FARM AND GARDEN NOTES,

Cows never thrive well when compelled
to live on the east wind.
/ A COW, to do her best, must be Just as
contented and happy as it is possible to
make her.
A good dairy COW is wonderfully
delicate and sensitive piece of animal
machinery. Take care of her.
Asking a COW to give a good flow of
milk from dry straw as food, even with
December pasture added, is like expect
ing figs from thistles.
A farmer deeply impressed with the
idea that his business is the poorest in the
world will never learn his calling, nor
will he be likely to get much profit from
it.
Don't think that any ''poultry pow
ders" or any "egg food" in creation will
make your hens lay unless they have
proper food, comfortable quarters and
good care besides.
If you invest in pig don't hunt for
the cheapest, scrawniest beast you can
find, but get a good article, one that will
be a constant delight to watch as it feeds
and develops.
Where the milking is done in feeding
stable the drops should be cleaned and
thoroughly busted with plaster before
each milking. Its odor absorbing quality
is of great use to the daIrymen.
Corn ground cob gives satisfactory re-
suits to many dairymen who have tried
the plan. The cob, besides containing
some nutriment, renders the grain more
digestible and easier assimilated.
To feed too much is waste, because
stock do not relish eating food that they
have picked over. To fed too little is a
waste, because the gain that it is possible
to realize both with the stock and from
the feed is lost.
Rich mellow cheese can never be pro-
duced from skinned milk, despite the
most delicate manipulations of a skilled
manufacturer. Cheese without its natural
quota of butter-fat is devoid of its
most essential recommendation.
Stable manure is "complete fertilizer"
in the sense that expression is generally
used; that is, it contains all the elements
required for plant nutrition. If there
were plenty of good manure available
and convenient, there would be but little
necessity for purchasing single pound
of commercial fertilizer.
Many make mistake in the manage
ment of sheep in not providing them
with good shelter during the winter.
The difference in the growth of wool and
the quality between sheep that have been
kept under comfortable shelter all
winter, and those that are exposed, often
makes the difference of a profit or loss.

A Bath.Tub 5000 Years Old.

The care with which the excavations
have been carriedlon in ana around the
ruins in Greece is strangely illustrated by
the fact that in tthe bathroom, in its
place where it had actually been used,
was found portion of an earthenware
tub made of thick terra-cotta; and here
let DIR. Dorpfeld, Schliemann's co-work
er, speak of its discovery. ats form
agreed PRETTY nearly with that of our
bathing tnbs. 1t was furnished with a
thick upper rim, and with strong handles
on the sides, and it was painted within
with spiral ornament" In fact it was
one of the "well-polished bathing tubs
often mentioned by Homer" And yet,
if the argument be good, and that Tiryns
was destroyed at the date mentioned,
thls,bathing tub must have lain there for
some 1000 years, so carefully does the
earth preserve records of the past for the
patient worker who carefully knows how
to set about discovering them, m,-NeN

CARE OF SHEEP.

Sheep require excellent care and most
ludlcious management in a mild winter.
Dampness is most prejudicial to them.
The wool saturated with wet chills the
skin by the evaporation of the moisture.
and this produces trouble with the lungs.
Bronchitis, catarrh and pneumonia pre-
vail unless the utmost care is taken to
provide roomy and dry shelter. Crowd
ing is extremely unhealthful. 1t ruins
the wool by causing it to felt and mat /;
this is called "cotting," " and renders the
fleece unstable, besides heating the sheep
and making them susceptible to chills
Rooniv quarters, well drained. and kent
clean, with abundant dry litter, are in
dispensable. 1t is better to make two
hocks than crowd one. If the yards are
muddy tie ground should be scraped and
channels made to carry off the rain and
keep the surface as dry as possible. Ewes
with young lambs are best kept on a
barn floor if a suitable building has not
been provided for them. In regard to
feeding, one point is of special impor-
tance, which is to give some laxative food,
as hnseed-oil meal, to avoid dangerous
costiveness.-Ne,o York Times.

QUILTING MILCH STOCK.

We all know what to do with the culls
OF vegetables, fruit or any market crops.
We never put them in the cellar or barn
to hold over, but dispose of them at once.
And so in the management of our stock,
should we hesitate in disposing of any
animal that does not in some way afford
us pro6t2 OF course we have more
liking for an animal we raise than for a
boughten one; still kindness to COW
means reciprocity on her part, and she
should be kind to us at the pail. If we
mean to make a success of the dairy we
must sacrifice our inclination somewhat.
My experience, says a writer in the New
England Farmer, teaches me that about
three out of five heifers prove tirst-class
cows, and l keep the other two no longer
than 1t takes me to dispose of them.
Looks, behavior, being of my raising,
don't enter into the contest. Is she profit
able to keep?
Then, too, another idea: If I raise four
or five calves each year, would become
overstocked in time, so enter the market
as a seller, and when the COW reaches the
age Of ten or eleven years she has to walk
the plank, for I'd rather sell COW with
three or four years wear in her than keep
till she will bring only dozen dollars or
SO; fifty dollars at ten years old is better.
Another fine point is what limit is there
in the feed of a COW. If you are going
to keep your cows till ten years old you
don't want to wear them out by over
feeding. My rule is, when a COW don't
give four quarts of milk a day she goes
on to dry-cow feed, unless she will au-
swer to little extra grain and carry it
without garget or loss of appetite. Still,
as SAID, there is limit. One quart of
rye middlings, one quart of mill feed one
quart of cotton seek, one quart of glutton
meal, twice a day, wet in a butter firkin,
is the extreme limit, and less for heifers.

THE FARM Ann GARDEN.


Some farmers argue that it is best tc
set posts early in the fall when the
ground is solid, OF course post care
fully set at any time will remain in its
place, but fall is really much worse
time than is the spring. Digging the
hole makes the soil loose, and If done in
the fall it has not time to become com
pacted again. Water filters down
through the loose soil, which will raise
the post a little every year until it throws
the post out altogether If the soil has
time to settle it absorbs less moisture.
and after the first year, if the heaving
out has not already begun, it will rarely
begin. In the spring, posts may be
sharpened at the end and driven down
into the soft earth, which will close firm
ly around them. It is necessary to nut
them below the freezing line, as the
wedge shape which facilitates driving
down also makes it more easy for the
frost to heavc the post up.-Amcricaa

FEEDING CORN FODDER.

Professor w. A. Henry, from the useless
husking Of corn, when both the corn
and fodder are to be fed to steers or
cows. / believe the silo offers the best
means of preserving fodder, both ears
and stalks, for stock, but realize that n
large per cent. of our farmers are not vet
in condition, or think they are not, to
use the silo. Knowing this, desire to
see corn stalks or fodder corn, managed
in the next best possible way. When
our farmers have come to learn their
value as they should, there will be an i'm.
mense amount of feed utilized that is
now almost wholly wasted The farmer

value of the fodder, as a rule. think
and this amount is greatly reduced by
Keeping the cattle out in the winds and
, storms of early winter, where they arc
losing more flesh than the fodder they
eat will put on. The stalk-field is a de-
lusion and a snare.
The first step of advance is to cut and
shock the corn, and feed this in the barn
yard after the ears have been husked.
BY this system of feeding, as ordinarily
practiced, probably forty or fifty per
cent. of the food value of the fodder is
utilized. Better than feeding husked
fodder is to feed it unhusked in the barn
to cows. A step in advance of this sys-
tenn is TO run the corn fodder, ears and
all, through the feed cutter, and give the
cows cut corn fodder. We have exper-
imented very considerably in this direc-
tion with cows, and our results show a
saving all the way from nine to nearly
forty per cent. of fodder by the use of
the feed-cutter. Where we saved only
nine per cent. the corn stalks were small
and readily eaten by the cows without
cutting. Where nearly forty per cent.
was saved, the corn stalks were large and
coarse. In the latter case the cows left
several feet of the stalks uneaten, unless
they were cut up. Some farmers find
difficulty in having their cows eat the
coarse parts of the corn stalks, even after
they have been cut up. Doubtless if the
corn was cut and shocked when the
stalks are over-ripe, there is little use in
trying to get COWS to eat such stalks, even
if cut with the feed cutter; but when fod-
der has been cut and shocked as early as
1t should be, in most cases, all, or very
nearly all, of even the coarse stalks
will be eaten if the feeding
is properly managed. have in mind the
case of a dairyman who was feeding sew
enty milch cows in winter and who wrote
me in regard to the feed cutter. NY ad-
vice was to use it and cut up all his
stalks. He reported to me later that at
first he was very much discouraged and
disgusted, as the coarse parts of the uu-
eaten cut stalks piled up in the feeding
managers and became a great nuisance.
He suspected his management was wrong
however, and fed a smaller amount of
the fodder to each COW. BY starting
with clean managers, not overlooking,
and taking care to keep managers clean at
all times, he was enabled to make great
success of this system of feeding.
Whether it will pay to use the feed
cutter depends upon several circum-
stances, of course, but in general, 1
think, where a man has ten cows or more
there is place for this machine. Those
who buy a feed cutter should get one
large enough to be run by horse or other
power, as the hand cutter is but a de-
lusion and a snare. Furthermore, a
great deal larger machine should be
bought than seems sufficient to do the
work, for the farmer will soon have more
cows to feed, and more work for the ma
chine to do, who begins systematic feed
ing. Then, too, the machine will be on
hand when the silo is built, and the
farmer who begins to utilize corn fodder
as he should is almost certain to end with
the silo.

A Thief Caught With a Thread.

1t is born within some human be.
ings to steal. They do not all steal arti-
cles of great value, but little things,
which, though costing but a trife, cause
annoyance. A person of this sort has
been stealing paper that was left each
morning ut the Office door of a profess
sional gentleman in Bangor, the pilferer,
who had rooms in the same building, but
up another fight, taking it before he put
IN an appearance. 1t would be missed
about twice a week, and for a time the
paper boy was blamed, but later the
thief volunteered the information that
the office boy of another professional
man IN the same building took the papers
and sold them. In order to find out the
loser gave week to the business of in
vestigation, making it a point to reach
his office about half an hour ahead of the
delivery. Quietly entering, he made a
bait of an old paper, folding it after the
manner of the newsboy; punched a hole
through, run in and made fast to a spoo.
of thread, and lay in wait. When his
paper was dropped at his door he quietly
took it in, substituting the bait, leading
the thread under the door. The third
morning the spool began to unwind, and
opening the door he saw the overhead
party leading tIe thread upstairs. The
latter heard the noise, stopped, turned
round, while the professional gentleman
began to haul in on the thread. When
all the slack has been taken up a gentle
tug announced the connection; the paper
was dropped, pulled down stairs, and
the parties have not spoken since.-Lel0-
