THE DAIRY.

TIE butter trade in Europe is as
much exercised over the oleomargarine
question as our own. Large quantities
are sold in all large cities there.
PASTURES that have been fed few
seasons viii generally produce more
milk, or make more fat, than those
which have been newly seeded down.
For the six months ending Dec. l,
1880, the exports of cheese reached
105, 454,522 pounds; BUTTER 22.664, 344
pounds; oleomargarine, 6,760, ,219 lbs.
Nearly two-thirds Of this latter COM
pound has been shipped to Rotterdam.
WATER made slightly salt, and to
which bran III the proportion of one
quart to every gallon has been added,
is said to increase the yield of milk
by twenty-five per cent. if it is given to
COWS as their ordinary drink. After a
short time the COWS viii refuse pure
water, unless they are very thirsty.
SORE TEATs IN Cows.-Take full
pail of cold water and wash and rub the
sores well. Use the whole pailful Of
water before milking, which cools the
teats or reduces the lever, and the COW
will stand perfectly still After milk
ing, use half as much more cold water,
cleansing the bag and teats well, and in
few days the sores will be healed.
This is not all the good you will receive.
You will have clean milk and that is
the way to have clean butter. -BatEOnGt

PROBABLY few articles sold from the
farm take off so little of the life of the
soil as butter. This is mainly oil Gear
bon, one of the abundant and cheap
substances in nature, constituting one
twenty-five -hundredth part of the at
mosphere and the great bulk of all vege-
tation. The impression is quite general
that the milk which yields the most
cream is the richest, and if oil is the
test of richness this is true; but good
milk, that which will bring up healthy,
well-developed children, must contain
something besides cream.
The visible supply of cheese in the
United States is less now than it was a
year ago, and while it is true that the
export trade is very light, it is also true
that there is not enough to supply that
trade, even at present shipments, until
hay cheese comes into market The
year, now so near its close, has been
one of great prosperity for the dairy
men and manufacturers, and with no
unforeseen events, the season of 1881
will open under highly favorable cir
eumstances, yet we do not wish to lead
any one into the belief that excessively
high prices will be obtained.-Elgln

The Moons BaleRul Influence.

Professor Legatc, of this city," says
the Virginia City (Nev) Enterprise,
" has been experimenting for some time
for the purpose of ascertIining what
effect the moon has upon fish, and the
result of his Investigations goes to sub
stantiate what old fishermen have al
ways said, namely, that it spoils them.
The rays of light, or something carried
in the rays, cause the fish to decay very
rapidly. Even catfish, all alive and
kicking, when exposed were in bad
state in afew hours. Professor Legate
is firm believer in the influence of the
moon on man and on all things mum
dane. The atmosphere being attracted
bv the moon the same as the waters of
the ocean only to much greater ex-
tent, he is of the opinion that effects are
produced by the aerial tide which are
generally attributed to other causes. A
gentleman in this city, hearing of the
fish experiments, says that some years
ago, while on the west coast of Africa
he one night slept on the deck of YES
sci under the rays of a full moon and
the result was that he was totally blind
for three days. The bad effect Of the
rays of the moon appears to have been
known, or at least suspected, ages ago.
In the Bible, in Psalms, we read: "The
sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the
moon by night, T"

Means Of Corn Improvement.


The increased yield in the crop by
virtue of an Improvement in the variety
of the corn is not the only good result
of careful selection of seed. There is
another, and possiblya greater, benefit
that is not so universally understood. 1t
is the improvement in the stand of early
growing corn that is secured. The fail
ure of seed to. germinate after it has
been planted, is exceedingly annoying
to the farmer, and is attended with
much loss of time and labor. Every
farmer understands the Importance of
early planting in the spring. An excess
of moisture and lack Of heat, however,
are often serious drawback to early
planting. The germ is liable to perish
and the grain to decay. Corn grown
upon good rich soil in which is found
every nutrient constituent thatis craved
and which has had good tillage and
full measure of time for growth, pos
sesses very vigorous vitality and will
live through adverse circumstances
which would be fatal to corn grown
upon impoverished soil and with poor
tillage. All seedsmen understand the
of this principle, and give
to it great attention. The farmer there
fore should select his seed from the

Care of Winter Fodder.

A good deal is now being said through
the agricultural press about ''silos" and
the preservation of winter fodder in a
green state. But while this new matter
IS agitated, there are doubtless some
who fail to take proper care Of their
eorn-fodder when preserved in a dry
state. Cornstalks make excellent feed
when preserved in a fresh and bright
condition; but when allowed to become
Weather-beaten and black they are very
inferior. No thrifty farmer cares to
have his hay spoiled by exposure; and
any person who properly appreciates
the value of cornstalks will see that they
are well harvested and stored. vg
Some of the causes which tend to rem
der corn fodder less valuable than it
might be otherwise are the neglect to
cut the corn when green enough, the
injury sustained by leaving it exposed
to the weather, and from feeding it in a
long or uncut state. The advantages of
cutting corn sufficiently early need only
be seen to be appreciated. When cut
sufficiently green, and stored as soon as
possible, the leaves remain almost in
tact, and of a bright, inviting color.
They are then readily eaten, and rel
ished by stock. But when the stalks are
allowed to remain until dry before cut
ting, the leaves become detached and
discolored with the weather, and they
are not relished nearly as well. The
value of stalks kept under shelter will
readily be seen after trial.
The use of a fodder-cutter in prepar-
ing stalks for feed, especially when they
are long and coarse, is great advan-
tage and source of economy, and also
adds greatly to the ease of handling the
manure. Stalk-cutters are now made in
many styles, and are well suited to the
purpose, cutting fast and evenly.
The practice Of husking corn while it
is standing in the field, and allowing the
stalks to remain until late before cutting,
is one always to be deprecated when
good fodder is wanted.
When the fneness of the fodder is an
important consideration in raising a
crop of corn, it is doubtless great ad.
vantage to plant a variety which pro-
duces small stalks. In that case, when
a small-stalked variety can be found
that will give satisfactory results in the
Weld of grain, we should say it was
worthy of trial. But of course where
the grain is the main object in view, It
matters but little about the stalks.
Large stalks are decided disadvantage
in feeding, being hard to cut, and the
large, heavy butts, often One-and-a-
quarter inches in diameter on rice
lands, are of but little use as food.
The eminent DR.. Nichols, of New
England, once said that one bushel of
New England corn on the ear, ground,
is equivalent in nutritiVe value to one
bushel of shelled Western corn, ground.
This would seem to be an argument in
favor of the production of the New
England corn, if it would in all cases
yield as well as the coarse-growing vari
eties. But the fact that nearly or quite
all the large corn-producing sections
grow the latter varieties would seem to
prove that they are, on the whole, the
most desirable and proftable.-Cor. ET
