Stabling the Cows ut Night.

My COWS have been kept in the stable
every night for the last seven years. Be-
fore that time my pasture had begun to
fail very perceptibly. At first we used
to SOW corn for fodder, to help exc out
the pasture until we turned in to fall feed.
And each year we kept increasing the
plat of fodder, but not enough to make up
the deficiency of the failing pasture. The
manure with which we used to grow
this feed was made during the winter,
and consequently took so much from the
usual winter store of fodder-for at that
time we saved only the solid part of the
manure, and our titled fields produced no
more or less each year only as the season
was good or bad. But feeding our cows
extra and turning out nights did not
bring up our pastures they still con-
tinued to fail. The cows would 60 to
the woods, or seek the poorest land, to lay
nights, where their droppings would do
the least good-and had nearly as soon
have stick or stone in place of their
droppings, for all the extra grass that
would grow there. have seen it advised
in print to 60 around with a hoe and
spread the manure. l have done so in
the mowings, and in places where the cat
tie had lain it would be as thick as if
spread at the rate of fifteen two-horse
loads to the acre; but it never increased
the grass (and 1 have spread it thus a
great many times) as like quantity,
drawn from the basement and spread late
in the fall, has many times since done.
Now we use muck and dirt to absorb the
liquid portion, and each year / find we
might have used more to good advantage
Some say it will not pay because they can
not get the dirt dry enough. If the dirt
was dry as ashes, a little would 60 great
ways, but would not 60 so far when used
as top-dressing Gas usually spreadD. Ex-
cept in flush feed, | give the COWS some
thing every night and not 30 much in the
morning. l think they feed better early
in the day, when the dew is on. They
will come up early at night and hang
round, as if to be fed, if there is not
much to be had in the pasture; and they
had better be put in the barn and fed,
thus saving the manure. Some say feed.
ing makes them lazy. have seen COWS
that thought were discouraged for want
of too little feed. If it pays to keep COWS
at all, they must have enough of some
thing to eat. The profit will come in the
extra milk and butter, better condition to
enter winter quarters, and the extra ma
nure-if saved. For the majority of our
farmers, the time has come when partial
soiling of their stock is their only saliva.

Fertilizers for Clubs.

F. w. Ainsworth of Calais, VT, writes
al have read with much interest the col
umns of your department in The WATCH
MAN, and especially the recent articles up
on commercial fertilizers. Can you give
us any information or help us in any way
to bring about the low price for cash for
these fertilizers We have farmers club
in good running order and wish to buy
carload of phosphate"
In reply to Mr.. Ainsworth we can say
that while manufactured fertilizers,
such as ground bone, gound South Caro-.
lima phosphate rock, sulphate of ammonia,
etc., can be bought in Boston at consid-
cradle reduction by the carload, a manu-.
featured phosphate is, under our new fer
tilizer law and the customs of the dealers,
not 30 easy to get in that way. The four
or five makers who have taken out
licenses have practically monopoly in
the state, and are, to all intents and pur-
poses, protected by the law against COM
petition from other makers, who might be
very willing and glad to sell the Calais
farmers an equally good article at a con.
siderably less price, but who could not af-
ford to take out license to make only
such single sale. The only competition
now existing is between the few licensed
companies, and these are all working
through agents who are protected by their
principals, the manufacturers. No pur-
chases can be made except through these
agents, and of course they must have their
commissions. The best that can be
done is to get one of these agents to d.
vide his commission with the club. If we
had any home fertilizer factories it might
be different, but even then it would be
very difficult to make the farmers in
general have the same confidence in a
home company that had not first made
reputation by expensive advertising and
costly agencies. Upon the purchaser
comes at last all the expense that the
seller is put to in persuading him to buy,
and this is often half the cost of the
article. If the simple facts about manures
and fertilizers we're taught in our schools,
as part of elementary chemistry, we
should in time have a race of farmers who
would know what they want and how to
get it, just as they now do when they buy
-four and salt, which require no "drum-
ming" and for which money spent in
drumming would be wasted.

power over all scrofulOus troubles, as the re-
markable testimonials we have received
Enthusiastically prove.
MEssRs. G. I. Hoop & Co.: Gentlemen
My youngest son has always been
troubled with Scrofulous Humor; sores in
his head discharging from his ears, and a rum
ming sore on the back Of his ear for two
years; his eyelids would tester and ulcerate,
dscharging so that was obliged to wash
them open every morning, his eyelashes
nearly all coming out; he was exceedingly
dainty, most of the time eating but two slight
meals day. we were unable to find any.

How are we TO Judge the outcome Of
the present great presidential campaign.
To read the reports contained i'm eastern
daily republican papers everything is
running smoothly FIR a republican VIC
tory. Montrous and storming demon
STATIONS are made for Blaine and Logan
by all the labor organizations. Enorm
ously long professions march up and
down the streets, swinging to the breeze
above them emblems of their fealty to
the republican candidates. Clevelands
action in vetoing what they call "The
Laboring Mems Bills" vigorously dis
played with the most telling effect. All
heretofore republican states will give
larger majorities than or n previous
election, and all doubtful states, and
some that are not doubtful, including
Missouri, will roll up to the front with
the Black Jack. The very reverse with
the democrats; with them everything
is their way. From New York to Cali
fornia the great States Governor is far In
the lead. Forty thousand laboring men
form in procession, all in one line, and
stretch rom one end 10 the Other Of a
montrous city TO show their allegiance
to the man who did not veto five i'm
portant labor bills that are now working
great benefit to the laboring classes Of
his state and had good cause to veto ingen-
ious contrived measures passed 10y the
men whom they elected as their state
legislators. Aside from these two polit-
zeal prophesies Prohibitionist st. John
and Widow Butler claim to be able to
throw the election either way they may
desire and both the leading parties
claiming, at random, the Irish and Ger
man vote. Here goes IA prominent re-
publican over to the democrats and
there Il prominent democrat over to the
republicans, and their voices can be
heard in advocacy of their chosen candi-
dates from Maine TO Oregon. Please
pull the wool over our eyes while We
draw straws which way to bet, will take
The chances.
