Gunpowder wothout Sulphur.

Observation-Disclosures, sulphur and

to do without any one of them. But
experiments were made a good many
years ago with sulphurless gunpowder,
and the result astonished the expert

which was then used to prove the
quality Of powder, gave as good results

When Cows May be Kept at a Profit.
Dr. L sturfevant In Springfield (Msss) Republican
In every herd Of cows there are ami.
mails which differ widely among them
selves in their adsPtability for profit.
Each animal has a different digestive
power, different tastes, different apti.
sudes, from every other animal. In one
animal increase Of food may result in
the laying on of flesh rather than an In.
crease Of quantity of milk yield-or
vice versa, one animal may keep ND a
uniform yield Of milk under consider.
able change Of food. The owner who
carefully studies the aptitude of each
COW in his herd will usually be able To
point out such cows as can be kent
prohtably on coarse folders and little
grain, and such other COWS as can more
probably be forced by high feeding
into large yield of milk. As there
exists this individual difference be-
tween cows In utilizing such food as
they obtain, it follows that as a herd
is usually constituted, some COWS are
kept at a profit, and certain other cows
at diminished profit, or perhaps at a
loss.
These two ideas, viz: the differences
that exist between individual animals
in economy of food and in production
and the changing relations between the
values OF feeding crops and the animal
products, should lead the farmer to
careful study and thought. - A
mich COW weighing one thousand
pounds is generally calculated to re-
quire for her support and profit three
per cent of her live weight daily in
food or thirty pounds Of hay as its
equivalent. As in this region the win
ter may be considered as of six months
duration, this means two and three.
quarters tons Of hay. In the six months
passuring it is difficult to assign q
representative value, but let us, keep
on the safe side, for the sake of even
figures, calculate the cost Of the yearly
keep of cow at three tons of hay.
Now, when hay is at a certain cost
that is, possesses a certain cash value
it is easy to figure out the quantity of
milk COW has to annually produce in
order, at a given price, to cover the
value Of the food, thus:
A cow must yield annually to equal
the value of three tons of hay con-
sumed:
Barbour County index. [volume] (Medicine Lodge, Kan.) 1880-current, 1882-02-16

According TO the most recent stats
tics available chose for 1871, the aver.
age value of hay in Massachusetts is
SIC ton. In suburban localities hay
is frequently sold at $50 a ton. In
New York state, the average price is
1919 per ton. The average price of
milk as deduced from the cheese fac
tory returns of New York state, is
about 2 cents a quart; as paid to the
farmer by the milk contractors of the
city supply about Boston, from 3 to 81
cents aquart.
We have thus presented to us the
question of relations. A cow which
consumes three tons of hay a year
must give, on the average, in New
York state, $29.37 worth of milk, or
1850 quarts, in order to cover the
value of her food. In suburban Mas.
sachusetts, with hay at $50, the same
cow must yield 1000 quarts at cents
in order to cover the value of her food.
Now, in New York state the average
yield per cow is calculated to not ex-
coed 1900 quarts, while the yield of
good herds is placed at 1900 quarts.
Another deduction, of value to the
suburban farmer especially, is that if
through the individual aptitude of the
cow the 1000 quarts required to pay
for the hay at $50 per ton can be OBJ
tanned through the use of coarser fod-
ders or changed feed equivalent to $40
a ton for hay, then the superior skill
of the chooser and feeder of the COW
is equivalent to 1000 quarts of extra
yield.
These figures are but rough illus
trations of certain conditions which
appertain to dairy husbandry, the
methods under which competition and
low prices of product are to be met,
and the value of intelligent calculation
to the farmer.
There are certain facts which in this
connection should be well apprehend-
ed: 1. That breed is superior to feed,
that is, that the animal the fodder is
fed out to is of more consequence, un-
der conditions Of good farming, than
the money value of the food. Feed
does not produce milk in the dry cow
high feeding can not force a scant
mixer by inheritance into a large milk.
er; the cow Of milking habit and strong
digestive power can utilize unstable
fodder cannot justify feeding such
material with the hope of profit. Hence;
2. Whether we shall feed highly, feed
food Of high or low value, feed fol-
maintainence or for milk. is a question
to be determined by the character OF
the animal and the relations Of values
8. The cow of profitable aptiudes is
the one to keep; the cow of improbable
aptitudes should be sold off at once
and every herd contains usually more
than one, and thus the herd shall be in
a condition for the owner to secure
profit by studying the value relations
between the unmarketable products OF
his farm, the various purchasable foods
and the salable products of his growth
