Making the Cow

The treatment that the heifer re-
ceives the first year after she has calf
largely determines her value as a milk
cow. And many young heifer that
with good management might have de-
veloped into good milk cow is practi-
cally ruined. 1t costs nearly, if not
quite. as much to keep COW that gives
only small quantity of milk, and gives
that only about six months i'm the year.
as it does one that will give a liSerai
quantity of milk nearly or quite the
year round. One of the first and most
important items in the management is
kindness; get her gentle so that she can
be handled. Most of the difficulty comes
through fear, and once she thoroughly
understands that no harm is intended
her, she can be handled with very little
trouble.
1t will be a very good plan to allow
the calf to suck the first year rather
than to take it off and feed. The calf
will aid to develop the udder and the
teats. 1t will help in this respect to
knead the udder. with the hands doing
the work carefully so as not tohurt her.

study of the natural sciences is almost

study of the natural sciences Is almost
entirely and IN many cases quite ig
nored, says the Maine Farmer. Public
attention has been from time to
time called to the matter, and the
defects OF our system, or rather
lack OF system, dwelt upon, but with
out enlisting public attention. Particu-
Iarly has it been claimed that i'm farm
ing community, where the scholars are
constantly surrounded by works of
nature in their myriad forms, the ell !,
mentS OF the sciences relating to agri-
culture should claim a share of atten-
ton in the common schools. But pub
lie teachers obey the demands of those
public opinion. Any radical change
must come from the parents or
the children of the schools, So the schOl-
airs must go on grinding over their
arithmetic, algebra and geography of
take to the Greek or Latin, as so many
or them do. and the natural sciences re-
main unknown. Il is altogether proba-
bic that more students would find their
tastes leading them to the colleges Of
agriculture were their attention di-
rected in these channels in their earlier
years.
To make this desirable change, the
PN'BiNf ihOiO tbol tiiC CoQN0IOlS,
demand it. And to even make start,
text books must be available for use by
the school. The Somerset Pomona
grange, under the lead of two prOmi-
nent farmer-e6ucatOrs, Prof. l. 0. Wins
low and NJ. l.. Merrill, both of st. AL
bans. have taken hold of this problem in
earnest and with a full comprehension
of what is needed in the matter.
The matter has been under con-
slderatiOn at several of their meet
lngs III the county, and resulted in their
bringing it before the state grange at
Belfast for broader effect and further
action. Prof. WinslOw is the superin-
tendent of schools in the town of st.
Adams, but he realizes that however
much of interest may be awakened he,
or any one else, cannot put the elemen-
tary study of agriculture into the schools
without books for teaching it. So, while
cultlyatlng public sentiment t, textbooks
must be provided. The matter was re-
ferred to tie committee on agriculture,
who subsequently made the excellent
report published. and further moved the
raising Of committee of three to pursue
the matter and take measures to pro-
cure, if possible, the publication of suit
able text books, that one branch of
study at least pursued at school shall

OF farming. The matter met the cordial
response of the state grange, and Prof.
|. D. WinslOw. of st. Adams: q. A.
Gilbert, North Greene, and e. Ii.
Gregory, Bangor, were appointed, and
took measures to carry on the work.
This movement is All important one,
and the parties backing it UP no doubt
mean business. While starting here in
this state it should take wider range,
and receive the attention and the CO
operation of other state oranges as well.
1t is a matter too long overlooked; and
those directly concerned. it should be
pushed with energy wherever there are
children on the farm to educate. Shall
we have agriculture in the common
schools? Who seconds the motion?

MAXIMS FOR MIXERS,
Gathered by Missouri Farmer foI
the st. Louis Republic.


A cow is very much like barrel or a
pantry; you must first put in something
before you can take something out.
A mich COW should have all the feed
she can digest and assimilate.
If you find cake in the bag of COW 1t
is incipient garget; milk her as clean as
possible and battle the udder with hot
water applied with large cloth and
hold the same to the udder, especially
to part affected, for thirty seconds
at a time. If at the next milking a
stringy substance comes with the milk
draw it out; this is not pus, but cheese :;
not hurtful to the milk. as it will catch
in the strainer. Repeat if necessary.
Always have Strainer-pail and also
an independent strainer; they ought not
to be necessary, but hayseed or q
piece of straw or a hair may come in
even when the utmost care is used. At
our house we use Strainer cloth, be-
sides the two Strainers mentioned, and
it does approved service.
If COW is inclined to be restive-as
in fly time-seat yourself so as to have
the left forearm nearly against the
it there. If you milk one fore and one
hind teat and have a firm hold she can
not possibly upset your pail Of milk nor
injure the mixer.
Always milk your cows in exact 70
tation, and If more than one mixer is
engaged, let each mixer attend to the
same cows. Frequent changes in this
respect act against copious yield of
milk.
In the heat of summer a clean, we'll
ventilated shed, which can be made
dark, is desirable place In which to do
the milking. If necessary, very thin
cotton cloth, large like horse blanket,
can be thrown over the cows to protect
them from the flies and mosquitoes, and
thus both animal and man will enjoy
peace and comfort. g. W. NJ.

Seed the Acre.

A good authority makes the following
statement as to the quantity of seed
necessary to sow on an acre of land ::
Wheat, broadcast, from a bushel and
three pecks totwo bushels: bushel and
half is enough sOwn in drill. Rye same
as wheat. Barley, two bushels and a half
broadcast. two bushels in drill. Oats,
from two to three bushels. broadcast,
two bushels In drill. Buckwheat, one
bushel. Corn, in hill, about a gallon
and half. Sorghum, from two to
three quarts. Timothy grass, sown in
fall, to be followed by clover in spring,
from one and half to two gallons.
Red clover, to be sown in spring on
tiD0thy, one and half to two gallons;
sown by itself, double the above guam
tity.
Red-top grass, one and half to two
bushels; bushel is fourteen pounds by
weight. Kentucky bluegrass same as
red-top. Orchard grass, same as red
top. German miliet, from three
pecks to busbel. Turnips aud
rutabagas, one pound. Go guard
against insects, two pounds
would he better), Irish potatoes,
from seven to ten bushels when planted
whole. 1t should be added that the
foregoing is only rough estimate, in
tended to be of service in making cal
culations as to the quantities of seed
required to put in our crops. Local
circumstances may make considerable
deviation necessary in some Instances.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27.--Wheat opened trifie
easier, with no important news at hand.
There was quite n little selling the first few
minutes TO start break. II started but lac,
when very suddenly the offerings in the pit
ceased largely. Mr.. Pardridge hustled his
broker in TO cover some short wheat, and he
succeeded in getting over 5uO,uu0 Blu for
May before the advance set in. About this
time Soul had adviees from Michigan can
ceiling orders 10 sell. as the winter wheat
was found to be badly damaged. The thir
teen boat loads for expectation at New York,
IN doubt last night, W re confirmed this
morning. The cold weather still prevailed
over Kansas. Nebraska and Missouri besides
extreme cold in the Northwest. This made
many fear that the hard freeze might any
hour begin in Illinois and other states further
east, Minneapolis reported better de-
mand for cash wheat for the United Kingdom.
New York dispatches said that the buyers of
cash wheat for export were working mys-
teriously. Clarke wired that 500. 900 bu of
No. 2 red and choice wheat had been taken
for export in three days. Still later the flour
exports from New York. Boston and Balti-
more were wired. They reached 10000
packages from the three ports-the largest of
the year. All these Influences combined to
give the market good lift. and hold it strong
and active. May sold 77lac 10 77ssc. TO 17ls
G77I2c 10 7Sh@7SBsc, to 7Se to 7s$8@7sl2c,
TO 7slsc to 7S14c at l o'clock. JIne sold up
to 7sIsc, and July TO 7Ul2c. The best buy
ers Of the day were Partridge, early, Hutch
inson, Chandler-Browp and Lamson
Bros, followed by the crowd. G. G.
Moore d Co., Parker d Co., and
L. Everingham & Co. were early
sellers, while Lindbloom, Cottrell and others
sold on the advance. Mr.. Partridge tried to
break the market again by selling heavily
around 7Ssse, but the crowd took his wheat
and wanted more. The bears failed to bring
about n break in wheat before the close. A
dispatch from Philadelphia reported the en-
tire stock of wheat there taken for export.
On this the price here closed at about the top
for the day, and i2Q24c higher than yester-
day. Receipts. d cars wheat, 3l3 corn and
102 cars oats; shipments, 2S,Sl4 hu wheat,
210,2S9 bu corn and 239, 80 bu oats. Corn

Gov. Bracket, of Massachusetts, in
his inaugural message to the legislature
the other day, was emphatic in warning
the farmers of the old Bay state of the
necessity for taking prompt and effect
i've measures for securing the speedy
determination of new imported insect
pest, which, it is feared, may prove as
disastrous to the agricultural interests
of the country as the Colorado beetle
has been. 1t is theigypsy moth-ocure-
ria dispar-which, it is charged, ha

THE ROLsTEIN COW.
What She Will Produce, as Found

by Writer in the Prairie Far.
mer.
The productions of the Holstein COW
are many and profitable to the owner.
She will produce calves which, If we'll
fed, will weigh from 900 to LOO pounds
at twelve months old. If properly fed
and cared for she will produce, yearly,
from 5000 to 1900 pounds or more of
good rich milk. This milk. if sold at re-
tail in towns, would bring from SLIGO to
s275.
She will produce yearly 800 to $50
pounds or more of butter, which, at 25
cents per pound, the present price of
choice butter at Chicago, would bring
$50 to s12O. The skim milk from such a
COW fed to pigs and calves will pay for
keep of cow.
She will produce yearly 800 to 1000
pounds or more of the finest cheese.
This cheese will sell for from SIS to
Si20. She will furnish an abundance of
slop for ten pigs. She will raise three
calves in good shape on her skim milk.
She will produce yearly enough manure,
if properly utilized, to enrich one acre
of land, which will increase the crop
yield from 20 to 80 per cent for the year
The Holstein COW is not only liberal
producer. but also an economical con-
sumner and lover of all kinds of
wholesome food. She is a living milk
ing machine, and will consume with q
relish all kinds of grass, hay, fodder,
grain, roots. ETC., all of which she will
utilize in the production of milk to the
best possible advantage. Thisi ST not
all. She is also a beef-producing ma
