Cow Peas.

Mr.. L. A. Massey, prominent farm
er of Catonsville. Nd, relates his ex-
prience in the american Farmer (Bal
timore) with cow peas as pasture cror
for butter, from which we make the
following extracts:
"Late last spring / drilled in ten
acres of COW peas, intending to let the
COWS pasture them for few weeks and
then plow the balance under for wheat.
Somewhere along in August the pasture
was getting pretty short, and the butter
yield gradually decreasing, and as the
peas were making pods the cows were
turned into the pea field. At that time
the cows were making twenty one
pounds of butter per week.
"Shortly after the COWS were put in
the pea field, neighbor began taking
one and three-quarter gallons of fresh
milk daily; two Of the COWS went dry,
and third nearly SO; two more had been
milking for eight and nine months, and
were six months in calf, SO they were
on the down grade; the other two-one
a two.year-old-calved in June and
July; so the conditions were rather
against keeping up the butter yield.
"Yet, in spite of these drawbacks; the
cows, after few weeks of pea pasture,
still make the same amount of butter
twenty-one pounds per week.
"Where clover is uncertain the COW
pea will make profitable subs ltute
and with this advantage in its favor
always, that it will grow where there is
no possibility of cloYer growiuge

Weed out the Flock.

There will come in the best of focks
and the best of herds inferior animals.
They may be much better than any
scrub, and will likely be better than
the average scrub. But they occupy
the place that better animals might
occupy, and hence are not profitable.
In our focks and our herds there must
be constant watchfulness in order to
get rid of the inferior animals. They
should never be bred from, for the
very best is none too good fer breeding
purposes. Inferior stock, when used
for breeding purposes, makes the flock
or herd poorer all the time. Weed
out the old sheep, the weak sheep, the
poor feeders and the poor mothers. 1t
does not pay to keep inferior sheep in
the flock.

I saw statement in Hoard's Dairy
man that some herds were more unruly
after dehorning. but with mine and al
others about here so far as / can learn
the reverse is true. We are hoping
that after few generations of dehorn-
ed stock nature will abandon the effort
to grow these useless appendages. AS
to question whether dehorning cows
will cause abortion, cannot speak
from experience as we have not as yet

our cows are perfectly healthy We do
not apprehend any trouble from that

The Cutaway Harrow.

Among the new farm implements Of
the disc order of harrows the "cutaway"
appears to be gaining favor and prom
ises to tako the lead among harrows.
A Western Reserve Ohio farmer gives
his testimony in favor of this imple-
ment in the, Country Gentleman he
says-I have used the cutawry harrow
now two seasons on a clay soil farm.
| have no field very stony, but find that
it works much better among stones
than the disc. With the disc, the con-
caves go over the stones with slide
and "grate" that is far from pleasant
"a matter obviated with the cutaway,
as the notches in discs prevent it and
it digs about and lifts the stones in
way that think remarkable. ! have
found only one minor trouble, and that
is when stone, just the right size, gets
between two discs and becomes wedged
in so closely that I am afraid to allow
the scrapers to get it out, and SO I
pound it loose; but this is not frequent,
by any means. Since I got my cut
away I have sold my disc, as good a
one as ever made, laid away my square
40-toothed drag, put my whifie spring
tooth harrow in the back end of the
tool house, and now do the work of
pulverizing with my cutaway and
Thomas harrow, and do it rapidly and
with far less expenditure of horsefesh
than ever before.
1t will do the work of cultivator, if
| understand you to mean cultivating
corn, &c. By taking off the two end
s,which is quickly done, you can, if
your team will guide true "straddle''
a row of corn and do as fine a job as
need be, aud thoroughly; but as have
a special spring tooth double cultivator
I do not practice much. However, it
can be done, and satisfactory work ac.
complished.
SOW both oats and rye with the
cutaway. In the spring I throw the
oats upon the ground, and twice going
over the land (without plowing) puts
in the crop No. l shape. If the ground
is quite mellow, it will not do to ride
the machine. as the cutting of the six
notches into each of the discs converts
disc into genuine spading machine,
and it is liable to spade too deep.
It's most satisfactory work to me is
on the ensilage corn stubble. AS soon
as the corn is cut off, I scatter broad
cast about two bushels of rye per acre
upon the soil, "wheep' it in, finding no
trouble to put in five acres per day
alone between milkings, The way the
machine will split, dig and uproot the
corn stubble is wonder.

Deep Soil for Potatoes.

Potatoes and corn differ in one i'm
portant particular. A severe drouth
of temporary continuance, causing the
leaves of corn to wither, does not seri
ously affect the amount of the crop
while it may greatly reduce potatoes
Corn planted on inverted sod, plowed
only FIVE or six inches deep, will yield
more than on a seven or Ell eight.inch
sod. On the contrary, potatoes are
best on deep soil. We have known
subsoiling to increase the potato crop
over thirty per cent. as compared with
contiguous land not subsoiled. A row
of potatoes over filed ditch yielded
double the rows in other parts Of the
field. The roots of potatoes run deeper
than those of corn. Potatoes require a
continued supply of moisture, and a
deep soil will drink in copious rain
and give it out to the crop in time of
drouth. Those who are preparing this
autumn for the early planting OF pota-
toes, should bear in mind the two lead
ing requisites for success-maunre and
depth of soil
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1888-11-16

We observe that a writer says that
corn meal fed to excess will hasten the
ripening of cream, but that the butter
will likely be soft and oily. On the
other hand an excess of bran will retard
they ripening process, and the butter
will be crumbly.
Many farmers suppose that poor ami
mails may in short time be changed
into fat ones by stuffing them with
rich food. This is mistaken idea,
and farmers who supposed that the
more food they could get their hogs
to eat in day or a week, the faster
they would gain, bee come discouraged,
because the gain was not in proportion
to food consumed. In their disappoint.
ment they came to the conclusion that
fattening hogs did not pay, when the
true reason was they We're overfed and
excess of food was wasted.

\, CECIL COUNTY, Md, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 49, 1888

The cheapest, most profitable pork
is made from spring pig summered on
pasture. mostly red clover, and fattened
for market in the fall on mostly corn /;
and if the spring pig is March pig,
there is something wrong with your
management if you do not make all the
profit there is to be made out Of the
pork. For the first six months the hog
wants to do as Topsy did-just grow (;
and to do that it must have food rich
in protein, as clover is. The more
skim milk and bran.and- -oats Cruel you
can get it to take before clover comes,
the better for the pig and for you. AS
pasture fails, give it what corn it needs,
and get it on full feed of corn by
Sept. Is to Oct. l, and keep it there
until it is ready for market; but all the
time give it other stuff with the corn
pumpkins, turnips, potatoes. apples
green fodder corn, &c. Feeding all
corn is never profitable, even though
such feeding does not produce a bloom
case of the "cholera," as it is apt to do.
An animal does best on variety Of
food. Corn is not a complete ration
for any animal for any purpose, not
even for fattening hogs.

Scotch Collies.

From experience with my own and
neighbors' Scotch collies, I would say
that nearly always they are very
amiable, but must not be ''fooled with" !"
and | have known OF two that were al
most vicious. | know of Scotch collies
so trained that they will not allow
strangers to drive the farm animals
unless the owner is along or the dog is
told to 60 with the stranger. My
brother had until year ago (when
some mean VILLAIN poisoned the dog) a
collie trained to stay iu the pasture
with the animals during the day. Now
any person not known to the dog, es-
pecially if he were accompanied by a
cur, who attempted to disturb the ami
mails, would, if he persisted, conclude
the dog was vicious. The dog would
try to lead him away, but if that did
not succeed, would use severe measures.
My brother has piece of timber land
two miles from his house. The dog
would take the cattle and hogs to this
pasture in the morning, stay with them
all day, and bring them up at night.
The school children learned not to
tease the dog or the animals but a
person who attended to his business
would net have reason to think the dog
vicious. Much depends on the early
training of the collie, SO far as his dis.
position is concerned. Be careful to
get pure-bred collie. Collie blood
docs not mix we'll with other bloods'
Half collie and half cur makes the
worst sheep dog in existence. Alloyed
collie is apt to be worthless or vicious.
But the intelligence, amiability and
fidelity Of the pure Scotch collie, right
ly trained, are truly remarkable. Such
dog will know every animal that be-
longs on the premises. 1t will observe
if an animal is out of place. 1t is a
watchful guardian at night. 1t loves
children, and will enjoy any amount Of
decent play with children it knows,
and will protect them at the cost of its
life. One instance comes to mind: A
few years ago a neighbor's young
daughter, alone in rather isolated
farm house, was attacked by burly
tramp. Her cries reached only the
Scotch collie, in a field near by, and
but for the dog she would have suffered
fate worse than death. He attacked
the tramp so savagely that the scoun-
drel was compelled to give his exer-
tions to the dog. He tried to kill the
dog, and almost succeeded, hut the
faithful animal kept up the fight, and
finally the tramp fled. That dog GER
tainly deserves good grub, blanket,
and monument.
