there is difference of 70 per cent. be-
tween u dairy so handled and one that

during cold weather. l have found
that !. cow will drink forty pounds

same weight, and on nearly the same
feed. aud that she will drink very much
more water if it be given to her two or

than il turned loose in the yard to
drink. and among cows the heaviest
mixers are the heaviest drinkers. He

tain just the amount and kind Of food
necessary and profitable rs a ration for
a dairy cow. Prices Of different kind,
OF grain will govern and require
changes. but this year have adopted

spoke OF the necessity Of reducing the
cost Of collecting the cream. Will

will see Il larger price paid for cream
and happier creamery men.
o. G. Gregg. of Marshall. WHO runs
Il winter dairy, gave his views, us fol.
lows:
lie will milk thirty COWS tl;s winter:
COWS are fresh in the fall. The SrAiil
raised in summer on the farm is ground
| and fed to these cows during the win
| ter months, and thus converted into
| fresh butter for winter use. The calves
| are raised In the winter most success
fully.
| The peculiar benefits of this method
are summed up us follows:
First-l'utter made when butter
! brings good price.
Second-Vinter weather is favorable
to COWS in milk, and to the keeping
and making of dairy products.
| Thiid-Calyes are raised when time
can he given to them. and are at IN age
to be turned out to grass when spring
| comes.
| Fonrth-The }aborers of the farmer
are given continuous wrrk. and the
farmer by the increased returns is able
| to pay an increase OF wages over the
usual yearly amount.
/ Fifth-By this continual labor en-
| plOyed the manure of the farm can lp
| certainly spread upnn the fields and
| the general farm work he better done
Sixti-Fecding the grain or grass
| products the COWS after this manner
and making sale of the butteras grain
| product greatly increases the fertility
| OF the farm.
Seventh-The making of winter but
ter will equalize the price Of dairy prod
ucts, obviating the low prices Of sum-
mer. aud giving good prices during the
winter scarcity. To-day only ten COWS
| out of 100 are fresh in winter.

Il reader informs MS that he did not
not get the drift of the recent article
in our columns proposing il testimonial
| to Gen. Clingman, who is making the
| wonderful curative effects Of tobtcco

copying an article or two from late
number of Health and u,n,, in which
paper Gen. Clingm III has been publish

In IA recent letter the General says:

One had Il. sprained ankle and from

These statements attracted my atten-

on Toe River, in Yancy county, and
found y child fifteen miles away from

mother some tobacco, which she ap-
piled to its throat. This was in the
morning. On my return in the even-
