does, yet these carloads await buyers
at almost any price, while often the de-
mand for good butter can not be met.
To paraphrase the lines of the Ancient
Mariner: Butter, butter everywhere, but
not an ounce to eat. i wish to assure
Mr.. Davis and your readers that my sole
desire is to learn from the mass of data
collected by Mr.. Jennings, and kindly
placed at my disposal by him, all l can
which may help to throw light apon
the dairy industry and aid in making it
more and more profitable. / shall not
attempt to distort any of this data or
unfairly present it in order to establish
any hobby of my own in the matter,
for l have none, so far as / know; and
| hope Mr.. Davis and others will con-
tinue to criticise what may say-not
in order to succeed in tripping any sup
posed antagonist, but to bring out the
points clearly. That 1 have not as yet
exhausted the matter of this 4" Cow
Census" would say that fuller in
vestigation of the data fails to show
any profit in feeding grain, as partial
review seemed to establish; but this
should not be taken as evidence that
the feeding of grain is not to be recon-
mended as profitable, only that the data
collected by Mr.. Jennings does not APP
pear to establish either its wisdom or
profit.
l would refer your readers to paper
presented by me before the Holsten-
Friesian Association at its last an
nual meeting and published in its
proceedings, in which l have presented
somewhat fully the several points of
practical interest, for which this " Cow
Census " furnishes the data.
All claim is that Mr.. Davis should
admit that an honest purpose and a
reasonable degree of intelligence has
been exercised in discussing these data,
and he will find that most, if not all
the points he has raised in criticism
have been anticipated by me in the
paper to which / call attention, and |
would only say here that he may pre-
pare himself for surprise at learning
that the costs of keeping of cows
whether grades or natives, bears ap.
parently no relation whatever to the
average earnings. PETER COLLIER.

Talks on Farm TOpics-.-NO. 2.

To everything there is a season, and
the early spring is the time for the
seedsmen's catalogues. l well remem-
Der the first seed catalogues l ever saw.
One was Henderson's, and the contrast
between the plain, cheap catalogue of
twenty years ago with d" Everything for
the Garden" of this year is most
striking. Most of the ANIMALS of the
seed-dealers are bewildering-so many
things and so many kinds it makes
ones head ache to try to decide what
to get-and ii is real relief to get
catalogue that is brief, simple, plain,
right to the point. Then, too, when
one up here in Vermont sends to deal
ers further south or west, he may get
northern-grown seeds or he may not,
and it is much better to buy seeds that
one knOWS are grown in the north.
There certainly is no need of any of
our people going to the stores to buy
seeds. Such seeds may be good; too
often they are disappointment to the
one who plants them. The greatest
trouble about kitchen garden is that
after you get it nicely started the farm
work drives so that the garden is neg
lCClcu. l. ldulluS III lOuS IOWS III Iuc
field is a good way, only the busy farm
er's wife does not want to go far to get
vegetables for dinner. Where there
are children to help, or many hands to
make light work of such jobs, the gar
den may be source of pleasure, in
struction and profit. A weedy, neg
lected garden is an eye-sore, and one
had almost rather have no garden than
to see rank weeds and stunted vege-
tables. There is one vegetable, how
ever, which can be grown by almost
any one, no matter how busy he may
be. 1t does not have to be sown, but
the roots live through the winter, start
ing early in the spring. Hence it is
ready to use before almost any other
garden vegetable. The hens can not
scratch it up; the more they scratch
about it the better. If kept free from
weeds in the spring, it can not be
choked by them while the farmer is
busy in the bayfield, and elsewhere.
Give it plenty of manure, divide the
roots occasionally and you can grow
rhubarb more easily than any other
garden vegetable. 1t is healthful, too,
and can be prepared for the table in
many appetizing ways. 1t is more easily
put up for winter use than almost any
other vegetable. The wonder is that
farmers do not more generally raise it,
and lots of it, especially as it is so easily
prepared for use. PLowMAN.

Notes by the Way.

THE farmer or gardener who has
variety of peas that suit him in grow
ing well, in yielding bountiful crops of
large, well-filled pods, and which is
early enough for his market, will do
well to SOW few rows expressly for
seed, and to allow none to be picked
from them.
THERE is no reason why our eastern
farmers should go West form elbow
room. Their great drawback is not
the want of more land; it is the pos
session of too much land. Every acre
should be made to contribute to the
net income of the farm. Otherwise it
is a source of loss.
DRIED corn fodder may be all right
in theory, but there is TOO much labor
and loss in practice. 1t is easier to
raise and store 1000 bushels of roots
than to raise and thoroughly dry and
secure two acres of corn-fodder, and
there is much less risk in the root
CROP" says a writer. Has he ever tried
ensilage?
A MINNESOTA farmer says The
same team will haul twelve hundred of
brick with greater ease and less eX-
haustion on wagon having three
inch tire than it can pull ten hun
dred brick on the ordinary narrow
tread wagon. The road on which l
did my hauling was smooth, hard sur
face dirt road"
SOME of the most important crops
grown are those that are seeded after
the summer opens. While certain
plants may require the cooler weather
of spring, with plenty of time for
growth, any failure of the crops seeded
in the spring does not necessarily cause
loss of the whole season, as some of
the most profitable crops grown are put
in as late as July.

The Best Harrow.

A correspondent asks; " Is there any
best harrow for all purposes?" Well,
no; at least we prefer to have more than
one kind-and in fact we have n use
five different kinds of modern inven-
ton and make. Among them is a six
teen inch disk harrow that our hired
men have thought a great deal of.
They have also used the Acme; and of
course we have Thomas smoothing

the old shape with steel teeth, an A :"

can always adapt themselves to the
situation. One day they can enjoy q

Ex-PREsIDENT HAYS spoke thus of
the Jury System, at Nashville, Ten
ness the other day:
Referring to the jury system MIR.
Hayes spoke particularly of the tech
nicality that no man can sit on jury
who reads the newspapers. Already
this had been expunged in some
states and rational rule taken its
place. 1t would be far more reason
able, he said, to exclude from the
iuries men who do not read the news
papers and who do not form or ex-
press opinions from what they read.
Ignorance, not intelligence, should be
shut out from the jury box. Another
example of the unreason in our jury
system is the unanimous jury" Ii
fiye-sixths of jury, or three-fourths
agree upon verdict of guilty and, if
the presiding judge approves the yer
dict, why shall it not stand? Under
our republican system the gravest
questions are decided finally by q
majority vote of the citizens, and these
reforms depend on the popular iudg
ment and popular will
