What Our Cows are Doing.

II has been estimated that the average
cow of the United States gives about
five quarts of milk per day through the
year, or 1900 quarts in all. For Pc
rlod of three hundred days, allowing
the COWS to 90 dry sixty-five days, this
would equal a yield Of six quarts per
day, which is probably not very far out
of the way. II is also estimated that
about one half of all the milk produced
in the country is converted into butter
and cheese, the other half being used
at home or sold for family use in the
towns and cities. 1t probably requires
about twenty-seven pounds Of milk to
yield a pound of butter, and ten pounds
for a pound of cheese by the ordinary
methods practiced.
The number of milch cows in the
country is set at 100000, which is
doubtless nearly correct. Over l2,000,-
900 upon farms, are reported in the
last census, and there are many others
kept by villagers, one to family. The
product of each COW is nearly all con-
sumed by three persons. Each in
.babitant, on the average, consumes
about a pint and half of milk daily,
in the form of food and drink. and as
much more in the shape of butter and
cheese. There is the same amount of
nutriment in three and a half pounds
of milk as there is in one pound Of beef.
10 furnish in the form Of beef the
equivalent TO the milk yielded in a
single year, by our 100000 milch
COWS, would require the slaughtering
Of 24,000,000 fat steers weighing, on an
average, 1900 pounds each. Surely,
the COW is worthy of much respect, and
the best OF treatment.-NeO England

Feed For the Family Cow.

Many query as TO the proper food for
Che family COW when in milk. Bran is
always good, and the heavier the bet
ter. Cotton seed meal has large pro-
portion of milk-forming food, and II
fed in small quantities is valuable
food. 1t is, however, very stimulating
10 milk production and must not be fed
10 excess. The COW will also need some
starchy foods, which is partly supplied
by cornstalks and hay, but little corn
meal is necessary to make enough of
this. Corn meal and oats ground to-
gether makes good feed. Five pr unds
of bran, four pounds Of corn meal and
Two pounds Of cotton seed meal per day
80 fair-sized COW in full milk will not
be too much, and with the coarse fod-
der usually fed will give satisfactory
iseturns. Many consider buckwheat
!bran valuable, but We prefer wheat
bran as being more dlgestible, which
answers the same purpose as being
richer. - Detroit Posi-.

Experiments with onions.

The onion trials of the last season at
the New York Experiment Station were
with thirty-four named varieties, which
were planted in rows ten feet long and
eleven and one-half inches apart, the
seeds being covered one-half inch deep.
Three rows of each variety we're planted,
in order to note the difference in effect
upon yield of closeness in planting. In
the first row the plants were thipned to
three inches apart in the second to two
inches, and in the third to one inch apart
The earliest variety to mature it's bulb
was the Extra Early Red in 116 days
from planting the latest, ten varieties,
in 1G3 day. In nearly every case the yield
was the smallest in the first row, where
tho spaces were three inches, and the
largest in the third row, where the spaces
were one inch, but in no case was the in
creased yield of the second and third rows
in proportion to the increased number of
plantr. AS rule, the largest bulbs were
