GRADING UT.

The average yield Of the milch
COW is so small compared with what
it should be as to make it surpris-
ing that dairymen succeed at all;
but their success Is not from tho
milk sold, but from the manure
made and increased fertility Of the
farms. This annual increase of val
ue may not be apparent, but it is
demonstrated i'll few years, as the
cows NOT only produce milk to be
sold, bat contribute to the growth
Of crops. The course of the dairy
men is their failure to recognize the
fact that ti.ey must raise their cows
and breed for the best suited for
yielding milk, instead Of attending
sales to purchase cows and selling
off their calves. Many farmers will
not believe that individual COWS of
the best milking strains have yield
ed over forty quarts OF milk per day,
yet it is true, as is we'll known with
the Holsteins, and it is admitted that
but few COWS will produce 80 large
ly, but the fact that we'll bred COWS
can be made to perform such ser
vice should stimulate the dairymen
to discard all animals but pure
breeds or grades.
Dairymen would make large prof.
it's if each COW in the herdg should
yield twenty quarts of milk per day
during her milking period, as the
average is not one-half that in
d;iries, and yet the herd can be made
to give twenty quarts per COW by
careful breeding and judicious man
agement. But if only fifteen quarts
should be obtained it would amount
to large difference for herd in
year, compared with the quantity
got from mongrel cows. Large
yields permit of the keeping of
fewer cows to Obtain the same re-
suits as from former yields, while
the care and work are lessened. :.
The milk business is laborious call
ing-work from early in the morn
ing until into the night, with no
cessation on Sundays, and the only
way to be amply rewarded is to
grade up the herd by the use Of
pure bred males.-Philadelphia Rec
ord.

The protracted use of the milk
tube in some instances in ares the
COWS teats.
When buying thermometer do
not ask for cheap one, but get a
reliable one.
Every churn has a certain speed
at which 1t works best. Find it cut
and then churn with ''steady"
motion.
Keep the calves growing Justify.
Teach them to eat oats at an early
age. A calf will never get fully
over the bad effects Of having been
stunted and starved through even a
comparatively short period Of its
life.
The MARBLES, or punches on the
backs Of the cattle, may be killed by
puncturing them through the en-
trance hole with an awl, or by syr-
inging in few drops Of carbolic
acid slightly diluted. If let alone
each grub will make another gadAy,
to torment the cattle the next sum-
mer.
A scrub cow requires the same
feed and the same care that
thoroughbred does, and while there
are some good millers among them,
the majority do not pay for their
keeping, and the dairyman who en-
ploys them, now that the improved
breeds are so reasonable i'll price and
so much more profitable, is a long
way hehind the times.

when there were only paper towns

WAS sufficient excuse for building
business shanties, but now that Da-
kota is no longer an experiment, and
Oalzes is assuredly one Of the lead

business blocks will doubtless be
constructed with this fact in view.

Several days age dealer in oysters in
this city received a call from an indi-
Vidual who announced that he had been
appointed delegate to come in from a
village about fifteen miles away and see
about getting oysters for church festival
How many cans would you want?"
asked the dealer.
We'll, you may give me figures on
twenty cans.
The lowest price was given him and he
took his leave, but in about fifteen
minutes he came back and said:
"1ve been thinking it all over We
shall have at least 200 people to feed, and
you'd better give me figures on forty
cans.
A price was made, and after doing some
figuring on his own account he observed:
"Come to figure upon the crowd I think
we can count upon at least 800 Nobody
out our way has had any oysters yet, and
everybody will expect to fill right up to
the brim. Let's figure on sixty cans ;"
A price was made on this number, and
he started for home, promising to send in
an order within three or four days. The
order was received yesterday. 1t read:
81 never had nothing to do with a
church festival before, and so, of course
was liable to make mistake Inclosed
find money to pay for two cans, which
are to be sent by the stage driver. One
of the cans is for me, and the other for
the festival No more at preSent-good-
bye.

A young man, a student in Bedouin college,
writes to ask ''if special course of study is
necessary to perfect a young man in political
arguments" Oh, no; one easy lesson is all
you want. For instance, to say "Greve Cleve-
land" is knock down Republican argument,
and to say "Jim Blaine" is an unanswerabie
Democratic argument ''Old Bill Evarts' is
a "chain of invulnerable logic" and ''Old
Tom Bayard" is 'scathing arraignment Of
the administration. To say sc. o. P" is ga
resistless torrent of matchless eloquence,n
and to say ''snivel service reform" is "a pitt
less thrust of brilliant and merciless sarcasm"
Just attend a few meetings and then read the
reports in the papers, son, and you'll soon
perfect yourself in political argument. -

Planting Tree, in Bedrock.
sacramento (Cai.N Bee.


Some sixteen years ago Mr.. Rutter be-
gan the planting of trees over holes bored
in the so-called bedrock, or hardpan,
and the success of his experiments has led
to more or less general adoption in that
district of the plan of breaking up the bed
rock for orchard planting Boring and
blasting are often employed together, to
secure not only drainage, but also the &C
cess of the tree roots to the rich store of
nutriment in the once despised hardpan
But the expense of planting in this
manner is considerable The cost of
boring and blasting, added to that of
trees, prevents many poor men from avail
ing themselves of the advantages of "bed.
rock holes So planting still goes On
over the unbroken bedrock. While there
are numerous thrifty orchards so planted,
the benefits Of perforating and breaking
up the lower strata are so great that any
method which will bring these advant-
ages within the reach of men of limited
means must prove an invaluable boon.
