Satisfactory Prospects.

Stockman.
OF all classes of men directly con-
nected with agriculture the breeders
of fine stock have at this time, if we
read the signs of the times Alright, the
most substantial and promising out
look for steady future profit. No
idea is more firmly fixed in the agri-
cultural mind just now than that the
permanent good of the farming bust
ness requires a decided Improvement
in the average quality of the farm
stock ofthe country. This has been
demonstrated with a clearness which
leaves no ground for question or
doubt. Among the first things to be-
done, therefore, when times shall
have shown specific tendency to-
ward improvement will be to invest
more freely than ever before in good
stock. We cannot but regard this as
one of the most certain of all things
connected with the future of Ameri-
can farming.
1t is true that breeders are just now,
as rule, having light trade. In
fact, many are doing almost nothing.
This, however, is only natural Sc
quence of the general condition of
current business. 1t would be phe-
nominal, indeed, if breeders should
now be thronged with business when
men in all other pursuits are finding
things so dull.
But the breeder is, in the matter of
prices, rather more than holding his
own. Outside of an occasional sale
ofpurely fancy stock, for which high
prices must be realized, breeding
stock is averaging fully as well as
could be expected under the hammer
of the auctiOneer. Especially is this
the case in the west, where the bulk
of the recent sales have taken place.
The prices obtained are not high, but
in comparison with ruling values of
fat stock they have been well sus-
tanned. Indeed few lines of values
have declined as little within the
past year as have those of animals
(other than Sheep designed for breed
ing purposes. The level-headed, per.
sistent breeder can almost regard his
future as assured.

CURED by the other to separate the
same amount being only three hours.
He also states that premature cool
ing of the milk before setting is more
serious in its effect upon a thorough
separation than the first mention
ed point. When milk conveyed
to a creamery in common vehicle,
by centrifugal separation gave 100
pounds of butter, a sample of milk of
the same quantity and quality con-
veyed in the same manner, and set
in ice water gave 9O.S pounds, while
another sample that had been cooled,
transported as before, and then set in
ice water gave only $40 pounds.
AS a general rule, Prof. Ford found
that the yield of butter grew less the
lower the temperature of the milk be-
fore setting, When milk set in ice
water directly after milking gave 100
pounds, milk that had previously
been cooled to $50 gave 95.7 pounds,
$40 gave 81 pounds, 4S0 gave 1858
pounds. A means of restoring the
original qualities of such milk was
found in warming the milk to about
l040 before setting.

For a Lifetime.

l have suffered for years with an
eruption-breaking cut at intervals all
over my body. At times my hands
would be useless, which were both
painful and annoying. All other re-
NEEDLES had been exhausted, when my
merchant here, who handles S. S. S.,
induced me to try Swift's Specific. 1
tried one bottle and could see that the
sores on my hands we're drying up.
After the use of several bottles was
entirely cured. My skin is now as
fair and smooth as that of new born
babe. This eruption was hereditary,
as my father was similarly affected. He
had also been entirely cured. l take
great pleasure in recommending it to
others who are similarly affected. I
can vouch for it. 1t all it claims to be.

Jerseys as Butter Producers.

In an address before a recent meet
ing of the Tioga County IN, " dairy
men, Mr. George Griswold used the
following language: "Some people
will argue that Jerseys are not a hardy,
rugged breed, calculated to endure the
cold winters of our Northern climate,
and that they require better care than
the ordinary farmer gives his stock.
My experience with them (for the
past five or six years raising Jerseys
with the common native cows has
been that they have, with the same
care and feed, wintered equally as well
and grown as fast as the natives that
were kept with them. That the Jer-
seys are large feeders for their size
there is no doubt; that they give the
richest milk of any known breed is
quite as certain, and some of them give
quite large quantities--some giving as
high as twenty.six quarts land when
we take into consideration that from
eighteen to twenty-five per cent. of
this milk is cream, making stiff, firm
texture of butter, with a color that
cannot be excelled by any known
breed; and then with the mild, clear,
full, expressive eyes, gentle, and low
ing to be petted, it is not strange that
these animals become the favOrites Of
all that have them about them. The
holding-out qualities of the Jerseys i;
of no small Importance. The dairy
man wants the COW that will give him
the greatest profit for the year.
have seen receipts of four pounds ant
two and one, half ounces per day, TWEEN
ty>Six pounds and eight and one.hal
ounces in seven days, and from 500
to 900 pounds have been made in {
year. After trying a number of breeds
l cannot hesitate in saying that thu
Jerseys excel all Others in butter pro-
duction."

Feeding Sugar to Stock.

The Sugar Bowl and Farm Journal
suggests that hay, fodder and straw is
made very palatable to stock, as well
as very nutritious, by sprinkling it
over with cheap sugar. 1t can be
bought for a few cents per pound,
and has happy effect, the stock de-
vouring every blade of it eagerly.
Or it can be made into a syrup and
sprinkled over the hay with the gar
den sprinkler as 1t is housed. Its
best effects are seen in the production
of milk, large increase of butter be-
ing the immediate effect.
1t would be good idea if some of
our farmers, who are creating such
surprises in butter making, would ex-
pertinent with it as an addition to the
food of cows. A pound of cheap SUI
gar, while not materially increasing
the cost, might give large results in
the churn. The authority quoted
vouches for its effect on cows. Itcer-
tainly would not injure the cows any,
and we believe it would give a fine
flavor to the milk. 1t is certainly
worth a trial. In India, where cere-
ais are high, horses are fed with ii
quite freely at certain seasons of the
year, with the happiest effects. The
residum of beet sugar is used in all
countries where it is made as a food
fer all animals, and it has asingularly
fattening property. 1t is well known
that, during sugar making in Louisi.

Another Remedy for Gapes.

Farmer and Fruit Grower.
l have had little experience in
poultry raising that / desire to give
the world the benefit of. The dis
ease called pipes" or "gapes" need
never prove fatal if the following di-
rectiOns are followed in treatment of
the disorder: Place all the chicks
that show symptoms in a wash-tub;
give them saucer of water; cover
the tub with thick cloth; place a
small quantity Of tobacco in the bot
tom of a clay pipe bowl get it well
ignited, then fill the bowl; place it
under the cloth and blow the tub
full of smoke, if it takes a pound of
tobacco and starts the bottom of your
stomach. After the tub has been
full of smoke for one minute, not any
longer, take off the cover and fan the
chicks. They will have the appear
ance of being dead, but give them
plenty of fresh air and they will re-
vive. Then place thin cloth over
the tub to give a circulation of air.
In the course of two hours every
worm will be coughed up, and you
will have no further trouble with
that lot. Don't be afraid of giving
too much smoke, but don't leave
them too long in it.

Luck on the Farm.

Rural New York.
A Wisconsin diaryman uttered a
great and pregnant truth when he re.
marked at meeting of dairymen that
sit was not by special dispensation
of Providence that a certain farmer re-
ceived $98 per head for the yearly pro-
duct of his cows, while his neighbOr re-
ceived only $50 per head" 80 it is
not a special act of Providence" re-
marks Mr.. Henry Stewart, "that on
one side of the fence corn yields 80
bushels per acre and the hay three
tons, while on the other side the pro-
ducts are 30 bushels of corn and ton
of hay" An enterprising farmer writes
that he is cutting his second crop Of
clover, which yields full ton per acre,
and his neighbors wonder how it is.
The secret is that this farmer used
plaster on his clover, which made all
the difference; and his other crops are
equally conspicuous and remarkable be-
cause he uses fertilizers literally a;
well as manure. The rain falls on all
alike, but the better farmer gets the
most good from the rain and the sun
because he prepares and enriches the
ground better, and SO gives the natura
elements better chances to extend
their benign influence.

Buying Wall Paper.

Light papers make a dark, dingy
room much more cheerful; large fig,
ures make small room look much
smaller and occasions much waste in
matching the figures. All low rooms
should be paperel with striped paper,
having the stripes running up and
down, as it makes the room seem much
higher. Subdued tints take off the
glare OF too many windows. The best
effect is produced by having a paper
with pattern and colors of quiet tone,
such as does not at once strike the eyes
on coming into the room. The paper
should relieve and set out the furniture
that stands in front of it, not attract
attention from it.

Butter Making.

Spirit of the Farm.
Since the introduction of the system
of testing Jersey cows for butter, and
establishing their value to great ex-
tent in proportion to the quantity
they give, butter making has really
become fine art. Its value, how
ever, in cases of this kind, does not
consist 50 much in the quality as the
quantity, for really a tirst-class article
of gilt-edge butter cannot be made
where the conditions require it to be
worked as dry as prescribed by the
rules for official tests. The art con-
sists first in conditioning the cow and
feeding her judiciously during the
test, and in handling the milk prop
erly; and the latter is by no means
of secondary Importance.
Recent scientific experiments have
been made by Prof. Ford as to the
most favorable manner of handling
milk to get the greatest amount OF
butter, which go to prove that shak-
ing of milk before setting is detrimen-
tai to a rapid separation Of the cream.
OF two samples of milk, one being
shaken before being set aside, the lat
ter required eight hours to separate
seven per cent of cream, the time re-

The Fruit Crop.
,pirit of the Farm.

Spirit of the Farm.
This should be one of the most
profitable fruit years that we have had
in Tennessee for a dozen or more. The
crop Is bountiful, and of extra quality;
much better in this respect than it is
in many of the fruit regions that our
growers annually come in contact with
in the markets Of the country. An
other material advantage that Tennes-
see fruit-grOwers have this year is in
the serious injury done in many of the
largest fruit-growing localities North
by the severe freezes of last winter.
Under these fortunate circumstances
our fruit crop this year should be of
more than ordinary profit, and certain
ly will be if properly handled. The
low quotations given in the market re-
ports on dried fruits should in no way
deter the grower from utilizing as much
of his crop as he can in this way. The
much talked of surplus from last years
crop may be recognized by specula'
tor as being on the market, but it
would not affect the new crop the
fractional part of a cent if the farmers
were prepared and disposed to hold.
Much of the old crop is wormy and
