THE DAIRY.

Beets, turnips or ensilage are es-
sential to successful winter dairy
ing.
Oats make excellent cow feed
but corn should never be given sep
arately.
The creamery, well managed, is
claimed to be one Of the most pro-
titable of modern institutions.
The COW should always be fed Ell
Their ground or soft feed, and never
be given whole grain.
The COW is mother of our beef
and the source OF our milk, butter
and cheese. Surely an animal SC
useful and such prolific source of
wealth should be well cared for.
Butter and milk are two things
which the hard times do not affect
to any serious extent; and, perhaps,
taking one season with another, the
prices are more nearly maintained
than on any other products ef the
farm.
A kicking cow is never cursd by
harsh treatment. Kindness will
generally subdue heifers and yeung
COWS, but after the habit once be-
comes fixed by several years of prac-
tice the only remedy is to turn the
COW out with her calf, or to fatten
and sell her to the butcher.

BARRED WIRE WITH VINEs.-A
practical vine grower, who believes
in adding beauty to utility, says:
"The difficulty in preventing injury
to stock from barbed wire fences is
obviated to some extent by making
them trellises for grapevine. The
barbs are just as effective in .repell-
ing stock; but the difficulty would
be that after few eyears the fruit
would become too valuable to be
subjected to stock depredations.
In many places roadside fences are
dispensed with, because stock are
never allowed on the roads except
as driven to market. In such pla-
ces a barbed wire road fence as a
trellis for grape vines would be en-
tirely practicable

The Springfield Republican (Con-

50 The Lord reigns, and the govern
ment at Washington still lives.
Truly there is abundant food for
thought in the present sitatisn at
the national capital. The Ameri-
can people have changed admins
trations without a shiver, and Pres
ident Cleveland sets out with a
standard so high that men fear he
cannot keep up to it. Where are
the peril, the disaster to business
and public interests that heated
stump orators threatened us with
during the memorial days Of last
November? They are not visible
to the naked eye at this writing.
The Inauguration ceremonies, the
new hcabinet and first fortnight OF
the Observation-Disclosures all have
been peaceful, creditable and bus
mess like. The president thus
early commands the confidence of
the plain people, irrespective of
party linss. = 1t will not
pay to magnify Mr. Cleveland into
modern Abraham, chosen to be
the God-ordained leader of the
American people, the one man com
petent to oversee an orderly and adj
yantageous politicafrevolution; and
neither is it desirable on the other
hand to underestimate the magni-
tude of the work accomplished; but
it is eminently sensible to accept
the new president Ter just what he
is, an honest man, filled with a pur-
pose to discharge the trust given
him with patriotic fidelity"

practically excludes those who
have served in the southern armies

The most important work on the
farm is the preparation of the soil
for new crops. The farmer who
thinks he can raise uniformly good
crops, by any method which Sights
the preparation and cultivation of
the soil will certainly be disap-
pointed year after year. 1t is too
frequently the case with farmers to
be inclined to accept what the soil
gives without the aid Of artificial
means, and make no attempt to as
sist nature in giving a more gene
rous yield. Nature will do her
part, and the hnsbandman must do
his in the preparation and fertiliza-
ton of the soil, and in the thorough
nurture and care of the young and
growing crop. In no other way
can the farmer expect his land to
yield him a generous living.

When about to invest additional
sums of money in any business, OF
when thinking of entering any new
enterprise, it is entirely proper to
ask the question "Will it pay?" II
it Is a new business, better ask some
one who has made a success of it,
and notice that his answer is al
ways a conditional ene-not at
will pay;" but, at will pay if prop
erly managed;" or 1T paid me, but
1 had to work tor it, This rule
holds good in any business, and no.
tably so in rearing any kind of line
stock. 1t pays in proportion to
the intelligence, industry, enter
prise and economy used, rather
than in proportion to the amount
of money invested.

The Prairie Farmer states that
the recent ensilage congress in New
York Cityowas attended by several
hundred dairymen, farmers and
other interested. Most speakers
recommended cutting ensilage crops
when nearly or quite ripe. The
general expression was in favor of
cutting fine before depesiting in the
silo. Some speakers said the feed
injured horses; others that it was
good for them. 1t was resolved:
"That the observations carefully
made of the system of silags and
the experience gained in its prac-
tice during the past year has served
to deepen our confidence in its mer
its, and have demonstrated that it
furnishes a more economical food
than can be obtained under any
other system, and at the same time
one that is perfectly heslthful, both
to the animal and the product.
