CuItipp Fodder for sheen.

Sheep are fond of fine, soft heritage,
and, as is known, will pick oil the leaves
and fine branches of the best cured
clover leaving the body of the stock
uueaten. And of corn fodder they never
eat more than the leaves, tassels, etc.
They pick over straw, but eat only the
chatf and fine parts. But when hay is run
through n cutter and cut very fine, they
Will eat IT quite clean. Even straw cut
fine. will be mostly eaten by sheep. In
"A large experience in cutting fodder We
have found the saving in cutting for
sheep even greater than cattle. When
the fodder is cut it is easy to mix with it
ground feed or grain, and the sheep
Will then eat the cut fodder and grain
together, insur ng remast cation OF the
grain and it's digestion and assimilation
In fattening of sheep, cutting the coarse
fodder will be found very advantageous;
first, because much fodder Will be saved
and the grain better utilized; second.
because the sheep can safely be crowded
in fattening, without danger of disease,
when the grain is always eaten with
coarse fodder. When sheep are fed
heavily with grain alone, it is not rsised
and remastieated, and sometimes Is
likely to produce fever in the stomach;
but when the grain is eaten with cut
fodder 1t lies light and porous IN the
stomach, and is we'll acted upon by the
gastric juice, which can circulate freely
through the mass; the food is then
readily digested, and passes through
the system without creating any irrita-
ton. AS coarse fodder is raised and re-
masticated. the grain mixed with it is
also raised and remasticated. Using
short cut coarse fodder makes 1t most
convenient to feed great variety of
food that sheep are very fond of-corn,
oats, middlings, oil cake, peas, un-
marketable beans, barley, etc. We have
no doubt that cutting feed pays for all
our farm stock, when feeding is carried
on upon n considerable scale, for
then the cutting will be done with
ample power, which enables two tons of
fodder to be cut per hour, but with only
a few animals it is likely to cost more

in it. The supposed worm seen on cut

the tendons, which are white cords of
the thickness of knitting needle. The
trouble may be caused by an injury, as
one COW treading upon the other, or by
exposure to severe cold and partial
freezing, or by the effects of smutty or

READING, Pa, July l5.-An unusually
heavy rain storm prevailed early this
morning throughout the Lebanon w
lev. 4 number of creeks overlooked
their banks. Hundreds of fields were
submerged and the crops which
had been cut and lett ~
ing in the fields were washed
away. At the towns of Avon, Myers
town and Lebanon, the water flowed
into the lower floors Of number OF
houses, and many occupants lost their
household effects. at noon to-day the
Schuvlkill River ct Reading was seven
feet above low-water mark, and at
Spring CITY, eleven feet.
LANCASTER, Pa., July l5.-The storm
of Saturday and Sunday nights IN the
northern part of Lancaster County were
The heaviest in years. At Long HON.

were carried away, and in Elizabeth
township five bridges were destroyed.
A large amount of fencing and growing
CROPS were swept away. The creeks

Scientific breeding.


When we consider that all the various
breeds of cattle, and all the best speci-
mems of the breeds have been developed
and brought down from the same com
mon ancestry, we are ready to acknoWl-
edge the powerful influence of care, of
feed of science in breeding, and de-
veloping a farm animal. Hence it may
be seen that true, scientific, skillful
breeding is like clay in the hands of
the potter: For we should bear in mind
that the ponderous draft horse and the
small Shetland pony have been bred
and developed from the same far back
common ancestry. This is equally true
OF catt.e, sheep, swine, and poultry. In
the present century more real progress
and Improvement has been accom-
plished than III all previous centuries.
In the horse department the great per-
formers on the turf have deccnded from
two or three distinguished families. In
the first decade of this century only two
horses had record under three min
utes. In the last decade Go have been
admitted to the 2:30 class. Has this
been accomplished by pedigree alone,
or rather has it not been done by a
judicious combination of pedigree. feed,
care, and performance by the scisatltic
mating OF ,Ae very best performers,
both on the side of sire and dam?
Hence the vital importance of intelli-
gent, scientific breeding; or breeding
for purpose. Two bodies of equal
weight, set in motion on the same line,
the one with the greater velocity over
taking the ether, is hindered in it's
speed by contact with the slower body.
Equally true is it with coupling su-
perior animal, made so by actual per-
Torrance, skill, care, feeding, and
breeding, with an inferior animal, made
so, it may be, by neglect in care, feed,
and breeding. The result must of
necessity come far short of possible
success. As increased velocity pro-
duces stronger momentum, so an animal,
backed by the momentum of skilful and
faultless pedigree and brilliant per-
Torrance, coupled with his equal, must
produce highly successful results

uppermost, and any unknown noise is
imagined to be a coming hurt, to escape
which is an uncomfortable impulse.
Forgetting that temper is the valuable
quality of the horse-its owner tries to
break" its temper-to COW the animal.
The horse should be trained, not broken;
and training requiring tirmness mixed
with much kindness. AS abuse will
make it cowardly, so kindness will make
it courageous The basis of courage Is
confidence, and the first point is to Sc
cure confidence of the colt. The next
is to make the colt sure of his surround
ings. If he has confidence in his trainer
this will not be difficult. If he shes at
a stump or rock, ride or drive him up
to it. Drive him nearer and nearer to
the cars until he is no longer afraid of
them. Have the whistle sounded when
his head is turned toward it, and repeat
this till he ceases to start at the sound.
Handle his limbs and touch them with
a strap until he no longer shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one with
the spirit trained, not broken, is the
horse that does the most work. Among
horses, it is the one with trained spirit
with fine temper, that does the least
harm, the most work and IN danger acts
quickly and intelligently. Exchange.

Renovated Butter.

Another matter that amounts to rea-
sonable sized fraud is one that butter
makers themselves can pretty nearly
drive out of existence, if they will, and
Is the utter-renovating" business. 1t
can only thrive where the market is be-
ing Hooded with butter made so poor
that no one will buy it, and is sold from
hVe TO seven cents per pound for grease
smaller stock of long keeping" butter
butter that has been made to keep,
and has so nearly fulfilled the desire of
the maker that 1t kept itself wholly out
OF the market-goes with this first, and
the hole is pure based by renoyators,
who melt, clarity, and deodorize it with
chemicals churnlng the butter oil in
sweet milk; graduated, colored with
butter-oll color, and put upon the mar
ket as fine dairy butter. Why should
not the dalrymen stop putting good ma
terIals into poor butter, and selling it
Tor beIow-cost price; make good butter
that sells for butter, not grease-price.
and at once stop two-thirds ut lea st, of
tins renoyating business? 1t can only
flourish upon the ill advised economy
OF dalrymen who will persist in cIinrinp
to old ways, methods, and prices, and so
give the renovators chance to earn n
profitable living that rightfully belongs
TO the dalryman; and, besides. would
shut out feature in dairving that, as n
fraud, Is little short of making and dis
posing OF oleomargarine for genuine

THE DAIRY.
Dairy Diuts,

The testimony accumulates that il is
better to feed milch COWS but twice per
day, as it is alleged that well-fed COWS
can put in their time resting and re-
masticating their food more protitably
than to spend it in any other way. The
man who thinks a COW ought to be can
tering all over a halfbare pasture to
get livelihood doubtless does not be-
Hcve the above.
If man owns high priced, valuable
lands, that will grow corn, he need not
worry himself much whether his farm
is naturally adapted to grazing, or grow
ing grass, or not. The land that will
grow corn we'll Will also grow clover,
rye, barley, and oats; and with them the
farmer is in condition to make milk,
cheese, and butter cheaper per pound
than can be done on the pastures, on
lands worth $40 per acre or more. Two
oOo-pound COWS can be fed all the forage
needed for a whole year, and it Will
grow on an acre, if highly fertilized
and planted with corn. Where are the
pastures, permanent or otherwise,
that ever did or ever will do that?
1t is a successful way of managing the
creamery business to have a branch fac
tory few miles away from the main
one, at a good shipping point, and only
have a small building, separator, and
three or four horse power steam en-
gIne to operate it, and then take the
cream to the main factory to be churned.
The farmers can thus have the benefit
OF the cooperative system at points
where it would not pay to build large
factory.
There are inquiring persons who are
inclined to change the time of year Cor
the production of most milk in winter,
and yet who arc at loss to know the
most feasible way to get their cows into
seasonable mixers, whether to quickly
breed those that come in in the early
spring, or fail to breed any until about
Dec. |, and feed we'll and milk the far
row herd meantime. The latter course,
We believe, is being adopted mostly by
those who seek to change from summer
to winter dairying. 1t is well, also, for
such farmer to keep an eye out for
good cows that are fresh, and are for
sale IN the fall, and either increase his
herd thus, or take the opportunity to
weed out poor cows, if he has them
