How TO MAKE Cows GIVE MILK.-A
writer la the iSOutheTR Farmer says that
his COW gives all the milk that is wanted
In q family of eight, and that from it, after
taking all that is required for other pur-
poses, go pounds of butter were made this
year. This is in part his treatment of the
COW: If you desire to get large yield Of
rich milk give your cows every day water
slightly warmed and slightly salted, in
which bran has been stirred at the rate OF
one quart to two gallons of water. You
will find, IL you have not tried this daily
practice, that your COW will give twenty
five per cent. more milk Immediately UNI
der tho effects of it, and she will become
so attached to the diet as to refuse TO drink
clear water unless very thirsty. But this
mess she will drink almost any time ana
ask for more. Tie amount of this drink
necessary is an ordinary water pail at L
time, morning, noon and night.
THINGS FARMER SHOULD NOT Do.-A
farmer should not break up more land
than he can cultivate thoroughly; hall
tilleL land is always growing poorer,
proving. A thrifty and prudent farmer
will not devote his sole attention to the
improvemeLt of certain fields on his farm,
because the land is "easy to work ut, "
and let other portions of his premises go
nncultivated, and grow nothing but
brush, bogs, briars and stones.
A farmer should never have more cattle,
horses or other animal stock than he can
keep in good order. An animal III good
order at the beginning of winter is al
ready half wintered. Nor should he let
his cattle endure the chilling storms of
winter in IN open yard or field, whilst u
few dollars expended i'll the way OF max
ing comfortable stables would amply
repay him in saving fodder, and afford
greater amount cf milk.
A farmer should never depend too much
on his neighbors for what he can by care
full management produce on his own land.
He should not make it a common practice
60 either buy or beg fruit while he can
plant trees and cultivate them on his own
xround-nor annoy his neighb0rs by bor-
rowing tools to work while he can make
or buy them. i'The borrower is servant
to the lender"
A farmer should never he so immersed
I'm political matters as to neglect doing his
various kinds of work in duo season, and
60 snug up matters and things for winter ;
