Advantage of Graded Animals.

A mongrel sire of any kind of stock should
never be used. II farmer is unable to pur-
chase thoroughbred alone, he should get
others to unite with him and make Joint
purchase, dividing purchase price and cost of
keeping. When this is done, no neighbor-
hood need be without sire. The choice
should suit the wants of the community. If
cheese making is the leading dairy interest,
then n breed of cattle should be selected which
will give the largest yield of milk, and the Sc
lection should be governed by the circum-
stances of feed. In most dairy districts the
Ayrshires will be found best adapted to the
purpose, on account of their small size and
their ability to take care of themselves and TO
furnish the largest yield of milk on short feed.
Where pastures are luxuriant and feed abun-
dant, Holsteins give satisfaction. These are
the most valuable cheese producing cattle.
We know of crosses of Ayrshires upon ma
tives which have demonstrated their value
These grades all made superior COWS, one of
them SO wonderfully combining the flow and
quality of milk that she would make Is lbs
of butter week. Where COWS are kept for
butter a selection of either the Jersey or
Guernsey cross should be made. Seventy
years ago an Attorney bull produced heifer
calf, which was reared and all her female
progeny saved. At this day the descendants
are kept in the family of the owner of the
original heifer, and are still noted as extra
good COWS; and the marks of the Attorney
breed can be traced, as well as the superior
merits. Nearly half century has elapsed
since Henry W. Delarow imported from Eng
land two COWS and bull, Durham" cattle
The COWS were good mixers, and recently
saw two COWS descended from this importa-
ton which showed the old Durham type in
great perfection, although several generations
removed by crosses upon natives; and they
were remarkably good cows. Another farmer
began with half-bred Jersey COW, and, by
| saving and retaining all his heifers for Jersey
bulls, he has established herd of grade Jer-
seys which produce more butter than any 9TH
er dairy of like number, and twice as much
as he used to obtain when all of his stock
were natives. Other farmers in the nighbor-
hood followed his example, and have thereby
secured the same results. Grades are nearly,
if not quite, as valuable as pure-bred for dali
ry use. They possess the hardness and
strong constitutional qualities of the natives,
which keep them free from disease, and give
them the ability to eat and assimilate almost
everything and turn it to the best account
This is proven by the fact that, in experiments
in feeding to attain great weights, grade short
horns are usually selected. They combine
the frames of the pure-breds and the strong
stomachs of the natives.-F d. Curtis IN
Rural NeD- Yorker.

Keep only those COWS that yield butter of
good color, flavor and texture; there are
some cows from which no one can get good
butter. Feed only good, sweet food, the best
for butter being early-out timothy and clover
hay and corn meal, and give only pure water
Observe the most scrupulous cleanliness in
the stable and dairy. Keep the COWS in good
health and contented. Use a churn that
brings the butter in 80 minutes Keep the
temperature Of the milk and cream as near 60
degrees as possible, aud churn the cream when
only slightly sour. Work the buttermilk out
of the butter with a ladle and not with the
hands. II water is used, it should be pure
and cold. The butter should be gashed or
cut in working, not "plastered" or fiattened
out. One ounce Of pure dairy salt should be
used for each pound of butter at two work
ings, with an interval of - hours between the
workings (for immediate use many prefer less
salt). Pack at once in a sweet, clean oak fir
kin or pail, and cover with a layer of salt un-
til the next packing is laid down. When the
trkin is filled, it should be headed up air
tight and set away in cool, dry, sweet cellar.
The rest will be learned by experience. In

THE DAIRY


The heading of this article is not q recent
discovery; but il has occurred TO us, from an
examination of the herds Of some dairymen,
that they do not realize the fact that milk
must come from the food, as their COWS have
received but scant food to keep them in re-
spectacle condition without yielding milk.
They act, practically, as II the COW had power
10 produce milk Independently Of any food.
Her mechanism is intended for most liberal
production of milk but she must have the
raw material out of which TO manufacture il.
The generous COW, striving to do her duty,
will yield n small amount of milk ut the ex-
pense Of the flesh of her own body. Does
the daryman really deserve success who will
not feed his COWS literally, that are ever ready
to pay for all extra food every night? When
first turning to grass, the dairyman will find
II, perhaps, most convenient and most profit
able to make up short ration of grass with
4 lbs. of middlings and lbs. of linseed or
cotton-seed meal, or 6 lbs. of corn and oats
ground together. Either of these extra ra-
tons, fed on little hay or straw, in the bot
tom of the mRnger, so that a little coarse fod-
der will be eaten with it, will not only keep
the COW in good condition, but cause liberal
yield of good milk The few cents that this
will cost per day, till grass becomes abundant,
will be more than repaid in the extra yield of
milk and the COW will be stronger and more
prontaDle during the whole season.
Let the feeder consider the Office performed
by extra food-that is, food beyond what is
necessary to support the COW this all goes to
extra product, either Of milk or flesh II the
COW naturally runs to flesh more than milk,
then the extra product may be gain in weight;
in which case this extra food should be con-
tinued till the COW will suit the butcher, when
she should be sold, and her place supplied
by one given to the secretion of milk. The
dairyman is supposed TO keep his cows for
their yield Of milk, and when they do not
yield this proftably they should go to their
natural destination-the shambles.
We know many dairymen who give their
cows a small grain ration all the season, and,
keeping n strict account of the yield of milk,
find that they make money by this liberality.
One who feeds fifty cows told us lately that
he fed four pounds of middlings per day
through the season, finding he was fully paid
by the extra milk and the COW was in so
much better condition in the fall that it saved
him the whole cost of this extra food in win
tering. He has followed this system for ten
years. He called our attention to a neighbor
of his keeping about the same number of
cows, who followed what he called the eco
nomical plan-letting the cows pick for them
selves-both taking their milk to the same
factory. Good feeding produced $40 per
cow poor, SRA difference of GG per cent
in favor of liberality in feeding. This illus
tration can be found in almost every dairy
town. Let every dairyman ask himself to
which class he belongs. National Lice Stock

An error of the types in the communica-
ton from Westminster West in last weeks
PHGNIx makes Mr.. 60" say: Darwin un-
doubleday has reference to the honey bee .
when he meant to say that Darwin didn't
have reference to the honey bee, but to the
humble bee. This may seem to some friv-
olous matter for discussion, but if clover is
wholly dependent on bees for fertilization, as
stated by such distinguished authority, the
fact is not less important to the farmer than
interesting to the naturalist. But neither Mr.
&C." nor ourselves are quite ready to receive
such statements without further evidence.
The fertilization of clover, if possible with
out the aid of insects, might be shown by
growing it in flower pots or boxes in closed
room. 1t would be easy to try the expert
ment by growing it where it would be certain
that it was not fortified by pollen carried by
bees, should it be found to produce seed.

The honey bees, after coming from their
winter quarters in reduced numbers, have, so
far, had an unfavorable season for gathering
stores. They have done well only in a few To-
been small. But bee-keepers, in places
where there is much bass wood timber, may
expect good yield of honey for two weeks
to come. Eastwood usually blossoms fully
on alternate years, and this is the year for
full Towering. Bees never make honey fast
or than from the flowers os Eastwood when
everything is favorable.
