Clabber Milk for Chicks.

A correspondent of the Poultry
Yard declares that with his exper-
fence of twenty years he must say
that there is no feed on earth that
is so good for young chickens, or
old fowls, as saRr milk, clab bered
milk, or cheese or cUrd made from
sour milk. Even old, sour butter
milk, for old fowls, is the best OF
food, but all of this must have
some meal and judgement added
to it. No gapes, no cholera among
chickens that are fed on sour milk
and kept free from lice. His feed
is fresh ground cornmeal, oatmeal
and shorts, wet Eith clabbered
milk, some cracked corn and whole
wheat, fed according to the age OF
chickens. Raising chickens is
something like making cheese.
There is o time and place for
every step from tbs agg to the full
grown chicken. Experience, with
the right kind Of perseverance, will
raise chickens and take good care
ofoid fowls. Sour milk, thickened
with shorts and meal, fed every
morning, and some kind OF whole
grain at night. is his best food for
eggs. 1t is our impression that
the Background cOrnmeal, the
oatmeal aud shorts, the cracked
corn and the whole wheat cGnsti,
tute a pretty good variety of food,
even with the sour milk left out,
and very small chicks we would so
leave i. For older fowls old milk
is tirst-ciass. Aey milk won't hurt
them, though.

THE WEEKLY BANNER.
Corn Experiment.

Much speculation has been in
dulged in regard to the relative
value of the corn on the butt, mid
die or top of the ears, for seed. A
farmer near Burlington, Iowa, OK
perimentcd with it last year, and
while we are aware that Il single
trial proves but little, it is good as
corroborative evidence, and us
such we give it rs it was reported
10 the Indiana Farmer. He says:
Il grew three rows of corn OF
l25 hills each the past summer, as
an experiment more to satisfy
myself than with the expectation
of raising a big crop. | am glad
that l tried the experiment, for
until did try it | always doubted
the big yield that could be grown
from the corn taken from the butt
ends and top ends of the ears OF
corn. The custom with the farm
erS has been to shell the butts and
tops and feed them, and use the
rest of the corn to plant. This
very corn that was rejected by the
farmers has proven to be not only
the most prolific but the earliest.
| selected a piece ofsecond bottom
land that had been well MANFRED
for two years, and selected 80 ears
of yellow Denton corn, and picked
the grains from the butt and tip of
the ears, and the same namber of
grains from the middle of the ear,
dropped and covered by hand, on
the sixth day of May. l planted
three feet ten inches apart; cultiva-
ted four times with the cultivator;
thinned out to four in hill. The
top grams came up one day sooner
than either of the others, and be-
gan to mature six days sooner than
either of the others. The corn
from the top ends was some the
largest and more even in size, but
no better in grain than the butt
corn, and did not yield quite as
much. Both the butt and top corn
was perfectly dry and solid by the
twentieth of October, while the
middle grain corn was soft and
sbriveled, and anything but good
corn, and fell short of the other
two paintings. The butt corn
weighed 312 pounds; the top corn
weighed 3OS pounds, and the mid
die corn weighed PA pounds.
Counting IS shocks to the acre,
ten hills square, the butt corn
would yield about 125 bushels to
the acre, the top corn would yield
100 bushels to the acre. You will
see, as well as | did, which would
be the profitable corn TO plant. 1
qope to hear from other farmers
who have tried this experiment"

Creaneries.

The money invested in cream
cries in the United States is over
two billion dollars. Fifteen mil
lion cows are required to supply
the demand for milk and its pro-
ducts. To feed these COWS Co.
100000 acres are in cultivation.
The d Try implements in use are
worth $500. 900, 900. Seven hun
dred thousand men are employed
in the business and 1000, 900
horses. The cows and horses
consume so, ooo,e 600 tons of hay,
5000 900 bushels Of corn meal
and as much oat meal, rs. 900, 900
bushel of oats, 100000 of bran
and 10000, 900 Of corn. 1t costs
100000 ,oco 10 feed these horses
and COWS. An average COW yields
$50 gallons of milk yearly. At
IL cent gallon the total return
to dairy farmers is over sS,ooe,-
900. It takes twenty-seVen pounds
Of milk to make one of butter, and
ten of milk to one of cheese. 1t
would require 100000 steers
weighing 1900 pounds each to
produce the same amount OF nu-
triton as the annual milk product.
These are big figures but they are
true

Keeping Cattle,

Every year the conviction is
forcing itself more firmly on the
average farmer that he is keeping,
or trying to keep, too many cattle,
and is consequently disposlng OF
the surplus, reser1ing only the
best, and the best is usually deter
mined by the milking qualities.
This indicates, aside from the adj
vanced condition of agriculture
that largely induces it, a progress
sive spirit in the Improvement of
stock. For when it is found that
but limited number can be well
kept, the question of quality be-
comes one of Importance. When
it is practically learned that the
keeping of stock well, necessarily
involves increased care and ex-
pense over the old method, the eff
feet will be TO improve the stock,
for 1t costs no more to keep good
ANIMALS than bad ones. Under
good caro- and treatment the native
breeds may be wonderfully i'm
proved, both for beef and milk,
and by using full-blooded bulls of
the popular breeds upon the ma
tive cows the Improvement may be
sufficiently advanced for all do
nestle purposes. Phe custom of
keeping pen full of cows, poor
and shiveriHg in the mud knee
deep on our prairies during the
winter months, it is to be hoped
vii; Will soon become a thing of the
past, and well sheltered end fed
cows take iheir place, yielding an
abundance of rich creamy milk,
both winter and summer, in re-
turnf or the change of treatment,

Cross Breeding of Fowls.

The quickest growing chicks,
says Farm and Garden, are the
Plymouth Rocks and 4angshans
The best cross known for produc
ing quick and large chicks is to
mate a Houdan cock with a Brah'
ma hen. The pullets of this cross
should be kept till the next season
and bred by a Plymouth Rock
cock. The excessive weight Of
four and one-half pounds has been
known to be attained from chicks
three months old By this cFassj a.;
though such weight cannot always
be relied upon, the experiment
demonstrated that not only was
the cross good one for inducing
early maturity and increase of car,
cass, but 4 fine chick for the table
is also the result. Among othel
good crosses may be mentioned
the mating of Houdan cocks with
any kind of good, square-bodied
hens. The Plymouth Rock cocks
make good crosses with all breeds,
especially for market chicks. The
best cocks f fGG8 sueh purposes, there
fore, are those of the Houdon,
L4ngshaH and Plymouth Rock
breeds.-Ex.

Written for Texas Farm and Ranch.
To thoroughly eradicate this pest
from the cereals, is question, the
solution of which is of vital inter
est to all farmers of Southern Tex
as, as well, perhaps, as many other
sections Of country, | have heal d
of many remedies and have tried n
few. such as salt, different kinds of
weeds, the leaves Of walnut trees,
etc, but none of them have given
any thinglike satisfaction, The I'M
portance ofthe question demands a
solution that can be positively re-
lied upon, and its general utility,
its ease of application, and the
cheapest remedy. 1t is perpleX-
ing question, and should engage
the attention and consideration of
some one equal to the problem, as
the cotton worm hss done, and of
which, i Dean deem of equal Importance
as a home interest, and surer
basis for "making a penny by saw
ing one." Such o subject deserves
more than a passing notice from
grange organization, and from any
source that has the progress OF ag-
riculture at heart. am quite GER
tain that suitable reward, made
by contribution from progressive
and enterprising farmers, would
engage the attention and consid-
Grafton of some one equal to the
problem, and the remedy could be
had. What we want is some one
to agitate, systematic and limit
the question, and have confidence
enough In the progressive spirit of
Texas farmers to believe that they
will staunchly augment IT with a.

Pecan Culture.

The Gulf Coast Progress thus
sums up what may be done in the
way OF raising pecans:
There are more undevcloped in
dustricS in the South than are now
known, and it seems passing strange
that no man has ever thought of
investing money in Il pecan grove.
IT'S true that it will require ten
years before it will return any in
come, but we all have to wait very
long before riches come to us. And
there is no one thing that in one
to twenty years will pay SO large
a profit, not even the famous orange
grove of Florida.
There are in the South millions
of acres of land that can be pur-
chased for S1.25 per acre or less,
that are the best of lands to put
out in pecans The land can be
deadenCd, or girdled, at n cost of
one dollar per acre, and fifty cents
per acre will plant the pecans.
Then all that will be necessary is
to keep the bushes cut down until
the pecan is three or four years
old, when they will shade the
ground; then it will be necessary
to burn the old logs, and it will he
ready to bear. At fifteen years old,
the trees will bear four bushels
each. This will be about 400 bushels
per acre, worth now about $500
per acre, or $4,000 for 100 acres
for an investment of less than
$1,000. These trees are subject to
no disease; storms never blow them
down, as the tap root runs fifteen
TO twenty feet deep. This is a
good opening for some man who
wishes to invest a little money for
his infant boy, that will make him
rich when he is twenty-one years
old. Try it, some one.
