Mr.. Hatcher offered the following:
That the Convention earnestly re-
quests a select committee Of the State
Agricultural Convention to memorial
ize the Legislature of Virginia with
regard to the general law Of enclosures,
so as to take sheep and hogs from the
list therein enumerated as requiring a
legal fence.
Also to devise some general plan for
the protection of sheep by taxing dogs
or compelling their owners, under pro-
per penalties, to control them at night !;
and to be personally responsible for all
damages committed by them also to
enact laws to control local taxation
within proper bounds.

they will do; each will run his farm one sum

at low prices and when he gets through will
say, farming don't pay" and so determine
to let the farm go, and it will probably 90 to
some German who has saved enough to pay
for team and tools. he runs in debt for the
whole farm and goes to work, and when he
comes in from his work he won't go into

put perfumery on his whiskers.
On the contrary he will wash out of DOORS
in an iron skillet, step into a room with bare
floor and table without a cloth on it, and
when he is through hurried eating, 90 right
out to work again. And he will lift the mort
gage, pay for the farm, and pay for it Just as
soon as the farm produces enough to sell for
as much as the farm cost. The money will

Agricultural.



The Maine Farmer, making estimates on
the basis Of experiments made at the state
college farm, computes the cost OF pound
of butter at fifteen cents. These expert
ments show that the best results, taking all
things into account, have been obtained when
miloh COWS are given a ration of twenty
pounds Of hay, three pounds each OF bran,
cotton seed meal and Indian meal per day.
In figuring the cost of the butter at fifteen
cents pound the hay was reckoned at ten
dollars ton. It will be seen by any one
that will take the trouble to make the calcu-
lation that they keep good COWS at the Maine
state farm, or at least that il requires good
COW TO make butter at a cost Of only fifteen
cents when fed the daily rations named. Let
us see. The cost of twenty pounds Of hay
at $40 per ton is ten cents. Nine pounds OF
feed composed Of equal parts Of corn meal,
cotton seed meal and bran, at the present
low price of grain will cost about twelve
cents, making the cost of the daily ration OF
hay and meal % cents, or $1.54 per week.
To pay the first cost of the feed with butter
at fifteen cents the COW must average 10 Alt
pounds per week. Though there are few
COWS that make more than this when taker
at their best, il there ia single large dairy
in Maine or elsewhere that averages thii
amount per week for each COW, through thu
season, there should be more said about it
With the daily rations of hay and grain
found to give the best result at the the Main'
college farm, butter from an average dair!
cannot be sold for less than twenty-five cent
pound and pay the cost of the feed. Ye
we notice that several agricultural paper
have commented on the results said to hsv
been obtained at the Maine college farm, a
IL it was an established fact that the cost o
making butter was, or might be, only hfteei
cents a pound

TVR VFRMONT PHoNTx AND RECORD FARMER, FRIDAY FE


Messrs. Editors In late paper the state
ment was made that experiments at the
Maine state college farm showed that, with
hay at $40 per ton, butter could be made for
IS cents per pound with the following daily
ration per COW, viz. 20 pounds Of hay and
three pounds each of bran, oottonseed and
Indian meal. Let us see 20 pounds OF hay,
10 cents three pounds Of bran, cents;
three pounds Of cotton seed, ~ centsi three
pounds meal, 80 oents-total, 214 cents for
one day for days, $1.4s2.
Now it is a very nice dairy that will aver
age per COW Eve pounds per week for the en-
tire year. There are more that will average
four pounds than Ave pounds. Indeed, the
sales of the Maine state college farm dairy
of 40, mostly thoroughbred Jersey cows, "
was only $223O Go, or $50. 76 per COW, which
m st have been less than four pounds per
we elk to COW IL they sold their butter for a
fair market price. But IL the average is FIVE
pounds per week you must get 80 cents per
pound to cover the cost Of the cows ration.
And in Brattleboro. with hay at $40 per ton,
you must add 10 cents per day, or 20 cents
per week to the above mentioned cost sc
the farmer who sells his butter for 80 cents
is minus that amount.
Nor is that all. From the time the farmer
takes his pail to milk to the time bis buttei
is delivered in market, q good deal of worl
has been done by him and somebody in thu
house, and they have just as good right t.
fair conn ensation as any other class Of Ia
borers.
To be sure there is some Offset to this reck
oning. II the manure will pay man 10
feeding and caring for his cows, then he ha
the skinned milk, after paying what the but
ter don't pay for the rations, for his and tn
dairymaids services, to feed his pigs ant
calves and chickens. II those who consum
his butter envy him this compensation, lie
them try it. BUTTER-NAKER.

TJneblack is generally in good demand at

better return than when made into fertilizers,
for which accordingly only the poorer grades
are used. These are the ordinary body bones
of cattle and sheep, the skull being convert

are rendered by being boiled in an open ket-
tie or in closed tanks under a pressure of
from Is to 40 pounds. The tank boiled
bones are very much preferred by the bone
black manufacturers, as by this process the
nitrogen is removed and the carbon left
The leg bones of cattle and sheep are used
for a number of different purposes. The
shin bones and feet of cattle contain consid-

tanned on an average from every four feet of
good sized cattle. The skin and thigh bones
are thoroughly clesnsed Of all meat and
grease. The liquor in which they were
boiled was formerly thrown away but now
very fair quality of sizing glue is manufac-
tued from it. Some shin bones are burnt for
boneblsck or converted into fertilizers, but
the bulk of them are worked up into knife
handles.
The round shin bone comes from the hind
leg, and the fiat from the fore leg. The bulk
Of the shin bones in the Eastern market are
shipped to Europe, though there is a manu-.
factory at Newburyport, Mass The knuck-
les Of the shin bones are sawed of, and used
either for lampblack or fertilizers. Shin
bones for knife handles will bring over $40
per ton, but for burning, ETC., only about
S25 per ton. The knuckles of thigh bones
are also sawed of and used for boneblack or
fertilizers. The thigh bones are worth $50
per ton, and are manufactured into tooth
brush handles. Very few are exported
The front leg bones of cattle are worth
$50 per ton, and manufactured into collar
buttons, fancy bone trimmings, jewery, par
asol handles ETC., both here and in England.
The American factories are in Connecticut.
Long Island, and Philadelphia Sleeps legs
are also manufactured into parasol handles
and various fancy articles. The bone waste
and dust caused by the saving, etc., is used
as feed for cattle and hens, and is alao
worked up into boneblack and fertilizers.
Boston, acoordingto the Commercial Bullet
in OF that city, is a smaller bone market than
formerly, as the gradual falling of in the
slaughter of cattle in that vicinity, and the
increase in the West has caused decrease
in the amount of bones coming into that
market. Occasionally cargoes of South
American bones are received at that port.
and are either bought by comeback or fertil,
izer manufacturers or shipped to England.

1t is the general opinion that an apple once
frozen is of but little value, in fact, that it
will be soft and lifeless but 1t is not so, II 1t
does not thAw too rapidly, and it is not dis
turbed until the frost is entirely out. When
IL is discovered that q barrel of apples has
frozen, the usual practice is to remove them
to warm place, and sometimes they
are taken out Of the barrel and plunged into
cold water. This is all wrong. When an
apple is frozen it should be left undisturbed
until it is very certain that the frost is all out
of it. If the apples are in an open barrel OF
box, they should be covered over so as to
keep them cool and in the dark but in do
ing so, care should be taken not to touch the
fruit, for wherever frozen apple is touched
IL will make q soft place. In fact, the sim
pie rolling of a barrel of apples over will ru
in it. In freezing, apples shrink 80 muct
that a barrel will not be full by nearly peck
in consequence Of this, in rolling barre
over it bruises every apple, and every bruis'
will show when the apple thaws, and will
soon begin to decay.
When apples are frozen in tight barrels, i
they are not not started until entirely thawe'
out, it will not injure them in the least, un
less they chance to be in the open air
where they will suddenly thRw out. " N

It is reported that some one is trying to
persuade 500 Vermont men and women to
colonize in Texas. We hope he will not sue
coed. Texas might be benefited, but there is
no prospect that the condition of the majority
Of the 800 men and women would be bettered
by changing their residence from Vermont to
that state. For things that make country
undesirable as a home for civilized and REIN
ed people, Texas has an unfortunate reputa-
ton. We believe it was Gen. Sheridan who
said that, if he owned the whole of Texas and
He'll he would sell out Texas and go to Hell,
We should wait for further knowledge of
both states before fully approving the Cen
erals choice, but between Texas and YER
mont there ought to bs no question. To say
nothing of surroundings, the average condi-
ton of the Vermonter,a as to property alone, is
far better than the Texans. The true valua-
ton of property, per capita, as given by Rob
ert P. Porter and Henry Gannet, special sta
tistcians of the last U. S. census, was 5000
in Vermont, and $519 in Texas. But Texas
is growing rapidly and it may sometime have
per capita wealth equal to that in Vermont.
1t is a state of immense extent, being large
enough to make more than 80 states as large
as Massachusetts,. 1t has, of course, a great
variety of soil and climate. In 1880 there
were about 600 natives of Vermont in the
state. If the facts could be ascertained, VT
have little doubt it would be found that ma
jority of these were less pleasantly situated
than they would have been had they remain
ed in the state of their birth. 1t is grea
detriment to Vermont that her sons are en-
couraged to emigrate and help develop othe
states, while the resources of our are neglec
ted. Though everywhere acknowledged t.
be one of the best agricultural states of III
east, and having great undeveloped facilitie
for manufacturing, her increase in populatio
during the last census decade was the leas
all the states. She was only saved frsnd
tual loss by fraction of one per ceprf III
