Experience with Guernseys.

Lewis F. Allen, that veteran western
New York farmer, writes to the Country
Gentleman as follows: | can hardly tell
you how much like them. have been
using grade Guernseys, half and three
fourths booded ones. for several years,
originating from high grade Shorthorn
cows, mainly good mixers. For butter
making, choose thorough bred Guern-
sey bulls for building up a herd of dairy
cows, preferring them over the Jersey
for their superior size, carrying more
flesh, yielding milk of equally rich quality
and more comely looks. Taking good
shapes from the Shorthorn grade dams,
they avoid the depressed backs of the
Jersey-for love straight back in a
constitution. although, in this latter quail
ty, wish to do no injustice to the smaller
islanders. AS rule, my Guernseys are
uniformly good mixers. Their udders
are square, well set fore and aft with
well-sized teats, easy to grasp by the hand
and giving their milk freely. As to the
quantity in weight OF either milk or butter
they yield, have never tested them by
forcing into them more expense of food
for weeks or two weeks trial than the
butter they make would be worth. con-
sldering all such processes as too hazard
Gus to their health and lives
They are remarkably kind and gentle
in temper, loving even in disposition, and
frequently. as | drive with the horse and
buggy into the pastures in summer they
surround me-the young heifers-almost
climbing into the wagon or on my getting
out to fondle them. licking my hand or
grasping my coat tails, in their affection
ate tondness. Not one of them, has prov
ed kicker in milking. nor shown single
vice in management, being always treat
ed with kindness. No milk stool or
switch logging, even on a fractions COW
of any breed, has ever been permitted in
my herds, and with these Guernseys
deserving instance of the kind has not
been developed.
They yield their milk continuously from
dropping their calves until nearly the
time of the next coming calf, and in some
instances would continue without cessa-
ton, having to force drying off for four
or SIX weeks, which always should be
done for the rest to both the COW herself
and the good condition of her offspring.
Their percentage of cream to milk is
quite equal to that of the Jersey (asI
have compared them,) in the quality of
their butter. They are quite to my salts
faction as butter-makers.

Sand in Agriculture.

A Vermont reader expresses surprise at
the evident good effect produced upon a
piece OF grass by spreading upon it a
quantity of common sand. such as is used
by masons for making mortar. 1t is no
new thing to find grass helped by applica-
tons of sand or gravel spread upon the
surface as top-dressing. Sand is mostly
fragments of broken stone. If the stone
was chiefly quartz its fertitzing value will
be less than if composed of lime or potash
yielding material. The mineral food
taken up by vegetation must originally
have all come from the stones in our soil,
which are gradually being worn down by
the roots of plants. Sand and gravel have
also an influence upon many soils by
Tightening them and letting in air. and
making them more readily absorbent of
moisture. Air and water should circulate
with moderate freedom through our
agricultural soils, and sand or gravel
mixed into stiff clay greatly improves it
for agricultural purposes as well as for
brick making. Just how sand helps grass
when spread upon the surface may not
always be easily explained. 1t may help
some as mulch, covering the roots a
little deeper. 1t may hurry up the de-
composition of the vegetable matter on
the surface which then becomes fertiliz-
er, and it may yield of itself little miner
al plant food needed by the grass.
Very little sand is so poor that it will
not be worth using in moderate quantity
for busting stable floors or tor bedding
the animals in warm weather. Sand thus
mingled with manure prevents it from
becoming compact and lumpy. Such
manure is always like old compost ready
to spread for immediate use without ex-
pensive handling over. Many look upon
the soil of our fields much in the light of
ballast to hold plants and trees in position.
and to certain extent this view is a cor
rect one. Gardeners find very sandy soils
can be made highly productive by the APP
plcation of fertilizer and some kind of
mucky or carbonaceous material to alb
sorb and retain moisture. Even the sift-
ings from the machines that break boulder
rocks into road material are found capa-
BILE, with a little artificial fertilizer. of
growing good garden vegetables. Under
many abrupt cliffs. as by the rocky walls
of the Niagara river banks, the great tis-
sures at Ausable and Watkins Glen in
New York State, where the rock itself,
pure and simple, is gradually peeling and
scaling and falling from dizzy heights and
collecting in piles at the bottom. may al
ways be seen some form OF vegetation
growing in apparently clear rock frag-
ments. Do not despise a sandy farm and
do not neglect to use sand freely in the
stables when it can be had cheaply. ".
E. Farmer.

working a new and novel scheme. A man who
assumes the alias of w. P. Smith, and who
claimed to be travelling agent for an Eastern

county, and agreed to make him present of ten

was necessary to tell to whom and where the
paint was to be shipped. In few days, two
strangers called upon Mr.. Rushton and informed
him that they had note on him for 1926. Mr..
Rushton had bought no paint, and had not even
