Secure Good Seeds.

So far as possible farmers should save
their own seeds and not only avoid the
expense of buying, but secure seed OF
good quality and true to name. The
seed which ripens earliest thould be Sc
cured, and vegetables and flowers when
seeding should not be neglected and
allowed to be blown about upon the
ground and drenched and injured by
rains. Such plants should be staked
and carefully tied up. The earliest and
best developed cucumbers. squashes,
melons, ETC., should be selected for
their seeds, end these seeds are best
preserved by remaining in the old Gu
cumbers, ETC., through the winter and
kept in dry place secure from rats
and mice. The best place to preserve
turnip, cabbage, and in fact all seeds,
is in the mother shell. The farmer well
knows that his unshelled corn, peas,
beans, ETC., always come up best. Cut
the stalks when the seeds are sufficient
ly ripe and tie them in punches, then
put paper around the tops, secured by
string, to catch any seeds that may
fall out of the bolls or pods, and hang
them up in secure place until wanted
in the spring. There is no reason why,
under such circumstances, every per-
feet seed should not terminate, and the
germs will be healthy and strong. The
best and earliest ears of corn should be
selected for seed. and to insure this,
they should be selected while the corn
is still standing. Go through the field
and look out forthe long ears, well filed
out, and when the husks begin to whiten
gather them, pull back the husks and
braid them into traces which hang in a
dry place. BY carefully following out
this plan through series of years the
same variety of corn will ripen earlier,
an important advantage in localities
subject te early frosts. 1t requires time
and care to look out for these things,
but it is time we'll spent and labor that
pays.-Mdine Farmer.

Milking Machines.

In answer to an inquiry, the Ameri-
can CultiUdtor replies that many at
tempts have been made to construct
machines by which the milk could be
drawn from the cows bag with the same
facility and completeness as it could be
drawn by hand, but so far as our
knowledge and observation extend,
without any practical success. 1t is
supposed by many that the milk is re-
tanned in the cow bag through atmos-
pheric pressure alone; which, however,
is not true, since the COW is able to
control this flow to great extent. If
the cow dislikes the person employed
in milking, or his manner of drawing
the milk, she will not only refuse TO let
down the fluid but. by persisting in the
effort will soon dry up the supply. The
udder of the COW is composed not only
of bundle of milk veins but also of
nerves. The aperture in the teat of the
COW varies in size with each animal
MIXED. In the case of some cows
this aperture is large and the milk
can be drawn away very rap
idly, while in other cows the aper-
ture is small and any attempt to
draw the milk from this latter class of
cows as rapidly as from the former, will
be attended with much pain on the part
of the abused animal, and determine
ton on her part to hold back the milk.
This defect IN the size of the aperture
of the cows teat is one which no ma
chine can detect, but one which human
hand readily observes. Immediately
upon its discovery the humane mixer
relaxes his efforts in forcing away the
milk. 1t is the smallness of this aper-
ture which stamps the cow as a hard
mixer. The observant dairyman soon
learns that when he draws too hard the
milk passes back to the bag. In such
case his efforts must be SO relaxed
that the milk will come away easily
though slowly. Again, when there is
inflammation in the cows udder, the
careful mixer readily detects it, and
quickly sets about with measures to
reduce the Inflammation and relieve the
COW. By the use of no machine could
such difficulty be detected, and seri-
GUS consequences might be the result
of machine milking. A great many bags
would be permanently ruined and many
cows die of milk fever, which would be
saved to the owner where milking by
hand prevails. 1t is observed that men
have not become better artisans since
the introduction of machinery. Mana
gers and overseers may now under
stand better the nature of the article
manufactured, the raw material used
and the nature of the machine employed
than was the case formerly, but the
rank and file--the class of men who to-
day operate the machines, and who, be-
fore machines were invented, did the
work by hand-these men understood
the nature of the material upon which
they worked better in former times than
they do now. And so, in this
connection, he who has to milk q COW,
and do it we'll and properly, should
know at least the character and con-
struction of cows bag.

on his knees, and, before he could re-
cover himself, the locomotive had shot
out OF reach and the valves were
forced wide open. The station agent
at Cranston received dispatch that it

south OF the station to ditch it, but as
the steam escaped sufficiently fast to
allow him to do so he ran it on side

full OF steam he could not get into it,

THE DAIRY.

The observations of Dumas, Payen
and Boussingault, says the Cultivator,
have shown the fact that COW gives
healthy milk in exact proportion to the
surplus of food beyond what is neces-
sary for her own maintenance. If the
animal is kept on food barely sufficient
for proper nourishment, the milk pro-
duced must be at loss of. animal It's
sue, with general deterioration of the
milk and also of the cow.
Speaking of skim cheese, a current
story tells of buyer who was indig-
nantly repulsed upon insinuating that
certain cheeses examined were inno-
cent OF anything beyond the faintest
suspicion of cream Profiting by the
lesson, he adroitly avoided direct at
tack in his next movement on the fac
tories, and adopted clever ruse. Rush
ing in with face aglow and streaming
with perspiration, he asked for drink
of fresh buttermilk-and got it in all
the factories in which he successfully
concealed his mission as buyer. There
is no moral objection to skim cheese, if
sold as such, and not manipulated and
doctored to appear better than it is to
deceive dealers and perhaps ignorant
consumers, and swindle one or both.
All should frown upon the dishonest eff
fort to get something for nothing by
false pretenses and counterfeit of excel
lence and high quality. 7. Tribune.
ID. G. Roberts, one of the very sue
cessful dairymen of the country, says:
During the past twenty years have
made many experiments in feeding for
milk and butter, and had become con-
WINGED that the very best grain for but
ter is what is known in New England
as cob meal. which is corn and cobs
ground together. The next best food
for butter is clear corn meal But this
subject came up in one of our agricult-
ural meetings last winter, and several
dairymen advised to feed only one
fourth corn meal with linseed meal,
middlings and bran, to get best results
in butter yield. and as l was in good
shape for experimenting l went at it
again. These experiments commenced
December l, 1880, and continued up to
April l, 1881. After these long series
of experiments | am more than satisfied
that the dairy is machine to work raw
material into milk and butter; that all
COWS are not dairy COWS; and that some
COWS are good machines for that pur-
pose, being SO formed and constituted
that whatever goes in at the mouth will
give good results at the pail. But other
cows are not good machines for the
purpose. / have learned that with the
right kind of machine. if we want to
make milk, we must furnish a milk
making machine; that if we want to
make butter we must feed butter food;
that the corn fodder is good milk
food, but not butter food, and that
cottonseed meal makes white butter
and causes milk to churn when sent to
market. 1t is very risky food for
mich COWS; liable to cause heat, fever
in the bag and garget. Linseed meal
is a very wholesome food, but not a
tirst-class butter food, and Eastern
grown cob meal and Western corn meal
are the best of all grains for making
butter.-ErchGnge.
