FARM NOTES.

Regulate the feed Of your horses
to correspond with the amount OF
work they are required to do.
A well-known hOrseman. who be-
lieves strongly in pedigrees, says
when compelled TO choose between
all pedigree and no horse, OF all
horse and no pedigree, he takes the
horse every time.
If oats are crushed or just coarse
IL ground, before they are given to
horses, they will prove more nour-
ishing. In England they are pass
ed through rollers. But ifa horses
teeth are good IL will generally
grind it's oats pretty well. There is
a great difference in horses, hOwev-
err, in this respect, just as there is in
men. Some bolt their food much
more rapidly and less masticated
than others. But whatever grain
YOU feed, do not let the horse drink
Immediately after. If you do, much
of the grain will be washed out OF
the stomach without being digest

Sugar Importers are hopeful that
the cargo of one hundred and 6fty
cans of centrifugal sugar which ar
rived in New York from Cuba last
Saturday, will cali special attention
to the injurious effects of the Sugar
Trust recently established in that
city. The cargo has been offered at
81 cents per pound, with cost and
freight added, making total of
5.9l cents per pound, without find
inc buyer. Members ofthe Sugar
Trust. however, have come forward
and hid cents per pound, with cost
and freight, or 5.4l cents in all.
The importer was obliged to accept
this bid. 1t is stated that the Trust
has issued $I5,000,000 mortgage
on the plants put into the combina-
ton by the members, thus leaving
the 100000, 1000 of certificates clear
for purposes of profit.

THE VALUE OF CREAMERY TO
FARMERS.
Lexington Gazette.

We see it stated that Mr.. Smith,
of Fauquier, received from the War
renton Creamery $112.25 for the
milk of his twenty nine cows in the
month of June. We may add to
this that Mr.. Jacob ID. Grove, OF
South River district, in Augusta
county, received from the Waynes-
boro Creamery for the month OF May
for only twenty COWS, $ll1.29 nett
money, after paying for his skim
milk. The Waynesboro Creamery
paid all during the summer eighty
cents per hundred pounds for milk.
Mr.. Grove, for one year, in which
he MIXED from six to twenty cows
the average being fifteen-receiv-
ed from the Waynesboro Creamery
5000 nett. This did not include the
milk or butter used in his own fam
ily; and besides this, he had the
value of the calves that came during
the year. During the month of
May, above mentioned, his cows
were on grass.
To show the cash value to the
farmers of Augusta of a creamery
in their midst, we give the amount
paid during the just ended month
OF January, by the Waynesboro
Creamery, to some of them-the
price paid for milk being $l.10 per
100 lbs:-D. Z. Weaver (ten cows
$72.S7; 5. H. Weaver ten COWS
$62.53; G. X. Koiner, $4661; T..
Koiner, $4O.6S; C. Koiner, $47,59;
and f. c. Shanks, $47.13.
Below is the price paid at the
Waynesboro Creamery for milk per
100 pounds for the year closing,
December, 1887, the average we
think exceeding Loudoun or Eau
quier CreAmeries: December, $1.1O;
January, $l.20; February, $l.lO;
March and April, $l.05; May, 80
cents; June, July, August and Sep
TENDER, so cents; October and No
vember, 80 cents The patrons re-
ceived during the summer months
90 cents for milk enough to make
one pound of butter, which is fine
summer price for butter. AT the
separators, ten cents less per 100
pounds was paid for milk, the pa
irons receiving all their skim milk
back without cost to them.

Heifers Not Profitable.

A heifer is reekoned equal to half
a COW, but she is not worth for i'm
mediate use half as much as cow
equally good proportionately and
fully matured Their milk is not
equal in richness to that of fully
grown COW, as they use some portion
of its nutrition in building up their
own growth. Then the longer time
required to get the smaller quantity
of milk they give, is another serious
item. While the teats are short,
milking has to be done with thumb
and finger, and slowly. They are
not so likely to be stripped clean by
careless mixers, especially if they
are restless and fidgety. Still, a
heifer carefully managed is all the
time growing in value, while at least
paying her way. She is more pro-
fitable to keep than an old cow.

Barbed Wire Fences.

Inc OdIOeU Wire Ia law luA iChSS
in most States, but TO avoid dam
ages for injury to stock it must be
made visible either by board or a
slight bank of earth thrown against
it. With this precaution the dan
ger to animals is reduced to almost
nothing. Stock should, on being
taken into q pasture inclosed by
barbed wire, be led to it and their
noses be touched once or twice to
the barbs. They will need no fur
ther lessons to induce them to keep
at a respectful distance.
1t is sometimes said that the cow
is a machine for the manufacture of
milk and butter. This is true, with
some important limitations. The
COW is a living mechanism, and
therefore requires more careful man
agement than an ineensate machine
could need There Is such thing
as wearing out cows by injudiclous
feeding. Good COWS have enormous
appetites, and demand abundant and
nutritious food. But they should not
be forced or tempted to eat more
than they naturally will. While the
coarser and less palatable ration
should be given freely, yet grains
and meal must be limited. Some of
the great milk and butter records
for short periods have been made
by stimulation with food, which for
animals is almost as destructive to
health as stimulation by drink is to
men. The only correct test of COWS
is their yearly product. Another
way in which good COWS are spoiled
is by deficient nutrition during those
times when they are not giving milk.
The owner thinks that less and
poorer feed will do them, and so the
COW while bearing her calf is fed
largely on straw and becomes poor.

-Four Points in Farm Practice.
Mr.. f. Martin Smith, Delhi, n.
Y, has had forty years of successful
husbandry, from report Of which in
o. c. Farmer, We CLEAN the append
ed items of practice tested by time;
HE hauls out the manure daily and
spreads it on top of the snow in win
ter, which plan he thinks gives best
results. Places stress on the adyan-
tage of running pigs in orchards,
producing strong, healthy growth Of
pigs, and at the same time benefit
ing the trees. Has frequently saved
considerable sums by the practice
of keeping cash account in connec-
tion with his diary, in the way Of
avoiding the repayment of small &C
counts once paid, where credit had
failed to be given. Condemns the
drawing off Of small stones so closely
as is sometimes done. Believes that
on his land they are an advantage
in retaining heat and moisture in
the soil. Would not remove these
small stones from any land except
such as might be termed stony land.
Thinks 1t might pay on sidehills
when blowing the last time prepare
tory to seeding down, to follow after
she pillow and throw them in the fur
row and thus leave them below the
surface. Has practised this some
during the past few years, and is
pleased with the result.

Rev Father Lancaster of Watertown is the owner of a fine thoroughbred bull dog which he keeps tied in under his wagon while on visits to this city. Yesterday he stopped at Benedict & Burnham's office, leaving his team to be watched by the dog seedy looking individual, who evidently had good taste in the matter of dogs, hap pened along and the canine struck his fancy so much that he -un.ied the dog and tried to coax it along. The dog coaxed the wrong way, and had it not been for the agility of the seedy looking individual, the nearest doctor would have had good case. The would be tbief concluded that he didn't want the dog and proceeded to create remoteness between himself and the scene of his adventure with great neatness and dispatch.
