How to Become Good Dairyman.


There are COWS and fodder and feed
and churns between which the differ
ence is not apparent, but yet so wide
is the difference in the qualities of the
product 1t is all in the work, inchd.
ing, of course, in the work the selec-
ton and management of the materials
A COW is a COW, and in the hands of a
skillful feeder and dairyman one
good COW may be made to produce as
good butter as another good COW. One
has been imbued with the idea that
the Jersey cow is the paragon in but
ter making; that the Jersey flavor
and color alone puts on the gilt edge
This is untrue. The best of the Jef
sey COWS make remarkably fine butter,
but as good butter in every way has
been made by poor and despised
''mooley cow" of the most plebeisn
lineage and homeliness. The average
red Devon COW, common to the billy
pastures of New England, is able 10
produce as fine-havored and as high
colored butter as the average Jersey
There are exceptions in Jerseys, and
as a rule the Jersey dairies turn out
the best butter But the reason may
easily be, and possibly is, that only
the very best and most enterprisng
dairymen have Jersey cows, and the
man, and the woman, too, should have
the credit as much as the cows. So
we would not have the dairyman dies.
pair, and sit down at the foot of the
ladder because he cannot have a herd
of Jersey or Ayrshire or Guernsey
cows, but rather have him deceive
himself for awhile, and be sure that
young Brindleis Jersey COW Of high
degree, and old Patch is genuine
imported Ayrshire. Then, if he will
use his newly gifted COWS as he would
be apt to do had they cost him round
sum of $500 each, he will soon become
'gilt-edged" butter-maker.

Applying Manure on the surfa,.

No loss OF importance occurs by es
cape of gasses from manure lying on
the surface of meadows or plowa1
ground. The manure may be spread
on the land as soon as made, fresh
from the stable, without losing anv
sensible portion of ammonia bv
evaporation. Manure from the yard on
stable rarely contains such an amount
of volatile fertilizing matter as should
deter from spreading it broadcast on
the surface when most convenient
Unless manure is very rich, as from
granted animals, and is inan active
state of fermentation, hot and smok
ing, and eXhales a distinct smell OF
hartshorn, there can be no loss from
exposure, and in any case the loss
will be less by spreading it over thin
ly than by dropping it in small heaps.
because spreading means cooling and
less of fermentation. But manure
when properly handled, need not sui
fer any waste from evaporation. A
moderate and regulated heating Of
fresh manure results IN the formation
of humic acid, which secures the am
monia from loss by evaporation.
Surface manuring is especially effes.
tive on sandy soils, and a light dress
ing yearly is far more beneficial than
heavy coating once in three or -four
years. But the best results on sandy
soil is when they are dressed with a
compost of manure and clayey muck.
G. w. Hoffman stated at the
Elmira Club meeting las reported in
the Husbandman) that he plowed
several Glands" up and down a slope,
about two rods wide, manure being
spread on them after the lands were
completed. On one of them manure
was spread and plowed under, the
others being all surface-dressed and
the manure merely narrowed in
Every year since the grass crops on
the surface-dressed portions have been
better than on the other. The land
was strong clay. The result accords
with our own experience with top
dressing, but the best results have
always been obtained by merely
spreading the manure in autumn, or
if applied in the spring it has been
necessary to break 1t fine and mix
it through with the soil by narrowing

Editor Express -
I have been instructed by Mr.. jet
fries to withdraw his name as can
didate for Governor of Louisiana
My instructions were contained In a
letter written from Virginia more
than Two weeks ago. / have not act
ed on his request heretofore, because
1 hoped that time and a discussion
of the question with his friends
might cause him to modify bis
views. But as they remain unchsng
ed, l am compelled to accede to his
request.
He withdraws in the interest Of
harmony in his party because he
thinks that too many candidates will
cause too great division Of sentl
meut. 1t was with reluctance that
he consented to become a candidate
at the request of many friends from
various parts of tue State. Before
he allowed the use of his name, be
| Informed his friends that he would
be prepared to withdraw if it ever
ed TO him that the cause of har-
mony would be subserved by such a
step. lie thinks that time has come,
and believes his duty to his friends
requires that he should withdraw a,
this early stage of the canvass, in
order to leave them entirely unfet,
tered to act ia accordance with theil
opinions as TO what other candidate
will best promote the good of :he
party and the State. Mr.. Jedries
has always thought more of the gooo
of Louisiana than of his personal ell
ovation, and in retiring from the can
vass is only illustrating his fidelity
to this principle. 1t would be wei
for Louisiana if she possessed more
such prominent citizens.
