Fife Wheat.

It is matter to be regretted that
many of our farmers are more or less
careless in the selection of their seed
wheat. Many of them get seed known
to them to be a general mixture, yet
they claim there is no distinction
made in the market for their clear fife
wheat, and consequently there is no
use in wasting any time in keeping
their wheat pure. This is a mistake.
The farmers of the Northern Pacific
are building up the reputation of our
wheat, and thus far it is very favora-
BILE, but we should aim to make it
more so. Demand creates markets
and regulates prices. A constant de-
mand for Northern Pacific wheat for
milling purposes throughout the US
would create market for our wheat
decidedly favorable to farmers. It is
a universally conceded fact that the
scotch fife is the most valuable of all
wheat for milling purposes. Other
varieties are occasionally introduced
and live short but often popular life,
but the old reliable "Fife" remains
the only safe standby. The time is
coming when it will be to the interest
of every farmer to raise the pure fife,
and wise is he who, having children
or other hands at his disposal, will set
them ut work pulling out the sheaves
of pure scotch fife, until he has secured
several bushels OF the seed pa1re. This
he can, with ordinary care, increase
largely the next year so that in time
he will have the basis of a good for
tune.

Agricultural.
On the Train.

June lst, 1880.
We are moving rapidly southwark
through Jefferson county, Wisconsin.
In some-yes in many respects is the
contrast very great between this and
our Wadena county 1 left yesterday
in it's agricultural aspects.
This is the principal dairy county
of Wisconsin. Of cheese alone it pro-
duced over 5000, 900 pounds last year.
Here we see diversified farming. In
the fields of some We see wheat, oats,
corn, rye, barley, potatoes, clover,
timothy, hops, pastural lands with
herds of milch COWS, colts, calves and
flocks of sheep. Here the farmer has
something to sell at all seasons Of the
gear. Here we see every evidence Of
prosperity and success in the neat
farm houses, barns and fences.
There is nothing like success, and
nothing is more certain to win success
with the farmer than established and
continual practice of diversified farm
ing. Through this region at many of
the railroad stations, we see fat cat.
tie and sheep in the stock yards, ready
for shipment to Milwaukee or Chica-
go. Butchers along the line of the
Northern Pacific are complaining that
they cannot procure fat stock for their
local trade at any price. Suppose our
farmers had few head to sell this
spring; how convenient it would have
been to raise the means to pay taxes
and grocery bills until the wheat har-
vest.
Crops are no more advanced here
than in Wadena county. Fields of
potaties are few and far between that
are forward enough to see the tops
peeping up through the ground. The
impression generally prevails, outside
of Minnesota, that we cannot raise
corn on the Northern Pacific, but it is
a fact that have not yet seen field
of corn, either great or small, as
large as saw two miles from Wade
ma, over week ago. RURAL, JE.

The Cow with Her First Calf

It is often the case when heifer
has her first calf. says the indiana
Farmer, that the farmer thinks she
will not give more milk than will
keep her calf in good condition, and
lets them yum together to teach her
the mystery OF being milked when she
has her next calf. In this decision
there are two mistakes that go far to
spoil the COW for future usefulness.
Cows are largely the creatures Of
habit, and with their first calf every
thing is new and strange to them, and
they readily submit to be MIXED and
think it is all right; but suffer them
to run with the calf the first season
and Il vicious habit is established
that they will hardly forget in a life
time. If they ever submit to being
milked quietly, it is evidently under
protest. But there is a greater objec-
ten than this: the calf running with
the cow draws the milk for All hour
or two, SO that the milk vessels are
not at any time tlistended with milk,
though the quantity secretcd in a Civ
en- time may be large But this is
the natural time to diStend the milk
duets and expand the udder To a good
capacity for holding milk. When.
with her next <calf, yoes reqnire the
milk to be retained twelve hours. the
uddex becomes hard and painful. and
the milk leaks from the teats. or, more
likely, nature accommodates the guam
tity of milk seereted to the capacity
to retain it. and the COW becomes per-
manently Il small milker. Much Of
the future character of Il COW, there
fore, depends OH her treatment with
her first e;s,f>

Milk Fever in a. Cow.

Milk fever is caused by the irregu-
lar excitement of the circulation con-
seqnent upon the changed conditio n
Of the animal. If the trouble can be
noticed at the outset, bleeding from
the jugular vein is the most effective
remedy; but after the disease is con.
firmed this is dangerous; the remedy
is then to give in active purgative, Q6
ounces Of epson salts, with one ounce
of salte peter daily until the fever
'abates. Then cooling food, as bran
mashes OF chopped roots, should be
given, but no grain food for some
time. If the animal is very weak
and torpid, give one-half dram of nox
vonica and one-half ounce of carho-
nate of amonia; rub the limbs briskly
with rough woolen cloth, and bath
them with hot water.

pounded until perfectly smooth; now
take some sifted flour, a dessert spoon
full, a bit of butter as big as an egg,
and a very little pulverized sugar:
mix we'll, then put on the fire until it
melts, stirring all the time; add this to
the pounded asparagus and the rest of
the water; when it has boiled a few
minutes, mix the yolk of one egg with
a tumblerful of cream, and add this;
if properly made, it wants no
straining; use salt and pepper to taste,
and a very little nutmeg; one stalk
of asparagus may be left, which may
be cut in thin slices, and added last.

If you desire to get large yield of
rich milk, give your cows daily waite +

EDITORS FARMER:- R:-Gentlemen:-
have received your paper for some
time, and like it very much. I think
it quite a farmers medium, with good
and fresh news and plenty of it. Your
issue of June 3rd think you sent me
two copies, one to Fergus Falls and
the other to Western. One copy is
enough and that you can send to Fer
gus Falls. We have had 4 very wet
season 50 far but just what we need
for wheat; it never looked better. l
anticipate the largest wheat crop this
season that we have had for some
years. 1t is looking far in advance of
what it was last year at this time.

that more than one.half of Ill the peo-
pie, farmers or otherwise, who have

with the railroad company, have,
down in their hearts, cursed the extor-
tion and oppression they are obliged
to submit to, even if they say nothing
about it. The farming community
are considered the "mud sills," the
legitimate plunder of with few hon.
orable exceptions) local dealers and
jobbers in all newly settled countries.

the grindstone, against the many un-

ant. It can only end in two ways,
justice or confiscation. This is a
country where majority will rule,

that day laws will change, judges will

Machinery VS.. Wheat.

EDITORS FARMER present sea-
son has been an exceptionally wet and
backward one, and at the present time
weeds and grain seem striving for
mastery. A few days ago 1 was look
ing at my wheat field and noting the
difference between early and late
plowing; the line of division is clear;
on one side the wheat looks thrifty
and weeds few, on the other, weeds
and wheat about half and half. It
will pay any farmer to go to the extra
expense necessary to do all his fall
plowing before September lst,-better
than to buy twice the amount in new
machinery, and then leave it out in
the sun and rain, dew or wind. A
good maxim for the farmers of Wade.
ma county, as well us other places, is
''Save when you can, spend when you
must.'' A reasonable amount Of good
machinery is necessary, but Judging
by the number of new machines and
new mortgages, there seems to be a
scrcw loose somewhere. The first and
best crops Of our land are being drained
from our country to pay for machinery
and agents profits. 1t is a matter of
statistical record, that exclusively
wheat sections are never wealthy com.
munities, and the reverse is true of
stock raising and dairying. Wadena
county can raise stock, at present, for
less money than eastern States. 1t is
true we have longer feeding months,
but hay can be put up for $3.50 per
ton, and butter Of good quality can
he made from the feed produced by
native grapes. Farmers who intend
4 perma.ent residence should think Il
little about the future before calculat-
ing to get rich on wheat alone.
