat
chaf as n COW will eat clean, is not
very expensive, nor is it very "high
feeding" but it pays day by day in
the increased quantity and quality Of
milk and butter, and the improved
condition of the COW, stored away as
so much capital upon which she can
draw during the severity of the com
ing winter, is so much clean gain.

Drainage makes soil damper in dry
weather because it makes it soft and
more capable of retaining moisture.
1t warns the soil because it gets the
cold water out OF it in the spring, and
the warm rains soak down through it,
carrying the heat from the surface
downward. If the water was to lie
there and evsporate it would cool the
soil, because evaporation is a cooling
process.

Profits Of Undertaking.


Profits Of Undertaking.
We find in the Practicai Farmer a
portion of a paper upon the subject Of
Drainage, recently read by Mr.. j. NJ.
Harrison, from which we clip some
of the most pointed paragraphs
Drainage deepens the soil.
We can work drained lands sooner
after rains.
Drainage improves ne texture Of
the soil because it renders il mellow
and friable.
Drainage will prevent our best
grasses from running out. II will
prevent clover or wheat from freezing
out.
II requires all the lengths of sea
sons we can get To produce some of
our crops. We can always plow and
plant earlier in the spring on drained
land.
Drainage prevents the damage from
standing water, which kills out the
best grasses and brings in the worst,
and often browns out an entire crop
Of grain.
Spring water absorbs carbonic
acid, and carbon is the great element
in plant life. Hence, water oozing
out of the ground robs the plant Of
nearly all its food.
Manure applied to wet land is near
ly all lost by being carried off with
the surface water. On drained land
it filters into the soil and remains
there until used up as plant food.
4 corn crop is often lost by the
ground being to wet TO work it at the
proper time. Wheat crops have also
been lost by the ground benig so wet
in harvest that reaper could not be
used. After drainage there was no
trouble in this respect.
1t will prevent hilly land from
washing because the water will pass
off through the draias and the drop
pings of stock will remain and make
n good sod. 1t will prevent spouty
land from slipping because the sur
plus water is carried away and the
soil remains firm.
An inch Of soil on an acre weighs
hundred tons. An undrained field.
where roots can not 90 down more
than four inches, will have four hun
dred tons Of available soil. Drain it
three feet deep and you have three
thousand tons Of soil on an acre.
Think of the difference!
II the soil is full of water the
roots Of plants will all be found with
in few inches of the surface. But
if we drain, the action of the air and
frost will deepen the soil and the
roots of wheat and corn will pene-
trate to depth of five or six feet in
land drained to that depth.
John Johnson, Of Geneva, y. Y,
began draining with tile in 1885 and
ended in 1854. lie put over fifty
miles Of tile in about $40 acres of
land. lie says that it will pay to

Making Use of Natural Laws.

Instances OF more complex charac-
ter frequently occur where a knowledge
of natural laws or forces may be brought
into operation to assist in surrounding
difficulties. Thus, few years ago, an
iron bridge Of considerable length, the
weight being about 200 tons, was con-
structed in England and erected in a re-
mote part Of Germany. By some mis-
hap, the bridge, when finished, was
found to be some distance "out" to
one side, an error which the proprietors
insisted should be rectifed. TO take
down and re-erect the bridge would be
simply ruin to the contractor. But ne
cessity is the mother Of invention, and
SO it proved in this case. It was sum-
mer time, and the contractor proceeded
to find the amount Of expansion which
was caused by the heat of the sun over
the whole length of the bridge. He
next ascertained what contraction took
place in the night by cooling. Armed
with these data, he thought it might be
possible to bring the bridge oits proper
position in a few days. The bridge, Of
course, in its ordinary condition expand
ed from the center, pushing it's two ends
outward, or farther apart, and again
contracting toward the center. Taking
advantage of these conditions, one end
was made fast in the morning, and the
bridge was forced to expand from that
immovable point, instead of from the
middle, as formerly. When the iron
composing the bridge had expanded to
it's full extent in the direction intended,
that end was released, and the opposite
end made fast. The bridge then con-
tracted toward it's true position. Thus,
whatever was gained by the days ex-
pansien was secured by the subsequent
contraction when the metal cooled at
, night, and, the process being renewed
day by day, the work was successfully
ACCOMPLISHED
